Guelph Alumnus Magazine, Spring 1986

Woodland Indian Artist

Benjamin Chee Chee

Alumni M edia is pleased to present 9 reproductiom of W01-kS by the late Benjamin Chee Chee.

These are the only reproductionJ authorized by the tIT路tist 's estate.

A mainly self-taught anist, Chee Chee was a prominent member of the second generation of woodland Indian painters.

Unlike many of his contemporaries who employed direct and "primitive" means, Chee Chee's work was influenced by modern abstraction. His style reduced line and image in keeping with international modern art.

At the age of 32, at the height of his success, Chee Chee died tragically by suicide.

These reproductions are printed on high quality, rextured srock and measure 48 cm x 61 em (l9"x24") .

The fe ll ows hi p, wh ich provides fund s for facul ty develo pment, rotates an nua ll y among the seve n colleges. -Ine C ol lege o f J\ rt s received the first fe llows hip in 1985: in 1986 , it goe ~ to the Co ll ege of Soc ia l Scie nce.

Co llege of Art s Dean Dav id Murray says the fe llowship "has met a g re at neet! at the Un iversity fo r faculty to h ave re lease time to con ti nue the ir resea rch." Each of the s ix Arts fac ul ty me mbers who rece i ed fellowship funu, las t year were "cngaged in work ()f major. c hol ars hi p," he s ay~ , a nJ "I have great antici pa tio n of the 4 u~lI ity and , ig n ifi ca ncc of the work that wi ll be produced. " One of the recip ie nts of th fiNt fe ll ow ~ hip. Fine Art professor Chand le r Kirw in, vi., ited some of the rnitj or art Ill u,c ums in Europe to do research l'or a book he is wr it ing on the arts o f art and war during the reign o f Pope rhan VIII.

Unrestricted Funds Important Although th e AMF I'cached a record total this year, the advisory council wasn't able to give as much fin anc ial support as it had hoped 10 so me projec ts, S<lys Don Livin gs ton, director 01' annual gi vin g, Alumni Affairs and Dc ve lop me nt. TIlat's because 60 per ce nt of the money rai sed was designated for specilic uses by donors , and th e rcmaining undcsi g nated funds weren 't enough to support each AMF project at the leve l originall y plann ed, he ,ays.

In rece nt years, donors have increas ing ly chose n to design ate their support to projects in whi ch th ey have a spcc ifie inte res t. or to areas where th ey believe th ere is a significant need, says Li vin gston. As a result, thc am ou nt of unres tri cted funding has deelined, "a nd that ITas had a signilicant imract on how th e ad visory council se lec ts projects lor su pport ."

Although every gift to the ni vers ity is impol1ant, he says, "we hope to incrcase the amount of unres tricted dollars available in th e future Unres tri cted dollars give thc ad visoty co unc il some licxibili ty in all oca ting ['und s to take adva nt age of specia l oP Pol1unitics that ari se from tirne to tim e."

discirlines: agriculture, vc terin;HY medicine and famil y and co nsumer studies.

Ellen Pearson, associate librarian, inCormation se rvices, says Library fundin g frornthe 1985 AMF "was about 50 per ce nt less than we had hop ed for." Thc reduction .. is particularly devastating because th e Alma Mater Fund is one of our very Cew so urces of funding that ca n be used to suppon spec ial ac qui sition s project!>." Adding to the impact of the funding cutback is the Canadian doll ar\, loss in purchasing. power over th e past year, says Sauer. Sixty to 70 per ee nt of the Li brary's purch ases are made in U. S. funds.

More Alumni Involved In 1986, the goal for Guelph's annual giving program is $700.000. It has been se t only slightly hi gher thallthe I~K5 con tribution le vel " in recog nition of th e fact that we' re coming into a capital campaign thi s yea r," says Livingston. " Both campa igns will run concurrently, and we'll be as kin g peorle to not onl y continue their suppOI1 of annual giving, but to make a srec ial gil't to the cap irul ea l11raign as we ll. "

A ITl<lJor goal of th e 1 ~86 carnpaign, he says. i ~ tll gct more alumni in volved in annual giving. " The amount of th e gift isn't as important as the fact that you suppon the institution in a tangibl e way and maint ai n that suppon on a regul ar bas is. " Annual giving is the University's basic private tinan ci al .s urrort rrogram. say s Livingston, and the AfvlF is the hea l1 of Guelrh's annual giving. Whe n th e AMF staned in 1 ~69. hc says, it \Va, a tirnc wht:n funding was not th e proble m for universi ties that it is today. The mon ey rai scd dur-ing those early years was, filr th e 1110st pan , " icin g on the cakc" fo r G ue lph. Since then, however. "t hings have changed dramatically.

Traditi onal funding sources can no longer meet all th e basic rcquir-e illents of thc Uni vc rsity, and annual gi Ving is cruc ial to help makc up the difference. Of co urse, wc horc it will provide so me of 'the ex tr-a< as we ll."

The numbcl' of' found ,l ti ons and granting ag enc ies to which the Library ca n apply fo r acquisitions fun di ng is limited. and the Uni vers ity and government have both cut back on such funding, ~ays Bernard Katz , head of the LibralY's humanities and soeial sciences division.

'1\ Fire On The Top Of A Mountain"

By John Hearn, Public Relations and Information Services

f this were England. Nic h()las Goldschm idt would I ng si nce ha e received his knigh t足 hood and we would now be referring to him as Sir iek . But out of ddcrenee to Lhe national modesty of whic h Canada is so pro ud. we will acknowledge his recen t retirement after 20 years as artist ic direc tor of the Guelph pring Festival wi th a few words of apprec iatio n rather than with the world足 class accolades he ~ () ric hly dese rves.

Thetury. as far 3\ Guelph i ~ concemed, begins in 1967. whe n Nicky Go ldschmid t was chief of the Performi ng An~ Di vision of the Cente nnia l Commiss ill n whi ch presided over Canad a's mo~t bri llian tl y memorable year of the century. By tha t time. he already enJuyed an intcmat ional reputat ion with a stri ng of fi rsts . including fir, t music director of the Royal Conserva tory of Music Opera School, first music director of the Canadian Opera Company. managing director of the Vancouver Intemaliona l Festival and member~hip in the San Franci,co and New York un ive r,ity music fac u lt i e~.

Cultural Running Mates It was as the Centennial Performing Arts

chief, however, that he li rst met Guelph 's then Dean of Well ington College. Dr. Murdo MacK innon The encounter wa~ to prove synergistic for both me n and wa, of great historical portent for the City of Guelph .

Between them , Nie" y and Murdo dreamed up the National Conference on the Ro le of niversit ies a.' uh ural Leaders of ll1cir Commu nities. 'l11eir idea was that Illetropuli such a' Toronto anu Mon treal wcre already capab le of ini tiating and sustai ning significant performing art~ insti llltions ; it was the smaller population centres tha t were cu ltura ll y deprived . and those that prov iued homes fo r uni e r~it i es might rc.L\u nabl look to these centre, of I 'arning for lucal cultura l in it iatives.

The consequences of that con ference have been fel t all across thc nation. no t least he re in Guelph where. in 1968. Dr. Goldschmidt wa: inv ited to j in the fac ul ty :IS music d irector. There was , however, a prev iew to this appoin tment which is al 0 historically signi fi cant.

One of Nicky's Centennial chores was to organi ze national viollll, !l iano and vocal competitions. Pi anos and violins had already been spoken for in other parts of the co untry wh n it occurred to Dr. Goldschm idt, who had be'cn a person al fri end of Guelph's famed Edward Johnson, that there couldn't be a better location fo r a national vocal

Mail. quotes Nicky as sayi ng "My mai n t hnl~ t in formulallng programs was directed at Ca nadIan pcrklrmers and composers. but not to the ex cl u~ ion f great an ists fro m the internat ional scene. ..

NiCK y's vis ion has bee n fLlI l rea lized over the years wi th a galax y of internat ionally renow ned .m ists. the produ ction of Illany ra rely heard works and Illore than 25 specially cOllllllis, io neu pieces by Canadian cO lll po~cr~.

It i\ Wlll1 h recall ing that du ring its li N the Guelph Spring Festival was almo,t excl usive ly ~la l'[cd and fi nanced by the Univ..:rsity of Guelph. lt~ offices were in the Art s (now MacKinnon ) Bui ldi ng and ic ky douhkd a~ the Fesliva l\ artist ic director and the nive rsity',' director of mus ic . In the lal! r capacity he was respl. ns ible for all music Oil C'llllpUS. One of hi s most important legacIes was the strengthen ing of Ralph Klud\ popu lar ,tuuen t glee club to inc lude stalT anu faculty. and frulll this emerged the Univer.ity of Guclph Choir which suhsequcntly ' taged li vc succes...Iul Europl:an tours in ten year~ .

What comes next fo r Nid..y Go lu~chmiut? No one is taking his reti rement very seriously. Guelph wi ll now manage withou t him but the ge neral <tss uill pt iun is that he still ha); new worlds to conquer. Afte r al l. he's on l ' 78 .

Dr. MacKi nnon has the last word: " For 40 years. Nicky has challenged CanadI ans with his enthusiasm . e nergy and creativity.

His leadcrship is li ke a tire on the top of a mou ntain. " 0 , i 'l.

New Bag of Breeding Tricks

Today's cattle breeding i ndu ~try i ~ facing " a whole new bag of tncks" and, according to Professor Ted Burnside, '59, Depart­ ment of Animal and Poultry Science, pro­ ducers could soon see a "cow turned into a sow" - on a reproduc tive basis.

Dr. Burnside, director of the Centre for Genetic Improvement of Livestock at the University, noted a great deal of progress has been made in breeding techniques over thc last two decades.

And by fine tuning IOday's proge ny tests , future genetic improvemen ts could see current production rates doub le. With pres­ ent readily available techniques suc b as mul­ tiple ovu lat ion and embryo transfer, he explained tha t a cow could potentially pro­ duce as ma ny off. pring as a sow normally would in its lifetime.

A few of th newer breeding concept, have already been in ex istence for a number of years , but have only been actively prac­ tised more recently. " We knew how to get cows pregnant art ificia ll y in the '40s, but it took us unt il thc '60s to app ly that tech­ no logy to very efficient progeny testing sys­ tems , amI today we're working very effi ­ ciently in Canada in this regard, " he ,aid.

Exceptional Opportunities Citi ng ex isting breeding oncepts, he noted three possibilities that "offer excep­ tional opportunities, to enhancc our current rates of genetic progress. ., 'These consist of multi ple ovulation and embryo tran~fer, em­ hryo spli tting, and embryo !>exing, He reminded CAAB me mbers that the concepts of multiple ovulation an d , ub~e­ quent embryo transfer have been demun­ strated effectively since the early ' 70s and are currently avai lab le on a commerc ial basis in Canada. " It's a fai t accompli for ex pandin g the reproductive performance f cows," he said.

In thi s proces~, the cow is given dnlgs to encourage the release of a number of embryos instead of only one. These are re ­ covered and then transferred into other re­ cipients.

Embryo splitt ing, on the other hand, has reall y only Jus t hegu n. Spli t portio ns of the embryo are tra nsferred into a separate embryon ic sac, and then into two reci pients, "Generally speaking, tod ay we can split an embryo into two pieces which wi ll grow ­ altho ugh it's not considered fe asible to go beyond that as a routine. That allows us to get the ident ical genetic make-up into two separate an imals ," he explai ned.

And according to Dr. Burnside, the idea has many exciting possi bilit ies. For ex­ ample, one of the embryos could be grown out and progeny-tested wh ile the other re­ mained in a froLen state.

While the third concept. sex ing em­ bryos, has been avai lable as a technique for some time, it's " not quite with us ye t, but should be very soon, ..

The idea was originally deve loped with embryos that were beyond the stage of early transfe r into recipients . .. You cou ld draw off part of the embryo and de tennine whether the animal was male or fema le, but then transferring the embryo and gelling it to go to teml was very difficul t, ,. he !>aid.

And wh ile early theoretical work re ­ garding all three of these concepts suggests the current rate of progress in generics could be doubled in cattle popu lations , Burnside

also warned of risks Involved.

Possib le drawbac ks include anima l housi ng emts - which could increa~e, thereby putting pressure on capita l ex ­ penses. -The dange r of selecting the wrong am mals is also enhanced du e to the tocus on a relat ive ly small number of anima ls.

As wel l, there is danger of gett ing re­ cessives which may be carried by a smaller number of animals, and the potential rates of inbreeding in the popU lation (due to the use of ICwer animals for the ba.~e population) are also Increa\ed.

But despite possible negative factors, the director told hi s colleagues he fe lt op­ timistic for the potential of technology to prov ide new break th mughs. "because we're all interested in economic succe~s and mak · ing the farmer\ lot better. " 0

Ideal Soy Planting Conditions

If the morn ing is coolon the day you plan to plant soybeans, yo u might hetter stay in bed until noon than ru~h to get your seeds in the grou nd.

The latest researc h by Professor Ed Gamble, '52, Department of Crop Sci­ ence, shows tha t so il temperat ure and moisture content of a seed have a large Im­ pac t on its vigor. Ideall y, soys should be pi, nted at 25 degre s Celsius and 95 per cent humidity Unfortunately, these idea l conditions do not occur too frequent ly when you go to plant the bean~, Dr. Gamble said.

Ilowever, growers can compensate by planting when the seedbed is warmes t One of Dr. Gamble's graduate students has been study ing th effh;t of th e time of day of plant ing as its affects the temperature of the top two to five centimetres of soil.

Re!>ults to date confirm that emergence and yield were both reduced amo ng plants planted in soil below 10 degrees even if the ~cedlots haJ high vigor. The closer the soi l is to the ideal temp rat ure of 25 degrees. the belter.

If the temperature drops agai n at night, growers should stop planting in ti me to avoid chilling injury to the seed. Th is takes place within two to eight hours afte r planti ng in cool soil , Ed Ga mble said. He estimated there is a two-ho ur lag in the ti me in wh ich the ai r warms and the soi l warms, and be­ tween the ti me the air cools and the soil cools.

He said one way to avoid chill ing injUry is to in rea~e the moisture content of the seed to 16 to 20 per cent, but no one has flgured out a way to do th is.

The Illoisture ~ontent in the ,eed can also compensate ror low seed vigor. Seed planted at 12 per cent or more moisture give~ better emergence. Again, however, the prob­ len is how to maintain seed at a high mois ture leve l or how to raise the moisture leve l of drie r ~eed.

He sa id one possibi lity i ~ storing the seed in an insulated stee l storage silo and us ing a blower to ma intain the high moisture without ,eed spoilage. lie said the idea needs testing. but one grower has told him it's possi ble, Another possibi li ty is ~toring the seed dry and then increasing the moisture level wi thin days of planting. For instance, revers­ ing a blower to force dam p air into the seed storage are,l on a wet day in April might do the trick .

Resea r c h ers know what impact moisture content ca n have on genninat ion and , ul timately. yie ld . but more work is needed to fi nd ways to con tro l mo i ~ture leve ls, 0

Wild Blueberries...

Still Wild

Go od id e as do n' t a l w ay~ bear fruit.

Graham Gambles, ' 79 , knows this as well a.<' anyo ne after spend ing two years on a Northern Ontario blueberry project whic h - well - hasn't borne an y at all.

For two yea rs Graham has bee n at­ tempt ing to prove uncult ivated bl ue berri es can he inex pensi ve ly prod uced in Northern Ontario and shi pped down to the popul ated markets in sOllthern Ontario tor a profit. So far the bluebe rry plants have produced little to no frui t. and Grah am has , for th mo~t part, learned what no t to do if grow ing blue­ berries as a con mercial vent ure in O n t a ri o '~ nO l1hland.

As well. he faces an additional pro blem at th i ~ poin t. Project fun di ng throu gh the now defun ct Northern Ontario Rura l De­ velo pment Agreement (NORDA ) ha~ run out, and Grah am, if he still belicves there is promi.<,e 10 the fa lte ri ng project, will have to go it alone this year.

Gra ham is un willin g at this point to make <lil y co nclusions ahou t the project un­ til he gives it fu rt her thou gh t, but he di d , tate "i t's still got some promise. " He also noted, however, that he woul dn't r commend any­ one try growing bluebernes in Timis ka mi ng Di ~ tr i ct unt il he has anothe r year to test th e proj ect.

He bega n hi s plans two years ago, armed with a previous U n i ver~ity of G uelph study amI a more recent area ~t ud y which s ugge~ tcd there we re po~~ibil it i e s for )!row­ ing the cro p in an ul1 cultivatcJ manner in a rca~ <tl re ad y produc ing blueberri es, but cleared of th c:ir , urrounJ ing tfee ~ . So Graham approac hed NORDA l'l)r funding and began the 20-acre pro ject.

The land chosen is remote and we ll hidden, a Few miles from Kirk land Lake. In the begi nning, it wa\ comp lete ly covered wi th tree .... all of the III eventu al! cle:.lred by h,Hld wit h the intent ion of ,avtng the wood Jnd doing little da mage to the lan d it,e ll.

The trees we re remo ed to the lowe... t point pm,ib le, wuh a l11ulcher and mower later u ,~d tll furt he r clear the lan d. Thi ~ wa.\ Cllm­ pleted in the fall of 19B3 .

A ponJ w,,\ deve loped ncar the plot Illr irrigat iona l usc J ur in g dry times and 10 help preven t (rost Ja mage in the sp ri ng. In 1984 , f' nilizc r was pl aced in the proj ect area in a number of app licat ion" with no expectatio n of harves tin g a crop until the flll!owi ng year.

In the spring of last yea r more fen ilizer was app lied, and portions of the trial area were irrig<lted to prevent frost dam age. Fa l­ 16

lowing study recommendations, Graham ir­ rigated the remain ing plots after fin din g 10 per cent of the blueberry buds in place.

Evaluati ng this crop at up to $4 per quart, he was expectin g to harvest J 560 ,000 crop las t su mme r. What he ha r e s te d am ou nted to a handful of berries, and what he discovered was an error in judgment in a num ber of areas.

There were few buds on the bl ue berry plant s last sprin g. He bel ieved two of the main causes to be lack of proper ferti li 7.ati on and too- late irri gati on for frost. Eve n the buds that did form in the sp ring di d not survi ve to prod uce fru it last sLImmer. "'This is jus t a demons tra tion project, " he noted, addi ng he's 'ust " taki ng a fCw shots in the dark" at what sho ulJ or should not be done to properl y produce the berries.

Wh ile the initia l NORDA project is completed, Gra ham said he will work one more year to make a ' 0 of his blueherry project lie has plans to .:hange fert il ize r rates an d limes. as we ll as irrigat ing for fros t as soon a~ the snow ha!. lert.

His plans. as we ll. are to mow down the fi eld in the fall of 1986 to give the crop a period of rest. A bluebe rry crop in Non he rn Ontario wi ll have to prove ih elf before then or he will not cont inue the ent ure. 0

From the Dean

In

recent letters I have been pass ing on news of sOllle of the ncwcr and rather spec ifk developments in the College: corre~ p on ­ dcnce courses. six we k sum mcr cou rses, our use of mie n cOJJ1pute r~. and so on. In look ing back over these lettcr~, I realize thnt I have not recently givc n you Illuch idea of the overall extent or scope of our ac ti vities in FACS . Le t me do so now, for I am sure that pcople mu ~t ofte n turn to you for inforn1a­ tion about our programs. "mere is. of course, more to say than I can sensib ly condense into olle shon leller.

In vicw of th is I shall focus on the scope of our teach ing program~ in this letter and shall turn to ollr research aC'tivitie~. perhaps in my next.

The nu mbe r of g rad uate stude nt s changes vi rt uall y from mo nth to mo nth, sincc the students' M.Sc . and Ph.D . pro­ grams arc comlneted at various points in the year. At the pca k annual enrolment period , howeve r, we now havc a combined total of between 50 and flO graduate stude nt.'> in the DepartmenLs of Consumer Studies and Fam­ il y Studies, includ ing the lallcr's Master's and Doctoral programs in Iluman Nutrition.

Along with courses , the graduate stu­ dents are engagcd in very vigorous and ill1­ [lortan t rese arc h problems that generally compl ement the longer-term faculty re­ search projeCb. For somc years now tilt' College h,,, been res ponsible for two undergraduate de­ gree programs. One of these, the B.A .Sc . degree, is associated with the Departments of Con ' ume r Studies and Fam il y Studies.

Early la'-l t~lI l. there were about 1.060 ~tu­ d ent~ enro llcd in fo ur year~ of this program.

Even the smallest of the four majors. Fdm ily Studies, had a very hcalt hy ave rage of 40 students in each of thc four year groups . or a total enrol ment of abOlll 160 students fo r the major.

The most heav ily enrolled major this year, as in most recent years , is Child Stud­ ies. Last lall the re were 35 7 st udents in that major, closely fo llowed by 338 in Applied Human Nu tri tion. lhe Cons umer Studies major had an cJI[olment of about 166 students. There are always a few who take a emestcr or two to sclectthe ir major and so there were abo ut 40 add itional students in the fall who had no t elected their special iza tion.

The second undergradu ate degree pro­ gra m in the College is the fou r-year, honors B.Comm . degree based in the School of Ilotel and Food Adm inistratio n. "l11 is popu­ lar and competitive program oflers two ma­ Jors.

One of these, Hotel and f'Ood Admi n­ istration, is a manageme nt program focused on the hospitality indw,try : food, l od gi n g~ , touri,m . The othe r, im,titutional Foodser­ vi e Managemen t, is more special ized aro und the foodse rvice sector. cl11al major, incidentally, represents the fie ld into which our earlier work in adm ini strative di etet ics has deve loped La,t fall we were ollce aga ill at capm:ity enrolment in the I-Iotel School wit h slightly more than 400 B.Comm. stu dents. TIlese youn g people plan careers in the hospitality industry. an important and gene rall y thri v­ ing sector of the Canad ian economy.

All of our deg ree program" uf course,

cater to the educational and vocat iona l inter­ csts of both men and women. TI1is is inevita­ ble, if not neces sary, givc n th c way that car er opport unit ies and asp iration s fo r equal op ponunity have developed over the years.

TI1e management progra m ill the Hotel School, fo r example. readi ly appeals to both me n and women students. So. too, docs the clearly business-oriented major in Con­ sumer Studies. Gradu ates from that fie ld are generall y desti ned for pri ate-sector careers in product development and produ ct man­ age ment, or alte rnati vely, are int rested in publ ic pol icy as it rela tes t the markc tplaee.

Now mo re than e er before, both men and wo m n are preparing themselves for careers with in the broad fi eld of huma n ser­ vic s. Some have goals rel ated to profes­ ~i ona l practice, as in the case of the cl inical nutri tionist or family the rapi st. Others have interests , say, in program managcment or pol icy devel opment in such s phc res as gerontology or chi ldre n's services.

Wc arc pro ud that our teachi ng pro­ grams in FACS arc serving the i ntere ~ ts of a great many studen ts, over a wide rangc of app li ed and professional fie lds.

Let me tell you about the scope of our research programs in my next letter. In the meantime, plan to meet some frie nds here at the Co llege during Alumni Weekend ' 8fl, lun 20-22 . 0

The B A. progra m, whic h our College shares with the Colleges of Art s and Phys­ iell l Science. ha, a r:lther weak iJ nd il l-de­ lined core. Wou ld it he u ~t:ful to prc~er i bc a ~ tr(l n g common core to be completed by all B.A. ~tudents in the ir fir~t tour semestcr~') One specific idca is to have ~ total of 14 req uired COll rse~ : five in humanities. five in ~oc i a l sc icnce. two in se ienccs and two in mathem at ic, and c()mput ing. Such a core would hel p in the ac hievemen t of a var iety of ICiJrning ohjectives re lated to breadth. liter­ acy, numerac y an d ethica l and aest hct ic maturity.

2. The three- ycar general B. A. program has not been successful in sat isfyi ng depth-of. study object ives, and it att racts quite a few ~tud cn t s who are not academi ca ll y com­ mitted. Wo uld it be appropriate to reduce enrulment of the three·year program or per· haps even phase it out complete ly?

3. The four·year Honors prog ram is academ­ ically stro ng but has fa r fewer stud ents th an the th ree -year program . One of the re a~o ns may rela te to the 70 per cent require ment in the disci plinc of specializati on. Since the B. A. requ ire ments for contin ua ti on of stud y are now the sa me as for the B.Se .. would it be ad vant ageous to eli minate the 70 per ce nt requirement?

4 . The semester system is quite de mandin g in terms of number of cou rses, and it proba­ bl y docs not perm it enough time for inde­ pendent study and reflection. Wo uld it he useful to reduce the total courses required for a four-year degree to 36 so that a stude nt takes only four courses per semester in the last two years?

5. Social Science alumni and students have complai ned about the B.A. as their desig­ natcd degree. The mai n point i~ that they feel the Bachelor of Ans designat ion does not do Justice to the type of specializati on taken by a ,ocial science grad uate. The crcdt ion of a new and separate degree program (such <IS B. Soc . Sci .) would have some r i ~ks and wou ld also reduce the fl ex ibili ty curren tly ava ilahle to B. A. students. The questions arc : how wides prL:ad is th is fee ling of un hap· piness with the B.A . de~igmH io n , and are there other solutions to th is problem?

6. For more tha n ten years th e London Se· me~ rcr has been a successful component of rh e B.A. program . Every winter. some 30 ~tude nt \ and a facu lty co-ordinator (from onc uf th e departments in humanities or so­ cial sciences) spend the semester in Londo n invo lved in courses geared to that locatiolt.

There are plans 10 increa,'>e such offerings (e. g. in Nice and Strass bourg) and abu to ex tend the work-and-\l udy-ahroad aspect of the Interna ti o nal Deve lopment Program.

Would such an expansion be useful a, a way of enrich ing our programs and im provi ng the University'S profile')

7. Every uni vcr~ ity ha.s a problem with stu ­ de nts droppi ng out hefore l'ompktion of a degrce. How (;a l1 we Cllu ntcr this tendenc y'1 Would an im provcd counsc lling an d advi­ sory prof!ram be lI se ful in ident ifying prob· Icms \\'h ic h lead 10 drop out') Mo,t of (lur universities are organ i/c d alun g department·d isei pline lines and thi .~ ha, ge ne ra ll y created proble lm in mo unt ing inter-diSc iplina ry co u rse~. Such integrati ng courses are partic ularly scarce between social an d biological sciences , or between hu man ities and physical sciences. It has been suggested that Guelph should establish a School oflntegrated Stud ies to mount such courses wit h teams of fac ulty from these di fferent areas. Wou ld there be any merit in such an initiative?

Fairy Tales Can Come True

By Tom Carey, Department of Comput­ ing and Information Science Once upon a time. therc were sevr n dwarf~ and a fa ir maiden na med Snow Wh itc.

We ll actuall y. it happened more th ,1J1 l1T1 CL' upon a time. First there was the f;lmi liar fa iry ta lc version. Then there was the .:om ­ pu \t: r ind ustry vers ion: in the 1,)50s. ind us · tf) pundi ts rdcrred to IBM a' Snow White and it s competitor, ,I.' tht dwarfs. Out of th e sevcn com petitur,>. live - Honeywe ll. Bur­ ro ughs. Contro l Da ta, NCR and Un ivac (nllW Sperry )- still compete wit h IBM ;Jnd late r ent rics to the fray.

The old fairy talc has yet another com­ puter vers ion in the Depart ment ofCompu l­ ing and In for mat ion Scie nce. TI1C Depart­ men t replaced two Vax computers with a set of six " microVnx 2 " mach ines , whi ch looked like dwarfs by com pari son. The two Vax co mputers were called simply Vax I and Vax II . unl ike some other Vax s i te~ where simi lar mac hines were dubbe d KimNovax.

With the latest equ ipment changes the Uni x operati ng ~y$ t ell1 becomes the main ­ stay 01 system soft ware within the depart­ ment. When CIS hegu n using Un ix in 1977. the Bell Labs system was used almost ex­ clusively at academic sites. Now Unix is a major comme rcial prodUct, used widely in ma mframe com puting an d ~pecial markets like off ice s ystem , and computer- aid ed des ign.

Unix began at Be ll Labs in 1969 as a person al projec t of software deve lo pers. who designcd the system to meet the ir own nc e d ~ . Later. Be ll Labs began licensing Unix to academic u se r~ for a nomina l fee. and Unix very quick ly earned a rep ut atio n.

Students found Uni x. wi th its conceptual simplicity and elegancc, a joy to u ~e, once th ey overcame the cryptic user interface.

Un ix appeared at Gue lph in 1977, run­ ning on the department's PDP 11/34. At that time there was lill ie commerci al support, and learning occurred by word of mouth in the ten11 inal room (usu all y late at night).

Un ix achieved CUll statu, on campus vcry quickly. Remember the Vermont li­ cense plate hanging in Debbie Sta(;ey's ot: fi cc, which gave the state sloga n new mcan-

The Computer Revolution Has Just Begun.

T hat was the message Nobel laureate Ken ­ neth Wilson of Cornell Un ivers ity brought to abo ut 250 people attending a lec ture at the University of Guelph .

Dr. Wi lson. a phys ics professor who won the No bel Prize in 1982 fo r his researc h on critic,,1 phenomena and phase trans i­ tions , cut thro ug h the techn ic,,1 gob­ bledegook to outline the impact of ~ u per­ com puters on everyday life.

The de finiti on of a ~upe rc omp ut er changes with every adva nce in techno logy, he said . At any parllcula r time, super­ compute rs arc s im ply the most powe rfu l class of computer commercially available for scient ific and engineering computatio ns.

BLlt whi le supercom puters tend to be viewed as expensive toys Jor theoretical sci­ entist, and resea rchers. the push to develop them will come from outside the ivory tower - in private i ndu~try.

ing: "Unix-Live Free or Die"? The veterans of that early Unix exposure went on to use the system for a variety of companies and labs: Mark Ashworth, '80, at Bell North­ ern Research; Chris Retteralh, '8 J, Eddy Chik, '80, Jim Peters, '80, and others at Human Comput ing Resources; and Dave Legg, '80. at the Defence and Civil Institute of Environmental Medicine, to name just a few.

The cryptic user interface of Un ix has also become legendary. Professor Ton y Sal­ vadori, C1S , clai ms that Un ix caused hi s daughter to swear off com puters forever. It sce ms she used to hel p Dad punch in his bird migration data, and decided one day to use the system for a high school essay. After long and laborious hours of typing. she hit the ' q' kcy to termi nate instead of 'w ' . As every Unix ini tiate knows, her file disap­ peared forever (in those days nobody di d backups for you).

Now Un ix is a respected commerc ial prod uct and a closely guarded trademark.

The long-hai red, guitar-strumming Unix hacks of yesterday have been joined by (o r become) the w rporate marketing ma nagers of today.

OVC's Ve terinary Medica l In forma­ ti on Managcment System is being moved to Uni x, and Un ix has even infi ltrated the Uni ­ versity's IBM mainframes- the highly suc­ css ful CoS y con ferencing system was developed in Unix by staff of the Institute of Computer Sc ience (now Comput ing and Communications Services). 0

"Take any indust f)l and poke around in it," he said, " and you' ll fi nd a use for supe r­ computers...

Car production is one example where the need is already being discussed, he said. .. People in the automobile industry te ll me it's not unreasonah le that ,ometime in the 19905 you'll go into a car dea ler's show­ room and be shown electronicall y what kind of models might be possi ble. And you'lI sit down wi th the sa les man and together you' ll design your car - and maybe it' ll even work when you're fi nished."

Another industry already desperately in need of supercomputers is .. ir travel, he said. Ai rli nes cou ld usc th em for red irecting traffi c when an airport is fogged in.

That" done now by computer; but in­ stead or tak ing half an hour to an hour to decide which airpl anes ~hould be re- routed, the job could be done in one or two min utes.

He said supercomputers will have an impart on our II1tellectua l and soc ial life that can only he compared to one other period of hiswry - th e Renai~san c e, whic h saw th e developme nt of pri nt ing during thc 15th centu ry. 0
