COUNCIL

Constitution At a Special Meeting of Council in January 1975, detailed consideration was given to the final report of the Special Working Party, set up by Council in 1973, to investigate and compare alternate forms of incorporation.

It was resolved to seek revocation of the licence under Section 24 of the Companies Act, to set up two divisions of the Company, Swinburne College of Technology and Swinburne Technical College, and to seek alterations to the Articles of Association to allow wider representation on Council .

Special resolutions giving effect to the above alterations were put to and passed by an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company on 14th April, 1975.

A copy of the revised portion of the Articles of Association is given in Appendix 1.

ACADEMIC

The Academic Board of Swinburne College of Technology and the Board of Studies of Swinburne Technical College have continued to be active in course developments and other areas of academic interest. Details of the memberships of these Boards are given in Appendix 3.

Details of developments which have taken place in 1975 are given under various faculty and divisional headings.

Faculty of Applied Science Early in 1975, the Faculty planned the introduction of a co-operative course of three and a half-years' duration, including two semesters in industry, to replace the existing full-time course leading to the Degree of Bachelor of Applied Science. This change will be introduc­ed at second-year level in 1976. The Faculty believes that the integrated course of acade­mic and work experience offered through co-operative education will produce graduates with skills not obtainable through full-time study and of considerable attraction to em­ployers. This view is strengthened by the College's extensive experience of co-operative education in many of its engineering courses.

Approval was also received during the year for the addition of a major study in Biophysics to those offered in the course for the Bachelor of Applied Science. The various major studies now available are - double major in Applied Chemistry (including an option in Biochemistry), and single majors in Chemistry, Biophysics, Computer Science, Instru­mental Science and Mathematics.

The proposal for a Diploma in Applied Science in Environmental Health, developed dur­ing 1974, was approved by the Victoria Institute of Colleges and the Commission on Ad­vanced Education as either a three and a half-year co-operative course or as a part-time course. It also received approval from the Royal Society of Health Examiners, which had been active in its preparation. The first enrolments for the new diploma will be accepted in 1976. The active participation of various bodies in the preparation of the proposal has been formalised by the establishment of an Advisory Committee on Environmental Health, under the chairmanship of Dr B. Middleton of the Environment Protection Authority.

Faculty of Art Enrolments in both Graphic Design and Film and Television courses continue to be limited by the accommodation available.

This year, use has be~ made of an old wooden building to provide more accommodation for Graphic Design students and this has resulted in an increased intake at the first-year level. The erection of a new building was planned for mid-1976 but Government economic restrictions have caused the deferment of the project. This will reduce the number of first­year places to be offered in 1976 since the flow-on in 1977-78 must now be related to existing accommodation.

A Graduate Diploma in Applied Film and Television was approved by the Victoria Institute of Colleges and the Commission on Advanced Education to commence in 1976.

Work commenced on converting the television studio to colour and this will be completed in time for the 1976 academic year.

Short courses in Basic Television Production were again offered for people in industry working in advertising, in public relations, etc. Two courses were offered, one day a week, in each semester. Again, there was a strong demand for these courses.

Faculty of Arts A high level of demand for Arts courses continued during 1975. The previously-noted interest in part-time courses was again evident.

Early in the year the Faculty was re-located in the new Business and Arts Building. This physical change, together with the re-organisation into five departments involving much staff and student participation in policy-making and management has required a great deal ,of effort. As a result, a high level of involvement has been achieved within the Faculty.

Approval for new courses was given by the Victoria Institute of Colleges as follows:

(a) Majors within the BA course - Italian, Japanese, Asian Studies, Media Studies, Economics

(b) Graduate Diploma in Urban Sociology

(c) Graduate Diploma in Applied Social Psychology.

Funds will not be available in 1976 for the two graduate diplomas, but ten major studies are now available within the BA degree.

The Department of Liberal Studies developed its courses further, making a special feature of collaborative inter-disciplinary teaching with later follow-up of special interests. Initial moves were made towards the development, on similar principles, and in collaboration with other faculties, of a graduate diploma.

An interesting and useful experiment in educat_ion, funded by the Department of Abori­ginal Affairs, took place in 1975. A group of Aboriginal students ranging in age from 17 to 40 years was admitted to the Faculty for a 12 months' course called 'Community Or­ganisation'. The three elements of the course were exploratory academic studies, field work in various organisations, and studies in community organisation. The students invol­ved have achieved a remarkable increase, both in confidence and a positive acceptance of their identity as Aborigines. Several will continue with tertiary education in 1976.

The Department of Languages continued during 1975 to develop its associations within Italy and Japan with a view to furthering students' language experience within the country of the language's origin. Planning for an Associate Diploma in language studies was begun. Such a diploma is already included in the Victoria Institute of Colleges' plans for the near future.

The Department of Humanities has taken positive steps towards the integration of studies, where appropriate, between the subjects it offers. Common interests between Media Studies and Literature have been explored, with the emergence of a.subject which may be included in either major. Further development of the relationship between Philosophy and History and Philosophy of Science has continued.

The Department of Psychology has developed further its interest in Social Psychology.

Having achieved the approval of a Graduate Diploma in Urban Sociology, the Department of Social and Political Studies is considering the proper relationship between the various subjects it offers. It has also made a substantial contribution to the in-service briefing programs of the Centre for Urban Studies, which have been funded by the Interim Com­mittee for the Children's Commission and the Social Welfare Commission.

Faculty of Business The Graduate Diploma in Business (Administration) was successfully introduced in Feb­ruary 1975. Given the interest taken in the course by the business world and the public sector, it is quite apparent that this programme is filling the need which the Business Faculty and the Course Advisory Board anticipated.

The success of a course of this nature depends to a large extent on student involvement and participation and this aspect was well developed by the staff concerned during the year. The resulting 'esprit de corps' among the students was quite pronounced.

Furthermore, the need for subject integration by the staff, which is an essential part of any management programme has led to a truly interdisciplinary approach.

Candidates are selected by a fairly rigorous interview programme. At present, 75 people of highly varied academic backgrounds and practical experience are enrolled and the course will move into its second and final year in 1976.

Resulting from discussions with the Victorian Commercial Teachers' Association and with a group of high school accounting teachers, the Department of Accounting at Swinburne College of Technology initiated an accounting education programme for HSC students.

A series of lectures and seminars were designed to develop topics already introduced to students as part of the Higher School Certificate syllabus. The emphasis of the programme was on current company accounting practices as well as the theoretical issues associated with contemporary accounting.

The high school accounting teachers involved in the development of the programme sug­gested that it would assist their own endeavours in stimulating students' interests in account· ing as well as broadening the accounting knowledge of students as required by the aims and objectives of the Higher School Certificate syllabus.

Two hundred and two students representing 21 schools attended.

Swinburne was joint host to the Accounting Association of Australia and New Zealand in August 1975. This is the national association of university and CAE teachers of account­ing. Mr M. Hunter and Mr B. McDonald from Swinburne were elected president and secretary respectively of the Association for 1975-76.

The Faculty continued its active programme of developing and conducting short courses for people in industry and commerce during 1975. The largest effort was again the one week Residential School in Financial Management conducted in July 1975 at Thornton. This was attended by 25 senior executives and the success of the course has ensured its place as an annual event.

Faculty of Engineering The course for the Degree of Electrical Engineering which had been offered on a full-time basis was remodelled on the co-operative format, for introduction, with the permission of the College Council and the Victoria Institute of Colleges at the third year level in 1976. There are early indications of strong support from both employers and students for this change to an integrated programme of study and work experience.

Following approval of the course for the Graduate Diploma in Urban Systems in 1974, there were large scale enrolments for the first year in 1975 with almost double the number of initial students originally expected. Meanwhile, work on the development of other Graduate Diploma courses proceeded, with particular attention to the development of a proposal for a Graduate Diploma in Environmental Systems, which had already been master-planned by the Victoria Institute of Colleges.

To provide maximum participation for academic staff in the operation of the Faculty, a number of Co-ordinating Committees reporting to the Faculty Board, were set up. These Co-ordinating Committees span the traditional professional areas of engineering so as to provide co-ordination in fields of interest to a number of professional groups. In this way, the Faculty now operates on a grid structure with the professional departments operating as budgetary and student areas and the inter-disciplinary subject areas being handled by the Co-ordinating Committees across a range of departments. The Faculty a lso maintained its involvement with the Institution of Engineers, Australia, by means of the Swinburne Campus Chapter of the Institution, supported by individual members of the Faculty of Engineering and co-operating with the Faculty as a whole.

Postgraduate work continued to receive support from the Australian Engineering and Building Research Association Limited, the Australian Water Research Council and in­dividual companies. New projects towards the Degree of Master of Engineering were approved in the following fields:

'Drainage Characteristics of the Gardiner's Creek Catchment'

'Design and Implementation of a Computer-Assisted Production Planning and Control System'

'Field Study of the Performance of Slab-on-Ground'

The Faculty is extremely grateful to the George Alexander Trust for a grant to purchase control equipment for the closed-loop testing machine jointly purchased by the depart­ments of Production and Civil Engineering and Materials Technology.

There has been active work on the preparation of a proposal for an Associate Diploma in Engineering with a view to its introduction in 1977. To assist in this planning, a special Associate Diploma Advisory Committee involving people from industry has been set up.

In June, the College was represented by Mr R.S. Dav[e, Assistant Director, at the World Congress, 'Engineering Education for World Development' , held in Colorado, U.S.A. The Congress was attended by 196 invited delegates from some 33 countries. Mr Davie also attended the Annual Conference of the American Society for Engineering Education which received reports from the preceding Congress. The Conference was attended by some 3000 engineering educators.

SWINBURNE TECHNICAL COLLEGE

Mr H.J. Major, Principal of the Swinburne Technical College, retired during the year. Mr A.P. Stark was appointed Principal as from 13th October, 1975.

Apprentice and Trade Technician classes continued with satisfactory enrolments and Certificate of Technology courses continued to attract higher enrolments.

During the year the Building Construction Departmental Advisory Committee held dis­cussions on the proposed UG3 Associate Diploma Course in Building. Towards the end of the year a seminar was organised to which a wide range of senior members of the building industry were invited and a useful discussion took place on the desirability and type of course to be mounted.

The Building Construction Department occupied its new premises in George Street early in the year and, after initial teething troubles, the premises proved eminently satisfactory.

Towards the end of the year, approval was obtained from the Education Department to offer two new courses in 1976, the Plumbing Technician (Sanitary) course, and a full-time course for the Certificate of Business Studies. In addition, it is proposed to offer further options in the Preliminary Year, Economics, Media Studies, and, possibly, Biology.

. .

COMPUTER

The computer centre provided computing services to the College with four machines; digital computing facilities on the ICL 4-50 and the remote job entry terminal connection to the ICL 1904A at Caulfield Institute of Technology, interactive facilities on the PDP-11 mini computer, and hybrid computing facilities on the Pacer 500.

The College expects that, as it is a temporary machine, the ICL 4-50 will be replaced in the forthcoming triennium by a new major digital installation.

LIBRARY

The year was one of significant progress in the development of the library. Continued support from Government grants and an increased proportional allocation of recurrent funds has enabled the achievement of a high rate of input of books, periodicals and audio-visual material.

The total number of volumes added to the library during 1975 was 20,340, which brings the total holding to approximately 111,000 volumes.

Acquisitions included:

Monographs Pamphlets Bound periodicals Reels of microfilm Microfiche Other non-book material

19,727 613

2,507 232 301 758

New appointments made early in 1975 brought the staff to a total of 48.

SCI ENCE EDUCATION CENTRE

The Science Education Centre was set up in 1974 with the following objectives:

1 To provide a centre where secondary science and mathematics teachers could obtain information not readily available in schools

2 To provide opportunities for staff and students to see and use equipment not read• ily available in schools

3 To assist with the provision of material and facilities for the improvement of the motivation of students to follow scientific studies at school

4 To organise seminars, discussion groups, and update courses.

During 1975, a room in the Applied Science Building was set up and suitably furnished to be available for meetings, small seminars, displays, and as a co-ordination area for second· ary science teachers. The appointment of a part-time receptionist/typist who will com­mence duties in February 1976 means that teachers in the eastern region have a contact, particularly after daily teaching duties have ceased.

Mr Ken Mappen, Science Co-ordinator at Scotch College and President of the Science Teachers' Association, gave an opening address on 28th November, 1975 for the first time in the new accommodation. He commended Swinburne as being the first tertiary institu­tion in Victoria to open up their facilities to encourage learning in the sciences. He also stressed the point that a venture of this kind required considerable patience in the initial stages to overcome the conservative nature of teachers as a whole.

The following short courses were offered during the year with the co-operation of various departments:

1 'Linear Programming' held in conjunction with the Mathematics Department for teachers of HSC General Mathematics ., Speakers: B. Phillips, S. Clarke, J. Iacono, and J; Pidgeon, all of the Mathematics

Department, Swinburne College of Technology 18th June 1975

5. 'Electronic Course for Secondary Teachers' held in conjunction with the Electrical Engineering Department Speakers: G. Ross, J. Hyne, I. Chapman and A. Gascoigne, all of Swinburne

College of Technology 8th and 9th December, 1975

Secondary students, particularly fifth and sixth formers, have visited Swinburne to see and operate, under supervision, sophisticated apparatus, whilst Templestowe Technical School made use of our laboratory facilities for one afternoon each week over a period, as they did not have adequate laboratory facilities for the teaching of fifth form science.

The Travelling Science and Technology Show was taken to 32 schools and a further three schools were brought to Swinburne to participate in the Show. Fourteen schools still remain on the current waiting list.

The interest generated by the Science Education Centre and Travelling Science Show has been indicated by the many letters received from the schools already participating in these areas of the College's activities.

CENTRE FOR URBAN STUDIES

The Centre for Urban Studies was established in 1973 with the following aims:

1 The promotion and co-ordination of courses in urban studies which involve inter­action between the various departments of the College

2 The mounting of seminars, extension lectures, and other community education programmes

3 The dissemination of information to the community about urban problems and their solution

4 The development of a programme of research into problems of the urban environment.

The Centre plans its programme through a committee representing the Faculties of Business, Arts and Engineering. In 1975 the Centre made progress towards achieving its objectives in the areas of information dissemination and inter-active course development; maintained a strong lecture and seminar programme and initiated several major in-service briefing pr091 ammes for community development officers and child-care catalysts.

Course Co-ordination The committee meetings provided a venue for the co-ordination of teaching in the Urban Sociology and Urban Economics units in the Postgraduate Diploma in Urban Systems run by the Civil Engineering Department.

A summary of the activities of the Centre for Urb<!n Studies in 1975 follows.

Lectures and Seminars In 1975, the highly successful lecture and seminar programme established in 1974 con­tinued as follows:

Information Dissemination A pilot postal distribution of papers presented at the Centre's functions has been very successful, and will be repeated in 1976. There is a strong demand amongst local govern­ment officials and community groups for these papers, and stocks will again be offered on a 'for sale' basis in 1976.

Other Work in the Community During the current financial year (1975-1976) the Centre has received grants of $31,000 for the purposes of mounting inservice briefing programmes for community development officers and child care catalysts for the Northern and Western Regional Councils for Social Development and for the Interim Committee for the Children's Commission. In addition to the briefing programmes, the Centre's responsibilities have included a pro­gramme of evaluative research for the Children's Commission.

The briefing programme for the Regional Councils has been carried out through a series of workshops which have been open to both community development officers and interested community representatives.

Topics for workshops have included alternative strategies of community organisation, communication skills and policy analysis for areas such as housing, immigration and con­sumer rights.

The programme for the Interim Committee of the Children's Commission has involved more extended seminars covering the context of the catalyst programmes, government child-care policy, methods of establishing child-care programmes, and analysis of the needs of activist groups in the community.

FINANCE

The 1975 deficit on recurrent funds resulted from Council's earlier decision to allocate the triennial funds to provide surpluses in 1973 and 1974. These progressive surpluses offset the budgeted deficit in 1975.

The continued escalation of costs during 1975 has again been a source of concern. The provision of cost escalation funds for the tertiary operation of the College went a long way to alleviating the problem in this area, although the funds provided fell short of the actual increase in costs. However, no such cost escalation funds, apart from supplement­ary funds for increases in academic salaries, were available for non-tertiary operations and this has caused considerable problems.

During the year the Australian Government suspended the triennial funding arrangements for colleges and universities for one year. This means that 1976 will be treated as an ex­tension of the 1973/75 triennium. The funds to be provided for 1976 in the recurrent area were to maintain an 'as you were' situation with no new initiatives to be taken in 1976 unless specifically approved by the Commission on Advanced Education. However, the funds provided did not take cognisance of normal increases in costs, in 1976, of running 1975 programmes. These normal increases, e.g. normal increments in salaries for staff both academic and non-academic, do not form part of cost escalation. This will mean some contraction in services for 1976.

The Report of Council and Financial Statements for year ended 31st December 1975, are set out on pages 27 to 36.

Expenditure during 1975 is shown diagrammatically in Figure 1.

BUILDINGS AND PROPERTY

Zoning of Land The College has been informed during the year that objections to the re-zoning of land adjacent to the College (Amendments Nos. 34 and 35) have been disallowed and that the land has been re-zoned 'educational'.

Campus Plan The provisional Campus Plan based on discussions between the College Council and the City of Hawthorn has been approved by the Victoria Institute of Colleges and the Commission on Advanced Education.

Business and Arts Building Work on this building continued to be delayed but occupancy was achieved in time for the beginning of the 1975 academic year. In spite of some teething troubles the building has worked well and provided the facilities needed by the Faculties of Business and Arts.

Applied Science Building Documentation for this building continued during the early part of 1975 with the aim of commencing construction in the second half of the year. In the event this was not possible because of the moratorium placed on new building projects by the Australian Govern­ment. Whether the building will be able to commence late in 1976 depends upon the level of funding approved for capital projects in the triennium 1977 /79.

Properties Properties in the College development area acquired during the year were:

13 John Street, Hawthorn 26 Wakefield Street, Hawthorn 36 Wakefield Street, Hawthorn 32 William Street, Hawthorn 34 William Street, Hawthorn

42 William Street, Hawthorn 30 Park Street, Hawthorn 36 Park Street, Hawthorn 60 Park Street, Hawthorn

Business and Arts Building Work commences in Morch 7973 - and nears completion in February 7975

STAFFING

During the year there were 14 resignations and 33 appointments to the academic staff, seven resignations and 11 appointments among librarians, and 26 resignations and 55 appointments amongst administrative, technical and maintenance staff.

At the 31st December, 1975, the staffing establishment for Swinburne College of Tech­nology consisted of 312 academic staff, 110 administrative and clerical, 47 library, 14 computer, 61 technical, and 25 maintenance. For Swinburne Technical College the com­parable figures were 102 academic staff, 20 administrative, 9 library, 32 technical and maintenance. Not all positions could be filled because of shortage of finance. This was particularly true in the case of teaching staff in the Technical College. Figure 2 shows the distribution of filled positions as at the 31st December, 1975 for the College as a whole.

During the year maternity leave was granted to seven member~ of staff.

No applications for permission to engage in paid outside work, other than through SAR DD were received.

The Staff Development Leave scheme continued to operate smoothly in 1975. Eighteen members of staff were absent on Staff Development Leave during some part of 1975 and 22 will be on leave during some part of 1976.

The College continued to support the attendance of staff at conferences and seminars re­lated to their teaching or administrative function. In 1975, $13,530 was expended for this purpose; this compares with an expenditure of $10,021 in 1974. Details of attendances at conferences and seminars are given in Appendix 6.

EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY

The Educational Technology Unit consisted in 1975 of the Education Officer (Education­al Technology), his secretary and a typist employed for about nine months with funds from the VIC college-based projects scheme.

The work of the Unit was directed towards improving the teaching and learning occurring in the College in four ways: innovation projects; seminars and workshops; personal assistance to individual staff members; dissemination of information .

An important outcome during 1975 of two of the projects (chemistry and physics) was the acquisition of six carnls, four equipped with video-cassette equipment. These are moveable and have been placed initially in a room in the Chemistry building. They will enable the investigation of the inclusion of non-print resources as an integral part of the self-paced learning programmes.

Four seminars were conducted by the unit in 1975:

Changing Patterns of Learning and Assessment, which considered the different assessment methods required by different learning systems and the problems of their co-existence

Audio-visual Seminar and Workshop, which was designed to assist staff in the selection and use of audio-visual equipment available at Swinburne, and in the selection of appropriate software

Educational Video-tape Seminar, which included a report based on the findings of one of our projects and a presentation of high quality educational tapes from the U.S.A.

Accounting Learning Systems, which was a presentation by Mr D. Mahoney, the author of a learning system developed at Caulfield Institute of Technology, under the college-based projects scheme. ·

The VIC college-based projects scheme was intended to operate only during the 1973/75 triennium and so no new funds for innovation projects have been available since mid-1975. Of the 13 Swinburne projects, most have expended virtually all funds allocated to them, and the remaining funds will be used during the first semester,1976.

Since it appears that there will be no funds available from other sources, no new projects will be commenced during 1976, which is unfortunate as this 'mini-fellowship' approach has proved to be very effective.

The 13 projects are: Systems Approac~ to Learning Mathematics Self-paced Learning for Organic Chemistry Keller Plan Course in Physics A system of Personalised Learning Applied to Engineering Students An Integrated Course of Programmed Texts and Audio-visuals for

Materials Technology Course Computer-aided and Computer-monitored Instruction Educational Applications of the Hybrid Computer Rewrite of Computer-monitored Instruction System Interactive Programmed Modular Teaching System for Statistical

Design of Experiments Computer-based Accountancy Project Development of Experiental Approach to Teaching Business Policy Evaluation of Video-taped Computer Courses Selective Monitoring of Radio and Television.

An important aspect of the work of an education unit is to promote discussion of educa­tional practices with a view to improving them. For this reason the Unit took an active part in the discussions on assessment which occurred during 1975. One of the causes of the debate was problems arising from a project, and the Unit organised a seminar on assessment and featured this in Feedback. Four issues of Feedback were produced during 1975 and were published in conjunction with the Swinburne Newsletter.

STUDENTS AND STUDENT SERVICES

Enrolments Details of enrolments of all students in the College are shown in Appendix 7. Overall, there was an increase of 20.'3 per cent in enrolments. Full-time enrolments in degree and diploma areas increased by 112, or 5.9 per cent. Part-time enrolments in the same areas increased by 286, or 12.8 per cent. There was an increase of 338, or 30.0 per cent, in the trade technician area, whilst enrolments in the higher technician area rose by 31, or 5.8 per cent . In addition, the Business Studies Certificate course was resumed by the Technical College with an enrolment of 361. Preliminary year full-time enrolments increased by 156, but part-time enrolments fell by five. Enrolments by faculties and divisions are shown, for 1970-75, in Figures 3 and 4.

The Commonwealth ' Help for Needy Students ' scheme continued to operate during 1975 and during the year 26 loans totalling $10,220 were made.

The VIC Student Loan Fund and the College Student Aid Fund also continued to operate. In addition, Council made available $1,000 to assist preliminary year students in need.

Student Union Finances After discussions with the Student Union and the students' Sports Association, the College Council fixed the fees for 1975 as follows:

Student Union Sports Association

Full-time $19.00 Full-time $ 6.00 Co-operative $14.00 Co-operative $ 4.00 Part-time $ 9.00 Part-time $ 2.00 Part-time (STC) $ 6.50 Part-time (STC) $ 1.50

In addition, Council again agreed that the College would ·accept a charge up to a maximum of $1,000 to assist the Sports Association with meeting the costs of hiring grounds and other venues normally provided on campus.

Medical Services The Medical Centre was transferred from 7 John Street to Level 2 of the new Business and Arts Building at the beginning of the year.

The Centre has continued to have the services of a full-time nursing sister, Sister M. Caines, and the Medical Officer, Dr Jean McLeod, has been in attendance for five three-hour sessions per week. In addition, a part-time nursing sister was engaged in the latter half of the year for three hours daily.

The work of the Centre has continued to grow and a major review of its operations was commenced late in 1975. A report-will be available to Council early in 1976.

College Chaplains The College has continued to have the services of Rev. Harry Kerr as full-time chaplain. In addition to the full -time chaplain, we have been fortunate to have the services of part­time chaplains, Father Ray Deal (first semester), Father Brendan James (second semester) for approximate ly six hours per week and Howard Chubb for the whole year. 20

INDUSTRIAL LIAISON

The dirties of the Industrial Liaison Officer continue to fall into two main categories:

To promote close liaison between the College and industry and commerce

2 To be the Executive Officer of the Swinburne Applied Research and Development Division (SARDO). The function of SARDO is to make available to industry and commerce the expertise and specialised equipment of the College and, in doing so, again promote a closer link between the College and industry and commerce.

The liaison function has provided assistance in the following major areas: (a) The suggestion and promotion of short courses and seminars; (b) Co-operative education promotion and assistance with student placements; (c) Jointly with Student Services, participation in over 100 mock interviews; (d) Liaison with a number of professional bodies for the running of joint seminars; (e) Continuing feed-back to teaching staff on the needs of industry; (f) Industry visits by staff and students to approximately 25 firms.

In addition, a SARDO exhibition was held for one week in the library and was well attended. Swinburne also mounted a stand at an Engineering Exhibition held in the Exhibition Building.

SARDO activities continue to grow slowly but steadily and in 1975, for the first time, involved interstate work.

Preliminary contacts have been made through the United Nations, Department of Over­seas Trade, universities and companies in Singapore and the Philippines to explore the opportunities for members of staff to obtain overseas experience and conduct training.

The Swinburne Graphic Design Group has received a second contract from the Depart0

ment of Overseas Trade, this time for design work for a fair in Cairo.

3 The principal activity of the Company during the year was to provide education.

4 The deficit for the year was $520,605, which consisted in part of a deficit of $349,506 in respect of recurrent funds together _with capital purchases from recurrent funds amounting to $258,507. No income tax is payable.

5 In accordance with Memorandum No. 3 of the Memorandum of Association no dividend is payable.

6 An amount of $5,808,104 was transferred to the •Asset Revaluation Reserve as a result of a Councillors' revaluation as at 31st December, 1975. The bases of valuation for the various types of assets were as follows:

Plant and Equipment Fixtures and Fittings Land Buildings

Replacement Value Replacement Value Market Value Replacement Value

These assets are now shown in the balance sheet at Councillors' 1975 Valuation.

'· In respect of Land Valuations, the Titles to certain areas of land which the College uses C:-are not v~sted in the College. The value of these areas of land has been excluded from

ihe fixed assets.

' 7 . The Council took reasonable steps, before the statement of Income and Expenditure

~nd Balance Sheet were made out, to ascertain that all known bad debts were written off and adequa~e provision was made for doubtful debts.

8 At the date of this report, the Council is not aware of any circumstances which could render the amount written off for bad debts, or the amount of the provision for doubtful debts, inadequate to any substantial extent.

9 The Council took reasonable steps, before the Statement of Income and Expenditure and Balance Sheet were made out, to ascertain that the current assets other than debtors were shown in the accounting records of the Company at a value equal to or below the value that would be expected to be realised in the ordinary course of business.

10 At the date of this report the Council is not aware of any circumstances which would render the values attributable to the current assets in the accounts misleading.

11 No charge on the assets of the Company has arisen since the end of the financial year to the date of this report to secure the liabilities of any other person and no contingent liability has arisen since the end of the financial year to the date of this report.

12 No contingent or other liability has become enforceable or is likely to become en­forceable within a period of 12 months after the end of the financial year which, in the opinion of the Council will or may affect the ability of the Company to meet its obligations as and when they fall due.

13 The provision for Long Service Leave as at the 31st December, 1975, amounts to $923,477 and this amount has been charged against Accumulated Funds. Payments for Long Service Leave are charged in the accounts in the period in which the payments are made.

14 At the date of this report the Council is not aware of any circumstances not other­wise dealt with in the report or accounts which would render any amount stated in the accounts misleading.

15 In the opinion of Council the Results of the Company's operations during the finan­cial year were not substantially affected by any item, transaction, or event of a material and unusual nature, with the exception that, for the first time, a provision has been made for Long Service Leave and the value of the land not owned by the College has been excluded from the Fixed Assets.

16 In the opinion of Council there has not arisen in the interval between the end of the financial year and the date of the report, any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature likely to affect substantially the results of the Company's oper­ations for the next succeeding financial year.

17 Since the end of the previous financial year no Councillor of the Company has re­ceived or become entitled to receive a benefit not disclosed in the Accounts, by reason of a contract made by the Company or a related Corporation with a Coun­cillor or with a firm of which he is a member or with a company in which he has a substantial financial interest.

NOTES FORMING PART OF THE 1975 ACCOUNTS

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Normal accounting principles are followed with these exceptions:

(a) The College does not charge depreciation on assets. It has been the practice for funding authorities to provide funds for all new assets required by the College, and this practice is expected to continue. A revaluation of assets is made each year.

I refer to Note 3 of the Company's Accounts which states that Councillors' valuation of the Plant and Equipment, Fixtures and Fittings, and Buildings held by the Company as at 31st December 1975 was assessed on a replacement basis.

THE LIBRARY COLLECTION Appendix 5

Acquisitions

The rate of acquisition of book, non-book library materials, and backfile periodicals accelerated in 1975 owing to the overall increase in allocations to the library and the injection of additional recurrent funds in the latter half of the year.

The total number of items added to the library during the year was 24,138 bringing the total holdings to approximately 111,000 volumes. A summary of our accessions for the year is given in the tables below:

Cataloguing

The year 1975 brought another innovation in the library's catalogue production. The first COM (Computer Output Microform) catalogue was distributed to all teaching departments within the College in May. An updated edition was produced and distributed in August/ September, and the third edition is due in February 1976.

The format is microfiche at a reduction ratio of 42: 1. Each fiche holds 208 frames (one of which is an index frame) and a total of approximately 2,500 entries.

This is a very economical method of catalogue production, limited only by the necessity to install microfiche readers and by its physical characteristics which make it vulnerable to damage, loss and misfiling . It is interesting to note that 30 per cent of the total requests for the 1975 Swinburne library catalogue from other institutions were, in fact, for the micro­fiche version.

The fourth edition of the book catalogue was produced by photocomposition as in pre­vious years, and arrived just in time for the beginning of the Eighteenth Biennial Conference of the Library Association of Australia, in August 1975. There is a slight change in style noticeable, due to the fact that a new photocomposition service was used this year. It enabled us to reduce the inevitable increase in production costs to a minimum, through achieving an average of 91 entries per page, compared with 86-87 entries per page in previous editions . This meant an overall increase of 430 pages, that is 33 per cent, accommodating a 40 per cent increase in the number of entries (159,095).

Copies of the 1975 book catalogue were requested by 20 other institutions in Victoria and interstate and their comments on the product have been very favourable indeed. Even the superseded copies of last year's catalogue have been in very heavy demand, particularly from other institutions who visited the library during 1975.

Considerable interest in the Swinburne library catalogue system was shown by a number of librarians from other institutions who visited the library during 1975.
