Alma Mater Fund Passes Milestone

Half Million DoUar Target Exceeded By John Hearn Information Services

I t must be that time again It sometimes seems that we have hardly mailed our

response to one Alma Mater Fund (AMF) campaign appeal when suddenly there in the mail-box is another stirring letter produced by Jim Elmslie informing us that another year has gone by and please dont put that chequeshybook away

Jim who very properly capped a disshytingui shed career by being appointed director of the Department of Alumni Affairs and Development retired March I of this year We could hardly believe it because observing his constant drive and infectious enthusiasm we all thought he was still a young man Could this indicate that we too are getting older)

Also capping his career was the dramatic achievement of a Fund milestone - a camshypaign target of half a milion dollars

But thats not all The target was not only met but was exceeded reaching an allshytime high of $522325 a truly remarkable

achievement on the part of the members of the AMF Management Committee the 488 alumni and faculty volunteers who solidly backed them up and all the other alumni facu Ity and friends who donated A grateful and heartfelt thank you to you all

The Alma Mater Fund ca nvass is only an annual event to the extent that one end s - on January 31 and another begins - on Februshyary I Imagine the scene The curtain rises its late winter 1984 Barry Stahlbaum CPS 74 has some time ago handed over the presidency of the University of Guelph Alumni Association to Glenn Powell OAC 62 and the whole fund-raising process starts allover again Campaign chairman for 1985 Bill Sargant WelJ69 takes over from 1984 campaign chairmaJack Gallin OAC 47 A new campaign management committee is se t up comprised of the new chairs for the various areas of responsibility and a string of meetings starts allover again

As football coach John Musse lman said followin g the Gryphons Vanier Cup victory Championships are won during the off season Thus the first piece of mail (Howdy folks guess what it s 1985 and time once more to ) does not spring from the soil fuJly grown so to speak but is the product of months of tillage planting and cultivation - or rather planning meetings discu ss ions and the drafting of literature and mail ing-piece layouts

But then comes the harvest and just as the agricultural harvest should be measured in full bellies good health and rosy cheeks rather than bushels tonnes and bales so too should our Alma Mater Fund harvest be measured in scholarships books paintings equipment field trips and winners rather than mere dollars and cents

But the dollars were there - over half a million of them this time which may be minuscule compared with say the nat ional

deficit but skillfully managed by a properly cautious Alma Mater Fund Advisory Council they can be made to fertilizc an astonishing array of campus activities without which our Universi ty would be a poorer place indeed

Just take the Vanier Cup as an example So the Gryphons made it to the top of the national heap - not bad for little old Univershysity of Guelph whose main claim to fame in the world of inter-varsity sports is the possesshysion of an inadequate athletic fac ility

Alumni Boost Gryphons

So we have something special - drive spirit will call it what you like - but we also had new weight-lifting equipment which Dave Copp direc tor of athletics describes as absolute ly central to the whole training program It is presumably extremely well made or by now it would be showing signs of metal fatigue as a result of being in a lmost continuous use seven days a week by literall y thousa nds of athletes and asp irin g athletes ranging from the giants of the gridiron to the newest member of the womens weight-training program

National championships are won by a hair The runners-up are far from failures but however fine the margin theyre still only runners-up There are many factors which might be claimed for Guelphs competitive edge but one of them was undoubtedly the weight-training equipment which thanks to donors to the Alma Mater Fund will continue to stoke the fires of future victories

The li st of current AMF project s is far too long for a detailed account here The restoration of Johnston Hall continues - an

cxercise in fine craftsmanship calling for the meticulous reproduction of period doors the rebuilding of antique pane lling and some sensitive restoration of ornate plasterwork all carried out by specialists Stonework and tile are being cleaned ru gs replaced and period furniture refinished

This capital project of the Alma Mater Fund will take its place with the Carriage House major renovations to the Macdonald Institute on the occasion of its 75th annivershysary the Arboretum Centre and Alumni Stadium all earlier projects of the fund The continuation of Gryphon Football at the intervars ity level in 1967 was contingent upon the construction of a safe stadium for stushydent s Th ankfull y fan s and the Alma Mater Fund came to the resc ue by sponsorin g the stadium

An Athletics Centre rejuvenation proshygram ca lls for the spending of $10000 to upgrade the old facility $10000 to construct a Gryphon Room and a wei ght-training centre at Alumni Stadium plus a further $20000 to provide the equipment to complete the job

The OVC is the rec ipient of new state-ofshythe-art opthalmology equipment for carrying out microsurgery or detecting functional inherited lesions of the retina at an early stage of deve lopment These two pieces of equipshyment are the major instruments required to outfit an opthalmology suite in the Veterinary Teaching Hospital In addition to creating a major area of diagnostic and treatment excelshylence for diseases of the eye this equipment assists the College in recruitin g and retaining faculty with expertise in veterinary opthalmology

Murray speaks of the enthusiastic response to the new Donald F Forster Fe llowship which will serve an important need in the arca of faculty development The high quality or the applicants he reports is impressive Madc available from the Alma Mater Fund $20000 will be allocated annually on a rotational basis to the Universitys seven constituent colleges The College of Arts has been selected as the first to receive the award

It is interesting to note that sc holarship programs have been the principal beneficiary of the Alma Mater Fund during its brief 16shyyear history with grants totalling nearly one million dollars Library acq uisitions follow at close to $364000 College Advancement projects recei ved $221000 the Visiting Proshyfessor program $195000 Art Acquisitions $181000 and a host of other programs have all shared in the generosity of alumni staff and friends of the University

Allocations for 1985

Project proposals for 1985 are already in They include a two-year $60 000 developmcnt program to improve the Mac -FACS Child Studies Lab School facilities the object of which is to provide a mode l unit with enhanced research potential Child Studies is the largest major in the Department of Family Studies and it is within the practicum experishyence that students are able to place the theoretical aspects of their discipline under direct observation

Another Geography field course in Brishytain is planned and the OVC is to receive a Tec hnicon ti ssue processor which will be used by man y individuals in all department ~

of the College in both undergraduate and graduate teachin g research and diagnostic work

The Departme nt of Psychology is planshyning new courses as part of the Womens Studies Program and an artist has been commissioned by Chief Librarian Dr John Black to paint a portrait of philanthropist Colonel Robert Samuel Sam McLaughlin for the McLaughlin Library

These of course are only a few of the AM F-funded projech now under way or due fo r impl ementat ion in the near future

Jinl came to the University of Guelph in 1966 after 25 years with th e Canadian Armed Forces in personnel administration Typically he left the service at Trenton on a Frid ay and took up his duties in Admini strative Planning at the University on the following Mond ay

In sh0l1 order he joined the Development Fund stall as a loaned executive then moved

4

over to the newly-created Department of Alumni Affairs and Development in 1967 where he continued his work on the capital fund until it topped its goal of $9 million He launched the first Alma Mater Fund campaign in 1969

Gifts that year totalled $70 000 Now 16 years and some $37 million later the annual total has soared past the half million doll ar mark and Jim Elmslie has been involved every inch of the way

Those however were not his only duties He has been involved in the supervision of variolJs alumni association investment portshyfolios has been treasurer of the University of Guelph Alumni Association since the Assoshyciations establishment and has also been active with the Friends of University of Guelph Inc

He also had a strong guiding hand in the development of a number of special developshyment fund campaigns such as those that led to the founding of the School of Hotel and Food Administration in 1969 and the Macdonald Stewart Art Centre some ten years later More recently he was part of the team responsible for the organization and launching of the $3 2 million fund-rai sing campaign for the Guelph Centre for Equine Research

Keeping the Tradition

During hi s years of involvement with the AMF Jim has done his fair share in creating much of the Funds promotional literature and the theme for the 1982 campaign Keep the Tradition was dear to his heart One of the mailing pieces produced that year quoted Attending the University of Guelph has become a tradition for a growing number of families and we are proud of those families in our expanding alumni body who are maintaining that tradition

Though not Guelph grads themse lves Jim and his wife Kay have indeed helped to establish that tradition in the Elmslie family Three of their family of four are Guelph grads - Tom CBS BSc(HK) 74 MSc 77 who went on to earn an M D degree at McMaster University Hamilton Ron CPS 75 manager systems development Adminshyistrative Information Services University of Guelph and John Arts 78 Their daughter Linda preferred the business world and is already firmly established in that area

Jim has le ft the Department but has left many friends behind As a people person always at least as interested in the individual as the institution Jim Elmslie looks back over the formative and therefore historically the most important years of alumni contribution to the health of our University He has taken the well-deserved break he didnt get in 1966 and looks forward to playing a little golf a little bridge doing some more photography and travelling Hell be missed 0

This story by Lucy Maud Montgomery (1874-1942) a Canadian author known around the world as the creator of Anne of

Green Gables is only one ofhundreds of her short stories in the University of Guelphs extensive LM MOl1lgomery Collection

In 1975 Professor Mary Rubio sent to Dr E Stuart Macdonald son of Lucy Maud Montgomery a copy of Guelphs CCL (Canashydian Childrens Literature) a j ournal of criticism and review which was devoted 10

his mothers books This contact led to the McLaughlin Librarys eventual acquisition of an enormous coliection of literary and other materials including the ten volumes of pershysonal journals which Lucy Maud had kept from 1889-1942

Approximately half of Lucy Maud MOnlgomerys life was spenl as a ministers wife in Ontario (Leaskdale-Norval-Torolllo) and she gave several lectures in Guelph including some at the Macdonald Institlll e Professors Rubio and Elizabeth Waterston both with the Department of English at Guelph are now preparing the first volume of these diaries for publication with Oxford University Press in the fall of this year

In addition Dr Rubio hopes to find corporate funding so that the University can publish Lucy Mauds handwrillen cookbook together with some of the short stories that deal with the theme of cooking the proceeds would be used 10 endow the LM Montgomshyery Collection

Drs Waterston and Rubio traveled to Poland last summer to do research on Lucy Mauds extraordinary popularity there and they are amassing documentation from all over the world about her phenomenal and continuing appeal 0

The Strike at Putney

By Lucy Maud Montgomery

~e church at Putney was one that gladshybull dened the hearts of all the ministers in

the Presbytery whenever they thought about

il It was such a satisfactory church While other churches here and there were conshytinually giving trouble in one way or another

the Putneyites were never guilty of brewing up inte rnal or presbyterial strife

The Exeter church people were always quarrelling among themselves and carrying

their quarrels to the courts of the church The very name of Exeter gave the members of

presbytery the cold creeps But the Putney church people never quarrelled

Danbridge church was in a chronic state

of ministerlessness No minister ever stayed in Danbridge longer than he could help The

people were too critical and they were also noted heresy hunters Good ministers fought

shy of Danbridge and poor ones met with a chill welcome The harassed presbytery worn out with supplying were disposed to think

that the milleunium would come if ever the Danbridgians got a minister whom they liked

At Putney they had had the same minisshyte r for fifteen years and hoped and expected to have him for fifteen more They looked with

horror-stricken eyes on the Danbridge theoshy

logical coquetries Bloom Valley church was over head and

heels in debt and had no visible prospect of

ever getting oul The moderator said under his breath that they did over much praying and too little hoeing He did not believe in faith

without works Tarrytown Road kept its head above water but never had a cent to spare for

missions or the schemes of the church In bright and shining contradistinction to

these the Putney church had always paid its way and gave liberally to all departments of

church work If other springs of supply ran

dry the Putneyites enthusiastically got up a tea or a social and so rai sed the money

Naturally the heft of this work fell on the women but they did not mind-in very truth

they enjoyed il The Putney women had the reputation of being great church workers

and they plumed themselves on it putting on airs at conventions among the less energetic

women of the other churches

They were especially strong on societies There was the Church Aid Society the Girls

Flower Band and the Sewing Circle There were a Mission Band and a Helping Hand

among the children And finally there was the Womens Foreign Mission Auxiliary out of

which the whole trouble grew which conshyvul sed the church at Putney for a brief time

and furnished a standing joke in Presbyterial circles for years afterwards To this day

ministers and elders tell the story of the Putney church strike with sparkling eyes and

subdued chuckles It never grows old or stale But the Putney elders are an exception They

never laugh at il They never refer to il It is not in the wicked unregenerate heart of man

to make a jest of his own bitter defeat It was in June that the secretary of the

Putney WFM Auxiliary wrote to a noted returned miss ionary who was touring the

country asking her to give an address on mission work before their society Mrs Cotshyterell wrote back saying that her brief time

was so taken up already that she found it hard to make any further engagements but she

could not refuse the Putney people who were so well and favorably known in mission circles for their perennial interest and libershy

ality So although she could not come on the date requested she would if acceptable

come the following Sunday

This sui ted the Putney Auxiliary very well On the Sunday referred to there was to be no evening service in the church owing to

Mr Sinclairs absence They therefore appointed the missionary meeting for that

night and made arrangements to hold it in the church itself as the classroom was too

small for the expected audience

The Elders Take a Stand

Then the thunderbolt descended on the WFM A of Putney from a clear sky The

elders of the church rose up to a man and declared that no woman should occupy the

pulpit of the Putney church It was in direct -contravention to the teachings of SI Paul

To make mailers worse Mr Sinclair

declared himself on the elders side He said that he could not conscientiously give his

consent to a woman occupying his pUlpit even when that woman was Mrs Cotterell and

her subject foreign missions

The members of the Auxiliary were aghast They called a meeting extraordinary in

~~-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the classroom and discarding all forms and cercmonies in their wrath talked their indigshynati on out

Out of doo rs the wo rld bas ked in June sunshine and preened itse lf in bl ossom The birds sang (l nd chi rped in the lichened maples that cupped the little church in (lnd peace was over all the Putlley v(liley Ins ide the c lass shyroom d isgusted women buzzed like angry bees

Wh at on earth are we to do sighed the sec retary plaintive ly Mary Kilburn was always pl aint ive She sa t on the steps of the pl atform being too wrought up in her mind to sit ill her chair at the desk and her thin fad ed littl e face was twisted with anxiety All the arrange ment s are made and Mrs Cottere ll is coming on the tenth How can we tell her that the men wont let her speak )

There was never anything like this in Putney church before groaned Mrs Elder Knox It was Andrew McKittrick put them up to it I always sa id th at man would make trouble here yet ever s ince he moved to Putney from Danbridge I ve talked and argued with Thomas un til Im dumb but he is as set as a rock

I do nt see what business the men have to interfere with us anyhow said her daugh shyter Lucy who was s itting on one of the window sill s We dont meddle with them Im sure As if Mrs Cottere ll would con shytaminate the pulpit l

One would think we we re still in the dark ages sa id Frances Spenslow sharpl y Frances was the Putney school teacher Her father was one of the recalcitrant elders and Frances felt it bitterl y - all the more than she had tried to argue with him and had been sat upon as a child who couldn t undershystand

Im more surprised at Mr Sinclair than at the e lders said Mrs Abner Keech fannin g herself vigorously Elders are sub shyject to queer spe ll s periodica lly They think they assert their authority that way But Mr Sinclair has al ways seemed so libera l and broad-minded

You never can tell what crotchet an old bachelor will take into his head said Ale thea Craig bitingly

The othe rs nodded agreement Mr Sinshyclairs in veterate ce libacy was a st(lndi ng grievance with the Putney women

If he had a wife who could be our pres ident this would never have happened I warrant you said Mrs King sagely

B ut what are we going to do ladies said Mrs Robbins briskly Mrs Robbins was the preside nt She was a big bustling woman with clear blue eyes and crisp inci sive ways Hitherto she had held her peace

They must talk themselves out before they can get down to business she had reflec ted sagely But she thought the time had now come to speak

You know she wen t on we can talk and rage against the men all day if we like They are not tryi ng to prevent us But that will do no good Heres Mrs Cottere ll invited and all the nei ghbourin g au xiliaries notified shyand the men wont let us have the church The po int is how are we goi ng to get out of the scrape

A he lpless silence descended upon the classroom The eyes of every woman prese nt turned to Myra Wil son Everyone could talk but when it came to action they had a fas hi on of turning to Myra

She had a reputation for cleverness and origina lity She never talked much So fa r toshyday she had not said a word She was sitting on the si ll of the window across fro m Lucy Knox She swung her hat on her knee and loose moist rings of dark hair curled around her dark alert face There was a sparkle in he r gray eyes that boded ill to the men who were peacea bly pursuin g their avocations rashl y indiffere nt to wh at the women might be sayin g in the maple-shaded c lassroom

Have you any sugges ti on to make Mi ss Wil son said Mrs Robbins with a return to her offi c ial voice and manner

Myra put her long slender index fin ger to her chin

I think she sa id dec idedly that we mu st strike

Well Not Interfere At All

When Elder Knox went in to tea that evening he gl anced somewhat apprehensive ly at hi s wife They had had an altercation before she went to the meeting and he supposed she had talked herse lf into another rage while there But Mrs Knox was pl acid and smil ing She had made his favorite soda biscuit s for him and inquired ami abl y after hi s progress in hoe in g turnips in the southeast meadow

She made however no reference to the Au xiliary meeting and when the bi sc uits and the maple sy rup and two cups of matchless tea had nerved the elder up his curiosity got the betler of his prude nce - for even e lde rs are human and curiosi ty knows no gender shyand he asked wh at they had do ne at the meeti ng

We poor men have been shakin g in our shoes he said Facetiously

Were you Mrs Knox s voice was calm and fa intly amused Well you didnt need to We talked the matter over very quietly and ca me to the conclusion that the sess ion knew best and that women hadn t any ri ght to interfere in church business at all

Lucy Knox turned her head away to hide a smil e The e lder beamed He was a peaceshyloving man and disliked ructi ons of any sort and domes tic ones in particular Since the decision of the session Mrs Knox had made hi s lik a burden to him He did not understand her sudden chan ge of base but he

acce pted it very th ank fully Th ats right - thats ri ght he said

heartil y Im glad to hear you comin g out so sensible Maria I was afraid youd work yourselves up at that meetin g and let Myra Wilso n or Alethea Craig put you up to some foolishness or other Well I guess Ill jog dow n to the Corner this evening and order th at barrel of pas try flour you want

Oh you needn t sa id Mrs Knox indifferently We won t be needi ng it now

Not needi ng it But I thought you sa id you had to have some to bake for the social week after nex t

1l1ere isn t go ing to be any soc ial Not any soc ia) Elder Knox stared perplexedl y at his

wi fe A month previously the Putney church had been recarpeted and they still owed fi fty doll ars for it Thi s the women dec lared they

would speed ily payoff by a big cake and iceshycream soc ial in the hall Mrs Knox had bee n one of the foremost promoters of the entershypri se

Not any soc ial re peated the e lde r again Then how is the money for the carpet to be got) And why isn t there go ing to be any soci al

The men can get the mon ey somehow I suppose sa id Mrs Knox As for the social why of course if wome n aren t good enough to speak in church they are not good enough to work for it e ither Lucy dear will you pass me the coo kies )

Lucy dear passed the cookies and then rose abruptl y and left the table Her fa thers face was too much for he r

What confounded nonsense is this) demanded the elder ex plosive ly

Mrs Knox opened her mell ow brown eyes wide ly as if in amazement at her husbands tone

I dont understand you she said Our position is perfec tly logical

Crop Science Program

Dr Souza Machado OAC 76 His findings amazed il1lernashylionai weed sciel1lisls

Shepherds purse [TowinR amonR rutabaRa lhal doesnl have resistance 10 weed killer

OAC Triton is a product of the ongoing oilseed-breeding program in the Department of Crop Science funded by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food (OMAF) Also inshy

cluded in thi s program are soybeans white beans and winter canola varieties While spring canola dominates on the prairies there are areas in Ontario where winter canola can be grown

The crop breeders played quarterback in the OAC Triton development but the rest of the team the weed scientists extension workers -genetic ists and physiologists played crucial roles in its deve lopment

Herbicide resistance was an unknown pheshynomenon when Bob Emerson OAC 75 a

farmer in Bruce county noticed lambsguarters a weed thriving in field s he had sprayed with triazine herbicides He contacted Richard Upshyfold OAC 68 who was the local extension representative at the time and is now a member

herbicides inhibit photosynthesis

Dr Souza Machado dctermined that the chloroplasts in the resistant Jambsquarters were fundamentally different than the chloroplasts of the sensitive plants The resistance occurred at the site of the action and had very little to do with the amount of herbicide reaching the chloshyroplasts The Souza Machado findings amazed not only John Bandeen and Gerry Stephenson hut the entire international community of weed scientists

Professor Souza Machado now a member of faculty in the Department of Horticu Itural Science explains that his approach was threeshypronged He set out to determine the physshyiology of resistance to work out the mode of genetic inheritance and finally to incorporate the herbicide resistance into economically imshyportant crops Thus the research sought to transform a weed-control problem into an ecoshynomic benefit

Herbicide resistance in weeds was reshyported in scientific literature simultaneously by the Guelph group and by a California group that had found triazine re sistant groundsel in Washshyington State The University of California group submitted a paper desc ribing the resistance but a reviewer delayed the acceptance of the paper because he was skeptical of their report When the Guelph weed scientists mentioncd their findings at the annual meeting of the Weed Science Society of America in Dallas the skepshytics began to be believers

By January 1978 Dr Souza Machado had determined that resistance in Jambsquarters is passed along through true maternal inheritance This means that the gene controlling triazine resistance resides in the cytoplasm of the cell

Dr Souza Machado looking back on the chain of events says its ironic that a paper be submitted in April 1978 describing the inherishy

tance of resistance discu ssed the potential for using this trait in crop breeding The reviewer believing such speculation was premature had him excise th at section of the paper before pubshylication

Caused an Uproar

While the Guelph weed sc ientists were causing an uproar on the international weed sce ne two ex tens ion re se arc h worke rs in Quebec found triazine resistant birds rape in a farmers field near Sherbrooke Quebec Dr Souza Machada requested seeds of that weed Brassica campeslris during an eastern Canada weed meeting in Fredericton N B He recogshynized the potential for transferring resistance from the wild birds rape to canola a Brassica crop

Dr Bandeen Professor Wally Beversdorf Department of Crop Science and Dr Souza Machado applied for a grant from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council to transfer triazine resi stance from broad leafed weeds of the ge nus Brassica to rape Chinese cabbage and rutabaga

At this point in the story a key actor Proshyfessor Souza Machado exited the Guelph reshysearch stage to take a faculty position at the University of Florida The oilseed-breeding group in the Department of Crop Science carshyried on the rapeseed breeding segment of the project which led to the release of OAC Triton When Dr Sou za Machado returned to Guelph a few months later to join the Department of Horshyticultural Science he pursued the same line of research with rutabaga

Dr Beversdorf who co-ordinates the canshyola breeding effort says that OAC Triton can still be improved The oil content and yi elds are lower than in other canola varieties It also mashytures too late for some areas of western Canada

Ruwbagll wifh resiswlce (erres fhal hav been sprayed wifh weed killel

Consequently if the field s are hit by an early fro st the harvested canola has a high chloshyrophyll content

In spite of its shortcomings OAC Triton is a crucial development for about 20 per cent of the canola-growing acreage in Canada where stink-weed and wild mustard are a major probshylem By growing OAC Triton farmers can conshytrol the weeds with triazine herbicides and produce a better quality canol a oi I that is not contaminated with weeds

The oil seed-breeding program continues New varieties of canola are under increase now in Beli ze Central America and in New Zeashyland About now cultivars are being selected for agronomic performance in Canada By utili zing the growing season south of the equator the Guelph breeders are able Ie tel escope a breedshying program into fewer years During the Canashydian growing season canola varieties are grown across the province in test plots at the provincial colleges of agricultural technology at Agrishyculture Canada test stations and on pri va te farm s

High Tech Plant Breeding

Plant breeding is becoming more high tech with each passing day Breeders are now using biotechnology processes such as micros pore culture and protoplast fusion that enabl e more exact control over the genetic material

Reflecting on the development of a triazine resistant canola variety Dr Stephenson says its significant that it happened at the University of Guelph Herbicide resistant weeds have been di scovered all over Canada the United States and Europe yet the early definitive research into the mechanism of resistance unraveling the genetics and developing resistant crops were done at Guelph He attributes this to the right combination of expertise and the fact that an informal yet effective communication netshywork linked the OMAF extension workers the physiologists geneticists and crop breeders

Importance of Feedback

Dean of Research Bill Tossell OAC 47 observes that the development of OAC Triton occurred within an integrated system At Guelph sc ientists try to look at the total farm shying system not Just the individual picces he says thus the weed scientists crop producshytion experts and crop breeders work closely logethcr and maintain good communicalion We are concerned with the cntire process from basic sc ientific research to application in the farmers tield but the process also involves getshyting feedback from the farmer to the scientist Few places do this as effectively as Guelph

Never underestimate the power of inlormal colke break conversations and the power of shooting the breeze in hospitality suites OAC Triton had its origins in just such informal exchanges 0

The Strike at Putney (cond rom p 7)

going to set your opinion up against his are you Cra ig

Didn t know they taught such reverence

for ministers in Danbridge retorted Craig with a laugh

Best let em alone as Wherrison says said Abner Keech

Dont see what else we can do said John Wilson shortly

On Sunday morning the men were conshyscious of a bare deserted appearance in the

chu rch Mr Sinclair perce ived it himself

After some inward wondering he concluded that it was because there were no flowe rs

anywhere The table before the pulpit was

bare On the organ a vase held a sorry hided bouquet left over from the previous week The floor was unswept Dust lay thickly on the pulpit Bible the choir chairs and the pew

backs

This church looks disgraceful said John Robbins in an angry undertone to hi s

daughter Polly who was president of the Flower Band What in the name of common

sense is the good of your Flower Banders if you cant keep the place looking decent 1

There is no Flower Band now father

whispered PoJly in return Weve disbanded Women havent any business to meddle in

church matters You know the session said so

[t was weJl for Polly that she was too big to have her ears boxed Even so it might not

have saved her if they had been anywhere else than in church

Meanwhile the men who were sitting in

the choir - three basses and two tenors shywere beginning to dimly suspect that there

was something amiss here too Where were the sopranos and the altos Myra Wilson and

Alethea Craig and several other members of the choir were sitting down in their pews with

perfectly unconscious faces Myra was lookshying out of the window into the tangled sunlight and shadow of the great maples

Alethea Craig was reading her Bible Presently Frances Spenslow came in

Frances was organist but today instead of walking up to the platform she slipped

demurely into her fathers pew at one side of the pulpit Eben Craig who was the Putney

singing master and felt himself responsible for the choir fidgeted uneasily He tried to catch Frances eye but she was absorbed in reading

the mission report she had found in the rack and Eben was finally forced to tiptoe down to the Spenslow pew and Whisper Miss

Spenslow the minister is waiting for the

doxology Arent you going to take the organ

Frances looked up calmly Her clear

placid voice was audible not only to those in the nearby pews but to the minister

No Mr Craig You know if a woman

isnt fit to speak in the church she cant be fit to sing in it either

12l__________________________________________________~

Eben Craig looked exceedingly fooli sh He tiptoed gingerly back to his place The

minister with an unusual flu sh on his th in ascetic face rose suddenly and gave out the

opening hymn Nobody who heard the s inging in Putney

Church that day ever forgot it Untrained basses and tenors unrelieved by a s ingle

female voice are not inspiring There were no announcements of society

meetings for the forthcoming week On the way home from church that day irate husshy

bands and fathers sco lded argued o r pleaded

accord ing to their several di spositions One and aJi met with the same calm statement that if a noble self-sacr ificin g woman like Mr

Cotterell were not good enough to speak in

the Putney church ordinary every-day women could not be fit to take any part whatever in its work

Sunday School that afternoon was a

harrowing failure Out of all the corps of teachers only one was a man and he alone was at his post [n the Christi an Endeavor

meeting on Tuesday night the feminine eleshyment sat dumb and unresponsive The Putney

women never did things by halves The men held out for two weeks At the

end of that time they happened to meet at

the manse and talked the matter over with the

harassed minis ter Elder Knox said gloomily [ts this way Nothing can move them

women [ know for Ive tried My authority

has been set at naught in my own household And [m laughed at if I show my face in any of the other settlements

The Sunday School superintendent said the Sunday School was going to wreck and

ruin also the Chri stian Endeavor The conshydition of the church for dust was something

scandalous and strangers were making a mockery of the singing And the carpet had to be paid for He supposed they would have to

let the women have their own way The next Sunday evening after service

Mr Sinclair arose hes itatingly His face was flushed and Alethea Craig always declared

that he looked just plain every-day cross He announced briefly that the session

after due deliberation had concluded that Mrs Cotterell might occupy the pulpit on the

evening appointed for her address The women all over the church smiled

broadly Frances Spenslow got up and went to

the organ stool The singing in the last hymn was good and hearty Going down the steps

after dismissal Mrs Elder Knox caught the secretary of the Church Aid by the arm

[ guess she whispered anxiously

youd better call a special meeting of the Aids at my house to-morrow afternoon [f

were to get that social over before haying begins weve got to do some smart scurryshying

The strike at Putney was over 0

Good Food - Good Friends I can almost hear you muttering to yourshyse lves as you glance at the above headline Wh at does this have to do with Social Scishyence Well now that I have your attention do read on and youll find the connec tion

Carol (Aiken) Cooper 62 a charter member of the fonner Wellington Coll ege has proved that good food leads to good friends - if you go about it in a certa in way

Good Food Good Friends is the title of a book co-authored by Carol and Hushyguette Khan a good friend Carol met while enjoying good food

I happened thi s way After graduating with a BA from Wellington College Carol headed west to the University of British Coshylumbia and obtained a Master of Social Work degree She worked at a ca reer in soc ial work married and when ready to start a famil y took time out from her caree r

Later Caro l and famil y moved to the Mississauga area They found it di ffi cult to get to know people so they joined a Newshycomers Club and through that beca me inshyvolved in a dinner club They were members of a dinner club for four years with Carol running it for two of those years Some 80 couples belonged to the club It was through this involvement that Carol met Huguette

Later the couple organized a smaller group of cight couples closer to home beshycuuse you see people wuve to them recogshyni ze them gcnerully but don t rea ll y ge t to know thcm A dinner club is u great wuy of getting to know pcople

The uuthors of thc book recommend the dinner club concept us u great way fo r people to meet to get to rea lly know one unother and entertain to feel comfortable whil e putting on a complete dinner for u group und to be able to ufford to put on expensi ve dinners

The couples meet regulurly to try new menus und shure not only the work but the fun as well Euch couple is ass igned u purt of u meul to prepure with reheuting und finul touches bei ng done at the home of the host couple Thi s meuns less time indi viduully in the kitchen prepuring for the party and morlt time middotto SflCRd with guest~ during the

Carol (Aikm) Coop( 62

eve ning Sharing in volves not only the work but the expense says Carol and the enJ OYshyment comes fro m tryin g new foods ex perishymenting with new rec ipes and naturally from new fri endships

I asked Carol if she hud any words of advice or wisdom to impart to new grads Oil

reac hing for and achievin g success Carols advice is to use your B A as a stepping stone to grea te r things try not to get ti ed up in ex pec tations that are traditionul

There ure lots of o ptions und for women specifi call y Cum I suggests ge tting a degree and a couple of yeurs of ex pe rience in u chosen held before considerin g marr iuge und children Huvi ng this will give you more options when you re-enter the job Illurket

She stresses thut there are a lot of choices so think and pi un wcll and always keep un open mind tor options Be involved in whuteve r is going on - keep acti ve

A Means to a Beginning I first met Gurnam Singh 77 in the mid -70s while both or us were un de rgradushyates We found we had two important things in comn)on We were both working on deshygree s while holding down tull-time jobs and both of us worked for the Provincial Ministry of Corrections

It was obvious from the course being attended that we both had a more than pass shying interest in criminology While I veered away from thi s field after graduating Gurshynam strengthened his interest by obtainin g a certificate in corrections from McMaster University and recentl y a Masters degree in Criminology

[n 1970 Gurnam ca me to Canad a from his home in India to start a new li fe He arrived here with some anx ieties to say the least He was in a stra nge country with strange ways He had a BSc (Agr) degree and $80 in his pocket

He obtained a job with the Minist ry of Corrections and was so influenced by the humanistic approac h to the less fortunate that he broke hi s serv ice with the Minisliy to enro l at Guelph and ea rn a BA in Soshyc iology

In 1981 he took a leave of absence from the Ministry and attended the University of Ottawa in the Masters program in crimishynology He graduated FOm Ottawa in 84 and returned to Guelph and the Ministry

He and his wife Rachpal recently we lshycomed their first born a so n Gurjeet Pal into their world A world Gurnam says that is much better economically and soc ially than that of his homeland

He jogs regular y every ot her day to keep in shape and enjoys camping and cyshycling He is an advocate of human rights the

Cumwl Sillgh 77

rights of minorities and the nucl ear freeze Hi s firm belief is in a Just soc iety although he realistica ll y agrees that in practice its almost impossible to achieve

To future grads Gurnam says education is the key to constructive me ntal power which can help resolve human problems and help one achieve se ll-worth se lf-pride and se lf es teem as well as seltcontidence

[t would seem that Gurn am has achieved all of the above through hi s detershymination to succeed and his dedication to a course of stud y th at would see him wel l on the way to success

Somehow I dont see his actions as a means to an end but rather to a beginningshyof a new li fe in a new cou ntlY with a new famil y 0

In Memoriam

It wa with deep reglet thut we learned of the sudden death of fichael Edward Mike James 72 on Fcbrua ry 2llth 1985

He was pre~idellt of the interim exshyecut ive committee that worked hard and dil shyigently to orgltJ nizc yo ur Alumni Assoc iashytion and lealized the wi shes and drea ms of mltJn y when the CSSAA came into bein g

He was pnceived to be a modest man by many and especially by his mother She had no idea of the work he did toward s achieving the aims or the steering cOllllllitshytce nor or his hard work and acti vities as president of the first elected Board 0 [ DirecshytolS that guided LIS to the successful but still growing alumni as~oc iati on we have today

Mi ke had a short life by tod ays stanshydard s but it was a life tilled witl) di vers ifi cashytion that led to his tinal succcss as a lawyer in Gue lph He came to Toronto from England with his parents at age one After high school he so ld cars drove an am bulance work ed in a bank as a barman and with a law firm which whetted his desire to becomc a lawye r Thi s he achieved when he was ca lled to the Bar in 1977

Those of us who knew Mike will miss him but tind solace in the fac t he did not go through life unsuccessfully He left hi s mark on your orga ni zation We can pay t1ibutc to his memory by continuing hi s hopes and aspirations in building a strong positive alumni as~oc iation

Our condolences go out to hi ~ mother sister Alison an d nieces EI izabeth and Cathy in their loss Pelhaps the knowledge that Mike was a quiet but dedicated doer will help ease thei r sorrow and add pleasure to memories 0

Thi s is the first time in the 20 years of its ex istence that the award has been made to a microbiologi st and the fi rs t time the honour has come to the University The annual prize is admini stered by the National Research Council (NRC) in memory of one of Canadas foremost sc ientists E W R Steacie a physical chemist and a form er president of the NRC

Professor Beve ridges work is with mi cro-orga ni sms bacteria so small that hundreds of millions would be needed to cover the head of a pin The microbi ologis t explains that he uses bacteria as a model to understand how molecules fit together to form cells They are easy to grow and manipshyulate and are made up of the same basi c materials as man

Through the development of new techshyniques he can now label the components of the organism with spec ific heavy metal probes making it possible to study strucshytures such as bacterial walls and membranes under the sca nning transmi ss ion electron microscope Through this tech nique the scishyentist can specifically label biolog ical mole-

cules for the first time Terry explains that a magnification of a

million is commonly used to examine the molec ular structure of bacteria walls and membranes whereas a magnification in the neighborhood of 100 000 is sufficient to examine th e whole organi sm

This work involves cons iderab le chemshyistry and biochemistry for the researcher to make sure the correct compound has been tagged by the metal probe As a result of the tagg in g he has come to understand the physi cal che mist ry of bacterial surfaces confirming that these surfaces are usually hi g hly cha rged and he nce react very strongly with their environment

For example bacteria in natural waters react with heavy metals by taking them into the bacterial wall and thereby sweeping them ou t of the environment to fo rm a metallic covering which Terry compares to a fur coat

These coated bacteri a tend to flock togethe r then sink to the sedime nt at the bottom of the lake or ri ve r Thi s is a possible explanation for the fact that heavily polluted bodies of water like Lake Ontarios Burshylington Bay do not have the metal load that might be expected

In an int erestin g sideline on thi s

research carri ed out in co njunction with geo logist s at the Un ive rsi ty of Wes tern Ontario it has been discovered that the met al-coa ted bac teria eve ntu al ly form metal-rich rock

Terry explains that there has bee n conshysiderable co ntroversy among geologists as to whether very old rock conta ins microshyfossils The Guel ph-Western team feels their simulation of diagenesi s (the formation of rock from sedimentary materi als during milshylions of years) proves that the form s seen in early cherts or shales are in fac t microshyfossi ls demonstrating that life was es tabshyli shed 36 billion years ago a mere billion years after the planet came into existence

A further aspect of Terry s research looks at the structure of the hol es that are part of the bacterial wall He exp lains that pharmaceutical companies have developed thou sands of antibiotics over the years that have absolutely no effect on bacte ri a Hi s look at molecular structure leads him to believe that holes penetrate through bacteshyrial walls Thi s means that for antibiotics to reac h the underlying cells to carry out their killing ac tion they must be tailored to the shape of the hol es Since bac teri a can change very quickly eve n initially effec ti ve an tibiotics can soon be repelled by changes in the sieving quality of the wall

Scientists come from around the world to study the tec hniques deve loped by Terry so that there are often from two to ten visshyitors queuing up to use the microscope one of onl y three in Canada and the onl y one devoted to this type of research Terry is director of the Guelph Regional Natural Scishyences and Engineering Council of Canada Scanning Tra nsmi ss ion E lec tron Mi c roshyscope Facility The huge instrument wi th its accompanying co ntrol unit and television sc reen is located in th e Department of Microbiol ogy

Farm Study by U ofG A contract [or a $100000 study of farmshyfamily incomes has been awarded to the Univers ity one of three applicants seek ing to conduct the study for the Agricultural Council of Ontario

Delbert OBrien chairman of the reshycently-appointed council sa id las t week that while a ll the proposal s were excellent the se lection committee was of the opinion that the proposals put forth by the University would best address the issue

We were very critical in our examinashytion OBrien said but were sa ti sfied that the University is going to take a look at this from the farmers perspec ti ve

OBrien said he believes the study wiJl be a first of its kind In the past all the factors that weighed aga inst the farmer were considered Thi s stud y will di ffe r from others in th at it will attempt to pinpoint the often ove rlooked areas relating to farm inshycome he sa id

The public may be too well informed of

issues like farm tax loopholes and su bsidizashytion programs - all the things that calcushylate against the farmer whe n considering income OBrien said - and ye t often ig shynores the lack of social programs such as unemployment insurance and paid overti me

Well be considering all the overshylooked issues the chairman sa id such as asset depreciation and absence of subsidies enjoyed by urban people which include transporta ti on sewage and water Also the study will attempt tu quantify the ex tent of unpaid farm labour of children and spouses

All these matters are go ing to be studshyied for the first time O Brien said Indeed in all of the proposals received a common theme was that the mandate of the st udy was very different from anything undershytake n before he said

The progress of the study will be reshyviewed by the Agricultural Council perishyodicall y and upon its completion it will be the Councils duty to presen t the report and make recommendations to the agriculture mini ster

As a farm er Im delighted theres been this commitment of fu nds made avai labl e to examine the issue OBrien said parshy

ticularly when farm income is so crit ica l The Council hopes to use the study as levershyage to encourage the introduct ion of proshygrams to reli eve - at least what I presume to be - the critically low level uf farm inshycomes he sa id

By choosing the University to conduct the study OBrien said that the coun cil wi ll be getting full value for the dollar due to the expertise and ex tensive computer capac shyity in existence at the Univers ity

Much of the University s work will enshytail collating existing information O Brien said Much of this data is ava ilable but it s locked away in government vaults

0 Brien said he would make no preshydictions as to the outcome of the study however he conceded that we know farmshyers are unde r a great financial stress

Once the report is conc luded the Council will attempt to bri ng the fact s to the urban community which all too uften doesnt want to understand the issue faced by farmers OBrien said

Studies suggest that farm income is less now than it was ten years ago O Brien said Urban people he suggested wouldnt put up wi th that for a day 0

Holev OAC 80

Shes the First Ever bull bull By Bernadette COlli

Dorothy Haley OAC 80 BSc (Agr) Crop Science never gave much considerashytion to the fact that she was in an occupation traditionally held by men

I guess youre more concerned about your performance when you start ajew job she says

Appointed a soils and crops special ist by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food (OMAF) about a year ago Dorothy was the first woman ever to receive the posishytion with OMAF - and although that in itself was different she never felt it

Maybe she admits some farmers view working with a woman as somewhat of a novelty but she points out she doesnt look for chauvinism on the job And any time she may hear the odd critical comment she has to consider that the remark may have been made to any new young person

Ive been fortu nate Ive never had sexual discrimination on the job she says

Dorothy believes her role in agriculture is somewhat insignificant when compared to the roles played by women on the farm Their function she points out is often underestimated

Women on farms are raising families working out side of th e operation someshytimes on a full-time basis and coming home in the evening to do farm work she says Because of the demands of home life they find it difficult to get out to seminars and producers meetings where decisions affectshying farmers can often be made

I think we need more rural day care she says With additional day care farm women could work freely around the farm wimiddotthout having to worry about which child is playiflg around with w-hat p4eGc middotof

machinery As well day care would free women for meetings

Right now she says farm women are risk ing burn-out

Dorothy was immersed in agriculture at an early age being raised with seven sisshyters and two brothers on a farm Perhaps because there were so many gi rls she notes she along with her sisters was encouraged to work in all aspects of farm life

Her mother too participated in all farm work Maybe Dorothy says if there had been lots of sons the boys would have been the only ones to work in the barns and the gi rls wou Id have been assigned to the kitchen

As it turned out she never thought twice about doing all kinds of farm work and grew up in an environment where duties were not assigned according to sex

Im not traditional she notes adding that she is definitely not a radical feminist either

Dorothy was ap pointed a soils and crops specialist with OMAFs Plant Indusshytry Branch in September 1983 and covered Stormont Dundas Leeds and Grenville after working as assoc iate agricultural represhysentative in Renfrew county for about three years

Later she took over the position of Jerry Winnicki OAC 78 who had been covering Lanark Carleton and Renfrew Counties Last October she moved from the Kemptville office to the Carleton office to be closer to her assigned territory and her Ottawa hom~

Dorothy was not always sure she wanted to make agriculture a career and she struggled with severa l options during her 1ast high school years To a large extent

opportunities just turned to agriculture and it in tum opened doors for her

After graduating from high sc hool she was totally undecided about a career choice She had applied for agriculture nursing and journalism courses she recalls with a laugh

Instead of go ing back to school after high school she participated in an exchange program wi th Canada World Youth and it was during her five months in Colombia that she was better ab le to focus in on her desired career choices

It was there she says that she learned the importance of agriculture to the developshyment of any economy To develop a country first has to become self-sufficient in food a goal Colombia had not achieved Thats when I realized agriculture was for me she says You sort of see that it s the core of society and its development

Most Colombian land she ex plained was put into coffee bananas and marijuana for foreign markets Colombians felt that they could import food with the money they raised from exporting cash crops But that prevented them from farming basics like corn Dorothy says that could be used to develop a dairy industry

As an agricultural sector becomes more and more developed the same amount of food can be produced by fewer people Then there are more people to take jobs in the food proce ss ing indu s tries s he remarks But too much of Colombias food was being exported for process ing

Having learned a great deal of Spanish while away Dorothy returned to Canada to study an inte nsive Spanish course and became flu ent in that language Although interested in agriculture she had not been able to get rid of the idea of becoming a journalist and she knew that having a secshyond language could be helpful to reporters

I had it in the back of my mind to be an agricultural reporte r she says So after taking Spanish Dorothy studied agriculture at the University and received her degree in Agriculture with th e hope of meeting requirement s to enter a one-year journalism course offered by an Ottawa university

While at Guelph Dorothy decided to

major in crop science one of 12 women among 70 students to do so The animal science major saw many more women she notes supposing that a substantial portion of the women there were hoping to some day become veterinarians It was in the 1970s shyshe says when women started to study agrishyculture in a big way

After graduation Dorothy applied to the University of Ottawa to start on the last leg of her studies but was turned down

Today it doesnt matter to her As she points out the career she chose has been good to her allowing her to achieve the goal of having a satisfying job middot0

and monitoring Computers can be used for Computers in the Greenhouse closing ve nts turnin g the heat on or ofL

This is the decade of the computer arid if you dont believe it you have your head buri ed in the sand

That was the message a large group of greenhouse growers received from Dr Bob Langhans Cornell Un iversity New York at the sixth annual Canadi an Greenhouse Co nshyference at the Universi ty of Guelph

Dr Langhans has done ex tensive wo rk wi th computers as they relate to the gree nshyhouse industry At Cornell resea rch has been go ing on for a number of years and has involved many New York State growers

According to Dr Langhans there are three areas that greenhouse growers can utishyli ze a computer in business records crop and spaci ng schedul es and monitoring and contro l 01 the greenhouse environment

He sa id that using the computer for business record s is vcry simple and that costs are relatively low Ca lling them elecshytronic spreads heets he said that all busishyness informat ion such as billing can be at a growers fin gerti ps rather tha n scatt ered around in manu al ti ling systems

He knew of one New York State grower who kept over $500 000 in assets ti led away in a shoe box that was take n on annual trips to the growers account ant

I can t understand why every grower isnt using a computer he said They re so easy to use

Research at Cornell Un ive rsity shows that effi cient use of fl oor space for crops is an area tha t growers can benefit in most by adding it compu ter The studies show that most utilization of Roor space worked out on paper rather than a computer is only 80 per cent at best and 50 per cent at worst

He said the reason for the inefficiency is due to va riables tha t pop up during the growing season that force shifting of the growers Roor pl an Thi s ma kes it di ffi cult to plan on paper whereas computers ca n be progra mmed to shift th ings arou nd as vari shyables are introduced

The studies show that a square inch of space costs the grower about lO to 15 cents a week in operating costs At thi s rate the unshyutili zed space end s up costing the grower quite a bit of money

The savings a grower could obtain by using a computer would more than pay fo r the equ ipment Ordering in of pl anting mashyterials would al so be improved th rough the use of a computer

The hottes t item right now in greenshyhouse computers is in environmental control

pulling thermal blanket s ove r seedlings and controlling humidi ty in va ri ous sec tions of the gree nhouse

Another item that he wou ld like to sec incorporated into the control and monitor functi on is some form of redund ancy He said th at too many companies don t bother to build a back up system into the co mputer fo r ti mes of powe r shortage s

A grow ing tre nd in the horticulture industry is pl ant modellin g Bas icall y it means that plants will be modelled after a set of standards that have been established by research

Items such as the correct amount of sunlight for the specifi c time of day and co rrec t amount s of carbon d ioxide for growt h will be taken into account He sa id that using a compu ter will be the only effishycient way to operate it gree nhouse when modelling comes into full sw ing

Dr Langhans took a hand count of growers at the confere nce and di scovered th at onl y about 10 per cent of those altend ing were using co mputers He predicted that the number would increase to 50 per cent by the same ti me nex t year

The biggest problem seems to be fear of the systems by the grower he said But there is reall y no problem Most computers are user-friendl y 0

Ozone D amage in Ontario

O zone damage to Ontario crops according to a Ministry of the En vironment study is costing farmers close to $23 milli on in lost yields annuall y However Professor Douglas Ormrod Department of Horticul tura l Scishyence Uni versity of Guelph feels that the study is somewhat short -s ighted and that the es ti mate should be about 50 per cent hi gher

According to Dr Ormrod not enough crops were considered in the study aimed at assess ing how muc h money long-range airshyborne pollutants are costing Ontar io agrishyculture

He noted that the study di dnt consider any ce real crops other th an wheat Other areas that were overlooked altogether inshyclude forage crops oil crops other than soyshybeans fruit crops other than grapes and several vegetable crops

The study releaseu late last year is an attempt by the Ministry of the Environ ment to get some hard data on the ex tent of airshyborne po llutant uamage It considered onl y ozone uamage and will be followed in about two years by a report on acid rain

Dr Ormrod speak ing at a recent OAC conference said that ozo ne influences plant growth by causing visible injury reducin g the effec ti ve leaf area caus ing biochemical and phys iolog ical effec ts causin g a change in the allocation of photosy nthisents in the pl ant and interacting with other pollutants The crop is usually rejected by consumers because of the spotty appearance

The study also shows that there has been a general decrease in ozo ne damage since 1974 Dr Ormrod said that thi s may not mean much because the ozone may have di sappeared into ac id rain production He sa id the amounts of nitrogen ox ides that are leaving the stacks could have remained the same or have even increased

Ozone forms naturall y in the Eart hs atmosphere through chemical reactions with pollutants that come from high industrial moke-stacks Most of the ozone that fa ll s on Ontario starts out in the Ohio River Valshyley industrial area

The main po llutants from the stac ks are sulphur diox ide and nit rogen ox ide They

eventually end up fall ing back to earth in the fo rm of gas aerosol fog cloud s acid mist or ac id rain Ozo ne one of the first gases to arise in the wh ole process can stay in its gaseous form or go on to help form acid rain

According to the study 0 08 parts per milli on of ozone is damaging to crops Ormrod said that monitoring stations that are located in the Simcoe area detected close to te n oc c urre nces of thi s level be in g reac hed or exceeded by early June of las t yea r

The re port showed that most of the ozone fe ll in south wes tern Ont ar io and around Toronto It was also in thi s area that the most damage to crops was reported

Dr Ormrod said that it was not likely th at anything would be done about cutting down ozo ne leve ls He pointed out that sulshyphu r di ox ide could be cut down co nsidershyabl y with the proper tilterin g equipment but that the cost was the prohibiting fac tor He estimated that the cost to outfit one power stati on would be $23 million

The story is onl y part way along he said I th ink we have to add some addishytional estimates of the values of our own health in a polluted environment versus that of a cleaner environment 0

At long last we have sufficient quantity for you to have one of your own Guard it with your life These tuits are ha

For years youve been rd to come by especial-

saying Ill do that as soon as I get a ro~nd Now that you have a round tUlt

of your own many things that you meant to do just may get donel

So get tuitl

ly the round onesl

tuit

By John A Anderson 12 Farm Business Advisor OMAF Kingston

Recently I got a gift that ha~ presented me with a very large problem I received a round tuit I now have it placed on the wall in front of my desk

You may well ask - So what s the problem The problem is that now [ must look for another defence when certain tasks are not performed Before I made the weak excuse that I would finally do it as soon as I got around to it

Perhaps my best defence would be to eliminate the problem entirely and use the presence of my round tuit to remind me to make better use of time to be a better planshyner to set goa ls and objectives combined with steps to achieve them

I believe that a farm manager must set goals and objectives for the shon te rm the intermediate and the long term must be a planner and definitely must make effective use of time

The total farm management package is a combination of production and financial management tasks and responsibilities

Being human we all enJoy doing those tasks that come easily to us and those that give us the most personal and physical sati sfaction The other tasks too often fall prey to the time when- we get a round tuit

Now you too can have a problem Ive finally got my own round tuit and if you cut out the above reproduction - youl have yours too With the thought that others may well el ec t to be faced with thi s problem I decided to put the following thoughts down on paper

Im going to list all those tasks that I enjoy those that I have to do and those I should do II then set out a plan of attack a road map of where I want to be - and when Basically Ill se t a pl an by objectives Ill not let myself be robbed of my most valuable and rapidly-reducing gift - time

Ill try to blend the tasks wherever possible so that they dont tire me or bore me and send meto sleep I will plan the tasks in such order so as to maximize my time and my management with the ultimate goal of maximizing profit or reward

Ill also set down the obstacles that I know will be jeopardizing my plan With that in mind Ill list what help Ill need and what I might need Now all this planning sounds wonderful but you and I both know that the plan could end up in the filing basshyket and I wont get back to th at flle until next year at this time when Im looking for a topic to write about That is the beauty of my roundlUit Its a reminder of my promise As I mentioned its on the wall in front of my desk We all need reminders like an

alarm clock to jog us from a deep sleep One of the obstaces that might jeoparshy

dize my plan can be overcome by setting out physical reminders appointments sc heduled with bankers accountants agroJogi sts other spec ialists or just largc X s on the calendar

Some managers I know have a recordshyingjournals with large desk calendars notshying plans and reviewing accompli shments to date Each of us is different when rising to a new day some of us do it naturally some require a soft alarm - some need someone to kick them out of bed

If all el se fail s use your round tuit Remember if you fail to plan youre planshyning to fail 0

I was really surprised and delighted It s marvellous to be recognized because I take pride in what I do I love to hear someshyone complimen t me on my flower beds shyand Im conceited enough to enjoy their praise he said

He tells novice gardeners that the seshycret to successful gardening is planning the garden on paper He spends a lot of time just thinking llbout what hes going to do and spends the winter months looking through nursery catalogues

The other secret he says is getting good advice from the local gardening centres hOI1icuiturist or from a honicultural soshyciety member

The bi centennial ga rdening co nte st was one pan of the Ontario in Bloom proshygram which was sponsored by the Ministry and aimed at promoting horticulture during the provinces bicentennial year It al so ofshyfered a way Ior local horticultural soc ieties to promote civic beautification 0

From the Dean

Dr Barham

Computers and the ex plosive growth in information technology seem to be touching our lives now in virtually uncountable ways While we have at FACS for a long while had faculty and graduate students using the large central campus computers especially for working through the analyses associated with their research programs we are now moving along rapidly with the wave of the microcomputer revolution

These are fast-moving times insofa r as information technology is concerned and we are finding it exciting and stimulating to probe the opportunities which are opening u[) for us through the new technology

If you were to wander around our Colshylege building you would likely immediately notice the microcomputers being used in the administrative offices In these areas word processing is by far the most common application and this use has proven to be an extraordinary blessing in the preparation of scie ntific papers and manuscripts not to mention our more routine office work

In the De[)artment of Consumer Studshyies for example Dr John Liefe ld has stushydents using microcomputers within their research methods course There are three aspects to eom[)uter use in this course First the computer is used as tutor in presentshying in an individuall y selt~paeed seq uence a number of course modules

Students work through these at their own pace Second student mastery of the material in the modules is tested by means of a computcr-based tcsting progral11 with equivalent test items varying within lil11il s from studcnt to student or occasion to occashysion And finally in this class Ihe I11icroshycom[)uters arc being used by st udents in so lving real research problems

Dr Anne Wilcock Consumer Studies hls an attractive and interesting comshy[)uter iied system [or assisting student learn shying of the rather dry detail s of tex tile legislation She has developed abo ut 70 pages of video-tex t presented by means of Telidon

By thi s means she can expose students to a colourful self-paced teaching module which is followed up with a sell~admin shy

istered test Dr Wilcock finds it very easy to up-date and correct specific pages of text as

the legi s lation changes Students have reported most favourably on the format and prese ntation of this material

Dr Marshall Fine Family Studies also has an interesting application thi s time into some clinical teaching at the graduate leveL He is using a computer-based system which enables graduate st udents to interact with video-prese nted problems in family therapy

Each of these problems is associated with a range of optional resolution s The main purpose of thi s particular application is to help students resolve some of the conshyfusion they ex perience within their training as they meet the variety of methods which must be used within famil y therapy sessions Much better to deal with thi s confusion on a simulation exercise rather than with rea l troubled families

These are just some of the examples of how micros are being used in the College beyond their more usual use in relation to

research project s One of the roadblocks were facin g at the moment relates to the need to se t up a sma microcomputer lab (or students right here in our building We need to find the financial resources to take that nex t and very necessary step

[ feel sure that the next few years are going to see man y other new strides being taken in the application of information tech shynology and not just at our University

I hope that these regula r comments from my desk are serving to keep you in touch with some of the interests we have here in FACS We would very much like to hea r from you too so if you have some interesting news or achievements to share do please take a few minutes to write to us and te ll us about them We always apprecishyate hearing from our alumni

I shall be looking out for you on camshypus during Alumni Weekend June 14-16 I hope that I may see you there 0

same building so maybe it is too much to expect more research collaboration between A Decade of (GWC)2 chemi sts who are 18 miles away from each other

The geographical separation was inishytially seen as one of the big problems to overcome in establishing the Centre Not everyone sees it as ad isadvantage The vans ties the two campuses together but each department retains the more intimate feeling of a small department Professor LeRoy says there is much more conversation and inforshymal interaction between re search group s than there is in large departments where the groups are often isolated islands of activity

Must Continue to Think Smart

After such a spectaculmiddotar first decade can the (GWC)2 keep up the pace Professor leRoy believes that resea rch funding will continue to increase because many young scientists in (GWC)2 are still establishing

their reputations Professor Scoles feels faculty members

have to continue to think s ma rt We achieved a lot in the first decade but now we must guard against becoming complacent We have to continue to innovate and work at

collaboration Professor Carty sees the Centre s chalshy

lenge in the next decade as living up to its reputation We have become a model for other places Before Carleton and Ottawa launched a joint program for graduate work in Chemistry they visited (GWC)2

Professor John Campbell the current director of (GWP)2 describes (GWC)2 as one of the premier chemistry graduate sc hools in Canada Both organizations have had to overcome problems arising from different rules and procedures at the two univers ities We in (GWP)2 have been greatly helped by the open-mindedness of both offices of graduate studies where the rules have been interpreted sensibly rather than dogmatically Its no secret that (GWC)2 broke the ground 0

Excerpted from an article by Mary Cocivera Information Services

The we try harde r syndrome has yielded spectacular results for the Guelph Waterloo Centre for Grad uate Work in Chemistry (GWC)2 In its first ten years (GWC)2 has become one of the largest and best chemisshytry graduate programs in Canada By any measure - numbers of graduate students publications research funding or equipshyment grants - the Centre is an unqualified success

Establishing (GWC)2 was initially a defensive play designed to allow Guelph and Waterloo to keep their unrestricted graduate programs In the early 1970s the Council of Ontario Universities established the Advisory Committee on Academic Planshyning (ACAP) to carry out assessments of all the graduate programs in the province with the long-range goal of rationalizing gradushyate programs Chemistry was among the first disciplines to be assessed

The chemistry assessment resulted in an unrestricted stamp of approval to only three universities Guelph and Waterloo were among the seven universities with reshystrictions or limitations placed on the gradushyate programs Professor Pete McBryde chairman of Chemistry at Waterloo at the time said that he and many others felt the decision had already been made before the actual assessment started

Professor Allan Colter who was chairshyman of Chemistry at Guelph said that he and Professor McBryde noticed that the two departments had complementary strengths They came up with the idea of collaborating for they saw this as the only way to obtain unrestricted approval for the graduate proshygrams from the appraisal s committee

Reluctant Bride and Groom

After much discussion at the departshymental level faculty expressed their willshyingness to go along with a joint effort but even at that the collaboration was a gamble Professor McBryde says that an unshyrestricted approval was by no means a sure thing Getting both universities to bend their established ways of dealing with graduate students - to sacrifice some of their autonshyomy - was difficult

Initially the collaboration was like an Indian marriage quips Professor McBryde in that the bride and groom didnt know each other The first two direcshytors made a concentrated effort through seminars meetings and parties to get us into bed together He admits that the colshy

laboration started out as a lifesaver but we hadnt been at it very long before we saw the enormous benefits of collaboration

Impressive Results The Centre s record speaks for itse lf

asserts Professor Robert LeRoy the current director When the Centre was established graduate enrolment at the two departments was 64 (15 at Guelph) Today full time gradshyuate enrolment is 113 (48 at Guelph) Faculty numbers have ri sen from 46 to 62 (GWC)2 admitted more new graduate students (37) by far than any other Chemistry graduate program in the province in 1983

In terms of research funding the inshycreases have been even more impressive In 1974 NSERC operating grants to all faculty in the Centre amounted to about $05 milshylion In 1984 NSERC operating grants were nearly $2 million

Major equipment proposals are subshymitted by the Centre We set our priorities for major equipment as a Centre explains Professor LeRoy This year my name is on a proposal for a major piece of equipment to be located at Guelph In major equipment grants the Centre has been successful beyond anyones wildest dreams In 1984 $1 million in equipment grants was awarded to the Centre up from less than $100000 in 1979

The Centre had to work hard to prove it was a collaborative venture in the beginning and the effort to overcome the geographical separation still continues Two vans move people between the campuses on a daily basis for meetings seminars and graduate courses The graduate teaching through the Centre is organized to eliminate duplication and most of the courses are taught at night in weekly three-hour sessions

A co-ordinating committee - the govshyerning body of the Centre - includes represhysentation from both faculties as well as the two department chairmen and the graduate officers All Ph D students have represenshytatives from both campuses on their adshyvi sory committees

Regular departmental se minar series bring together faculty from both institutions Professor Scoles obse rves that while the coshyoperation in graduate teaching has sucshyceeded beyond his expectations he is disapshypointed that there is not more resea rch collaboration among the faculty But you know there is not much co-operation beshytween chemists and physicists who share the

18th Century Conference The Canadian Society for Eighteenth-Censhytury Studies is holding a conference in Guelph from October 17 to 20 1985 A planning committee has been active for well over a year putting together a program that represents a significant enrichment for the life of the College of Arts We have tried to arrange things so that every department of the College can benefit from the meeting We are also seeking to encourage the intershyest and participation of undergraduate and graduate students

We have in v ited fi ve internat ional scholars to the University conference

Robert Darnton Princeton University who is a leading social historian of the French Enlightenment

Howard Erskine-Hill Cambridge Unishyversity who has published widely on litershyature and politics in eighteenth century England

Gaynor Jones Professor of Music at the University of Toronto who is active as a speaker on musical subjects

James Leith Professor of History at Queens University who is a recognized ex pert on art as propaganda

Roland Mortier Free University of Brussels who is an acknowledged authority on the European Enlightenment

We hope to bring together at least three of

our speakers in a symposium on Roads to Revolution We intend them to be plenary speakers at the conference and of course the University community will be invited to hear them

Already we have organized sessions on the history of science on theatre in Quebec the French revolution the Scottish Enlightenment leisure in the colonies and on censorship As well there will be sessions in mus ic German literature fine art English literature and European history

We would like departments to plan where possible to increase the eighteenthshycentury content in their courses and we will make available details of the conference proshygram to faculty and stodents to permit studshyies to be integrated into conference activities and to encourage both students and faculty to attend the sessions that interest them

Departments are welcome to encourshyage conference participants to arrive early in order to meet with classes Certainly the conference will provide myriad opporshytunities for benefit from the enrichment afforded by this meeting of so many eighshyteenth-century scholars

To extend general interest in the eighshyteenth-century the conference will feature a film fes tival for five weeks preceding the conference the presentation of an eighshyteenth-century play by Professor Leonard Conolly chairman Department of Drama and an exhibit of a collection of an from the Wine Museum of San Francisco The official opening is scheduled for October 18 at the Macdonald Stewart Art Centre 0

Women need not fear that their ph ysshyica l strength would be insufficient The idea of the necessity of great physical strength grew out of the crude methods of surgery employed before ve ter inary science wa s developed Even Hercu les could not have operated upon an elephant - (laughter) - but modern science and an aesthetics enabled the surgica l treatment of elephants and still more dangerous animals

Women however might generally leave the larger an imals to men and devote themselves chiefly to the care of dogs ca ts and birds though there was no reason why the woman veteri nary surgeon should not deal with kine as we ll as the milkmaid

This country was the cradle of hygiene and wi th the advance of inspection of meat and milk many posts wou ld be open to women They would find dogs most grateful patients

In research women cou ld be very useful Lord Kitchener s Arm y was ShOl1 of veter inary surgeons and there were none to spare to work the Pure Milk Bill which would come into operation in October

He hoped th at the degrees of the Royal Co llege of Veteri nary Surgeons wou ld be opened to women and that other centres of training might be founded
