ALUMNUS On the cover U of G students often say it was the beautifully treed campus that made the difference in choosing Guelph All but one that is In the late 1920s one veterinary student from Saikatchewan dropped out after the first semester because there were too many trees This photo by TP Sullivan was taken for a University liaison publication to show prospective students just what we mean when we talk about Guelphs idyllic landscape
Seeing the forest through the trees

The May 1990 issue contains an article on the NIMBY (not in my backyard) syndrome with specific reference to landfilJs Getting the public involved in the siting and operation of a landfill is an imporshytant step in preventing NIMBY
But one major factor that is often overlooked in deflecting NIMBY is the post-closure phase of the landfill What will the 1lI1dfill be when it is finished
We in the land reclamation field are proud of the things we can do for the public in reclaiming disshyturbed areas With proper planning and a little help from our friends in the landscape architecture field we can turn landfills into valuable urban parks or golf courses
Its surprising how quickly NIMBY-types who are very vocal during the planning and operation of a landfill change their tune when the landfill becomes a golf course and people are lining up to buy adshyjacent houses
The Canadian Land Reclamation Association (CLRA) which had its origins in Guelph more than 15 years ago represents more than 250 people across Canada who are comshymitted to making resource extracshytion and other land uses compatible with protection and wise use of our environment
Since being elected presishydent of the UGAA I ve looked back over my shoulder and asked How did I get here
It was just four years ago that I attended my first alumni association meetingas a faculty liaison pershyson for the CBS alumni association Now I teach in the Department of Animal and Poultry Science
Over the next rwo years Ill be working with other alumni on the UGAA executive and the planning committee to ensure the
Letters to the editor Before people scream NIMBY
we urge them to look beyond the hole-in-the-ground to what may rise in its place

I enjoy reading the GuelphAlumshynus hut when I received the May issue 1was quite disappointed to realize that it is printed on nonshyrecyclable paper
In line with the Un iversityS efforts towards fine paper recycling and the magazines emphasis on environmental issues r think it would be app ropriate to use recyclable or recycled paper
Many magazines continue to have a glossy cover but use different paper for the bulk of the publicashytion You would probably ease many alumni consciences by altershying your format
Dale Smith OVC 80 Department of Pathology
I am very glad to see that U of G is including timely environmental isshysues in their courses research and alumni articles
Please take the environmental issues to heart now and print the alumni magazine on paper that can be recycled If it is practical it would even be better to print on paper that has already been recycled
Thank you and keep up the good work
Georgina de Lagran CSS 75
Surrey RC
Editors note These readers agree with members of the Guelph Alumnus advisory board who have also recommended that the publicashytion be printed on recycled paper stock We plan to make the switch in our next printing contract We noted with interes~ that Georgina de Lagran s letter came to us in a used envelope with the old address covered by a label - a practice we encourage other readers to follow On a similar environmental theme we also received a letter from Hugh Elliott OAC 23 of Paris Ont recommending two recent magazine articles - The Pacific Forest by Catharine Carfield in the May 14 issue of The New Yorker and a critique of that article by Alan Fotheringham in the May 28 issue of Macleans
A message from UGAA presidentJim Atkinson association will remain a strong link beshyrween alumni and the University
Its clear that the association must redefine its role and then communicate that role to its members Many oftodays graduates are earning degrees in programs that cross college boundaries 1l1eir alumni affiliashytion to the University may not fit into the traditionai college associations The Gryphon Club and the HAFA and enshygineering alumni associations are evidence that the UGAA umbrella must he large enough to accommodate a diversity of alumni interests and affiliations
We need to develop a strong voice in University affairs increase our service role and look for new ways ofnurturing alumni
relationships during the early years of fami Iy growth and career development
OvC has led the way with its continuing education programs but there is a lot of potential for the UGAA and the other asshysociations ro address the postgraduation learning needs of alumni [n addition the development of undergraduate student alumni involvement is an important initiashytive
Its an exciting time to be part ofthe alumshyni nerwork as we try ro build a model flexible enough to meet the challenges facing alumni associations - not tomorshyrow but 15 years down the road

mentally _driven says ~rof Andrew Gordon of Guelphs agroforestry program -
Agroforestry addresses many of the problems facing -agriculshyture on this continent - soil erosion maintenance ofmarginalshylands degraded streams and loss of wildlife habitat It can also provide a profitable way to diversify farming operations
Maple syrup production is an agroforestry appliciltion but Gordon suggests that intercropping corn grain and hay crops
-with valuable hardwoods such as black walnut and red oak also has greatpotentiaL Last year Ontario imported more than S93 million worth of these woods from the_ United States as lumber logs and veneer - shy- Inaddition to intercropping agroforestry also -includes the
planting oftrees in areas used to pasture livestock as sheHerbeIts
within the expanse of acash crop and windbreaks on boundary lines Tree plantations can also be used to reclaim marginal lands but may make their greatest contribution in the stewardship of water says Gordon
Stream-side forests have been shown to make dramatic improveshyments in the water quality of degraded agricultural waterways The trees benefit from leached-nutrients that would have run into the stream and their root systems reduce soil erOSionThey also_ rehabilitate the stream fOffish populations by lowering water temperatures and providshying organic _matter (leaves) an important food source for stream inshyvertebrates which in turn
-serve as fo()d for fish
- The reforestation of land along waterways might also compensate into the next century for losses of woodland due to urban growth says Gordon
Pho tos by Andrew Gordon
To do this researchers across Canada are using biotechnology tools to clone the juvenile freeshygrowth traits of superior trees Conshyifers behave somewhat like children says Ho Whereas mature trees grow a prescribed amount each season juvenile trees grow several times a season much like children who have sudden spurts of growth
In conventional breeding programs only half the desirable genes are transferred to the progeny and it takes almost 40 years before a stand of trees can be evaluated Ho is cloning the desired characteristics by rejuvenating a tisshysue culture from a superior tree
providing superior cloned stock for reforestation projects
Last fall the laboratory initiated a project on somatic embryogenesis that is a first step in the production of artificial seed Many scientists across Canada are working on similar projects to clone superior genotypes from zygotic embryos that are removed from dissected seeds To date embryogenic calli have been regenerated and early somatic embryos have been developed on the calli in black and white spruce The next step is to esshytablish plantlets that bear both a shoot and root eliminating the rejuvenation step
If successful this process will render rejuvenation technology obshysolete says Ho Its value will lie in the ability to produce multiple seedshylings from one superior embryo
But researchers still have a long way to go he says One of the unshyanswered questions is why only a few of the zygotic embryos cultured will produce embryonic calli Ho believes the answer lies in genetics
Scientists still understand very little about the genetics of trees Genetic studies in tree species are probably 50 years behind our knowledge of crop species which are another 50 years behind scienshytific understanding of human
genetics Urban forest - Within most The technique has been successful

several hundred landowners But imagine the contribution an urban forest would make to imshyproving the environment of the city
Plant succession - U of G landscape architect professor Victor Chanasyk and botanist David Smith believe an understanding of plant dynamics is essential for those inshyvolved in land-use planning and the management of natural areas
Theyve developed a course describing the natural succession of plant life which is usually triggered by an ecological disturbance of some kind It may be catastrophic as with wildfire in Northern OntarioS boreal forest or less severe such as the gap formation caused by windfall of trees in more southerly deciduous forests
Sustainable environment shyLast year the University formed an Institute for Environmental Policy and Stewardship (IEPS) of which Arboretum director Keith Ronald
((We mustreduce the speed in which weare accelerating our evolution to extinction
later assumed directorship TIle inshystitute is committed to achieving a sustainable environment and has tarshygeted forested lands as its first priority largely because of the knowledge and research expertise in the natural and social sciences that already exists on campus It welcomes involvement by alumni and others interested in global enshyvironmental issues
Situated at The Arboretum the institute offers decision makers a neutral site and an objective viewshypoint for discussion It is also comshypiling a database of global concerns and efforts in the management of forested lands offering the opporshytunity for both economic and ecological analysis says Ronald
The Arboretum recently hosted a conference on the greening of southern Ontario IEPS offers a disshy
tance education course TIle 5000 Days that addresses a broad range of environmental concerns and has produced a discussion paper
on the management of forested lands It has also submitted a formal response to the federal governments The Green Plan - A Framework for Discussion on the Environment
While applauding the governments attempt to put the enshyvironment at the forefront of the public agenda the IEPS response says The Green Plan still places growth and development ahead of environmental preservation The catch phrase sustainable developshyment doesnt go far enough says lEPS We must reduce the speed in which we are accelerating our evolution to extinction The messhysage is a sustainable environment and our success in achieving this obshyjective will be directly proportional to our ability to get the message across
Alumni comments TIle current interest in- rcgreening southern Ontario is
-wekomeq by Peter Uhlig CBS 81 and MSc 84 A forest ccoJogist with MNR to Sault Ste Marie Uhlig says Ontarios northern environOlemsare highly resilient incoOlparison with the forests that used to exist in southern Ontario
Efforts (0 save northern timber have wide public appeal says Uhlig but hed like to see more emphasis on reforestation in unused agricultural and urban land areas in the south It would have an imm~diate and profound impact on the environment in terms of water qllality wildlife habitat erosion and cooling
The problem of prematureharvesting is being addressed by 3uchanan Prooucts inc of Thunder Bay ont a producer of construction lumber Owned by Kenneth Buchanan OAC 56 the company has initiated a program to thin mature stands of jack pine The oldest trees will be harvested individually leaving the younger stockfor another five years The program will maxishyJuize the economic value and ultimately reduce the number of
trees it takesto build a house
White spruce lodge pole pine and sub alpine tir are the breadcand-butter tree species that concern Andrea EasthamOAC 77 and MSc 84 a research sCientist with the British ~~olumbia Ministry of Forestsin Prince George Shes
working on projects aimed at improving seedling quality and suitability for the reforestation site
When it comes to the preservation of Canadas forests Lisa -Buse OAC 84 thinks many environmental advocates are fightshyIng the symptoms when they should be looking at the cause of forest destruction A project forester for MNR in TIlUnder Bay Buseworks primarily with the black spruce species to improve
reprodilction rechnologies The industry is simply responding
to public demand for wood products says Buse Demonstrators who picket paper mills carrying cardboard signs or build plywood tree houses to stop logging operations are not very convincing
Barry Diamond OAC 68 BIA director ofparks and recreashytion for the Nova Scotia Department of Llnds and Forests says people are becoming more interested in understanding the environment Not only do park visitors ask for interpretive programs but they demonstrate a willingness to get involved in park planning he says Public input into a 1988 policy review reinforced the departments long-standing policy that prohibits commercial extraction of timber within park boundaries
Environmental damage caused by current logging practices goes well beyond the loss of trees says Henry Kock OAC 77 a horticulturalist at The Arboretum I1Iese practices also destroy plant and wildlife habitats that were protected by the forest canopy allow the land to dry out and alter the environshymental conditions of nearby streams and lakes
But there is a better way says Kock who offers encourageshyment to pulp and paper operations that are using shelter belt harvesting Under this system the logger the ecologist and the botanist collaborate to decide when and where to cut About 30 per cent of the trees are left behind in stands resembling peninsulas on an ocean of clear-cut areas They reduce open areas where the wind can sweep through to cause drying and erosion Reforestation is not necessary The peninsulas slowly grow out like an amoeba until they till in the cut areas
A1ternative management practices however can not keep pace with current levels of consumption says Kock North -Americans make up eight per cent ofthe worlds population and consume 60 per cent of its resources To really make a difshyference we have to work with government industry and conshysumers to reduce our consumption offorestry prOducts

Built with wooden arches the covered rink - still sporting a natural ice surface - opened in January 19 14 and cleared $2000 in the first season It collapsed with the ti r~t heavy snowfall that fall anu was rebuilt only to collapse again in late 19 16
Undaunted the OAC athlet ic association spearheaded a project to rehui k1 the stmcture with steel arches which st ill stand today Unfortunately they reduced the span of the icc surface by about 1) feet and for more than 70 years were a constant problem for taller players who went into Ihe boards after a puck Hockey helmets might have been invented here
The cost of the thricc-bui ll rink escalated to abOllt g12000 It was financed by the sale of five-year Six-pershycent bonds No one who put money into this venture ever lost a cent says Mitchlt IL

Lobby group formed
niversity alumni from five major Ontario universitics - Guelph Queens Toronto Waterloo and Western - ha e joined forces to orshyganize a citizens group to lobby the Ontario government for more fu ndshying for universities
Fri middot nds of Ontario niversities is the b ginning of a pennanent lobby group representing the intershycsts of universities says Lisa Wilson HAFA 84 president of the HAFA Alumni Association
The objective is to assist Ontario universities by promoting apshypropriate government funding policies says Wilson The first priority will be to try to reverse the current trend in reduced governshyment spending in higher education she says
According to the Council of Onshytario Univcrsiti s (COU) the universities share of total governshyment spending has declined from 59 per cent in 197778 to 45 per cent in 198990 Wilson says itsesshytimatcd that Ontario ranks ninth among the 10 provinces in terms of government support per student
Friends of Ontario niversities will also try to encourage business and individuals to become more inshyvolved in the support of universities
The group is encouraging people to question their MPPs and provinshycial candidates about university fundshying Ask what they intend to do to benefit Ontario universities she says
The GAA has supported three proposals put forth by COU for disshycussion during the provincial elecshytion campaign
The proposals include a governshyment commitment to match private gifts to universities a trust for the adshyvancement of the social scicnces and humanities and infrastructure supshyport for science and technology to rebuild stocks of scientific and techshynological equipment supporting the provinces new thrust in this area
Wilson also hopes to organize a Univer ity of Guelph group as an ann of the provincial organization For more infonnation call Alumni House 519-824-4120 Ext 21 22

A profile of artists Jane and Ron Eccles
We had the sense that everyshything is possible says artistJane Eccles Arts 70 of her student days at the University of Guelph
One gets the same feeling from Janes Patch Work canvases which now hang over the main stairway of the MacKinnon buildshying Patch Work depicts the fea shytures and the personali ties of 10 women scrambling their images to form something of a female archetype The women seem to understand each others symshybolism - they adapt and exshychange qualities with each other
The 20 canvases share the Guelph alcove with a sculpture by Walter Bachinski - the fine art professor who helped instil in Jane that feeling ofpossibilities - and a new abstract painting by her husband Ron Arts 70 Enshytitled Erratic it uses the colors of earth stone and sand to mellow strong geometric shapes
I think of myself as building structures as much as paiming pictures says Ron
The couple met and married while studying art at Guelph Ron had transferred from the Onshytario College ofArt to earn a BA Jane had been majoring in history and English - until she took classhyses in drawing and sculpture to relax from the pressure of thesis writing
My love of fine arts and for the individuals who create works of art was awakened at Guelph she says
Today the Eccles live and work in a renovated 1856 farmhouse in BowmanvilIe Ont Ron has been able to provide at -home care for their sons Ryan 10 and Bradley 6 while working at home Jane teaches art at Bowmanville High School

Cedars hold on to secret of long-life Two years ago
botany professor Doug Larson was hanging over the cliff edge of the Niagara escarpment near Milshyton Ont to study lichens when he grabbed on to a secret that has surprised even the scientific community
He discovered that the gnaded halfshydead cedars growing on the cliffs are Ontarios oldest trees - some of them more than 700 years old
Larson and his colshyleagues were more than a little bit excited about the disshycovel) and the possibilities it offered for studies of past climates Not to mention the chance to find out how eastern white cedars - normally found in wet swampy areas - could survive for centuries without soil and in the extreme climatic conditions of the cliff face
The trees are still holding on to their secrets says Larson He was struck originally by their ability to grow slowly - some growth rings are only one or two cells wide Now he is equally amazed by the variability found in the ancient forest
Two 400-year-old trees growing only a few metres apart can vary in diameter from two-thirds of a metre to a few centimetres The first may have the normal 12 growth rings for every 25 centimetres ofwood whereas growth rings in the second may be only one or two cells in width
Shown as exact size tvis section of an ancient cedar shows more than 300 growth rings
Clinging to life on the edge of the Niagara escmpment the botshytom halfof tvis 625-year-old white cedar is dead but life conshytinues as the tree stretches upward
16
Its very difficult to make predictions about climatic conditions in the year 1590 when you only have two cells to look at says Larson
The dwarfed cedar is more interesting he says but the larger brother may provide more information Both are growing from cracks in the limestone cliff face They are nourished by water percolating through the porous limestone but how they got there is still just a theory he says
The perseverance of this ancient forest has generated a level of public interest that Larson hopes to harness Compared with other coniferous forests the trees are small and deformed and have little economic value This is the species used for rail fences and shingles not pulp and paper he says That means researchers can study them to explain the basic functiOning of forest ecosysshytems without stepping on anyones toes
The scientific community needs to do a better job of educating people about the dynamics of a forest says Larson The ancient cedars contradict the common pershyception that old trees are large
If we discover that the growth and survival of this species requires a degree of interaction in the ecosysshytem that we dont provide then it may change the way we grow and harvest conifers in other places he says
Forest undergrowth survives harvesting
Harvesting trees doesnt seem to have any short-term adverse effects on the shrubs and undergrowth in southshycentral Ontario forests says botany professor Richard Reader But he cautions there isnt enough data to make predictions for the long-term impact on either the richshyness or the variety of the plant species making up the forest undergrowth
Reader has been monitoring Carolinian deciduous forests on the north shore of Lake Erie for the last five years His study supported by Ontarios Ministry of Natural Resources was intended to determine the imshypact selective cutting in these forests - that is current harvesting practices - would have on the undergrowth
This layer of vegetation is important because it conshytains some species ofplants that are only found on the shores of Lake Erie After conducting a pre-harvest assessshyment Reader selectively cut the largest most economishycally important trees remOving up to two-thirds of the trees in the forest This represents the extremes - from minimal operation to intensive cutting The ministry was interested in minimizing the impact that cutting would have on the understory growth says Reader
As it turns out there was no short-term impact he says The shrub layer and herbaceous species regenerated rapidly both in their density and in the -types of species that grew back
These preliminary findings should not be interpreted as a licence to cut up to two-thirds of available trees in forests he says The long-term implications of intensive cutting need a longer observation period

Supercomputing comes to campus
The University has entered a new league of reshysearch computing with its acquisition of a millionshydollar project supercomputer system from Silicon Graphics Canada Inc to establish a numerically intenshysive computing (NIC) faCility on campus
The faCility will allow Guelph scientists and stushydents to do large-scale research computations It will include two project supercomputers the IRIS POWER Series 4D 340S and 4D 380S Together the machines have 192 megabytes of core memory and 34 gigabytes of disk storage capacity
Many disciplines and research projects will benefit from the computing power available in the NIC faCility For example chemistry and biochemistry researchers are calculating from first principles the electronic properties of atoms and molecules Physicists are studying the molecular structure of the surface of water A project in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics involves studying surface catalysis of chemical reactions Animal and poultry scientists are doing genetic parameter estimations in livestock and landscape arshychitects are doing photorealistic rendering in their work
Under an agreement with Silicon Graphics the University received substantial discounts on equipshyment and maintenance In return the University will serve as a testing ground for Silicon equipment inshycluding a high-performance GTX graphics subsystem that will be evaluated and demonstrated at a 1991 computing conference on campus
New PhD program approved
This spring the University received final approval for a new PhD program in applied mathematics and apshyplied statistics The program offers a unique combinashytion of emphases says Prof Bill Smith Department of Mathematics and Statistics ll1cse include specializashytions in mathematical biology dynamical systems numerical analysis and optimization linear and nonshylinear models survival analysis life testing and bioassay
The program reflects current interest in the major scientific diScipl ines and recognizes the levels of scholarship and research within the department says Smith These specialties along with the uepartments state-of-the-art comp uter facilities make it one of the most advanced in the country
The department has established a unique industry link through the Math and Stats Cl inic and offers stushydents access to an advanced computer research laboratory Established in 1980 the clinic conducts reshysearch for industry sponsors develops software presents short courses and offers a consulting service Each of the problems that it tackles for industry beshycomes a teaching tool offering valuable experience to both graduate and undergraduate students
In 1983 the department installed the first undershygraduate microcomputer lab on campus and has conshytinued to upgrade equipment n le departments computer facili ties are probably unrivalled by any similar department in Canada says Smith
Faculty supervise 25 graduate students in MSc and PhD programs in the University-wide biophysics group the Guelph-Waterloo Program in Physics and the new departmental program

EC WILLIAMS OAC 34 1903-1974
OAC welcomed the Welshman
Whether it was his red hair or his Welsh ancestry Edmund C Williams OAC 34 was one of the colleges most determined and colorful students
--
Born in Wales in 1903 Williams came to Canada at m early age and worked as a farm hand before moving to the nited States With a college education ltCj his goal he inshyvested the money he earned as a construcshytion worker a lumberjack and a cowpuncher only to see it evaporate in the financial c rash of 1929
Poorer but no less determined Williams arrived at OAC in September 1929 to enrol in the associate diploma program in agriculture He found a snldent job at 25 cents an hour and talked the head of the chemistry department into Jetshyting him sleep on a cot in the basement
Its reported that Williams existed for a whole academic year on porridge cheese and stale bread liberated from the college dining room
When Williams completed the two-year program in 1931 he immediately enrolled in the intershymediate year and moved his cot to the attic of the dairy building
After graduation he returned to Britain to work at the Nationallnstilute for Research in Dairyshying He later worked for a dairy in North Wales and moved to Singapore in 1938 to become general manager of Cold Storage Creameries Ltd
His determination stood him in good stead during the Jlpanese invasion of Malaya - 1941 to 1945 - when he WlS interred in Changi A happier time followed in 1948 when he met and marshyried his wife Muriel
The couple eventlJally returned [Q the United Kingdom to retire on the Isk of Man In 1971 Williams came to Guelph for a class reunion He toured the campus with classmate Ron Greenwood OAC 34 and purchased two alumni ties ai mementos of his college days at Guelph
Williams died in 1974 leaving a bequest of nearly half a million dollars to provide scholarship awards to OAC students run ed in memory of his mother the Mary Edmunds Williams Fellowships of $4000 each are awarded annually to 12 OAC students in PhD or MSc programs
When MUliei Williams died in January 1989 a further bequest of more than S 1 million was received to provide schOlarships of $5000 a year for PhD students in OAe These awards totalling $135000 annually enhance the competitiveness of OAC departments in attracting top gradate stushydents to Guelph
Ee Williams is remembered fondly by his classmates and college And by the many graduate stushy -dents who have benefited from his determination to succeed

along with their peers We wanted to know how kids initially learn rules that we as adults know when interacting with another individual such as Dont use anothers propershyty without permission
They looked specifically at matershynal intervention when children are fighting and found that mothers freshyquently got involved in play-time conflicts and usually directed comshyments to their own child And what they said overwhelmingly supshyported the other child says Lollis
She found that conflicts over obshyjects or toys have different rules and categories Object fights erupted over concepts such as ownership and prior possession Youngsters as young as 20 months understand who owns an object she says A common claim was Its mine
Toddlers also understand the concept of prior possession which means that whoever has an object may play with it until it is given up All parents know the cry had it first An interesting fact about obshyject fights is that children fight even if there is no object or if there are 10 identical objects says Lollis
The study found that mothers generally told their own children to share objects in their possession but to respect prior ownership if it was another child who had the obshyject
Lollis says mothers should not be criticized for this inconsistency beshycause they may be balancing several social agendas at once Over and above teaching their children rules related to ownership and prior posshysession of objects mothers are also teaching concepts ofgenerosity compassion and generally how to be good hosts to others Sometimes the basic rules for entitlement can conflict with consideration for others she says
Lollis and Ross are also involved in a study on sibling interaction and rules of conduct within a family unit supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council

Are you buying strawberry-flavored dinosaurs by Barbara Chance
Ifyouve ever had to wade your way through a grocery aisle full of sugar-coated strawberry-flavored battery-operated cereal in the shape of dinosaurs to find the corn flakes youve been buying since you were old enough to solo with a shopping cart youve probably asked yourself Who needs all this
And the answer is Somebody If enough somebodies somewhere werent buying this cereal it wouldnt be sitting on the shelf says Prof Trevor Watts Department of Consumer Studies
Of course some products dont have much of a life on the shelf They become a fad for a year then slip into oblivion when a new fad comes along Kids cereals in parshyticular have a knack for passing comet-like through your friendly neighborhood grocery store says Watts Its because young people today want so much variety and change
Todays manufacturers need to
know their consumers and markets well says Watts Introducing any new product is a huge financial risk so manufacturers need to know whos going to buy their product and whether or not its going to be around for awhile If its just going to be a fad they need to be able to
plan it as a fad product and profit from it while it lasts
There is a continual effort to inshytroduce products on the market says Watts but a lot of them fail The failure rate of new food products - from original idea to being successful on the shelf - has been estimated as high as 80 per cent The biggest cause of failure is that the product doesnt fulfil a
Guelph Alumnus
need in the consumers eyes Its also a question of timing he
says Sometimes a product can be introduced before consumers are ready to accept it Twenty-five years ago a baby food was put out on test market in a package rather ilian a glass jar After it was opened it had to be refrigerated It fa iled in the test market because people couldn t believe that baby food could be good and safe if it wasnt in a glass jar Three years ago a similar concept of dehydrated baby food that sits on the shelf in a plasshytic container was introduced and apshypears to be successful The failed baby food was just 25 years too soon
Because of the high cost of introshyducing new products many manufacturers today choose simp ly to change or improve the old ones instead Thats why youll read a new and improved label on your favorite pudding or detergent every few years
Peripheral variations involve much less time and expense for reshysearch and development and much less risk for a manufacturer says
Watts But they dont necessarily sucshy
ceed either Sometimes manufacshyturers have to learn the hard way that you cant always improve on a good thing Just ask the corn chip makers who decided a great variashytion on their product would be to color the chips blue

Shuttle bound Only a handful of
Canadians will ever have the chance to look at Earth the way Roberta Bondar OAC 68 will
Canadas first female astronaut Bondar will be part of a seven-memshyber Columbia shuttle mission scheduled for launch in mid-199I
When Im not taking my work shift Ill be looking out the window says the 44shyyear-old native of Sault Ste Marie Ont
As a payload specialist Bondar will carry out research acshytivities on behalf of scientists in 13 countries Her main area of interest deals with space sickness and the effect space travel has on the movement of body fluids
A graduate of Guelphs zoology program Bondar received an honorary degree from the Univershysity in June She told fellow graduates that the space program has made her more aware of how unique this planet is We need to use the knowledge gained through space science to raise the consciousshyness of whats happening to our enshyvironment on a global scale
Whats after space for Bondar Getting back to Earth both literally and figuratively she says
Being part of Canadas history is great but there are a lot of other things I want to do in my life I
started out at Guelph 22 years ago in an environmental vein and now Im corning back to it
I t was a Grade 10 science project that brought Bondar to Guelph Inshyfluenced by Rachel Carsons book Silent Spring she wanted to do a project on genetic resistance to DDT in fruit flies
I was probably 10 years too early for that project says Bondar but I was at least a month too late in starting it

Computer simulation by Doug Masters
Heading into
SPACE to look at Earth
laboratory in Sault Ste Marie conshyvinced her to look instead at an inshyfestation of the tent caterpillar Eventually they gave her a summer job at the lab and introduced her to Guelphs programs in the biological sciences
She later earned an MSc from the niversity of Western Ontario and a PhD from the University of Toronto before enrolling in medical school at McMaster University She was assistant professor of neurology in McMasters faculty of medicine when she heard a radio anshynouncement in July 1983 that Canada was planning to initiate an astronaut program
Acceptance into the astronaut program fulfilled a lifelong dream for Bondar but she acknowledges that few Canadians will be able to achieve the same dream
Canadas space program relies on launching facilities in other
countries so we dont need many astronauts she says Opportunities are much greater in the other wings of the space program
For years Canadian scientists have been acshytive in space science looking at upper atmosshyphere stars and other objects in the universe
We are world exshyperts in certain areas says Bondar We also have a fantastic reputashytion for building great communication satelshylites and for using other satellites for remote sensing (looking down on the Earth)
Canada will put up its own Earth observashytion satellite (Radarshysat) early in this
decade she says It will have radar facility to help us look through ice blocks and to invenshytory our wildlife and our forest stands
Bondar says Canada will also launch a mobile satellite comshymunications system that will help people in the North communicate with each other
Another wing focusing on space technology was responsible for the development of the Canadarm and is now working on robotics for a space station she says
Bondar has been in training for space flight since 1984 Her gruelshyling physical conditioning includes lifting weights to prepare for the extra 90 pounds of safety equipshyment that astronauts are now reshyquired to wear
A new launch escape suit was designed during NASAs safety review after the 1986 Challenger acshycident Bondar says NASA can not eliminate the potential danger of those first 2 12 minutes after liftoff but the new escape system will protect the astronauts if the orbiter is unable to make a runway landing
Despite the dangers Bondar says she feels as much trepidation about renting a car as she does about stepshyping into the shuttle Anytime you
25
have a p iece of enshygineering that you rely on other people for and your life depends on it its nerve- rackshying
To be part of the space program there arc certain dangers you have LO accept she says This is very risky business I11ese are pioneering days
Because of the high profile of the astronaut program a large part of Bondars job involshyves puhlic relations I think we astronauts have a responsibility to be very knowledgeable about the other parts of the space program and to pass on that knowledge to the general public
Always ttJJing to be efficient Roberta Bondar centre refused to study during her undergraduate _years at Guelph hecause going OVet-the same material taken in didnt make sense I had othet things 10 do But when a severe case ofmurnps kept her out Of classor several weeks she w(lSforred to learn how to study from textbooks ~iomethillg good comes outoevery negative exshyperience she says And that includes long-standing friendships with Elizabeth Waywell OAC MSc 70 left and retired professor Susan Corey right CO~I was my zoology professor and Way well was a graduate student in zoology who took me to her Gordon Stteel bome to recuperate says Bondar They rea~)I saved my year
communications has stood her in good stead she says Even as a student I had a real commitment that scienshytists should be able to communicate their ideas better
She encourages people - especially young people - to write for information posters photographs and lapel pins to the public relations branch of the Canadian Space Agency National Reshysearch Council of Canada Building M60 Montreal Road Ottawa KIA OR6
Space is uppermost in the minds of our young people because they can see it in their fu ture Bondar says

Sharing the honor
These things you are honoring me for were not done in isolation said Dr Kenneth Wells 38 on receiving the 1990 OVC Distinshyguished Alumnus award at Alumni Weekend I had the help of a very good team namely the veterinarians of

Wildlife pathologist Ian Barker OVC 68 and MSc 70 has relieved public concern about insect-transmitted disease of potential danger to both dogs and humans
In Canada Lyme disease hysteria is far more comshymon than Lyme disease itself says Barker Canadians and their pets appear to be at very low risk of contractshying the disease he says
In an Ontario study the tick that carries the disease Ixodes dammini was found in nature at only one locashytion - Long Point on Lake Erie There is a greater risk in the coastal northeastern United States from Masshysachusetts to Delaware Minnesota Wisconsin and parts of the Pacific northwest
Lyme disease is readily treatable by antibiotics if diagshynosed early but its difficult to diagnose because it mimics other conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Bells Palsy People most prone to the disease are outdoor workers and outdoor enthusiasts
In the United States the disease has also been implishycated in arthritis and myocarditis in dogs arthritis and abortion in cattle and ophthalmic disease encephalitis and arthritis in horses
Researchers still have a lot to learn about the diagshy
~--nosis of the disease and the transmission biology of the tick says Barker The only distinctive clinical sign is a bulls-eye rash around the tick bite but only 50 to 60 per cent of infected persons develop the rash Blood tests may also be inconclusive
He is currently working on a study for Health and Welfare Canada to determine ways of preventing the disease in Canada and to gain a better understanding of the ticks biology Insect repellents long pants and shirts are the best preventive measures he says
28
S uper Match 90 sponsorship of the OVC Pet Tmst Fund is one way of showing the public that the college is serious about canine disease Passing on the knowledge gained through research is another
Over the summer pathology professor Owen Slocombe OVC 61 a specialist in parasitology has been interviewed several times about his research into heartworm - a debilitating mosquito-borne disease afshyfecting dogs
Although the disease is slowly moving northward from the United States most dogs in Canada are not at serious risk says Slocombe Heartworm is considered endemic around the cities of Montreal and Winnipeg and in lower southern Ontario along Lake Erie the Niagara region and Lake Ontario and north of Toronto around the Lake Simcoe Peterborough and Midland areas
Slocombes research at OVC is the first in the world to define the diseases transmission period He found the rate of worm development is linearly related to temperature ranging from 29 days at 18 C to only nine days at 30 C In Ontario for example the transmission period is June 1 to Oct 8
The worm initially develops in the skin and muscle and gradually moves into blood vessels asshysociated with the heart and lungs causing weakshyness and impaired breathing It can also cause
liver and kidney damage The condition is treatable but the treatment is both expensive and severe
Slocombe has monitored the disease annually since 1976 and says the prevalence in Canada has decreased because ofpreventive efforts by veterinarians One Onshytario survey found heartworm in 16 per cent of dogs not taking preventive medicine compared with one per cent in dogs that were

The May 1990 issue contains an article on the NIMBY (not in my backyard) syndrome with specific reference to landfilJs Getting the public involved in the siting and operation of a landfill is an imporshytant step in preventing NIMBY
But one major factor that is often overlooked in deflecting NIMBY is the post-closure phase of the landfill What will the 1lI1dfill be when it is finished
We in the land reclamation field are proud of the things we can do for the public in reclaiming disshyturbed areas With proper planning and a little help from our friends in the landscape architecture field we can turn landfills into valuable urban parks or golf courses
Its surprising how quickly NIMBY-types who are very vocal during the planning and operation of a landfill change their tune when the landfill becomes a golf course and people are lining up to buy adshyjacent houses
The Canadian Land Reclamation Association (CLRA) which had its origins in Guelph more than 15 years ago represents more than 250 people across Canada who are comshymitted to making resource extracshytion and other land uses compatible with protection and wise use of our environment
Since being elected presishydent of the UGAA I ve looked back over my shoulder and asked How did I get here
It was just four years ago that I attended my first alumni association meetingas a faculty liaison pershyson for the CBS alumni association Now I teach in the Department of Animal and Poultry Science
Over the next rwo years Ill be working with other alumni on the UGAA executive and the planning committee to ensure the

I enjoy reading the GuelphAlumshynus hut when I received the May issue 1was quite disappointed to realize that it is printed on nonshyrecyclable paper
In line with the Un iversityS efforts towards fine paper recycling and the magazines emphasis on environmental issues r think it would be app ropriate to use recyclable or recycled paper
Many magazines continue to have a glossy cover but use different paper for the bulk of the publicashytion You would probably ease many alumni consciences by altershying your format
Dale Smith OVC 80 Department of Pathology
I am very glad to see that U of G is including timely environmental isshysues in their courses research and alumni articles
Please take the environmental issues to heart now and print the alumni magazine on paper that can be recycled If it is practical it would even be better to print on paper that has already been recycled
Thank you and keep up the good work
Georgina de Lagran CSS 75
Surrey RC
Editors note These readers agree with members of the Guelph Alumnus advisory board who have also recommended that the publicashytion be printed on recycled paper stock We plan to make the switch in our next printing contract We noted with interes~ that Georgina de Lagran s letter came to us in a used envelope with the old address covered by a label - a practice we encourage other readers to follow On a similar environmental theme we also received a letter from Hugh Elliott OAC 23 of Paris Ont recommending two recent magazine articles - The Pacific Forest by Catharine Carfield in the May 14 issue of The New Yorker and a critique of that article by Alan Fotheringham in the May 28 issue of Macleans
A message from UGAA presidentJim Atkinson association will remain a strong link beshyrween alumni and the University
Its clear that the association must redefine its role and then communicate that role to its members Many oftodays graduates are earning degrees in programs that cross college boundaries 1l1eir alumni affiliashytion to the University may not fit into the traditionai college associations The Gryphon Club and the HAFA and enshygineering alumni associations are evidence that the UGAA umbrella must he large enough to accommodate a diversity of alumni interests and affiliations
We need to develop a strong voice in University affairs increase our service role and look for new ways ofnurturing alumni
relationships during the early years of fami Iy growth and career development
OvC has led the way with its continuing education programs but there is a lot of potential for the UGAA and the other asshysociations ro address the postgraduation learning needs of alumni [n addition the development of undergraduate student alumni involvement is an important initiashytive
Its an exciting time to be part ofthe alumshyni nerwork as we try ro build a model flexible enough to meet the challenges facing alumni associations - not tomorshyrow but 15 years down the road

mentally _driven says ~rof Andrew Gordon of Guelphs agroforestry program -
Agroforestry addresses many of the problems facing -agriculshyture on this continent - soil erosion maintenance ofmarginalshylands degraded streams and loss of wildlife habitat It can also provide a profitable way to diversify farming operations
Maple syrup production is an agroforestry appliciltion but Gordon suggests that intercropping corn grain and hay crops
-with valuable hardwoods such as black walnut and red oak also has greatpotentiaL Last year Ontario imported more than S93 million worth of these woods from the_ United States as lumber logs and veneer - shy- Inaddition to intercropping agroforestry also -includes the
planting oftrees in areas used to pasture livestock as sheHerbeIts
within the expanse of acash crop and windbreaks on boundary lines Tree plantations can also be used to reclaim marginal lands but may make their greatest contribution in the stewardship of water says Gordon
Stream-side forests have been shown to make dramatic improveshyments in the water quality of degraded agricultural waterways The trees benefit from leached-nutrients that would have run into the stream and their root systems reduce soil erOSionThey also_ rehabilitate the stream fOffish populations by lowering water temperatures and providshying organic _matter (leaves) an important food source for stream inshyvertebrates which in turn
-serve as fo()d for fish
- The reforestation of land along waterways might also compensate into the next century for losses of woodland due to urban growth says Gordon
Pho tos by Andrew Gordon
To do this researchers across Canada are using biotechnology tools to clone the juvenile freeshygrowth traits of superior trees Conshyifers behave somewhat like children says Ho Whereas mature trees grow a prescribed amount each season juvenile trees grow several times a season much like children who have sudden spurts of growth
In conventional breeding programs only half the desirable genes are transferred to the progeny and it takes almost 40 years before a stand of trees can be evaluated Ho is cloning the desired characteristics by rejuvenating a tisshysue culture from a superior tree
providing superior cloned stock for reforestation projects
Last fall the laboratory initiated a project on somatic embryogenesis that is a first step in the production of artificial seed Many scientists across Canada are working on similar projects to clone superior genotypes from zygotic embryos that are removed from dissected seeds To date embryogenic calli have been regenerated and early somatic embryos have been developed on the calli in black and white spruce The next step is to esshytablish plantlets that bear both a shoot and root eliminating the rejuvenation step
If successful this process will render rejuvenation technology obshysolete says Ho Its value will lie in the ability to produce multiple seedshylings from one superior embryo
But researchers still have a long way to go he says One of the unshyanswered questions is why only a few of the zygotic embryos cultured will produce embryonic calli Ho believes the answer lies in genetics
Scientists still understand very little about the genetics of trees Genetic studies in tree species are probably 50 years behind our knowledge of crop species which are another 50 years behind scienshytific understanding of human
genetics Urban forest - Within most The technique has been successful

several hundred landowners But imagine the contribution an urban forest would make to imshyproving the environment of the city
Plant succession - U of G landscape architect professor Victor Chanasyk and botanist David Smith believe an understanding of plant dynamics is essential for those inshyvolved in land-use planning and the management of natural areas
Theyve developed a course describing the natural succession of plant life which is usually triggered by an ecological disturbance of some kind It may be catastrophic as with wildfire in Northern OntarioS boreal forest or less severe such as the gap formation caused by windfall of trees in more southerly deciduous forests
Sustainable environment shyLast year the University formed an Institute for Environmental Policy and Stewardship (IEPS) of which Arboretum director Keith Ronald
((We mustreduce the speed in which weare accelerating our evolution to extinction
later assumed directorship TIle inshystitute is committed to achieving a sustainable environment and has tarshygeted forested lands as its first priority largely because of the knowledge and research expertise in the natural and social sciences that already exists on campus It welcomes involvement by alumni and others interested in global enshyvironmental issues
Situated at The Arboretum the institute offers decision makers a neutral site and an objective viewshypoint for discussion It is also comshypiling a database of global concerns and efforts in the management of forested lands offering the opporshytunity for both economic and ecological analysis says Ronald
The Arboretum recently hosted a conference on the greening of southern Ontario IEPS offers a disshy
tance education course TIle 5000 Days that addresses a broad range of environmental concerns and has produced a discussion paper
on the management of forested lands It has also submitted a formal response to the federal governments The Green Plan - A Framework for Discussion on the Environment
While applauding the governments attempt to put the enshyvironment at the forefront of the public agenda the IEPS response says The Green Plan still places growth and development ahead of environmental preservation The catch phrase sustainable developshyment doesnt go far enough says lEPS We must reduce the speed in which we are accelerating our evolution to extinction The messhysage is a sustainable environment and our success in achieving this obshyjective will be directly proportional to our ability to get the message across

Efforts (0 save northern timber have wide public appeal says Uhlig but hed like to see more emphasis on reforestation in unused agricultural and urban land areas in the south It would have an imm~diate and profound impact on the environment in terms of water qllality wildlife habitat erosion and cooling
The problem of prematureharvesting is being addressed by 3uchanan Prooucts inc of Thunder Bay ont a producer of construction lumber Owned by Kenneth Buchanan OAC 56 the company has initiated a program to thin mature stands of jack pine The oldest trees will be harvested individually leaving the younger stockfor another five years The program will maxishyJuize the economic value and ultimately reduce the number of
trees it takesto build a house
White spruce lodge pole pine and sub alpine tir are the breadcand-butter tree species that concern Andrea EasthamOAC 77 and MSc 84 a research sCientist with the British ~~olumbia Ministry of Forestsin Prince George Shes
working on projects aimed at improving seedling quality and suitability for the reforestation site
When it comes to the preservation of Canadas forests Lisa -Buse OAC 84 thinks many environmental advocates are fightshyIng the symptoms when they should be looking at the cause of forest destruction A project forester for MNR in TIlUnder Bay Buseworks primarily with the black spruce species to improve
reprodilction rechnologies The industry is simply responding
to public demand for wood products says Buse Demonstrators who picket paper mills carrying cardboard signs or build plywood tree houses to stop logging operations are not very convincing
Barry Diamond OAC 68 BIA director ofparks and recreashytion for the Nova Scotia Department of Llnds and Forests says people are becoming more interested in understanding the environment Not only do park visitors ask for interpretive programs but they demonstrate a willingness to get involved in park planning he says Public input into a 1988 policy review reinforced the departments long-standing policy that prohibits commercial extraction of timber within park boundaries
Environmental damage caused by current logging practices goes well beyond the loss of trees says Henry Kock OAC 77 a horticulturalist at The Arboretum I1Iese practices also destroy plant and wildlife habitats that were protected by the forest canopy allow the land to dry out and alter the environshymental conditions of nearby streams and lakes
But there is a better way says Kock who offers encourageshyment to pulp and paper operations that are using shelter belt harvesting Under this system the logger the ecologist and the botanist collaborate to decide when and where to cut About 30 per cent of the trees are left behind in stands resembling peninsulas on an ocean of clear-cut areas They reduce open areas where the wind can sweep through to cause drying and erosion Reforestation is not necessary The peninsulas slowly grow out like an amoeba until they till in the cut areas
A1ternative management practices however can not keep pace with current levels of consumption says Kock North -Americans make up eight per cent ofthe worlds population and consume 60 per cent of its resources To really make a difshyference we have to work with government industry and conshysumers to reduce our consumption offorestry prOducts

The Tradition ofHonors
Fe University of Guelphs tradition of granting honorary degrees continued at spring convocation with the awarding of four degrees
The recipients were Howard Rapson a Canadian expert on research in the pulp and paper industry Rosemary Brown former member of the British Columbia Legislature and champion of equality for minorities and women in Canada David Daiches British author and exshypert in Scottish studies and Roberta Bondar OAC 68 Canadas first female astronaut
A fifth candidate for the honor Allan Bromley a nuclear physicist and science adviser to US President George Bush was unable to atshytend
TIle University has awarded 118 honorary degrees since receiving degree-granting privileges in 1964 The first recipient was Harvard University economist John Kenneth Galbraith OAC 31 in 1965 Since then several other Guelph alumni have received the honor inshycluding Bondar Alberta statesmanJW Grant MacEwan OAC 23A and 26 (1972) and Canadian broadcaster George Atkins OAC 39 ( 1989)
Honorary degree recipients represent a diversity of nationalities culshytural backgrounds and endeavors They are people who have used their educations and their talents wisely and have made enormous contribushytions to the betterment of life for everyone
Among them are the late George Ignatieff former ambassador to the United Nations (1970) humanitarian and journalist June Callwood ( 1989) Celia Franca founder of the National Ballet of Canada ( 1976) wildlife artist Robert Bateman ( 1985) and writer Margaret Atwood (1985)
The University has also recognized the achievements of scholars and scientists beyond Canadian borders including British scientist Alexander King founder of the Club of Rome ( 1987) French matheshymatician Benoit Mandelbrot ( 1989) US cancer researcher Harry Rubin ( 1988) and British mountaineer Sir Edmund Hillary ( 1983 )
Other recipients have had a more direct influence on the University community - Nicholas Goldschmidt founder of the Guelph Spring Festival ( 1984) and William A Stewart ( 1976) Ontarios minister of agriculture when the University was created by act of legislature in 1964 Stewart repaid the honor many times over between 1983 and 1989 when he served as chancellor
Guelphs honorary degrees carry with them the same rights and privileges that go with all undergraduate and graduate degrees
Nominations are put forth by the various colleges for approval by the University Senate
At spring convocation the University awarded honorary degrees to top to bottom Howard Rapson Rosemary Brown David Daiches and Roberta Bondar FollOwing tradition each recipient delivered a convocation address

Lobby group formed
niversity alumni from five major Ontario universitics - Guelph Queens Toronto Waterloo and Western - ha e joined forces to orshyganize a citizens group to lobby the Ontario government for more fu ndshying for universities
Fri middot nds of Ontario niversities is the b ginning of a pennanent lobby group representing the intershycsts of universities says Lisa Wilson HAFA 84 president of the HAFA Alumni Association
The objective is to assist Ontario universities by promoting apshypropriate government funding policies says Wilson The first priority will be to try to reverse the current trend in reduced governshyment spending in higher education she says
According to the Council of Onshytario Univcrsiti s (COU) the universities share of total governshyment spending has declined from 59 per cent in 197778 to 45 per cent in 198990 Wilson says itsesshytimatcd that Ontario ranks ninth among the 10 provinces in terms of government support per student
Friends of Ontario niversities will also try to encourage business and individuals to become more inshyvolved in the support of universities
The group is encouraging people to question their MPPs and provinshycial candidates about university fundshying Ask what they intend to do to benefit Ontario universities she says
The GAA has supported three proposals put forth by COU for disshycussion during the provincial elecshytion campaign
The proposals include a governshyment commitment to match private gifts to universities a trust for the adshyvancement of the social scicnces and humanities and infrastructure supshyport for science and technology to rebuild stocks of scientific and techshynological equipment supporting the provinces new thrust in this area
Wilson also hopes to organize a Univer ity of Guelph group as an ann of the provincial organization For more infonnation call Alumni House 519-824-4120 Ext 21 22

A profile of artists Jane and Ron Eccles
We had the sense that everyshything is possible says artistJane Eccles Arts 70 of her student days at the University of Guelph
One gets the same feeling from Janes Patch Work canvases which now hang over the main stairway of the MacKinnon buildshying Patch Work depicts the fea shytures and the personali ties of 10 women scrambling their images to form something of a female archetype The women seem to understand each others symshybolism - they adapt and exshychange qualities with each other
The 20 canvases share the Guelph alcove with a sculpture by Walter Bachinski - the fine art professor who helped instil in Jane that feeling ofpossibilities - and a new abstract painting by her husband Ron Arts 70 Enshytitled Erratic it uses the colors of earth stone and sand to mellow strong geometric shapes
I think of myself as building structures as much as paiming pictures says Ron
The couple met and married while studying art at Guelph Ron had transferred from the Onshytario College ofArt to earn a BA Jane had been majoring in history and English - until she took classhyses in drawing and sculpture to relax from the pressure of thesis writing
My love of fine arts and for the individuals who create works of art was awakened at Guelph she says
Today the Eccles live and work in a renovated 1856 farmhouse in BowmanvilIe Ont Ron has been able to provide at -home care for their sons Ryan 10 and Bradley 6 while working at home Jane teaches art at Bowmanville High School

Cedars hold on to secret of long-life Two years ago
botany professor Doug Larson was hanging over the cliff edge of the Niagara escarpment near Milshyton Ont to study lichens when he grabbed on to a secret that has surprised even the scientific community
He discovered that the gnaded halfshydead cedars growing on the cliffs are Ontarios oldest trees - some of them more than 700 years old
Larson and his colshyleagues were more than a little bit excited about the disshycovel) and the possibilities it offered for studies of past climates Not to mention the chance to find out how eastern white cedars - normally found in wet swampy areas - could survive for centuries without soil and in the extreme climatic conditions of the cliff face
The trees are still holding on to their secrets says Larson He was struck originally by their ability to grow slowly - some growth rings are only one or two cells wide Now he is equally amazed by the variability found in the ancient forest
Two 400-year-old trees growing only a few metres apart can vary in diameter from two-thirds of a metre to a few centimetres The first may have the normal 12 growth rings for every 25 centimetres ofwood whereas growth rings in the second may be only one or two cells in width
Shown as exact size tvis section of an ancient cedar shows more than 300 growth rings
Clinging to life on the edge of the Niagara escmpment the botshytom halfof tvis 625-year-old white cedar is dead but life conshytinues as the tree stretches upward
16
Its very difficult to make predictions about climatic conditions in the year 1590 when you only have two cells to look at says Larson
The dwarfed cedar is more interesting he says but the larger brother may provide more information Both are growing from cracks in the limestone cliff face They are nourished by water percolating through the porous limestone but how they got there is still just a theory he says
The perseverance of this ancient forest has generated a level of public interest that Larson hopes to harness Compared with other coniferous forests the trees are small and deformed and have little economic value This is the species used for rail fences and shingles not pulp and paper he says That means researchers can study them to explain the basic functiOning of forest ecosysshytems without stepping on anyones toes
The scientific community needs to do a better job of educating people about the dynamics of a forest says Larson The ancient cedars contradict the common pershyception that old trees are large
If we discover that the growth and survival of this species requires a degree of interaction in the ecosysshytem that we dont provide then it may change the way we grow and harvest conifers in other places he says
Forest undergrowth survives harvesting
Harvesting trees doesnt seem to have any short-term adverse effects on the shrubs and undergrowth in southshycentral Ontario forests says botany professor Richard Reader But he cautions there isnt enough data to make predictions for the long-term impact on either the richshyness or the variety of the plant species making up the forest undergrowth
Reader has been monitoring Carolinian deciduous forests on the north shore of Lake Erie for the last five years His study supported by Ontarios Ministry of Natural Resources was intended to determine the imshypact selective cutting in these forests - that is current harvesting practices - would have on the undergrowth
This layer of vegetation is important because it conshytains some species ofplants that are only found on the shores of Lake Erie After conducting a pre-harvest assessshyment Reader selectively cut the largest most economishycally important trees remOving up to two-thirds of the trees in the forest This represents the extremes - from minimal operation to intensive cutting The ministry was interested in minimizing the impact that cutting would have on the understory growth says Reader
As it turns out there was no short-term impact he says The shrub layer and herbaceous species regenerated rapidly both in their density and in the -types of species that grew back
These preliminary findings should not be interpreted as a licence to cut up to two-thirds of available trees in forests he says The long-term implications of intensive cutting need a longer observation period

Supercomputing comes to campus
The University has entered a new league of reshysearch computing with its acquisition of a millionshydollar project supercomputer system from Silicon Graphics Canada Inc to establish a numerically intenshysive computing (NIC) faCility on campus
The faCility will allow Guelph scientists and stushydents to do large-scale research computations It will include two project supercomputers the IRIS POWER Series 4D 340S and 4D 380S Together the machines have 192 megabytes of core memory and 34 gigabytes of disk storage capacity
Many disciplines and research projects will benefit from the computing power available in the NIC faCility For example chemistry and biochemistry researchers are calculating from first principles the electronic properties of atoms and molecules Physicists are studying the molecular structure of the surface of water A project in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics involves studying surface catalysis of chemical reactions Animal and poultry scientists are doing genetic parameter estimations in livestock and landscape arshychitects are doing photorealistic rendering in their work
Under an agreement with Silicon Graphics the University received substantial discounts on equipshyment and maintenance In return the University will serve as a testing ground for Silicon equipment inshycluding a high-performance GTX graphics subsystem that will be evaluated and demonstrated at a 1991 computing conference on campus
New PhD program approved
This spring the University received final approval for a new PhD program in applied mathematics and apshyplied statistics The program offers a unique combinashytion of emphases says Prof Bill Smith Department of Mathematics and Statistics ll1cse include specializashytions in mathematical biology dynamical systems numerical analysis and optimization linear and nonshylinear models survival analysis life testing and bioassay
The program reflects current interest in the major scientific diScipl ines and recognizes the levels of scholarship and research within the department says Smith These specialties along with the uepartments state-of-the-art comp uter facilities make it one of the most advanced in the country
The department has established a unique industry link through the Math and Stats Cl inic and offers stushydents access to an advanced computer research laboratory Established in 1980 the clinic conducts reshysearch for industry sponsors develops software presents short courses and offers a consulting service Each of the problems that it tackles for industry beshycomes a teaching tool offering valuable experience to both graduate and undergraduate students
In 1983 the department installed the first undershygraduate microcomputer lab on campus and has conshytinued to upgrade equipment n le departments computer facili ties are probably unrivalled by any similar department in Canada says Smith
Faculty supervise 25 graduate students in MSc and PhD programs in the University-wide biophysics group the Guelph-Waterloo Program in Physics and the new departmental program

EC WILLIAMS OAC 34 1903-1974
OAC welcomed the Welshman
Whether it was his red hair or his Welsh ancestry Edmund C Williams OAC 34 was one of the colleges most determined and colorful students
--
Born in Wales in 1903 Williams came to Canada at m early age and worked as a farm hand before moving to the nited States With a college education ltCj his goal he inshyvested the money he earned as a construcshytion worker a lumberjack and a cowpuncher only to see it evaporate in the financial c rash of 1929
Poorer but no less determined Williams arrived at OAC in September 1929 to enrol in the associate diploma program in agriculture He found a snldent job at 25 cents an hour and talked the head of the chemistry department into Jetshyting him sleep on a cot in the basement
Its reported that Williams existed for a whole academic year on porridge cheese and stale bread liberated from the college dining room
When Williams completed the two-year program in 1931 he immediately enrolled in the intershymediate year and moved his cot to the attic of the dairy building
After graduation he returned to Britain to work at the Nationallnstilute for Research in Dairyshying He later worked for a dairy in North Wales and moved to Singapore in 1938 to become general manager of Cold Storage Creameries Ltd
His determination stood him in good stead during the Jlpanese invasion of Malaya - 1941 to 1945 - when he WlS interred in Changi A happier time followed in 1948 when he met and marshyried his wife Muriel
The couple eventlJally returned [Q the United Kingdom to retire on the Isk of Man In 1971 Williams came to Guelph for a class reunion He toured the campus with classmate Ron Greenwood OAC 34 and purchased two alumni ties ai mementos of his college days at Guelph
Williams died in 1974 leaving a bequest of nearly half a million dollars to provide scholarship awards to OAC students run ed in memory of his mother the Mary Edmunds Williams Fellowships of $4000 each are awarded annually to 12 OAC students in PhD or MSc programs
When MUliei Williams died in January 1989 a further bequest of more than S 1 million was received to provide schOlarships of $5000 a year for PhD students in OAe These awards totalling $135000 annually enhance the competitiveness of OAC departments in attracting top gradate stushydents to Guelph
Ee Williams is remembered fondly by his classmates and college And by the many graduate stushy -dents who have benefited from his determination to succeed

along with their peers We wanted to know how kids initially learn rules that we as adults know when interacting with another individual such as Dont use anothers propershyty without permission
They looked specifically at matershynal intervention when children are fighting and found that mothers freshyquently got involved in play-time conflicts and usually directed comshyments to their own child And what they said overwhelmingly supshyported the other child says Lollis
She found that conflicts over obshyjects or toys have different rules and categories Object fights erupted over concepts such as ownership and prior possession Youngsters as young as 20 months understand who owns an object she says A common claim was Its mine
Toddlers also understand the concept of prior possession which means that whoever has an object may play with it until it is given up All parents know the cry had it first An interesting fact about obshyject fights is that children fight even if there is no object or if there are 10 identical objects says Lollis
The study found that mothers generally told their own children to share objects in their possession but to respect prior ownership if it was another child who had the obshyject
Lollis says mothers should not be criticized for this inconsistency beshycause they may be balancing several social agendas at once Over and above teaching their children rules related to ownership and prior posshysession of objects mothers are also teaching concepts ofgenerosity compassion and generally how to be good hosts to others Sometimes the basic rules for entitlement can conflict with consideration for others she says
Lollis and Ross are also involved in a study on sibling interaction and rules of conduct within a family unit supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council

Are you buying strawberry-flavored dinosaurs by Barbara Chance
Ifyouve ever had to wade your way through a grocery aisle full of sugar-coated strawberry-flavored battery-operated cereal in the shape of dinosaurs to find the corn flakes youve been buying since you were old enough to solo with a shopping cart youve probably asked yourself Who needs all this
And the answer is Somebody If enough somebodies somewhere werent buying this cereal it wouldnt be sitting on the shelf says Prof Trevor Watts Department of Consumer Studies
Of course some products dont have much of a life on the shelf They become a fad for a year then slip into oblivion when a new fad comes along Kids cereals in parshyticular have a knack for passing comet-like through your friendly neighborhood grocery store says Watts Its because young people today want so much variety and change
Todays manufacturers need to
know their consumers and markets well says Watts Introducing any new product is a huge financial risk so manufacturers need to know whos going to buy their product and whether or not its going to be around for awhile If its just going to be a fad they need to be able to
plan it as a fad product and profit from it while it lasts
There is a continual effort to inshytroduce products on the market says Watts but a lot of them fail The failure rate of new food products - from original idea to being successful on the shelf - has been estimated as high as 80 per cent The biggest cause of failure is that the product doesnt fulfil a
Guelph Alumnus
need in the consumers eyes Its also a question of timing he
says Sometimes a product can be introduced before consumers are ready to accept it Twenty-five years ago a baby food was put out on test market in a package rather ilian a glass jar After it was opened it had to be refrigerated It fa iled in the test market because people couldn t believe that baby food could be good and safe if it wasnt in a glass jar Three years ago a similar concept of dehydrated baby food that sits on the shelf in a plasshytic container was introduced and apshypears to be successful The failed baby food was just 25 years too soon
Because of the high cost of introshyducing new products many manufacturers today choose simp ly to change or improve the old ones instead Thats why youll read a new and improved label on your favorite pudding or detergent every few years
Peripheral variations involve much less time and expense for reshysearch and development and much less risk for a manufacturer says
Watts But they dont necessarily sucshy
ceed either Sometimes manufacshyturers have to learn the hard way that you cant always improve on a good thing Just ask the corn chip makers who decided a great variashytion on their product would be to color the chips blue

Diploma program celebrates milestone
1976 1983 Q ~
7000 graduates and still counting
OAC reached a milestone in June when Cheryl Stanley of Bristol Que became the 7000th graduate of the diploma in agriculture program Primarily funded by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food the proshygram began in 1874 and according to these other mileshystone graduates has been picking up speed ever since
1000 - Frank Paterson 12A of Scarborough Township Ont graduated from the program when he was 18 and went to work for $1200 a year as an assistant agricultural representative in Peel County When he retired 48 years later - earning $9000 a year - he had also served the districts of Muskoka Parry Sound and East Nipissing and the counties of Durham Norfolk Weiland and Peterborough He died in 1977 Paterson was folshylowed to Guelph by his brother George OAC 24 his daughter Molly Nix Mac 410 and four grandchildren

Shuttle bound Only a handful of
Canadians will ever have the chance to look at Earth the way Roberta Bondar OAC 68 will
Canadas first female astronaut Bondar will be part of a seven-memshyber Columbia shuttle mission scheduled for launch in mid-199I
When Im not taking my work shift Ill be looking out the window says the 44shyyear-old native of Sault Ste Marie Ont
As a payload specialist Bondar will carry out research acshytivities on behalf of scientists in 13 countries Her main area of interest deals with space sickness and the effect space travel has on the movement of body fluids
A graduate of Guelphs zoology program Bondar received an honorary degree from the Univershysity in June She told fellow graduates that the space program has made her more aware of how unique this planet is We need to use the knowledge gained through space science to raise the consciousshyness of whats happening to our enshyvironment on a global scale
Whats after space for Bondar Getting back to Earth both literally and figuratively she says
Being part of Canadas history is great but there are a lot of other things I want to do in my life I
started out at Guelph 22 years ago in an environmental vein and now Im corning back to it
I t was a Grade 10 science project that brought Bondar to Guelph Inshyfluenced by Rachel Carsons book Silent Spring she wanted to do a project on genetic resistance to DDT in fruit flies
I was probably 10 years too early for that project says Bondar but I was at least a month too late in starting it

Computer simulation by Doug Masters
Heading into
SPACE to look at Earth
laboratory in Sault Ste Marie conshyvinced her to look instead at an inshyfestation of the tent caterpillar Eventually they gave her a summer job at the lab and introduced her to Guelphs programs in the biological sciences
She later earned an MSc from the niversity of Western Ontario and a PhD from the University of Toronto before enrolling in medical school at McMaster University She was assistant professor of neurology in McMasters faculty of medicine when she heard a radio anshynouncement in July 1983 that Canada was planning to initiate an astronaut program
Acceptance into the astronaut program fulfilled a lifelong dream for Bondar but she acknowledges that few Canadians will be able to achieve the same dream
Canadas space program relies on launching facilities in other
countries so we dont need many astronauts she says Opportunities are much greater in the other wings of the space program
For years Canadian scientists have been acshytive in space science looking at upper atmosshyphere stars and other objects in the universe
We are world exshyperts in certain areas says Bondar We also have a fantastic reputashytion for building great communication satelshylites and for using other satellites for remote sensing (looking down on the Earth)
Canada will put up its own Earth observashytion satellite (Radarshysat) early in this
decade she says It will have radar facility to help us look through ice blocks and to invenshytory our wildlife and our forest stands
Bondar says Canada will also launch a mobile satellite comshymunications system that will help people in the North communicate with each other
Another wing focusing on space technology was responsible for the development of the Canadarm and is now working on robotics for a space station she says
Bondar has been in training for space flight since 1984 Her gruelshyling physical conditioning includes lifting weights to prepare for the extra 90 pounds of safety equipshyment that astronauts are now reshyquired to wear
A new launch escape suit was designed during NASAs safety review after the 1986 Challenger acshycident Bondar says NASA can not eliminate the potential danger of those first 2 12 minutes after liftoff but the new escape system will protect the astronauts if the orbiter is unable to make a runway landing
Despite the dangers Bondar says she feels as much trepidation about renting a car as she does about stepshyping into the shuttle Anytime you
25
have a p iece of enshygineering that you rely on other people for and your life depends on it its nerve- rackshying
To be part of the space program there arc certain dangers you have LO accept she says This is very risky business I11ese are pioneering days
Because of the high profile of the astronaut program a large part of Bondars job involshyves puhlic relations I think we astronauts have a responsibility to be very knowledgeable about the other parts of the space program and to pass on that knowledge to the general public
Always ttJJing to be efficient Roberta Bondar centre refused to study during her undergraduate _years at Guelph hecause going OVet-the same material taken in didnt make sense I had othet things 10 do But when a severe case ofmurnps kept her out Of classor several weeks she w(lSforred to learn how to study from textbooks ~iomethillg good comes outoevery negative exshyperience she says And that includes long-standing friendships with Elizabeth Waywell OAC MSc 70 left and retired professor Susan Corey right CO~I was my zoology professor and Way well was a graduate student in zoology who took me to her Gordon Stteel bome to recuperate says Bondar They rea~)I saved my year
communications has stood her in good stead she says Even as a student I had a real commitment that scienshytists should be able to communicate their ideas better
She encourages people - especially young people - to write for information posters photographs and lapel pins to the public relations branch of the Canadian Space Agency National Reshysearch Council of Canada Building M60 Montreal Road Ottawa KIA OR6
Space is uppermost in the minds of our young people because they can see it in their fu ture Bondar says

Wildlife pathologist Ian Barker OVC 68 and MSc 70 has relieved public concern about insect-transmitted disease of potential danger to both dogs and humans
In Canada Lyme disease hysteria is far more comshymon than Lyme disease itself says Barker Canadians and their pets appear to be at very low risk of contractshying the disease he says
In an Ontario study the tick that carries the disease Ixodes dammini was found in nature at only one locashytion - Long Point on Lake Erie There is a greater risk in the coastal northeastern United States from Masshysachusetts to Delaware Minnesota Wisconsin and parts of the Pacific northwest
Lyme disease is readily treatable by antibiotics if diagshynosed early but its difficult to diagnose because it mimics other conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Bells Palsy People most prone to the disease are outdoor workers and outdoor enthusiasts
In the United States the disease has also been implishycated in arthritis and myocarditis in dogs arthritis and abortion in cattle and ophthalmic disease encephalitis and arthritis in horses
Researchers still have a lot to learn about the diagshy
~--nosis of the disease and the transmission biology of the tick says Barker The only distinctive clinical sign is a bulls-eye rash around the tick bite but only 50 to 60 per cent of infected persons develop the rash Blood tests may also be inconclusive
He is currently working on a study for Health and Welfare Canada to determine ways of preventing the disease in Canada and to gain a better understanding of the ticks biology Insect repellents long pants and shirts are the best preventive measures he says
28
S uper Match 90 sponsorship of the OVC Pet Tmst Fund is one way of showing the public that the college is serious about canine disease Passing on the knowledge gained through research is another
Over the summer pathology professor Owen Slocombe OVC 61 a specialist in parasitology has been interviewed several times about his research into heartworm - a debilitating mosquito-borne disease afshyfecting dogs
Although the disease is slowly moving northward from the United States most dogs in Canada are not at serious risk says Slocombe Heartworm is considered endemic around the cities of Montreal and Winnipeg and in lower southern Ontario along Lake Erie the Niagara region and Lake Ontario and north of Toronto around the Lake Simcoe Peterborough and Midland areas
Slocombes research at OVC is the first in the world to define the diseases transmission period He found the rate of worm development is linearly related to temperature ranging from 29 days at 18 C to only nine days at 30 C In Ontario for example the transmission period is June 1 to Oct 8
The worm initially develops in the skin and muscle and gradually moves into blood vessels asshysociated with the heart and lungs causing weakshyness and impaired breathing It can also cause
liver and kidney damage The condition is treatable but the treatment is both expensive and severe
Slocombe has monitored the disease annually since 1976 and says the prevalence in Canada has decreased because ofpreventive efforts by veterinarians One Onshytario survey found heartworm in 16 per cent of dogs not taking preventive medicine compared with one per cent in dogs that were

The May 1990 issue contains an article on the NIMBY (not in my backyard) syndrome with specific reference to landfilJs Getting the public involved in the siting and operation of a landfill is an imporshytant step in preventing NIMBY
But one major factor that is often overlooked in deflecting NIMBY is the post-closure phase of the landfill What will the 1lI1dfill be when it is finished
We in the land reclamation field are proud of the things we can do for the public in reclaiming disshyturbed areas With proper planning and a little help from our friends in the landscape architecture field we can turn landfills into valuable urban parks or golf courses
Its surprising how quickly NIMBY-types who are very vocal during the planning and operation of a landfill change their tune when the landfill becomes a golf course and people are lining up to buy adshyjacent houses
The Canadian Land Reclamation Association (CLRA) which had its origins in Guelph more than 15 years ago represents more than 250 people across Canada who are comshymitted to making resource extracshytion and other land uses compatible with protection and wise use of our environment
Since being elected presishydent of the UGAA I ve looked back over my shoulder and asked How did I get here
It was just four years ago that I attended my first alumni association meetingas a faculty liaison pershyson for the CBS alumni association Now I teach in the Department of Animal and Poultry Science
Over the next rwo years Ill be working with other alumni on the UGAA executive and the planning committee to ensure the

I enjoy reading the GuelphAlumshynus hut when I received the May issue 1was quite disappointed to realize that it is printed on nonshyrecyclable paper
In line with the Un iversityS efforts towards fine paper recycling and the magazines emphasis on environmental issues r think it would be app ropriate to use recyclable or recycled paper
Many magazines continue to have a glossy cover but use different paper for the bulk of the publicashytion You would probably ease many alumni consciences by altershying your format
Dale Smith OVC 80 Department of Pathology
I am very glad to see that U of G is including timely environmental isshysues in their courses research and alumni articles
Please take the environmental issues to heart now and print the alumni magazine on paper that can be recycled If it is practical it would even be better to print on paper that has already been recycled
Thank you and keep up the good work
Georgina de Lagran CSS 75
Surrey RC
Editors note These readers agree with members of the Guelph Alumnus advisory board who have also recommended that the publicashytion be printed on recycled paper stock We plan to make the switch in our next printing contract We noted with interes~ that Georgina de Lagran s letter came to us in a used envelope with the old address covered by a label - a practice we encourage other readers to follow On a similar environmental theme we also received a letter from Hugh Elliott OAC 23 of Paris Ont recommending two recent magazine articles - The Pacific Forest by Catharine Carfield in the May 14 issue of The New Yorker and a critique of that article by Alan Fotheringham in the May 28 issue of Macleans
A message from UGAA presidentJim Atkinson association will remain a strong link beshyrween alumni and the University
Its clear that the association must redefine its role and then communicate that role to its members Many oftodays graduates are earning degrees in programs that cross college boundaries 1l1eir alumni affiliashytion to the University may not fit into the traditionai college associations The Gryphon Club and the HAFA and enshygineering alumni associations are evidence that the UGAA umbrella must he large enough to accommodate a diversity of alumni interests and affiliations
We need to develop a strong voice in University affairs increase our service role and look for new ways ofnurturing alumni
relationships during the early years of fami Iy growth and career development
OvC has led the way with its continuing education programs but there is a lot of potential for the UGAA and the other asshysociations ro address the postgraduation learning needs of alumni [n addition the development of undergraduate student alumni involvement is an important initiashytive
Its an exciting time to be part ofthe alumshyni nerwork as we try ro build a model flexible enough to meet the challenges facing alumni associations - not tomorshyrow but 15 years down the road

mentally _driven says ~rof Andrew Gordon of Guelphs agroforestry program -
Agroforestry addresses many of the problems facing -agriculshyture on this continent - soil erosion maintenance ofmarginalshylands degraded streams and loss of wildlife habitat It can also provide a profitable way to diversify farming operations
Maple syrup production is an agroforestry appliciltion but Gordon suggests that intercropping corn grain and hay crops
-with valuable hardwoods such as black walnut and red oak also has greatpotentiaL Last year Ontario imported more than S93 million worth of these woods from the_ United States as lumber logs and veneer - shy- Inaddition to intercropping agroforestry also -includes the
planting oftrees in areas used to pasture livestock as sheHerbeIts
within the expanse of acash crop and windbreaks on boundary lines Tree plantations can also be used to reclaim marginal lands but may make their greatest contribution in the stewardship of water says Gordon
Stream-side forests have been shown to make dramatic improveshyments in the water quality of degraded agricultural waterways The trees benefit from leached-nutrients that would have run into the stream and their root systems reduce soil erOSionThey also_ rehabilitate the stream fOffish populations by lowering water temperatures and providshying organic _matter (leaves) an important food source for stream inshyvertebrates which in turn
-serve as fo()d for fish
- The reforestation of land along waterways might also compensate into the next century for losses of woodland due to urban growth says Gordon
Pho tos by Andrew Gordon
To do this researchers across Canada are using biotechnology tools to clone the juvenile freeshygrowth traits of superior trees Conshyifers behave somewhat like children says Ho Whereas mature trees grow a prescribed amount each season juvenile trees grow several times a season much like children who have sudden spurts of growth
In conventional breeding programs only half the desirable genes are transferred to the progeny and it takes almost 40 years before a stand of trees can be evaluated Ho is cloning the desired characteristics by rejuvenating a tisshysue culture from a superior tree
providing superior cloned stock for reforestation projects
Last fall the laboratory initiated a project on somatic embryogenesis that is a first step in the production of artificial seed Many scientists across Canada are working on similar projects to clone superior genotypes from zygotic embryos that are removed from dissected seeds To date embryogenic calli have been regenerated and early somatic embryos have been developed on the calli in black and white spruce The next step is to esshytablish plantlets that bear both a shoot and root eliminating the rejuvenation step
If successful this process will render rejuvenation technology obshysolete says Ho Its value will lie in the ability to produce multiple seedshylings from one superior embryo
But researchers still have a long way to go he says One of the unshyanswered questions is why only a few of the zygotic embryos cultured will produce embryonic calli Ho believes the answer lies in genetics
Scientists still understand very little about the genetics of trees Genetic studies in tree species are probably 50 years behind our knowledge of crop species which are another 50 years behind scienshytific understanding of human
genetics Urban forest - Within most The technique has been successful

Plant succession - U of G landscape architect professor Victor Chanasyk and botanist David Smith believe an understanding of plant dynamics is essential for those inshyvolved in land-use planning and the management of natural areas
Theyve developed a course describing the natural succession of plant life which is usually triggered by an ecological disturbance of some kind It may be catastrophic as with wildfire in Northern OntarioS boreal forest or less severe such as the gap formation caused by windfall of trees in more southerly deciduous forests
Sustainable environment shyLast year the University formed an Institute for Environmental Policy and Stewardship (IEPS) of which Arboretum director Keith Ronald
((We mustreduce the speed in which weare accelerating our evolution to extinction
later assumed directorship TIle inshystitute is committed to achieving a sustainable environment and has tarshygeted forested lands as its first priority largely because of the knowledge and research expertise in the natural and social sciences that already exists on campus It welcomes involvement by alumni and others interested in global enshyvironmental issues
Situated at The Arboretum the institute offers decision makers a neutral site and an objective viewshypoint for discussion It is also comshypiling a database of global concerns and efforts in the management of forested lands offering the opporshytunity for both economic and ecological analysis says Ronald
The Arboretum recently hosted a conference on the greening of southern Ontario IEPS offers a disshy
tance education course TIle 5000 Days that addresses a broad range of environmental concerns and has produced a discussion paper
on the management of forested lands It has also submitted a formal response to the federal governments The Green Plan - A Framework for Discussion on the Environment
While applauding the governments attempt to put the enshyvironment at the forefront of the public agenda the IEPS response says The Green Plan still places growth and development ahead of environmental preservation The catch phrase sustainable developshyment doesnt go far enough says lEPS We must reduce the speed in which we are accelerating our evolution to extinction The messhysage is a sustainable environment and our success in achieving this obshyjective will be directly proportional to our ability to get the message across

Efforts (0 save northern timber have wide public appeal says Uhlig but hed like to see more emphasis on reforestation in unused agricultural and urban land areas in the south It would have an imm~diate and profound impact on the environment in terms of water qllality wildlife habitat erosion and cooling
The problem of prematureharvesting is being addressed by 3uchanan Prooucts inc of Thunder Bay ont a producer of construction lumber Owned by Kenneth Buchanan OAC 56 the company has initiated a program to thin mature stands of jack pine The oldest trees will be harvested individually leaving the younger stockfor another five years The program will maxishyJuize the economic value and ultimately reduce the number of
trees it takesto build a house
White spruce lodge pole pine and sub alpine tir are the breadcand-butter tree species that concern Andrea EasthamOAC 77 and MSc 84 a research sCientist with the British ~~olumbia Ministry of Forestsin Prince George Shes
working on projects aimed at improving seedling quality and suitability for the reforestation site
When it comes to the preservation of Canadas forests Lisa -Buse OAC 84 thinks many environmental advocates are fightshyIng the symptoms when they should be looking at the cause of forest destruction A project forester for MNR in TIlUnder Bay Buseworks primarily with the black spruce species to improve
reprodilction rechnologies The industry is simply responding
to public demand for wood products says Buse Demonstrators who picket paper mills carrying cardboard signs or build plywood tree houses to stop logging operations are not very convincing
Barry Diamond OAC 68 BIA director ofparks and recreashytion for the Nova Scotia Department of Llnds and Forests says people are becoming more interested in understanding the environment Not only do park visitors ask for interpretive programs but they demonstrate a willingness to get involved in park planning he says Public input into a 1988 policy review reinforced the departments long-standing policy that prohibits commercial extraction of timber within park boundaries
Environmental damage caused by current logging practices goes well beyond the loss of trees says Henry Kock OAC 77 a horticulturalist at The Arboretum I1Iese practices also destroy plant and wildlife habitats that were protected by the forest canopy allow the land to dry out and alter the environshymental conditions of nearby streams and lakes
But there is a better way says Kock who offers encourageshyment to pulp and paper operations that are using shelter belt harvesting Under this system the logger the ecologist and the botanist collaborate to decide when and where to cut About 30 per cent of the trees are left behind in stands resembling peninsulas on an ocean of clear-cut areas They reduce open areas where the wind can sweep through to cause drying and erosion Reforestation is not necessary The peninsulas slowly grow out like an amoeba until they till in the cut areas
A1ternative management practices however can not keep pace with current levels of consumption says Kock North -Americans make up eight per cent ofthe worlds population and consume 60 per cent of its resources To really make a difshyference we have to work with government industry and conshysumers to reduce our consumption offorestry prOducts

Lobby group formed
niversity alumni from five major Ontario universitics - Guelph Queens Toronto Waterloo and Western - ha e joined forces to orshyganize a citizens group to lobby the Ontario government for more fu ndshying for universities
Fri middot nds of Ontario niversities is the b ginning of a pennanent lobby group representing the intershycsts of universities says Lisa Wilson HAFA 84 president of the HAFA Alumni Association
The objective is to assist Ontario universities by promoting apshypropriate government funding policies says Wilson The first priority will be to try to reverse the current trend in reduced governshyment spending in higher education she says
According to the Council of Onshytario Univcrsiti s (COU) the universities share of total governshyment spending has declined from 59 per cent in 197778 to 45 per cent in 198990 Wilson says itsesshytimatcd that Ontario ranks ninth among the 10 provinces in terms of government support per student
Friends of Ontario niversities will also try to encourage business and individuals to become more inshyvolved in the support of universities
The group is encouraging people to question their MPPs and provinshycial candidates about university fundshying Ask what they intend to do to benefit Ontario universities she says
The GAA has supported three proposals put forth by COU for disshycussion during the provincial elecshytion campaign
The proposals include a governshyment commitment to match private gifts to universities a trust for the adshyvancement of the social scicnces and humanities and infrastructure supshyport for science and technology to rebuild stocks of scientific and techshynological equipment supporting the provinces new thrust in this area
Wilson also hopes to organize a Univer ity of Guelph group as an ann of the provincial organization For more infonnation call Alumni House 519-824-4120 Ext 21 22

A profile of artists Jane and Ron Eccles
We had the sense that everyshything is possible says artistJane Eccles Arts 70 of her student days at the University of Guelph
One gets the same feeling from Janes Patch Work canvases which now hang over the main stairway of the MacKinnon buildshying Patch Work depicts the fea shytures and the personali ties of 10 women scrambling their images to form something of a female archetype The women seem to understand each others symshybolism - they adapt and exshychange qualities with each other
The 20 canvases share the Guelph alcove with a sculpture by Walter Bachinski - the fine art professor who helped instil in Jane that feeling ofpossibilities - and a new abstract painting by her husband Ron Arts 70 Enshytitled Erratic it uses the colors of earth stone and sand to mellow strong geometric shapes
I think of myself as building structures as much as paiming pictures says Ron
The couple met and married while studying art at Guelph Ron had transferred from the Onshytario College ofArt to earn a BA Jane had been majoring in history and English - until she took classhyses in drawing and sculpture to relax from the pressure of thesis writing
My love of fine arts and for the individuals who create works of art was awakened at Guelph she says
Today the Eccles live and work in a renovated 1856 farmhouse in BowmanvilIe Ont Ron has been able to provide at -home care for their sons Ryan 10 and Bradley 6 while working at home Jane teaches art at Bowmanville High School
Jane was awarded a Marshall McLuhan Distinguished Teacher

Cedars hold on to secret of long-life Two years ago
botany professor Doug Larson was hanging over the cliff edge of the Niagara escarpment near Milshyton Ont to study lichens when he grabbed on to a secret that has surprised even the scientific community
He discovered that the gnaded halfshydead cedars growing on the cliffs are Ontarios oldest trees - some of them more than 700 years old
Larson and his colshyleagues were more than a little bit excited about the disshycovel) and the possibilities it offered for studies of past climates Not to mention the chance to find out how eastern white cedars - normally found in wet swampy areas - could survive for centuries without soil and in the extreme climatic conditions of the cliff face
The trees are still holding on to their secrets says Larson He was struck originally by their ability to grow slowly - some growth rings are only one or two cells wide Now he is equally amazed by the variability found in the ancient forest
Two 400-year-old trees growing only a few metres apart can vary in diameter from two-thirds of a metre to a few centimetres The first may have the normal 12 growth rings for every 25 centimetres ofwood whereas growth rings in the second may be only one or two cells in width
Shown as exact size tvis section of an ancient cedar shows more than 300 growth rings
Clinging to life on the edge of the Niagara escmpment the botshytom halfof tvis 625-year-old white cedar is dead but life conshytinues as the tree stretches upward
16
Its very difficult to make predictions about climatic conditions in the year 1590 when you only have two cells to look at says Larson
The dwarfed cedar is more interesting he says but the larger brother may provide more information Both are growing from cracks in the limestone cliff face They are nourished by water percolating through the porous limestone but how they got there is still just a theory he says
The perseverance of this ancient forest has generated a level of public interest that Larson hopes to harness Compared with other coniferous forests the trees are small and deformed and have little economic value This is the species used for rail fences and shingles not pulp and paper he says That means researchers can study them to explain the basic functiOning of forest ecosysshytems without stepping on anyones toes
The scientific community needs to do a better job of educating people about the dynamics of a forest says Larson The ancient cedars contradict the common pershyception that old trees are large
If we discover that the growth and survival of this species requires a degree of interaction in the ecosysshytem that we dont provide then it may change the way we grow and harvest conifers in other places he says
Forest undergrowth survives harvesting
Harvesting trees doesnt seem to have any short-term adverse effects on the shrubs and undergrowth in southshycentral Ontario forests says botany professor Richard Reader But he cautions there isnt enough data to make predictions for the long-term impact on either the richshyness or the variety of the plant species making up the forest undergrowth
Reader has been monitoring Carolinian deciduous forests on the north shore of Lake Erie for the last five years His study supported by Ontarios Ministry of Natural Resources was intended to determine the imshypact selective cutting in these forests - that is current harvesting practices - would have on the undergrowth
This layer of vegetation is important because it conshytains some species ofplants that are only found on the shores of Lake Erie After conducting a pre-harvest assessshyment Reader selectively cut the largest most economishycally important trees remOving up to two-thirds of the trees in the forest This represents the extremes - from minimal operation to intensive cutting The ministry was interested in minimizing the impact that cutting would have on the understory growth says Reader
As it turns out there was no short-term impact he says The shrub layer and herbaceous species regenerated rapidly both in their density and in the -types of species that grew back
These preliminary findings should not be interpreted as a licence to cut up to two-thirds of available trees in forests he says The long-term implications of intensive cutting need a longer observation period

Supercomputing comes to campus
The University has entered a new league of reshysearch computing with its acquisition of a millionshydollar project supercomputer system from Silicon Graphics Canada Inc to establish a numerically intenshysive computing (NIC) faCility on campus
The faCility will allow Guelph scientists and stushydents to do large-scale research computations It will include two project supercomputers the IRIS POWER Series 4D 340S and 4D 380S Together the machines have 192 megabytes of core memory and 34 gigabytes of disk storage capacity
Many disciplines and research projects will benefit from the computing power available in the NIC faCility For example chemistry and biochemistry researchers are calculating from first principles the electronic properties of atoms and molecules Physicists are studying the molecular structure of the surface of water A project in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics involves studying surface catalysis of chemical reactions Animal and poultry scientists are doing genetic parameter estimations in livestock and landscape arshychitects are doing photorealistic rendering in their work
Under an agreement with Silicon Graphics the University received substantial discounts on equipshyment and maintenance In return the University will serve as a testing ground for Silicon equipment inshycluding a high-performance GTX graphics subsystem that will be evaluated and demonstrated at a 1991 computing conference on campus
New PhD program approved
This spring the University received final approval for a new PhD program in applied mathematics and apshyplied statistics The program offers a unique combinashytion of emphases says Prof Bill Smith Department of Mathematics and Statistics ll1cse include specializashytions in mathematical biology dynamical systems numerical analysis and optimization linear and nonshylinear models survival analysis life testing and bioassay
The program reflects current interest in the major scientific diScipl ines and recognizes the levels of scholarship and research within the department says Smith These specialties along with the uepartments state-of-the-art comp uter facilities make it one of the most advanced in the country
The department has established a unique industry link through the Math and Stats Cl inic and offers stushydents access to an advanced computer research laboratory Established in 1980 the clinic conducts reshysearch for industry sponsors develops software presents short courses and offers a consulting service Each of the problems that it tackles for industry beshycomes a teaching tool offering valuable experience to both graduate and undergraduate students
In 1983 the department installed the first undershygraduate microcomputer lab on campus and has conshytinued to upgrade equipment n le departments computer facili ties are probably unrivalled by any similar department in Canada says Smith
Faculty supervise 25 graduate students in MSc and PhD programs in the University-wide biophysics group the Guelph-Waterloo Program in Physics and the new departmental program

EC WILLIAMS OAC 34 1903-1974
OAC welcomed the Welshman
Whether it was his red hair or his Welsh ancestry Edmund C Williams OAC 34 was one of the colleges most determined and colorful students
--
Born in Wales in 1903 Williams came to Canada at m early age and worked as a farm hand before moving to the nited States With a college education ltCj his goal he inshyvested the money he earned as a construcshytion worker a lumberjack and a cowpuncher only to see it evaporate in the financial c rash of 1929
Poorer but no less determined Williams arrived at OAC in September 1929 to enrol in the associate diploma program in agriculture He found a snldent job at 25 cents an hour and talked the head of the chemistry department into Jetshyting him sleep on a cot in the basement
Its reported that Williams existed for a whole academic year on porridge cheese and stale bread liberated from the college dining room
When Williams completed the two-year program in 1931 he immediately enrolled in the intershymediate year and moved his cot to the attic of the dairy building
After graduation he returned to Britain to work at the Nationallnstilute for Research in Dairyshying He later worked for a dairy in North Wales and moved to Singapore in 1938 to become general manager of Cold Storage Creameries Ltd
His determination stood him in good stead during the Jlpanese invasion of Malaya - 1941 to 1945 - when he WlS interred in Changi A happier time followed in 1948 when he met and marshyried his wife Muriel
The couple eventlJally returned [Q the United Kingdom to retire on the Isk of Man In 1971 Williams came to Guelph for a class reunion He toured the campus with classmate Ron Greenwood OAC 34 and purchased two alumni ties ai mementos of his college days at Guelph
Williams died in 1974 leaving a bequest of nearly half a million dollars to provide scholarship awards to OAC students run ed in memory of his mother the Mary Edmunds Williams Fellowships of $4000 each are awarded annually to 12 OAC students in PhD or MSc programs
When MUliei Williams died in January 1989 a further bequest of more than S 1 million was received to provide schOlarships of $5000 a year for PhD students in OAe These awards totalling $135000 annually enhance the competitiveness of OAC departments in attracting top gradate stushydents to Guelph
Ee Williams is remembered fondly by his classmates and college And by the many graduate stushy -dents who have benefited from his determination to succeed

along with their peers We wanted to know how kids initially learn rules that we as adults know when interacting with another individual such as Dont use anothers propershyty without permission
They looked specifically at matershynal intervention when children are fighting and found that mothers freshyquently got involved in play-time conflicts and usually directed comshyments to their own child And what they said overwhelmingly supshyported the other child says Lollis
She found that conflicts over obshyjects or toys have different rules and categories Object fights erupted over concepts such as ownership and prior possession Youngsters as young as 20 months understand who owns an object she says A common claim was Its mine
Toddlers also understand the concept of prior possession which means that whoever has an object may play with it until it is given up All parents know the cry had it first An interesting fact about obshyject fights is that children fight even if there is no object or if there are 10 identical objects says Lollis
The study found that mothers generally told their own children to share objects in their possession but to respect prior ownership if it was another child who had the obshyject
Lollis says mothers should not be criticized for this inconsistency beshycause they may be balancing several social agendas at once Over and above teaching their children rules related to ownership and prior posshysession of objects mothers are also teaching concepts ofgenerosity compassion and generally how to be good hosts to others Sometimes the basic rules for entitlement can conflict with consideration for others she says
Lollis and Ross are also involved in a study on sibling interaction and rules of conduct within a family unit supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council

And the answer is Somebody If enough somebodies somewhere werent buying this cereal it wouldnt be sitting on the shelf says Prof Trevor Watts Department of Consumer Studies
Of course some products dont have much of a life on the shelf They become a fad for a year then slip into oblivion when a new fad comes along Kids cereals in parshyticular have a knack for passing comet-like through your friendly neighborhood grocery store says Watts Its because young people today want so much variety and change
Todays manufacturers need to
know their consumers and markets well says Watts Introducing any new product is a huge financial risk so manufacturers need to know whos going to buy their product and whether or not its going to be around for awhile If its just going to be a fad they need to be able to
plan it as a fad product and profit from it while it lasts
There is a continual effort to inshytroduce products on the market says Watts but a lot of them fail The failure rate of new food products - from original idea to being successful on the shelf - has been estimated as high as 80 per cent The biggest cause of failure is that the product doesnt fulfil a
Guelph Alumnus
need in the consumers eyes Its also a question of timing he
says Sometimes a product can be introduced before consumers are ready to accept it Twenty-five years ago a baby food was put out on test market in a package rather ilian a glass jar After it was opened it had to be refrigerated It fa iled in the test market because people couldn t believe that baby food could be good and safe if it wasnt in a glass jar Three years ago a similar concept of dehydrated baby food that sits on the shelf in a plasshytic container was introduced and apshypears to be successful The failed baby food was just 25 years too soon
Because of the high cost of introshyducing new products many manufacturers today choose simp ly to change or improve the old ones instead Thats why youll read a new and improved label on your favorite pudding or detergent every few years
Peripheral variations involve much less time and expense for reshysearch and development and much less risk for a manufacturer says
Watts But they dont necessarily sucshy
ceed either Sometimes manufacshyturers have to learn the hard way that you cant always improve on a good thing Just ask the corn chip makers who decided a great variashytion on their product would be to color the chips blue

Diploma program celebrates milestone
1976 1983 Q ~
7000 graduates and still counting
OAC reached a milestone in June when Cheryl Stanley of Bristol Que became the 7000th graduate of the diploma in agriculture program Primarily funded by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food the proshygram began in 1874 and according to these other mileshystone graduates has been picking up speed ever since

Shuttle bound Only a handful of
Canadians will ever have the chance to look at Earth the way Roberta Bondar OAC 68 will
Canadas first female astronaut Bondar will be part of a seven-memshyber Columbia shuttle mission scheduled for launch in mid-199I
When Im not taking my work shift Ill be looking out the window says the 44shyyear-old native of Sault Ste Marie Ont
As a payload specialist Bondar will carry out research acshytivities on behalf of scientists in 13 countries Her main area of interest deals with space sickness and the effect space travel has on the movement of body fluids
A graduate of Guelphs zoology program Bondar received an honorary degree from the Univershysity in June She told fellow graduates that the space program has made her more aware of how unique this planet is We need to use the knowledge gained through space science to raise the consciousshyness of whats happening to our enshyvironment on a global scale
Whats after space for Bondar Getting back to Earth both literally and figuratively she says
Being part of Canadas history is great but there are a lot of other things I want to do in my life I
started out at Guelph 22 years ago in an environmental vein and now Im corning back to it
I t was a Grade 10 science project that brought Bondar to Guelph Inshyfluenced by Rachel Carsons book Silent Spring she wanted to do a project on genetic resistance to DDT in fruit flies
I was probably 10 years too early for that project says Bondar but I was at least a month too late in starting it

Computer simulation by Doug Masters
Heading into
SPACE to look at Earth
laboratory in Sault Ste Marie conshyvinced her to look instead at an inshyfestation of the tent caterpillar Eventually they gave her a summer job at the lab and introduced her to Guelphs programs in the biological sciences
She later earned an MSc from the niversity of Western Ontario and a PhD from the University of Toronto before enrolling in medical school at McMaster University She was assistant professor of neurology in McMasters faculty of medicine when she heard a radio anshynouncement in July 1983 that Canada was planning to initiate an astronaut program
Acceptance into the astronaut program fulfilled a lifelong dream for Bondar but she acknowledges that few Canadians will be able to achieve the same dream
Canadas space program relies on launching facilities in other
countries so we dont need many astronauts she says Opportunities are much greater in the other wings of the space program
For years Canadian scientists have been acshytive in space science looking at upper atmosshyphere stars and other objects in the universe
We are world exshyperts in certain areas says Bondar We also have a fantastic reputashytion for building great communication satelshylites and for using other satellites for remote sensing (looking down on the Earth)
Canada will put up its own Earth observashytion satellite (Radarshysat) early in this
decade she says It will have radar facility to help us look through ice blocks and to invenshytory our wildlife and our forest stands
Bondar says Canada will also launch a mobile satellite comshymunications system that will help people in the North communicate with each other
Another wing focusing on space technology was responsible for the development of the Canadarm and is now working on robotics for a space station she says
Bondar has been in training for space flight since 1984 Her gruelshyling physical conditioning includes lifting weights to prepare for the extra 90 pounds of safety equipshyment that astronauts are now reshyquired to wear
A new launch escape suit was designed during NASAs safety review after the 1986 Challenger acshycident Bondar says NASA can not eliminate the potential danger of those first 2 12 minutes after liftoff but the new escape system will protect the astronauts if the orbiter is unable to make a runway landing
Despite the dangers Bondar says she feels as much trepidation about renting a car as she does about stepshyping into the shuttle Anytime you
25
have a p iece of enshygineering that you rely on other people for and your life depends on it its nerve- rackshying
To be part of the space program there arc certain dangers you have LO accept she says This is very risky business I11ese are pioneering days
Because of the high profile of the astronaut program a large part of Bondars job involshyves puhlic relations I think we astronauts have a responsibility to be very knowledgeable about the other parts of the space program and to pass on that knowledge to the general public
Always ttJJing to be efficient Roberta Bondar centre refused to study during her undergraduate _years at Guelph hecause going OVet-the same material taken in didnt make sense I had othet things 10 do But when a severe case ofmurnps kept her out Of classor several weeks she w(lSforred to learn how to study from textbooks ~iomethillg good comes outoevery negative exshyperience she says And that includes long-standing friendships with Elizabeth Waywell OAC MSc 70 left and retired professor Susan Corey right CO~I was my zoology professor and Way well was a graduate student in zoology who took me to her Gordon Stteel bome to recuperate says Bondar They rea~)I saved my year
communications has stood her in good stead she says Even as a student I had a real commitment that scienshytists should be able to communicate their ideas better
She encourages people - especially young people - to write for information posters photographs and lapel pins to the public relations branch of the Canadian Space Agency National Reshysearch Council of Canada Building M60 Montreal Road Ottawa KIA OR6
Space is uppermost in the minds of our young people because they can see it in their fu ture Bondar says

Wildlife pathologist Ian Barker OVC 68 and MSc 70 has relieved public concern about insect-transmitted disease of potential danger to both dogs and humans
In Canada Lyme disease hysteria is far more comshymon than Lyme disease itself says Barker Canadians and their pets appear to be at very low risk of contractshying the disease he says
In an Ontario study the tick that carries the disease Ixodes dammini was found in nature at only one locashytion - Long Point on Lake Erie There is a greater risk in the coastal northeastern United States from Masshysachusetts to Delaware Minnesota Wisconsin and parts of the Pacific northwest
Lyme disease is readily treatable by antibiotics if diagshynosed early but its difficult to diagnose because it mimics other conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Bells Palsy People most prone to the disease are outdoor workers and outdoor enthusiasts
In the United States the disease has also been implishycated in arthritis and myocarditis in dogs arthritis and abortion in cattle and ophthalmic disease encephalitis and arthritis in horses
Researchers still have a lot to learn about the diagshy
~--nosis of the disease and the transmission biology of the tick says Barker The only distinctive clinical sign is a bulls-eye rash around the tick bite but only 50 to 60 per cent of infected persons develop the rash Blood tests may also be inconclusive
He is currently working on a study for Health and Welfare Canada to determine ways of preventing the disease in Canada and to gain a better understanding of the ticks biology Insect repellents long pants and shirts are the best preventive measures he says
28
S uper Match 90 sponsorship of the OVC Pet Tmst Fund is one way of showing the public that the college is serious about canine disease Passing on the knowledge gained through research is another
Over the summer pathology professor Owen Slocombe OVC 61 a specialist in parasitology has been interviewed several times about his research into heartworm - a debilitating mosquito-borne disease afshyfecting dogs
Although the disease is slowly moving northward from the United States most dogs in Canada are not at serious risk says Slocombe Heartworm is considered endemic around the cities of Montreal and Winnipeg and in lower southern Ontario along Lake Erie the Niagara region and Lake Ontario and north of Toronto around the Lake Simcoe Peterborough and Midland areas
Slocombes research at OVC is the first in the world to define the diseases transmission period He found the rate of worm development is linearly related to temperature ranging from 29 days at 18 C to only nine days at 30 C In Ontario for example the transmission period is June 1 to Oct 8
The worm initially develops in the skin and muscle and gradually moves into blood vessels asshysociated with the heart and lungs causing weakshyness and impaired breathing It can also cause
liver and kidney damage The condition is treatable but the treatment is both expensive and severe
Slocombe has monitored the disease annually since 1976 and says the prevalence in Canada has decreased because ofpreventive efforts by veterinarians One Onshytario survey found heartworm in 16 per cent of dogs not taking preventive medicine compared with one per cent in dogs that were

Mixing farming and-forestry

A relatively new - North shy
America agroforestry practices are common in the Third World where the iittercropshy
crops is necessitated by population pres-
Above -Ontario s Washington Creek sures Interest in witba newplantingopoplars Rigbt -developed countries the same spot five years later however is environshy
mentally _driven says ~rof Andrew Gordon of Guelphs agroforestry program -
Agroforestry addresses many of the problems facing -agriculshyture on this continent - soil erosion maintenance ofmarginalshylands degraded streams and loss of wildlife habitat It can also provide a profitable way to diversify farming operations
Maple syrup production is an agroforestry appliciltion but Gordon suggests that intercropping corn grain and hay crops
-with valuable hardwoods such as black walnut and red oak also has greatpotentiaL Last year Ontario imported more than S93 million worth of these woods from the_ United States as lumber logs and veneer - shy- Inaddition to intercropping agroforestry also -includes the
planting oftrees in areas used to pasture livestock as sheHerbeIts
within the expanse of acash crop and windbreaks on boundary lines Tree plantations can also be used to reclaim marginal lands but may make their greatest contribution in the stewardship of water says Gordon
Stream-side forests have been shown to make dramatic improveshyments in the water quality of degraded agricultural waterways The trees benefit from leached-nutrients that would have run into the stream and their root systems reduce soil erOSionThey also_ rehabilitate the stream fOffish populations by lowering water temperatures and providshying organic _matter (leaves) an important food source for stream inshyvertebrates which in turn
-serve as fo()d for fish
- The reforestation of land along waterways might also compensate into the next century for losses of woodland due to urban growth says Gordon
Pho tos by Andrew Gordon
To do this researchers across Canada are using biotechnology tools to clone the juvenile freeshygrowth traits of superior trees Conshyifers behave somewhat like children says Ho Whereas mature trees grow a prescribed amount each season juvenile trees grow several times a season much like children who have sudden spurts of growth
In conventional breeding programs only half the desirable genes are transferred to the progeny and it takes almost 40 years before a stand of trees can be evaluated Ho is cloning the desired characteristics by rejuvenating a tisshysue culture from a superior tree
providing superior cloned stock for reforestation projects
Last fall the laboratory initiated a project on somatic embryogenesis that is a first step in the production of artificial seed Many scientists across Canada are working on similar projects to clone superior genotypes from zygotic embryos that are removed from dissected seeds To date embryogenic calli have been regenerated and early somatic embryos have been developed on the calli in black and white spruce The next step is to esshytablish plantlets that bear both a shoot and root eliminating the rejuvenation step
If successful this process will render rejuvenation technology obshysolete says Ho Its value will lie in the ability to produce multiple seedshylings from one superior embryo
But researchers still have a long way to go he says One of the unshyanswered questions is why only a few of the zygotic embryos cultured will produce embryonic calli Ho believes the answer lies in genetics
Scientists still understand very little about the genetics of trees Genetic studies in tree species are probably 50 years behind our knowledge of crop species which are another 50 years behind scienshytific understanding of human
genetics Urban forest - Within most The technique has been successful
cities there are hundreds of acres in apples roses grapes and Rejuvenated black spruce seedlings shyof damaged and unproductive Photo by Rong Hoeucalypti but only partial rejuvenashyland that could be growing trees tion has been achieved in conifers says landscape architecture professhyGrowth regulators are used to sor Jim Taylor Ifwere serious

project will require co-operation perfected the rejuvenation and a financial commitment from process may become routine in

Plant succession - U of G landscape architect professor Victor Chanasyk and botanist David Smith believe an understanding of plant dynamics is essential for those inshyvolved in land-use planning and the management of natural areas
Theyve developed a course describing the natural succession of plant life which is usually triggered by an ecological disturbance of some kind It may be catastrophic as with wildfire in Northern OntarioS boreal forest or less severe such as the gap formation caused by windfall of trees in more southerly deciduous forests
Sustainable environment shyLast year the University formed an Institute for Environmental Policy and Stewardship (IEPS) of which Arboretum director Keith Ronald
((We mustreduce the speed in which weare accelerating our evolution to extinction
later assumed directorship TIle inshystitute is committed to achieving a sustainable environment and has tarshygeted forested lands as its first priority largely because of the knowledge and research expertise in the natural and social sciences that already exists on campus It welcomes involvement by alumni and others interested in global enshyvironmental issues
Situated at The Arboretum the institute offers decision makers a neutral site and an objective viewshypoint for discussion It is also comshypiling a database of global concerns and efforts in the management of forested lands offering the opporshytunity for both economic and ecological analysis says Ronald
The Arboretum recently hosted a conference on the greening of southern Ontario IEPS offers a disshy
tance education course TIle 5000 Days that addresses a broad range of environmental concerns and has produced a discussion paper
on the management of forested lands It has also submitted a formal response to the federal governments The Green Plan - A Framework for Discussion on the Environment
While applauding the governments attempt to put the enshyvironment at the forefront of the public agenda the IEPS response says The Green Plan still places growth and development ahead of environmental preservation The catch phrase sustainable developshyment doesnt go far enough says lEPS We must reduce the speed in which we are accelerating our evolution to extinction The messhysage is a sustainable environment and our success in achieving this obshyjective will be directly proportional to our ability to get the message across
Alumni comments TIle current interest in- rcgreening southern Ontario is
-wekomeq by Peter Uhlig CBS 81 and MSc 84 A forest ccoJogist with MNR to Sault Ste Marie Uhlig says Ontarios northern environOlemsare highly resilient incoOlparison with the forests that used to exist in southern Ontario
Efforts (0 save northern timber have wide public appeal says Uhlig but hed like to see more emphasis on reforestation in unused agricultural and urban land areas in the south It would have an imm~diate and profound impact on the environment in terms of water qllality wildlife habitat erosion and cooling
The problem of prematureharvesting is being addressed by 3uchanan Prooucts inc of Thunder Bay ont a producer of construction lumber Owned by Kenneth Buchanan OAC 56 the company has initiated a program to thin mature stands of jack pine The oldest trees will be harvested individually leaving the younger stockfor another five years The program will maxishyJuize the economic value and ultimately reduce the number of

working on projects aimed at improving seedling quality and suitability for the reforestation site
When it comes to the preservation of Canadas forests Lisa -Buse OAC 84 thinks many environmental advocates are fightshyIng the symptoms when they should be looking at the cause of forest destruction A project forester for MNR in TIlUnder Bay Buseworks primarily with the black spruce species to improve
reprodilction rechnologies The industry is simply responding
to public demand for wood products says Buse Demonstrators who picket paper mills carrying cardboard signs or build plywood tree houses to stop logging operations are not very convincing
Barry Diamond OAC 68 BIA director ofparks and recreashytion for the Nova Scotia Department of Llnds and Forests says people are becoming more interested in understanding the environment Not only do park visitors ask for interpretive programs but they demonstrate a willingness to get involved in park planning he says Public input into a 1988 policy review reinforced the departments long-standing policy that prohibits commercial extraction of timber within park boundaries
Environmental damage caused by current logging practices goes well beyond the loss of trees says Henry Kock OAC 77 a horticulturalist at The Arboretum I1Iese practices also destroy plant and wildlife habitats that were protected by the forest canopy allow the land to dry out and alter the environshymental conditions of nearby streams and lakes
But there is a better way says Kock who offers encourageshyment to pulp and paper operations that are using shelter belt harvesting Under this system the logger the ecologist and the botanist collaborate to decide when and where to cut About 30 per cent of the trees are left behind in stands resembling peninsulas on an ocean of clear-cut areas They reduce open areas where the wind can sweep through to cause drying and erosion Reforestation is not necessary The peninsulas slowly grow out like an amoeba until they till in the cut areas
A1ternative management practices however can not keep pace with current levels of consumption says Kock North -Americans make up eight per cent ofthe worlds population and consume 60 per cent of its resources To really make a difshyference we have to work with government industry and conshysumers to reduce our consumption offorestry prOducts

Lobby group formed
niversity alumni from five major Ontario universitics - Guelph Queens Toronto Waterloo and Western - ha e joined forces to orshyganize a citizens group to lobby the Ontario government for more fu ndshying for universities
Fri middot nds of Ontario niversities is the b ginning of a pennanent lobby group representing the intershycsts of universities says Lisa Wilson HAFA 84 president of the HAFA Alumni Association
The objective is to assist Ontario universities by promoting apshypropriate government funding policies says Wilson The first priority will be to try to reverse the current trend in reduced governshyment spending in higher education she says
According to the Council of Onshytario Univcrsiti s (COU) the universities share of total governshyment spending has declined from 59 per cent in 197778 to 45 per cent in 198990 Wilson says itsesshytimatcd that Ontario ranks ninth among the 10 provinces in terms of government support per student
Friends of Ontario niversities will also try to encourage business and individuals to become more inshyvolved in the support of universities
The group is encouraging people to question their MPPs and provinshycial candidates about university fundshying Ask what they intend to do to benefit Ontario universities she says
The GAA has supported three proposals put forth by COU for disshycussion during the provincial elecshytion campaign
The proposals include a governshyment commitment to match private gifts to universities a trust for the adshyvancement of the social scicnces and humanities and infrastructure supshyport for science and technology to rebuild stocks of scientific and techshynological equipment supporting the provinces new thrust in this area
Wilson also hopes to organize a Univer ity of Guelph group as an ann of the provincial organization For more infonnation call Alumni House 519-824-4120 Ext 21 22

A profile of artists Jane and Ron Eccles
We had the sense that everyshything is possible says artistJane Eccles Arts 70 of her student days at the University of Guelph
One gets the same feeling from Janes Patch Work canvases which now hang over the main stairway of the MacKinnon buildshying Patch Work depicts the fea shytures and the personali ties of 10 women scrambling their images to form something of a female archetype The women seem to understand each others symshybolism - they adapt and exshychange qualities with each other
The 20 canvases share the Guelph alcove with a sculpture by Walter Bachinski - the fine art professor who helped instil in Jane that feeling ofpossibilities - and a new abstract painting by her husband Ron Arts 70 Enshytitled Erratic it uses the colors of earth stone and sand to mellow strong geometric shapes
I think of myself as building structures as much as paiming pictures says Ron
The couple met and married while studying art at Guelph Ron had transferred from the Onshytario College ofArt to earn a BA Jane had been majoring in history and English - until she took classhyses in drawing and sculpture to relax from the pressure of thesis writing
My love of fine arts and for the individuals who create works of art was awakened at Guelph she says
Today the Eccles live and work in a renovated 1856 farmhouse in BowmanvilIe Ont Ron has been able to provide at -home care for their sons Ryan 10 and Bradley 6 while working at home Jane teaches art at Bowmanville High School

Cedars hold on to secret of long-life Two years ago
botany professor Doug Larson was hanging over the cliff edge of the Niagara escarpment near Milshyton Ont to study lichens when he grabbed on to a secret that has surprised even the scientific community
He discovered that the gnaded halfshydead cedars growing on the cliffs are Ontarios oldest trees - some of them more than 700 years old
Larson and his colshyleagues were more than a little bit excited about the disshycovel) and the possibilities it offered for studies of past climates Not to mention the chance to find out how eastern white cedars - normally found in wet swampy areas - could survive for centuries without soil and in the extreme climatic conditions of the cliff face
The trees are still holding on to their secrets says Larson He was struck originally by their ability to grow slowly - some growth rings are only one or two cells wide Now he is equally amazed by the variability found in the ancient forest
Two 400-year-old trees growing only a few metres apart can vary in diameter from two-thirds of a metre to a few centimetres The first may have the normal 12 growth rings for every 25 centimetres ofwood whereas growth rings in the second may be only one or two cells in width
Shown as exact size tvis section of an ancient cedar shows more than 300 growth rings
Clinging to life on the edge of the Niagara escmpment the botshytom halfof tvis 625-year-old white cedar is dead but life conshytinues as the tree stretches upward
16
Its very difficult to make predictions about climatic conditions in the year 1590 when you only have two cells to look at says Larson
The dwarfed cedar is more interesting he says but the larger brother may provide more information Both are growing from cracks in the limestone cliff face They are nourished by water percolating through the porous limestone but how they got there is still just a theory he says
The perseverance of this ancient forest has generated a level of public interest that Larson hopes to harness Compared with other coniferous forests the trees are small and deformed and have little economic value This is the species used for rail fences and shingles not pulp and paper he says That means researchers can study them to explain the basic functiOning of forest ecosysshytems without stepping on anyones toes
The scientific community needs to do a better job of educating people about the dynamics of a forest says Larson The ancient cedars contradict the common pershyception that old trees are large
If we discover that the growth and survival of this species requires a degree of interaction in the ecosysshytem that we dont provide then it may change the way we grow and harvest conifers in other places he says
Forest undergrowth survives harvesting
Harvesting trees doesnt seem to have any short-term adverse effects on the shrubs and undergrowth in southshycentral Ontario forests says botany professor Richard Reader But he cautions there isnt enough data to make predictions for the long-term impact on either the richshyness or the variety of the plant species making up the forest undergrowth
Reader has been monitoring Carolinian deciduous forests on the north shore of Lake Erie for the last five years His study supported by Ontarios Ministry of Natural Resources was intended to determine the imshypact selective cutting in these forests - that is current harvesting practices - would have on the undergrowth
This layer of vegetation is important because it conshytains some species ofplants that are only found on the shores of Lake Erie After conducting a pre-harvest assessshyment Reader selectively cut the largest most economishycally important trees remOving up to two-thirds of the trees in the forest This represents the extremes - from minimal operation to intensive cutting The ministry was interested in minimizing the impact that cutting would have on the understory growth says Reader
As it turns out there was no short-term impact he says The shrub layer and herbaceous species regenerated rapidly both in their density and in the -types of species that grew back
These preliminary findings should not be interpreted as a licence to cut up to two-thirds of available trees in forests he says The long-term implications of intensive cutting need a longer observation period

Supercomputing comes to campus
The University has entered a new league of reshysearch computing with its acquisition of a millionshydollar project supercomputer system from Silicon Graphics Canada Inc to establish a numerically intenshysive computing (NIC) faCility on campus
The faCility will allow Guelph scientists and stushydents to do large-scale research computations It will include two project supercomputers the IRIS POWER Series 4D 340S and 4D 380S Together the machines have 192 megabytes of core memory and 34 gigabytes of disk storage capacity
Many disciplines and research projects will benefit from the computing power available in the NIC faCility For example chemistry and biochemistry researchers are calculating from first principles the electronic properties of atoms and molecules Physicists are studying the molecular structure of the surface of water A project in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics involves studying surface catalysis of chemical reactions Animal and poultry scientists are doing genetic parameter estimations in livestock and landscape arshychitects are doing photorealistic rendering in their work
Under an agreement with Silicon Graphics the University received substantial discounts on equipshyment and maintenance In return the University will serve as a testing ground for Silicon equipment inshycluding a high-performance GTX graphics subsystem that will be evaluated and demonstrated at a 1991 computing conference on campus
New PhD program approved
This spring the University received final approval for a new PhD program in applied mathematics and apshyplied statistics The program offers a unique combinashytion of emphases says Prof Bill Smith Department of Mathematics and Statistics ll1cse include specializashytions in mathematical biology dynamical systems numerical analysis and optimization linear and nonshylinear models survival analysis life testing and bioassay
The program reflects current interest in the major scientific diScipl ines and recognizes the levels of scholarship and research within the department says Smith These specialties along with the uepartments state-of-the-art comp uter facilities make it one of the most advanced in the country
The department has established a unique industry link through the Math and Stats Cl inic and offers stushydents access to an advanced computer research laboratory Established in 1980 the clinic conducts reshysearch for industry sponsors develops software presents short courses and offers a consulting service Each of the problems that it tackles for industry beshycomes a teaching tool offering valuable experience to both graduate and undergraduate students
In 1983 the department installed the first undershygraduate microcomputer lab on campus and has conshytinued to upgrade equipment n le departments computer facili ties are probably unrivalled by any similar department in Canada says Smith
Faculty supervise 25 graduate students in MSc and PhD programs in the University-wide biophysics group the Guelph-Waterloo Program in Physics and the new departmental program

Whether it was his red hair or his Welsh ancestry Edmund C Williams OAC 34 was one of the colleges most determined and colorful students
--
Born in Wales in 1903 Williams came to Canada at m early age and worked as a farm hand before moving to the nited States With a college education ltCj his goal he inshyvested the money he earned as a construcshytion worker a lumberjack and a cowpuncher only to see it evaporate in the financial c rash of 1929
Poorer but no less determined Williams arrived at OAC in September 1929 to enrol in the associate diploma program in agriculture He found a snldent job at 25 cents an hour and talked the head of the chemistry department into Jetshyting him sleep on a cot in the basement
Its reported that Williams existed for a whole academic year on porridge cheese and stale bread liberated from the college dining room
When Williams completed the two-year program in 1931 he immediately enrolled in the intershymediate year and moved his cot to the attic of the dairy building
After graduation he returned to Britain to work at the Nationallnstilute for Research in Dairyshying He later worked for a dairy in North Wales and moved to Singapore in 1938 to become general manager of Cold Storage Creameries Ltd
His determination stood him in good stead during the Jlpanese invasion of Malaya - 1941 to 1945 - when he WlS interred in Changi A happier time followed in 1948 when he met and marshyried his wife Muriel
The couple eventlJally returned [Q the United Kingdom to retire on the Isk of Man In 1971 Williams came to Guelph for a class reunion He toured the campus with classmate Ron Greenwood OAC 34 and purchased two alumni ties ai mementos of his college days at Guelph
Williams died in 1974 leaving a bequest of nearly half a million dollars to provide scholarship awards to OAC students run ed in memory of his mother the Mary Edmunds Williams Fellowships of $4000 each are awarded annually to 12 OAC students in PhD or MSc programs
When MUliei Williams died in January 1989 a further bequest of more than S 1 million was received to provide schOlarships of $5000 a year for PhD students in OAe These awards totalling $135000 annually enhance the competitiveness of OAC departments in attracting top gradate stushydents to Guelph
Ee Williams is remembered fondly by his classmates and college And by the many graduate stushy -dents who have benefited from his determination to succeed

In addition to fighting they someshytimes give Mom a break by engaging in pretend play structured games and conversation
When she began her research on peer relationships Lollis was primarily interested in what mothers say to their children about how to get

along with their peers We wanted to know how kids initially learn rules that we as adults know when interacting with another individual such as Dont use anothers propershyty without permission
They looked specifically at matershynal intervention when children are fighting and found that mothers freshyquently got involved in play-time conflicts and usually directed comshyments to their own child And what they said overwhelmingly supshyported the other child says Lollis
She found that conflicts over obshyjects or toys have different rules and categories Object fights erupted over concepts such as ownership and prior possession Youngsters as young as 20 months understand who owns an object she says A common claim was Its mine
Toddlers also understand the concept of prior possession which means that whoever has an object may play with it until it is given up All parents know the cry had it first An interesting fact about obshyject fights is that children fight even if there is no object or if there are 10 identical objects says Lollis
The study found that mothers generally told their own children to share objects in their possession but to respect prior ownership if it was another child who had the obshyject
Lollis says mothers should not be criticized for this inconsistency beshycause they may be balancing several social agendas at once Over and above teaching their children rules related to ownership and prior posshysession of objects mothers are also teaching concepts ofgenerosity compassion and generally how to be good hosts to others Sometimes the basic rules for entitlement can conflict with consideration for others she says
Lollis and Ross are also involved in a study on sibling interaction and rules of conduct within a family unit supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council

Are you buying strawberry-flavored dinosaurs by Barbara Chance
Ifyouve ever had to wade your way through a grocery aisle full of sugar-coated strawberry-flavored battery-operated cereal in the shape of dinosaurs to find the corn flakes youve been buying since you were old enough to solo with a shopping cart youve probably asked yourself Who needs all this
And the answer is Somebody If enough somebodies somewhere werent buying this cereal it wouldnt be sitting on the shelf says Prof Trevor Watts Department of Consumer Studies
Of course some products dont have much of a life on the shelf They become a fad for a year then slip into oblivion when a new fad comes along Kids cereals in parshyticular have a knack for passing comet-like through your friendly neighborhood grocery store says Watts Its because young people today want so much variety and change
Todays manufacturers need to
know their consumers and markets well says Watts Introducing any new product is a huge financial risk so manufacturers need to know whos going to buy their product and whether or not its going to be around for awhile If its just going to be a fad they need to be able to
plan it as a fad product and profit from it while it lasts
There is a continual effort to inshytroduce products on the market says Watts but a lot of them fail The failure rate of new food products - from original idea to being successful on the shelf - has been estimated as high as 80 per cent The biggest cause of failure is that the product doesnt fulfil a
Guelph Alumnus
need in the consumers eyes Its also a question of timing he
says Sometimes a product can be introduced before consumers are ready to accept it Twenty-five years ago a baby food was put out on test market in a package rather ilian a glass jar After it was opened it had to be refrigerated It fa iled in the test market because people couldn t believe that baby food could be good and safe if it wasnt in a glass jar Three years ago a similar concept of dehydrated baby food that sits on the shelf in a plasshytic container was introduced and apshypears to be successful The failed baby food was just 25 years too soon
Because of the high cost of introshyducing new products many manufacturers today choose simp ly to change or improve the old ones instead Thats why youll read a new and improved label on your favorite pudding or detergent every few years
Peripheral variations involve much less time and expense for reshysearch and development and much less risk for a manufacturer says
Watts But they dont necessarily sucshy
ceed either Sometimes manufacshyturers have to learn the hard way that you cant always improve on a good thing Just ask the corn chip makers who decided a great variashytion on their product would be to color the chips blue

Shuttle bound Only a handful of
Canadians will ever have the chance to look at Earth the way Roberta Bondar OAC 68 will
Canadas first female astronaut Bondar will be part of a seven-memshyber Columbia shuttle mission scheduled for launch in mid-199I
When Im not taking my work shift Ill be looking out the window says the 44shyyear-old native of Sault Ste Marie Ont
As a payload specialist Bondar will carry out research acshytivities on behalf of scientists in 13 countries Her main area of interest deals with space sickness and the effect space travel has on the movement of body fluids
A graduate of Guelphs zoology program Bondar received an honorary degree from the Univershysity in June She told fellow graduates that the space program has made her more aware of how unique this planet is We need to use the knowledge gained through space science to raise the consciousshyness of whats happening to our enshyvironment on a global scale
Whats after space for Bondar Getting back to Earth both literally and figuratively she says
Being part of Canadas history is great but there are a lot of other things I want to do in my life I
started out at Guelph 22 years ago in an environmental vein and now Im corning back to it
I t was a Grade 10 science project that brought Bondar to Guelph Inshyfluenced by Rachel Carsons book Silent Spring she wanted to do a project on genetic resistance to DDT in fruit flies
I was probably 10 years too early for that project says Bondar but I was at least a month too late in starting it

Computer simulation by Doug Masters
Heading into
SPACE to look at Earth
laboratory in Sault Ste Marie conshyvinced her to look instead at an inshyfestation of the tent caterpillar Eventually they gave her a summer job at the lab and introduced her to Guelphs programs in the biological sciences
She later earned an MSc from the niversity of Western Ontario and a PhD from the University of Toronto before enrolling in medical school at McMaster University She was assistant professor of neurology in McMasters faculty of medicine when she heard a radio anshynouncement in July 1983 that Canada was planning to initiate an astronaut program
Acceptance into the astronaut program fulfilled a lifelong dream for Bondar but she acknowledges that few Canadians will be able to achieve the same dream
Canadas space program relies on launching facilities in other
countries so we dont need many astronauts she says Opportunities are much greater in the other wings of the space program
For years Canadian scientists have been acshytive in space science looking at upper atmosshyphere stars and other objects in the universe
We are world exshyperts in certain areas says Bondar We also have a fantastic reputashytion for building great communication satelshylites and for using other satellites for remote sensing (looking down on the Earth)
Canada will put up its own Earth observashytion satellite (Radarshysat) early in this
decade she says It will have radar facility to help us look through ice blocks and to invenshytory our wildlife and our forest stands
Bondar says Canada will also launch a mobile satellite comshymunications system that will help people in the North communicate with each other
Another wing focusing on space technology was responsible for the development of the Canadarm and is now working on robotics for a space station she says
Bondar has been in training for space flight since 1984 Her gruelshyling physical conditioning includes lifting weights to prepare for the extra 90 pounds of safety equipshyment that astronauts are now reshyquired to wear
A new launch escape suit was designed during NASAs safety review after the 1986 Challenger acshycident Bondar says NASA can not eliminate the potential danger of those first 2 12 minutes after liftoff but the new escape system will protect the astronauts if the orbiter is unable to make a runway landing
Despite the dangers Bondar says she feels as much trepidation about renting a car as she does about stepshyping into the shuttle Anytime you
25
have a p iece of enshygineering that you rely on other people for and your life depends on it its nerve- rackshying
To be part of the space program there arc certain dangers you have LO accept she says This is very risky business I11ese are pioneering days
Because of the high profile of the astronaut program a large part of Bondars job involshyves puhlic relations I think we astronauts have a responsibility to be very knowledgeable about the other parts of the space program and to pass on that knowledge to the general public
Always ttJJing to be efficient Roberta Bondar centre refused to study during her undergraduate _years at Guelph hecause going OVet-the same material taken in didnt make sense I had othet things 10 do But when a severe case ofmurnps kept her out Of classor several weeks she w(lSforred to learn how to study from textbooks ~iomethillg good comes outoevery negative exshyperience she says And that includes long-standing friendships with Elizabeth Waywell OAC MSc 70 left and retired professor Susan Corey right CO~I was my zoology professor and Way well was a graduate student in zoology who took me to her Gordon Stteel bome to recuperate says Bondar They rea~)I saved my year
communications has stood her in good stead she says Even as a student I had a real commitment that scienshytists should be able to communicate their ideas better
She encourages people - especially young people - to write for information posters photographs and lapel pins to the public relations branch of the Canadian Space Agency National Reshysearch Council of Canada Building M60 Montreal Road Ottawa KIA OR6
Space is uppermost in the minds of our young people because they can see it in their fu ture Bondar says

Wildlife pathologist Ian Barker OVC 68 and MSc 70 has relieved public concern about insect-transmitted disease of potential danger to both dogs and humans
In Canada Lyme disease hysteria is far more comshymon than Lyme disease itself says Barker Canadians and their pets appear to be at very low risk of contractshying the disease he says
In an Ontario study the tick that carries the disease Ixodes dammini was found in nature at only one locashytion - Long Point on Lake Erie There is a greater risk in the coastal northeastern United States from Masshysachusetts to Delaware Minnesota Wisconsin and parts of the Pacific northwest
Lyme disease is readily treatable by antibiotics if diagshynosed early but its difficult to diagnose because it mimics other conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Bells Palsy People most prone to the disease are outdoor workers and outdoor enthusiasts
In the United States the disease has also been implishycated in arthritis and myocarditis in dogs arthritis and abortion in cattle and ophthalmic disease encephalitis and arthritis in horses
Researchers still have a lot to learn about the diagshy
~--nosis of the disease and the transmission biology of the tick says Barker The only distinctive clinical sign is a bulls-eye rash around the tick bite but only 50 to 60 per cent of infected persons develop the rash Blood tests may also be inconclusive
He is currently working on a study for Health and Welfare Canada to determine ways of preventing the disease in Canada and to gain a better understanding of the ticks biology Insect repellents long pants and shirts are the best preventive measures he says
28
S uper Match 90 sponsorship of the OVC Pet Tmst Fund is one way of showing the public that the college is serious about canine disease Passing on the knowledge gained through research is another
Over the summer pathology professor Owen Slocombe OVC 61 a specialist in parasitology has been interviewed several times about his research into heartworm - a debilitating mosquito-borne disease afshyfecting dogs
Although the disease is slowly moving northward from the United States most dogs in Canada are not at serious risk says Slocombe Heartworm is considered endemic around the cities of Montreal and Winnipeg and in lower southern Ontario along Lake Erie the Niagara region and Lake Ontario and north of Toronto around the Lake Simcoe Peterborough and Midland areas
Slocombes research at OVC is the first in the world to define the diseases transmission period He found the rate of worm development is linearly related to temperature ranging from 29 days at 18 C to only nine days at 30 C In Ontario for example the transmission period is June 1 to Oct 8
The worm initially develops in the skin and muscle and gradually moves into blood vessels asshysociated with the heart and lungs causing weakshyness and impaired breathing It can also cause
liver and kidney damage The condition is treatable but the treatment is both expensive and severe
Slocombe has monitored the disease annually since 1976 and says the prevalence in Canada has decreased because ofpreventive efforts by veterinarians One Onshytario survey found heartworm in 16 per cent of dogs not taking preventive medicine compared with one per cent in dogs that were

Above -Ontario s Washington Creek sures Interest in witba newplantingopoplars Rigbt -developed countries the same spot five years later however is environshy
mentally _driven says ~rof Andrew Gordon of Guelphs agroforestry program -
Agroforestry addresses many of the problems facing -agriculshyture on this continent - soil erosion maintenance ofmarginalshylands degraded streams and loss of wildlife habitat It can also provide a profitable way to diversify farming operations
Maple syrup production is an agroforestry appliciltion but Gordon suggests that intercropping corn grain and hay crops
-with valuable hardwoods such as black walnut and red oak also has greatpotentiaL Last year Ontario imported more than S93 million worth of these woods from the_ United States as lumber logs and veneer - shy- Inaddition to intercropping agroforestry also -includes the
planting oftrees in areas used to pasture livestock as sheHerbeIts
within the expanse of acash crop and windbreaks on boundary lines Tree plantations can also be used to reclaim marginal lands but may make their greatest contribution in the stewardship of water says Gordon
Stream-side forests have been shown to make dramatic improveshyments in the water quality of degraded agricultural waterways The trees benefit from leached-nutrients that would have run into the stream and their root systems reduce soil erOSionThey also_ rehabilitate the stream fOffish populations by lowering water temperatures and providshying organic _matter (leaves) an important food source for stream inshyvertebrates which in turn
-serve as fo()d for fish
- The reforestation of land along waterways might also compensate into the next century for losses of woodland due to urban growth says Gordon
Pho tos by Andrew Gordon
To do this researchers across Canada are using biotechnology tools to clone the juvenile freeshygrowth traits of superior trees Conshyifers behave somewhat like children says Ho Whereas mature trees grow a prescribed amount each season juvenile trees grow several times a season much like children who have sudden spurts of growth
In conventional breeding programs only half the desirable genes are transferred to the progeny and it takes almost 40 years before a stand of trees can be evaluated Ho is cloning the desired characteristics by rejuvenating a tisshysue culture from a superior tree
providing superior cloned stock for reforestation projects
Last fall the laboratory initiated a project on somatic embryogenesis that is a first step in the production of artificial seed Many scientists across Canada are working on similar projects to clone superior genotypes from zygotic embryos that are removed from dissected seeds To date embryogenic calli have been regenerated and early somatic embryos have been developed on the calli in black and white spruce The next step is to esshytablish plantlets that bear both a shoot and root eliminating the rejuvenation step
If successful this process will render rejuvenation technology obshysolete says Ho Its value will lie in the ability to produce multiple seedshylings from one superior embryo
But researchers still have a long way to go he says One of the unshyanswered questions is why only a few of the zygotic embryos cultured will produce embryonic calli Ho believes the answer lies in genetics
Scientists still understand very little about the genetics of trees Genetic studies in tree species are probably 50 years behind our knowledge of crop species which are another 50 years behind scienshytific understanding of human
genetics Urban forest - Within most The technique has been successful

several hundred landowners But imagine the contribution an urban forest would make to imshyproving the environment of the city
Plant succession - U of G landscape architect professor Victor Chanasyk and botanist David Smith believe an understanding of plant dynamics is essential for those inshyvolved in land-use planning and the management of natural areas
Theyve developed a course describing the natural succession of plant life which is usually triggered by an ecological disturbance of some kind It may be catastrophic as with wildfire in Northern OntarioS boreal forest or less severe such as the gap formation caused by windfall of trees in more southerly deciduous forests
Sustainable environment shyLast year the University formed an Institute for Environmental Policy and Stewardship (IEPS) of which Arboretum director Keith Ronald
((We mustreduce the speed in which weare accelerating our evolution to extinction
later assumed directorship TIle inshystitute is committed to achieving a sustainable environment and has tarshygeted forested lands as its first priority largely because of the knowledge and research expertise in the natural and social sciences that already exists on campus It welcomes involvement by alumni and others interested in global enshyvironmental issues
Situated at The Arboretum the institute offers decision makers a neutral site and an objective viewshypoint for discussion It is also comshypiling a database of global concerns and efforts in the management of forested lands offering the opporshytunity for both economic and ecological analysis says Ronald
The Arboretum recently hosted a conference on the greening of southern Ontario IEPS offers a disshy
tance education course TIle 5000 Days that addresses a broad range of environmental concerns and has produced a discussion paper
on the management of forested lands It has also submitted a formal response to the federal governments The Green Plan - A Framework for Discussion on the Environment
While applauding the governments attempt to put the enshyvironment at the forefront of the public agenda the IEPS response says The Green Plan still places growth and development ahead of environmental preservation The catch phrase sustainable developshyment doesnt go far enough says lEPS We must reduce the speed in which we are accelerating our evolution to extinction The messhysage is a sustainable environment and our success in achieving this obshyjective will be directly proportional to our ability to get the message across
Alumni comments TIle current interest in- rcgreening southern Ontario is
-wekomeq by Peter Uhlig CBS 81 and MSc 84 A forest ccoJogist with MNR to Sault Ste Marie Uhlig says Ontarios northern environOlemsare highly resilient incoOlparison with the forests that used to exist in southern Ontario
Efforts (0 save northern timber have wide public appeal says Uhlig but hed like to see more emphasis on reforestation in unused agricultural and urban land areas in the south It would have an imm~diate and profound impact on the environment in terms of water qllality wildlife habitat erosion and cooling
The problem of prematureharvesting is being addressed by 3uchanan Prooucts inc of Thunder Bay ont a producer of construction lumber Owned by Kenneth Buchanan OAC 56 the company has initiated a program to thin mature stands of jack pine The oldest trees will be harvested individually leaving the younger stockfor another five years The program will maxishyJuize the economic value and ultimately reduce the number of
trees it takesto build a house
White spruce lodge pole pine and sub alpine tir are the breadcand-butter tree species that concern Andrea EasthamOAC 77 and MSc 84 a research sCientist with the British ~~olumbia Ministry of Forestsin Prince George Shes
working on projects aimed at improving seedling quality and suitability for the reforestation site
When it comes to the preservation of Canadas forests Lisa -Buse OAC 84 thinks many environmental advocates are fightshyIng the symptoms when they should be looking at the cause of forest destruction A project forester for MNR in TIlUnder Bay Buseworks primarily with the black spruce species to improve
reprodilction rechnologies The industry is simply responding
to public demand for wood products says Buse Demonstrators who picket paper mills carrying cardboard signs or build plywood tree houses to stop logging operations are not very convincing
Barry Diamond OAC 68 BIA director ofparks and recreashytion for the Nova Scotia Department of Llnds and Forests says people are becoming more interested in understanding the environment Not only do park visitors ask for interpretive programs but they demonstrate a willingness to get involved in park planning he says Public input into a 1988 policy review reinforced the departments long-standing policy that prohibits commercial extraction of timber within park boundaries
Environmental damage caused by current logging practices goes well beyond the loss of trees says Henry Kock OAC 77 a horticulturalist at The Arboretum I1Iese practices also destroy plant and wildlife habitats that were protected by the forest canopy allow the land to dry out and alter the environshymental conditions of nearby streams and lakes
But there is a better way says Kock who offers encourageshyment to pulp and paper operations that are using shelter belt harvesting Under this system the logger the ecologist and the botanist collaborate to decide when and where to cut About 30 per cent of the trees are left behind in stands resembling peninsulas on an ocean of clear-cut areas They reduce open areas where the wind can sweep through to cause drying and erosion Reforestation is not necessary The peninsulas slowly grow out like an amoeba until they till in the cut areas
A1ternative management practices however can not keep pace with current levels of consumption says Kock North -Americans make up eight per cent ofthe worlds population and consume 60 per cent of its resources To really make a difshyference we have to work with government industry and conshysumers to reduce our consumption offorestry prOducts

Built with wooden arches the covered rink - still sporting a natural ice surface - opened in January 19 14 and cleared $2000 in the first season It collapsed with the ti r~t heavy snowfall that fall anu was rebuilt only to collapse again in late 19 16
Undaunted the OAC athlet ic association spearheaded a project to rehui k1 the stmcture with steel arches which st ill stand today Unfortunately they reduced the span of the icc surface by about 1) feet and for more than 70 years were a constant problem for taller players who went into Ihe boards after a puck Hockey helmets might have been invented here
The cost of the thricc-bui ll rink escalated to abOllt g12000 It was financed by the sale of five-year Six-pershycent bonds No one who put money into this venture ever lost a cent says Mitchlt IL

The Tradition ofHonors
Fe University of Guelphs tradition of granting honorary degrees continued at spring convocation with the awarding of four degrees
The recipients were Howard Rapson a Canadian expert on research in the pulp and paper industry Rosemary Brown former member of the British Columbia Legislature and champion of equality for minorities and women in Canada David Daiches British author and exshypert in Scottish studies and Roberta Bondar OAC 68 Canadas first female astronaut
A fifth candidate for the honor Allan Bromley a nuclear physicist and science adviser to US President George Bush was unable to atshytend
TIle University has awarded 118 honorary degrees since receiving degree-granting privileges in 1964 The first recipient was Harvard University economist John Kenneth Galbraith OAC 31 in 1965 Since then several other Guelph alumni have received the honor inshycluding Bondar Alberta statesmanJW Grant MacEwan OAC 23A and 26 (1972) and Canadian broadcaster George Atkins OAC 39 ( 1989)
Honorary degree recipients represent a diversity of nationalities culshytural backgrounds and endeavors They are people who have used their educations and their talents wisely and have made enormous contribushytions to the betterment of life for everyone
Among them are the late George Ignatieff former ambassador to the United Nations (1970) humanitarian and journalist June Callwood ( 1989) Celia Franca founder of the National Ballet of Canada ( 1976) wildlife artist Robert Bateman ( 1985) and writer Margaret Atwood (1985)
The University has also recognized the achievements of scholars and scientists beyond Canadian borders including British scientist Alexander King founder of the Club of Rome ( 1987) French matheshymatician Benoit Mandelbrot ( 1989) US cancer researcher Harry Rubin ( 1988) and British mountaineer Sir Edmund Hillary ( 1983 )
Other recipients have had a more direct influence on the University community - Nicholas Goldschmidt founder of the Guelph Spring Festival ( 1984) and William A Stewart ( 1976) Ontarios minister of agriculture when the University was created by act of legislature in 1964 Stewart repaid the honor many times over between 1983 and 1989 when he served as chancellor
Guelphs honorary degrees carry with them the same rights and privileges that go with all undergraduate and graduate degrees
Nominations are put forth by the various colleges for approval by the University Senate
At spring convocation the University awarded honorary degrees to top to bottom Howard Rapson Rosemary Brown David Daiches and Roberta Bondar FollOwing tradition each recipient delivered a convocation address

Lobby group formed
niversity alumni from five major Ontario universitics - Guelph Queens Toronto Waterloo and Western - ha e joined forces to orshyganize a citizens group to lobby the Ontario government for more fu ndshying for universities
Fri middot nds of Ontario niversities is the b ginning of a pennanent lobby group representing the intershycsts of universities says Lisa Wilson HAFA 84 president of the HAFA Alumni Association
The objective is to assist Ontario universities by promoting apshypropriate government funding policies says Wilson The first priority will be to try to reverse the current trend in reduced governshyment spending in higher education she says
According to the Council of Onshytario Univcrsiti s (COU) the universities share of total governshyment spending has declined from 59 per cent in 197778 to 45 per cent in 198990 Wilson says itsesshytimatcd that Ontario ranks ninth among the 10 provinces in terms of government support per student
Friends of Ontario niversities will also try to encourage business and individuals to become more inshyvolved in the support of universities
The group is encouraging people to question their MPPs and provinshycial candidates about university fundshying Ask what they intend to do to benefit Ontario universities she says
The GAA has supported three proposals put forth by COU for disshycussion during the provincial elecshytion campaign
The proposals include a governshyment commitment to match private gifts to universities a trust for the adshyvancement of the social scicnces and humanities and infrastructure supshyport for science and technology to rebuild stocks of scientific and techshynological equipment supporting the provinces new thrust in this area
Wilson also hopes to organize a Univer ity of Guelph group as an ann of the provincial organization For more infonnation call Alumni House 519-824-4120 Ext 21 22

A profile of artists Jane and Ron Eccles
We had the sense that everyshything is possible says artistJane Eccles Arts 70 of her student days at the University of Guelph
One gets the same feeling from Janes Patch Work canvases which now hang over the main stairway of the MacKinnon buildshying Patch Work depicts the fea shytures and the personali ties of 10 women scrambling their images to form something of a female archetype The women seem to understand each others symshybolism - they adapt and exshychange qualities with each other
The 20 canvases share the Guelph alcove with a sculpture by Walter Bachinski - the fine art professor who helped instil in Jane that feeling ofpossibilities - and a new abstract painting by her husband Ron Arts 70 Enshytitled Erratic it uses the colors of earth stone and sand to mellow strong geometric shapes
I think of myself as building structures as much as paiming pictures says Ron

Cedars hold on to secret of long-life Two years ago
botany professor Doug Larson was hanging over the cliff edge of the Niagara escarpment near Milshyton Ont to study lichens when he grabbed on to a secret that has surprised even the scientific community
He discovered that the gnaded halfshydead cedars growing on the cliffs are Ontarios oldest trees - some of them more than 700 years old
Larson and his colshyleagues were more than a little bit excited about the disshycovel) and the possibilities it offered for studies of past climates Not to mention the chance to find out how eastern white cedars - normally found in wet swampy areas - could survive for centuries without soil and in the extreme climatic conditions of the cliff face
The trees are still holding on to their secrets says Larson He was struck originally by their ability to grow slowly - some growth rings are only one or two cells wide Now he is equally amazed by the variability found in the ancient forest
Two 400-year-old trees growing only a few metres apart can vary in diameter from two-thirds of a metre to a few centimetres The first may have the normal 12 growth rings for every 25 centimetres ofwood whereas growth rings in the second may be only one or two cells in width
Shown as exact size tvis section of an ancient cedar shows more than 300 growth rings
Clinging to life on the edge of the Niagara escmpment the botshytom halfof tvis 625-year-old white cedar is dead but life conshytinues as the tree stretches upward
16
Its very difficult to make predictions about climatic conditions in the year 1590 when you only have two cells to look at says Larson
The dwarfed cedar is more interesting he says but the larger brother may provide more information Both are growing from cracks in the limestone cliff face They are nourished by water percolating through the porous limestone but how they got there is still just a theory he says
The perseverance of this ancient forest has generated a level of public interest that Larson hopes to harness Compared with other coniferous forests the trees are small and deformed and have little economic value This is the species used for rail fences and shingles not pulp and paper he says That means researchers can study them to explain the basic functiOning of forest ecosysshytems without stepping on anyones toes
The scientific community needs to do a better job of educating people about the dynamics of a forest says Larson The ancient cedars contradict the common pershyception that old trees are large
If we discover that the growth and survival of this species requires a degree of interaction in the ecosysshytem that we dont provide then it may change the way we grow and harvest conifers in other places he says
Forest undergrowth survives harvesting
Harvesting trees doesnt seem to have any short-term adverse effects on the shrubs and undergrowth in southshycentral Ontario forests says botany professor Richard Reader But he cautions there isnt enough data to make predictions for the long-term impact on either the richshyness or the variety of the plant species making up the forest undergrowth
Reader has been monitoring Carolinian deciduous forests on the north shore of Lake Erie for the last five years His study supported by Ontarios Ministry of Natural Resources was intended to determine the imshypact selective cutting in these forests - that is current harvesting practices - would have on the undergrowth
This layer of vegetation is important because it conshytains some species ofplants that are only found on the shores of Lake Erie After conducting a pre-harvest assessshyment Reader selectively cut the largest most economishycally important trees remOving up to two-thirds of the trees in the forest This represents the extremes - from minimal operation to intensive cutting The ministry was interested in minimizing the impact that cutting would have on the understory growth says Reader
As it turns out there was no short-term impact he says The shrub layer and herbaceous species regenerated rapidly both in their density and in the -types of species that grew back
These preliminary findings should not be interpreted as a licence to cut up to two-thirds of available trees in forests he says The long-term implications of intensive cutting need a longer observation period

Supercomputing comes to campus
The University has entered a new league of reshysearch computing with its acquisition of a millionshydollar project supercomputer system from Silicon Graphics Canada Inc to establish a numerically intenshysive computing (NIC) faCility on campus
The faCility will allow Guelph scientists and stushydents to do large-scale research computations It will include two project supercomputers the IRIS POWER Series 4D 340S and 4D 380S Together the machines have 192 megabytes of core memory and 34 gigabytes of disk storage capacity
Many disciplines and research projects will benefit from the computing power available in the NIC faCility For example chemistry and biochemistry researchers are calculating from first principles the electronic properties of atoms and molecules Physicists are studying the molecular structure of the surface of water A project in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics involves studying surface catalysis of chemical reactions Animal and poultry scientists are doing genetic parameter estimations in livestock and landscape arshychitects are doing photorealistic rendering in their work
Under an agreement with Silicon Graphics the University received substantial discounts on equipshyment and maintenance In return the University will serve as a testing ground for Silicon equipment inshycluding a high-performance GTX graphics subsystem that will be evaluated and demonstrated at a 1991 computing conference on campus
New PhD program approved
This spring the University received final approval for a new PhD program in applied mathematics and apshyplied statistics The program offers a unique combinashytion of emphases says Prof Bill Smith Department of Mathematics and Statistics ll1cse include specializashytions in mathematical biology dynamical systems numerical analysis and optimization linear and nonshylinear models survival analysis life testing and bioassay
The program reflects current interest in the major scientific diScipl ines and recognizes the levels of scholarship and research within the department says Smith These specialties along with the uepartments state-of-the-art comp uter facilities make it one of the most advanced in the country
The department has established a unique industry link through the Math and Stats Cl inic and offers stushydents access to an advanced computer research laboratory Established in 1980 the clinic conducts reshysearch for industry sponsors develops software presents short courses and offers a consulting service Each of the problems that it tackles for industry beshycomes a teaching tool offering valuable experience to both graduate and undergraduate students
In 1983 the department installed the first undershygraduate microcomputer lab on campus and has conshytinued to upgrade equipment n le departments computer facili ties are probably unrivalled by any similar department in Canada says Smith
Faculty supervise 25 graduate students in MSc and PhD programs in the University-wide biophysics group the Guelph-Waterloo Program in Physics and the new departmental program

EC WILLIAMS OAC 34 1903-1974
OAC welcomed the Welshman
Whether it was his red hair or his Welsh ancestry Edmund C Williams OAC 34 was one of the colleges most determined and colorful students
--
Born in Wales in 1903 Williams came to Canada at m early age and worked as a farm hand before moving to the nited States With a college education ltCj his goal he inshyvested the money he earned as a construcshytion worker a lumberjack and a cowpuncher only to see it evaporate in the financial c rash of 1929
Poorer but no less determined Williams arrived at OAC in September 1929 to enrol in the associate diploma program in agriculture He found a snldent job at 25 cents an hour and talked the head of the chemistry department into Jetshyting him sleep on a cot in the basement
Its reported that Williams existed for a whole academic year on porridge cheese and stale bread liberated from the college dining room
When Williams completed the two-year program in 1931 he immediately enrolled in the intershymediate year and moved his cot to the attic of the dairy building
After graduation he returned to Britain to work at the Nationallnstilute for Research in Dairyshying He later worked for a dairy in North Wales and moved to Singapore in 1938 to become general manager of Cold Storage Creameries Ltd
His determination stood him in good stead during the Jlpanese invasion of Malaya - 1941 to 1945 - when he WlS interred in Changi A happier time followed in 1948 when he met and marshyried his wife Muriel
The couple eventlJally returned [Q the United Kingdom to retire on the Isk of Man In 1971 Williams came to Guelph for a class reunion He toured the campus with classmate Ron Greenwood OAC 34 and purchased two alumni ties ai mementos of his college days at Guelph
Williams died in 1974 leaving a bequest of nearly half a million dollars to provide scholarship awards to OAC students run ed in memory of his mother the Mary Edmunds Williams Fellowships of $4000 each are awarded annually to 12 OAC students in PhD or MSc programs
When MUliei Williams died in January 1989 a further bequest of more than S 1 million was received to provide schOlarships of $5000 a year for PhD students in OAe These awards totalling $135000 annually enhance the competitiveness of OAC departments in attracting top gradate stushydents to Guelph
Ee Williams is remembered fondly by his classmates and college And by the many graduate stushy -dents who have benefited from his determination to succeed

along with their peers We wanted to know how kids initially learn rules that we as adults know when interacting with another individual such as Dont use anothers propershyty without permission
They looked specifically at matershynal intervention when children are fighting and found that mothers freshyquently got involved in play-time conflicts and usually directed comshyments to their own child And what they said overwhelmingly supshyported the other child says Lollis
She found that conflicts over obshyjects or toys have different rules and categories Object fights erupted over concepts such as ownership and prior possession Youngsters as young as 20 months understand who owns an object she says A common claim was Its mine
Toddlers also understand the concept of prior possession which means that whoever has an object may play with it until it is given up All parents know the cry had it first An interesting fact about obshyject fights is that children fight even if there is no object or if there are 10 identical objects says Lollis
The study found that mothers generally told their own children to share objects in their possession but to respect prior ownership if it was another child who had the obshyject
Lollis says mothers should not be criticized for this inconsistency beshycause they may be balancing several social agendas at once Over and above teaching their children rules related to ownership and prior posshysession of objects mothers are also teaching concepts ofgenerosity compassion and generally how to be good hosts to others Sometimes the basic rules for entitlement can conflict with consideration for others she says
Lollis and Ross are also involved in a study on sibling interaction and rules of conduct within a family unit supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council

Are you buying strawberry-flavored dinosaurs by Barbara Chance
Ifyouve ever had to wade your way through a grocery aisle full of sugar-coated strawberry-flavored battery-operated cereal in the shape of dinosaurs to find the corn flakes youve been buying since you were old enough to solo with a shopping cart youve probably asked yourself Who needs all this
And the answer is Somebody If enough somebodies somewhere werent buying this cereal it wouldnt be sitting on the shelf says Prof Trevor Watts Department of Consumer Studies
Of course some products dont have much of a life on the shelf They become a fad for a year then slip into oblivion when a new fad comes along Kids cereals in parshyticular have a knack for passing comet-like through your friendly neighborhood grocery store says Watts Its because young people today want so much variety and change
Todays manufacturers need to
know their consumers and markets well says Watts Introducing any new product is a huge financial risk so manufacturers need to know whos going to buy their product and whether or not its going to be around for awhile If its just going to be a fad they need to be able to
plan it as a fad product and profit from it while it lasts
There is a continual effort to inshytroduce products on the market says Watts but a lot of them fail The failure rate of new food products - from original idea to being successful on the shelf - has been estimated as high as 80 per cent The biggest cause of failure is that the product doesnt fulfil a
Guelph Alumnus
need in the consumers eyes Its also a question of timing he
says Sometimes a product can be introduced before consumers are ready to accept it Twenty-five years ago a baby food was put out on test market in a package rather ilian a glass jar After it was opened it had to be refrigerated It fa iled in the test market because people couldn t believe that baby food could be good and safe if it wasnt in a glass jar Three years ago a similar concept of dehydrated baby food that sits on the shelf in a plasshytic container was introduced and apshypears to be successful The failed baby food was just 25 years too soon
Because of the high cost of introshyducing new products many manufacturers today choose simp ly to change or improve the old ones instead Thats why youll read a new and improved label on your favorite pudding or detergent every few years
Peripheral variations involve much less time and expense for reshysearch and development and much less risk for a manufacturer says
Watts But they dont necessarily sucshy
ceed either Sometimes manufacshyturers have to learn the hard way that you cant always improve on a good thing Just ask the corn chip makers who decided a great variashytion on their product would be to color the chips blue

Diploma program celebrates milestone
1976 1983 Q ~
7000 graduates and still counting
OAC reached a milestone in June when Cheryl Stanley of Bristol Que became the 7000th graduate of the diploma in agriculture program Primarily funded by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food the proshygram began in 1874 and according to these other mileshystone graduates has been picking up speed ever since

Shuttle bound Only a handful of
Canadians will ever have the chance to look at Earth the way Roberta Bondar OAC 68 will
Canadas first female astronaut Bondar will be part of a seven-memshyber Columbia shuttle mission scheduled for launch in mid-199I
When Im not taking my work shift Ill be looking out the window says the 44shyyear-old native of Sault Ste Marie Ont
As a payload specialist Bondar will carry out research acshytivities on behalf of scientists in 13 countries Her main area of interest deals with space sickness and the effect space travel has on the movement of body fluids
A graduate of Guelphs zoology program Bondar received an honorary degree from the Univershysity in June She told fellow graduates that the space program has made her more aware of how unique this planet is We need to use the knowledge gained through space science to raise the consciousshyness of whats happening to our enshyvironment on a global scale
Whats after space for Bondar Getting back to Earth both literally and figuratively she says
Being part of Canadas history is great but there are a lot of other things I want to do in my life I
started out at Guelph 22 years ago in an environmental vein and now Im corning back to it
I t was a Grade 10 science project that brought Bondar to Guelph Inshyfluenced by Rachel Carsons book Silent Spring she wanted to do a project on genetic resistance to DDT in fruit flies
I was probably 10 years too early for that project says Bondar but I was at least a month too late in starting it

Computer simulation by Doug Masters
Heading into
SPACE to look at Earth
laboratory in Sault Ste Marie conshyvinced her to look instead at an inshyfestation of the tent caterpillar Eventually they gave her a summer job at the lab and introduced her to Guelphs programs in the biological sciences
She later earned an MSc from the niversity of Western Ontario and a PhD from the University of Toronto before enrolling in medical school at McMaster University She was assistant professor of neurology in McMasters faculty of medicine when she heard a radio anshynouncement in July 1983 that Canada was planning to initiate an astronaut program
Acceptance into the astronaut program fulfilled a lifelong dream for Bondar but she acknowledges that few Canadians will be able to achieve the same dream
Canadas space program relies on launching facilities in other
countries so we dont need many astronauts she says Opportunities are much greater in the other wings of the space program
For years Canadian scientists have been acshytive in space science looking at upper atmosshyphere stars and other objects in the universe
We are world exshyperts in certain areas says Bondar We also have a fantastic reputashytion for building great communication satelshylites and for using other satellites for remote sensing (looking down on the Earth)
Canada will put up its own Earth observashytion satellite (Radarshysat) early in this
decade she says It will have radar facility to help us look through ice blocks and to invenshytory our wildlife and our forest stands
Bondar says Canada will also launch a mobile satellite comshymunications system that will help people in the North communicate with each other
Another wing focusing on space technology was responsible for the development of the Canadarm and is now working on robotics for a space station she says
Bondar has been in training for space flight since 1984 Her gruelshyling physical conditioning includes lifting weights to prepare for the extra 90 pounds of safety equipshyment that astronauts are now reshyquired to wear
A new launch escape suit was designed during NASAs safety review after the 1986 Challenger acshycident Bondar says NASA can not eliminate the potential danger of those first 2 12 minutes after liftoff but the new escape system will protect the astronauts if the orbiter is unable to make a runway landing
Despite the dangers Bondar says she feels as much trepidation about renting a car as she does about stepshyping into the shuttle Anytime you
25
have a p iece of enshygineering that you rely on other people for and your life depends on it its nerve- rackshying
To be part of the space program there arc certain dangers you have LO accept she says This is very risky business I11ese are pioneering days
Because of the high profile of the astronaut program a large part of Bondars job involshyves puhlic relations I think we astronauts have a responsibility to be very knowledgeable about the other parts of the space program and to pass on that knowledge to the general public
Always ttJJing to be efficient Roberta Bondar centre refused to study during her undergraduate _years at Guelph hecause going OVet-the same material taken in didnt make sense I had othet things 10 do But when a severe case ofmurnps kept her out Of classor several weeks she w(lSforred to learn how to study from textbooks ~iomethillg good comes outoevery negative exshyperience she says And that includes long-standing friendships with Elizabeth Waywell OAC MSc 70 left and retired professor Susan Corey right CO~I was my zoology professor and Way well was a graduate student in zoology who took me to her Gordon Stteel bome to recuperate says Bondar They rea~)I saved my year
communications has stood her in good stead she says Even as a student I had a real commitment that scienshytists should be able to communicate their ideas better
She encourages people - especially young people - to write for information posters photographs and lapel pins to the public relations branch of the Canadian Space Agency National Reshysearch Council of Canada Building M60 Montreal Road Ottawa KIA OR6
Space is uppermost in the minds of our young people because they can see it in their fu ture Bondar says

Sharing the honor
These things you are honoring me for were not done in isolation said Dr Kenneth Wells 38 on receiving the 1990 OVC Distinshyguished Alumnus award at Alumni Weekend I had the help of a very good team namely the veterinarians of
Canada many of whom are here today Wel1s did indeed work with many OVC colshy
leagues during his 19 years as veterinary directorshygeneral of Canada During his career he served 36 years with Agriculture Canadas Health of Animals Branch and is one of the few civil servants known personally by almost every prominent stock producer in the country
Andrew Smith
blacksmiths without any formal training Smith was both a veterinarian and an avid horseshyman He showed horsts unti l hI was well into his 70s says Wingate and he d ied in J9 10
Perhaps it was family tradition that brought Wingate to OVC after all
Dr Desmond Hill OVC 50 and his wife Margaret came all the way from North Yorkshire England to attend Alumni Weekend The camp us has changed he said bu t ove people are just asfriend~y as they were 40 years ago Hill is retired from the International Livestock Centre for Africa

Wildlife pathologist Ian Barker OVC 68 and MSc 70 has relieved public concern about insect-transmitted disease of potential danger to both dogs and humans
In Canada Lyme disease hysteria is far more comshymon than Lyme disease itself says Barker Canadians and their pets appear to be at very low risk of contractshying the disease he says
In an Ontario study the tick that carries the disease Ixodes dammini was found in nature at only one locashytion - Long Point on Lake Erie There is a greater risk in the coastal northeastern United States from Masshysachusetts to Delaware Minnesota Wisconsin and parts of the Pacific northwest
Lyme disease is readily treatable by antibiotics if diagshynosed early but its difficult to diagnose because it mimics other conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Bells Palsy People most prone to the disease are outdoor workers and outdoor enthusiasts
In the United States the disease has also been implishycated in arthritis and myocarditis in dogs arthritis and abortion in cattle and ophthalmic disease encephalitis and arthritis in horses
Researchers still have a lot to learn about the diagshy
~--nosis of the disease and the transmission biology of the tick says Barker The only distinctive clinical sign is a bulls-eye rash around the tick bite but only 50 to 60 per cent of infected persons develop the rash Blood tests may also be inconclusive
He is currently working on a study for Health and Welfare Canada to determine ways of preventing the disease in Canada and to gain a better understanding of the ticks biology Insect repellents long pants and shirts are the best preventive measures he says
28
S uper Match 90 sponsorship of the OVC Pet Tmst Fund is one way of showing the public that the college is serious about canine disease Passing on the knowledge gained through research is another
Over the summer pathology professor Owen Slocombe OVC 61 a specialist in parasitology has been interviewed several times about his research into heartworm - a debilitating mosquito-borne disease afshyfecting dogs
Although the disease is slowly moving northward from the United States most dogs in Canada are not at serious risk says Slocombe Heartworm is considered endemic around the cities of Montreal and Winnipeg and in lower southern Ontario along Lake Erie the Niagara region and Lake Ontario and north of Toronto around the Lake Simcoe Peterborough and Midland areas
Slocombes research at OVC is the first in the world to define the diseases transmission period He found the rate of worm development is linearly related to temperature ranging from 29 days at 18 C to only nine days at 30 C In Ontario for example the transmission period is June 1 to Oct 8
The worm initially develops in the skin and muscle and gradually moves into blood vessels asshysociated with the heart and lungs causing weakshyness and impaired breathing It can also cause
liver and kidney damage The condition is treatable but the treatment is both expensive and severe
Slocombe has monitored the disease annually since 1976 and says the prevalence in Canada has decreased because ofpreventive efforts by veterinarians One Onshytario survey found heartworm in 16 per cent of dogs not taking preventive medicine compared with one per cent in dogs that were

several hundred landowners But imagine the contribution an urban forest would make to imshyproving the environment of the city
Plant succession - U of G landscape architect professor Victor Chanasyk and botanist David Smith believe an understanding of plant dynamics is essential for those inshyvolved in land-use planning and the management of natural areas
Theyve developed a course describing the natural succession of plant life which is usually triggered by an ecological disturbance of some kind It may be catastrophic as with wildfire in Northern OntarioS boreal forest or less severe such as the gap formation caused by windfall of trees in more southerly deciduous forests
Sustainable environment shyLast year the University formed an Institute for Environmental Policy and Stewardship (IEPS) of which Arboretum director Keith Ronald
((We mustreduce the speed in which weare accelerating our evolution to extinction
later assumed directorship TIle inshystitute is committed to achieving a sustainable environment and has tarshygeted forested lands as its first priority largely because of the knowledge and research expertise in the natural and social sciences that already exists on campus It welcomes involvement by alumni and others interested in global enshyvironmental issues
Situated at The Arboretum the institute offers decision makers a neutral site and an objective viewshypoint for discussion It is also comshypiling a database of global concerns and efforts in the management of forested lands offering the opporshytunity for both economic and ecological analysis says Ronald
The Arboretum recently hosted a conference on the greening of southern Ontario IEPS offers a disshy
tance education course TIle 5000 Days that addresses a broad range of environmental concerns and has produced a discussion paper
on the management of forested lands It has also submitted a formal response to the federal governments The Green Plan - A Framework for Discussion on the Environment
While applauding the governments attempt to put the enshyvironment at the forefront of the public agenda the IEPS response says The Green Plan still places growth and development ahead of environmental preservation The catch phrase sustainable developshyment doesnt go far enough says lEPS We must reduce the speed in which we are accelerating our evolution to extinction The messhysage is a sustainable environment and our success in achieving this obshyjective will be directly proportional to our ability to get the message across
Alumni comments TIle current interest in- rcgreening southern Ontario is
-wekomeq by Peter Uhlig CBS 81 and MSc 84 A forest ccoJogist with MNR to Sault Ste Marie Uhlig says Ontarios northern environOlemsare highly resilient incoOlparison with the forests that used to exist in southern Ontario
Efforts (0 save northern timber have wide public appeal says Uhlig but hed like to see more emphasis on reforestation in unused agricultural and urban land areas in the south It would have an imm~diate and profound impact on the environment in terms of water qllality wildlife habitat erosion and cooling
The problem of prematureharvesting is being addressed by 3uchanan Prooucts inc of Thunder Bay ont a producer of construction lumber Owned by Kenneth Buchanan OAC 56 the company has initiated a program to thin mature stands of jack pine The oldest trees will be harvested individually leaving the younger stockfor another five years The program will maxishyJuize the economic value and ultimately reduce the number of
trees it takesto build a house
White spruce lodge pole pine and sub alpine tir are the breadcand-butter tree species that concern Andrea EasthamOAC 77 and MSc 84 a research sCientist with the British ~~olumbia Ministry of Forestsin Prince George Shes
working on projects aimed at improving seedling quality and suitability for the reforestation site
When it comes to the preservation of Canadas forests Lisa -Buse OAC 84 thinks many environmental advocates are fightshyIng the symptoms when they should be looking at the cause of forest destruction A project forester for MNR in TIlUnder Bay Buseworks primarily with the black spruce species to improve
reprodilction rechnologies The industry is simply responding
to public demand for wood products says Buse Demonstrators who picket paper mills carrying cardboard signs or build plywood tree houses to stop logging operations are not very convincing
Barry Diamond OAC 68 BIA director ofparks and recreashytion for the Nova Scotia Department of Llnds and Forests says people are becoming more interested in understanding the environment Not only do park visitors ask for interpretive programs but they demonstrate a willingness to get involved in park planning he says Public input into a 1988 policy review reinforced the departments long-standing policy that prohibits commercial extraction of timber within park boundaries
Environmental damage caused by current logging practices goes well beyond the loss of trees says Henry Kock OAC 77 a horticulturalist at The Arboretum I1Iese practices also destroy plant and wildlife habitats that were protected by the forest canopy allow the land to dry out and alter the environshymental conditions of nearby streams and lakes
But there is a better way says Kock who offers encourageshyment to pulp and paper operations that are using shelter belt harvesting Under this system the logger the ecologist and the botanist collaborate to decide when and where to cut About 30 per cent of the trees are left behind in stands resembling peninsulas on an ocean of clear-cut areas They reduce open areas where the wind can sweep through to cause drying and erosion Reforestation is not necessary The peninsulas slowly grow out like an amoeba until they till in the cut areas
A1ternative management practices however can not keep pace with current levels of consumption says Kock North -Americans make up eight per cent ofthe worlds population and consume 60 per cent of its resources To really make a difshyference we have to work with government industry and conshysumers to reduce our consumption offorestry prOducts

Built with wooden arches the covered rink - still sporting a natural ice surface - opened in January 19 14 and cleared $2000 in the first season It collapsed with the ti r~t heavy snowfall that fall anu was rebuilt only to collapse again in late 19 16
Undaunted the OAC athlet ic association spearheaded a project to rehui k1 the stmcture with steel arches which st ill stand today Unfortunately they reduced the span of the icc surface by about 1) feet and for more than 70 years were a constant problem for taller players who went into Ihe boards after a puck Hockey helmets might have been invented here
The cost of the thricc-bui ll rink escalated to abOllt g12000 It was financed by the sale of five-year Six-pershycent bonds No one who put money into this venture ever lost a cent says Mitchlt IL

The objective is to assist Ontario universities by promoting apshypropriate government funding policies says Wilson The first priority will be to try to reverse the current trend in reduced governshyment spending in higher education she says
According to the Council of Onshytario Univcrsiti s (COU) the universities share of total governshyment spending has declined from 59 per cent in 197778 to 45 per cent in 198990 Wilson says itsesshytimatcd that Ontario ranks ninth among the 10 provinces in terms of government support per student
Friends of Ontario niversities will also try to encourage business and individuals to become more inshyvolved in the support of universities
The group is encouraging people to question their MPPs and provinshycial candidates about university fundshying Ask what they intend to do to benefit Ontario universities she says
The GAA has supported three proposals put forth by COU for disshycussion during the provincial elecshytion campaign
The proposals include a governshyment commitment to match private gifts to universities a trust for the adshyvancement of the social scicnces and humanities and infrastructure supshyport for science and technology to rebuild stocks of scientific and techshynological equipment supporting the provinces new thrust in this area
Wilson also hopes to organize a Univer ity of Guelph group as an ann of the provincial organization For more infonnation call Alumni House 519-824-4120 Ext 21 22

A profile of artists Jane and Ron Eccles
We had the sense that everyshything is possible says artistJane Eccles Arts 70 of her student days at the University of Guelph
One gets the same feeling from Janes Patch Work canvases which now hang over the main stairway of the MacKinnon buildshying Patch Work depicts the fea shytures and the personali ties of 10 women scrambling their images to form something of a female archetype The women seem to understand each others symshybolism - they adapt and exshychange qualities with each other
The 20 canvases share the Guelph alcove with a sculpture by Walter Bachinski - the fine art professor who helped instil in Jane that feeling ofpossibilities - and a new abstract painting by her husband Ron Arts 70 Enshytitled Erratic it uses the colors of earth stone and sand to mellow strong geometric shapes
I think of myself as building structures as much as paiming pictures says Ron
The couple met and married while studying art at Guelph Ron had transferred from the Onshytario College ofArt to earn a BA Jane had been majoring in history and English - until she took classhyses in drawing and sculpture to relax from the pressure of thesis writing
My love of fine arts and for the individuals who create works of art was awakened at Guelph she says
Today the Eccles live and work in a renovated 1856 farmhouse in BowmanvilIe Ont Ron has been able to provide at -home care for their sons Ryan 10 and Bradley 6 while working at home Jane teaches art at Bowmanville High School
Jane was awarded a Marshall McLuhan Distinguished Teacher

Cedars hold on to secret of long-life Two years ago
botany professor Doug Larson was hanging over the cliff edge of the Niagara escarpment near Milshyton Ont to study lichens when he grabbed on to a secret that has surprised even the scientific community
He discovered that the gnaded halfshydead cedars growing on the cliffs are Ontarios oldest trees - some of them more than 700 years old
Larson and his colshyleagues were more than a little bit excited about the disshycovel) and the possibilities it offered for studies of past climates Not to mention the chance to find out how eastern white cedars - normally found in wet swampy areas - could survive for centuries without soil and in the extreme climatic conditions of the cliff face
The trees are still holding on to their secrets says Larson He was struck originally by their ability to grow slowly - some growth rings are only one or two cells wide Now he is equally amazed by the variability found in the ancient forest
Two 400-year-old trees growing only a few metres apart can vary in diameter from two-thirds of a metre to a few centimetres The first may have the normal 12 growth rings for every 25 centimetres ofwood whereas growth rings in the second may be only one or two cells in width
Shown as exact size tvis section of an ancient cedar shows more than 300 growth rings
Clinging to life on the edge of the Niagara escmpment the botshytom halfof tvis 625-year-old white cedar is dead but life conshytinues as the tree stretches upward
16
Its very difficult to make predictions about climatic conditions in the year 1590 when you only have two cells to look at says Larson
The dwarfed cedar is more interesting he says but the larger brother may provide more information Both are growing from cracks in the limestone cliff face They are nourished by water percolating through the porous limestone but how they got there is still just a theory he says
The perseverance of this ancient forest has generated a level of public interest that Larson hopes to harness Compared with other coniferous forests the trees are small and deformed and have little economic value This is the species used for rail fences and shingles not pulp and paper he says That means researchers can study them to explain the basic functiOning of forest ecosysshytems without stepping on anyones toes
The scientific community needs to do a better job of educating people about the dynamics of a forest says Larson The ancient cedars contradict the common pershyception that old trees are large
If we discover that the growth and survival of this species requires a degree of interaction in the ecosysshytem that we dont provide then it may change the way we grow and harvest conifers in other places he says
Forest undergrowth survives harvesting
Harvesting trees doesnt seem to have any short-term adverse effects on the shrubs and undergrowth in southshycentral Ontario forests says botany professor Richard Reader But he cautions there isnt enough data to make predictions for the long-term impact on either the richshyness or the variety of the plant species making up the forest undergrowth
Reader has been monitoring Carolinian deciduous forests on the north shore of Lake Erie for the last five years His study supported by Ontarios Ministry of Natural Resources was intended to determine the imshypact selective cutting in these forests - that is current harvesting practices - would have on the undergrowth
This layer of vegetation is important because it conshytains some species ofplants that are only found on the shores of Lake Erie After conducting a pre-harvest assessshyment Reader selectively cut the largest most economishycally important trees remOving up to two-thirds of the trees in the forest This represents the extremes - from minimal operation to intensive cutting The ministry was interested in minimizing the impact that cutting would have on the understory growth says Reader
As it turns out there was no short-term impact he says The shrub layer and herbaceous species regenerated rapidly both in their density and in the -types of species that grew back
These preliminary findings should not be interpreted as a licence to cut up to two-thirds of available trees in forests he says The long-term implications of intensive cutting need a longer observation period

Supercomputing comes to campus
The University has entered a new league of reshysearch computing with its acquisition of a millionshydollar project supercomputer system from Silicon Graphics Canada Inc to establish a numerically intenshysive computing (NIC) faCility on campus
The faCility will allow Guelph scientists and stushydents to do large-scale research computations It will include two project supercomputers the IRIS POWER Series 4D 340S and 4D 380S Together the machines have 192 megabytes of core memory and 34 gigabytes of disk storage capacity
Many disciplines and research projects will benefit from the computing power available in the NIC faCility For example chemistry and biochemistry researchers are calculating from first principles the electronic properties of atoms and molecules Physicists are studying the molecular structure of the surface of water A project in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics involves studying surface catalysis of chemical reactions Animal and poultry scientists are doing genetic parameter estimations in livestock and landscape arshychitects are doing photorealistic rendering in their work
Under an agreement with Silicon Graphics the University received substantial discounts on equipshyment and maintenance In return the University will serve as a testing ground for Silicon equipment inshycluding a high-performance GTX graphics subsystem that will be evaluated and demonstrated at a 1991 computing conference on campus
New PhD program approved
This spring the University received final approval for a new PhD program in applied mathematics and apshyplied statistics The program offers a unique combinashytion of emphases says Prof Bill Smith Department of Mathematics and Statistics ll1cse include specializashytions in mathematical biology dynamical systems numerical analysis and optimization linear and nonshylinear models survival analysis life testing and bioassay
The program reflects current interest in the major scientific diScipl ines and recognizes the levels of scholarship and research within the department says Smith These specialties along with the uepartments state-of-the-art comp uter facilities make it one of the most advanced in the country
The department has established a unique industry link through the Math and Stats Cl inic and offers stushydents access to an advanced computer research laboratory Established in 1980 the clinic conducts reshysearch for industry sponsors develops software presents short courses and offers a consulting service Each of the problems that it tackles for industry beshycomes a teaching tool offering valuable experience to both graduate and undergraduate students
In 1983 the department installed the first undershygraduate microcomputer lab on campus and has conshytinued to upgrade equipment n le departments computer facili ties are probably unrivalled by any similar department in Canada says Smith
Faculty supervise 25 graduate students in MSc and PhD programs in the University-wide biophysics group the Guelph-Waterloo Program in Physics and the new departmental program

EC WILLIAMS OAC 34 1903-1974
OAC welcomed the Welshman
Whether it was his red hair or his Welsh ancestry Edmund C Williams OAC 34 was one of the colleges most determined and colorful students
--
Born in Wales in 1903 Williams came to Canada at m early age and worked as a farm hand before moving to the nited States With a college education ltCj his goal he inshyvested the money he earned as a construcshytion worker a lumberjack and a cowpuncher only to see it evaporate in the financial c rash of 1929
Poorer but no less determined Williams arrived at OAC in September 1929 to enrol in the associate diploma program in agriculture He found a snldent job at 25 cents an hour and talked the head of the chemistry department into Jetshyting him sleep on a cot in the basement
Its reported that Williams existed for a whole academic year on porridge cheese and stale bread liberated from the college dining room
When Williams completed the two-year program in 1931 he immediately enrolled in the intershymediate year and moved his cot to the attic of the dairy building
After graduation he returned to Britain to work at the Nationallnstilute for Research in Dairyshying He later worked for a dairy in North Wales and moved to Singapore in 1938 to become general manager of Cold Storage Creameries Ltd
His determination stood him in good stead during the Jlpanese invasion of Malaya - 1941 to 1945 - when he WlS interred in Changi A happier time followed in 1948 when he met and marshyried his wife Muriel
The couple eventlJally returned [Q the United Kingdom to retire on the Isk of Man In 1971 Williams came to Guelph for a class reunion He toured the campus with classmate Ron Greenwood OAC 34 and purchased two alumni ties ai mementos of his college days at Guelph
Williams died in 1974 leaving a bequest of nearly half a million dollars to provide scholarship awards to OAC students run ed in memory of his mother the Mary Edmunds Williams Fellowships of $4000 each are awarded annually to 12 OAC students in PhD or MSc programs
When MUliei Williams died in January 1989 a further bequest of more than S 1 million was received to provide schOlarships of $5000 a year for PhD students in OAe These awards totalling $135000 annually enhance the competitiveness of OAC departments in attracting top gradate stushydents to Guelph
Ee Williams is remembered fondly by his classmates and college And by the many graduate stushy -dents who have benefited from his determination to succeed

along with their peers We wanted to know how kids initially learn rules that we as adults know when interacting with another individual such as Dont use anothers propershyty without permission
They looked specifically at matershynal intervention when children are fighting and found that mothers freshyquently got involved in play-time conflicts and usually directed comshyments to their own child And what they said overwhelmingly supshyported the other child says Lollis
She found that conflicts over obshyjects or toys have different rules and categories Object fights erupted over concepts such as ownership and prior possession Youngsters as young as 20 months understand who owns an object she says A common claim was Its mine
Toddlers also understand the concept of prior possession which means that whoever has an object may play with it until it is given up All parents know the cry had it first An interesting fact about obshyject fights is that children fight even if there is no object or if there are 10 identical objects says Lollis
The study found that mothers generally told their own children to share objects in their possession but to respect prior ownership if it was another child who had the obshyject
Lollis says mothers should not be criticized for this inconsistency beshycause they may be balancing several social agendas at once Over and above teaching their children rules related to ownership and prior posshysession of objects mothers are also teaching concepts ofgenerosity compassion and generally how to be good hosts to others Sometimes the basic rules for entitlement can conflict with consideration for others she says
Lollis and Ross are also involved in a study on sibling interaction and rules of conduct within a family unit supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council

Are you buying strawberry-flavored dinosaurs by Barbara Chance
Ifyouve ever had to wade your way through a grocery aisle full of sugar-coated strawberry-flavored battery-operated cereal in the shape of dinosaurs to find the corn flakes youve been buying since you were old enough to solo with a shopping cart youve probably asked yourself Who needs all this
And the answer is Somebody If enough somebodies somewhere werent buying this cereal it wouldnt be sitting on the shelf says Prof Trevor Watts Department of Consumer Studies
Of course some products dont have much of a life on the shelf They become a fad for a year then slip into oblivion when a new fad comes along Kids cereals in parshyticular have a knack for passing comet-like through your friendly neighborhood grocery store says Watts Its because young people today want so much variety and change
Todays manufacturers need to
know their consumers and markets well says Watts Introducing any new product is a huge financial risk so manufacturers need to know whos going to buy their product and whether or not its going to be around for awhile If its just going to be a fad they need to be able to
plan it as a fad product and profit from it while it lasts
There is a continual effort to inshytroduce products on the market says Watts but a lot of them fail The failure rate of new food products - from original idea to being successful on the shelf - has been estimated as high as 80 per cent The biggest cause of failure is that the product doesnt fulfil a
Guelph Alumnus
need in the consumers eyes Its also a question of timing he
says Sometimes a product can be introduced before consumers are ready to accept it Twenty-five years ago a baby food was put out on test market in a package rather ilian a glass jar After it was opened it had to be refrigerated It fa iled in the test market because people couldn t believe that baby food could be good and safe if it wasnt in a glass jar Three years ago a similar concept of dehydrated baby food that sits on the shelf in a plasshytic container was introduced and apshypears to be successful The failed baby food was just 25 years too soon
Because of the high cost of introshyducing new products many manufacturers today choose simp ly to change or improve the old ones instead Thats why youll read a new and improved label on your favorite pudding or detergent every few years
Peripheral variations involve much less time and expense for reshysearch and development and much less risk for a manufacturer says
Watts But they dont necessarily sucshy
ceed either Sometimes manufacshyturers have to learn the hard way that you cant always improve on a good thing Just ask the corn chip makers who decided a great variashytion on their product would be to color the chips blue

Diploma program celebrates milestone
1976 1983 Q ~
7000 graduates and still counting

Shuttle bound Only a handful of
Canadians will ever have the chance to look at Earth the way Roberta Bondar OAC 68 will
Canadas first female astronaut Bondar will be part of a seven-memshyber Columbia shuttle mission scheduled for launch in mid-199I
When Im not taking my work shift Ill be looking out the window says the 44shyyear-old native of Sault Ste Marie Ont
As a payload specialist Bondar will carry out research acshytivities on behalf of scientists in 13 countries Her main area of interest deals with space sickness and the effect space travel has on the movement of body fluids
A graduate of Guelphs zoology program Bondar received an honorary degree from the Univershysity in June She told fellow graduates that the space program has made her more aware of how unique this planet is We need to use the knowledge gained through space science to raise the consciousshyness of whats happening to our enshyvironment on a global scale
Whats after space for Bondar Getting back to Earth both literally and figuratively she says
Being part of Canadas history is great but there are a lot of other things I want to do in my life I
started out at Guelph 22 years ago in an environmental vein and now Im corning back to it
I t was a Grade 10 science project that brought Bondar to Guelph Inshyfluenced by Rachel Carsons book Silent Spring she wanted to do a project on genetic resistance to DDT in fruit flies
I was probably 10 years too early for that project says Bondar but I was at least a month too late in starting it

Computer simulation by Doug Masters
Heading into
SPACE to look at Earth
laboratory in Sault Ste Marie conshyvinced her to look instead at an inshyfestation of the tent caterpillar Eventually they gave her a summer job at the lab and introduced her to Guelphs programs in the biological sciences
She later earned an MSc from the niversity of Western Ontario and a PhD from the University of Toronto before enrolling in medical school at McMaster University She was assistant professor of neurology in McMasters faculty of medicine when she heard a radio anshynouncement in July 1983 that Canada was planning to initiate an astronaut program
Acceptance into the astronaut program fulfilled a lifelong dream for Bondar but she acknowledges that few Canadians will be able to achieve the same dream
Canadas space program relies on launching facilities in other
countries so we dont need many astronauts she says Opportunities are much greater in the other wings of the space program
For years Canadian scientists have been acshytive in space science looking at upper atmosshyphere stars and other objects in the universe
We are world exshyperts in certain areas says Bondar We also have a fantastic reputashytion for building great communication satelshylites and for using other satellites for remote sensing (looking down on the Earth)
Canada will put up its own Earth observashytion satellite (Radarshysat) early in this
decade she says It will have radar facility to help us look through ice blocks and to invenshytory our wildlife and our forest stands
Bondar says Canada will also launch a mobile satellite comshymunications system that will help people in the North communicate with each other
Another wing focusing on space technology was responsible for the development of the Canadarm and is now working on robotics for a space station she says
Bondar has been in training for space flight since 1984 Her gruelshyling physical conditioning includes lifting weights to prepare for the extra 90 pounds of safety equipshyment that astronauts are now reshyquired to wear
A new launch escape suit was designed during NASAs safety review after the 1986 Challenger acshycident Bondar says NASA can not eliminate the potential danger of those first 2 12 minutes after liftoff but the new escape system will protect the astronauts if the orbiter is unable to make a runway landing
Despite the dangers Bondar says she feels as much trepidation about renting a car as she does about stepshyping into the shuttle Anytime you
25
have a p iece of enshygineering that you rely on other people for and your life depends on it its nerve- rackshying
To be part of the space program there arc certain dangers you have LO accept she says This is very risky business I11ese are pioneering days
Because of the high profile of the astronaut program a large part of Bondars job involshyves puhlic relations I think we astronauts have a responsibility to be very knowledgeable about the other parts of the space program and to pass on that knowledge to the general public
Always ttJJing to be efficient Roberta Bondar centre refused to study during her undergraduate _years at Guelph hecause going OVet-the same material taken in didnt make sense I had othet things 10 do But when a severe case ofmurnps kept her out Of classor several weeks she w(lSforred to learn how to study from textbooks ~iomethillg good comes outoevery negative exshyperience she says And that includes long-standing friendships with Elizabeth Waywell OAC MSc 70 left and retired professor Susan Corey right CO~I was my zoology professor and Way well was a graduate student in zoology who took me to her Gordon Stteel bome to recuperate says Bondar They rea~)I saved my year
communications has stood her in good stead she says Even as a student I had a real commitment that scienshytists should be able to communicate their ideas better
She encourages people - especially young people - to write for information posters photographs and lapel pins to the public relations branch of the Canadian Space Agency National Reshysearch Council of Canada Building M60 Montreal Road Ottawa KIA OR6

Angela Wingate veterinarian says Wingate She and her husbandJohn Whelan now operate Whelan Farms at Troy Ont where they train and race standardbreds Wingate also works at the Park Road Animal Hospital in Brantford
She is the second ofAndrew Smiths descendants to attend OVe His son King Smith earned a veterinary degree and taught courses at the coHege from 1897 until it moved to Guelph in 1922 The younger Smith then went on to medical
Sharing the honor
These things you are honoring me for were not done in isolation said Dr Kenneth Wells 38 on receiving the 1990 OVC Distinshyguished Alumnus award at Alumni Weekend I had the help of a very good team namely the veterinarians of
Canada many of whom are here today Wel1s did indeed work with many OVC colshy
leagues during his 19 years as veterinary directorshygeneral of Canada During his career he served 36 years with Agriculture Canadas Health of Animals Branch and is one of the few civil servants known personally by almost every prominent stock producer in the country
Andrew Smith

Perhaps it was family tradition that brought Wingate to OVC after all

Wildlife pathologist Ian Barker OVC 68 and MSc 70 has relieved public concern about insect-transmitted disease of potential danger to both dogs and humans
In Canada Lyme disease hysteria is far more comshymon than Lyme disease itself says Barker Canadians and their pets appear to be at very low risk of contractshying the disease he says
In an Ontario study the tick that carries the disease Ixodes dammini was found in nature at only one locashytion - Long Point on Lake Erie There is a greater risk in the coastal northeastern United States from Masshysachusetts to Delaware Minnesota Wisconsin and parts of the Pacific northwest
Lyme disease is readily treatable by antibiotics if diagshynosed early but its difficult to diagnose because it mimics other conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Bells Palsy People most prone to the disease are outdoor workers and outdoor enthusiasts
In the United States the disease has also been implishycated in arthritis and myocarditis in dogs arthritis and abortion in cattle and ophthalmic disease encephalitis and arthritis in horses
Researchers still have a lot to learn about the diagshy
~--nosis of the disease and the transmission biology of the tick says Barker The only distinctive clinical sign is a bulls-eye rash around the tick bite but only 50 to 60 per cent of infected persons develop the rash Blood tests may also be inconclusive
He is currently working on a study for Health and Welfare Canada to determine ways of preventing the disease in Canada and to gain a better understanding of the ticks biology Insect repellents long pants and shirts are the best preventive measures he says
28
S uper Match 90 sponsorship of the OVC Pet Tmst Fund is one way of showing the public that the college is serious about canine disease Passing on the knowledge gained through research is another
Over the summer pathology professor Owen Slocombe OVC 61 a specialist in parasitology has been interviewed several times about his research into heartworm - a debilitating mosquito-borne disease afshyfecting dogs
Although the disease is slowly moving northward from the United States most dogs in Canada are not at serious risk says Slocombe Heartworm is considered endemic around the cities of Montreal and Winnipeg and in lower southern Ontario along Lake Erie the Niagara region and Lake Ontario and north of Toronto around the Lake Simcoe Peterborough and Midland areas
Slocombes research at OVC is the first in the world to define the diseases transmission period He found the rate of worm development is linearly related to temperature ranging from 29 days at 18 C to only nine days at 30 C In Ontario for example the transmission period is June 1 to Oct 8
The worm initially develops in the skin and muscle and gradually moves into blood vessels asshysociated with the heart and lungs causing weakshyness and impaired breathing It can also cause
liver and kidney damage The condition is treatable but the treatment is both expensive and severe
Slocombe has monitored the disease annually since 1976 and says the prevalence in Canada has decreased because ofpreventive efforts by veterinarians One Onshytario survey found heartworm in 16 per cent of dogs not taking preventive medicine compared with one per cent in dogs that were

Built with wooden arches the covered rink - still sporting a natural ice surface - opened in January 19 14 and cleared $2000 in the first season It collapsed with the ti r~t heavy snowfall that fall anu was rebuilt only to collapse again in late 19 16
Undaunted the OAC athlet ic association spearheaded a project to rehui k1 the stmcture with steel arches which st ill stand today Unfortunately they reduced the span of the icc surface by about 1) feet and for more than 70 years were a constant problem for taller players who went into Ihe boards after a puck Hockey helmets might have been invented here
The cost of the thricc-bui ll rink escalated to abOllt g12000 It was financed by the sale of five-year Six-pershycent bonds No one who put money into this venture ever lost a cent says Mitchlt IL

111at continuing fascination with the tale mem[ there was a lot of interest among colshyleagues to submit essays for the collection says Graham He wamed to publish it in 1987 the bicentenary of Beckfords hirth but it took until this year to reach bookstands
He says both collections should interest the general horror story reader especially in Canada Canadians have a particularly strong taste for horror which Graham atshytrihutes partly to the long cold dark winters

Lobby group formed
niversity alumni from five major Ontario universitics - Guelph Queens Toronto Waterloo and Western - ha e joined forces to orshyganize a citizens group to lobby the Ontario government for more fu ndshying for universities
Fri middot nds of Ontario niversities is the b ginning of a pennanent lobby group representing the intershycsts of universities says Lisa Wilson HAFA 84 president of the HAFA Alumni Association
The objective is to assist Ontario universities by promoting apshypropriate government funding policies says Wilson The first priority will be to try to reverse the current trend in reduced governshyment spending in higher education she says
According to the Council of Onshytario Univcrsiti s (COU) the universities share of total governshyment spending has declined from 59 per cent in 197778 to 45 per cent in 198990 Wilson says itsesshytimatcd that Ontario ranks ninth among the 10 provinces in terms of government support per student
Friends of Ontario niversities will also try to encourage business and individuals to become more inshyvolved in the support of universities
The group is encouraging people to question their MPPs and provinshycial candidates about university fundshying Ask what they intend to do to benefit Ontario universities she says
The GAA has supported three proposals put forth by COU for disshycussion during the provincial elecshytion campaign
The proposals include a governshyment commitment to match private gifts to universities a trust for the adshyvancement of the social scicnces and humanities and infrastructure supshyport for science and technology to rebuild stocks of scientific and techshynological equipment supporting the provinces new thrust in this area
Wilson also hopes to organize a Univer ity of Guelph group as an ann of the provincial organization For more infonnation call Alumni House 519-824-4120 Ext 21 22

A profile of artists Jane and Ron Eccles
We had the sense that everyshything is possible says artistJane Eccles Arts 70 of her student days at the University of Guelph
One gets the same feeling from Janes Patch Work canvases which now hang over the main stairway of the MacKinnon buildshying Patch Work depicts the fea shytures and the personali ties of 10 women scrambling their images to form something of a female archetype The women seem to understand each others symshybolism - they adapt and exshychange qualities with each other

Cedars hold on to secret of long-life Two years ago
botany professor Doug Larson was hanging over the cliff edge of the Niagara escarpment near Milshyton Ont to study lichens when he grabbed on to a secret that has surprised even the scientific community
He discovered that the gnaded halfshydead cedars growing on the cliffs are Ontarios oldest trees - some of them more than 700 years old
Larson and his colshyleagues were more than a little bit excited about the disshycovel) and the possibilities it offered for studies of past climates Not to mention the chance to find out how eastern white cedars - normally found in wet swampy areas - could survive for centuries without soil and in the extreme climatic conditions of the cliff face
The trees are still holding on to their secrets says Larson He was struck originally by their ability to grow slowly - some growth rings are only one or two cells wide Now he is equally amazed by the variability found in the ancient forest
Two 400-year-old trees growing only a few metres apart can vary in diameter from two-thirds of a metre to a few centimetres The first may have the normal 12 growth rings for every 25 centimetres ofwood whereas growth rings in the second may be only one or two cells in width
Shown as exact size tvis section of an ancient cedar shows more than 300 growth rings
Clinging to life on the edge of the Niagara escmpment the botshytom halfof tvis 625-year-old white cedar is dead but life conshytinues as the tree stretches upward
16
Its very difficult to make predictions about climatic conditions in the year 1590 when you only have two cells to look at says Larson
The dwarfed cedar is more interesting he says but the larger brother may provide more information Both are growing from cracks in the limestone cliff face They are nourished by water percolating through the porous limestone but how they got there is still just a theory he says
The perseverance of this ancient forest has generated a level of public interest that Larson hopes to harness Compared with other coniferous forests the trees are small and deformed and have little economic value This is the species used for rail fences and shingles not pulp and paper he says That means researchers can study them to explain the basic functiOning of forest ecosysshytems without stepping on anyones toes
The scientific community needs to do a better job of educating people about the dynamics of a forest says Larson The ancient cedars contradict the common pershyception that old trees are large
If we discover that the growth and survival of this species requires a degree of interaction in the ecosysshytem that we dont provide then it may change the way we grow and harvest conifers in other places he says
Forest undergrowth survives harvesting
Harvesting trees doesnt seem to have any short-term adverse effects on the shrubs and undergrowth in southshycentral Ontario forests says botany professor Richard Reader But he cautions there isnt enough data to make predictions for the long-term impact on either the richshyness or the variety of the plant species making up the forest undergrowth
Reader has been monitoring Carolinian deciduous forests on the north shore of Lake Erie for the last five years His study supported by Ontarios Ministry of Natural Resources was intended to determine the imshypact selective cutting in these forests - that is current harvesting practices - would have on the undergrowth
This layer of vegetation is important because it conshytains some species ofplants that are only found on the shores of Lake Erie After conducting a pre-harvest assessshyment Reader selectively cut the largest most economishycally important trees remOving up to two-thirds of the trees in the forest This represents the extremes - from minimal operation to intensive cutting The ministry was interested in minimizing the impact that cutting would have on the understory growth says Reader
As it turns out there was no short-term impact he says The shrub layer and herbaceous species regenerated rapidly both in their density and in the -types of species that grew back
These preliminary findings should not be interpreted as a licence to cut up to two-thirds of available trees in forests he says The long-term implications of intensive cutting need a longer observation period

Supercomputing comes to campus
The University has entered a new league of reshysearch computing with its acquisition of a millionshydollar project supercomputer system from Silicon Graphics Canada Inc to establish a numerically intenshysive computing (NIC) faCility on campus
The faCility will allow Guelph scientists and stushydents to do large-scale research computations It will include two project supercomputers the IRIS POWER Series 4D 340S and 4D 380S Together the machines have 192 megabytes of core memory and 34 gigabytes of disk storage capacity
Many disciplines and research projects will benefit from the computing power available in the NIC faCility For example chemistry and biochemistry researchers are calculating from first principles the electronic properties of atoms and molecules Physicists are studying the molecular structure of the surface of water A project in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics involves studying surface catalysis of chemical reactions Animal and poultry scientists are doing genetic parameter estimations in livestock and landscape arshychitects are doing photorealistic rendering in their work
Under an agreement with Silicon Graphics the University received substantial discounts on equipshyment and maintenance In return the University will serve as a testing ground for Silicon equipment inshycluding a high-performance GTX graphics subsystem that will be evaluated and demonstrated at a 1991 computing conference on campus
New PhD program approved
This spring the University received final approval for a new PhD program in applied mathematics and apshyplied statistics The program offers a unique combinashytion of emphases says Prof Bill Smith Department of Mathematics and Statistics ll1cse include specializashytions in mathematical biology dynamical systems numerical analysis and optimization linear and nonshylinear models survival analysis life testing and bioassay
The program reflects current interest in the major scientific diScipl ines and recognizes the levels of scholarship and research within the department says Smith These specialties along with the uepartments state-of-the-art comp uter facilities make it one of the most advanced in the country
The department has established a unique industry link through the Math and Stats Cl inic and offers stushydents access to an advanced computer research laboratory Established in 1980 the clinic conducts reshysearch for industry sponsors develops software presents short courses and offers a consulting service Each of the problems that it tackles for industry beshycomes a teaching tool offering valuable experience to both graduate and undergraduate students
In 1983 the department installed the first undershygraduate microcomputer lab on campus and has conshytinued to upgrade equipment n le departments computer facili ties are probably unrivalled by any similar department in Canada says Smith
Faculty supervise 25 graduate students in MSc and PhD programs in the University-wide biophysics group the Guelph-Waterloo Program in Physics and the new departmental program

EC WILLIAMS OAC 34 1903-1974
OAC welcomed the Welshman
Whether it was his red hair or his Welsh ancestry Edmund C Williams OAC 34 was one of the colleges most determined and colorful students
--
Born in Wales in 1903 Williams came to Canada at m early age and worked as a farm hand before moving to the nited States With a college education ltCj his goal he inshyvested the money he earned as a construcshytion worker a lumberjack and a cowpuncher only to see it evaporate in the financial c rash of 1929
Poorer but no less determined Williams arrived at OAC in September 1929 to enrol in the associate diploma program in agriculture He found a snldent job at 25 cents an hour and talked the head of the chemistry department into Jetshyting him sleep on a cot in the basement
Its reported that Williams existed for a whole academic year on porridge cheese and stale bread liberated from the college dining room
When Williams completed the two-year program in 1931 he immediately enrolled in the intershymediate year and moved his cot to the attic of the dairy building
After graduation he returned to Britain to work at the Nationallnstilute for Research in Dairyshying He later worked for a dairy in North Wales and moved to Singapore in 1938 to become general manager of Cold Storage Creameries Ltd
His determination stood him in good stead during the Jlpanese invasion of Malaya - 1941 to 1945 - when he WlS interred in Changi A happier time followed in 1948 when he met and marshyried his wife Muriel
The couple eventlJally returned [Q the United Kingdom to retire on the Isk of Man In 1971 Williams came to Guelph for a class reunion He toured the campus with classmate Ron Greenwood OAC 34 and purchased two alumni ties ai mementos of his college days at Guelph
Williams died in 1974 leaving a bequest of nearly half a million dollars to provide scholarship awards to OAC students run ed in memory of his mother the Mary Edmunds Williams Fellowships of $4000 each are awarded annually to 12 OAC students in PhD or MSc programs
When MUliei Williams died in January 1989 a further bequest of more than S 1 million was received to provide schOlarships of $5000 a year for PhD students in OAe These awards totalling $135000 annually enhance the competitiveness of OAC departments in attracting top gradate stushydents to Guelph
Ee Williams is remembered fondly by his classmates and college And by the many graduate stushy -dents who have benefited from his determination to succeed

along with their peers We wanted to know how kids initially learn rules that we as adults know when interacting with another individual such as Dont use anothers propershyty without permission
They looked specifically at matershynal intervention when children are fighting and found that mothers freshyquently got involved in play-time conflicts and usually directed comshyments to their own child And what they said overwhelmingly supshyported the other child says Lollis
She found that conflicts over obshyjects or toys have different rules and categories Object fights erupted over concepts such as ownership and prior possession Youngsters as young as 20 months understand who owns an object she says A common claim was Its mine
Toddlers also understand the concept of prior possession which means that whoever has an object may play with it until it is given up All parents know the cry had it first An interesting fact about obshyject fights is that children fight even if there is no object or if there are 10 identical objects says Lollis
The study found that mothers generally told their own children to share objects in their possession but to respect prior ownership if it was another child who had the obshyject
Lollis says mothers should not be criticized for this inconsistency beshycause they may be balancing several social agendas at once Over and above teaching their children rules related to ownership and prior posshysession of objects mothers are also teaching concepts ofgenerosity compassion and generally how to be good hosts to others Sometimes the basic rules for entitlement can conflict with consideration for others she says
Lollis and Ross are also involved in a study on sibling interaction and rules of conduct within a family unit supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council

Are you buying strawberry-flavored dinosaurs by Barbara Chance
Ifyouve ever had to wade your way through a grocery aisle full of sugar-coated strawberry-flavored battery-operated cereal in the shape of dinosaurs to find the corn flakes youve been buying since you were old enough to solo with a shopping cart youve probably asked yourself Who needs all this
And the answer is Somebody If enough somebodies somewhere werent buying this cereal it wouldnt be sitting on the shelf says Prof Trevor Watts Department of Consumer Studies
Of course some products dont have much of a life on the shelf They become a fad for a year then slip into oblivion when a new fad comes along Kids cereals in parshyticular have a knack for passing comet-like through your friendly neighborhood grocery store says Watts Its because young people today want so much variety and change
Todays manufacturers need to
know their consumers and markets well says Watts Introducing any new product is a huge financial risk so manufacturers need to know whos going to buy their product and whether or not its going to be around for awhile If its just going to be a fad they need to be able to
plan it as a fad product and profit from it while it lasts
There is a continual effort to inshytroduce products on the market says Watts but a lot of them fail The failure rate of new food products - from original idea to being successful on the shelf - has been estimated as high as 80 per cent The biggest cause of failure is that the product doesnt fulfil a
Guelph Alumnus
need in the consumers eyes Its also a question of timing he
says Sometimes a product can be introduced before consumers are ready to accept it Twenty-five years ago a baby food was put out on test market in a package rather ilian a glass jar After it was opened it had to be refrigerated It fa iled in the test market because people couldn t believe that baby food could be good and safe if it wasnt in a glass jar Three years ago a similar concept of dehydrated baby food that sits on the shelf in a plasshytic container was introduced and apshypears to be successful The failed baby food was just 25 years too soon
Because of the high cost of introshyducing new products many manufacturers today choose simp ly to change or improve the old ones instead Thats why youll read a new and improved label on your favorite pudding or detergent every few years
Peripheral variations involve much less time and expense for reshysearch and development and much less risk for a manufacturer says
Watts But they dont necessarily sucshy
ceed either Sometimes manufacshyturers have to learn the hard way that you cant always improve on a good thing Just ask the corn chip makers who decided a great variashytion on their product would be to color the chips blue

Diploma program celebrates milestone
1976 1983 Q ~
7000 graduates and still counting
OAC reached a milestone in June when Cheryl Stanley of Bristol Que became the 7000th graduate of the diploma in agriculture program Primarily funded by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food the proshygram began in 1874 and according to these other mileshystone graduates has been picking up speed ever since

Shuttle bound Only a handful of
Canadians will ever have the chance to look at Earth the way Roberta Bondar OAC 68 will
Canadas first female astronaut Bondar will be part of a seven-memshyber Columbia shuttle mission scheduled for launch in mid-199I
When Im not taking my work shift Ill be looking out the window says the 44shyyear-old native of Sault Ste Marie Ont
As a payload specialist Bondar will carry out research acshytivities on behalf of scientists in 13 countries Her main area of interest deals with space sickness and the effect space travel has on the movement of body fluids
A graduate of Guelphs zoology program Bondar received an honorary degree from the Univershysity in June She told fellow graduates that the space program has made her more aware of how unique this planet is We need to use the knowledge gained through space science to raise the consciousshyness of whats happening to our enshyvironment on a global scale
Whats after space for Bondar Getting back to Earth both literally and figuratively she says
Being part of Canadas history is great but there are a lot of other things I want to do in my life I
started out at Guelph 22 years ago in an environmental vein and now Im corning back to it
I t was a Grade 10 science project that brought Bondar to Guelph Inshyfluenced by Rachel Carsons book Silent Spring she wanted to do a project on genetic resistance to DDT in fruit flies
I was probably 10 years too early for that project says Bondar but I was at least a month too late in starting it

Computer simulation by Doug Masters
Heading into
SPACE to look at Earth
laboratory in Sault Ste Marie conshyvinced her to look instead at an inshyfestation of the tent caterpillar Eventually they gave her a summer job at the lab and introduced her to Guelphs programs in the biological sciences
She later earned an MSc from the niversity of Western Ontario and a PhD from the University of Toronto before enrolling in medical school at McMaster University She was assistant professor of neurology in McMasters faculty of medicine when she heard a radio anshynouncement in July 1983 that Canada was planning to initiate an astronaut program
Acceptance into the astronaut program fulfilled a lifelong dream for Bondar but she acknowledges that few Canadians will be able to achieve the same dream
Canadas space program relies on launching facilities in other
countries so we dont need many astronauts she says Opportunities are much greater in the other wings of the space program
For years Canadian scientists have been acshytive in space science looking at upper atmosshyphere stars and other objects in the universe
We are world exshyperts in certain areas says Bondar We also have a fantastic reputashytion for building great communication satelshylites and for using other satellites for remote sensing (looking down on the Earth)
Canada will put up its own Earth observashytion satellite (Radarshysat) early in this
decade she says It will have radar facility to help us look through ice blocks and to invenshytory our wildlife and our forest stands
Bondar says Canada will also launch a mobile satellite comshymunications system that will help people in the North communicate with each other
Another wing focusing on space technology was responsible for the development of the Canadarm and is now working on robotics for a space station she says
Bondar has been in training for space flight since 1984 Her gruelshyling physical conditioning includes lifting weights to prepare for the extra 90 pounds of safety equipshyment that astronauts are now reshyquired to wear
A new launch escape suit was designed during NASAs safety review after the 1986 Challenger acshycident Bondar says NASA can not eliminate the potential danger of those first 2 12 minutes after liftoff but the new escape system will protect the astronauts if the orbiter is unable to make a runway landing
Despite the dangers Bondar says she feels as much trepidation about renting a car as she does about stepshyping into the shuttle Anytime you
25
have a p iece of enshygineering that you rely on other people for and your life depends on it its nerve- rackshying
To be part of the space program there arc certain dangers you have LO accept she says This is very risky business I11ese are pioneering days
Because of the high profile of the astronaut program a large part of Bondars job involshyves puhlic relations I think we astronauts have a responsibility to be very knowledgeable about the other parts of the space program and to pass on that knowledge to the general public
Always ttJJing to be efficient Roberta Bondar centre refused to study during her undergraduate _years at Guelph hecause going OVet-the same material taken in didnt make sense I had othet things 10 do But when a severe case ofmurnps kept her out Of classor several weeks she w(lSforred to learn how to study from textbooks ~iomethillg good comes outoevery negative exshyperience she says And that includes long-standing friendships with Elizabeth Waywell OAC MSc 70 left and retired professor Susan Corey right CO~I was my zoology professor and Way well was a graduate student in zoology who took me to her Gordon Stteel bome to recuperate says Bondar They rea~)I saved my year
communications has stood her in good stead she says Even as a student I had a real commitment that scienshytists should be able to communicate their ideas better
She encourages people - especially young people - to write for information posters photographs and lapel pins to the public relations branch of the Canadian Space Agency National Reshysearch Council of Canada Building M60 Montreal Road Ottawa KIA OR6
Space is uppermost in the minds of our young people because they can see it in their fu ture Bondar says

Sharing the honor
These things you are honoring me for were not done in isolation said Dr Kenneth Wells 38 on receiving the 1990 OVC Distinshyguished Alumnus award at Alumni Weekend I had the help of a very good team namely the veterinarians of
Canada many of whom are here today Wel1s did indeed work with many OVC colshy
leagues during his 19 years as veterinary directorshygeneral of Canada During his career he served 36 years with Agriculture Canadas Health of Animals Branch and is one of the few civil servants known personally by almost every prominent stock producer in the country
Andrew Smith

Wildlife pathologist Ian Barker OVC 68 and MSc 70 has relieved public concern about insect-transmitted disease of potential danger to both dogs and humans
In Canada Lyme disease hysteria is far more comshymon than Lyme disease itself says Barker Canadians and their pets appear to be at very low risk of contractshying the disease he says
In an Ontario study the tick that carries the disease Ixodes dammini was found in nature at only one locashytion - Long Point on Lake Erie There is a greater risk in the coastal northeastern United States from Masshysachusetts to Delaware Minnesota Wisconsin and parts of the Pacific northwest
Lyme disease is readily treatable by antibiotics if diagshynosed early but its difficult to diagnose because it mimics other conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Bells Palsy People most prone to the disease are outdoor workers and outdoor enthusiasts
In the United States the disease has also been implishycated in arthritis and myocarditis in dogs arthritis and abortion in cattle and ophthalmic disease encephalitis and arthritis in horses
Researchers still have a lot to learn about the diagshy
~--nosis of the disease and the transmission biology of the tick says Barker The only distinctive clinical sign is a bulls-eye rash around the tick bite but only 50 to 60 per cent of infected persons develop the rash Blood tests may also be inconclusive
He is currently working on a study for Health and Welfare Canada to determine ways of preventing the disease in Canada and to gain a better understanding of the ticks biology Insect repellents long pants and shirts are the best preventive measures he says
28
S uper Match 90 sponsorship of the OVC Pet Tmst Fund is one way of showing the public that the college is serious about canine disease Passing on the knowledge gained through research is another
Over the summer pathology professor Owen Slocombe OVC 61 a specialist in parasitology has been interviewed several times about his research into heartworm - a debilitating mosquito-borne disease afshyfecting dogs
Although the disease is slowly moving northward from the United States most dogs in Canada are not at serious risk says Slocombe Heartworm is considered endemic around the cities of Montreal and Winnipeg and in lower southern Ontario along Lake Erie the Niagara region and Lake Ontario and north of Toronto around the Lake Simcoe Peterborough and Midland areas
Slocombes research at OVC is the first in the world to define the diseases transmission period He found the rate of worm development is linearly related to temperature ranging from 29 days at 18 C to only nine days at 30 C In Ontario for example the transmission period is June 1 to Oct 8
The worm initially develops in the skin and muscle and gradually moves into blood vessels asshysociated with the heart and lungs causing weakshyness and impaired breathing It can also cause
liver and kidney damage The condition is treatable but the treatment is both expensive and severe
Slocombe has monitored the disease annually since 1976 and says the prevalence in Canada has decreased because ofpreventive efforts by veterinarians One Onshytario survey found heartworm in 16 per cent of dogs not taking preventive medicine compared with one per cent in dogs that were

TIle soon-to middothe WF Mitchell Athletics Ce-ntre started out as an olltdoor skating rink says Mitchell In ] 907 OAC 5tudmls decided the rin k should be cove red so they col lected S2= promis~()ry notes from students and graduates and began construction in 19 12 when the fu nd had reached g1 200
Built with wooden arches the covered rink - still sporting a natural ice surface - opened in January 19 14 and cleared $2000 in the first season It collapsed with the ti r~t heavy snowfall that fall anu was rebuilt only to collapse again in late 19 16
Undaunted the OAC athlet ic association spearheaded a project to rehui k1 the stmcture with steel arches which st ill stand today Unfortunately they reduced the span of the icc surface by about 1) feet and for more than 70 years were a constant problem for taller players who went into Ihe boards after a puck Hockey helmets might have been invented here
The cost of the thricc-bui ll rink escalated to abOllt g12000 It was financed by the sale of five-year Six-pershycent bonds No one who put money into this venture ever lost a cent says Mitchlt IL

Lobby group formed
niversity alumni from five major Ontario universitics - Guelph Queens Toronto Waterloo and Western - ha e joined forces to orshyganize a citizens group to lobby the Ontario government for more fu ndshying for universities
Fri middot nds of Ontario niversities is the b ginning of a pennanent lobby group representing the intershycsts of universities says Lisa Wilson HAFA 84 president of the HAFA Alumni Association
The objective is to assist Ontario universities by promoting apshypropriate government funding policies says Wilson The first priority will be to try to reverse the current trend in reduced governshyment spending in higher education she says
According to the Council of Onshytario Univcrsiti s (COU) the universities share of total governshyment spending has declined from 59 per cent in 197778 to 45 per cent in 198990 Wilson says itsesshytimatcd that Ontario ranks ninth among the 10 provinces in terms of government support per student
Friends of Ontario niversities will also try to encourage business and individuals to become more inshyvolved in the support of universities
The group is encouraging people to question their MPPs and provinshycial candidates about university fundshying Ask what they intend to do to benefit Ontario universities she says
The GAA has supported three proposals put forth by COU for disshycussion during the provincial elecshytion campaign
The proposals include a governshyment commitment to match private gifts to universities a trust for the adshyvancement of the social scicnces and humanities and infrastructure supshyport for science and technology to rebuild stocks of scientific and techshynological equipment supporting the provinces new thrust in this area
Wilson also hopes to organize a Univer ity of Guelph group as an ann of the provincial organization For more infonnation call Alumni House 519-824-4120 Ext 21 22

A profile of artists Jane and Ron Eccles
We had the sense that everyshything is possible says artistJane Eccles Arts 70 of her student days at the University of Guelph
One gets the same feeling from Janes Patch Work canvases which now hang over the main stairway of the MacKinnon buildshying Patch Work depicts the fea shytures and the personali ties of 10 women scrambling their images to form something of a female archetype The women seem to understand each others symshybolism - they adapt and exshychange qualities with each other
The 20 canvases share the Guelph alcove with a sculpture by Walter Bachinski - the fine art professor who helped instil in Jane that feeling ofpossibilities - and a new abstract painting by her husband Ron Arts 70 Enshytitled Erratic it uses the colors of earth stone and sand to mellow strong geometric shapes
I think of myself as building structures as much as paiming pictures says Ron
The couple met and married while studying art at Guelph Ron had transferred from the Onshytario College ofArt to earn a BA Jane had been majoring in history and English - until she took classhyses in drawing and sculpture to relax from the pressure of thesis writing
My love of fine arts and for the individuals who create works of art was awakened at Guelph she says
Today the Eccles live and work in a renovated 1856 farmhouse in BowmanvilIe Ont Ron has been able to provide at -home care for their sons Ryan 10 and Bradley 6 while working at home Jane teaches art at Bowmanville High School
Jane was awarded a Marshall McLuhan Distinguished Teacher

Cedars hold on to secret of long-life Two years ago
botany professor Doug Larson was hanging over the cliff edge of the Niagara escarpment near Milshyton Ont to study lichens when he grabbed on to a secret that has surprised even the scientific community
He discovered that the gnaded halfshydead cedars growing on the cliffs are Ontarios oldest trees - some of them more than 700 years old
Larson and his colshyleagues were more than a little bit excited about the disshycovel) and the possibilities it offered for studies of past climates Not to mention the chance to find out how eastern white cedars - normally found in wet swampy areas - could survive for centuries without soil and in the extreme climatic conditions of the cliff face
The trees are still holding on to their secrets says Larson He was struck originally by their ability to grow slowly - some growth rings are only one or two cells wide Now he is equally amazed by the variability found in the ancient forest
Two 400-year-old trees growing only a few metres apart can vary in diameter from two-thirds of a metre to a few centimetres The first may have the normal 12 growth rings for every 25 centimetres ofwood whereas growth rings in the second may be only one or two cells in width
Shown as exact size tvis section of an ancient cedar shows more than 300 growth rings
Clinging to life on the edge of the Niagara escmpment the botshytom halfof tvis 625-year-old white cedar is dead but life conshytinues as the tree stretches upward
16
Its very difficult to make predictions about climatic conditions in the year 1590 when you only have two cells to look at says Larson
The dwarfed cedar is more interesting he says but the larger brother may provide more information Both are growing from cracks in the limestone cliff face They are nourished by water percolating through the porous limestone but how they got there is still just a theory he says
The perseverance of this ancient forest has generated a level of public interest that Larson hopes to harness Compared with other coniferous forests the trees are small and deformed and have little economic value This is the species used for rail fences and shingles not pulp and paper he says That means researchers can study them to explain the basic functiOning of forest ecosysshytems without stepping on anyones toes
The scientific community needs to do a better job of educating people about the dynamics of a forest says Larson The ancient cedars contradict the common pershyception that old trees are large
If we discover that the growth and survival of this species requires a degree of interaction in the ecosysshytem that we dont provide then it may change the way we grow and harvest conifers in other places he says
Forest undergrowth survives harvesting
Harvesting trees doesnt seem to have any short-term adverse effects on the shrubs and undergrowth in southshycentral Ontario forests says botany professor Richard Reader But he cautions there isnt enough data to make predictions for the long-term impact on either the richshyness or the variety of the plant species making up the forest undergrowth
Reader has been monitoring Carolinian deciduous forests on the north shore of Lake Erie for the last five years His study supported by Ontarios Ministry of Natural Resources was intended to determine the imshypact selective cutting in these forests - that is current harvesting practices - would have on the undergrowth
This layer of vegetation is important because it conshytains some species ofplants that are only found on the shores of Lake Erie After conducting a pre-harvest assessshyment Reader selectively cut the largest most economishycally important trees remOving up to two-thirds of the trees in the forest This represents the extremes - from minimal operation to intensive cutting The ministry was interested in minimizing the impact that cutting would have on the understory growth says Reader
As it turns out there was no short-term impact he says The shrub layer and herbaceous species regenerated rapidly both in their density and in the -types of species that grew back
These preliminary findings should not be interpreted as a licence to cut up to two-thirds of available trees in forests he says The long-term implications of intensive cutting need a longer observation period

The faCility will allow Guelph scientists and stushydents to do large-scale research computations It will include two project supercomputers the IRIS POWER Series 4D 340S and 4D 380S Together the machines have 192 megabytes of core memory and 34 gigabytes of disk storage capacity
Many disciplines and research projects will benefit from the computing power available in the NIC faCility For example chemistry and biochemistry researchers are calculating from first principles the electronic properties of atoms and molecules Physicists are studying the molecular structure of the surface of water A project in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics involves studying surface catalysis of chemical reactions Animal and poultry scientists are doing genetic parameter estimations in livestock and landscape arshychitects are doing photorealistic rendering in their work
Under an agreement with Silicon Graphics the University received substantial discounts on equipshyment and maintenance In return the University will serve as a testing ground for Silicon equipment inshycluding a high-performance GTX graphics subsystem that will be evaluated and demonstrated at a 1991 computing conference on campus
New PhD program approved
This spring the University received final approval for a new PhD program in applied mathematics and apshyplied statistics The program offers a unique combinashytion of emphases says Prof Bill Smith Department of Mathematics and Statistics ll1cse include specializashytions in mathematical biology dynamical systems numerical analysis and optimization linear and nonshylinear models survival analysis life testing and bioassay
The program reflects current interest in the major scientific diScipl ines and recognizes the levels of scholarship and research within the department says Smith These specialties along with the uepartments state-of-the-art comp uter facilities make it one of the most advanced in the country
The department has established a unique industry link through the Math and Stats Cl inic and offers stushydents access to an advanced computer research laboratory Established in 1980 the clinic conducts reshysearch for industry sponsors develops software presents short courses and offers a consulting service Each of the problems that it tackles for industry beshycomes a teaching tool offering valuable experience to both graduate and undergraduate students
In 1983 the department installed the first undershygraduate microcomputer lab on campus and has conshytinued to upgrade equipment n le departments computer facili ties are probably unrivalled by any similar department in Canada says Smith
Faculty supervise 25 graduate students in MSc and PhD programs in the University-wide biophysics group the Guelph-Waterloo Program in Physics and the new departmental program

EC WILLIAMS OAC 34 1903-1974
OAC welcomed the Welshman
Whether it was his red hair or his Welsh ancestry Edmund C Williams OAC 34 was one of the colleges most determined and colorful students
--
Born in Wales in 1903 Williams came to Canada at m early age and worked as a farm hand before moving to the nited States With a college education ltCj his goal he inshyvested the money he earned as a construcshytion worker a lumberjack and a cowpuncher only to see it evaporate in the financial c rash of 1929
Poorer but no less determined Williams arrived at OAC in September 1929 to enrol in the associate diploma program in agriculture He found a snldent job at 25 cents an hour and talked the head of the chemistry department into Jetshyting him sleep on a cot in the basement
Its reported that Williams existed for a whole academic year on porridge cheese and stale bread liberated from the college dining room
When Williams completed the two-year program in 1931 he immediately enrolled in the intershymediate year and moved his cot to the attic of the dairy building
After graduation he returned to Britain to work at the Nationallnstilute for Research in Dairyshying He later worked for a dairy in North Wales and moved to Singapore in 1938 to become general manager of Cold Storage Creameries Ltd
His determination stood him in good stead during the Jlpanese invasion of Malaya - 1941 to 1945 - when he WlS interred in Changi A happier time followed in 1948 when he met and marshyried his wife Muriel
The couple eventlJally returned [Q the United Kingdom to retire on the Isk of Man In 1971 Williams came to Guelph for a class reunion He toured the campus with classmate Ron Greenwood OAC 34 and purchased two alumni ties ai mementos of his college days at Guelph
Williams died in 1974 leaving a bequest of nearly half a million dollars to provide scholarship awards to OAC students run ed in memory of his mother the Mary Edmunds Williams Fellowships of $4000 each are awarded annually to 12 OAC students in PhD or MSc programs
When MUliei Williams died in January 1989 a further bequest of more than S 1 million was received to provide schOlarships of $5000 a year for PhD students in OAe These awards totalling $135000 annually enhance the competitiveness of OAC departments in attracting top gradate stushydents to Guelph
Ee Williams is remembered fondly by his classmates and college And by the many graduate stushy -dents who have benefited from his determination to succeed

In addition to fighting they someshytimes give Mom a break by engaging in pretend play structured games and conversation
When she began her research on peer relationships Lollis was primarily interested in what mothers say to their children about how to get

along with their peers We wanted to know how kids initially learn rules that we as adults know when interacting with another individual such as Dont use anothers propershyty without permission
They looked specifically at matershynal intervention when children are fighting and found that mothers freshyquently got involved in play-time conflicts and usually directed comshyments to their own child And what they said overwhelmingly supshyported the other child says Lollis
She found that conflicts over obshyjects or toys have different rules and categories Object fights erupted over concepts such as ownership and prior possession Youngsters as young as 20 months understand who owns an object she says A common claim was Its mine
Toddlers also understand the concept of prior possession which means that whoever has an object may play with it until it is given up All parents know the cry had it first An interesting fact about obshyject fights is that children fight even if there is no object or if there are 10 identical objects says Lollis
The study found that mothers generally told their own children to share objects in their possession but to respect prior ownership if it was another child who had the obshyject
Lollis says mothers should not be criticized for this inconsistency beshycause they may be balancing several social agendas at once Over and above teaching their children rules related to ownership and prior posshysession of objects mothers are also teaching concepts ofgenerosity compassion and generally how to be good hosts to others Sometimes the basic rules for entitlement can conflict with consideration for others she says
Lollis and Ross are also involved in a study on sibling interaction and rules of conduct within a family unit supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council

Are you buying strawberry-flavored dinosaurs by Barbara Chance
Ifyouve ever had to wade your way through a grocery aisle full of sugar-coated strawberry-flavored battery-operated cereal in the shape of dinosaurs to find the corn flakes youve been buying since you were old enough to solo with a shopping cart youve probably asked yourself Who needs all this
And the answer is Somebody If enough somebodies somewhere werent buying this cereal it wouldnt be sitting on the shelf says Prof Trevor Watts Department of Consumer Studies
Of course some products dont have much of a life on the shelf They become a fad for a year then slip into oblivion when a new fad comes along Kids cereals in parshyticular have a knack for passing comet-like through your friendly neighborhood grocery store says Watts Its because young people today want so much variety and change
Todays manufacturers need to
know their consumers and markets well says Watts Introducing any new product is a huge financial risk so manufacturers need to know whos going to buy their product and whether or not its going to be around for awhile If its just going to be a fad they need to be able to
plan it as a fad product and profit from it while it lasts
There is a continual effort to inshytroduce products on the market says Watts but a lot of them fail The failure rate of new food products - from original idea to being successful on the shelf - has been estimated as high as 80 per cent The biggest cause of failure is that the product doesnt fulfil a
Guelph Alumnus
need in the consumers eyes Its also a question of timing he
says Sometimes a product can be introduced before consumers are ready to accept it Twenty-five years ago a baby food was put out on test market in a package rather ilian a glass jar After it was opened it had to be refrigerated It fa iled in the test market because people couldn t believe that baby food could be good and safe if it wasnt in a glass jar Three years ago a similar concept of dehydrated baby food that sits on the shelf in a plasshytic container was introduced and apshypears to be successful The failed baby food was just 25 years too soon
Because of the high cost of introshyducing new products many manufacturers today choose simp ly to change or improve the old ones instead Thats why youll read a new and improved label on your favorite pudding or detergent every few years
Peripheral variations involve much less time and expense for reshysearch and development and much less risk for a manufacturer says
Watts But they dont necessarily sucshy
ceed either Sometimes manufacshyturers have to learn the hard way that you cant always improve on a good thing Just ask the corn chip makers who decided a great variashytion on their product would be to color the chips blue

Shuttle bound Only a handful of
Canadians will ever have the chance to look at Earth the way Roberta Bondar OAC 68 will
Canadas first female astronaut Bondar will be part of a seven-memshyber Columbia shuttle mission scheduled for launch in mid-199I
When Im not taking my work shift Ill be looking out the window says the 44shyyear-old native of Sault Ste Marie Ont
As a payload specialist Bondar will carry out research acshytivities on behalf of scientists in 13 countries Her main area of interest deals with space sickness and the effect space travel has on the movement of body fluids
A graduate of Guelphs zoology program Bondar received an honorary degree from the Univershysity in June She told fellow graduates that the space program has made her more aware of how unique this planet is We need to use the knowledge gained through space science to raise the consciousshyness of whats happening to our enshyvironment on a global scale
Whats after space for Bondar Getting back to Earth both literally and figuratively she says
Being part of Canadas history is great but there are a lot of other things I want to do in my life I
started out at Guelph 22 years ago in an environmental vein and now Im corning back to it
I t was a Grade 10 science project that brought Bondar to Guelph Inshyfluenced by Rachel Carsons book Silent Spring she wanted to do a project on genetic resistance to DDT in fruit flies
I was probably 10 years too early for that project says Bondar but I was at least a month too late in starting it

Computer simulation by Doug Masters
Heading into
SPACE to look at Earth
laboratory in Sault Ste Marie conshyvinced her to look instead at an inshyfestation of the tent caterpillar Eventually they gave her a summer job at the lab and introduced her to Guelphs programs in the biological sciences
She later earned an MSc from the niversity of Western Ontario and a PhD from the University of Toronto before enrolling in medical school at McMaster University She was assistant professor of neurology in McMasters faculty of medicine when she heard a radio anshynouncement in July 1983 that Canada was planning to initiate an astronaut program
Acceptance into the astronaut program fulfilled a lifelong dream for Bondar but she acknowledges that few Canadians will be able to achieve the same dream
Canadas space program relies on launching facilities in other
countries so we dont need many astronauts she says Opportunities are much greater in the other wings of the space program
For years Canadian scientists have been acshytive in space science looking at upper atmosshyphere stars and other objects in the universe
We are world exshyperts in certain areas says Bondar We also have a fantastic reputashytion for building great communication satelshylites and for using other satellites for remote sensing (looking down on the Earth)
Canada will put up its own Earth observashytion satellite (Radarshysat) early in this
decade she says It will have radar facility to help us look through ice blocks and to invenshytory our wildlife and our forest stands
Bondar says Canada will also launch a mobile satellite comshymunications system that will help people in the North communicate with each other
Another wing focusing on space technology was responsible for the development of the Canadarm and is now working on robotics for a space station she says
Bondar has been in training for space flight since 1984 Her gruelshyling physical conditioning includes lifting weights to prepare for the extra 90 pounds of safety equipshyment that astronauts are now reshyquired to wear
A new launch escape suit was designed during NASAs safety review after the 1986 Challenger acshycident Bondar says NASA can not eliminate the potential danger of those first 2 12 minutes after liftoff but the new escape system will protect the astronauts if the orbiter is unable to make a runway landing
Despite the dangers Bondar says she feels as much trepidation about renting a car as she does about stepshyping into the shuttle Anytime you
25
have a p iece of enshygineering that you rely on other people for and your life depends on it its nerve- rackshying
To be part of the space program there arc certain dangers you have LO accept she says This is very risky business I11ese are pioneering days
Because of the high profile of the astronaut program a large part of Bondars job involshyves puhlic relations I think we astronauts have a responsibility to be very knowledgeable about the other parts of the space program and to pass on that knowledge to the general public
Always ttJJing to be efficient Roberta Bondar centre refused to study during her undergraduate _years at Guelph hecause going OVet-the same material taken in didnt make sense I had othet things 10 do But when a severe case ofmurnps kept her out Of classor several weeks she w(lSforred to learn how to study from textbooks ~iomethillg good comes outoevery negative exshyperience she says And that includes long-standing friendships with Elizabeth Waywell OAC MSc 70 left and retired professor Susan Corey right CO~I was my zoology professor and Way well was a graduate student in zoology who took me to her Gordon Stteel bome to recuperate says Bondar They rea~)I saved my year
communications has stood her in good stead she says Even as a student I had a real commitment that scienshytists should be able to communicate their ideas better
She encourages people - especially young people - to write for information posters photographs and lapel pins to the public relations branch of the Canadian Space Agency National Reshysearch Council of Canada Building M60 Montreal Road Ottawa KIA OR6
Space is uppermost in the minds of our young people because they can see it in their fu ture Bondar says

Wildlife pathologist Ian Barker OVC 68 and MSc 70 has relieved public concern about insect-transmitted disease of potential danger to both dogs and humans
In Canada Lyme disease hysteria is far more comshymon than Lyme disease itself says Barker Canadians and their pets appear to be at very low risk of contractshying the disease he says
In an Ontario study the tick that carries the disease Ixodes dammini was found in nature at only one locashytion - Long Point on Lake Erie There is a greater risk in the coastal northeastern United States from Masshysachusetts to Delaware Minnesota Wisconsin and parts of the Pacific northwest
Lyme disease is readily treatable by antibiotics if diagshynosed early but its difficult to diagnose because it mimics other conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Bells Palsy People most prone to the disease are outdoor workers and outdoor enthusiasts
In the United States the disease has also been implishycated in arthritis and myocarditis in dogs arthritis and abortion in cattle and ophthalmic disease encephalitis and arthritis in horses
Researchers still have a lot to learn about the diagshy
~--nosis of the disease and the transmission biology of the tick says Barker The only distinctive clinical sign is a bulls-eye rash around the tick bite but only 50 to 60 per cent of infected persons develop the rash Blood tests may also be inconclusive
He is currently working on a study for Health and Welfare Canada to determine ways of preventing the disease in Canada and to gain a better understanding of the ticks biology Insect repellents long pants and shirts are the best preventive measures he says

Lobby group formed
niversity alumni from five major Ontario universitics - Guelph Queens Toronto Waterloo and Western - ha e joined forces to orshyganize a citizens group to lobby the Ontario government for more fu ndshying for universities
Fri middot nds of Ontario niversities is the b ginning of a pennanent lobby group representing the intershycsts of universities says Lisa Wilson HAFA 84 president of the HAFA Alumni Association
The objective is to assist Ontario universities by promoting apshypropriate government funding policies says Wilson The first priority will be to try to reverse the current trend in reduced governshyment spending in higher education she says
According to the Council of Onshytario Univcrsiti s (COU) the universities share of total governshyment spending has declined from 59 per cent in 197778 to 45 per cent in 198990 Wilson says itsesshytimatcd that Ontario ranks ninth among the 10 provinces in terms of government support per student
Friends of Ontario niversities will also try to encourage business and individuals to become more inshyvolved in the support of universities
The group is encouraging people to question their MPPs and provinshycial candidates about university fundshying Ask what they intend to do to benefit Ontario universities she says
The GAA has supported three proposals put forth by COU for disshycussion during the provincial elecshytion campaign
The proposals include a governshyment commitment to match private gifts to universities a trust for the adshyvancement of the social scicnces and humanities and infrastructure supshyport for science and technology to rebuild stocks of scientific and techshynological equipment supporting the provinces new thrust in this area
Wilson also hopes to organize a Univer ity of Guelph group as an ann of the provincial organization For more infonnation call Alumni House 519-824-4120 Ext 21 22

A profile of artists Jane and Ron Eccles
We had the sense that everyshything is possible says artistJane Eccles Arts 70 of her student days at the University of Guelph
One gets the same feeling from Janes Patch Work canvases which now hang over the main stairway of the MacKinnon buildshying Patch Work depicts the fea shytures and the personali ties of 10 women scrambling their images to form something of a female archetype The women seem to understand each others symshybolism - they adapt and exshychange qualities with each other
The 20 canvases share the Guelph alcove with a sculpture by Walter Bachinski - the fine art professor who helped instil in Jane that feeling ofpossibilities - and a new abstract painting by her husband Ron Arts 70 Enshytitled Erratic it uses the colors of earth stone and sand to mellow strong geometric shapes
I think of myself as building structures as much as paiming pictures says Ron
The couple met and married while studying art at Guelph Ron had transferred from the Onshytario College ofArt to earn a BA Jane had been majoring in history and English - until she took classhyses in drawing and sculpture to relax from the pressure of thesis writing
My love of fine arts and for the individuals who create works of art was awakened at Guelph she says
Today the Eccles live and work in a renovated 1856 farmhouse in BowmanvilIe Ont Ron has been able to provide at -home care for their sons Ryan 10 and Bradley 6 while working at home Jane teaches art at Bowmanville High School
Jane was awarded a Marshall McLuhan Distinguished Teacher

Cedars hold on to secret of long-life Two years ago
botany professor Doug Larson was hanging over the cliff edge of the Niagara escarpment near Milshyton Ont to study lichens when he grabbed on to a secret that has surprised even the scientific community
He discovered that the gnaded halfshydead cedars growing on the cliffs are Ontarios oldest trees - some of them more than 700 years old
Larson and his colshyleagues were more than a little bit excited about the disshycovel) and the possibilities it offered for studies of past climates Not to mention the chance to find out how eastern white cedars - normally found in wet swampy areas - could survive for centuries without soil and in the extreme climatic conditions of the cliff face
The trees are still holding on to their secrets says Larson He was struck originally by their ability to grow slowly - some growth rings are only one or two cells wide Now he is equally amazed by the variability found in the ancient forest
Two 400-year-old trees growing only a few metres apart can vary in diameter from two-thirds of a metre to a few centimetres The first may have the normal 12 growth rings for every 25 centimetres ofwood whereas growth rings in the second may be only one or two cells in width
Shown as exact size tvis section of an ancient cedar shows more than 300 growth rings
Clinging to life on the edge of the Niagara escmpment the botshytom halfof tvis 625-year-old white cedar is dead but life conshytinues as the tree stretches upward
16
Its very difficult to make predictions about climatic conditions in the year 1590 when you only have two cells to look at says Larson
The dwarfed cedar is more interesting he says but the larger brother may provide more information Both are growing from cracks in the limestone cliff face They are nourished by water percolating through the porous limestone but how they got there is still just a theory he says
The perseverance of this ancient forest has generated a level of public interest that Larson hopes to harness Compared with other coniferous forests the trees are small and deformed and have little economic value This is the species used for rail fences and shingles not pulp and paper he says That means researchers can study them to explain the basic functiOning of forest ecosysshytems without stepping on anyones toes
The scientific community needs to do a better job of educating people about the dynamics of a forest says Larson The ancient cedars contradict the common pershyception that old trees are large
If we discover that the growth and survival of this species requires a degree of interaction in the ecosysshytem that we dont provide then it may change the way we grow and harvest conifers in other places he says
Forest undergrowth survives harvesting
Harvesting trees doesnt seem to have any short-term adverse effects on the shrubs and undergrowth in southshycentral Ontario forests says botany professor Richard Reader But he cautions there isnt enough data to make predictions for the long-term impact on either the richshyness or the variety of the plant species making up the forest undergrowth
Reader has been monitoring Carolinian deciduous forests on the north shore of Lake Erie for the last five years His study supported by Ontarios Ministry of Natural Resources was intended to determine the imshypact selective cutting in these forests - that is current harvesting practices - would have on the undergrowth
This layer of vegetation is important because it conshytains some species ofplants that are only found on the shores of Lake Erie After conducting a pre-harvest assessshyment Reader selectively cut the largest most economishycally important trees remOving up to two-thirds of the trees in the forest This represents the extremes - from minimal operation to intensive cutting The ministry was interested in minimizing the impact that cutting would have on the understory growth says Reader
As it turns out there was no short-term impact he says The shrub layer and herbaceous species regenerated rapidly both in their density and in the -types of species that grew back
These preliminary findings should not be interpreted as a licence to cut up to two-thirds of available trees in forests he says The long-term implications of intensive cutting need a longer observation period

Supercomputing comes to campus
The University has entered a new league of reshysearch computing with its acquisition of a millionshydollar project supercomputer system from Silicon Graphics Canada Inc to establish a numerically intenshysive computing (NIC) faCility on campus
The faCility will allow Guelph scientists and stushydents to do large-scale research computations It will include two project supercomputers the IRIS POWER Series 4D 340S and 4D 380S Together the machines have 192 megabytes of core memory and 34 gigabytes of disk storage capacity
Many disciplines and research projects will benefit from the computing power available in the NIC faCility For example chemistry and biochemistry researchers are calculating from first principles the electronic properties of atoms and molecules Physicists are studying the molecular structure of the surface of water A project in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics involves studying surface catalysis of chemical reactions Animal and poultry scientists are doing genetic parameter estimations in livestock and landscape arshychitects are doing photorealistic rendering in their work
Under an agreement with Silicon Graphics the University received substantial discounts on equipshyment and maintenance In return the University will serve as a testing ground for Silicon equipment inshycluding a high-performance GTX graphics subsystem that will be evaluated and demonstrated at a 1991 computing conference on campus
New PhD program approved
This spring the University received final approval for a new PhD program in applied mathematics and apshyplied statistics The program offers a unique combinashytion of emphases says Prof Bill Smith Department of Mathematics and Statistics ll1cse include specializashytions in mathematical biology dynamical systems numerical analysis and optimization linear and nonshylinear models survival analysis life testing and bioassay
The program reflects current interest in the major scientific diScipl ines and recognizes the levels of scholarship and research within the department says Smith These specialties along with the uepartments state-of-the-art comp uter facilities make it one of the most advanced in the country
The department has established a unique industry link through the Math and Stats Cl inic and offers stushydents access to an advanced computer research laboratory Established in 1980 the clinic conducts reshysearch for industry sponsors develops software presents short courses and offers a consulting service Each of the problems that it tackles for industry beshycomes a teaching tool offering valuable experience to both graduate and undergraduate students
In 1983 the department installed the first undershygraduate microcomputer lab on campus and has conshytinued to upgrade equipment n le departments computer facili ties are probably unrivalled by any similar department in Canada says Smith
Faculty supervise 25 graduate students in MSc and PhD programs in the University-wide biophysics group the Guelph-Waterloo Program in Physics and the new departmental program

EC WILLIAMS OAC 34 1903-1974
OAC welcomed the Welshman
Whether it was his red hair or his Welsh ancestry Edmund C Williams OAC 34 was one of the colleges most determined and colorful students
--
Born in Wales in 1903 Williams came to Canada at m early age and worked as a farm hand before moving to the nited States With a college education ltCj his goal he inshyvested the money he earned as a construcshytion worker a lumberjack and a cowpuncher only to see it evaporate in the financial c rash of 1929
Poorer but no less determined Williams arrived at OAC in September 1929 to enrol in the associate diploma program in agriculture He found a snldent job at 25 cents an hour and talked the head of the chemistry department into Jetshyting him sleep on a cot in the basement
Its reported that Williams existed for a whole academic year on porridge cheese and stale bread liberated from the college dining room
When Williams completed the two-year program in 1931 he immediately enrolled in the intershymediate year and moved his cot to the attic of the dairy building
After graduation he returned to Britain to work at the Nationallnstilute for Research in Dairyshying He later worked for a dairy in North Wales and moved to Singapore in 1938 to become general manager of Cold Storage Creameries Ltd
His determination stood him in good stead during the Jlpanese invasion of Malaya - 1941 to 1945 - when he WlS interred in Changi A happier time followed in 1948 when he met and marshyried his wife Muriel
The couple eventlJally returned [Q the United Kingdom to retire on the Isk of Man In 1971 Williams came to Guelph for a class reunion He toured the campus with classmate Ron Greenwood OAC 34 and purchased two alumni ties ai mementos of his college days at Guelph
Williams died in 1974 leaving a bequest of nearly half a million dollars to provide scholarship awards to OAC students run ed in memory of his mother the Mary Edmunds Williams Fellowships of $4000 each are awarded annually to 12 OAC students in PhD or MSc programs
When MUliei Williams died in January 1989 a further bequest of more than S 1 million was received to provide schOlarships of $5000 a year for PhD students in OAe These awards totalling $135000 annually enhance the competitiveness of OAC departments in attracting top gradate stushydents to Guelph
Ee Williams is remembered fondly by his classmates and college And by the many graduate stushy -dents who have benefited from his determination to succeed

the Alma Mater Fund will p rovide $15000 to support the work offour family and consumer studies professors through the AMFs Forster Fellowshyship Fund
Prof Rosalind Gibson Department of Family Studies will use fellowshyship funds to develop new re earch initiatives in international nutrition Consumer studies professors Anne Wilcock FACS 73 and Trevor Watts will develop a series of case studies and prepare a manual for the teaching of quality assurance Prof John Liefeld Consumer Studies will continue his work on consumer information use while he is at New Zealands Universi ty of Otago on a research fellowship
Established in 1984 in memory of GueJphs latc president Donald Forster the Forster Fellowship Fund rotates annually among the seven colshyleges To date it has provided more than $1 05000 in support of research in areas as varied as bacterial ultrastructure human muscle metabolism environment stress tolerance in plants divorce in the 20th century the structure of metals and police work

along with their peers We wanted to know how kids initially learn rules that we as adults know when interacting with another individual such as Dont use anothers propershyty without permission
They looked specifically at matershynal intervention when children are fighting and found that mothers freshyquently got involved in play-time conflicts and usually directed comshyments to their own child And what they said overwhelmingly supshyported the other child says Lollis
She found that conflicts over obshyjects or toys have different rules and categories Object fights erupted over concepts such as ownership and prior possession Youngsters as young as 20 months understand who owns an object she says A common claim was Its mine
Toddlers also understand the concept of prior possession which means that whoever has an object may play with it until it is given up All parents know the cry had it first An interesting fact about obshyject fights is that children fight even if there is no object or if there are 10 identical objects says Lollis
The study found that mothers generally told their own children to share objects in their possession but to respect prior ownership if it was another child who had the obshyject
Lollis says mothers should not be criticized for this inconsistency beshycause they may be balancing several social agendas at once Over and above teaching their children rules related to ownership and prior posshysession of objects mothers are also teaching concepts ofgenerosity compassion and generally how to be good hosts to others Sometimes the basic rules for entitlement can conflict with consideration for others she says
Lollis and Ross are also involved in a study on sibling interaction and rules of conduct within a family unit supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council

Are you buying strawberry-flavored dinosaurs by Barbara Chance
Ifyouve ever had to wade your way through a grocery aisle full of sugar-coated strawberry-flavored battery-operated cereal in the shape of dinosaurs to find the corn flakes youve been buying since you were old enough to solo with a shopping cart youve probably asked yourself Who needs all this
And the answer is Somebody If enough somebodies somewhere werent buying this cereal it wouldnt be sitting on the shelf says Prof Trevor Watts Department of Consumer Studies
Of course some products dont have much of a life on the shelf They become a fad for a year then slip into oblivion when a new fad comes along Kids cereals in parshyticular have a knack for passing comet-like through your friendly neighborhood grocery store says Watts Its because young people today want so much variety and change
Todays manufacturers need to
know their consumers and markets well says Watts Introducing any new product is a huge financial risk so manufacturers need to know whos going to buy their product and whether or not its going to be around for awhile If its just going to be a fad they need to be able to
plan it as a fad product and profit from it while it lasts
There is a continual effort to inshytroduce products on the market says Watts but a lot of them fail The failure rate of new food products - from original idea to being successful on the shelf - has been estimated as high as 80 per cent The biggest cause of failure is that the product doesnt fulfil a
Guelph Alumnus
need in the consumers eyes Its also a question of timing he
says Sometimes a product can be introduced before consumers are ready to accept it Twenty-five years ago a baby food was put out on test market in a package rather ilian a glass jar After it was opened it had to be refrigerated It fa iled in the test market because people couldn t believe that baby food could be good and safe if it wasnt in a glass jar Three years ago a similar concept of dehydrated baby food that sits on the shelf in a plasshytic container was introduced and apshypears to be successful The failed baby food was just 25 years too soon
Because of the high cost of introshyducing new products many manufacturers today choose simp ly to change or improve the old ones instead Thats why youll read a new and improved label on your favorite pudding or detergent every few years
Peripheral variations involve much less time and expense for reshysearch and development and much less risk for a manufacturer says
Watts But they dont necessarily sucshy
ceed either Sometimes manufacshyturers have to learn the hard way that you cant always improve on a good thing Just ask the corn chip makers who decided a great variashytion on their product would be to color the chips blue

Diploma program celebrates milestone
1976 1983 Q ~
7000 graduates and still counting
OAC reached a milestone in June when Cheryl Stanley of Bristol Que became the 7000th graduate of the diploma in agriculture program Primarily funded by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food the proshygram began in 1874 and according to these other mileshystone graduates has been picking up speed ever since
1000 - Frank Paterson 12A of Scarborough Township Ont graduated from the program when he was 18 and went to work for $1200 a year as an assistant agricultural representative in Peel County When he retired 48 years later - earning $9000 a year - he had also served the districts of Muskoka Parry Sound and East Nipissing and the counties of Durham Norfolk Weiland and Peterborough He died in 1977 Paterson was folshylowed to Guelph by his brother George OAC 24 his daughter Molly Nix Mac 410 and four grandchildren

Shuttle bound Only a handful of
Canadians will ever have the chance to look at Earth the way Roberta Bondar OAC 68 will
Canadas first female astronaut Bondar will be part of a seven-memshyber Columbia shuttle mission scheduled for launch in mid-199I
When Im not taking my work shift Ill be looking out the window says the 44shyyear-old native of Sault Ste Marie Ont
As a payload specialist Bondar will carry out research acshytivities on behalf of scientists in 13 countries Her main area of interest deals with space sickness and the effect space travel has on the movement of body fluids
A graduate of Guelphs zoology program Bondar received an honorary degree from the Univershysity in June She told fellow graduates that the space program has made her more aware of how unique this planet is We need to use the knowledge gained through space science to raise the consciousshyness of whats happening to our enshyvironment on a global scale
Whats after space for Bondar Getting back to Earth both literally and figuratively she says
Being part of Canadas history is great but there are a lot of other things I want to do in my life I
started out at Guelph 22 years ago in an environmental vein and now Im corning back to it
I t was a Grade 10 science project that brought Bondar to Guelph Inshyfluenced by Rachel Carsons book Silent Spring she wanted to do a project on genetic resistance to DDT in fruit flies
I was probably 10 years too early for that project says Bondar but I was at least a month too late in starting it

Computer simulation by Doug Masters
Heading into
SPACE to look at Earth
laboratory in Sault Ste Marie conshyvinced her to look instead at an inshyfestation of the tent caterpillar Eventually they gave her a summer job at the lab and introduced her to Guelphs programs in the biological sciences
She later earned an MSc from the niversity of Western Ontario and a PhD from the University of Toronto before enrolling in medical school at McMaster University She was assistant professor of neurology in McMasters faculty of medicine when she heard a radio anshynouncement in July 1983 that Canada was planning to initiate an astronaut program
Acceptance into the astronaut program fulfilled a lifelong dream for Bondar but she acknowledges that few Canadians will be able to achieve the same dream
Canadas space program relies on launching facilities in other
countries so we dont need many astronauts she says Opportunities are much greater in the other wings of the space program
For years Canadian scientists have been acshytive in space science looking at upper atmosshyphere stars and other objects in the universe
We are world exshyperts in certain areas says Bondar We also have a fantastic reputashytion for building great communication satelshylites and for using other satellites for remote sensing (looking down on the Earth)
Canada will put up its own Earth observashytion satellite (Radarshysat) early in this
decade she says It will have radar facility to help us look through ice blocks and to invenshytory our wildlife and our forest stands
Bondar says Canada will also launch a mobile satellite comshymunications system that will help people in the North communicate with each other
Another wing focusing on space technology was responsible for the development of the Canadarm and is now working on robotics for a space station she says
Bondar has been in training for space flight since 1984 Her gruelshyling physical conditioning includes lifting weights to prepare for the extra 90 pounds of safety equipshyment that astronauts are now reshyquired to wear
A new launch escape suit was designed during NASAs safety review after the 1986 Challenger acshycident Bondar says NASA can not eliminate the potential danger of those first 2 12 minutes after liftoff but the new escape system will protect the astronauts if the orbiter is unable to make a runway landing
Despite the dangers Bondar says she feels as much trepidation about renting a car as she does about stepshyping into the shuttle Anytime you
25
have a p iece of enshygineering that you rely on other people for and your life depends on it its nerve- rackshying
To be part of the space program there arc certain dangers you have LO accept she says This is very risky business I11ese are pioneering days
Because of the high profile of the astronaut program a large part of Bondars job involshyves puhlic relations I think we astronauts have a responsibility to be very knowledgeable about the other parts of the space program and to pass on that knowledge to the general public
Always ttJJing to be efficient Roberta Bondar centre refused to study during her undergraduate _years at Guelph hecause going OVet-the same material taken in didnt make sense I had othet things 10 do But when a severe case ofmurnps kept her out Of classor several weeks she w(lSforred to learn how to study from textbooks ~iomethillg good comes outoevery negative exshyperience she says And that includes long-standing friendships with Elizabeth Waywell OAC MSc 70 left and retired professor Susan Corey right CO~I was my zoology professor and Way well was a graduate student in zoology who took me to her Gordon Stteel bome to recuperate says Bondar They rea~)I saved my year
communications has stood her in good stead she says Even as a student I had a real commitment that scienshytists should be able to communicate their ideas better
She encourages people - especially young people - to write for information posters photographs and lapel pins to the public relations branch of the Canadian Space Agency National Reshysearch Council of Canada Building M60 Montreal Road Ottawa KIA OR6
Space is uppermost in the minds of our young people because they can see it in their fu ture Bondar says

Wildlife pathologist Ian Barker OVC 68 and MSc 70 has relieved public concern about insect-transmitted disease of potential danger to both dogs and humans
In Canada Lyme disease hysteria is far more comshymon than Lyme disease itself says Barker Canadians and their pets appear to be at very low risk of contractshying the disease he says
In an Ontario study the tick that carries the disease Ixodes dammini was found in nature at only one locashytion - Long Point on Lake Erie There is a greater risk in the coastal northeastern United States from Masshysachusetts to Delaware Minnesota Wisconsin and parts of the Pacific northwest
Lyme disease is readily treatable by antibiotics if diagshynosed early but its difficult to diagnose because it mimics other conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Bells Palsy People most prone to the disease are outdoor workers and outdoor enthusiasts
In the United States the disease has also been implishycated in arthritis and myocarditis in dogs arthritis and abortion in cattle and ophthalmic disease encephalitis and arthritis in horses
Researchers still have a lot to learn about the diagshy
~--nosis of the disease and the transmission biology of the tick says Barker The only distinctive clinical sign is a bulls-eye rash around the tick bite but only 50 to 60 per cent of infected persons develop the rash Blood tests may also be inconclusive
He is currently working on a study for Health and Welfare Canada to determine ways of preventing the disease in Canada and to gain a better understanding of the ticks biology Insect repellents long pants and shirts are the best preventive measures he says
28
S uper Match 90 sponsorship of the OVC Pet Tmst Fund is one way of showing the public that the college is serious about canine disease Passing on the knowledge gained through research is another
Over the summer pathology professor Owen Slocombe OVC 61 a specialist in parasitology has been interviewed several times about his research into heartworm - a debilitating mosquito-borne disease afshyfecting dogs
Although the disease is slowly moving northward from the United States most dogs in Canada are not at serious risk says Slocombe Heartworm is considered endemic around the cities of Montreal and Winnipeg and in lower southern Ontario along Lake Erie the Niagara region and Lake Ontario and north of Toronto around the Lake Simcoe Peterborough and Midland areas
Slocombes research at OVC is the first in the world to define the diseases transmission period He found the rate of worm development is linearly related to temperature ranging from 29 days at 18 C to only nine days at 30 C In Ontario for example the transmission period is June 1 to Oct 8
The worm initially develops in the skin and muscle and gradually moves into blood vessels asshysociated with the heart and lungs causing weakshyness and impaired breathing It can also cause
liver and kidney damage The condition is treatable but the treatment is both expensive and severe
Slocombe has monitored the disease annually since 1976 and says the prevalence in Canada has decreased because ofpreventive efforts by veterinarians One Onshytario survey found heartworm in 16 per cent of dogs not taking preventive medicine compared with one per cent in dogs that were

The talcs presentation makes it irresistible to contemshyporary readers Graham says Its avant-garde it s decadent and full of contradictions Its a study of evil hut its a very moral presentation told in a very light-hearted way What makes it modem lOU what fasshycinates people is this narrative contradiction between its presentation and the import o f the suhject Reading it is a sort ofvoiupruous torment
111at continuing fascination with the tale mem[ there was a lot of interest among colshyleagues to submit essays for the collection says Graham He wamed to publish it in 1987 the bicentenary of Beckfords hirth but it took until this year to reach bookstands
He says both collections should interest the general horror story reader especially in Canada Canadians have a particularly strong taste for horror which Graham atshytrihutes partly to the long cold dark winters

Fri middot nds of Ontario niversities is the b ginning of a pennanent lobby group representing the intershycsts of universities says Lisa Wilson HAFA 84 president of the HAFA Alumni Association
The objective is to assist Ontario universities by promoting apshypropriate government funding policies says Wilson The first priority will be to try to reverse the current trend in reduced governshyment spending in higher education she says
According to the Council of Onshytario Univcrsiti s (COU) the universities share of total governshyment spending has declined from 59 per cent in 197778 to 45 per cent in 198990 Wilson says itsesshytimatcd that Ontario ranks ninth among the 10 provinces in terms of government support per student
Friends of Ontario niversities will also try to encourage business and individuals to become more inshyvolved in the support of universities
The group is encouraging people to question their MPPs and provinshycial candidates about university fundshying Ask what they intend to do to benefit Ontario universities she says
The GAA has supported three proposals put forth by COU for disshycussion during the provincial elecshytion campaign
The proposals include a governshyment commitment to match private gifts to universities a trust for the adshyvancement of the social scicnces and humanities and infrastructure supshyport for science and technology to rebuild stocks of scientific and techshynological equipment supporting the provinces new thrust in this area
Wilson also hopes to organize a Univer ity of Guelph group as an ann of the provincial organization For more infonnation call Alumni House 519-824-4120 Ext 21 22

A profile of artists Jane and Ron Eccles
We had the sense that everyshything is possible says artistJane Eccles Arts 70 of her student days at the University of Guelph
One gets the same feeling from Janes Patch Work canvases which now hang over the main stairway of the MacKinnon buildshying Patch Work depicts the fea shytures and the personali ties of 10 women scrambling their images to form something of a female archetype The women seem to understand each others symshybolism - they adapt and exshychange qualities with each other
The 20 canvases share the Guelph alcove with a sculpture by Walter Bachinski - the fine art professor who helped instil in Jane that feeling ofpossibilities - and a new abstract painting by her husband Ron Arts 70 Enshytitled Erratic it uses the colors of earth stone and sand to mellow strong geometric shapes
I think of myself as building structures as much as paiming pictures says Ron
The couple met and married while studying art at Guelph Ron had transferred from the Onshytario College ofArt to earn a BA Jane had been majoring in history and English - until she took classhyses in drawing and sculpture to relax from the pressure of thesis writing
My love of fine arts and for the individuals who create works of art was awakened at Guelph she says
Today the Eccles live and work in a renovated 1856 farmhouse in BowmanvilIe Ont Ron has been able to provide at -home care for their sons Ryan 10 and Bradley 6 while working at home Jane teaches art at Bowmanville High School
Jane was awarded a Marshall McLuhan Distinguished Teacher

Cedars hold on to secret of long-life Two years ago
botany professor Doug Larson was hanging over the cliff edge of the Niagara escarpment near Milshyton Ont to study lichens when he grabbed on to a secret that has surprised even the scientific community
He discovered that the gnaded halfshydead cedars growing on the cliffs are Ontarios oldest trees - some of them more than 700 years old
Larson and his colshyleagues were more than a little bit excited about the disshycovel) and the possibilities it offered for studies of past climates Not to mention the chance to find out how eastern white cedars - normally found in wet swampy areas - could survive for centuries without soil and in the extreme climatic conditions of the cliff face
The trees are still holding on to their secrets says Larson He was struck originally by their ability to grow slowly - some growth rings are only one or two cells wide Now he is equally amazed by the variability found in the ancient forest
Two 400-year-old trees growing only a few metres apart can vary in diameter from two-thirds of a metre to a few centimetres The first may have the normal 12 growth rings for every 25 centimetres ofwood whereas growth rings in the second may be only one or two cells in width
Shown as exact size tvis section of an ancient cedar shows more than 300 growth rings
Clinging to life on the edge of the Niagara escmpment the botshytom halfof tvis 625-year-old white cedar is dead but life conshytinues as the tree stretches upward
16
Its very difficult to make predictions about climatic conditions in the year 1590 when you only have two cells to look at says Larson
The dwarfed cedar is more interesting he says but the larger brother may provide more information Both are growing from cracks in the limestone cliff face They are nourished by water percolating through the porous limestone but how they got there is still just a theory he says
The perseverance of this ancient forest has generated a level of public interest that Larson hopes to harness Compared with other coniferous forests the trees are small and deformed and have little economic value This is the species used for rail fences and shingles not pulp and paper he says That means researchers can study them to explain the basic functiOning of forest ecosysshytems without stepping on anyones toes
The scientific community needs to do a better job of educating people about the dynamics of a forest says Larson The ancient cedars contradict the common pershyception that old trees are large
If we discover that the growth and survival of this species requires a degree of interaction in the ecosysshytem that we dont provide then it may change the way we grow and harvest conifers in other places he says
Forest undergrowth survives harvesting
Harvesting trees doesnt seem to have any short-term adverse effects on the shrubs and undergrowth in southshycentral Ontario forests says botany professor Richard Reader But he cautions there isnt enough data to make predictions for the long-term impact on either the richshyness or the variety of the plant species making up the forest undergrowth
Reader has been monitoring Carolinian deciduous forests on the north shore of Lake Erie for the last five years His study supported by Ontarios Ministry of Natural Resources was intended to determine the imshypact selective cutting in these forests - that is current harvesting practices - would have on the undergrowth
This layer of vegetation is important because it conshytains some species ofplants that are only found on the shores of Lake Erie After conducting a pre-harvest assessshyment Reader selectively cut the largest most economishycally important trees remOving up to two-thirds of the trees in the forest This represents the extremes - from minimal operation to intensive cutting The ministry was interested in minimizing the impact that cutting would have on the understory growth says Reader
As it turns out there was no short-term impact he says The shrub layer and herbaceous species regenerated rapidly both in their density and in the -types of species that grew back
These preliminary findings should not be interpreted as a licence to cut up to two-thirds of available trees in forests he says The long-term implications of intensive cutting need a longer observation period

Supercomputing comes to campus
The University has entered a new league of reshysearch computing with its acquisition of a millionshydollar project supercomputer system from Silicon Graphics Canada Inc to establish a numerically intenshysive computing (NIC) faCility on campus
The faCility will allow Guelph scientists and stushydents to do large-scale research computations It will include two project supercomputers the IRIS POWER Series 4D 340S and 4D 380S Together the machines have 192 megabytes of core memory and 34 gigabytes of disk storage capacity
Many disciplines and research projects will benefit from the computing power available in the NIC faCility For example chemistry and biochemistry researchers are calculating from first principles the electronic properties of atoms and molecules Physicists are studying the molecular structure of the surface of water A project in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics involves studying surface catalysis of chemical reactions Animal and poultry scientists are doing genetic parameter estimations in livestock and landscape arshychitects are doing photorealistic rendering in their work
Under an agreement with Silicon Graphics the University received substantial discounts on equipshyment and maintenance In return the University will serve as a testing ground for Silicon equipment inshycluding a high-performance GTX graphics subsystem that will be evaluated and demonstrated at a 1991 computing conference on campus
New PhD program approved
This spring the University received final approval for a new PhD program in applied mathematics and apshyplied statistics The program offers a unique combinashytion of emphases says Prof Bill Smith Department of Mathematics and Statistics ll1cse include specializashytions in mathematical biology dynamical systems numerical analysis and optimization linear and nonshylinear models survival analysis life testing and bioassay
The program reflects current interest in the major scientific diScipl ines and recognizes the levels of scholarship and research within the department says Smith These specialties along with the uepartments state-of-the-art comp uter facilities make it one of the most advanced in the country
The department has established a unique industry link through the Math and Stats Cl inic and offers stushydents access to an advanced computer research laboratory Established in 1980 the clinic conducts reshysearch for industry sponsors develops software presents short courses and offers a consulting service Each of the problems that it tackles for industry beshycomes a teaching tool offering valuable experience to both graduate and undergraduate students
In 1983 the department installed the first undershygraduate microcomputer lab on campus and has conshytinued to upgrade equipment n le departments computer facili ties are probably unrivalled by any similar department in Canada says Smith
Faculty supervise 25 graduate students in MSc and PhD programs in the University-wide biophysics group the Guelph-Waterloo Program in Physics and the new departmental program

EC WILLIAMS OAC 34 1903-1974
OAC welcomed the Welshman
Whether it was his red hair or his Welsh ancestry Edmund C Williams OAC 34 was one of the colleges most determined and colorful students
--
Born in Wales in 1903 Williams came to Canada at m early age and worked as a farm hand before moving to the nited States With a college education ltCj his goal he inshyvested the money he earned as a construcshytion worker a lumberjack and a cowpuncher only to see it evaporate in the financial c rash of 1929
Poorer but no less determined Williams arrived at OAC in September 1929 to enrol in the associate diploma program in agriculture He found a snldent job at 25 cents an hour and talked the head of the chemistry department into Jetshyting him sleep on a cot in the basement
Its reported that Williams existed for a whole academic year on porridge cheese and stale bread liberated from the college dining room
When Williams completed the two-year program in 1931 he immediately enrolled in the intershymediate year and moved his cot to the attic of the dairy building
After graduation he returned to Britain to work at the Nationallnstilute for Research in Dairyshying He later worked for a dairy in North Wales and moved to Singapore in 1938 to become general manager of Cold Storage Creameries Ltd
His determination stood him in good stead during the Jlpanese invasion of Malaya - 1941 to 1945 - when he WlS interred in Changi A happier time followed in 1948 when he met and marshyried his wife Muriel
The couple eventlJally returned [Q the United Kingdom to retire on the Isk of Man In 1971 Williams came to Guelph for a class reunion He toured the campus with classmate Ron Greenwood OAC 34 and purchased two alumni ties ai mementos of his college days at Guelph
Williams died in 1974 leaving a bequest of nearly half a million dollars to provide scholarship awards to OAC students run ed in memory of his mother the Mary Edmunds Williams Fellowships of $4000 each are awarded annually to 12 OAC students in PhD or MSc programs
When MUliei Williams died in January 1989 a further bequest of more than S 1 million was received to provide schOlarships of $5000 a year for PhD students in OAe These awards totalling $135000 annually enhance the competitiveness of OAC departments in attracting top gradate stushydents to Guelph
Ee Williams is remembered fondly by his classmates and college And by the many graduate stushy -dents who have benefited from his determination to succeed

along with their peers We wanted to know how kids initially learn rules that we as adults know when interacting with another individual such as Dont use anothers propershyty without permission
They looked specifically at matershynal intervention when children are fighting and found that mothers freshyquently got involved in play-time conflicts and usually directed comshyments to their own child And what they said overwhelmingly supshyported the other child says Lollis
She found that conflicts over obshyjects or toys have different rules and categories Object fights erupted over concepts such as ownership and prior possession Youngsters as young as 20 months understand who owns an object she says A common claim was Its mine
Toddlers also understand the concept of prior possession which means that whoever has an object may play with it until it is given up All parents know the cry had it first An interesting fact about obshyject fights is that children fight even if there is no object or if there are 10 identical objects says Lollis
The study found that mothers generally told their own children to share objects in their possession but to respect prior ownership if it was another child who had the obshyject
Lollis says mothers should not be criticized for this inconsistency beshycause they may be balancing several social agendas at once Over and above teaching their children rules related to ownership and prior posshysession of objects mothers are also teaching concepts ofgenerosity compassion and generally how to be good hosts to others Sometimes the basic rules for entitlement can conflict with consideration for others she says
Lollis and Ross are also involved in a study on sibling interaction and rules of conduct within a family unit supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council

Are you buying strawberry-flavored dinosaurs by Barbara Chance
Ifyouve ever had to wade your way through a grocery aisle full of sugar-coated strawberry-flavored battery-operated cereal in the shape of dinosaurs to find the corn flakes youve been buying since you were old enough to solo with a shopping cart youve probably asked yourself Who needs all this
And the answer is Somebody If enough somebodies somewhere werent buying this cereal it wouldnt be sitting on the shelf says Prof Trevor Watts Department of Consumer Studies
Of course some products dont have much of a life on the shelf They become a fad for a year then slip into oblivion when a new fad comes along Kids cereals in parshyticular have a knack for passing comet-like through your friendly neighborhood grocery store says Watts Its because young people today want so much variety and change
Todays manufacturers need to
know their consumers and markets well says Watts Introducing any new product is a huge financial risk so manufacturers need to know whos going to buy their product and whether or not its going to be around for awhile If its just going to be a fad they need to be able to
plan it as a fad product and profit from it while it lasts
There is a continual effort to inshytroduce products on the market says Watts but a lot of them fail The failure rate of new food products - from original idea to being successful on the shelf - has been estimated as high as 80 per cent The biggest cause of failure is that the product doesnt fulfil a
Guelph Alumnus
need in the consumers eyes Its also a question of timing he
says Sometimes a product can be introduced before consumers are ready to accept it Twenty-five years ago a baby food was put out on test market in a package rather ilian a glass jar After it was opened it had to be refrigerated It fa iled in the test market because people couldn t believe that baby food could be good and safe if it wasnt in a glass jar Three years ago a similar concept of dehydrated baby food that sits on the shelf in a plasshytic container was introduced and apshypears to be successful The failed baby food was just 25 years too soon
Because of the high cost of introshyducing new products many manufacturers today choose simp ly to change or improve the old ones instead Thats why youll read a new and improved label on your favorite pudding or detergent every few years
Peripheral variations involve much less time and expense for reshysearch and development and much less risk for a manufacturer says
Watts But they dont necessarily sucshy
ceed either Sometimes manufacshyturers have to learn the hard way that you cant always improve on a good thing Just ask the corn chip makers who decided a great variashytion on their product would be to color the chips blue

Diploma program celebrates milestone
1976 1983 Q ~
7000 graduates and still counting

Shuttle bound Only a handful of
Canadians will ever have the chance to look at Earth the way Roberta Bondar OAC 68 will
Canadas first female astronaut Bondar will be part of a seven-memshyber Columbia shuttle mission scheduled for launch in mid-199I
When Im not taking my work shift Ill be looking out the window says the 44shyyear-old native of Sault Ste Marie Ont
As a payload specialist Bondar will carry out research acshytivities on behalf of scientists in 13 countries Her main area of interest deals with space sickness and the effect space travel has on the movement of body fluids
A graduate of Guelphs zoology program Bondar received an honorary degree from the Univershysity in June She told fellow graduates that the space program has made her more aware of how unique this planet is We need to use the knowledge gained through space science to raise the consciousshyness of whats happening to our enshyvironment on a global scale
Whats after space for Bondar Getting back to Earth both literally and figuratively she says
Being part of Canadas history is great but there are a lot of other things I want to do in my life I
started out at Guelph 22 years ago in an environmental vein and now Im corning back to it
I t was a Grade 10 science project that brought Bondar to Guelph Inshyfluenced by Rachel Carsons book Silent Spring she wanted to do a project on genetic resistance to DDT in fruit flies
I was probably 10 years too early for that project says Bondar but I was at least a month too late in starting it

Computer simulation by Doug Masters
Heading into
SPACE to look at Earth
laboratory in Sault Ste Marie conshyvinced her to look instead at an inshyfestation of the tent caterpillar Eventually they gave her a summer job at the lab and introduced her to Guelphs programs in the biological sciences
She later earned an MSc from the niversity of Western Ontario and a PhD from the University of Toronto before enrolling in medical school at McMaster University She was assistant professor of neurology in McMasters faculty of medicine when she heard a radio anshynouncement in July 1983 that Canada was planning to initiate an astronaut program
Acceptance into the astronaut program fulfilled a lifelong dream for Bondar but she acknowledges that few Canadians will be able to achieve the same dream
Canadas space program relies on launching facilities in other
countries so we dont need many astronauts she says Opportunities are much greater in the other wings of the space program
For years Canadian scientists have been acshytive in space science looking at upper atmosshyphere stars and other objects in the universe
We are world exshyperts in certain areas says Bondar We also have a fantastic reputashytion for building great communication satelshylites and for using other satellites for remote sensing (looking down on the Earth)
Canada will put up its own Earth observashytion satellite (Radarshysat) early in this
decade she says It will have radar facility to help us look through ice blocks and to invenshytory our wildlife and our forest stands
Bondar says Canada will also launch a mobile satellite comshymunications system that will help people in the North communicate with each other
Another wing focusing on space technology was responsible for the development of the Canadarm and is now working on robotics for a space station she says
Bondar has been in training for space flight since 1984 Her gruelshyling physical conditioning includes lifting weights to prepare for the extra 90 pounds of safety equipshyment that astronauts are now reshyquired to wear
A new launch escape suit was designed during NASAs safety review after the 1986 Challenger acshycident Bondar says NASA can not eliminate the potential danger of those first 2 12 minutes after liftoff but the new escape system will protect the astronauts if the orbiter is unable to make a runway landing
Despite the dangers Bondar says she feels as much trepidation about renting a car as she does about stepshyping into the shuttle Anytime you
25
have a p iece of enshygineering that you rely on other people for and your life depends on it its nerve- rackshying
To be part of the space program there arc certain dangers you have LO accept she says This is very risky business I11ese are pioneering days
Because of the high profile of the astronaut program a large part of Bondars job involshyves puhlic relations I think we astronauts have a responsibility to be very knowledgeable about the other parts of the space program and to pass on that knowledge to the general public
Always ttJJing to be efficient Roberta Bondar centre refused to study during her undergraduate _years at Guelph hecause going OVet-the same material taken in didnt make sense I had othet things 10 do But when a severe case ofmurnps kept her out Of classor several weeks she w(lSforred to learn how to study from textbooks ~iomethillg good comes outoevery negative exshyperience she says And that includes long-standing friendships with Elizabeth Waywell OAC MSc 70 left and retired professor Susan Corey right CO~I was my zoology professor and Way well was a graduate student in zoology who took me to her Gordon Stteel bome to recuperate says Bondar They rea~)I saved my year
communications has stood her in good stead she says Even as a student I had a real commitment that scienshytists should be able to communicate their ideas better
She encourages people - especially young people - to write for information posters photographs and lapel pins to the public relations branch of the Canadian Space Agency National Reshysearch Council of Canada Building M60 Montreal Road Ottawa KIA OR6

Angela Wingate veterinarian says Wingate She and her husbandJohn Whelan now operate Whelan Farms at Troy Ont where they train and race standardbreds Wingate also works at the Park Road Animal Hospital in Brantford
She is the second ofAndrew Smiths descendants to attend OVe His son King Smith earned a veterinary degree and taught courses at the coHege from 1897 until it moved to Guelph in 1922 The younger Smith then went on to medical
Sharing the honor
These things you are honoring me for were not done in isolation said Dr Kenneth Wells 38 on receiving the 1990 OVC Distinshyguished Alumnus award at Alumni Weekend I had the help of a very good team namely the veterinarians of
Canada many of whom are here today Wel1s did indeed work with many OVC colshy
leagues during his 19 years as veterinary directorshygeneral of Canada During his career he served 36 years with Agriculture Canadas Health of Animals Branch and is one of the few civil servants known personally by almost every prominent stock producer in the country
Andrew Smith

Perhaps it was family tradition that brought Wingate to OVC after all

Wildlife pathologist Ian Barker OVC 68 and MSc 70 has relieved public concern about insect-transmitted disease of potential danger to both dogs and humans
In Canada Lyme disease hysteria is far more comshymon than Lyme disease itself says Barker Canadians and their pets appear to be at very low risk of contractshying the disease he says
In an Ontario study the tick that carries the disease Ixodes dammini was found in nature at only one locashytion - Long Point on Lake Erie There is a greater risk in the coastal northeastern United States from Masshysachusetts to Delaware Minnesota Wisconsin and parts of the Pacific northwest
Lyme disease is readily treatable by antibiotics if diagshynosed early but its difficult to diagnose because it mimics other conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Bells Palsy People most prone to the disease are outdoor workers and outdoor enthusiasts
In the United States the disease has also been implishycated in arthritis and myocarditis in dogs arthritis and abortion in cattle and ophthalmic disease encephalitis and arthritis in horses
Researchers still have a lot to learn about the diagshy
~--nosis of the disease and the transmission biology of the tick says Barker The only distinctive clinical sign is a bulls-eye rash around the tick bite but only 50 to 60 per cent of infected persons develop the rash Blood tests may also be inconclusive
He is currently working on a study for Health and Welfare Canada to determine ways of preventing the disease in Canada and to gain a better understanding of the ticks biology Insect repellents long pants and shirts are the best preventive measures he says
28
S uper Match 90 sponsorship of the OVC Pet Tmst Fund is one way of showing the public that the college is serious about canine disease Passing on the knowledge gained through research is another
Over the summer pathology professor Owen Slocombe OVC 61 a specialist in parasitology has been interviewed several times about his research into heartworm - a debilitating mosquito-borne disease afshyfecting dogs
Although the disease is slowly moving northward from the United States most dogs in Canada are not at serious risk says Slocombe Heartworm is considered endemic around the cities of Montreal and Winnipeg and in lower southern Ontario along Lake Erie the Niagara region and Lake Ontario and north of Toronto around the Lake Simcoe Peterborough and Midland areas
Slocombes research at OVC is the first in the world to define the diseases transmission period He found the rate of worm development is linearly related to temperature ranging from 29 days at 18 C to only nine days at 30 C In Ontario for example the transmission period is June 1 to Oct 8
The worm initially develops in the skin and muscle and gradually moves into blood vessels asshysociated with the heart and lungs causing weakshyness and impaired breathing It can also cause
liver and kidney damage The condition is treatable but the treatment is both expensive and severe
Slocombe has monitored the disease annually since 1976 and says the prevalence in Canada has decreased because ofpreventive efforts by veterinarians One Onshytario survey found heartworm in 16 per cent of dogs not taking preventive medicine compared with one per cent in dogs that were

Lobby group formed
niversity alumni from five major Ontario universitics - Guelph Queens Toronto Waterloo and Western - ha e joined forces to orshyganize a citizens group to lobby the Ontario government for more fu ndshying for universities
Fri middot nds of Ontario niversities is the b ginning of a pennanent lobby group representing the intershycsts of universities says Lisa Wilson HAFA 84 president of the HAFA Alumni Association
The objective is to assist Ontario universities by promoting apshypropriate government funding policies says Wilson The first priority will be to try to reverse the current trend in reduced governshyment spending in higher education she says
According to the Council of Onshytario Univcrsiti s (COU) the universities share of total governshyment spending has declined from 59 per cent in 197778 to 45 per cent in 198990 Wilson says itsesshytimatcd that Ontario ranks ninth among the 10 provinces in terms of government support per student
Friends of Ontario niversities will also try to encourage business and individuals to become more inshyvolved in the support of universities
The group is encouraging people to question their MPPs and provinshycial candidates about university fundshying Ask what they intend to do to benefit Ontario universities she says
The GAA has supported three proposals put forth by COU for disshycussion during the provincial elecshytion campaign
The proposals include a governshyment commitment to match private gifts to universities a trust for the adshyvancement of the social scicnces and humanities and infrastructure supshyport for science and technology to rebuild stocks of scientific and techshynological equipment supporting the provinces new thrust in this area
Wilson also hopes to organize a Univer ity of Guelph group as an ann of the provincial organization For more infonnation call Alumni House 519-824-4120 Ext 21 22

A profile of artists Jane and Ron Eccles
We had the sense that everyshything is possible says artistJane Eccles Arts 70 of her student days at the University of Guelph
One gets the same feeling from Janes Patch Work canvases which now hang over the main stairway of the MacKinnon buildshying Patch Work depicts the fea shytures and the personali ties of 10 women scrambling their images to form something of a female archetype The women seem to understand each others symshybolism - they adapt and exshychange qualities with each other
The 20 canvases share the Guelph alcove with a sculpture by Walter Bachinski - the fine art professor who helped instil in Jane that feeling ofpossibilities - and a new abstract painting by her husband Ron Arts 70 Enshytitled Erratic it uses the colors of earth stone and sand to mellow strong geometric shapes
I think of myself as building structures as much as paiming pictures says Ron
The couple met and married while studying art at Guelph Ron had transferred from the Onshytario College ofArt to earn a BA Jane had been majoring in history and English - until she took classhyses in drawing and sculpture to relax from the pressure of thesis writing
My love of fine arts and for the individuals who create works of art was awakened at Guelph she says
Today the Eccles live and work in a renovated 1856 farmhouse in BowmanvilIe Ont Ron has been able to provide at -home care for their sons Ryan 10 and Bradley 6 while working at home Jane teaches art at Bowmanville High School
Jane was awarded a Marshall McLuhan Distinguished Teacher

Cedars hold on to secret of long-life Two years ago
botany professor Doug Larson was hanging over the cliff edge of the Niagara escarpment near Milshyton Ont to study lichens when he grabbed on to a secret that has surprised even the scientific community
He discovered that the gnaded halfshydead cedars growing on the cliffs are Ontarios oldest trees - some of them more than 700 years old
Larson and his colshyleagues were more than a little bit excited about the disshycovel) and the possibilities it offered for studies of past climates Not to mention the chance to find out how eastern white cedars - normally found in wet swampy areas - could survive for centuries without soil and in the extreme climatic conditions of the cliff face
The trees are still holding on to their secrets says Larson He was struck originally by their ability to grow slowly - some growth rings are only one or two cells wide Now he is equally amazed by the variability found in the ancient forest
Two 400-year-old trees growing only a few metres apart can vary in diameter from two-thirds of a metre to a few centimetres The first may have the normal 12 growth rings for every 25 centimetres ofwood whereas growth rings in the second may be only one or two cells in width
Shown as exact size tvis section of an ancient cedar shows more than 300 growth rings
Clinging to life on the edge of the Niagara escmpment the botshytom halfof tvis 625-year-old white cedar is dead but life conshytinues as the tree stretches upward
16
Its very difficult to make predictions about climatic conditions in the year 1590 when you only have two cells to look at says Larson
The dwarfed cedar is more interesting he says but the larger brother may provide more information Both are growing from cracks in the limestone cliff face They are nourished by water percolating through the porous limestone but how they got there is still just a theory he says
The perseverance of this ancient forest has generated a level of public interest that Larson hopes to harness Compared with other coniferous forests the trees are small and deformed and have little economic value This is the species used for rail fences and shingles not pulp and paper he says That means researchers can study them to explain the basic functiOning of forest ecosysshytems without stepping on anyones toes
The scientific community needs to do a better job of educating people about the dynamics of a forest says Larson The ancient cedars contradict the common pershyception that old trees are large
If we discover that the growth and survival of this species requires a degree of interaction in the ecosysshytem that we dont provide then it may change the way we grow and harvest conifers in other places he says
Forest undergrowth survives harvesting
Harvesting trees doesnt seem to have any short-term adverse effects on the shrubs and undergrowth in southshycentral Ontario forests says botany professor Richard Reader But he cautions there isnt enough data to make predictions for the long-term impact on either the richshyness or the variety of the plant species making up the forest undergrowth
Reader has been monitoring Carolinian deciduous forests on the north shore of Lake Erie for the last five years His study supported by Ontarios Ministry of Natural Resources was intended to determine the imshypact selective cutting in these forests - that is current harvesting practices - would have on the undergrowth
This layer of vegetation is important because it conshytains some species ofplants that are only found on the shores of Lake Erie After conducting a pre-harvest assessshyment Reader selectively cut the largest most economishycally important trees remOving up to two-thirds of the trees in the forest This represents the extremes - from minimal operation to intensive cutting The ministry was interested in minimizing the impact that cutting would have on the understory growth says Reader
As it turns out there was no short-term impact he says The shrub layer and herbaceous species regenerated rapidly both in their density and in the -types of species that grew back
These preliminary findings should not be interpreted as a licence to cut up to two-thirds of available trees in forests he says The long-term implications of intensive cutting need a longer observation period

Supercomputing comes to campus
The University has entered a new league of reshysearch computing with its acquisition of a millionshydollar project supercomputer system from Silicon Graphics Canada Inc to establish a numerically intenshysive computing (NIC) faCility on campus
The faCility will allow Guelph scientists and stushydents to do large-scale research computations It will include two project supercomputers the IRIS POWER Series 4D 340S and 4D 380S Together the machines have 192 megabytes of core memory and 34 gigabytes of disk storage capacity
Many disciplines and research projects will benefit from the computing power available in the NIC faCility For example chemistry and biochemistry researchers are calculating from first principles the electronic properties of atoms and molecules Physicists are studying the molecular structure of the surface of water A project in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics involves studying surface catalysis of chemical reactions Animal and poultry scientists are doing genetic parameter estimations in livestock and landscape arshychitects are doing photorealistic rendering in their work
Under an agreement with Silicon Graphics the University received substantial discounts on equipshyment and maintenance In return the University will serve as a testing ground for Silicon equipment inshycluding a high-performance GTX graphics subsystem that will be evaluated and demonstrated at a 1991 computing conference on campus
New PhD program approved
This spring the University received final approval for a new PhD program in applied mathematics and apshyplied statistics The program offers a unique combinashytion of emphases says Prof Bill Smith Department of Mathematics and Statistics ll1cse include specializashytions in mathematical biology dynamical systems numerical analysis and optimization linear and nonshylinear models survival analysis life testing and bioassay
The program reflects current interest in the major scientific diScipl ines and recognizes the levels of scholarship and research within the department says Smith These specialties along with the uepartments state-of-the-art comp uter facilities make it one of the most advanced in the country
The department has established a unique industry link through the Math and Stats Cl inic and offers stushydents access to an advanced computer research laboratory Established in 1980 the clinic conducts reshysearch for industry sponsors develops software presents short courses and offers a consulting service Each of the problems that it tackles for industry beshycomes a teaching tool offering valuable experience to both graduate and undergraduate students
In 1983 the department installed the first undershygraduate microcomputer lab on campus and has conshytinued to upgrade equipment n le departments computer facili ties are probably unrivalled by any similar department in Canada says Smith
Faculty supervise 25 graduate students in MSc and PhD programs in the University-wide biophysics group the Guelph-Waterloo Program in Physics and the new departmental program

EC WILLIAMS OAC 34 1903-1974
OAC welcomed the Welshman
Whether it was his red hair or his Welsh ancestry Edmund C Williams OAC 34 was one of the colleges most determined and colorful students
--
Born in Wales in 1903 Williams came to Canada at m early age and worked as a farm hand before moving to the nited States With a college education ltCj his goal he inshyvested the money he earned as a construcshytion worker a lumberjack and a cowpuncher only to see it evaporate in the financial c rash of 1929
Poorer but no less determined Williams arrived at OAC in September 1929 to enrol in the associate diploma program in agriculture He found a snldent job at 25 cents an hour and talked the head of the chemistry department into Jetshyting him sleep on a cot in the basement
Its reported that Williams existed for a whole academic year on porridge cheese and stale bread liberated from the college dining room
When Williams completed the two-year program in 1931 he immediately enrolled in the intershymediate year and moved his cot to the attic of the dairy building
After graduation he returned to Britain to work at the Nationallnstilute for Research in Dairyshying He later worked for a dairy in North Wales and moved to Singapore in 1938 to become general manager of Cold Storage Creameries Ltd
His determination stood him in good stead during the Jlpanese invasion of Malaya - 1941 to 1945 - when he WlS interred in Changi A happier time followed in 1948 when he met and marshyried his wife Muriel
The couple eventlJally returned [Q the United Kingdom to retire on the Isk of Man In 1971 Williams came to Guelph for a class reunion He toured the campus with classmate Ron Greenwood OAC 34 and purchased two alumni ties ai mementos of his college days at Guelph
Williams died in 1974 leaving a bequest of nearly half a million dollars to provide scholarship awards to OAC students run ed in memory of his mother the Mary Edmunds Williams Fellowships of $4000 each are awarded annually to 12 OAC students in PhD or MSc programs
When MUliei Williams died in January 1989 a further bequest of more than S 1 million was received to provide schOlarships of $5000 a year for PhD students in OAe These awards totalling $135000 annually enhance the competitiveness of OAC departments in attracting top gradate stushydents to Guelph
Ee Williams is remembered fondly by his classmates and college And by the many graduate stushy -dents who have benefited from his determination to succeed

--------------- peers says family studies professor Susan Lollis Fightshying is an important social activity for children says Lollis who is workshying with Hildy Ross a psychology professor at the University of Watershy100 to learn how toddlers develop relationships with other children of the same age
In addition to fighting they someshytimes give Mom a break by engaging in pretend play structured games and conversation
When she began her research on peer relationships Lollis was primarily interested in what mothers say to their children about how to get

along with their peers We wanted to know how kids initially learn rules that we as adults know when interacting with another individual such as Dont use anothers propershyty without permission
They looked specifically at matershynal intervention when children are fighting and found that mothers freshyquently got involved in play-time conflicts and usually directed comshyments to their own child And what they said overwhelmingly supshyported the other child says Lollis
She found that conflicts over obshyjects or toys have different rules and categories Object fights erupted over concepts such as ownership and prior possession Youngsters as young as 20 months understand who owns an object she says A common claim was Its mine
Toddlers also understand the concept of prior possession which means that whoever has an object may play with it until it is given up All parents know the cry had it first An interesting fact about obshyject fights is that children fight even if there is no object or if there are 10 identical objects says Lollis
The study found that mothers generally told their own children to share objects in their possession but to respect prior ownership if it was another child who had the obshyject
Lollis says mothers should not be criticized for this inconsistency beshycause they may be balancing several social agendas at once Over and above teaching their children rules related to ownership and prior posshysession of objects mothers are also teaching concepts ofgenerosity compassion and generally how to be good hosts to others Sometimes the basic rules for entitlement can conflict with consideration for others she says
Lollis and Ross are also involved in a study on sibling interaction and rules of conduct within a family unit supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council

Are you buying strawberry-flavored dinosaurs by Barbara Chance
Ifyouve ever had to wade your way through a grocery aisle full of sugar-coated strawberry-flavored battery-operated cereal in the shape of dinosaurs to find the corn flakes youve been buying since you were old enough to solo with a shopping cart youve probably asked yourself Who needs all this
And the answer is Somebody If enough somebodies somewhere werent buying this cereal it wouldnt be sitting on the shelf says Prof Trevor Watts Department of Consumer Studies
Of course some products dont have much of a life on the shelf They become a fad for a year then slip into oblivion when a new fad comes along Kids cereals in parshyticular have a knack for passing comet-like through your friendly neighborhood grocery store says Watts Its because young people today want so much variety and change
Todays manufacturers need to
know their consumers and markets well says Watts Introducing any new product is a huge financial risk so manufacturers need to know whos going to buy their product and whether or not its going to be around for awhile If its just going to be a fad they need to be able to
plan it as a fad product and profit from it while it lasts
There is a continual effort to inshytroduce products on the market says Watts but a lot of them fail The failure rate of new food products - from original idea to being successful on the shelf - has been estimated as high as 80 per cent The biggest cause of failure is that the product doesnt fulfil a
Guelph Alumnus
need in the consumers eyes Its also a question of timing he
says Sometimes a product can be introduced before consumers are ready to accept it Twenty-five years ago a baby food was put out on test market in a package rather ilian a glass jar After it was opened it had to be refrigerated It fa iled in the test market because people couldn t believe that baby food could be good and safe if it wasnt in a glass jar Three years ago a similar concept of dehydrated baby food that sits on the shelf in a plasshytic container was introduced and apshypears to be successful The failed baby food was just 25 years too soon
Because of the high cost of introshyducing new products many manufacturers today choose simp ly to change or improve the old ones instead Thats why youll read a new and improved label on your favorite pudding or detergent every few years
Peripheral variations involve much less time and expense for reshysearch and development and much less risk for a manufacturer says
Watts But they dont necessarily sucshy
ceed either Sometimes manufacshyturers have to learn the hard way that you cant always improve on a good thing Just ask the corn chip makers who decided a great variashytion on their product would be to color the chips blue

1976 1983 Q ~
7000 graduates and still counting
OAC reached a milestone in June when Cheryl Stanley of Bristol Que became the 7000th graduate of the diploma in agriculture program Primarily funded by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food the proshygram began in 1874 and according to these other mileshystone graduates has been picking up speed ever since
1000 - Frank Paterson 12A of Scarborough Township Ont graduated from the program when he was 18 and went to work for $1200 a year as an assistant agricultural representative in Peel County When he retired 48 years later - earning $9000 a year - he had also served the districts of Muskoka Parry Sound and East Nipissing and the counties of Durham Norfolk Weiland and Peterborough He died in 1977 Paterson was folshylowed to Guelph by his brother George OAC 24 his daughter Molly Nix Mac 410 and four grandchildren

Shuttle bound Only a handful of
Canadians will ever have the chance to look at Earth the way Roberta Bondar OAC 68 will
Canadas first female astronaut Bondar will be part of a seven-memshyber Columbia shuttle mission scheduled for launch in mid-199I
When Im not taking my work shift Ill be looking out the window says the 44shyyear-old native of Sault Ste Marie Ont
As a payload specialist Bondar will carry out research acshytivities on behalf of scientists in 13 countries Her main area of interest deals with space sickness and the effect space travel has on the movement of body fluids
A graduate of Guelphs zoology program Bondar received an honorary degree from the Univershysity in June She told fellow graduates that the space program has made her more aware of how unique this planet is We need to use the knowledge gained through space science to raise the consciousshyness of whats happening to our enshyvironment on a global scale
Whats after space for Bondar Getting back to Earth both literally and figuratively she says
Being part of Canadas history is great but there are a lot of other things I want to do in my life I
started out at Guelph 22 years ago in an environmental vein and now Im corning back to it
I t was a Grade 10 science project that brought Bondar to Guelph Inshyfluenced by Rachel Carsons book Silent Spring she wanted to do a project on genetic resistance to DDT in fruit flies
I was probably 10 years too early for that project says Bondar but I was at least a month too late in starting it

Computer simulation by Doug Masters
Heading into
SPACE to look at Earth
laboratory in Sault Ste Marie conshyvinced her to look instead at an inshyfestation of the tent caterpillar Eventually they gave her a summer job at the lab and introduced her to Guelphs programs in the biological sciences
She later earned an MSc from the niversity of Western Ontario and a PhD from the University of Toronto before enrolling in medical school at McMaster University She was assistant professor of neurology in McMasters faculty of medicine when she heard a radio anshynouncement in July 1983 that Canada was planning to initiate an astronaut program
Acceptance into the astronaut program fulfilled a lifelong dream for Bondar but she acknowledges that few Canadians will be able to achieve the same dream
Canadas space program relies on launching facilities in other
countries so we dont need many astronauts she says Opportunities are much greater in the other wings of the space program
For years Canadian scientists have been acshytive in space science looking at upper atmosshyphere stars and other objects in the universe
We are world exshyperts in certain areas says Bondar We also have a fantastic reputashytion for building great communication satelshylites and for using other satellites for remote sensing (looking down on the Earth)
Canada will put up its own Earth observashytion satellite (Radarshysat) early in this
decade she says It will have radar facility to help us look through ice blocks and to invenshytory our wildlife and our forest stands
Bondar says Canada will also launch a mobile satellite comshymunications system that will help people in the North communicate with each other
Another wing focusing on space technology was responsible for the development of the Canadarm and is now working on robotics for a space station she says
Bondar has been in training for space flight since 1984 Her gruelshyling physical conditioning includes lifting weights to prepare for the extra 90 pounds of safety equipshyment that astronauts are now reshyquired to wear
A new launch escape suit was designed during NASAs safety review after the 1986 Challenger acshycident Bondar says NASA can not eliminate the potential danger of those first 2 12 minutes after liftoff but the new escape system will protect the astronauts if the orbiter is unable to make a runway landing
Despite the dangers Bondar says she feels as much trepidation about renting a car as she does about stepshyping into the shuttle Anytime you
25
have a p iece of enshygineering that you rely on other people for and your life depends on it its nerve- rackshying
To be part of the space program there arc certain dangers you have LO accept she says This is very risky business I11ese are pioneering days
Because of the high profile of the astronaut program a large part of Bondars job involshyves puhlic relations I think we astronauts have a responsibility to be very knowledgeable about the other parts of the space program and to pass on that knowledge to the general public
Always ttJJing to be efficient Roberta Bondar centre refused to study during her undergraduate _years at Guelph hecause going OVet-the same material taken in didnt make sense I had othet things 10 do But when a severe case ofmurnps kept her out Of classor several weeks she w(lSforred to learn how to study from textbooks ~iomethillg good comes outoevery negative exshyperience she says And that includes long-standing friendships with Elizabeth Waywell OAC MSc 70 left and retired professor Susan Corey right CO~I was my zoology professor and Way well was a graduate student in zoology who took me to her Gordon Stteel bome to recuperate says Bondar They rea~)I saved my year
communications has stood her in good stead she says Even as a student I had a real commitment that scienshytists should be able to communicate their ideas better
She encourages people - especially young people - to write for information posters photographs and lapel pins to the public relations branch of the Canadian Space Agency National Reshysearch Council of Canada Building M60 Montreal Road Ottawa KIA OR6
Space is uppermost in the minds of our young people because they can see it in their fu ture Bondar says

Wildlife pathologist Ian Barker OVC 68 and MSc 70 has relieved public concern about insect-transmitted disease of potential danger to both dogs and humans
In Canada Lyme disease hysteria is far more comshymon than Lyme disease itself says Barker Canadians and their pets appear to be at very low risk of contractshying the disease he says
In an Ontario study the tick that carries the disease Ixodes dammini was found in nature at only one locashytion - Long Point on Lake Erie There is a greater risk in the coastal northeastern United States from Masshysachusetts to Delaware Minnesota Wisconsin and parts of the Pacific northwest
Lyme disease is readily treatable by antibiotics if diagshynosed early but its difficult to diagnose because it mimics other conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Bells Palsy People most prone to the disease are outdoor workers and outdoor enthusiasts
In the United States the disease has also been implishycated in arthritis and myocarditis in dogs arthritis and abortion in cattle and ophthalmic disease encephalitis and arthritis in horses
Researchers still have a lot to learn about the diagshy
~--nosis of the disease and the transmission biology of the tick says Barker The only distinctive clinical sign is a bulls-eye rash around the tick bite but only 50 to 60 per cent of infected persons develop the rash Blood tests may also be inconclusive
He is currently working on a study for Health and Welfare Canada to determine ways of preventing the disease in Canada and to gain a better understanding of the ticks biology Insect repellents long pants and shirts are the best preventive measures he says
28
S uper Match 90 sponsorship of the OVC Pet Tmst Fund is one way of showing the public that the college is serious about canine disease Passing on the knowledge gained through research is another
Over the summer pathology professor Owen Slocombe OVC 61 a specialist in parasitology has been interviewed several times about his research into heartworm - a debilitating mosquito-borne disease afshyfecting dogs
Although the disease is slowly moving northward from the United States most dogs in Canada are not at serious risk says Slocombe Heartworm is considered endemic around the cities of Montreal and Winnipeg and in lower southern Ontario along Lake Erie the Niagara region and Lake Ontario and north of Toronto around the Lake Simcoe Peterborough and Midland areas
Slocombes research at OVC is the first in the world to define the diseases transmission period He found the rate of worm development is linearly related to temperature ranging from 29 days at 18 C to only nine days at 30 C In Ontario for example the transmission period is June 1 to Oct 8
The worm initially develops in the skin and muscle and gradually moves into blood vessels asshysociated with the heart and lungs causing weakshyness and impaired breathing It can also cause
liver and kidney damage The condition is treatable but the treatment is both expensive and severe
Slocombe has monitored the disease annually since 1976 and says the prevalence in Canada has decreased because ofpreventive efforts by veterinarians One Onshytario survey found heartworm in 16 per cent of dogs not taking preventive medicine compared with one per cent in dogs that were

Lobby group formed
niversity alumni from five major Ontario universitics - Guelph Queens Toronto Waterloo and Western - ha e joined forces to orshyganize a citizens group to lobby the Ontario government for more fu ndshying for universities
Fri middot nds of Ontario niversities is the b ginning of a pennanent lobby group representing the intershycsts of universities says Lisa Wilson HAFA 84 president of the HAFA Alumni Association
The objective is to assist Ontario universities by promoting apshypropriate government funding policies says Wilson The first priority will be to try to reverse the current trend in reduced governshyment spending in higher education she says
According to the Council of Onshytario Univcrsiti s (COU) the universities share of total governshyment spending has declined from 59 per cent in 197778 to 45 per cent in 198990 Wilson says itsesshytimatcd that Ontario ranks ninth among the 10 provinces in terms of government support per student
Friends of Ontario niversities will also try to encourage business and individuals to become more inshyvolved in the support of universities
The group is encouraging people to question their MPPs and provinshycial candidates about university fundshying Ask what they intend to do to benefit Ontario universities she says
The GAA has supported three proposals put forth by COU for disshycussion during the provincial elecshytion campaign
The proposals include a governshyment commitment to match private gifts to universities a trust for the adshyvancement of the social scicnces and humanities and infrastructure supshyport for science and technology to rebuild stocks of scientific and techshynological equipment supporting the provinces new thrust in this area
Wilson also hopes to organize a Univer ity of Guelph group as an ann of the provincial organization For more infonnation call Alumni House 519-824-4120 Ext 21 22

A profile of artists Jane and Ron Eccles
We had the sense that everyshything is possible says artistJane Eccles Arts 70 of her student days at the University of Guelph
One gets the same feeling from Janes Patch Work canvases which now hang over the main stairway of the MacKinnon buildshying Patch Work depicts the fea shytures and the personali ties of 10 women scrambling their images to form something of a female archetype The women seem to understand each others symshybolism - they adapt and exshychange qualities with each other
The 20 canvases share the Guelph alcove with a sculpture by Walter Bachinski - the fine art professor who helped instil in Jane that feeling ofpossibilities - and a new abstract painting by her husband Ron Arts 70 Enshytitled Erratic it uses the colors of earth stone and sand to mellow strong geometric shapes
I think of myself as building structures as much as paiming pictures says Ron
The couple met and married while studying art at Guelph Ron had transferred from the Onshytario College ofArt to earn a BA Jane had been majoring in history and English - until she took classhyses in drawing and sculpture to relax from the pressure of thesis writing
My love of fine arts and for the individuals who create works of art was awakened at Guelph she says
Today the Eccles live and work in a renovated 1856 farmhouse in BowmanvilIe Ont Ron has been able to provide at -home care for their sons Ryan 10 and Bradley 6 while working at home Jane teaches art at Bowmanville High School
Jane was awarded a Marshall McLuhan Distinguished Teacher

botany professor Doug Larson was hanging over the cliff edge of the Niagara escarpment near Milshyton Ont to study lichens when he grabbed on to a secret that has surprised even the scientific community
He discovered that the gnaded halfshydead cedars growing on the cliffs are Ontarios oldest trees - some of them more than 700 years old
Larson and his colshyleagues were more than a little bit excited about the disshycovel) and the possibilities it offered for studies of past climates Not to mention the chance to find out how eastern white cedars - normally found in wet swampy areas - could survive for centuries without soil and in the extreme climatic conditions of the cliff face
The trees are still holding on to their secrets says Larson He was struck originally by their ability to grow slowly - some growth rings are only one or two cells wide Now he is equally amazed by the variability found in the ancient forest
Two 400-year-old trees growing only a few metres apart can vary in diameter from two-thirds of a metre to a few centimetres The first may have the normal 12 growth rings for every 25 centimetres ofwood whereas growth rings in the second may be only one or two cells in width
Shown as exact size tvis section of an ancient cedar shows more than 300 growth rings
Clinging to life on the edge of the Niagara escmpment the botshytom halfof tvis 625-year-old white cedar is dead but life conshytinues as the tree stretches upward

Its very difficult to make predictions about climatic conditions in the year 1590 when you only have two cells to look at says Larson
The dwarfed cedar is more interesting he says but the larger brother may provide more information Both are growing from cracks in the limestone cliff face They are nourished by water percolating through the porous limestone but how they got there is still just a theory he says
The perseverance of this ancient forest has generated a level of public interest that Larson hopes to harness Compared with other coniferous forests the trees are small and deformed and have little economic value This is the species used for rail fences and shingles not pulp and paper he says That means researchers can study them to explain the basic functiOning of forest ecosysshytems without stepping on anyones toes
The scientific community needs to do a better job of educating people about the dynamics of a forest says Larson The ancient cedars contradict the common pershyception that old trees are large
If we discover that the growth and survival of this species requires a degree of interaction in the ecosysshytem that we dont provide then it may change the way we grow and harvest conifers in other places he says
Forest undergrowth survives harvesting
Harvesting trees doesnt seem to have any short-term adverse effects on the shrubs and undergrowth in southshycentral Ontario forests says botany professor Richard Reader But he cautions there isnt enough data to make predictions for the long-term impact on either the richshyness or the variety of the plant species making up the forest undergrowth
Reader has been monitoring Carolinian deciduous forests on the north shore of Lake Erie for the last five years His study supported by Ontarios Ministry of Natural Resources was intended to determine the imshypact selective cutting in these forests - that is current harvesting practices - would have on the undergrowth
This layer of vegetation is important because it conshytains some species ofplants that are only found on the shores of Lake Erie After conducting a pre-harvest assessshyment Reader selectively cut the largest most economishycally important trees remOving up to two-thirds of the trees in the forest This represents the extremes - from minimal operation to intensive cutting The ministry was interested in minimizing the impact that cutting would have on the understory growth says Reader
As it turns out there was no short-term impact he says The shrub layer and herbaceous species regenerated rapidly both in their density and in the -types of species that grew back
These preliminary findings should not be interpreted as a licence to cut up to two-thirds of available trees in forests he says The long-term implications of intensive cutting need a longer observation period

Supercomputing comes to campus
The University has entered a new league of reshysearch computing with its acquisition of a millionshydollar project supercomputer system from Silicon Graphics Canada Inc to establish a numerically intenshysive computing (NIC) faCility on campus
The faCility will allow Guelph scientists and stushydents to do large-scale research computations It will include two project supercomputers the IRIS POWER Series 4D 340S and 4D 380S Together the machines have 192 megabytes of core memory and 34 gigabytes of disk storage capacity
Many disciplines and research projects will benefit from the computing power available in the NIC faCility For example chemistry and biochemistry researchers are calculating from first principles the electronic properties of atoms and molecules Physicists are studying the molecular structure of the surface of water A project in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics involves studying surface catalysis of chemical reactions Animal and poultry scientists are doing genetic parameter estimations in livestock and landscape arshychitects are doing photorealistic rendering in their work
Under an agreement with Silicon Graphics the University received substantial discounts on equipshyment and maintenance In return the University will serve as a testing ground for Silicon equipment inshycluding a high-performance GTX graphics subsystem that will be evaluated and demonstrated at a 1991 computing conference on campus
New PhD program approved
This spring the University received final approval for a new PhD program in applied mathematics and apshyplied statistics The program offers a unique combinashytion of emphases says Prof Bill Smith Department of Mathematics and Statistics ll1cse include specializashytions in mathematical biology dynamical systems numerical analysis and optimization linear and nonshylinear models survival analysis life testing and bioassay
The program reflects current interest in the major scientific diScipl ines and recognizes the levels of scholarship and research within the department says Smith These specialties along with the uepartments state-of-the-art comp uter facilities make it one of the most advanced in the country
The department has established a unique industry link through the Math and Stats Cl inic and offers stushydents access to an advanced computer research laboratory Established in 1980 the clinic conducts reshysearch for industry sponsors develops software presents short courses and offers a consulting service Each of the problems that it tackles for industry beshycomes a teaching tool offering valuable experience to both graduate and undergraduate students
In 1983 the department installed the first undershygraduate microcomputer lab on campus and has conshytinued to upgrade equipment n le departments computer facili ties are probably unrivalled by any similar department in Canada says Smith
Faculty supervise 25 graduate students in MSc and PhD programs in the University-wide biophysics group the Guelph-Waterloo Program in Physics and the new departmental program

EC WILLIAMS OAC 34 1903-1974
OAC welcomed the Welshman
Whether it was his red hair or his Welsh ancestry Edmund C Williams OAC 34 was one of the colleges most determined and colorful students
--
Born in Wales in 1903 Williams came to Canada at m early age and worked as a farm hand before moving to the nited States With a college education ltCj his goal he inshyvested the money he earned as a construcshytion worker a lumberjack and a cowpuncher only to see it evaporate in the financial c rash of 1929
Poorer but no less determined Williams arrived at OAC in September 1929 to enrol in the associate diploma program in agriculture He found a snldent job at 25 cents an hour and talked the head of the chemistry department into Jetshyting him sleep on a cot in the basement
Its reported that Williams existed for a whole academic year on porridge cheese and stale bread liberated from the college dining room
When Williams completed the two-year program in 1931 he immediately enrolled in the intershymediate year and moved his cot to the attic of the dairy building
After graduation he returned to Britain to work at the Nationallnstilute for Research in Dairyshying He later worked for a dairy in North Wales and moved to Singapore in 1938 to become general manager of Cold Storage Creameries Ltd
His determination stood him in good stead during the Jlpanese invasion of Malaya - 1941 to 1945 - when he WlS interred in Changi A happier time followed in 1948 when he met and marshyried his wife Muriel
The couple eventlJally returned [Q the United Kingdom to retire on the Isk of Man In 1971 Williams came to Guelph for a class reunion He toured the campus with classmate Ron Greenwood OAC 34 and purchased two alumni ties ai mementos of his college days at Guelph
Williams died in 1974 leaving a bequest of nearly half a million dollars to provide scholarship awards to OAC students run ed in memory of his mother the Mary Edmunds Williams Fellowships of $4000 each are awarded annually to 12 OAC students in PhD or MSc programs
When MUliei Williams died in January 1989 a further bequest of more than S 1 million was received to provide schOlarships of $5000 a year for PhD students in OAe These awards totalling $135000 annually enhance the competitiveness of OAC departments in attracting top gradate stushydents to Guelph
Ee Williams is remembered fondly by his classmates and college And by the many graduate stushy -dents who have benefited from his determination to succeed

along with their peers We wanted to know how kids initially learn rules that we as adults know when interacting with another individual such as Dont use anothers propershyty without permission
They looked specifically at matershynal intervention when children are fighting and found that mothers freshyquently got involved in play-time conflicts and usually directed comshyments to their own child And what they said overwhelmingly supshyported the other child says Lollis
She found that conflicts over obshyjects or toys have different rules and categories Object fights erupted over concepts such as ownership and prior possession Youngsters as young as 20 months understand who owns an object she says A common claim was Its mine
Toddlers also understand the concept of prior possession which means that whoever has an object may play with it until it is given up All parents know the cry had it first An interesting fact about obshyject fights is that children fight even if there is no object or if there are 10 identical objects says Lollis
The study found that mothers generally told their own children to share objects in their possession but to respect prior ownership if it was another child who had the obshyject
Lollis says mothers should not be criticized for this inconsistency beshycause they may be balancing several social agendas at once Over and above teaching their children rules related to ownership and prior posshysession of objects mothers are also teaching concepts ofgenerosity compassion and generally how to be good hosts to others Sometimes the basic rules for entitlement can conflict with consideration for others she says
Lollis and Ross are also involved in a study on sibling interaction and rules of conduct within a family unit supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council

Are you buying strawberry-flavored dinosaurs by Barbara Chance
Ifyouve ever had to wade your way through a grocery aisle full of sugar-coated strawberry-flavored battery-operated cereal in the shape of dinosaurs to find the corn flakes youve been buying since you were old enough to solo with a shopping cart youve probably asked yourself Who needs all this
And the answer is Somebody If enough somebodies somewhere werent buying this cereal it wouldnt be sitting on the shelf says Prof Trevor Watts Department of Consumer Studies
Of course some products dont have much of a life on the shelf They become a fad for a year then slip into oblivion when a new fad comes along Kids cereals in parshyticular have a knack for passing comet-like through your friendly neighborhood grocery store says Watts Its because young people today want so much variety and change
Todays manufacturers need to
know their consumers and markets well says Watts Introducing any new product is a huge financial risk so manufacturers need to know whos going to buy their product and whether or not its going to be around for awhile If its just going to be a fad they need to be able to
plan it as a fad product and profit from it while it lasts
There is a continual effort to inshytroduce products on the market says Watts but a lot of them fail The failure rate of new food products - from original idea to being successful on the shelf - has been estimated as high as 80 per cent The biggest cause of failure is that the product doesnt fulfil a
Guelph Alumnus
need in the consumers eyes Its also a question of timing he
says Sometimes a product can be introduced before consumers are ready to accept it Twenty-five years ago a baby food was put out on test market in a package rather ilian a glass jar After it was opened it had to be refrigerated It fa iled in the test market because people couldn t believe that baby food could be good and safe if it wasnt in a glass jar Three years ago a similar concept of dehydrated baby food that sits on the shelf in a plasshytic container was introduced and apshypears to be successful The failed baby food was just 25 years too soon
Because of the high cost of introshyducing new products many manufacturers today choose simp ly to change or improve the old ones instead Thats why youll read a new and improved label on your favorite pudding or detergent every few years
Peripheral variations involve much less time and expense for reshysearch and development and much less risk for a manufacturer says
Watts But they dont necessarily sucshy
ceed either Sometimes manufacshyturers have to learn the hard way that you cant always improve on a good thing Just ask the corn chip makers who decided a great variashytion on their product would be to color the chips blue

Diploma program celebrates milestone
1976 1983 Q ~
7000 graduates and still counting
OAC reached a milestone in June when Cheryl Stanley of Bristol Que became the 7000th graduate of the diploma in agriculture program Primarily funded by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food the proshygram began in 1874 and according to these other mileshystone graduates has been picking up speed ever since

Shuttle bound Only a handful of
Canadians will ever have the chance to look at Earth the way Roberta Bondar OAC 68 will
Canadas first female astronaut Bondar will be part of a seven-memshyber Columbia shuttle mission scheduled for launch in mid-199I
When Im not taking my work shift Ill be looking out the window says the 44shyyear-old native of Sault Ste Marie Ont
As a payload specialist Bondar will carry out research acshytivities on behalf of scientists in 13 countries Her main area of interest deals with space sickness and the effect space travel has on the movement of body fluids
A graduate of Guelphs zoology program Bondar received an honorary degree from the Univershysity in June She told fellow graduates that the space program has made her more aware of how unique this planet is We need to use the knowledge gained through space science to raise the consciousshyness of whats happening to our enshyvironment on a global scale
Whats after space for Bondar Getting back to Earth both literally and figuratively she says
Being part of Canadas history is great but there are a lot of other things I want to do in my life I
started out at Guelph 22 years ago in an environmental vein and now Im corning back to it
I t was a Grade 10 science project that brought Bondar to Guelph Inshyfluenced by Rachel Carsons book Silent Spring she wanted to do a project on genetic resistance to DDT in fruit flies
I was probably 10 years too early for that project says Bondar but I was at least a month too late in starting it

Computer simulation by Doug Masters
Heading into
SPACE to look at Earth
laboratory in Sault Ste Marie conshyvinced her to look instead at an inshyfestation of the tent caterpillar Eventually they gave her a summer job at the lab and introduced her to Guelphs programs in the biological sciences
She later earned an MSc from the niversity of Western Ontario and a PhD from the University of Toronto before enrolling in medical school at McMaster University She was assistant professor of neurology in McMasters faculty of medicine when she heard a radio anshynouncement in July 1983 that Canada was planning to initiate an astronaut program
Acceptance into the astronaut program fulfilled a lifelong dream for Bondar but she acknowledges that few Canadians will be able to achieve the same dream
Canadas space program relies on launching facilities in other
countries so we dont need many astronauts she says Opportunities are much greater in the other wings of the space program
For years Canadian scientists have been acshytive in space science looking at upper atmosshyphere stars and other objects in the universe
We are world exshyperts in certain areas says Bondar We also have a fantastic reputashytion for building great communication satelshylites and for using other satellites for remote sensing (looking down on the Earth)
Canada will put up its own Earth observashytion satellite (Radarshysat) early in this
decade she says It will have radar facility to help us look through ice blocks and to invenshytory our wildlife and our forest stands
Bondar says Canada will also launch a mobile satellite comshymunications system that will help people in the North communicate with each other
Another wing focusing on space technology was responsible for the development of the Canadarm and is now working on robotics for a space station she says
Bondar has been in training for space flight since 1984 Her gruelshyling physical conditioning includes lifting weights to prepare for the extra 90 pounds of safety equipshyment that astronauts are now reshyquired to wear
A new launch escape suit was designed during NASAs safety review after the 1986 Challenger acshycident Bondar says NASA can not eliminate the potential danger of those first 2 12 minutes after liftoff but the new escape system will protect the astronauts if the orbiter is unable to make a runway landing
Despite the dangers Bondar says she feels as much trepidation about renting a car as she does about stepshyping into the shuttle Anytime you
25
have a p iece of enshygineering that you rely on other people for and your life depends on it its nerve- rackshying
To be part of the space program there arc certain dangers you have LO accept she says This is very risky business I11ese are pioneering days
Because of the high profile of the astronaut program a large part of Bondars job involshyves puhlic relations I think we astronauts have a responsibility to be very knowledgeable about the other parts of the space program and to pass on that knowledge to the general public
Always ttJJing to be efficient Roberta Bondar centre refused to study during her undergraduate _years at Guelph hecause going OVet-the same material taken in didnt make sense I had othet things 10 do But when a severe case ofmurnps kept her out Of classor several weeks she w(lSforred to learn how to study from textbooks ~iomethillg good comes outoevery negative exshyperience she says And that includes long-standing friendships with Elizabeth Waywell OAC MSc 70 left and retired professor Susan Corey right CO~I was my zoology professor and Way well was a graduate student in zoology who took me to her Gordon Stteel bome to recuperate says Bondar They rea~)I saved my year
communications has stood her in good stead she says Even as a student I had a real commitment that scienshytists should be able to communicate their ideas better
She encourages people - especially young people - to write for information posters photographs and lapel pins to the public relations branch of the Canadian Space Agency National Reshysearch Council of Canada Building M60 Montreal Road Ottawa KIA OR6
Space is uppermost in the minds of our young people because they can see it in their fu ture Bondar says

Sharing the honor
These things you are honoring me for were not done in isolation said Dr Kenneth Wells 38 on receiving the 1990 OVC Distinshyguished Alumnus award at Alumni Weekend I had the help of a very good team namely the veterinarians of
Canada many of whom are here today Wel1s did indeed work with many OVC colshy
leagues during his 19 years as veterinary directorshygeneral of Canada During his career he served 36 years with Agriculture Canadas Health of Animals Branch and is one of the few civil servants known personally by almost every prominent stock producer in the country
Andrew Smith
blacksmiths without any formal training Smith was both a veterinarian and an avid horseshyman He showed horsts unti l hI was well into his 70s says Wingate and he d ied in J9 10
Perhaps it was family tradition that brought Wingate to OVC after all
Dr Desmond Hill OVC 50 and his wife Margaret came all the way from North Yorkshire England to attend Alumni Weekend The camp us has changed he said bu t ove people are just asfriend~y as they were 40 years ago Hill is retired from the International Livestock Centre for Africa

Wildlife pathologist Ian Barker OVC 68 and MSc 70 has relieved public concern about insect-transmitted disease of potential danger to both dogs and humans
In Canada Lyme disease hysteria is far more comshymon than Lyme disease itself says Barker Canadians and their pets appear to be at very low risk of contractshying the disease he says
In an Ontario study the tick that carries the disease Ixodes dammini was found in nature at only one locashytion - Long Point on Lake Erie There is a greater risk in the coastal northeastern United States from Masshysachusetts to Delaware Minnesota Wisconsin and parts of the Pacific northwest
Lyme disease is readily treatable by antibiotics if diagshynosed early but its difficult to diagnose because it mimics other conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Bells Palsy People most prone to the disease are outdoor workers and outdoor enthusiasts
In the United States the disease has also been implishycated in arthritis and myocarditis in dogs arthritis and abortion in cattle and ophthalmic disease encephalitis and arthritis in horses
Researchers still have a lot to learn about the diagshy
~--nosis of the disease and the transmission biology of the tick says Barker The only distinctive clinical sign is a bulls-eye rash around the tick bite but only 50 to 60 per cent of infected persons develop the rash Blood tests may also be inconclusive
He is currently working on a study for Health and Welfare Canada to determine ways of preventing the disease in Canada and to gain a better understanding of the ticks biology Insect repellents long pants and shirts are the best preventive measures he says
28
S uper Match 90 sponsorship of the OVC Pet Tmst Fund is one way of showing the public that the college is serious about canine disease Passing on the knowledge gained through research is another
Over the summer pathology professor Owen Slocombe OVC 61 a specialist in parasitology has been interviewed several times about his research into heartworm - a debilitating mosquito-borne disease afshyfecting dogs
Although the disease is slowly moving northward from the United States most dogs in Canada are not at serious risk says Slocombe Heartworm is considered endemic around the cities of Montreal and Winnipeg and in lower southern Ontario along Lake Erie the Niagara region and Lake Ontario and north of Toronto around the Lake Simcoe Peterborough and Midland areas
Slocombes research at OVC is the first in the world to define the diseases transmission period He found the rate of worm development is linearly related to temperature ranging from 29 days at 18 C to only nine days at 30 C In Ontario for example the transmission period is June 1 to Oct 8
The worm initially develops in the skin and muscle and gradually moves into blood vessels asshysociated with the heart and lungs causing weakshyness and impaired breathing It can also cause
liver and kidney damage The condition is treatable but the treatment is both expensive and severe
Slocombe has monitored the disease annually since 1976 and says the prevalence in Canada has decreased because ofpreventive efforts by veterinarians One Onshytario survey found heartworm in 16 per cent of dogs not taking preventive medicine compared with one per cent in dogs that were

A profile of artists Jane and Ron Eccles
We had the sense that everyshything is possible says artistJane Eccles Arts 70 of her student days at the University of Guelph
One gets the same feeling from Janes Patch Work canvases which now hang over the main stairway of the MacKinnon buildshying Patch Work depicts the fea shytures and the personali ties of 10 women scrambling their images to form something of a female archetype The women seem to understand each others symshybolism - they adapt and exshychange qualities with each other
The 20 canvases share the Guelph alcove with a sculpture by Walter Bachinski - the fine art professor who helped instil in Jane that feeling ofpossibilities - and a new abstract painting by her husband Ron Arts 70 Enshytitled Erratic it uses the colors of earth stone and sand to mellow strong geometric shapes
I think of myself as building structures as much as paiming pictures says Ron
The couple met and married while studying art at Guelph Ron had transferred from the Onshytario College ofArt to earn a BA Jane had been majoring in history and English - until she took classhyses in drawing and sculpture to relax from the pressure of thesis writing
My love of fine arts and for the individuals who create works of art was awakened at Guelph she says
Today the Eccles live and work in a renovated 1856 farmhouse in BowmanvilIe Ont Ron has been able to provide at -home care for their sons Ryan 10 and Bradley 6 while working at home Jane teaches art at Bowmanville High School
Jane was awarded a Marshall McLuhan Distinguished Teacher

Cedars hold on to secret of long-life Two years ago
botany professor Doug Larson was hanging over the cliff edge of the Niagara escarpment near Milshyton Ont to study lichens when he grabbed on to a secret that has surprised even the scientific community
He discovered that the gnaded halfshydead cedars growing on the cliffs are Ontarios oldest trees - some of them more than 700 years old
Larson and his colshyleagues were more than a little bit excited about the disshycovel) and the possibilities it offered for studies of past climates Not to mention the chance to find out how eastern white cedars - normally found in wet swampy areas - could survive for centuries without soil and in the extreme climatic conditions of the cliff face
The trees are still holding on to their secrets says Larson He was struck originally by their ability to grow slowly - some growth rings are only one or two cells wide Now he is equally amazed by the variability found in the ancient forest
Two 400-year-old trees growing only a few metres apart can vary in diameter from two-thirds of a metre to a few centimetres The first may have the normal 12 growth rings for every 25 centimetres ofwood whereas growth rings in the second may be only one or two cells in width
Shown as exact size tvis section of an ancient cedar shows more than 300 growth rings
Clinging to life on the edge of the Niagara escmpment the botshytom halfof tvis 625-year-old white cedar is dead but life conshytinues as the tree stretches upward
16
Its very difficult to make predictions about climatic conditions in the year 1590 when you only have two cells to look at says Larson
The dwarfed cedar is more interesting he says but the larger brother may provide more information Both are growing from cracks in the limestone cliff face They are nourished by water percolating through the porous limestone but how they got there is still just a theory he says
The perseverance of this ancient forest has generated a level of public interest that Larson hopes to harness Compared with other coniferous forests the trees are small and deformed and have little economic value This is the species used for rail fences and shingles not pulp and paper he says That means researchers can study them to explain the basic functiOning of forest ecosysshytems without stepping on anyones toes
The scientific community needs to do a better job of educating people about the dynamics of a forest says Larson The ancient cedars contradict the common pershyception that old trees are large
If we discover that the growth and survival of this species requires a degree of interaction in the ecosysshytem that we dont provide then it may change the way we grow and harvest conifers in other places he says
Forest undergrowth survives harvesting
Harvesting trees doesnt seem to have any short-term adverse effects on the shrubs and undergrowth in southshycentral Ontario forests says botany professor Richard Reader But he cautions there isnt enough data to make predictions for the long-term impact on either the richshyness or the variety of the plant species making up the forest undergrowth
Reader has been monitoring Carolinian deciduous forests on the north shore of Lake Erie for the last five years His study supported by Ontarios Ministry of Natural Resources was intended to determine the imshypact selective cutting in these forests - that is current harvesting practices - would have on the undergrowth
This layer of vegetation is important because it conshytains some species ofplants that are only found on the shores of Lake Erie After conducting a pre-harvest assessshyment Reader selectively cut the largest most economishycally important trees remOving up to two-thirds of the trees in the forest This represents the extremes - from minimal operation to intensive cutting The ministry was interested in minimizing the impact that cutting would have on the understory growth says Reader
As it turns out there was no short-term impact he says The shrub layer and herbaceous species regenerated rapidly both in their density and in the -types of species that grew back
These preliminary findings should not be interpreted as a licence to cut up to two-thirds of available trees in forests he says The long-term implications of intensive cutting need a longer observation period

Supercomputing comes to campus
The University has entered a new league of reshysearch computing with its acquisition of a millionshydollar project supercomputer system from Silicon Graphics Canada Inc to establish a numerically intenshysive computing (NIC) faCility on campus
The faCility will allow Guelph scientists and stushydents to do large-scale research computations It will include two project supercomputers the IRIS POWER Series 4D 340S and 4D 380S Together the machines have 192 megabytes of core memory and 34 gigabytes of disk storage capacity
Many disciplines and research projects will benefit from the computing power available in the NIC faCility For example chemistry and biochemistry researchers are calculating from first principles the electronic properties of atoms and molecules Physicists are studying the molecular structure of the surface of water A project in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics involves studying surface catalysis of chemical reactions Animal and poultry scientists are doing genetic parameter estimations in livestock and landscape arshychitects are doing photorealistic rendering in their work
Under an agreement with Silicon Graphics the University received substantial discounts on equipshyment and maintenance In return the University will serve as a testing ground for Silicon equipment inshycluding a high-performance GTX graphics subsystem that will be evaluated and demonstrated at a 1991 computing conference on campus
New PhD program approved
This spring the University received final approval for a new PhD program in applied mathematics and apshyplied statistics The program offers a unique combinashytion of emphases says Prof Bill Smith Department of Mathematics and Statistics ll1cse include specializashytions in mathematical biology dynamical systems numerical analysis and optimization linear and nonshylinear models survival analysis life testing and bioassay
The program reflects current interest in the major scientific diScipl ines and recognizes the levels of scholarship and research within the department says Smith These specialties along with the uepartments state-of-the-art comp uter facilities make it one of the most advanced in the country
The department has established a unique industry link through the Math and Stats Cl inic and offers stushydents access to an advanced computer research laboratory Established in 1980 the clinic conducts reshysearch for industry sponsors develops software presents short courses and offers a consulting service Each of the problems that it tackles for industry beshycomes a teaching tool offering valuable experience to both graduate and undergraduate students
In 1983 the department installed the first undershygraduate microcomputer lab on campus and has conshytinued to upgrade equipment n le departments computer facili ties are probably unrivalled by any similar department in Canada says Smith
Faculty supervise 25 graduate students in MSc and PhD programs in the University-wide biophysics group the Guelph-Waterloo Program in Physics and the new departmental program

EC WILLIAMS OAC 34 1903-1974
OAC welcomed the Welshman
Whether it was his red hair or his Welsh ancestry Edmund C Williams OAC 34 was one of the colleges most determined and colorful students
--
Born in Wales in 1903 Williams came to Canada at m early age and worked as a farm hand before moving to the nited States With a college education ltCj his goal he inshyvested the money he earned as a construcshytion worker a lumberjack and a cowpuncher only to see it evaporate in the financial c rash of 1929
Poorer but no less determined Williams arrived at OAC in September 1929 to enrol in the associate diploma program in agriculture He found a snldent job at 25 cents an hour and talked the head of the chemistry department into Jetshyting him sleep on a cot in the basement
Its reported that Williams existed for a whole academic year on porridge cheese and stale bread liberated from the college dining room
When Williams completed the two-year program in 1931 he immediately enrolled in the intershymediate year and moved his cot to the attic of the dairy building
After graduation he returned to Britain to work at the Nationallnstilute for Research in Dairyshying He later worked for a dairy in North Wales and moved to Singapore in 1938 to become general manager of Cold Storage Creameries Ltd
His determination stood him in good stead during the Jlpanese invasion of Malaya - 1941 to 1945 - when he WlS interred in Changi A happier time followed in 1948 when he met and marshyried his wife Muriel
The couple eventlJally returned [Q the United Kingdom to retire on the Isk of Man In 1971 Williams came to Guelph for a class reunion He toured the campus with classmate Ron Greenwood OAC 34 and purchased two alumni ties ai mementos of his college days at Guelph
Williams died in 1974 leaving a bequest of nearly half a million dollars to provide scholarship awards to OAC students run ed in memory of his mother the Mary Edmunds Williams Fellowships of $4000 each are awarded annually to 12 OAC students in PhD or MSc programs
When MUliei Williams died in January 1989 a further bequest of more than S 1 million was received to provide schOlarships of $5000 a year for PhD students in OAe These awards totalling $135000 annually enhance the competitiveness of OAC departments in attracting top gradate stushydents to Guelph
Ee Williams is remembered fondly by his classmates and college And by the many graduate stushy -dents who have benefited from his determination to succeed

In addition to fighting they someshytimes give Mom a break by engaging in pretend play structured games and conversation
When she began her research on peer relationships Lollis was primarily interested in what mothers say to their children about how to get

along with their peers We wanted to know how kids initially learn rules that we as adults know when interacting with another individual such as Dont use anothers propershyty without permission
They looked specifically at matershynal intervention when children are fighting and found that mothers freshyquently got involved in play-time conflicts and usually directed comshyments to their own child And what they said overwhelmingly supshyported the other child says Lollis
She found that conflicts over obshyjects or toys have different rules and categories Object fights erupted over concepts such as ownership and prior possession Youngsters as young as 20 months understand who owns an object she says A common claim was Its mine
Toddlers also understand the concept of prior possession which means that whoever has an object may play with it until it is given up All parents know the cry had it first An interesting fact about obshyject fights is that children fight even if there is no object or if there are 10 identical objects says Lollis
The study found that mothers generally told their own children to share objects in their possession but to respect prior ownership if it was another child who had the obshyject
Lollis says mothers should not be criticized for this inconsistency beshycause they may be balancing several social agendas at once Over and above teaching their children rules related to ownership and prior posshysession of objects mothers are also teaching concepts ofgenerosity compassion and generally how to be good hosts to others Sometimes the basic rules for entitlement can conflict with consideration for others she says
Lollis and Ross are also involved in a study on sibling interaction and rules of conduct within a family unit supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council

Are you buying strawberry-flavored dinosaurs by Barbara Chance
Ifyouve ever had to wade your way through a grocery aisle full of sugar-coated strawberry-flavored battery-operated cereal in the shape of dinosaurs to find the corn flakes youve been buying since you were old enough to solo with a shopping cart youve probably asked yourself Who needs all this
And the answer is Somebody If enough somebodies somewhere werent buying this cereal it wouldnt be sitting on the shelf says Prof Trevor Watts Department of Consumer Studies
Of course some products dont have much of a life on the shelf They become a fad for a year then slip into oblivion when a new fad comes along Kids cereals in parshyticular have a knack for passing comet-like through your friendly neighborhood grocery store says Watts Its because young people today want so much variety and change
Todays manufacturers need to
know their consumers and markets well says Watts Introducing any new product is a huge financial risk so manufacturers need to know whos going to buy their product and whether or not its going to be around for awhile If its just going to be a fad they need to be able to
plan it as a fad product and profit from it while it lasts
There is a continual effort to inshytroduce products on the market says Watts but a lot of them fail The failure rate of new food products - from original idea to being successful on the shelf - has been estimated as high as 80 per cent The biggest cause of failure is that the product doesnt fulfil a
Guelph Alumnus
need in the consumers eyes Its also a question of timing he
says Sometimes a product can be introduced before consumers are ready to accept it Twenty-five years ago a baby food was put out on test market in a package rather ilian a glass jar After it was opened it had to be refrigerated It fa iled in the test market because people couldn t believe that baby food could be good and safe if it wasnt in a glass jar Three years ago a similar concept of dehydrated baby food that sits on the shelf in a plasshytic container was introduced and apshypears to be successful The failed baby food was just 25 years too soon
Because of the high cost of introshyducing new products many manufacturers today choose simp ly to change or improve the old ones instead Thats why youll read a new and improved label on your favorite pudding or detergent every few years
Peripheral variations involve much less time and expense for reshysearch and development and much less risk for a manufacturer says
Watts But they dont necessarily sucshy
ceed either Sometimes manufacshyturers have to learn the hard way that you cant always improve on a good thing Just ask the corn chip makers who decided a great variashytion on their product would be to color the chips blue

Diploma program celebrates milestone
1976 1983 Q ~
7000 graduates and still counting

Shuttle bound Only a handful of
Canadians will ever have the chance to look at Earth the way Roberta Bondar OAC 68 will
Canadas first female astronaut Bondar will be part of a seven-memshyber Columbia shuttle mission scheduled for launch in mid-199I
When Im not taking my work shift Ill be looking out the window says the 44shyyear-old native of Sault Ste Marie Ont
As a payload specialist Bondar will carry out research acshytivities on behalf of scientists in 13 countries Her main area of interest deals with space sickness and the effect space travel has on the movement of body fluids
A graduate of Guelphs zoology program Bondar received an honorary degree from the Univershysity in June She told fellow graduates that the space program has made her more aware of how unique this planet is We need to use the knowledge gained through space science to raise the consciousshyness of whats happening to our enshyvironment on a global scale
Whats after space for Bondar Getting back to Earth both literally and figuratively she says
Being part of Canadas history is great but there are a lot of other things I want to do in my life I
started out at Guelph 22 years ago in an environmental vein and now Im corning back to it
I t was a Grade 10 science project that brought Bondar to Guelph Inshyfluenced by Rachel Carsons book Silent Spring she wanted to do a project on genetic resistance to DDT in fruit flies
I was probably 10 years too early for that project says Bondar but I was at least a month too late in starting it

Heading into
SPACE to look at Earth
laboratory in Sault Ste Marie conshyvinced her to look instead at an inshyfestation of the tent caterpillar Eventually they gave her a summer job at the lab and introduced her to Guelphs programs in the biological sciences
She later earned an MSc from the niversity of Western Ontario and a PhD from the University of Toronto before enrolling in medical school at McMaster University She was assistant professor of neurology in McMasters faculty of medicine when she heard a radio anshynouncement in July 1983 that Canada was planning to initiate an astronaut program
Acceptance into the astronaut program fulfilled a lifelong dream for Bondar but she acknowledges that few Canadians will be able to achieve the same dream
Canadas space program relies on launching facilities in other
countries so we dont need many astronauts she says Opportunities are much greater in the other wings of the space program
For years Canadian scientists have been acshytive in space science looking at upper atmosshyphere stars and other objects in the universe
We are world exshyperts in certain areas says Bondar We also have a fantastic reputashytion for building great communication satelshylites and for using other satellites for remote sensing (looking down on the Earth)
Canada will put up its own Earth observashytion satellite (Radarshysat) early in this
decade she says It will have radar facility to help us look through ice blocks and to invenshytory our wildlife and our forest stands
Bondar says Canada will also launch a mobile satellite comshymunications system that will help people in the North communicate with each other
Another wing focusing on space technology was responsible for the development of the Canadarm and is now working on robotics for a space station she says
Bondar has been in training for space flight since 1984 Her gruelshyling physical conditioning includes lifting weights to prepare for the extra 90 pounds of safety equipshyment that astronauts are now reshyquired to wear
A new launch escape suit was designed during NASAs safety review after the 1986 Challenger acshycident Bondar says NASA can not eliminate the potential danger of those first 2 12 minutes after liftoff but the new escape system will protect the astronauts if the orbiter is unable to make a runway landing
Despite the dangers Bondar says she feels as much trepidation about renting a car as she does about stepshyping into the shuttle Anytime you
25
have a p iece of enshygineering that you rely on other people for and your life depends on it its nerve- rackshying
To be part of the space program there arc certain dangers you have LO accept she says This is very risky business I11ese are pioneering days
Because of the high profile of the astronaut program a large part of Bondars job involshyves puhlic relations I think we astronauts have a responsibility to be very knowledgeable about the other parts of the space program and to pass on that knowledge to the general public
Always ttJJing to be efficient Roberta Bondar centre refused to study during her undergraduate _years at Guelph hecause going OVet-the same material taken in didnt make sense I had othet things 10 do But when a severe case ofmurnps kept her out Of classor several weeks she w(lSforred to learn how to study from textbooks ~iomethillg good comes outoevery negative exshyperience she says And that includes long-standing friendships with Elizabeth Waywell OAC MSc 70 left and retired professor Susan Corey right CO~I was my zoology professor and Way well was a graduate student in zoology who took me to her Gordon Stteel bome to recuperate says Bondar They rea~)I saved my year
communications has stood her in good stead she says Even as a student I had a real commitment that scienshytists should be able to communicate their ideas better
She encourages people - especially young people - to write for information posters photographs and lapel pins to the public relations branch of the Canadian Space Agency National Reshysearch Council of Canada Building M60 Montreal Road Ottawa KIA OR6
Space is uppermost in the minds of our young people because they can see it in their fu ture Bondar says

Wildlife pathologist Ian Barker OVC 68 and MSc 70 has relieved public concern about insect-transmitted disease of potential danger to both dogs and humans
In Canada Lyme disease hysteria is far more comshymon than Lyme disease itself says Barker Canadians and their pets appear to be at very low risk of contractshying the disease he says
In an Ontario study the tick that carries the disease Ixodes dammini was found in nature at only one locashytion - Long Point on Lake Erie There is a greater risk in the coastal northeastern United States from Masshysachusetts to Delaware Minnesota Wisconsin and parts of the Pacific northwest
Lyme disease is readily treatable by antibiotics if diagshynosed early but its difficult to diagnose because it mimics other conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Bells Palsy People most prone to the disease are outdoor workers and outdoor enthusiasts
In the United States the disease has also been implishycated in arthritis and myocarditis in dogs arthritis and abortion in cattle and ophthalmic disease encephalitis and arthritis in horses
Researchers still have a lot to learn about the diagshy
~--nosis of the disease and the transmission biology of the tick says Barker The only distinctive clinical sign is a bulls-eye rash around the tick bite but only 50 to 60 per cent of infected persons develop the rash Blood tests may also be inconclusive
He is currently working on a study for Health and Welfare Canada to determine ways of preventing the disease in Canada and to gain a better understanding of the ticks biology Insect repellents long pants and shirts are the best preventive measures he says
28
S uper Match 90 sponsorship of the OVC Pet Tmst Fund is one way of showing the public that the college is serious about canine disease Passing on the knowledge gained through research is another
Over the summer pathology professor Owen Slocombe OVC 61 a specialist in parasitology has been interviewed several times about his research into heartworm - a debilitating mosquito-borne disease afshyfecting dogs
Although the disease is slowly moving northward from the United States most dogs in Canada are not at serious risk says Slocombe Heartworm is considered endemic around the cities of Montreal and Winnipeg and in lower southern Ontario along Lake Erie the Niagara region and Lake Ontario and north of Toronto around the Lake Simcoe Peterborough and Midland areas
Slocombes research at OVC is the first in the world to define the diseases transmission period He found the rate of worm development is linearly related to temperature ranging from 29 days at 18 C to only nine days at 30 C In Ontario for example the transmission period is June 1 to Oct 8
The worm initially develops in the skin and muscle and gradually moves into blood vessels asshysociated with the heart and lungs causing weakshyness and impaired breathing It can also cause
liver and kidney damage The condition is treatable but the treatment is both expensive and severe
Slocombe has monitored the disease annually since 1976 and says the prevalence in Canada has decreased because ofpreventive efforts by veterinarians One Onshytario survey found heartworm in 16 per cent of dogs not taking preventive medicine compared with one per cent in dogs that were

Cedars hold on to secret of long-life Two years ago
botany professor Doug Larson was hanging over the cliff edge of the Niagara escarpment near Milshyton Ont to study lichens when he grabbed on to a secret that has surprised even the scientific community
He discovered that the gnaded halfshydead cedars growing on the cliffs are Ontarios oldest trees - some of them more than 700 years old
Larson and his colshyleagues were more than a little bit excited about the disshycovel) and the possibilities it offered for studies of past climates Not to mention the chance to find out how eastern white cedars - normally found in wet swampy areas - could survive for centuries without soil and in the extreme climatic conditions of the cliff face
The trees are still holding on to their secrets says Larson He was struck originally by their ability to grow slowly - some growth rings are only one or two cells wide Now he is equally amazed by the variability found in the ancient forest
Two 400-year-old trees growing only a few metres apart can vary in diameter from two-thirds of a metre to a few centimetres The first may have the normal 12 growth rings for every 25 centimetres ofwood whereas growth rings in the second may be only one or two cells in width
Shown as exact size tvis section of an ancient cedar shows more than 300 growth rings
Clinging to life on the edge of the Niagara escmpment the botshytom halfof tvis 625-year-old white cedar is dead but life conshytinues as the tree stretches upward
16
Its very difficult to make predictions about climatic conditions in the year 1590 when you only have two cells to look at says Larson
The dwarfed cedar is more interesting he says but the larger brother may provide more information Both are growing from cracks in the limestone cliff face They are nourished by water percolating through the porous limestone but how they got there is still just a theory he says
The perseverance of this ancient forest has generated a level of public interest that Larson hopes to harness Compared with other coniferous forests the trees are small and deformed and have little economic value This is the species used for rail fences and shingles not pulp and paper he says That means researchers can study them to explain the basic functiOning of forest ecosysshytems without stepping on anyones toes
The scientific community needs to do a better job of educating people about the dynamics of a forest says Larson The ancient cedars contradict the common pershyception that old trees are large
If we discover that the growth and survival of this species requires a degree of interaction in the ecosysshytem that we dont provide then it may change the way we grow and harvest conifers in other places he says
Forest undergrowth survives harvesting
Harvesting trees doesnt seem to have any short-term adverse effects on the shrubs and undergrowth in southshycentral Ontario forests says botany professor Richard Reader But he cautions there isnt enough data to make predictions for the long-term impact on either the richshyness or the variety of the plant species making up the forest undergrowth
Reader has been monitoring Carolinian deciduous forests on the north shore of Lake Erie for the last five years His study supported by Ontarios Ministry of Natural Resources was intended to determine the imshypact selective cutting in these forests - that is current harvesting practices - would have on the undergrowth
This layer of vegetation is important because it conshytains some species ofplants that are only found on the shores of Lake Erie After conducting a pre-harvest assessshyment Reader selectively cut the largest most economishycally important trees remOving up to two-thirds of the trees in the forest This represents the extremes - from minimal operation to intensive cutting The ministry was interested in minimizing the impact that cutting would have on the understory growth says Reader
As it turns out there was no short-term impact he says The shrub layer and herbaceous species regenerated rapidly both in their density and in the -types of species that grew back
These preliminary findings should not be interpreted as a licence to cut up to two-thirds of available trees in forests he says The long-term implications of intensive cutting need a longer observation period

Supercomputing comes to campus
The University has entered a new league of reshysearch computing with its acquisition of a millionshydollar project supercomputer system from Silicon Graphics Canada Inc to establish a numerically intenshysive computing (NIC) faCility on campus
The faCility will allow Guelph scientists and stushydents to do large-scale research computations It will include two project supercomputers the IRIS POWER Series 4D 340S and 4D 380S Together the machines have 192 megabytes of core memory and 34 gigabytes of disk storage capacity
Many disciplines and research projects will benefit from the computing power available in the NIC faCility For example chemistry and biochemistry researchers are calculating from first principles the electronic properties of atoms and molecules Physicists are studying the molecular structure of the surface of water A project in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics involves studying surface catalysis of chemical reactions Animal and poultry scientists are doing genetic parameter estimations in livestock and landscape arshychitects are doing photorealistic rendering in their work
Under an agreement with Silicon Graphics the University received substantial discounts on equipshyment and maintenance In return the University will serve as a testing ground for Silicon equipment inshycluding a high-performance GTX graphics subsystem that will be evaluated and demonstrated at a 1991 computing conference on campus
New PhD program approved
This spring the University received final approval for a new PhD program in applied mathematics and apshyplied statistics The program offers a unique combinashytion of emphases says Prof Bill Smith Department of Mathematics and Statistics ll1cse include specializashytions in mathematical biology dynamical systems numerical analysis and optimization linear and nonshylinear models survival analysis life testing and bioassay
The program reflects current interest in the major scientific diScipl ines and recognizes the levels of scholarship and research within the department says Smith These specialties along with the uepartments state-of-the-art comp uter facilities make it one of the most advanced in the country
The department has established a unique industry link through the Math and Stats Cl inic and offers stushydents access to an advanced computer research laboratory Established in 1980 the clinic conducts reshysearch for industry sponsors develops software presents short courses and offers a consulting service Each of the problems that it tackles for industry beshycomes a teaching tool offering valuable experience to both graduate and undergraduate students
In 1983 the department installed the first undershygraduate microcomputer lab on campus and has conshytinued to upgrade equipment n le departments computer facili ties are probably unrivalled by any similar department in Canada says Smith
Faculty supervise 25 graduate students in MSc and PhD programs in the University-wide biophysics group the Guelph-Waterloo Program in Physics and the new departmental program

EC WILLIAMS OAC 34 1903-1974
OAC welcomed the Welshman
Whether it was his red hair or his Welsh ancestry Edmund C Williams OAC 34 was one of the colleges most determined and colorful students
--
Born in Wales in 1903 Williams came to Canada at m early age and worked as a farm hand before moving to the nited States With a college education ltCj his goal he inshyvested the money he earned as a construcshytion worker a lumberjack and a cowpuncher only to see it evaporate in the financial c rash of 1929
Poorer but no less determined Williams arrived at OAC in September 1929 to enrol in the associate diploma program in agriculture He found a snldent job at 25 cents an hour and talked the head of the chemistry department into Jetshyting him sleep on a cot in the basement
Its reported that Williams existed for a whole academic year on porridge cheese and stale bread liberated from the college dining room
When Williams completed the two-year program in 1931 he immediately enrolled in the intershymediate year and moved his cot to the attic of the dairy building
After graduation he returned to Britain to work at the Nationallnstilute for Research in Dairyshying He later worked for a dairy in North Wales and moved to Singapore in 1938 to become general manager of Cold Storage Creameries Ltd
His determination stood him in good stead during the Jlpanese invasion of Malaya - 1941 to 1945 - when he WlS interred in Changi A happier time followed in 1948 when he met and marshyried his wife Muriel
The couple eventlJally returned [Q the United Kingdom to retire on the Isk of Man In 1971 Williams came to Guelph for a class reunion He toured the campus with classmate Ron Greenwood OAC 34 and purchased two alumni ties ai mementos of his college days at Guelph
Williams died in 1974 leaving a bequest of nearly half a million dollars to provide scholarship awards to OAC students run ed in memory of his mother the Mary Edmunds Williams Fellowships of $4000 each are awarded annually to 12 OAC students in PhD or MSc programs
When MUliei Williams died in January 1989 a further bequest of more than S 1 million was received to provide schOlarships of $5000 a year for PhD students in OAe These awards totalling $135000 annually enhance the competitiveness of OAC departments in attracting top gradate stushydents to Guelph
Ee Williams is remembered fondly by his classmates and college And by the many graduate stushy -dents who have benefited from his determination to succeed

In addition to fighting they someshytimes give Mom a break by engaging in pretend play structured games and conversation
When she began her research on peer relationships Lollis was primarily interested in what mothers say to their children about how to get

along with their peers We wanted to know how kids initially learn rules that we as adults know when interacting with another individual such as Dont use anothers propershyty without permission
They looked specifically at matershynal intervention when children are fighting and found that mothers freshyquently got involved in play-time conflicts and usually directed comshyments to their own child And what they said overwhelmingly supshyported the other child says Lollis
She found that conflicts over obshyjects or toys have different rules and categories Object fights erupted over concepts such as ownership and prior possession Youngsters as young as 20 months understand who owns an object she says A common claim was Its mine
Toddlers also understand the concept of prior possession which means that whoever has an object may play with it until it is given up All parents know the cry had it first An interesting fact about obshyject fights is that children fight even if there is no object or if there are 10 identical objects says Lollis
The study found that mothers generally told their own children to share objects in their possession but to respect prior ownership if it was another child who had the obshyject
Lollis says mothers should not be criticized for this inconsistency beshycause they may be balancing several social agendas at once Over and above teaching their children rules related to ownership and prior posshysession of objects mothers are also teaching concepts ofgenerosity compassion and generally how to be good hosts to others Sometimes the basic rules for entitlement can conflict with consideration for others she says
Lollis and Ross are also involved in a study on sibling interaction and rules of conduct within a family unit supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council

Are you buying strawberry-flavored dinosaurs by Barbara Chance
Ifyouve ever had to wade your way through a grocery aisle full of sugar-coated strawberry-flavored battery-operated cereal in the shape of dinosaurs to find the corn flakes youve been buying since you were old enough to solo with a shopping cart youve probably asked yourself Who needs all this
And the answer is Somebody If enough somebodies somewhere werent buying this cereal it wouldnt be sitting on the shelf says Prof Trevor Watts Department of Consumer Studies
Of course some products dont have much of a life on the shelf They become a fad for a year then slip into oblivion when a new fad comes along Kids cereals in parshyticular have a knack for passing comet-like through your friendly neighborhood grocery store says Watts Its because young people today want so much variety and change
Todays manufacturers need to
know their consumers and markets well says Watts Introducing any new product is a huge financial risk so manufacturers need to know whos going to buy their product and whether or not its going to be around for awhile If its just going to be a fad they need to be able to
plan it as a fad product and profit from it while it lasts
There is a continual effort to inshytroduce products on the market says Watts but a lot of them fail The failure rate of new food products - from original idea to being successful on the shelf - has been estimated as high as 80 per cent The biggest cause of failure is that the product doesnt fulfil a
Guelph Alumnus
need in the consumers eyes Its also a question of timing he
says Sometimes a product can be introduced before consumers are ready to accept it Twenty-five years ago a baby food was put out on test market in a package rather ilian a glass jar After it was opened it had to be refrigerated It fa iled in the test market because people couldn t believe that baby food could be good and safe if it wasnt in a glass jar Three years ago a similar concept of dehydrated baby food that sits on the shelf in a plasshytic container was introduced and apshypears to be successful The failed baby food was just 25 years too soon
Because of the high cost of introshyducing new products many manufacturers today choose simp ly to change or improve the old ones instead Thats why youll read a new and improved label on your favorite pudding or detergent every few years
Peripheral variations involve much less time and expense for reshysearch and development and much less risk for a manufacturer says
Watts But they dont necessarily sucshy
ceed either Sometimes manufacshyturers have to learn the hard way that you cant always improve on a good thing Just ask the corn chip makers who decided a great variashytion on their product would be to color the chips blue

Shuttle bound Only a handful of
Canadians will ever have the chance to look at Earth the way Roberta Bondar OAC 68 will
Canadas first female astronaut Bondar will be part of a seven-memshyber Columbia shuttle mission scheduled for launch in mid-199I
When Im not taking my work shift Ill be looking out the window says the 44shyyear-old native of Sault Ste Marie Ont
As a payload specialist Bondar will carry out research acshytivities on behalf of scientists in 13 countries Her main area of interest deals with space sickness and the effect space travel has on the movement of body fluids
A graduate of Guelphs zoology program Bondar received an honorary degree from the Univershysity in June She told fellow graduates that the space program has made her more aware of how unique this planet is We need to use the knowledge gained through space science to raise the consciousshyness of whats happening to our enshyvironment on a global scale
Whats after space for Bondar Getting back to Earth both literally and figuratively she says
Being part of Canadas history is great but there are a lot of other things I want to do in my life I
started out at Guelph 22 years ago in an environmental vein and now Im corning back to it
I t was a Grade 10 science project that brought Bondar to Guelph Inshyfluenced by Rachel Carsons book Silent Spring she wanted to do a project on genetic resistance to DDT in fruit flies
I was probably 10 years too early for that project says Bondar but I was at least a month too late in starting it

Computer simulation by Doug Masters
Heading into
SPACE to look at Earth
laboratory in Sault Ste Marie conshyvinced her to look instead at an inshyfestation of the tent caterpillar Eventually they gave her a summer job at the lab and introduced her to Guelphs programs in the biological sciences
She later earned an MSc from the niversity of Western Ontario and a PhD from the University of Toronto before enrolling in medical school at McMaster University She was assistant professor of neurology in McMasters faculty of medicine when she heard a radio anshynouncement in July 1983 that Canada was planning to initiate an astronaut program
Acceptance into the astronaut program fulfilled a lifelong dream for Bondar but she acknowledges that few Canadians will be able to achieve the same dream
Canadas space program relies on launching facilities in other
countries so we dont need many astronauts she says Opportunities are much greater in the other wings of the space program
For years Canadian scientists have been acshytive in space science looking at upper atmosshyphere stars and other objects in the universe
We are world exshyperts in certain areas says Bondar We also have a fantastic reputashytion for building great communication satelshylites and for using other satellites for remote sensing (looking down on the Earth)
Canada will put up its own Earth observashytion satellite (Radarshysat) early in this
decade she says It will have radar facility to help us look through ice blocks and to invenshytory our wildlife and our forest stands
Bondar says Canada will also launch a mobile satellite comshymunications system that will help people in the North communicate with each other
Another wing focusing on space technology was responsible for the development of the Canadarm and is now working on robotics for a space station she says
Bondar has been in training for space flight since 1984 Her gruelshyling physical conditioning includes lifting weights to prepare for the extra 90 pounds of safety equipshyment that astronauts are now reshyquired to wear
A new launch escape suit was designed during NASAs safety review after the 1986 Challenger acshycident Bondar says NASA can not eliminate the potential danger of those first 2 12 minutes after liftoff but the new escape system will protect the astronauts if the orbiter is unable to make a runway landing
Despite the dangers Bondar says she feels as much trepidation about renting a car as she does about stepshyping into the shuttle Anytime you
25
have a p iece of enshygineering that you rely on other people for and your life depends on it its nerve- rackshying
To be part of the space program there arc certain dangers you have LO accept she says This is very risky business I11ese are pioneering days
Because of the high profile of the astronaut program a large part of Bondars job involshyves puhlic relations I think we astronauts have a responsibility to be very knowledgeable about the other parts of the space program and to pass on that knowledge to the general public
Always ttJJing to be efficient Roberta Bondar centre refused to study during her undergraduate _years at Guelph hecause going OVet-the same material taken in didnt make sense I had othet things 10 do But when a severe case ofmurnps kept her out Of classor several weeks she w(lSforred to learn how to study from textbooks ~iomethillg good comes outoevery negative exshyperience she says And that includes long-standing friendships with Elizabeth Waywell OAC MSc 70 left and retired professor Susan Corey right CO~I was my zoology professor and Way well was a graduate student in zoology who took me to her Gordon Stteel bome to recuperate says Bondar They rea~)I saved my year
communications has stood her in good stead she says Even as a student I had a real commitment that scienshytists should be able to communicate their ideas better
She encourages people - especially young people - to write for information posters photographs and lapel pins to the public relations branch of the Canadian Space Agency National Reshysearch Council of Canada Building M60 Montreal Road Ottawa KIA OR6
Space is uppermost in the minds of our young people because they can see it in their fu ture Bondar says

Wildlife pathologist Ian Barker OVC 68 and MSc 70 has relieved public concern about insect-transmitted disease of potential danger to both dogs and humans
In Canada Lyme disease hysteria is far more comshymon than Lyme disease itself says Barker Canadians and their pets appear to be at very low risk of contractshying the disease he says
In an Ontario study the tick that carries the disease Ixodes dammini was found in nature at only one locashytion - Long Point on Lake Erie There is a greater risk in the coastal northeastern United States from Masshysachusetts to Delaware Minnesota Wisconsin and parts of the Pacific northwest
Lyme disease is readily treatable by antibiotics if diagshynosed early but its difficult to diagnose because it mimics other conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Bells Palsy People most prone to the disease are outdoor workers and outdoor enthusiasts
In the United States the disease has also been implishycated in arthritis and myocarditis in dogs arthritis and abortion in cattle and ophthalmic disease encephalitis and arthritis in horses
Researchers still have a lot to learn about the diagshy
~--nosis of the disease and the transmission biology of the tick says Barker The only distinctive clinical sign is a bulls-eye rash around the tick bite but only 50 to 60 per cent of infected persons develop the rash Blood tests may also be inconclusive
He is currently working on a study for Health and Welfare Canada to determine ways of preventing the disease in Canada and to gain a better understanding of the ticks biology Insect repellents long pants and shirts are the best preventive measures he says
28
S uper Match 90 sponsorship of the OVC Pet Tmst Fund is one way of showing the public that the college is serious about canine disease Passing on the knowledge gained through research is another
Over the summer pathology professor Owen Slocombe OVC 61 a specialist in parasitology has been interviewed several times about his research into heartworm - a debilitating mosquito-borne disease afshyfecting dogs
Although the disease is slowly moving northward from the United States most dogs in Canada are not at serious risk says Slocombe Heartworm is considered endemic around the cities of Montreal and Winnipeg and in lower southern Ontario along Lake Erie the Niagara region and Lake Ontario and north of Toronto around the Lake Simcoe Peterborough and Midland areas
Slocombes research at OVC is the first in the world to define the diseases transmission period He found the rate of worm development is linearly related to temperature ranging from 29 days at 18 C to only nine days at 30 C In Ontario for example the transmission period is June 1 to Oct 8
The worm initially develops in the skin and muscle and gradually moves into blood vessels asshysociated with the heart and lungs causing weakshyness and impaired breathing It can also cause
liver and kidney damage The condition is treatable but the treatment is both expensive and severe
Slocombe has monitored the disease annually since 1976 and says the prevalence in Canada has decreased because ofpreventive efforts by veterinarians One Onshytario survey found heartworm in 16 per cent of dogs not taking preventive medicine compared with one per cent in dogs that were

Supercomputing comes to campus
The University has entered a new league of reshysearch computing with its acquisition of a millionshydollar project supercomputer system from Silicon Graphics Canada Inc to establish a numerically intenshysive computing (NIC) faCility on campus
The faCility will allow Guelph scientists and stushydents to do large-scale research computations It will include two project supercomputers the IRIS POWER Series 4D 340S and 4D 380S Together the machines have 192 megabytes of core memory and 34 gigabytes of disk storage capacity
Many disciplines and research projects will benefit from the computing power available in the NIC faCility For example chemistry and biochemistry researchers are calculating from first principles the electronic properties of atoms and molecules Physicists are studying the molecular structure of the surface of water A project in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics involves studying surface catalysis of chemical reactions Animal and poultry scientists are doing genetic parameter estimations in livestock and landscape arshychitects are doing photorealistic rendering in their work
Under an agreement with Silicon Graphics the University received substantial discounts on equipshyment and maintenance In return the University will serve as a testing ground for Silicon equipment inshycluding a high-performance GTX graphics subsystem that will be evaluated and demonstrated at a 1991 computing conference on campus
New PhD program approved
This spring the University received final approval for a new PhD program in applied mathematics and apshyplied statistics The program offers a unique combinashytion of emphases says Prof Bill Smith Department of Mathematics and Statistics ll1cse include specializashytions in mathematical biology dynamical systems numerical analysis and optimization linear and nonshylinear models survival analysis life testing and bioassay
The program reflects current interest in the major scientific diScipl ines and recognizes the levels of scholarship and research within the department says Smith These specialties along with the uepartments state-of-the-art comp uter facilities make it one of the most advanced in the country
The department has established a unique industry link through the Math and Stats Cl inic and offers stushydents access to an advanced computer research laboratory Established in 1980 the clinic conducts reshysearch for industry sponsors develops software presents short courses and offers a consulting service Each of the problems that it tackles for industry beshycomes a teaching tool offering valuable experience to both graduate and undergraduate students
In 1983 the department installed the first undershygraduate microcomputer lab on campus and has conshytinued to upgrade equipment n le departments computer facili ties are probably unrivalled by any similar department in Canada says Smith
Faculty supervise 25 graduate students in MSc and PhD programs in the University-wide biophysics group the Guelph-Waterloo Program in Physics and the new departmental program

Whether it was his red hair or his Welsh ancestry Edmund C Williams OAC 34 was one of the colleges most determined and colorful students
--
Born in Wales in 1903 Williams came to Canada at m early age and worked as a farm hand before moving to the nited States With a college education ltCj his goal he inshyvested the money he earned as a construcshytion worker a lumberjack and a cowpuncher only to see it evaporate in the financial c rash of 1929
Poorer but no less determined Williams arrived at OAC in September 1929 to enrol in the associate diploma program in agriculture He found a snldent job at 25 cents an hour and talked the head of the chemistry department into Jetshyting him sleep on a cot in the basement
Its reported that Williams existed for a whole academic year on porridge cheese and stale bread liberated from the college dining room
When Williams completed the two-year program in 1931 he immediately enrolled in the intershymediate year and moved his cot to the attic of the dairy building
After graduation he returned to Britain to work at the Nationallnstilute for Research in Dairyshying He later worked for a dairy in North Wales and moved to Singapore in 1938 to become general manager of Cold Storage Creameries Ltd
His determination stood him in good stead during the Jlpanese invasion of Malaya - 1941 to 1945 - when he WlS interred in Changi A happier time followed in 1948 when he met and marshyried his wife Muriel
The couple eventlJally returned [Q the United Kingdom to retire on the Isk of Man In 1971 Williams came to Guelph for a class reunion He toured the campus with classmate Ron Greenwood OAC 34 and purchased two alumni ties ai mementos of his college days at Guelph
Williams died in 1974 leaving a bequest of nearly half a million dollars to provide scholarship awards to OAC students run ed in memory of his mother the Mary Edmunds Williams Fellowships of $4000 each are awarded annually to 12 OAC students in PhD or MSc programs
When MUliei Williams died in January 1989 a further bequest of more than S 1 million was received to provide schOlarships of $5000 a year for PhD students in OAe These awards totalling $135000 annually enhance the competitiveness of OAC departments in attracting top gradate stushydents to Guelph
Ee Williams is remembered fondly by his classmates and college And by the many graduate stushy -dents who have benefited from his determination to succeed

In addition to fighting they someshytimes give Mom a break by engaging in pretend play structured games and conversation
When she began her research on peer relationships Lollis was primarily interested in what mothers say to their children about how to get

along with their peers We wanted to know how kids initially learn rules that we as adults know when interacting with another individual such as Dont use anothers propershyty without permission
They looked specifically at matershynal intervention when children are fighting and found that mothers freshyquently got involved in play-time conflicts and usually directed comshyments to their own child And what they said overwhelmingly supshyported the other child says Lollis
She found that conflicts over obshyjects or toys have different rules and categories Object fights erupted over concepts such as ownership and prior possession Youngsters as young as 20 months understand who owns an object she says A common claim was Its mine
Toddlers also understand the concept of prior possession which means that whoever has an object may play with it until it is given up All parents know the cry had it first An interesting fact about obshyject fights is that children fight even if there is no object or if there are 10 identical objects says Lollis
The study found that mothers generally told their own children to share objects in their possession but to respect prior ownership if it was another child who had the obshyject
Lollis says mothers should not be criticized for this inconsistency beshycause they may be balancing several social agendas at once Over and above teaching their children rules related to ownership and prior posshysession of objects mothers are also teaching concepts ofgenerosity compassion and generally how to be good hosts to others Sometimes the basic rules for entitlement can conflict with consideration for others she says
Lollis and Ross are also involved in a study on sibling interaction and rules of conduct within a family unit supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council

Are you buying strawberry-flavored dinosaurs by Barbara Chance
Ifyouve ever had to wade your way through a grocery aisle full of sugar-coated strawberry-flavored battery-operated cereal in the shape of dinosaurs to find the corn flakes youve been buying since you were old enough to solo with a shopping cart youve probably asked yourself Who needs all this
And the answer is Somebody If enough somebodies somewhere werent buying this cereal it wouldnt be sitting on the shelf says Prof Trevor Watts Department of Consumer Studies
Of course some products dont have much of a life on the shelf They become a fad for a year then slip into oblivion when a new fad comes along Kids cereals in parshyticular have a knack for passing comet-like through your friendly neighborhood grocery store says Watts Its because young people today want so much variety and change
Todays manufacturers need to
know their consumers and markets well says Watts Introducing any new product is a huge financial risk so manufacturers need to know whos going to buy their product and whether or not its going to be around for awhile If its just going to be a fad they need to be able to
plan it as a fad product and profit from it while it lasts
There is a continual effort to inshytroduce products on the market says Watts but a lot of them fail The failure rate of new food products - from original idea to being successful on the shelf - has been estimated as high as 80 per cent The biggest cause of failure is that the product doesnt fulfil a
Guelph Alumnus
need in the consumers eyes Its also a question of timing he
says Sometimes a product can be introduced before consumers are ready to accept it Twenty-five years ago a baby food was put out on test market in a package rather ilian a glass jar After it was opened it had to be refrigerated It fa iled in the test market because people couldn t believe that baby food could be good and safe if it wasnt in a glass jar Three years ago a similar concept of dehydrated baby food that sits on the shelf in a plasshytic container was introduced and apshypears to be successful The failed baby food was just 25 years too soon
Because of the high cost of introshyducing new products many manufacturers today choose simp ly to change or improve the old ones instead Thats why youll read a new and improved label on your favorite pudding or detergent every few years
Peripheral variations involve much less time and expense for reshysearch and development and much less risk for a manufacturer says
Watts But they dont necessarily sucshy
ceed either Sometimes manufacshyturers have to learn the hard way that you cant always improve on a good thing Just ask the corn chip makers who decided a great variashytion on their product would be to color the chips blue

Shuttle bound Only a handful of
Canadians will ever have the chance to look at Earth the way Roberta Bondar OAC 68 will
Canadas first female astronaut Bondar will be part of a seven-memshyber Columbia shuttle mission scheduled for launch in mid-199I
When Im not taking my work shift Ill be looking out the window says the 44shyyear-old native of Sault Ste Marie Ont
As a payload specialist Bondar will carry out research acshytivities on behalf of scientists in 13 countries Her main area of interest deals with space sickness and the effect space travel has on the movement of body fluids
A graduate of Guelphs zoology program Bondar received an honorary degree from the Univershysity in June She told fellow graduates that the space program has made her more aware of how unique this planet is We need to use the knowledge gained through space science to raise the consciousshyness of whats happening to our enshyvironment on a global scale
Whats after space for Bondar Getting back to Earth both literally and figuratively she says
Being part of Canadas history is great but there are a lot of other things I want to do in my life I
started out at Guelph 22 years ago in an environmental vein and now Im corning back to it
I t was a Grade 10 science project that brought Bondar to Guelph Inshyfluenced by Rachel Carsons book Silent Spring she wanted to do a project on genetic resistance to DDT in fruit flies
I was probably 10 years too early for that project says Bondar but I was at least a month too late in starting it

Computer simulation by Doug Masters
Heading into
SPACE to look at Earth
laboratory in Sault Ste Marie conshyvinced her to look instead at an inshyfestation of the tent caterpillar Eventually they gave her a summer job at the lab and introduced her to Guelphs programs in the biological sciences
She later earned an MSc from the niversity of Western Ontario and a PhD from the University of Toronto before enrolling in medical school at McMaster University She was assistant professor of neurology in McMasters faculty of medicine when she heard a radio anshynouncement in July 1983 that Canada was planning to initiate an astronaut program
Acceptance into the astronaut program fulfilled a lifelong dream for Bondar but she acknowledges that few Canadians will be able to achieve the same dream
Canadas space program relies on launching facilities in other
countries so we dont need many astronauts she says Opportunities are much greater in the other wings of the space program
For years Canadian scientists have been acshytive in space science looking at upper atmosshyphere stars and other objects in the universe
We are world exshyperts in certain areas says Bondar We also have a fantastic reputashytion for building great communication satelshylites and for using other satellites for remote sensing (looking down on the Earth)
Canada will put up its own Earth observashytion satellite (Radarshysat) early in this
decade she says It will have radar facility to help us look through ice blocks and to invenshytory our wildlife and our forest stands
Bondar says Canada will also launch a mobile satellite comshymunications system that will help people in the North communicate with each other
Another wing focusing on space technology was responsible for the development of the Canadarm and is now working on robotics for a space station she says
Bondar has been in training for space flight since 1984 Her gruelshyling physical conditioning includes lifting weights to prepare for the extra 90 pounds of safety equipshyment that astronauts are now reshyquired to wear
A new launch escape suit was designed during NASAs safety review after the 1986 Challenger acshycident Bondar says NASA can not eliminate the potential danger of those first 2 12 minutes after liftoff but the new escape system will protect the astronauts if the orbiter is unable to make a runway landing
Despite the dangers Bondar says she feels as much trepidation about renting a car as she does about stepshyping into the shuttle Anytime you
25
have a p iece of enshygineering that you rely on other people for and your life depends on it its nerve- rackshying
To be part of the space program there arc certain dangers you have LO accept she says This is very risky business I11ese are pioneering days
Because of the high profile of the astronaut program a large part of Bondars job involshyves puhlic relations I think we astronauts have a responsibility to be very knowledgeable about the other parts of the space program and to pass on that knowledge to the general public
Always ttJJing to be efficient Roberta Bondar centre refused to study during her undergraduate _years at Guelph hecause going OVet-the same material taken in didnt make sense I had othet things 10 do But when a severe case ofmurnps kept her out Of classor several weeks she w(lSforred to learn how to study from textbooks ~iomethillg good comes outoevery negative exshyperience she says And that includes long-standing friendships with Elizabeth Waywell OAC MSc 70 left and retired professor Susan Corey right CO~I was my zoology professor and Way well was a graduate student in zoology who took me to her Gordon Stteel bome to recuperate says Bondar They rea~)I saved my year
communications has stood her in good stead she says Even as a student I had a real commitment that scienshytists should be able to communicate their ideas better
She encourages people - especially young people - to write for information posters photographs and lapel pins to the public relations branch of the Canadian Space Agency National Reshysearch Council of Canada Building M60 Montreal Road Ottawa KIA OR6
Space is uppermost in the minds of our young people because they can see it in their fu ture Bondar says

Wildlife pathologist Ian Barker OVC 68 and MSc 70 has relieved public concern about insect-transmitted disease of potential danger to both dogs and humans
In Canada Lyme disease hysteria is far more comshymon than Lyme disease itself says Barker Canadians and their pets appear to be at very low risk of contractshying the disease he says
In an Ontario study the tick that carries the disease Ixodes dammini was found in nature at only one locashytion - Long Point on Lake Erie There is a greater risk in the coastal northeastern United States from Masshysachusetts to Delaware Minnesota Wisconsin and parts of the Pacific northwest
Lyme disease is readily treatable by antibiotics if diagshynosed early but its difficult to diagnose because it mimics other conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Bells Palsy People most prone to the disease are outdoor workers and outdoor enthusiasts
In the United States the disease has also been implishycated in arthritis and myocarditis in dogs arthritis and abortion in cattle and ophthalmic disease encephalitis and arthritis in horses
Researchers still have a lot to learn about the diagshy
~--nosis of the disease and the transmission biology of the tick says Barker The only distinctive clinical sign is a bulls-eye rash around the tick bite but only 50 to 60 per cent of infected persons develop the rash Blood tests may also be inconclusive
He is currently working on a study for Health and Welfare Canada to determine ways of preventing the disease in Canada and to gain a better understanding of the ticks biology Insect repellents long pants and shirts are the best preventive measures he says
28
S uper Match 90 sponsorship of the OVC Pet Tmst Fund is one way of showing the public that the college is serious about canine disease Passing on the knowledge gained through research is another
Over the summer pathology professor Owen Slocombe OVC 61 a specialist in parasitology has been interviewed several times about his research into heartworm - a debilitating mosquito-borne disease afshyfecting dogs
Although the disease is slowly moving northward from the United States most dogs in Canada are not at serious risk says Slocombe Heartworm is considered endemic around the cities of Montreal and Winnipeg and in lower southern Ontario along Lake Erie the Niagara region and Lake Ontario and north of Toronto around the Lake Simcoe Peterborough and Midland areas
Slocombes research at OVC is the first in the world to define the diseases transmission period He found the rate of worm development is linearly related to temperature ranging from 29 days at 18 C to only nine days at 30 C In Ontario for example the transmission period is June 1 to Oct 8
The worm initially develops in the skin and muscle and gradually moves into blood vessels asshysociated with the heart and lungs causing weakshyness and impaired breathing It can also cause
liver and kidney damage The condition is treatable but the treatment is both expensive and severe
Slocombe has monitored the disease annually since 1976 and says the prevalence in Canada has decreased because ofpreventive efforts by veterinarians One Onshytario survey found heartworm in 16 per cent of dogs not taking preventive medicine compared with one per cent in dogs that were

EC WILLIAMS OAC 34 1903-1974
OAC welcomed the Welshman
Whether it was his red hair or his Welsh ancestry Edmund C Williams OAC 34 was one of the colleges most determined and colorful students
--
Born in Wales in 1903 Williams came to Canada at m early age and worked as a farm hand before moving to the nited States With a college education ltCj his goal he inshyvested the money he earned as a construcshytion worker a lumberjack and a cowpuncher only to see it evaporate in the financial c rash of 1929
Poorer but no less determined Williams arrived at OAC in September 1929 to enrol in the associate diploma program in agriculture He found a snldent job at 25 cents an hour and talked the head of the chemistry department into Jetshyting him sleep on a cot in the basement
Its reported that Williams existed for a whole academic year on porridge cheese and stale bread liberated from the college dining room
When Williams completed the two-year program in 1931 he immediately enrolled in the intershymediate year and moved his cot to the attic of the dairy building
After graduation he returned to Britain to work at the Nationallnstilute for Research in Dairyshying He later worked for a dairy in North Wales and moved to Singapore in 1938 to become general manager of Cold Storage Creameries Ltd
His determination stood him in good stead during the Jlpanese invasion of Malaya - 1941 to 1945 - when he WlS interred in Changi A happier time followed in 1948 when he met and marshyried his wife Muriel
The couple eventlJally returned [Q the United Kingdom to retire on the Isk of Man In 1971 Williams came to Guelph for a class reunion He toured the campus with classmate Ron Greenwood OAC 34 and purchased two alumni ties ai mementos of his college days at Guelph
Williams died in 1974 leaving a bequest of nearly half a million dollars to provide scholarship awards to OAC students run ed in memory of his mother the Mary Edmunds Williams Fellowships of $4000 each are awarded annually to 12 OAC students in PhD or MSc programs
When MUliei Williams died in January 1989 a further bequest of more than S 1 million was received to provide schOlarships of $5000 a year for PhD students in OAe These awards totalling $135000 annually enhance the competitiveness of OAC departments in attracting top gradate stushydents to Guelph
Ee Williams is remembered fondly by his classmates and college And by the many graduate stushy -dents who have benefited from his determination to succeed

--------------- peers says family studies professor Susan Lollis Fightshying is an important social activity for children says Lollis who is workshying with Hildy Ross a psychology professor at the University of Watershy100 to learn how toddlers develop relationships with other children of the same age
In addition to fighting they someshytimes give Mom a break by engaging in pretend play structured games and conversation
When she began her research on peer relationships Lollis was primarily interested in what mothers say to their children about how to get
Teaching children how to get along with others is a big task J()r parents like Dehhie Volpe CSS 88 oKeswick Ont who attended Alumni Weeknd with her hushandJeJf CSS 87 and their son Matthew age 18 months

along with their peers We wanted to know how kids initially learn rules that we as adults know when interacting with another individual such as Dont use anothers propershyty without permission
They looked specifically at matershynal intervention when children are fighting and found that mothers freshyquently got involved in play-time conflicts and usually directed comshyments to their own child And what they said overwhelmingly supshyported the other child says Lollis
She found that conflicts over obshyjects or toys have different rules and categories Object fights erupted over concepts such as ownership and prior possession Youngsters as young as 20 months understand who owns an object she says A common claim was Its mine
Toddlers also understand the concept of prior possession which means that whoever has an object may play with it until it is given up All parents know the cry had it first An interesting fact about obshyject fights is that children fight even if there is no object or if there are 10 identical objects says Lollis
The study found that mothers generally told their own children to share objects in their possession but to respect prior ownership if it was another child who had the obshyject
Lollis says mothers should not be criticized for this inconsistency beshycause they may be balancing several social agendas at once Over and above teaching their children rules related to ownership and prior posshysession of objects mothers are also teaching concepts ofgenerosity compassion and generally how to be good hosts to others Sometimes the basic rules for entitlement can conflict with consideration for others she says
Lollis and Ross are also involved in a study on sibling interaction and rules of conduct within a family unit supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council

Are you buying strawberry-flavored dinosaurs by Barbara Chance
Ifyouve ever had to wade your way through a grocery aisle full of sugar-coated strawberry-flavored battery-operated cereal in the shape of dinosaurs to find the corn flakes youve been buying since you were old enough to solo with a shopping cart youve probably asked yourself Who needs all this
And the answer is Somebody If enough somebodies somewhere werent buying this cereal it wouldnt be sitting on the shelf says Prof Trevor Watts Department of Consumer Studies
Of course some products dont have much of a life on the shelf They become a fad for a year then slip into oblivion when a new fad comes along Kids cereals in parshyticular have a knack for passing comet-like through your friendly neighborhood grocery store says Watts Its because young people today want so much variety and change
Todays manufacturers need to
know their consumers and markets well says Watts Introducing any new product is a huge financial risk so manufacturers need to know whos going to buy their product and whether or not its going to be around for awhile If its just going to be a fad they need to be able to
plan it as a fad product and profit from it while it lasts
There is a continual effort to inshytroduce products on the market says Watts but a lot of them fail The failure rate of new food products - from original idea to being successful on the shelf - has been estimated as high as 80 per cent The biggest cause of failure is that the product doesnt fulfil a
Guelph Alumnus
need in the consumers eyes Its also a question of timing he
says Sometimes a product can be introduced before consumers are ready to accept it Twenty-five years ago a baby food was put out on test market in a package rather ilian a glass jar After it was opened it had to be refrigerated It fa iled in the test market because people couldn t believe that baby food could be good and safe if it wasnt in a glass jar Three years ago a similar concept of dehydrated baby food that sits on the shelf in a plasshytic container was introduced and apshypears to be successful The failed baby food was just 25 years too soon
Because of the high cost of introshyducing new products many manufacturers today choose simp ly to change or improve the old ones instead Thats why youll read a new and improved label on your favorite pudding or detergent every few years
Peripheral variations involve much less time and expense for reshysearch and development and much less risk for a manufacturer says
Watts But they dont necessarily sucshy
ceed either Sometimes manufacshyturers have to learn the hard way that you cant always improve on a good thing Just ask the corn chip makers who decided a great variashytion on their product would be to color the chips blue

Shuttle bound Only a handful of
Canadians will ever have the chance to look at Earth the way Roberta Bondar OAC 68 will
Canadas first female astronaut Bondar will be part of a seven-memshyber Columbia shuttle mission scheduled for launch in mid-199I
When Im not taking my work shift Ill be looking out the window says the 44shyyear-old native of Sault Ste Marie Ont
As a payload specialist Bondar will carry out research acshytivities on behalf of scientists in 13 countries Her main area of interest deals with space sickness and the effect space travel has on the movement of body fluids
A graduate of Guelphs zoology program Bondar received an honorary degree from the Univershysity in June She told fellow graduates that the space program has made her more aware of how unique this planet is We need to use the knowledge gained through space science to raise the consciousshyness of whats happening to our enshyvironment on a global scale
Whats after space for Bondar Getting back to Earth both literally and figuratively she says
Being part of Canadas history is great but there are a lot of other things I want to do in my life I
started out at Guelph 22 years ago in an environmental vein and now Im corning back to it
I t was a Grade 10 science project that brought Bondar to Guelph Inshyfluenced by Rachel Carsons book Silent Spring she wanted to do a project on genetic resistance to DDT in fruit flies
I was probably 10 years too early for that project says Bondar but I was at least a month too late in starting it

Computer simulation by Doug Masters
Heading into
SPACE to look at Earth
laboratory in Sault Ste Marie conshyvinced her to look instead at an inshyfestation of the tent caterpillar Eventually they gave her a summer job at the lab and introduced her to Guelphs programs in the biological sciences
She later earned an MSc from the niversity of Western Ontario and a PhD from the University of Toronto before enrolling in medical school at McMaster University She was assistant professor of neurology in McMasters faculty of medicine when she heard a radio anshynouncement in July 1983 that Canada was planning to initiate an astronaut program
Acceptance into the astronaut program fulfilled a lifelong dream for Bondar but she acknowledges that few Canadians will be able to achieve the same dream
Canadas space program relies on launching facilities in other
countries so we dont need many astronauts she says Opportunities are much greater in the other wings of the space program
For years Canadian scientists have been acshytive in space science looking at upper atmosshyphere stars and other objects in the universe
We are world exshyperts in certain areas says Bondar We also have a fantastic reputashytion for building great communication satelshylites and for using other satellites for remote sensing (looking down on the Earth)
Canada will put up its own Earth observashytion satellite (Radarshysat) early in this
decade she says It will have radar facility to help us look through ice blocks and to invenshytory our wildlife and our forest stands
Bondar says Canada will also launch a mobile satellite comshymunications system that will help people in the North communicate with each other
Another wing focusing on space technology was responsible for the development of the Canadarm and is now working on robotics for a space station she says
Bondar has been in training for space flight since 1984 Her gruelshyling physical conditioning includes lifting weights to prepare for the extra 90 pounds of safety equipshyment that astronauts are now reshyquired to wear
A new launch escape suit was designed during NASAs safety review after the 1986 Challenger acshycident Bondar says NASA can not eliminate the potential danger of those first 2 12 minutes after liftoff but the new escape system will protect the astronauts if the orbiter is unable to make a runway landing
Despite the dangers Bondar says she feels as much trepidation about renting a car as she does about stepshyping into the shuttle Anytime you
25
have a p iece of enshygineering that you rely on other people for and your life depends on it its nerve- rackshying
To be part of the space program there arc certain dangers you have LO accept she says This is very risky business I11ese are pioneering days
Because of the high profile of the astronaut program a large part of Bondars job involshyves puhlic relations I think we astronauts have a responsibility to be very knowledgeable about the other parts of the space program and to pass on that knowledge to the general public
Always ttJJing to be efficient Roberta Bondar centre refused to study during her undergraduate _years at Guelph hecause going OVet-the same material taken in didnt make sense I had othet things 10 do But when a severe case ofmurnps kept her out Of classor several weeks she w(lSforred to learn how to study from textbooks ~iomethillg good comes outoevery negative exshyperience she says And that includes long-standing friendships with Elizabeth Waywell OAC MSc 70 left and retired professor Susan Corey right CO~I was my zoology professor and Way well was a graduate student in zoology who took me to her Gordon Stteel bome to recuperate says Bondar They rea~)I saved my year
communications has stood her in good stead she says Even as a student I had a real commitment that scienshytists should be able to communicate their ideas better
She encourages people - especially young people - to write for information posters photographs and lapel pins to the public relations branch of the Canadian Space Agency National Reshysearch Council of Canada Building M60 Montreal Road Ottawa KIA OR6
Space is uppermost in the minds of our young people because they can see it in their fu ture Bondar says

In an Ontario study the tick that carries the disease Ixodes dammini was found in nature at only one locashytion - Long Point on Lake Erie There is a greater risk in the coastal northeastern United States from Masshysachusetts to Delaware Minnesota Wisconsin and parts of the Pacific northwest
Lyme disease is readily treatable by antibiotics if diagshynosed early but its difficult to diagnose because it mimics other conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Bells Palsy People most prone to the disease are outdoor workers and outdoor enthusiasts
In the United States the disease has also been implishycated in arthritis and myocarditis in dogs arthritis and abortion in cattle and ophthalmic disease encephalitis and arthritis in horses
Researchers still have a lot to learn about the diagshy
~--nosis of the disease and the transmission biology of the tick says Barker The only distinctive clinical sign is a bulls-eye rash around the tick bite but only 50 to 60 per cent of infected persons develop the rash Blood tests may also be inconclusive
He is currently working on a study for Health and Welfare Canada to determine ways of preventing the disease in Canada and to gain a better understanding of the ticks biology Insect repellents long pants and shirts are the best preventive measures he says

S uper Match 90 sponsorship of the OVC Pet Tmst Fund is one way of showing the public that the college is serious about canine disease Passing on the knowledge gained through research is another
Over the summer pathology professor Owen Slocombe OVC 61 a specialist in parasitology has been interviewed several times about his research into heartworm - a debilitating mosquito-borne disease afshyfecting dogs
Although the disease is slowly moving northward from the United States most dogs in Canada are not at serious risk says Slocombe Heartworm is considered endemic around the cities of Montreal and Winnipeg and in lower southern Ontario along Lake Erie the Niagara region and Lake Ontario and north of Toronto around the Lake Simcoe Peterborough and Midland areas
Slocombes research at OVC is the first in the world to define the diseases transmission period He found the rate of worm development is linearly related to temperature ranging from 29 days at 18 C to only nine days at 30 C In Ontario for example the transmission period is June 1 to Oct 8
The worm initially develops in the skin and muscle and gradually moves into blood vessels asshysociated with the heart and lungs causing weakshyness and impaired breathing It can also cause
liver and kidney damage The condition is treatable but the treatment is both expensive and severe
Slocombe has monitored the disease annually since 1976 and says the prevalence in Canada has decreased because ofpreventive efforts by veterinarians One Onshytario survey found heartworm in 16 per cent of dogs not taking preventive medicine compared with one per cent in dogs that were

--------------- peers says family studies professor Susan Lollis Fightshying is an important social activity for children says Lollis who is workshying with Hildy Ross a psychology professor at the University of Watershy100 to learn how toddlers develop relationships with other children of the same age
In addition to fighting they someshytimes give Mom a break by engaging in pretend play structured games and conversation
When she began her research on peer relationships Lollis was primarily interested in what mothers say to their children about how to get

along with their peers We wanted to know how kids initially learn rules that we as adults know when interacting with another individual such as Dont use anothers propershyty without permission
They looked specifically at matershynal intervention when children are fighting and found that mothers freshyquently got involved in play-time conflicts and usually directed comshyments to their own child And what they said overwhelmingly supshyported the other child says Lollis
She found that conflicts over obshyjects or toys have different rules and categories Object fights erupted over concepts such as ownership and prior possession Youngsters as young as 20 months understand who owns an object she says A common claim was Its mine
Toddlers also understand the concept of prior possession which means that whoever has an object may play with it until it is given up All parents know the cry had it first An interesting fact about obshyject fights is that children fight even if there is no object or if there are 10 identical objects says Lollis
The study found that mothers generally told their own children to share objects in their possession but to respect prior ownership if it was another child who had the obshyject
Lollis says mothers should not be criticized for this inconsistency beshycause they may be balancing several social agendas at once Over and above teaching their children rules related to ownership and prior posshysession of objects mothers are also teaching concepts ofgenerosity compassion and generally how to be good hosts to others Sometimes the basic rules for entitlement can conflict with consideration for others she says
Lollis and Ross are also involved in a study on sibling interaction and rules of conduct within a family unit supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council

Are you buying strawberry-flavored dinosaurs by Barbara Chance
Ifyouve ever had to wade your way through a grocery aisle full of sugar-coated strawberry-flavored battery-operated cereal in the shape of dinosaurs to find the corn flakes youve been buying since you were old enough to solo with a shopping cart youve probably asked yourself Who needs all this
And the answer is Somebody If enough somebodies somewhere werent buying this cereal it wouldnt be sitting on the shelf says Prof Trevor Watts Department of Consumer Studies
Of course some products dont have much of a life on the shelf They become a fad for a year then slip into oblivion when a new fad comes along Kids cereals in parshyticular have a knack for passing comet-like through your friendly neighborhood grocery store says Watts Its because young people today want so much variety and change
Todays manufacturers need to
know their consumers and markets well says Watts Introducing any new product is a huge financial risk so manufacturers need to know whos going to buy their product and whether or not its going to be around for awhile If its just going to be a fad they need to be able to
plan it as a fad product and profit from it while it lasts
There is a continual effort to inshytroduce products on the market says Watts but a lot of them fail The failure rate of new food products - from original idea to being successful on the shelf - has been estimated as high as 80 per cent The biggest cause of failure is that the product doesnt fulfil a
Guelph Alumnus
need in the consumers eyes Its also a question of timing he
says Sometimes a product can be introduced before consumers are ready to accept it Twenty-five years ago a baby food was put out on test market in a package rather ilian a glass jar After it was opened it had to be refrigerated It fa iled in the test market because people couldn t believe that baby food could be good and safe if it wasnt in a glass jar Three years ago a similar concept of dehydrated baby food that sits on the shelf in a plasshytic container was introduced and apshypears to be successful The failed baby food was just 25 years too soon
Because of the high cost of introshyducing new products many manufacturers today choose simp ly to change or improve the old ones instead Thats why youll read a new and improved label on your favorite pudding or detergent every few years
Peripheral variations involve much less time and expense for reshysearch and development and much less risk for a manufacturer says
Watts But they dont necessarily sucshy
ceed either Sometimes manufacshyturers have to learn the hard way that you cant always improve on a good thing Just ask the corn chip makers who decided a great variashytion on their product would be to color the chips blue

Shuttle bound Only a handful of
Canadians will ever have the chance to look at Earth the way Roberta Bondar OAC 68 will
Canadas first female astronaut Bondar will be part of a seven-memshyber Columbia shuttle mission scheduled for launch in mid-199I
When Im not taking my work shift Ill be looking out the window says the 44shyyear-old native of Sault Ste Marie Ont
As a payload specialist Bondar will carry out research acshytivities on behalf of scientists in 13 countries Her main area of interest deals with space sickness and the effect space travel has on the movement of body fluids
A graduate of Guelphs zoology program Bondar received an honorary degree from the Univershysity in June She told fellow graduates that the space program has made her more aware of how unique this planet is We need to use the knowledge gained through space science to raise the consciousshyness of whats happening to our enshyvironment on a global scale
Whats after space for Bondar Getting back to Earth both literally and figuratively she says
Being part of Canadas history is great but there are a lot of other things I want to do in my life I
started out at Guelph 22 years ago in an environmental vein and now Im corning back to it
I t was a Grade 10 science project that brought Bondar to Guelph Inshyfluenced by Rachel Carsons book Silent Spring she wanted to do a project on genetic resistance to DDT in fruit flies
I was probably 10 years too early for that project says Bondar but I was at least a month too late in starting it

Computer simulation by Doug Masters
Heading into
SPACE to look at Earth
laboratory in Sault Ste Marie conshyvinced her to look instead at an inshyfestation of the tent caterpillar Eventually they gave her a summer job at the lab and introduced her to Guelphs programs in the biological sciences
She later earned an MSc from the niversity of Western Ontario and a PhD from the University of Toronto before enrolling in medical school at McMaster University She was assistant professor of neurology in McMasters faculty of medicine when she heard a radio anshynouncement in July 1983 that Canada was planning to initiate an astronaut program
Acceptance into the astronaut program fulfilled a lifelong dream for Bondar but she acknowledges that few Canadians will be able to achieve the same dream
Canadas space program relies on launching facilities in other
countries so we dont need many astronauts she says Opportunities are much greater in the other wings of the space program
For years Canadian scientists have been acshytive in space science looking at upper atmosshyphere stars and other objects in the universe
We are world exshyperts in certain areas says Bondar We also have a fantastic reputashytion for building great communication satelshylites and for using other satellites for remote sensing (looking down on the Earth)
Canada will put up its own Earth observashytion satellite (Radarshysat) early in this
decade she says It will have radar facility to help us look through ice blocks and to invenshytory our wildlife and our forest stands
Bondar says Canada will also launch a mobile satellite comshymunications system that will help people in the North communicate with each other
Another wing focusing on space technology was responsible for the development of the Canadarm and is now working on robotics for a space station she says
Bondar has been in training for space flight since 1984 Her gruelshyling physical conditioning includes lifting weights to prepare for the extra 90 pounds of safety equipshyment that astronauts are now reshyquired to wear
A new launch escape suit was designed during NASAs safety review after the 1986 Challenger acshycident Bondar says NASA can not eliminate the potential danger of those first 2 12 minutes after liftoff but the new escape system will protect the astronauts if the orbiter is unable to make a runway landing
Despite the dangers Bondar says she feels as much trepidation about renting a car as she does about stepshyping into the shuttle Anytime you
25
have a p iece of enshygineering that you rely on other people for and your life depends on it its nerve- rackshying
To be part of the space program there arc certain dangers you have LO accept she says This is very risky business I11ese are pioneering days
Because of the high profile of the astronaut program a large part of Bondars job involshyves puhlic relations I think we astronauts have a responsibility to be very knowledgeable about the other parts of the space program and to pass on that knowledge to the general public
Always ttJJing to be efficient Roberta Bondar centre refused to study during her undergraduate _years at Guelph hecause going OVet-the same material taken in didnt make sense I had othet things 10 do But when a severe case ofmurnps kept her out Of classor several weeks she w(lSforred to learn how to study from textbooks ~iomethillg good comes outoevery negative exshyperience she says And that includes long-standing friendships with Elizabeth Waywell OAC MSc 70 left and retired professor Susan Corey right CO~I was my zoology professor and Way well was a graduate student in zoology who took me to her Gordon Stteel bome to recuperate says Bondar They rea~)I saved my year
communications has stood her in good stead she says Even as a student I had a real commitment that scienshytists should be able to communicate their ideas better
She encourages people - especially young people - to write for information posters photographs and lapel pins to the public relations branch of the Canadian Space Agency National Reshysearch Council of Canada Building M60 Montreal Road Ottawa KIA OR6
Space is uppermost in the minds of our young people because they can see it in their fu ture Bondar says

Wildlife pathologist Ian Barker OVC 68 and MSc 70 has relieved public concern about insect-transmitted disease of potential danger to both dogs and humans
In Canada Lyme disease hysteria is far more comshymon than Lyme disease itself says Barker Canadians and their pets appear to be at very low risk of contractshying the disease he says
In an Ontario study the tick that carries the disease Ixodes dammini was found in nature at only one locashytion - Long Point on Lake Erie There is a greater risk in the coastal northeastern United States from Masshysachusetts to Delaware Minnesota Wisconsin and parts of the Pacific northwest
Lyme disease is readily treatable by antibiotics if diagshynosed early but its difficult to diagnose because it mimics other conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Bells Palsy People most prone to the disease are outdoor workers and outdoor enthusiasts
In the United States the disease has also been implishycated in arthritis and myocarditis in dogs arthritis and abortion in cattle and ophthalmic disease encephalitis and arthritis in horses

In addition to fighting they someshytimes give Mom a break by engaging in pretend play structured games and conversation
When she began her research on peer relationships Lollis was primarily interested in what mothers say to their children about how to get

along with their peers We wanted to know how kids initially learn rules that we as adults know when interacting with another individual such as Dont use anothers propershyty without permission
They looked specifically at matershynal intervention when children are fighting and found that mothers freshyquently got involved in play-time conflicts and usually directed comshyments to their own child And what they said overwhelmingly supshyported the other child says Lollis
She found that conflicts over obshyjects or toys have different rules and categories Object fights erupted over concepts such as ownership and prior possession Youngsters as young as 20 months understand who owns an object she says A common claim was Its mine
Toddlers also understand the concept of prior possession which means that whoever has an object may play with it until it is given up All parents know the cry had it first An interesting fact about obshyject fights is that children fight even if there is no object or if there are 10 identical objects says Lollis
The study found that mothers generally told their own children to share objects in their possession but to respect prior ownership if it was another child who had the obshyject
Lollis says mothers should not be criticized for this inconsistency beshycause they may be balancing several social agendas at once Over and above teaching their children rules related to ownership and prior posshysession of objects mothers are also teaching concepts ofgenerosity compassion and generally how to be good hosts to others Sometimes the basic rules for entitlement can conflict with consideration for others she says
Lollis and Ross are also involved in a study on sibling interaction and rules of conduct within a family unit supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council

Are you buying strawberry-flavored dinosaurs by Barbara Chance
Ifyouve ever had to wade your way through a grocery aisle full of sugar-coated strawberry-flavored battery-operated cereal in the shape of dinosaurs to find the corn flakes youve been buying since you were old enough to solo with a shopping cart youve probably asked yourself Who needs all this
And the answer is Somebody If enough somebodies somewhere werent buying this cereal it wouldnt be sitting on the shelf says Prof Trevor Watts Department of Consumer Studies
Of course some products dont have much of a life on the shelf They become a fad for a year then slip into oblivion when a new fad comes along Kids cereals in parshyticular have a knack for passing comet-like through your friendly neighborhood grocery store says Watts Its because young people today want so much variety and change
Todays manufacturers need to
know their consumers and markets well says Watts Introducing any new product is a huge financial risk so manufacturers need to know whos going to buy their product and whether or not its going to be around for awhile If its just going to be a fad they need to be able to
plan it as a fad product and profit from it while it lasts
There is a continual effort to inshytroduce products on the market says Watts but a lot of them fail The failure rate of new food products - from original idea to being successful on the shelf - has been estimated as high as 80 per cent The biggest cause of failure is that the product doesnt fulfil a
Guelph Alumnus
need in the consumers eyes Its also a question of timing he
says Sometimes a product can be introduced before consumers are ready to accept it Twenty-five years ago a baby food was put out on test market in a package rather ilian a glass jar After it was opened it had to be refrigerated It fa iled in the test market because people couldn t believe that baby food could be good and safe if it wasnt in a glass jar Three years ago a similar concept of dehydrated baby food that sits on the shelf in a plasshytic container was introduced and apshypears to be successful The failed baby food was just 25 years too soon
Because of the high cost of introshyducing new products many manufacturers today choose simp ly to change or improve the old ones instead Thats why youll read a new and improved label on your favorite pudding or detergent every few years
Peripheral variations involve much less time and expense for reshysearch and development and much less risk for a manufacturer says
Watts But they dont necessarily sucshy
ceed either Sometimes manufacshyturers have to learn the hard way that you cant always improve on a good thing Just ask the corn chip makers who decided a great variashytion on their product would be to color the chips blue

Shuttle bound Only a handful of
Canadians will ever have the chance to look at Earth the way Roberta Bondar OAC 68 will
Canadas first female astronaut Bondar will be part of a seven-memshyber Columbia shuttle mission scheduled for launch in mid-199I
When Im not taking my work shift Ill be looking out the window says the 44shyyear-old native of Sault Ste Marie Ont
As a payload specialist Bondar will carry out research acshytivities on behalf of scientists in 13 countries Her main area of interest deals with space sickness and the effect space travel has on the movement of body fluids
A graduate of Guelphs zoology program Bondar received an honorary degree from the Univershysity in June She told fellow graduates that the space program has made her more aware of how unique this planet is We need to use the knowledge gained through space science to raise the consciousshyness of whats happening to our enshyvironment on a global scale
Whats after space for Bondar Getting back to Earth both literally and figuratively she says
Being part of Canadas history is great but there are a lot of other things I want to do in my life I
started out at Guelph 22 years ago in an environmental vein and now Im corning back to it
I t was a Grade 10 science project that brought Bondar to Guelph Inshyfluenced by Rachel Carsons book Silent Spring she wanted to do a project on genetic resistance to DDT in fruit flies
I was probably 10 years too early for that project says Bondar but I was at least a month too late in starting it

Computer simulation by Doug Masters
Heading into
SPACE to look at Earth
laboratory in Sault Ste Marie conshyvinced her to look instead at an inshyfestation of the tent caterpillar Eventually they gave her a summer job at the lab and introduced her to Guelphs programs in the biological sciences
She later earned an MSc from the niversity of Western Ontario and a PhD from the University of Toronto before enrolling in medical school at McMaster University She was assistant professor of neurology in McMasters faculty of medicine when she heard a radio anshynouncement in July 1983 that Canada was planning to initiate an astronaut program
Acceptance into the astronaut program fulfilled a lifelong dream for Bondar but she acknowledges that few Canadians will be able to achieve the same dream
Canadas space program relies on launching facilities in other
countries so we dont need many astronauts she says Opportunities are much greater in the other wings of the space program
For years Canadian scientists have been acshytive in space science looking at upper atmosshyphere stars and other objects in the universe
We are world exshyperts in certain areas says Bondar We also have a fantastic reputashytion for building great communication satelshylites and for using other satellites for remote sensing (looking down on the Earth)
Canada will put up its own Earth observashytion satellite (Radarshysat) early in this
decade she says It will have radar facility to help us look through ice blocks and to invenshytory our wildlife and our forest stands
Bondar says Canada will also launch a mobile satellite comshymunications system that will help people in the North communicate with each other
Another wing focusing on space technology was responsible for the development of the Canadarm and is now working on robotics for a space station she says
Bondar has been in training for space flight since 1984 Her gruelshyling physical conditioning includes lifting weights to prepare for the extra 90 pounds of safety equipshyment that astronauts are now reshyquired to wear
A new launch escape suit was designed during NASAs safety review after the 1986 Challenger acshycident Bondar says NASA can not eliminate the potential danger of those first 2 12 minutes after liftoff but the new escape system will protect the astronauts if the orbiter is unable to make a runway landing
Despite the dangers Bondar says she feels as much trepidation about renting a car as she does about stepshyping into the shuttle Anytime you
25
have a p iece of enshygineering that you rely on other people for and your life depends on it its nerve- rackshying
To be part of the space program there arc certain dangers you have LO accept she says This is very risky business I11ese are pioneering days
Because of the high profile of the astronaut program a large part of Bondars job involshyves puhlic relations I think we astronauts have a responsibility to be very knowledgeable about the other parts of the space program and to pass on that knowledge to the general public
Always ttJJing to be efficient Roberta Bondar centre refused to study during her undergraduate _years at Guelph hecause going OVet-the same material taken in didnt make sense I had othet things 10 do But when a severe case ofmurnps kept her out Of classor several weeks she w(lSforred to learn how to study from textbooks ~iomethillg good comes outoevery negative exshyperience she says And that includes long-standing friendships with Elizabeth Waywell OAC MSc 70 left and retired professor Susan Corey right CO~I was my zoology professor and Way well was a graduate student in zoology who took me to her Gordon Stteel bome to recuperate says Bondar They rea~)I saved my year
communications has stood her in good stead she says Even as a student I had a real commitment that scienshytists should be able to communicate their ideas better
She encourages people - especially young people - to write for information posters photographs and lapel pins to the public relations branch of the Canadian Space Agency National Reshysearch Council of Canada Building M60 Montreal Road Ottawa KIA OR6
Space is uppermost in the minds of our young people because they can see it in their fu ture Bondar says

Wildlife pathologist Ian Barker OVC 68 and MSc 70 has relieved public concern about insect-transmitted disease of potential danger to both dogs and humans
In Canada Lyme disease hysteria is far more comshymon than Lyme disease itself says Barker Canadians and their pets appear to be at very low risk of contractshying the disease he says
In an Ontario study the tick that carries the disease Ixodes dammini was found in nature at only one locashytion - Long Point on Lake Erie There is a greater risk in the coastal northeastern United States from Masshysachusetts to Delaware Minnesota Wisconsin and parts of the Pacific northwest
Lyme disease is readily treatable by antibiotics if diagshynosed early but its difficult to diagnose because it mimics other conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Bells Palsy People most prone to the disease are outdoor workers and outdoor enthusiasts
In the United States the disease has also been implishycated in arthritis and myocarditis in dogs arthritis and abortion in cattle and ophthalmic disease encephalitis and arthritis in horses
Researchers still have a lot to learn about the diagshy
~--nosis of the disease and the transmission biology of the tick says Barker The only distinctive clinical sign is a bulls-eye rash around the tick bite but only 50 to 60 per cent of infected persons develop the rash Blood tests may also be inconclusive
He is currently working on a study for Health and Welfare Canada to determine ways of preventing the disease in Canada and to gain a better understanding of the ticks biology Insect repellents long pants and shirts are the best preventive measures he says
28
S uper Match 90 sponsorship of the OVC Pet Tmst Fund is one way of showing the public that the college is serious about canine disease Passing on the knowledge gained through research is another
Over the summer pathology professor Owen Slocombe OVC 61 a specialist in parasitology has been interviewed several times about his research into heartworm - a debilitating mosquito-borne disease afshyfecting dogs
Although the disease is slowly moving northward from the United States most dogs in Canada are not at serious risk says Slocombe Heartworm is considered endemic around the cities of Montreal and Winnipeg and in lower southern Ontario along Lake Erie the Niagara region and Lake Ontario and north of Toronto around the Lake Simcoe Peterborough and Midland areas
Slocombes research at OVC is the first in the world to define the diseases transmission period He found the rate of worm development is linearly related to temperature ranging from 29 days at 18 C to only nine days at 30 C In Ontario for example the transmission period is June 1 to Oct 8
The worm initially develops in the skin and muscle and gradually moves into blood vessels asshysociated with the heart and lungs causing weakshyness and impaired breathing It can also cause
liver and kidney damage The condition is treatable but the treatment is both expensive and severe
Slocombe has monitored the disease annually since 1976 and says the prevalence in Canada has decreased because ofpreventive efforts by veterinarians One Onshytario survey found heartworm in 16 per cent of dogs not taking preventive medicine compared with one per cent in dogs that were

--------------- peers says family studies professor Susan Lollis Fightshying is an important social activity for children says Lollis who is workshying with Hildy Ross a psychology professor at the University of Watershy100 to learn how toddlers develop relationships with other children of the same age
In addition to fighting they someshytimes give Mom a break by engaging in pretend play structured games and conversation
When she began her research on peer relationships Lollis was primarily interested in what mothers say to their children about how to get
Teaching children how to get along with others is a big task J()r parents like Dehhie Volpe CSS 88 oKeswick Ont who attended Alumni Weeknd with her hushandJeJf CSS 87 and their son Matthew age 18 months
Alumni support research Alumni are great supporters of University research Over the next year
the Alma Mater Fund will p rovide $15000 to support the work offour family and consumer studies professors through the AMFs Forster Fellowshyship Fund
Prof Rosalind Gibson Department of Family Studies will use fellowshyship funds to develop new re earch initiatives in international nutrition Consumer studies professors Anne Wilcock FACS 73 and Trevor Watts will develop a series of case studies and prepare a manual for the teaching of quality assurance Prof John Liefeld Consumer Studies will continue his work on consumer information use while he is at New Zealands Universi ty of Otago on a research fellowship
Established in 1984 in memory of GueJphs latc president Donald Forster the Forster Fellowship Fund rotates annually among the seven colshyleges To date it has provided more than $1 05000 in support of research in areas as varied as bacterial ultrastructure human muscle metabolism environment stress tolerance in plants divorce in the 20th century the structure of metals and police work

along with their peers We wanted to know how kids initially learn rules that we as adults know when interacting with another individual such as Dont use anothers propershyty without permission
They looked specifically at matershynal intervention when children are fighting and found that mothers freshyquently got involved in play-time conflicts and usually directed comshyments to their own child And what they said overwhelmingly supshyported the other child says Lollis
She found that conflicts over obshyjects or toys have different rules and categories Object fights erupted over concepts such as ownership and prior possession Youngsters as young as 20 months understand who owns an object she says A common claim was Its mine
Toddlers also understand the concept of prior possession which means that whoever has an object may play with it until it is given up All parents know the cry had it first An interesting fact about obshyject fights is that children fight even if there is no object or if there are 10 identical objects says Lollis
The study found that mothers generally told their own children to share objects in their possession but to respect prior ownership if it was another child who had the obshyject
Lollis says mothers should not be criticized for this inconsistency beshycause they may be balancing several social agendas at once Over and above teaching their children rules related to ownership and prior posshysession of objects mothers are also teaching concepts ofgenerosity compassion and generally how to be good hosts to others Sometimes the basic rules for entitlement can conflict with consideration for others she says
Lollis and Ross are also involved in a study on sibling interaction and rules of conduct within a family unit supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council

Are you buying strawberry-flavored dinosaurs by Barbara Chance
Ifyouve ever had to wade your way through a grocery aisle full of sugar-coated strawberry-flavored battery-operated cereal in the shape of dinosaurs to find the corn flakes youve been buying since you were old enough to solo with a shopping cart youve probably asked yourself Who needs all this
And the answer is Somebody If enough somebodies somewhere werent buying this cereal it wouldnt be sitting on the shelf says Prof Trevor Watts Department of Consumer Studies
Of course some products dont have much of a life on the shelf They become a fad for a year then slip into oblivion when a new fad comes along Kids cereals in parshyticular have a knack for passing comet-like through your friendly neighborhood grocery store says Watts Its because young people today want so much variety and change
Todays manufacturers need to
know their consumers and markets well says Watts Introducing any new product is a huge financial risk so manufacturers need to know whos going to buy their product and whether or not its going to be around for awhile If its just going to be a fad they need to be able to
plan it as a fad product and profit from it while it lasts
There is a continual effort to inshytroduce products on the market says Watts but a lot of them fail The failure rate of new food products - from original idea to being successful on the shelf - has been estimated as high as 80 per cent The biggest cause of failure is that the product doesnt fulfil a
Guelph Alumnus
need in the consumers eyes Its also a question of timing he
says Sometimes a product can be introduced before consumers are ready to accept it Twenty-five years ago a baby food was put out on test market in a package rather ilian a glass jar After it was opened it had to be refrigerated It fa iled in the test market because people couldn t believe that baby food could be good and safe if it wasnt in a glass jar Three years ago a similar concept of dehydrated baby food that sits on the shelf in a plasshytic container was introduced and apshypears to be successful The failed baby food was just 25 years too soon
Because of the high cost of introshyducing new products many manufacturers today choose simp ly to change or improve the old ones instead Thats why youll read a new and improved label on your favorite pudding or detergent every few years
Peripheral variations involve much less time and expense for reshysearch and development and much less risk for a manufacturer says
Watts But they dont necessarily sucshy
ceed either Sometimes manufacshyturers have to learn the hard way that you cant always improve on a good thing Just ask the corn chip makers who decided a great variashytion on their product would be to color the chips blue

1976 1983 Q ~
7000 graduates and still counting
OAC reached a milestone in June when Cheryl Stanley of Bristol Que became the 7000th graduate of the diploma in agriculture program Primarily funded by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food the proshygram began in 1874 and according to these other mileshystone graduates has been picking up speed ever since
1000 - Frank Paterson 12A of Scarborough Township Ont graduated from the program when he was 18 and went to work for $1200 a year as an assistant agricultural representative in Peel County When he retired 48 years later - earning $9000 a year - he had also served the districts of Muskoka Parry Sound and East Nipissing and the counties of Durham Norfolk Weiland and Peterborough He died in 1977 Paterson was folshylowed to Guelph by his brother George OAC 24 his daughter Molly Nix Mac 410 and four grandchildren

Shuttle bound Only a handful of
Canadians will ever have the chance to look at Earth the way Roberta Bondar OAC 68 will
Canadas first female astronaut Bondar will be part of a seven-memshyber Columbia shuttle mission scheduled for launch in mid-199I
When Im not taking my work shift Ill be looking out the window says the 44shyyear-old native of Sault Ste Marie Ont
As a payload specialist Bondar will carry out research acshytivities on behalf of scientists in 13 countries Her main area of interest deals with space sickness and the effect space travel has on the movement of body fluids
A graduate of Guelphs zoology program Bondar received an honorary degree from the Univershysity in June She told fellow graduates that the space program has made her more aware of how unique this planet is We need to use the knowledge gained through space science to raise the consciousshyness of whats happening to our enshyvironment on a global scale
Whats after space for Bondar Getting back to Earth both literally and figuratively she says
Being part of Canadas history is great but there are a lot of other things I want to do in my life I
started out at Guelph 22 years ago in an environmental vein and now Im corning back to it
I t was a Grade 10 science project that brought Bondar to Guelph Inshyfluenced by Rachel Carsons book Silent Spring she wanted to do a project on genetic resistance to DDT in fruit flies
I was probably 10 years too early for that project says Bondar but I was at least a month too late in starting it

Computer simulation by Doug Masters
Heading into
SPACE to look at Earth
laboratory in Sault Ste Marie conshyvinced her to look instead at an inshyfestation of the tent caterpillar Eventually they gave her a summer job at the lab and introduced her to Guelphs programs in the biological sciences
She later earned an MSc from the niversity of Western Ontario and a PhD from the University of Toronto before enrolling in medical school at McMaster University She was assistant professor of neurology in McMasters faculty of medicine when she heard a radio anshynouncement in July 1983 that Canada was planning to initiate an astronaut program
Acceptance into the astronaut program fulfilled a lifelong dream for Bondar but she acknowledges that few Canadians will be able to achieve the same dream
Canadas space program relies on launching facilities in other
countries so we dont need many astronauts she says Opportunities are much greater in the other wings of the space program
For years Canadian scientists have been acshytive in space science looking at upper atmosshyphere stars and other objects in the universe
We are world exshyperts in certain areas says Bondar We also have a fantastic reputashytion for building great communication satelshylites and for using other satellites for remote sensing (looking down on the Earth)
Canada will put up its own Earth observashytion satellite (Radarshysat) early in this
decade she says It will have radar facility to help us look through ice blocks and to invenshytory our wildlife and our forest stands
Bondar says Canada will also launch a mobile satellite comshymunications system that will help people in the North communicate with each other
Another wing focusing on space technology was responsible for the development of the Canadarm and is now working on robotics for a space station she says
Bondar has been in training for space flight since 1984 Her gruelshyling physical conditioning includes lifting weights to prepare for the extra 90 pounds of safety equipshyment that astronauts are now reshyquired to wear
A new launch escape suit was designed during NASAs safety review after the 1986 Challenger acshycident Bondar says NASA can not eliminate the potential danger of those first 2 12 minutes after liftoff but the new escape system will protect the astronauts if the orbiter is unable to make a runway landing
Despite the dangers Bondar says she feels as much trepidation about renting a car as she does about stepshyping into the shuttle Anytime you
25
have a p iece of enshygineering that you rely on other people for and your life depends on it its nerve- rackshying
To be part of the space program there arc certain dangers you have LO accept she says This is very risky business I11ese are pioneering days
Because of the high profile of the astronaut program a large part of Bondars job involshyves puhlic relations I think we astronauts have a responsibility to be very knowledgeable about the other parts of the space program and to pass on that knowledge to the general public
Always ttJJing to be efficient Roberta Bondar centre refused to study during her undergraduate _years at Guelph hecause going OVet-the same material taken in didnt make sense I had othet things 10 do But when a severe case ofmurnps kept her out Of classor several weeks she w(lSforred to learn how to study from textbooks ~iomethillg good comes outoevery negative exshyperience she says And that includes long-standing friendships with Elizabeth Waywell OAC MSc 70 left and retired professor Susan Corey right CO~I was my zoology professor and Way well was a graduate student in zoology who took me to her Gordon Stteel bome to recuperate says Bondar They rea~)I saved my year
communications has stood her in good stead she says Even as a student I had a real commitment that scienshytists should be able to communicate their ideas better
She encourages people - especially young people - to write for information posters photographs and lapel pins to the public relations branch of the Canadian Space Agency National Reshysearch Council of Canada Building M60 Montreal Road Ottawa KIA OR6
Space is uppermost in the minds of our young people because they can see it in their fu ture Bondar says

Wildlife pathologist Ian Barker OVC 68 and MSc 70 has relieved public concern about insect-transmitted disease of potential danger to both dogs and humans
In Canada Lyme disease hysteria is far more comshymon than Lyme disease itself says Barker Canadians and their pets appear to be at very low risk of contractshying the disease he says
In an Ontario study the tick that carries the disease Ixodes dammini was found in nature at only one locashytion - Long Point on Lake Erie There is a greater risk in the coastal northeastern United States from Masshysachusetts to Delaware Minnesota Wisconsin and parts of the Pacific northwest
Lyme disease is readily treatable by antibiotics if diagshynosed early but its difficult to diagnose because it mimics other conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Bells Palsy People most prone to the disease are outdoor workers and outdoor enthusiasts
In the United States the disease has also been implishycated in arthritis and myocarditis in dogs arthritis and abortion in cattle and ophthalmic disease encephalitis and arthritis in horses
Researchers still have a lot to learn about the diagshy
~--nosis of the disease and the transmission biology of the tick says Barker The only distinctive clinical sign is a bulls-eye rash around the tick bite but only 50 to 60 per cent of infected persons develop the rash Blood tests may also be inconclusive
He is currently working on a study for Health and Welfare Canada to determine ways of preventing the disease in Canada and to gain a better understanding of the ticks biology Insect repellents long pants and shirts are the best preventive measures he says
28
S uper Match 90 sponsorship of the OVC Pet Tmst Fund is one way of showing the public that the college is serious about canine disease Passing on the knowledge gained through research is another
Over the summer pathology professor Owen Slocombe OVC 61 a specialist in parasitology has been interviewed several times about his research into heartworm - a debilitating mosquito-borne disease afshyfecting dogs
Although the disease is slowly moving northward from the United States most dogs in Canada are not at serious risk says Slocombe Heartworm is considered endemic around the cities of Montreal and Winnipeg and in lower southern Ontario along Lake Erie the Niagara region and Lake Ontario and north of Toronto around the Lake Simcoe Peterborough and Midland areas
Slocombes research at OVC is the first in the world to define the diseases transmission period He found the rate of worm development is linearly related to temperature ranging from 29 days at 18 C to only nine days at 30 C In Ontario for example the transmission period is June 1 to Oct 8
The worm initially develops in the skin and muscle and gradually moves into blood vessels asshysociated with the heart and lungs causing weakshyness and impaired breathing It can also cause
liver and kidney damage The condition is treatable but the treatment is both expensive and severe
Slocombe has monitored the disease annually since 1976 and says the prevalence in Canada has decreased because ofpreventive efforts by veterinarians One Onshytario survey found heartworm in 16 per cent of dogs not taking preventive medicine compared with one per cent in dogs that were

Alumni support research Alumni are great supporters of University research Over the next year
the Alma Mater Fund will p rovide $15000 to support the work offour family and consumer studies professors through the AMFs Forster Fellowshyship Fund
Prof Rosalind Gibson Department of Family Studies will use fellowshyship funds to develop new re earch initiatives in international nutrition Consumer studies professors Anne Wilcock FACS 73 and Trevor Watts will develop a series of case studies and prepare a manual for the teaching of quality assurance Prof John Liefeld Consumer Studies will continue his work on consumer information use while he is at New Zealands Universi ty of Otago on a research fellowship
Established in 1984 in memory of GueJphs latc president Donald Forster the Forster Fellowship Fund rotates annually among the seven colshyleges To date it has provided more than $1 05000 in support of research in areas as varied as bacterial ultrastructure human muscle metabolism environment stress tolerance in plants divorce in the 20th century the structure of metals and police work

along with their peers We wanted to know how kids initially learn rules that we as adults know when interacting with another individual such as Dont use anothers propershyty without permission
They looked specifically at matershynal intervention when children are fighting and found that mothers freshyquently got involved in play-time conflicts and usually directed comshyments to their own child And what they said overwhelmingly supshyported the other child says Lollis
She found that conflicts over obshyjects or toys have different rules and categories Object fights erupted over concepts such as ownership and prior possession Youngsters as young as 20 months understand who owns an object she says A common claim was Its mine
Toddlers also understand the concept of prior possession which means that whoever has an object may play with it until it is given up All parents know the cry had it first An interesting fact about obshyject fights is that children fight even if there is no object or if there are 10 identical objects says Lollis
The study found that mothers generally told their own children to share objects in their possession but to respect prior ownership if it was another child who had the obshyject
Lollis says mothers should not be criticized for this inconsistency beshycause they may be balancing several social agendas at once Over and above teaching their children rules related to ownership and prior posshysession of objects mothers are also teaching concepts ofgenerosity compassion and generally how to be good hosts to others Sometimes the basic rules for entitlement can conflict with consideration for others she says
Lollis and Ross are also involved in a study on sibling interaction and rules of conduct within a family unit supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council

Are you buying strawberry-flavored dinosaurs by Barbara Chance
Ifyouve ever had to wade your way through a grocery aisle full of sugar-coated strawberry-flavored battery-operated cereal in the shape of dinosaurs to find the corn flakes youve been buying since you were old enough to solo with a shopping cart youve probably asked yourself Who needs all this
And the answer is Somebody If enough somebodies somewhere werent buying this cereal it wouldnt be sitting on the shelf says Prof Trevor Watts Department of Consumer Studies
Of course some products dont have much of a life on the shelf They become a fad for a year then slip into oblivion when a new fad comes along Kids cereals in parshyticular have a knack for passing comet-like through your friendly neighborhood grocery store says Watts Its because young people today want so much variety and change
Todays manufacturers need to
know their consumers and markets well says Watts Introducing any new product is a huge financial risk so manufacturers need to know whos going to buy their product and whether or not its going to be around for awhile If its just going to be a fad they need to be able to
plan it as a fad product and profit from it while it lasts
There is a continual effort to inshytroduce products on the market says Watts but a lot of them fail The failure rate of new food products - from original idea to being successful on the shelf - has been estimated as high as 80 per cent The biggest cause of failure is that the product doesnt fulfil a
Guelph Alumnus
need in the consumers eyes Its also a question of timing he
says Sometimes a product can be introduced before consumers are ready to accept it Twenty-five years ago a baby food was put out on test market in a package rather ilian a glass jar After it was opened it had to be refrigerated It fa iled in the test market because people couldn t believe that baby food could be good and safe if it wasnt in a glass jar Three years ago a similar concept of dehydrated baby food that sits on the shelf in a plasshytic container was introduced and apshypears to be successful The failed baby food was just 25 years too soon
Because of the high cost of introshyducing new products many manufacturers today choose simp ly to change or improve the old ones instead Thats why youll read a new and improved label on your favorite pudding or detergent every few years
Peripheral variations involve much less time and expense for reshysearch and development and much less risk for a manufacturer says
Watts But they dont necessarily sucshy
ceed either Sometimes manufacshyturers have to learn the hard way that you cant always improve on a good thing Just ask the corn chip makers who decided a great variashytion on their product would be to color the chips blue

Diploma program celebrates milestone
1976 1983 Q ~
7000 graduates and still counting
OAC reached a milestone in June when Cheryl Stanley of Bristol Que became the 7000th graduate of the diploma in agriculture program Primarily funded by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food the proshygram began in 1874 and according to these other mileshystone graduates has been picking up speed ever since
1000 - Frank Paterson 12A of Scarborough Township Ont graduated from the program when he was 18 and went to work for $1200 a year as an assistant agricultural representative in Peel County When he retired 48 years later - earning $9000 a year - he had also served the districts of Muskoka Parry Sound and East Nipissing and the counties of Durham Norfolk Weiland and Peterborough He died in 1977 Paterson was folshylowed to Guelph by his brother George OAC 24 his daughter Molly Nix Mac 410 and four grandchildren

Shuttle bound Only a handful of
Canadians will ever have the chance to look at Earth the way Roberta Bondar OAC 68 will
Canadas first female astronaut Bondar will be part of a seven-memshyber Columbia shuttle mission scheduled for launch in mid-199I
When Im not taking my work shift Ill be looking out the window says the 44shyyear-old native of Sault Ste Marie Ont
As a payload specialist Bondar will carry out research acshytivities on behalf of scientists in 13 countries Her main area of interest deals with space sickness and the effect space travel has on the movement of body fluids
A graduate of Guelphs zoology program Bondar received an honorary degree from the Univershysity in June She told fellow graduates that the space program has made her more aware of how unique this planet is We need to use the knowledge gained through space science to raise the consciousshyness of whats happening to our enshyvironment on a global scale
Whats after space for Bondar Getting back to Earth both literally and figuratively she says
Being part of Canadas history is great but there are a lot of other things I want to do in my life I
started out at Guelph 22 years ago in an environmental vein and now Im corning back to it
I t was a Grade 10 science project that brought Bondar to Guelph Inshyfluenced by Rachel Carsons book Silent Spring she wanted to do a project on genetic resistance to DDT in fruit flies
I was probably 10 years too early for that project says Bondar but I was at least a month too late in starting it

Computer simulation by Doug Masters
Heading into
SPACE to look at Earth
laboratory in Sault Ste Marie conshyvinced her to look instead at an inshyfestation of the tent caterpillar Eventually they gave her a summer job at the lab and introduced her to Guelphs programs in the biological sciences
She later earned an MSc from the niversity of Western Ontario and a PhD from the University of Toronto before enrolling in medical school at McMaster University She was assistant professor of neurology in McMasters faculty of medicine when she heard a radio anshynouncement in July 1983 that Canada was planning to initiate an astronaut program
Acceptance into the astronaut program fulfilled a lifelong dream for Bondar but she acknowledges that few Canadians will be able to achieve the same dream
Canadas space program relies on launching facilities in other
countries so we dont need many astronauts she says Opportunities are much greater in the other wings of the space program
For years Canadian scientists have been acshytive in space science looking at upper atmosshyphere stars and other objects in the universe
We are world exshyperts in certain areas says Bondar We also have a fantastic reputashytion for building great communication satelshylites and for using other satellites for remote sensing (looking down on the Earth)
Canada will put up its own Earth observashytion satellite (Radarshysat) early in this
decade she says It will have radar facility to help us look through ice blocks and to invenshytory our wildlife and our forest stands
Bondar says Canada will also launch a mobile satellite comshymunications system that will help people in the North communicate with each other
Another wing focusing on space technology was responsible for the development of the Canadarm and is now working on robotics for a space station she says
Bondar has been in training for space flight since 1984 Her gruelshyling physical conditioning includes lifting weights to prepare for the extra 90 pounds of safety equipshyment that astronauts are now reshyquired to wear
A new launch escape suit was designed during NASAs safety review after the 1986 Challenger acshycident Bondar says NASA can not eliminate the potential danger of those first 2 12 minutes after liftoff but the new escape system will protect the astronauts if the orbiter is unable to make a runway landing
Despite the dangers Bondar says she feels as much trepidation about renting a car as she does about stepshyping into the shuttle Anytime you
25
have a p iece of enshygineering that you rely on other people for and your life depends on it its nerve- rackshying
To be part of the space program there arc certain dangers you have LO accept she says This is very risky business I11ese are pioneering days
Because of the high profile of the astronaut program a large part of Bondars job involshyves puhlic relations I think we astronauts have a responsibility to be very knowledgeable about the other parts of the space program and to pass on that knowledge to the general public
Always ttJJing to be efficient Roberta Bondar centre refused to study during her undergraduate _years at Guelph hecause going OVet-the same material taken in didnt make sense I had othet things 10 do But when a severe case ofmurnps kept her out Of classor several weeks she w(lSforred to learn how to study from textbooks ~iomethillg good comes outoevery negative exshyperience she says And that includes long-standing friendships with Elizabeth Waywell OAC MSc 70 left and retired professor Susan Corey right CO~I was my zoology professor and Way well was a graduate student in zoology who took me to her Gordon Stteel bome to recuperate says Bondar They rea~)I saved my year
communications has stood her in good stead she says Even as a student I had a real commitment that scienshytists should be able to communicate their ideas better
She encourages people - especially young people - to write for information posters photographs and lapel pins to the public relations branch of the Canadian Space Agency National Reshysearch Council of Canada Building M60 Montreal Road Ottawa KIA OR6
Space is uppermost in the minds of our young people because they can see it in their fu ture Bondar says

Wildlife pathologist Ian Barker OVC 68 and MSc 70 has relieved public concern about insect-transmitted disease of potential danger to both dogs and humans
In Canada Lyme disease hysteria is far more comshymon than Lyme disease itself says Barker Canadians and their pets appear to be at very low risk of contractshying the disease he says
In an Ontario study the tick that carries the disease Ixodes dammini was found in nature at only one locashytion - Long Point on Lake Erie There is a greater risk in the coastal northeastern United States from Masshysachusetts to Delaware Minnesota Wisconsin and parts of the Pacific northwest
Lyme disease is readily treatable by antibiotics if diagshynosed early but its difficult to diagnose because it mimics other conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Bells Palsy People most prone to the disease are outdoor workers and outdoor enthusiasts
In the United States the disease has also been implishycated in arthritis and myocarditis in dogs arthritis and abortion in cattle and ophthalmic disease encephalitis and arthritis in horses
Researchers still have a lot to learn about the diagshy
~--nosis of the disease and the transmission biology of the tick says Barker The only distinctive clinical sign is a bulls-eye rash around the tick bite but only 50 to 60 per cent of infected persons develop the rash Blood tests may also be inconclusive
He is currently working on a study for Health and Welfare Canada to determine ways of preventing the disease in Canada and to gain a better understanding of the ticks biology Insect repellents long pants and shirts are the best preventive measures he says
28
S uper Match 90 sponsorship of the OVC Pet Tmst Fund is one way of showing the public that the college is serious about canine disease Passing on the knowledge gained through research is another
Over the summer pathology professor Owen Slocombe OVC 61 a specialist in parasitology has been interviewed several times about his research into heartworm - a debilitating mosquito-borne disease afshyfecting dogs
Although the disease is slowly moving northward from the United States most dogs in Canada are not at serious risk says Slocombe Heartworm is considered endemic around the cities of Montreal and Winnipeg and in lower southern Ontario along Lake Erie the Niagara region and Lake Ontario and north of Toronto around the Lake Simcoe Peterborough and Midland areas
Slocombes research at OVC is the first in the world to define the diseases transmission period He found the rate of worm development is linearly related to temperature ranging from 29 days at 18 C to only nine days at 30 C In Ontario for example the transmission period is June 1 to Oct 8
The worm initially develops in the skin and muscle and gradually moves into blood vessels asshysociated with the heart and lungs causing weakshyness and impaired breathing It can also cause
liver and kidney damage The condition is treatable but the treatment is both expensive and severe
Slocombe has monitored the disease annually since 1976 and says the prevalence in Canada has decreased because ofpreventive efforts by veterinarians One Onshytario survey found heartworm in 16 per cent of dogs not taking preventive medicine compared with one per cent in dogs that were

Are you buying strawberry-flavored dinosaurs by Barbara Chance
Ifyouve ever had to wade your way through a grocery aisle full of sugar-coated strawberry-flavored battery-operated cereal in the shape of dinosaurs to find the corn flakes youve been buying since you were old enough to solo with a shopping cart youve probably asked yourself Who needs all this
And the answer is Somebody If enough somebodies somewhere werent buying this cereal it wouldnt be sitting on the shelf says Prof Trevor Watts Department of Consumer Studies
Of course some products dont have much of a life on the shelf They become a fad for a year then slip into oblivion when a new fad comes along Kids cereals in parshyticular have a knack for passing comet-like through your friendly neighborhood grocery store says Watts Its because young people today want so much variety and change
Todays manufacturers need to
know their consumers and markets well says Watts Introducing any new product is a huge financial risk so manufacturers need to know whos going to buy their product and whether or not its going to be around for awhile If its just going to be a fad they need to be able to
plan it as a fad product and profit from it while it lasts
There is a continual effort to inshytroduce products on the market says Watts but a lot of them fail The failure rate of new food products - from original idea to being successful on the shelf - has been estimated as high as 80 per cent The biggest cause of failure is that the product doesnt fulfil a
Guelph Alumnus
need in the consumers eyes Its also a question of timing he
says Sometimes a product can be introduced before consumers are ready to accept it Twenty-five years ago a baby food was put out on test market in a package rather ilian a glass jar After it was opened it had to be refrigerated It fa iled in the test market because people couldn t believe that baby food could be good and safe if it wasnt in a glass jar Three years ago a similar concept of dehydrated baby food that sits on the shelf in a plasshytic container was introduced and apshypears to be successful The failed baby food was just 25 years too soon
Because of the high cost of introshyducing new products many manufacturers today choose simp ly to change or improve the old ones instead Thats why youll read a new and improved label on your favorite pudding or detergent every few years
Peripheral variations involve much less time and expense for reshysearch and development and much less risk for a manufacturer says
Watts But they dont necessarily sucshy
ceed either Sometimes manufacshyturers have to learn the hard way that you cant always improve on a good thing Just ask the corn chip makers who decided a great variashytion on their product would be to color the chips blue
Congratulations
TIle Canadian Society of Conshysumer Affairs Professionals has developed an award for outshystanding contributions to conshysumer affairs and Linda Rutledge FACS 72 is the firs t recipient
Rutledge is consumer educashytion adviser for the Canadian Bankers Association whicl has produced a highly rated conshysumer education program that -includes classroom and television materials for children and d irect-to-consumer materials for adults She is also past president of SOCAP

Shuttle bound Only a handful of
Canadians will ever have the chance to look at Earth the way Roberta Bondar OAC 68 will
Canadas first female astronaut Bondar will be part of a seven-memshyber Columbia shuttle mission scheduled for launch in mid-199I
When Im not taking my work shift Ill be looking out the window says the 44shyyear-old native of Sault Ste Marie Ont
As a payload specialist Bondar will carry out research acshytivities on behalf of scientists in 13 countries Her main area of interest deals with space sickness and the effect space travel has on the movement of body fluids
A graduate of Guelphs zoology program Bondar received an honorary degree from the Univershysity in June She told fellow graduates that the space program has made her more aware of how unique this planet is We need to use the knowledge gained through space science to raise the consciousshyness of whats happening to our enshyvironment on a global scale
Whats after space for Bondar Getting back to Earth both literally and figuratively she says
Being part of Canadas history is great but there are a lot of other things I want to do in my life I
started out at Guelph 22 years ago in an environmental vein and now Im corning back to it
I t was a Grade 10 science project that brought Bondar to Guelph Inshyfluenced by Rachel Carsons book Silent Spring she wanted to do a project on genetic resistance to DDT in fruit flies
I was probably 10 years too early for that project says Bondar but I was at least a month too late in starting it

SPACE to look at Earth
laboratory in Sault Ste Marie conshyvinced her to look instead at an inshyfestation of the tent caterpillar Eventually they gave her a summer job at the lab and introduced her to Guelphs programs in the biological sciences
She later earned an MSc from the niversity of Western Ontario and a PhD from the University of Toronto before enrolling in medical school at McMaster University She was assistant professor of neurology in McMasters faculty of medicine when she heard a radio anshynouncement in July 1983 that Canada was planning to initiate an astronaut program
Acceptance into the astronaut program fulfilled a lifelong dream for Bondar but she acknowledges that few Canadians will be able to achieve the same dream
Canadas space program relies on launching facilities in other
countries so we dont need many astronauts she says Opportunities are much greater in the other wings of the space program
For years Canadian scientists have been acshytive in space science looking at upper atmosshyphere stars and other objects in the universe
We are world exshyperts in certain areas says Bondar We also have a fantastic reputashytion for building great communication satelshylites and for using other satellites for remote sensing (looking down on the Earth)
Canada will put up its own Earth observashytion satellite (Radarshysat) early in this
decade she says It will have radar facility to help us look through ice blocks and to invenshytory our wildlife and our forest stands
Bondar says Canada will also launch a mobile satellite comshymunications system that will help people in the North communicate with each other
Another wing focusing on space technology was responsible for the development of the Canadarm and is now working on robotics for a space station she says
Bondar has been in training for space flight since 1984 Her gruelshyling physical conditioning includes lifting weights to prepare for the extra 90 pounds of safety equipshyment that astronauts are now reshyquired to wear
A new launch escape suit was designed during NASAs safety review after the 1986 Challenger acshycident Bondar says NASA can not eliminate the potential danger of those first 2 12 minutes after liftoff but the new escape system will protect the astronauts if the orbiter is unable to make a runway landing
Despite the dangers Bondar says she feels as much trepidation about renting a car as she does about stepshyping into the shuttle Anytime you
25
have a p iece of enshygineering that you rely on other people for and your life depends on it its nerve- rackshying
To be part of the space program there arc certain dangers you have LO accept she says This is very risky business I11ese are pioneering days
Because of the high profile of the astronaut program a large part of Bondars job involshyves puhlic relations I think we astronauts have a responsibility to be very knowledgeable about the other parts of the space program and to pass on that knowledge to the general public
Always ttJJing to be efficient Roberta Bondar centre refused to study during her undergraduate _years at Guelph hecause going OVet-the same material taken in didnt make sense I had othet things 10 do But when a severe case ofmurnps kept her out Of classor several weeks she w(lSforred to learn how to study from textbooks ~iomethillg good comes outoevery negative exshyperience she says And that includes long-standing friendships with Elizabeth Waywell OAC MSc 70 left and retired professor Susan Corey right CO~I was my zoology professor and Way well was a graduate student in zoology who took me to her Gordon Stteel bome to recuperate says Bondar They rea~)I saved my year
communications has stood her in good stead she says Even as a student I had a real commitment that scienshytists should be able to communicate their ideas better
She encourages people - especially young people - to write for information posters photographs and lapel pins to the public relations branch of the Canadian Space Agency National Reshysearch Council of Canada Building M60 Montreal Road Ottawa KIA OR6
Space is uppermost in the minds of our young people because they can see it in their fu ture Bondar says

Wildlife pathologist Ian Barker OVC 68 and MSc 70 has relieved public concern about insect-transmitted disease of potential danger to both dogs and humans
In Canada Lyme disease hysteria is far more comshymon than Lyme disease itself says Barker Canadians and their pets appear to be at very low risk of contractshying the disease he says
In an Ontario study the tick that carries the disease Ixodes dammini was found in nature at only one locashytion - Long Point on Lake Erie There is a greater risk in the coastal northeastern United States from Masshysachusetts to Delaware Minnesota Wisconsin and parts of the Pacific northwest
Lyme disease is readily treatable by antibiotics if diagshynosed early but its difficult to diagnose because it mimics other conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Bells Palsy People most prone to the disease are outdoor workers and outdoor enthusiasts
In the United States the disease has also been implishycated in arthritis and myocarditis in dogs arthritis and abortion in cattle and ophthalmic disease encephalitis and arthritis in horses
Researchers still have a lot to learn about the diagshy
~--nosis of the disease and the transmission biology of the tick says Barker The only distinctive clinical sign is a bulls-eye rash around the tick bite but only 50 to 60 per cent of infected persons develop the rash Blood tests may also be inconclusive
He is currently working on a study for Health and Welfare Canada to determine ways of preventing the disease in Canada and to gain a better understanding of the ticks biology Insect repellents long pants and shirts are the best preventive measures he says
28
S uper Match 90 sponsorship of the OVC Pet Tmst Fund is one way of showing the public that the college is serious about canine disease Passing on the knowledge gained through research is another
Over the summer pathology professor Owen Slocombe OVC 61 a specialist in parasitology has been interviewed several times about his research into heartworm - a debilitating mosquito-borne disease afshyfecting dogs
Although the disease is slowly moving northward from the United States most dogs in Canada are not at serious risk says Slocombe Heartworm is considered endemic around the cities of Montreal and Winnipeg and in lower southern Ontario along Lake Erie the Niagara region and Lake Ontario and north of Toronto around the Lake Simcoe Peterborough and Midland areas
Slocombes research at OVC is the first in the world to define the diseases transmission period He found the rate of worm development is linearly related to temperature ranging from 29 days at 18 C to only nine days at 30 C In Ontario for example the transmission period is June 1 to Oct 8
The worm initially develops in the skin and muscle and gradually moves into blood vessels asshysociated with the heart and lungs causing weakshyness and impaired breathing It can also cause
liver and kidney damage The condition is treatable but the treatment is both expensive and severe
Slocombe has monitored the disease annually since 1976 and says the prevalence in Canada has decreased because ofpreventive efforts by veterinarians One Onshytario survey found heartworm in 16 per cent of dogs not taking preventive medicine compared with one per cent in dogs that were

Shuttle bound Only a handful of
Canadians will ever have the chance to look at Earth the way Roberta Bondar OAC 68 will
Canadas first female astronaut Bondar will be part of a seven-memshyber Columbia shuttle mission scheduled for launch in mid-199I
When Im not taking my work shift Ill be looking out the window says the 44shyyear-old native of Sault Ste Marie Ont
As a payload specialist Bondar will carry out research acshytivities on behalf of scientists in 13 countries Her main area of interest deals with space sickness and the effect space travel has on the movement of body fluids
A graduate of Guelphs zoology program Bondar received an honorary degree from the Univershysity in June She told fellow graduates that the space program has made her more aware of how unique this planet is We need to use the knowledge gained through space science to raise the consciousshyness of whats happening to our enshyvironment on a global scale
Whats after space for Bondar Getting back to Earth both literally and figuratively she says
Being part of Canadas history is great but there are a lot of other things I want to do in my life I
started out at Guelph 22 years ago in an environmental vein and now Im corning back to it
I t was a Grade 10 science project that brought Bondar to Guelph Inshyfluenced by Rachel Carsons book Silent Spring she wanted to do a project on genetic resistance to DDT in fruit flies
I was probably 10 years too early for that project says Bondar but I was at least a month too late in starting it

Computer simulation by Doug Masters
Heading into
SPACE to look at Earth
laboratory in Sault Ste Marie conshyvinced her to look instead at an inshyfestation of the tent caterpillar Eventually they gave her a summer job at the lab and introduced her to Guelphs programs in the biological sciences
She later earned an MSc from the niversity of Western Ontario and a PhD from the University of Toronto before enrolling in medical school at McMaster University She was assistant professor of neurology in McMasters faculty of medicine when she heard a radio anshynouncement in July 1983 that Canada was planning to initiate an astronaut program
Acceptance into the astronaut program fulfilled a lifelong dream for Bondar but she acknowledges that few Canadians will be able to achieve the same dream
Canadas space program relies on launching facilities in other
countries so we dont need many astronauts she says Opportunities are much greater in the other wings of the space program
For years Canadian scientists have been acshytive in space science looking at upper atmosshyphere stars and other objects in the universe
We are world exshyperts in certain areas says Bondar We also have a fantastic reputashytion for building great communication satelshylites and for using other satellites for remote sensing (looking down on the Earth)
Canada will put up its own Earth observashytion satellite (Radarshysat) early in this
decade she says It will have radar facility to help us look through ice blocks and to invenshytory our wildlife and our forest stands
Bondar says Canada will also launch a mobile satellite comshymunications system that will help people in the North communicate with each other
Another wing focusing on space technology was responsible for the development of the Canadarm and is now working on robotics for a space station she says
Bondar has been in training for space flight since 1984 Her gruelshyling physical conditioning includes lifting weights to prepare for the extra 90 pounds of safety equipshyment that astronauts are now reshyquired to wear
A new launch escape suit was designed during NASAs safety review after the 1986 Challenger acshycident Bondar says NASA can not eliminate the potential danger of those first 2 12 minutes after liftoff but the new escape system will protect the astronauts if the orbiter is unable to make a runway landing
Despite the dangers Bondar says she feels as much trepidation about renting a car as she does about stepshyping into the shuttle Anytime you
25
have a p iece of enshygineering that you rely on other people for and your life depends on it its nerve- rackshying
To be part of the space program there arc certain dangers you have LO accept she says This is very risky business I11ese are pioneering days
Because of the high profile of the astronaut program a large part of Bondars job involshyves puhlic relations I think we astronauts have a responsibility to be very knowledgeable about the other parts of the space program and to pass on that knowledge to the general public
Always ttJJing to be efficient Roberta Bondar centre refused to study during her undergraduate _years at Guelph hecause going OVet-the same material taken in didnt make sense I had othet things 10 do But when a severe case ofmurnps kept her out Of classor several weeks she w(lSforred to learn how to study from textbooks ~iomethillg good comes outoevery negative exshyperience she says And that includes long-standing friendships with Elizabeth Waywell OAC MSc 70 left and retired professor Susan Corey right CO~I was my zoology professor and Way well was a graduate student in zoology who took me to her Gordon Stteel bome to recuperate says Bondar They rea~)I saved my year
communications has stood her in good stead she says Even as a student I had a real commitment that scienshytists should be able to communicate their ideas better
She encourages people - especially young people - to write for information posters photographs and lapel pins to the public relations branch of the Canadian Space Agency National Reshysearch Council of Canada Building M60 Montreal Road Ottawa KIA OR6
Space is uppermost in the minds of our young people because they can see it in their fu ture Bondar says

The work of both faculty and students in the school is published broadly Last year USRPD produced a special edition ofPlan Canada the journal of the Canadian Institute of Planners on rural planning and development in Canada
Douglas says USRPD will conshytinue to respond to the changing and complex rural agenda shyworking toward sustainable comshymunity development and environshymental stewardship contributing to academic research and enhancshying the effectiveness of the planshyning profeSSion in Canada and in the international context

Sharing the honor
These things you are honoring me for were not done in isolation said Dr Kenneth Wells 38 on receiving the 1990 OVC Distinshyguished Alumnus award at Alumni Weekend I had the help of a very good team namely the veterinarians of

Wildlife pathologist Ian Barker OVC 68 and MSc 70 has relieved public concern about insect-transmitted disease of potential danger to both dogs and humans
In Canada Lyme disease hysteria is far more comshymon than Lyme disease itself says Barker Canadians and their pets appear to be at very low risk of contractshying the disease he says
In an Ontario study the tick that carries the disease Ixodes dammini was found in nature at only one locashytion - Long Point on Lake Erie There is a greater risk in the coastal northeastern United States from Masshysachusetts to Delaware Minnesota Wisconsin and parts of the Pacific northwest
Lyme disease is readily treatable by antibiotics if diagshynosed early but its difficult to diagnose because it mimics other conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Bells Palsy People most prone to the disease are outdoor workers and outdoor enthusiasts
In the United States the disease has also been implishycated in arthritis and myocarditis in dogs arthritis and abortion in cattle and ophthalmic disease encephalitis and arthritis in horses
Researchers still have a lot to learn about the diagshy
~--nosis of the disease and the transmission biology of the tick says Barker The only distinctive clinical sign is a bulls-eye rash around the tick bite but only 50 to 60 per cent of infected persons develop the rash Blood tests may also be inconclusive
He is currently working on a study for Health and Welfare Canada to determine ways of preventing the disease in Canada and to gain a better understanding of the ticks biology Insect repellents long pants and shirts are the best preventive measures he says

S uper Match 90 sponsorship of the OVC Pet Tmst Fund is one way of showing the public that the college is serious about canine disease Passing on the knowledge gained through research is another
Over the summer pathology professor Owen Slocombe OVC 61 a specialist in parasitology has been interviewed several times about his research into heartworm - a debilitating mosquito-borne disease afshyfecting dogs
Although the disease is slowly moving northward from the United States most dogs in Canada are not at serious risk says Slocombe Heartworm is considered endemic around the cities of Montreal and Winnipeg and in lower southern Ontario along Lake Erie the Niagara region and Lake Ontario and north of Toronto around the Lake Simcoe Peterborough and Midland areas
Slocombes research at OVC is the first in the world to define the diseases transmission period He found the rate of worm development is linearly related to temperature ranging from 29 days at 18 C to only nine days at 30 C In Ontario for example the transmission period is June 1 to Oct 8
The worm initially develops in the skin and muscle and gradually moves into blood vessels asshysociated with the heart and lungs causing weakshyness and impaired breathing It can also cause
liver and kidney damage The condition is treatable but the treatment is both expensive and severe
Slocombe has monitored the disease annually since 1976 and says the prevalence in Canada has decreased because ofpreventive efforts by veterinarians One Onshytario survey found heartworm in 16 per cent of dogs not taking preventive medicine compared with one per cent in dogs that were

Shuttle bound Only a handful of
Canadians will ever have the chance to look at Earth the way Roberta Bondar OAC 68 will
Canadas first female astronaut Bondar will be part of a seven-memshyber Columbia shuttle mission scheduled for launch in mid-199I
When Im not taking my work shift Ill be looking out the window says the 44shyyear-old native of Sault Ste Marie Ont
As a payload specialist Bondar will carry out research acshytivities on behalf of scientists in 13 countries Her main area of interest deals with space sickness and the effect space travel has on the movement of body fluids
A graduate of Guelphs zoology program Bondar received an honorary degree from the Univershysity in June She told fellow graduates that the space program has made her more aware of how unique this planet is We need to use the knowledge gained through space science to raise the consciousshyness of whats happening to our enshyvironment on a global scale
Whats after space for Bondar Getting back to Earth both literally and figuratively she says
Being part of Canadas history is great but there are a lot of other things I want to do in my life I
started out at Guelph 22 years ago in an environmental vein and now Im corning back to it
I t was a Grade 10 science project that brought Bondar to Guelph Inshyfluenced by Rachel Carsons book Silent Spring she wanted to do a project on genetic resistance to DDT in fruit flies
I was probably 10 years too early for that project says Bondar but I was at least a month too late in starting it

Computer simulation by Doug Masters
Heading into
SPACE to look at Earth
laboratory in Sault Ste Marie conshyvinced her to look instead at an inshyfestation of the tent caterpillar Eventually they gave her a summer job at the lab and introduced her to Guelphs programs in the biological sciences
She later earned an MSc from the niversity of Western Ontario and a PhD from the University of Toronto before enrolling in medical school at McMaster University She was assistant professor of neurology in McMasters faculty of medicine when she heard a radio anshynouncement in July 1983 that Canada was planning to initiate an astronaut program
Acceptance into the astronaut program fulfilled a lifelong dream for Bondar but she acknowledges that few Canadians will be able to achieve the same dream
Canadas space program relies on launching facilities in other
countries so we dont need many astronauts she says Opportunities are much greater in the other wings of the space program
For years Canadian scientists have been acshytive in space science looking at upper atmosshyphere stars and other objects in the universe
We are world exshyperts in certain areas says Bondar We also have a fantastic reputashytion for building great communication satelshylites and for using other satellites for remote sensing (looking down on the Earth)
Canada will put up its own Earth observashytion satellite (Radarshysat) early in this
decade she says It will have radar facility to help us look through ice blocks and to invenshytory our wildlife and our forest stands
Bondar says Canada will also launch a mobile satellite comshymunications system that will help people in the North communicate with each other
Another wing focusing on space technology was responsible for the development of the Canadarm and is now working on robotics for a space station she says
Bondar has been in training for space flight since 1984 Her gruelshyling physical conditioning includes lifting weights to prepare for the extra 90 pounds of safety equipshyment that astronauts are now reshyquired to wear
A new launch escape suit was designed during NASAs safety review after the 1986 Challenger acshycident Bondar says NASA can not eliminate the potential danger of those first 2 12 minutes after liftoff but the new escape system will protect the astronauts if the orbiter is unable to make a runway landing
Despite the dangers Bondar says she feels as much trepidation about renting a car as she does about stepshyping into the shuttle Anytime you
25
have a p iece of enshygineering that you rely on other people for and your life depends on it its nerve- rackshying
To be part of the space program there arc certain dangers you have LO accept she says This is very risky business I11ese are pioneering days
Because of the high profile of the astronaut program a large part of Bondars job involshyves puhlic relations I think we astronauts have a responsibility to be very knowledgeable about the other parts of the space program and to pass on that knowledge to the general public
Always ttJJing to be efficient Roberta Bondar centre refused to study during her undergraduate _years at Guelph hecause going OVet-the same material taken in didnt make sense I had othet things 10 do But when a severe case ofmurnps kept her out Of classor several weeks she w(lSforred to learn how to study from textbooks ~iomethillg good comes outoevery negative exshyperience she says And that includes long-standing friendships with Elizabeth Waywell OAC MSc 70 left and retired professor Susan Corey right CO~I was my zoology professor and Way well was a graduate student in zoology who took me to her Gordon Stteel bome to recuperate says Bondar They rea~)I saved my year
communications has stood her in good stead she says Even as a student I had a real commitment that scienshytists should be able to communicate their ideas better
She encourages people - especially young people - to write for information posters photographs and lapel pins to the public relations branch of the Canadian Space Agency National Reshysearch Council of Canada Building M60 Montreal Road Ottawa KIA OR6
Space is uppermost in the minds of our young people because they can see it in their fu ture Bondar says

Sru~D offers masters degrees in both Canadian and internationshyal rural p lanning and developshyment works closely with more than a dozen academic units across campus and provides
C711Ofj13irtltJlfJ school has reached this LO-year milestone because ofthc commitshymem of faculty students and alumshyni who have worked in htrmony with rural communities and government both in Canada and around the world
And now its time to celebrate USRPD invites all alumni and
friends to join the schools faculty staff and students Sept 29 and 30 for a celebration of the pa t and a IGok to the future Douglas says the school wants to hear about the experiences of its alumni and colshylect their thoughts and suggesshytions on how USRPD can maintain its relevance to fural society
The weekend wi ll begin with a reception Saturday night and conshytinue Sunday with a lively de batt on issues and trends in rural planshyning and development and natural re30tlfCeS management
After a family lunch alumni will be treated to a light-hearted look backward to the schools beginshynings with Prof Doug Hoffman OAC 46 MSc 49 former direcshytor of the schools predecessor the Centre for Resources Developshyment The day will conclude with comments from alumni on their personal viewpOints and the chalshylenges theyve faced
USRPD is a U of G experiment that succeeded integrating the inshyterdiSciplinary Centre for Resourshyces Develop ment in to a unique professionalacademic program There are 15 accredited planning p rograms in Canada but this is the only one focusing on rural planshyning and development I11e school now has more than 100 alumni
professional development courses for those working in the field It is also home to the Universitys 10shyyear Sulawesi Regional Developshyment Project in Indonesia
The work of both faculty and students in the school is published broadly Last year USRPD produced a special edition ofPlan Canada the journal of the Canadian Institute of Planners on rural planning and development in Canada
Douglas says USRPD will conshytinue to respond to the changing and complex rural agenda shyworking toward sustainable comshymunity development and environshymental stewardship contributing to academic research and enhancshying the effectiveness of the planshyning profeSSion in Canada and in the international context

Angela Wingate veterinarian says Wingate She and her husbandJohn Whelan now operate Whelan Farms at Troy Ont where they train and race standardbreds Wingate also works at the Park Road Animal Hospital in Brantford
She is the second ofAndrew Smiths descendants to attend OVe His son King Smith earned a veterinary degree and taught courses at the coHege from 1897 until it moved to Guelph in 1922 The younger Smith then went on to medical
Sharing the honor
These things you are honoring me for were not done in isolation said Dr Kenneth Wells 38 on receiving the 1990 OVC Distinshyguished Alumnus award at Alumni Weekend I had the help of a very good team namely the veterinarians of
Canada many of whom are here today Wel1s did indeed work with many OVC colshy
leagues during his 19 years as veterinary directorshygeneral of Canada During his career he served 36 years with Agriculture Canadas Health of Animals Branch and is one of the few civil servants known personally by almost every prominent stock producer in the country
Andrew Smith
blacksmiths without any formal training Smith was both a veterinarian and an avid horseshyman He showed horsts unti l hI was well into his 70s says Wingate and he d ied in J9 10
Perhaps it was family tradition that brought Wingate to OVC after all
Dr Desmond Hill OVC 50 and his wife Margaret came all the way from North Yorkshire England to attend Alumni Weekend The camp us has changed he said bu t ove people are just asfriend~y as they were 40 years ago Hill is retired from the International Livestock Centre for Africa

Wildlife pathologist Ian Barker OVC 68 and MSc 70 has relieved public concern about insect-transmitted disease of potential danger to both dogs and humans
In Canada Lyme disease hysteria is far more comshymon than Lyme disease itself says Barker Canadians and their pets appear to be at very low risk of contractshying the disease he says
In an Ontario study the tick that carries the disease Ixodes dammini was found in nature at only one locashytion - Long Point on Lake Erie There is a greater risk in the coastal northeastern United States from Masshysachusetts to Delaware Minnesota Wisconsin and parts of the Pacific northwest
Lyme disease is readily treatable by antibiotics if diagshynosed early but its difficult to diagnose because it mimics other conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Bells Palsy People most prone to the disease are outdoor workers and outdoor enthusiasts
In the United States the disease has also been implishycated in arthritis and myocarditis in dogs arthritis and abortion in cattle and ophthalmic disease encephalitis and arthritis in horses
Researchers still have a lot to learn about the diagshy
~--nosis of the disease and the transmission biology of the tick says Barker The only distinctive clinical sign is a bulls-eye rash around the tick bite but only 50 to 60 per cent of infected persons develop the rash Blood tests may also be inconclusive
He is currently working on a study for Health and Welfare Canada to determine ways of preventing the disease in Canada and to gain a better understanding of the ticks biology Insect repellents long pants and shirts are the best preventive measures he says
28
S uper Match 90 sponsorship of the OVC Pet Tmst Fund is one way of showing the public that the college is serious about canine disease Passing on the knowledge gained through research is another
Over the summer pathology professor Owen Slocombe OVC 61 a specialist in parasitology has been interviewed several times about his research into heartworm - a debilitating mosquito-borne disease afshyfecting dogs
Although the disease is slowly moving northward from the United States most dogs in Canada are not at serious risk says Slocombe Heartworm is considered endemic around the cities of Montreal and Winnipeg and in lower southern Ontario along Lake Erie the Niagara region and Lake Ontario and north of Toronto around the Lake Simcoe Peterborough and Midland areas
Slocombes research at OVC is the first in the world to define the diseases transmission period He found the rate of worm development is linearly related to temperature ranging from 29 days at 18 C to only nine days at 30 C In Ontario for example the transmission period is June 1 to Oct 8
The worm initially develops in the skin and muscle and gradually moves into blood vessels asshysociated with the heart and lungs causing weakshyness and impaired breathing It can also cause
liver and kidney damage The condition is treatable but the treatment is both expensive and severe
Slocombe has monitored the disease annually since 1976 and says the prevalence in Canada has decreased because ofpreventive efforts by veterinarians One Onshytario survey found heartworm in 16 per cent of dogs not taking preventive medicine compared with one per cent in dogs that were

Because of the high profile of the astronaut program a large part of Bondars job involshyves puhlic relations I think we astronauts have a responsibility to be very knowledgeable about the other parts of the space program and to pass on that knowledge to the general public

Sharing the honor
These things you are honoring me for were not done in isolation said Dr Kenneth Wells 38 on receiving the 1990 OVC Distinshyguished Alumnus award at Alumni Weekend I had the help of a very good team namely the veterinarians of
Canada many of whom are here today Wel1s did indeed work with many OVC colshy
leagues during his 19 years as veterinary directorshygeneral of Canada During his career he served 36 years with Agriculture Canadas Health of Animals Branch and is one of the few civil servants known personally by almost every prominent stock producer in the country
Andrew Smith

Wildlife pathologist Ian Barker OVC 68 and MSc 70 has relieved public concern about insect-transmitted disease of potential danger to both dogs and humans
In Canada Lyme disease hysteria is far more comshymon than Lyme disease itself says Barker Canadians and their pets appear to be at very low risk of contractshying the disease he says
In an Ontario study the tick that carries the disease Ixodes dammini was found in nature at only one locashytion - Long Point on Lake Erie There is a greater risk in the coastal northeastern United States from Masshysachusetts to Delaware Minnesota Wisconsin and parts of the Pacific northwest
Lyme disease is readily treatable by antibiotics if diagshynosed early but its difficult to diagnose because it mimics other conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Bells Palsy People most prone to the disease are outdoor workers and outdoor enthusiasts
In the United States the disease has also been implishycated in arthritis and myocarditis in dogs arthritis and abortion in cattle and ophthalmic disease encephalitis and arthritis in horses
Researchers still have a lot to learn about the diagshy
~--nosis of the disease and the transmission biology of the tick says Barker The only distinctive clinical sign is a bulls-eye rash around the tick bite but only 50 to 60 per cent of infected persons develop the rash Blood tests may also be inconclusive
He is currently working on a study for Health and Welfare Canada to determine ways of preventing the disease in Canada and to gain a better understanding of the ticks biology Insect repellents long pants and shirts are the best preventive measures he says
28
S uper Match 90 sponsorship of the OVC Pet Tmst Fund is one way of showing the public that the college is serious about canine disease Passing on the knowledge gained through research is another
Over the summer pathology professor Owen Slocombe OVC 61 a specialist in parasitology has been interviewed several times about his research into heartworm - a debilitating mosquito-borne disease afshyfecting dogs
Although the disease is slowly moving northward from the United States most dogs in Canada are not at serious risk says Slocombe Heartworm is considered endemic around the cities of Montreal and Winnipeg and in lower southern Ontario along Lake Erie the Niagara region and Lake Ontario and north of Toronto around the Lake Simcoe Peterborough and Midland areas
Slocombes research at OVC is the first in the world to define the diseases transmission period He found the rate of worm development is linearly related to temperature ranging from 29 days at 18 C to only nine days at 30 C In Ontario for example the transmission period is June 1 to Oct 8
The worm initially develops in the skin and muscle and gradually moves into blood vessels asshysociated with the heart and lungs causing weakshyness and impaired breathing It can also cause
liver and kidney damage The condition is treatable but the treatment is both expensive and severe
Slocombe has monitored the disease annually since 1976 and says the prevalence in Canada has decreased because ofpreventive efforts by veterinarians One Onshytario survey found heartworm in 16 per cent of dogs not taking preventive medicine compared with one per cent in dogs that were

granddaughter of oves founder matologist Angela Wingate OVC 90 says it A Scottish-born veterinarian was horses - not family tradition Andrew Smith founded OVC in - that made her want to be a 1862 at a time when the horse veterinarian was the bulwark of the economy

Angela Wingate veterinarian says Wingate She and her husbandJohn Whelan now operate Whelan Farms at Troy Ont where they train and race standardbreds Wingate also works at the Park Road Animal Hospital in Brantford
She is the second ofAndrew Smiths descendants to attend OVe His son King Smith earned a veterinary degree and taught courses at the coHege from 1897 until it moved to Guelph in 1922 The younger Smith then went on to medical
Sharing the honor
These things you are honoring me for were not done in isolation said Dr Kenneth Wells 38 on receiving the 1990 OVC Distinshyguished Alumnus award at Alumni Weekend I had the help of a very good team namely the veterinarians of
Canada many of whom are here today Wel1s did indeed work with many OVC colshy
leagues during his 19 years as veterinary directorshygeneral of Canada During his career he served 36 years with Agriculture Canadas Health of Animals Branch and is one of the few civil servants known personally by almost every prominent stock producer in the country
Andrew Smith
blacksmiths without any formal training Smith was both a veterinarian and an avid horseshyman He showed horsts unti l hI was well into his 70s says Wingate and he d ied in J9 10
Perhaps it was family tradition that brought Wingate to OVC after all
Dr Desmond Hill OVC 50 and his wife Margaret came all the way from North Yorkshire England to attend Alumni Weekend The camp us has changed he said bu t ove people are just asfriend~y as they were 40 years ago Hill is retired from the International Livestock Centre for Africa

Wildlife pathologist Ian Barker OVC 68 and MSc 70 has relieved public concern about insect-transmitted disease of potential danger to both dogs and humans
In Canada Lyme disease hysteria is far more comshymon than Lyme disease itself says Barker Canadians and their pets appear to be at very low risk of contractshying the disease he says
In an Ontario study the tick that carries the disease Ixodes dammini was found in nature at only one locashytion - Long Point on Lake Erie There is a greater risk in the coastal northeastern United States from Masshysachusetts to Delaware Minnesota Wisconsin and parts of the Pacific northwest
Lyme disease is readily treatable by antibiotics if diagshynosed early but its difficult to diagnose because it mimics other conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Bells Palsy People most prone to the disease are outdoor workers and outdoor enthusiasts
In the United States the disease has also been implishycated in arthritis and myocarditis in dogs arthritis and abortion in cattle and ophthalmic disease encephalitis and arthritis in horses
Researchers still have a lot to learn about the diagshy
~--nosis of the disease and the transmission biology of the tick says Barker The only distinctive clinical sign is a bulls-eye rash around the tick bite but only 50 to 60 per cent of infected persons develop the rash Blood tests may also be inconclusive
He is currently working on a study for Health and Welfare Canada to determine ways of preventing the disease in Canada and to gain a better understanding of the ticks biology Insect repellents long pants and shirts are the best preventive measures he says
28
S uper Match 90 sponsorship of the OVC Pet Tmst Fund is one way of showing the public that the college is serious about canine disease Passing on the knowledge gained through research is another
Over the summer pathology professor Owen Slocombe OVC 61 a specialist in parasitology has been interviewed several times about his research into heartworm - a debilitating mosquito-borne disease afshyfecting dogs
Although the disease is slowly moving northward from the United States most dogs in Canada are not at serious risk says Slocombe Heartworm is considered endemic around the cities of Montreal and Winnipeg and in lower southern Ontario along Lake Erie the Niagara region and Lake Ontario and north of Toronto around the Lake Simcoe Peterborough and Midland areas
Slocombes research at OVC is the first in the world to define the diseases transmission period He found the rate of worm development is linearly related to temperature ranging from 29 days at 18 C to only nine days at 30 C In Ontario for example the transmission period is June 1 to Oct 8
The worm initially develops in the skin and muscle and gradually moves into blood vessels asshysociated with the heart and lungs causing weakshyness and impaired breathing It can also cause
liver and kidney damage The condition is treatable but the treatment is both expensive and severe
Slocombe has monitored the disease annually since 1976 and says the prevalence in Canada has decreased because ofpreventive efforts by veterinarians One Onshytario survey found heartworm in 16 per cent of dogs not taking preventive medicine compared with one per cent in dogs that were

Wildlife pathologist Ian Barker OVC 68 and MSc 70 has relieved public concern about insect-transmitted disease of potential danger to both dogs and humans
In Canada Lyme disease hysteria is far more comshymon than Lyme disease itself says Barker Canadians and their pets appear to be at very low risk of contractshying the disease he says
In an Ontario study the tick that carries the disease Ixodes dammini was found in nature at only one locashytion - Long Point on Lake Erie There is a greater risk in the coastal northeastern United States from Masshysachusetts to Delaware Minnesota Wisconsin and parts of the Pacific northwest
Lyme disease is readily treatable by antibiotics if diagshynosed early but its difficult to diagnose because it mimics other conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and Bells Palsy People most prone to the disease are outdoor workers and outdoor enthusiasts
In the United States the disease has also been implishycated in arthritis and myocarditis in dogs arthritis and abortion in cattle and ophthalmic disease encephalitis and arthritis in horses
Researchers still have a lot to learn about the diagshy
~--nosis of the disease and the transmission biology of the tick says Barker The only distinctive clinical sign is a bulls-eye rash around the tick bite but only 50 to 60 per cent of infected persons develop the rash Blood tests may also be inconclusive
He is currently working on a study for Health and Welfare Canada to determine ways of preventing the disease in Canada and to gain a better understanding of the ticks biology Insect repellents long pants and shirts are the best preventive measures he says
28
S uper Match 90 sponsorship of the OVC Pet Tmst Fund is one way of showing the public that the college is serious about canine disease Passing on the knowledge gained through research is another
Over the summer pathology professor Owen Slocombe OVC 61 a specialist in parasitology has been interviewed several times about his research into heartworm - a debilitating mosquito-borne disease afshyfecting dogs
Although the disease is slowly moving northward from the United States most dogs in Canada are not at serious risk says Slocombe Heartworm is considered endemic around the cities of Montreal and Winnipeg and in lower southern Ontario along Lake Erie the Niagara region and Lake Ontario and north of Toronto around the Lake Simcoe Peterborough and Midland areas
Slocombes research at OVC is the first in the world to define the diseases transmission period He found the rate of worm development is linearly related to temperature ranging from 29 days at 18 C to only nine days at 30 C In Ontario for example the transmission period is June 1 to Oct 8
The worm initially develops in the skin and muscle and gradually moves into blood vessels asshysociated with the heart and lungs causing weakshyness and impaired breathing It can also cause
liver and kidney damage The condition is treatable but the treatment is both expensive and severe
Slocombe has monitored the disease annually since 1976 and says the prevalence in Canada has decreased because ofpreventive efforts by veterinarians One Onshytario survey found heartworm in 16 per cent of dogs not taking preventive medicine compared with one per cent in dogs that were
