NEW RECORD SET FOR ANNUAL GIVING
It is my pleasure to announce that the Alma Mater Fund (AMF) has seta new record for annual giving in 1986 exceeding its target of 5700000 by six and one halfper cent for a total of 574901 3 On behalf of the AMF AdviSOry Council I congratulate the 3631 graduates and the 789 friends faculty staff corporations and foundations who have made the 1986 campaign such a resounding success
Almost 75 per cent of all annual gifts in 1986 were designated to specific niversity projects For this reason despite our fine record some projects approved for funding by the AMF Advisory Council did not receive anticipated support There were also insufficient non designated gifts to allow the Council the option of making up the shortfaJl
Let me explain The AMF AdviSOry Council is made up of representatives from the Boards of Directors of the seven College A1umnj Associations the OAC Alumni Foundation and the University of Guelph Alu mn i Association Each fall the council receives and examines projects put forward by the
Gordon LE Nbcon OAC 37
Colleges which their sponsors believe merit financial support from alumni
Because of the lack of sufficient support for some projects and of sufficient non deSignated gifts the AMP Advisory Council had to reduce grants for several projects this year These were most difficult decisions An ad hoc committee of the AMF Advisory Council was set up to study the whole problem and to suggest ways to overcome it The results of their deliberations will be reported in a future issue of the Guelph Alumnus
It is also the responsibility of the
AMF Advisory Council to ensure all wishes attached to gifts are carried out To tlus end a report is required from each reCipient offunds detailing how the funds were used These are carefu lly reviewed by the AMF Advisory Council thereby ensuring the integrity ofthe annual campaign
On your behalf if I may I would like to thank my colleagues on the AMF Advisory Council for their time and effort toward the success of our annual campaign in support ofGuelph
On their behalf I would Like to express appreciation to each of you who has contributed to the 1986 campaign the most successful in the history of annual alumni support to the University I look forward to your continued support in 1987 Such support assures the achievement of excellence that is a tradHion at the University of Guelph
Cordially
Gordon LE Nixon OAC 37 Chairman AMF Advisory Council
ADVISORY COUNCil RECOGNIZED The Alma Mater Fund Advisory Council is responsible for establishing and amending the Alma Mater Fund Poliq Guidelines approving the alloshycation of the Funds proceeds and selecting new Fund projects It comshyprises two alumni appointed by each College Alumni Association for a two or three year term All members welcome your advice and recommenshydations The work of the Council demands commitment and dedication and it is with gratitude that the University recognizes the efforts of the council in 1986

KEN MURRAY GIVING SOMETHING BACK TO THE UNIVERSITY
By Sandra Couch Public Relations and Information
The University of Guelphs capital campaign is an excellent opportunity for graduates to give something back to the institution which has given them so much says Ken Murray OAC 50 co-chairman of the Regional and chairman of the Associations comshymittees for The Campaign In recent years Ken has served as a member and chairman of the Board of Govershynors He was named a fellow of the University in 1983
Ken who is a corporate director of Kitchener-based JM Schneider Inc is channelling some of his time and co nsiderable ene rgies in to The Campaign in appreciation for what Guelph has given him
I have a great affinity for this campus he says One of the reasons I am involved in this campaign is to help keep the University relevant and vibrant Were educating students here for the next century
He believes alurrmi should get inshyvolved Indeed Ken believes any person who is a graduate of Guelph should get out and work for the University You cannot assume that other people are going to do all the work
Ken lauds the efforts of volunteers both on and off campus recognizing that without them The Campaign would not succeed His contagiOUS enthusiasm has earned him a reputashytion as a super-volunteer with staff in the Department of Alumni Affairs and Development The regional comshymittee co-chaired by Ken will be directly involved in raising an esti shymated $55 million for The Campaign from regional businesses and associashytions such as the Womens Institute livestock breed associations and agrishycultural products marketing boards The regional committee currently 28 strong and grOwing will approach some 200 southern Ontario businesses before The Campaign is finished
As Chairman of the Board of Governors a decade ago Ken believed
Super-volunteer Ken MunClY OAC 50 that a capital campaign was needed at Guelph He was a mcmber of the Campaign Advisory Council which was instrumental in doi ng the groundwork before The Canlpaign went public last September I want to be involved 1 want to raise the profile of this University in the busi shyness community he says The ni shyversity of Guelph has made an excellent start to this campaign of the 16 regional corporations Ken has approached so far only one could not give at this time
With Marilyn Robinson Mac 55of Alumni Affairs and Development Ken plans to approach virtually every trade
association and marketing board re shylated to agriculture The response to date has been very positive says Marilyn who adds that at one proshyducer organization more than halfof the members had some connection with the University of Guelph
Ken is very vocal in his belief that Guelph graduates should get involved in The Campaign by making a financial contribution and if possible by volunteering their time (0 help out This University has given us a great deal We owe something in reulrn
HALFWAY THERE
Seven months after the launch ofits five -year capital campaign the nivcrsity was almost halfshyway toward its 86o million goal As f March 31 contributions to The Campaign tota ll ed $29971 022
Im delighted we have reached this milestone ahead of schedule says Marjorie Millar director Alumni Affairs and Development Now that the momentum is there she says we ve got to keep it going we need the support of alumni as we continue to stretch for the next milestone

ENGLISH INSTRUCTION SUPERIOR IN CANADA
Dear Editor I have taught Human Anatomy and
Physiology for 24 years ( Deparlment ofBiological Sciences State University of New York College of Arts and Science at Plattsburgh New York) and last falL semester in addition to this subject I was asked to teach a new departmental offering Comshymunicating Biology
Because college undergraduates including graduating seniors for the most part write poorly particularly in their major our cOllege has decided to do something about this national problem we have instituted a college-wide rccruitment that all juniors must take the writing course now he ing offered within their rcspective majors
( was asked to teach this course on the basis of my writing abili ties as perceived by the biology faculty of this college Whatever strengths I have in this area they evolved prishymarilyas a result of my extensive preshycollege and college instruction in English composition and English literature in Ontario schooLs
I first recognized the advantages of tIns education in graduate schools in
the United States and subsequently I have become even more appreciative of this exten ive training as a faculty member involved in the preparation of grant proposals and research publications for the past 26 years
Unless there have been changes of which I anl unaware most certainly the instruction in English composition
and literature from both quantitative and qualitative aspects at all levels in Canadian schools is far superior to what is available across the border I hope some day we will close the gap

PRESIDENTS SCHOLARSHIPS EMPHASIZE LEADERSHIP
The Presidents Scholarships the Universitys most prestigious undershygraduate awards are designed to attract the cream of Canadian young people to Guelph
The 10 annual awards worth $16000 each over the course of an eight -semester honors degree will go to students with exceptional leadership qualities as well as acashydemic ability President Burt Matthews describes the prospective winners as people who will be leaders in society
The selection criteria are similar to those for the Winegard Medal One of the early medalists Christine Zink OVC 78 points to the importance of
the qualities Guelph is seeking in its students
it is very important that candishydates demonstrate a balance in their interests and activities When I was teaching at ove I came to know students who achieved AU averages by studying to the exclusion of all other activities These people did not contribute to the lives of others nor did such one-sided lives really benefit them After graduation job opporshytunities are gained and lost on the basis of ones ability to communicate with others Induding leadership skills and sportsmanship in the criteria for awards such as the Winegard Medal
and the Presidents Scholarships emphasizes the importance of leading a balanced life
Dr Zink is now doing post-doctoral research at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore studying viruses that cause diseases similar to AIDS in sheep and goats
The ftrst PresidentS Scholarship winners will he announced in June Before then nominees will be invited to visit campus and meet faculty in their areas of interest The winners wiU be honored at a lunch given by President Matthews in September Nominations made by school prinshycipals dosed April I

ARTS GRAD WINS KUDOS FOR STAGE PERFORMANCE
It took three years for Janet Land Arts 80 to make up her mind that she really wanted to be a professional actress After graduation from the University of Guelph she dabbled in amateur theatre and earned her Bachelor ofEducation at the University ofOttawa before taking the plunge and moving to Toronto to establish herself on the stage and in film
Now w i th four years on the professhysional circuit to her credit Janets career decision is paying off In March she finished touring to good reviews in the powerful drama Firedeveloped at Thunder Bays Magnus Theatre and co-produced by the National Arts Centre Theatre Company of Ottawa the Centaur Theatre Company of Montreal and the Citadel Theatre of Edmonton
Written by Paul Ledoux and David Young Fire is based very loosely on the life of musician Jerry Lee Lewis and his evangelist cousin J immy Swaggart It explores the conflict between the power of religion and the electric excitement of rock and roll
Janets role in Fire was Molly who is modelled very 100 ely on the 13shyyear-old cousin Lewis married
Shes a wonderful character who goes from tbe age of 13 to 35 says Janet She is caught between two men one a rock and roller the other a fimdanlentalist preacher
OfJanets performance the Globe and Mail wrote Janet Land is a capable actress who has a special knack for projecting what may be called intelligent sweetness And Molly is the only female role in the show a role that calls for a range from a 13 year olds naivete to the chastened near bitterness of early middle age Land is in a sense playing several different people and the character is more complex than might be imagined at first
Macleans wrote As MolJy King Land effortlessly porlrays the transformation from bubbly teenager to trim matron
With such reviews Janets name is becoming better know but it has
janet Land Arts 80
been an uphill clinlb During her first year as an actress when not many roles were coming her way she had to supplement her income by supply teaching and working part-time at Blacks Cameras Her first professional production was The Fantastiks at Leah Posluns Theatre in Toronto Although she played the lead ofLouisa in this musical it was a non-equity role Then she appeared in two Blyth Festival productions the comedy Cakewalk by Colleen Curran and the mystery A Spider in the House by Brian Tremblay Next she was invited to do a musical version of Scrooge at Theatre New Brunswick With these three professional productions she earned her Actors Equity card and is grateful to Blyth for giving her that opportunity
Janet has appeared in vMious teleshyvision commercials and had a small role in the CBC production Charlie Grants War For three months last summer she had fun playing Sister Mary Amnesia in Toronto Workshop Productions Nunsense and she also had a chance to workshop a new Canadian play called Little Miss Easter Seals an autobiography about polio victim Lina Chartrand The play was workshopped at Le Theatre du Petit Bonheur the only French theatre in Toronto Janets major at Guelph was French ( drama was her minor) and she is biligual
It was wonderful to work in
French I hope I get to do more plays in that language The French people are very passionate she says
Janet appeared in three Department ofDranla productions while attending Guelph - Chamber Music in 1977 The journey of the Fifth Horse in 1978 and The Miser in 1979 When she thinks of her training at Guelph she thinks of her drama professor Harry Lane who guided her through two of those productions
The highlight of my week used to be Monday morning dranu classes Wed start with coffee and those deli shycious Danishes from Massey Hall and then wed run through our exercises r learned not only about acting but the behind-the-scenes work like lighting and costumes as well Im grateful for that she recalls
Janet doesnt regret her decision to pursue an acting career She finds it very fulfilling She is even getting used to the insecurity ofnot knowing where the next rolc is coming from She didnt have any work lined up after Fire but was certain something would tum up
Something always does she added with the self-assuredness ofUl actress who is starting to be noticed

Etta (Birdsall) Gamham Mac 17D will celebrate her 96th birthday this summer and still maintains a keen interest in the College she graduated from many years ago
She attended Macdonald Institute from 191 5-17 receiving her diploma in ProfessionaJ Housekeeping When she moved into Maple Manor Nursing Home in Tillsonburg two years ago that diploma was one of the things she wanted to take with her says Marlene ( Pfaff) Oatman FACS 75 MA 78 Etta is Marlenes husbands great aunt Marlene teaches in the Departments of Family Studies and So iology and Anthropology and says Aunt Etta wants to know everything I cover in my courses If she doesnt quite understand she gets a book from the library and will quiz me the next time I see her based on what she has read
Etta reads the Guelph Alumnus to keep up with what is happening at the University As well as changes in courses she likes to know about changes in buildings on campus When she was a student she lived in Macdonald Hall
Etta was more adventurous than other young women of her day Born in South Middleton Township in lS91 she attended school at SS 13 in Middleton and Tillsonburg High School until 1905 She graduated from London Normal School in 1909 and at the age of IS undertook her first teaching position at SS 1 Middleton with 49 students in Grades l-S under her sole supervision She continued teaching until 1915 when she decided to return to school to study domestic science at Guelph
After graduating she amwered an advertisement in the newspaper and headed West to take a job as dietitian and housekeeper in a 200-be d teaching hospital in Regina
I never worked so hard in my life Etta says of her year at the hospital Although she enjoyed the work When the year was up I was tired out she says So she accepted a teaching position at a prairie school at Tuxford Sask She taught there
Etta (Birdsall) Gamham Mac 17D
until the flu epidemic in 1918 closed all the schools She then turned her attention to nursing the sick until she got the flu herself
She can still remember being bedshyridden at the home of a farm family when she heard the news on Novemshy
ber 11 1915 thatthe First World War had ended
Etta returned home in 1919 to teach first in St Catharines then at Mabees Corners and finally at Guysboro where she met her husband Lee the eligible young farmer who lived across the road from the school They were married in July of 1921 and enjoyed 62 years together before his death four years ago
She continued teaching afte r marriage but only when she was needed she says because farm work kept her busy then
Ive had a lovely life Etta says And although she is now confined to a wheelchair she says shes been as healthy as can be all my life
Asked if there is any secret to her longevity she quickly responds choose your grandfather wisely because you inherit your health She points out her own father lived to be 99 and her grandmother lived to be 100

MILESTONE CE EBRATION FOR OVC
With a flourish of kilts and bagshypipes OVC began celebrating its 125th birthday February 12 The COllege is the oldest veterinary school in continuous operation in North and South America
A special lecture by eminent Scotshytish scientist Dr WilJiam FH Jarrett whose work pioneered AIDS research commemorated the founding of the College and the unique contributions of the veterinary medical profession in the advancement of scientific knowledge and disease control
Dr Jarrett of the University of Glasgow Veterinary School gave a public lecture Vacdnation Against Retroviruses From FAIDS to AIDS His work on Feline Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (FAIDS) has been the basis for subsequent research into AIDS
Dr jarretts lecture took place in War Memorial Hall exactly 125 years after OVCs inaugural address was delivered in Toronto by another Scotsman founder Andrew Smith
Dr Smi th a graduate of the Edinburgh School of Veterinary Medicine was brought to Toronto by the Board of Agriculture of Upper Canada to open a veterinary practice and provide instruction He operated the school under private charter in Toronto until 1908 when it became aftlliated with the University of Toronto nle College moved to Guelph in 1922 becoming a coshyoperative neighbor for the OAC The two later joined with Macdonald Institute to become the founding Colleges of the University of Guelph in 1964
Since the issue of Dr Smiths charshyter the College has contributed substantially to the improvement of public health says OVC Dean Ole Nielsen College faculty were instrushymenta] in the development of milkshytesting programs for mastitis and were involved in the livestock vaccination and testing programs that led to the elimination of tuberculosis and brucellosis in humans and animals
In keeping with the Scottish theme Dr Dean Percy ave 57 MSc 66 a professor in the Department OfPathology piped Dr William PH Jarrett into War Memorial Hall for his special lecture February 12 Also in the procession were President Burt Matthews ave Dean Ole Nielsen specially invited ave retirees andplatform guests (Photo by Tim Sullivan)
They were pioneers in domestic ani shymal surgery and among the first veterinarians to adopt modem surgical techniques Faculty researchers also perfected techniques for the artificial insemination ofdairy cattle and swine and for freezing bull semen
Researdl efforts have continually expanded in areas of comparative medicine where human and vetershyinary medicine cross paths The College is now at the forefront of research on organ transplants and bone surgery and research is proshyceeding in other areas of potential benefit to human medicine including genetically engineered vaccines and cancer research
Each year thousands ofanimals are brought to the ColJege for study and treatment The 2000 patients treated at the large animal clinic last year included an elephant a kangaroo and a gnu Almost 8000 animals visited the small animal clinic and more than 16000 farm animals - mostly cattle
- were seen in the ambulatory clinics herd health program The Colleges wild bird clinic is the only one of its kind in Canada
OVCs department of patholOgy is the Norlh American centre for reshysearch on marine animals and the Canadian centre for diagnostic expershytise in fish pathology The College is closely affiliated with the new Guelph Centre for Equine Research
OVCs influence on the intershynational scene has been substantial Students comefrom around the world (0 study at the undergraduate gradshyuate and post-graduate levels In 1974 the College joined the Canadian international Development Agency in establishing a veterinary school in Malaysia the first in southeast Asia
Celebrations for OVCs 125th birthday will continue throughout the year A highlight onJune 19 is the official opening of the Colleges new Sl35-million large animal faCility

PROGRAM AIMS TO ATTRACT BRIGHTEST STUDENTS
By Sandra Couch Public Relations and Information
The Universitys share of the best and brightest first-year students in the physical sciences could well increase with the introduction of a challenging interdisciplinary one-year pilot project called MPC2 (for Mathematics-Physics-Chemistry-Comshyputing Science ) says Professor Ernie McFarland Physics
Professor McFarland chairman of the CPS interdiSciplinary curriculum committee says the basic introductory courses now in place were designed to serve all tbe students in classes that often reach 300 in size Very bright students the committee found were not as stimulated as they could have been
With the courses as they werewe were not attracting the quantity or quality of students we hoped in areas like physics chemistry and bioshychemistry mathematiCs statistics and computing science says Professor McFarland
The committee has designed a number of new first-year courses which require a minimum average of 80 per cent for admission The courses will combine mathematics physics chemistry and computing and are structured to foster a better appreshyciation of the inter-connections between the disCiplines says Professor McFarland The more challenging courses will also enable bright highly qualified and motivated students to choose one or two additional elective courses in their first year
Professor McFarland admits the project is a departure from the usual departmental philosophy and says the one-year trial period will allow CPS to crawl before we walk He says a successful evaluation at the end of the trial period could lead to possible joint degrees in the areas of physics and chemistry or mathematics and computing
It could well be the first stage for a number of other interdisciplinary ventures in the College beyond the
first -year level says Professor Mcfarland
Acting CPS Dean Rod Gentry says the new intensive program will likely attrlct more of the best students to Guelph because in the sciences the best stude nts are very selective consumers Theyre looking for the best program while theyre still in high school
Former CPS Dean now Vice-President AcademicjackMacDonald conceived MPCZ because he believed that the way physical sciences were
being taught was historical and antiquated He says the departmental divisions in universities are almost tribal in nature and often lead to an arbitrary and artificial division of subject matter
Professor MacDonald says MPCZ which will be offered for the first time in September is consistent with the Universitys aims and objectives and is also consistent with the learning objectives in that it takes a holistic viewpoint in the teaching and learning of the material
GLASSBLOWE RHONORED Unive rSity glassblower Anne Hostetter has been honored by the American Scientific Glassblowers Society (ASGS) in Cincinnati Ohio for her paper Quartz EPR Flat Cel The Fischer and Porter Company of Pennsylvania offers the annual Kermit-Fischer Award in recognition of the best paper presented at the previous years symposium
The paper is selected by a jury from the ASGS on the basis of content app li cat ion presentat ion style graphics use and text
A quartz EPR flat cell is a difficult piece of glassware to make Ms Hostetter says but it is useful in EPR spectroscopy because it allows the 5anlple to be pOSitioned in the densest part of the magnetic field without interfe rence from the electric component of the rad iation
Ms Hostetter has used the techshynique described in her paper sucshycessfully for eight to nine years She forms the flat sides of the cell from two pieces of quartz glass with bevelled edges When spaced proshyperly the bevelled glass forms a V into which a length ofquartz piping is fitted and melted to seal the edges The standard spacing between the two pieces of flat glass is 25 mm
although she has made cells as small as 12 mm and as large as I mm
A 25-minute educaHonal videotape about the technique described in Ms Hostetters paper is available through the ASGS

WOMEN IN SCIENCE GATHER
About 80 women gathered on campus in February to hear Dr Lynda Pinnington talk about career planning forwomen in science Dr Pinnjngton beads Pinn ington Associates of Cambridge a consulting firm that focuses on applied productivity improvement techniques for business and industry Discussants for the careers night were Brenda Bonnett OVC 79 a PhD sludent in the Department of Veterinary Micro shybiology and Immunology and Jan Kaufman Library who is on the Preshysidents Advisory Council day care task force
This was the second event planned by an informal group of women scienshytists at Guelph Professors Susan Mclver chair of the Department of Enviro nmenta l Bio logy Mary Beverley-Burton Zoology and Janet Wood Chemistry and Biochemistry have been the moving forces behind this organization which has blosshysomed into a nucleus of about a dozen women representing aU the science colleges at Guelph They say the groups purpose is to increase awareness of the role of women in science and the opportunities and obstacles they may encounter The group also encourages informal netshyworking and social contacts
Weve avoided creating a formal structure Professor McIver says Meetings are held on an irregular basis and there are no official officers
In addition to offering careers nights the group has compiled a list of women in science at Guelph using the criteria ofa degree in science and employment at the University
Questions raised by the group re shysulted in the updating of the 1975 report of the Presidents Task Force on the status of women at the ni shyversity which led to the formation of the Presidents Advisory Committee on Equal Rights for Men and Women at the University of Guelph This committee chaired by Professor McIver will release a report this spring

FORSTER FELLOWSHIPS AWARDED The 1987 Forster Fellowships have been awarded to two CBS faculty members
Professor Terry Beveridge Depart shyment of Microbiology will use the fellowship to help develop new techshyni ques to study bacter ial ultra shystmcture and to travel to Europe in June to work with Professor we Sleytr in Vienna Austria and Professor Edward Ke llenberger in Basel Switzerland Professor Sleytrs area of expertise is ultrastructure of bacteria I surfaces and Professor Kellenbergers is new techniques in electron micro shyscopy
Professor Terry Graham School of
Human Biology will use the fcllowship to continue his study of human muscle metabolism and its response to cold stress and exercise This month he travels to Copenhagen to work with three researchers at the August Krogh Institute - Dr Bengt Saltin a spe shycialist in cardiovascular and muscle physiology Dr Bodil Nielsen who works in themlo-regulation and Dr Erik Richter a specialist in carbo shyhydrate metabolism

OAC GRADUATE WRITES FROM MOZAMBIQUE
Ruth Beilin born and raised in Guelph graduated jromjohn F Ross C VI and earned a BA and a Dipshyloma in Agriculture She worked at the University and in Saskatchewan before going to Papua New Guinea with CUSO as an agricultural extension worker There she met her husband an Australian lawyer who was working in rural development After two years in New Guinea she attended Reading University in England and received an MSc in Agriculture Extension She joinedher husband in Australia and together they apPlied to work on anAustralian government project in Mozambique This is the first ofher letters (written in the summer Of 1986) on life and development in that war-torn country Ruth can be contacted at the follOwing address CAA cP 356 Maputo Mozambique
Life in Mozambique is a series of contrasts and challenges The area where we live is a fertile coastal strip that has been cultivated for at least 50 years - some parts longer Coconut palms wave in the breeze - their languid trunks arching over the dense foliage of the cashew trees planted between their rows The latifundia system practised by the Portuguese meant that as a rule local families had less than two hectares each of usually marginal land to farm for subsistence purposltS and that generally they could not grow permanent tree crops on these family spaces Therefore the wealth from these crops remained with the colonial farmers
Today the state is just beginning a large land reform program What it will mean in real terms is difficult to assess given the huge numbers of dislocated families from the interior dry areas and more desperate war zones The theory is that these families will be able to return to their own farm lands and accumulate more land there assuming that the war and
Ruth Beilin OAC 74
these years of drought and fanline will soon be over
The Mozambicans survive on their abilities as farmers The suffering and deprivation have made them strong conservationists sensitive to their crops and soils But some of the obstacles they face are overwhelming - broken (Ools scarce seed loss of animals Everything is a struggle
Village meetings are stimulating and full of lengthy debate Storyshytelling animation dancing and singing form an important part of the culture The present govenunent has used these means (0 awaken a political consciousness among the people who tend to be passive and accept their circumstances
Our group is not radical but we are different and perhaps threatening to this passivity Mozambicans are tired from hard work long years of fighting a declining economy and many reorganizations of agricultural policy We talk about self-sufficiency (which translated means more work) We talk about development but in agricultural terms offer no pesticides (except naturally occuring ones) import no tractors or cultivators and generally seem to be less modern than the Portuguese who left ten years ago We are not just talking
about rehabilitation but a whole developmental philosophy which is distinct from the projects of other development agencies in nearby districts Although the communities we work in agree that the long-term benefits are valid they must wonder when life is going to become easier
Through all this nms the struggle in southern Africa - the link between the apartheid regime in South Africa and the war in Mozanlbique and indeed in aU the frontline states This war destabilizes the countryside and terrorizes the people rfhe longer we live here and witness this nightmare the more we realize that the end of the war will not be because of things or people in Mozambique This is a war supported by the foreign policies of the West Countries that continue to support South Africa give strength to the South African economy strength that is translated into soldiers anlIDunition supplies and support for the bandidosannados - the armed bandits fighting FREUMO the legal Mozambican govenunent
I could weep when President Reagan says the American support for Jonas Savimbi against the Angolan government and Americas refusal to impose sanctions on South Africa maintains the balance of power between East and West He should stand on the ground where the price is being paid and teU the mourning villagers the dying and the maimed that the world is a better place for this carnage and that the chess games ofthe big men are the real value of human life
Many other countries play sinillar ifsmaller or less direct roles with the future ofsouthern Africa The tragedy of this land is the riches and vast potent ial which attract olltside interest and cost it dearly in ternlS of human resources
James and I first heard about the Rural Development Project in August 1984 when we were working for Community Aid Abroad (CAA) in
24
Australia At that time there was optimism about Mozambique The Nkomati Peace Accord was to end South Mrkas support for the bandits in exchange for diminished support from Mozambique for the African National Congress The project was to be an integrated rural development scheme in health water and agrishyculture
But the war has not ended and it is a constant stumbling block to all aspirations and plans not to mention wearing on ones spirit Still that potential and challenge are alluring and we plod on down the developshyment road trying to build up organization and infrastructure Waiting for the day when things may normalize (After 10 years of war what is normal)
We arrived in Mozambique in April 1985 with James as project director and me as agriculturalist The health team ( a midwife and doctor ) and the community development worker arrived in late August and the water engineer in January 1986 The six of us live on the project site in a nleal district centre The official language is Portuguese and our official work is in that language However the people generally speak their own languages and so communication below the official level continues to be difficult Still they are very patient with our attempts to communicate and live in their communities
My own work is starting to become more visible Three agricultural technicians and I have organized a program of support for the fdmily sector in agriculture This is largely an education extension system that operates on three levels The first level consists of training zone representatives in practical demonshystrations ofagricultural techniques in their home area ( each zone has roughly 60 families and is represented by one man and woman chosen by their community) The zone reps are linked in training sessions and in countryside visits to the second level - an enquadradore who is basically the official link to the district agricultural system There are only five functioning enquadradores in a district of 110000 or more people so we had pound0 create the agricultural reps to make the enquadradores task possible The training program for the enquadradores is critically important because they have no agriculturaJ background but must collect and transmit agricultural information The third level is the agricultural technicians themselves These young counterparts are likely to be the directors and administrators of the future They are also the direct teaching link to the people
After months of meetings and discussions at every level of village and district structure we swung into operation with the agriculture reps
program and the horticultural crops campaign ThankfuUy some of the long-awaited tools - hoes bush knives and seeds - also arrived It is too early to know what the results might be but we are optimistic that with good rains and no bandits family sector food production will show an improvement this ftest season
James gets the thankless task of organizing logistics supplies deleshygations and the endless bookwork Often caught in the middle of our demands the reali ty of the Australian budget and the nightmare of transshyporting difficult ies he somehow remains Cltllm and diplomatic He spends three weeks in the project office in the district centre at the site and the fourth is spent in the capital Mapmo at the CAA office
Our daughter Leah makes a huge differe n ce to our lives The MozambiGms are enchanted by her James is known as the husband of the mother of the baby I am known as the mother of the baby and Leah is known by her own name throughout the area She comes out with me mornings and spends afternoons with James in the office
As always 1 necd to say morc than there is time for My hope is that this letter wi ll personalize what is happening in southern Africa so that more support will come to stop the war and the terrible sadness all around this region

OAC CO-OP PROGRAM POPULAR WITH STUDENTS AND EMPLOYERS
Co-op education is the only way to go says Janice Parker OAC 86 Her comment is reflective of the overall view held by co-op students and employers alike
The co-operative education proshygram which has been available to OAC students for the past five years formally integrates the students academic srudy with work experience in co-operating employer organishyzations Usually the student alternates four months ofsoldywith four months of work in the agricultu ral industry directly related to his or her field of study
The co-op program provided me with invaluable work experience in the food science field This experience also enabled me to get an overseas job (through an international exshychange association ) inmy field says Janice who worked as a research assistant in an alcohol company in Finland
Janice says the practical lessons learned on work tenus made classshyroom theory easier to understand She also says the co-op program gave her the benefits of increased selfshyconfidence and the ability to present herse lf well at a job interview Employment interviews generally occur on campus in the middle of the academic term preceding each work semester The interviews are comshypetitive in nature as are the salaries paid by employers which usually average S 1100-$ 1500 per month
Kenda Allen OAC 86 says the coshyop program definitely helps with finances Besides earning money you only pay for four months of your education at a time
While in the program Kenda worked terms as a fieldperson with the Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation as a horse show entry clerk with the Royal Wi nter fair and as a rural organization specialist assistant with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food She now works full-time as associate editor of the
Canadian Ay rshire Review which promotes the Ayrshire breed
My experience in the co-op program helped me obtain obtain my present job I al 0 made contacts which w ill continue to benefi t my career says Kenda
By working at a variety of jobs Kenda explains she was able to narrow down her options and fi nd the correct path to take
Kenda says she also enjoyed the break from the books every four months which allowed her to apply what she was learning
Equally Enthusiastic Employers are equally enthusiastic
about the program Paul Nelson OAC 70 MA 72 vice-preSident of manufacturing and technical services at Corporate Foods in Toronto participated in earlyplanning scssions for the co-op program He cant understand why anyone would not choose the p rogram and feels that ifit had been available when he was a student it would have been very beneficial to him
Paul says the program gives students and employers a chance to assess one another during a fXed time-frame If the students do well he says his company is committed to hiring them on a permanent basis when the opportunity arises We always tell them to keep in touch he says We have found Guelph sOldents to be eager capable and adaptable
Doug Flint OAC 85 who spent two work terms with Corporate Foods was hired permanently as a quality assurance and sanitation supervisor In his case the program came full circle when he hired Guelph co-op student Brenda Ternyik as his assistant last summer and Kelly Newell OAC 82 as his permanenr assistant recently
Doug says the program is a good method of screening for both students and employers It helped me decide what [ did and did not want to do career-wise and it set me up for a
permanent job The company in rum was hiring someone they already knew something about
Suzanne Raymond OAC 77 a research and development manager with Pillsbury Canada Ltd in Toronto says her company has hired many coshyop students as research and developshyment technicians Since product development is seasonal the four month time-frame for work terms is especially suitable for Pillsbury Students undertake short-term proshyjects where it would be uneconomical to hire full-time employees
Suzanne says Pillsbury originally got involved with the co-op program from a recruiting standpoint It gives us exposure to the students and we can test how well they work she says It also gives us exposure to I what is happening at the University in terms of research and the food industry
Suzanne says another benefit is the freshness and vitality students bring with them to the job She has found them on the whole to be very good workers
Louis Paul Ricard a manager with Cargill Ltd a grain company that services both domestic and export markets says the co-op program gives his company a good idea of the calibre of student coming out of university today The work they do is a real contribution to the company as well
Cargills first co-op student Don foster OAC 86 has been hired full shytime as a grain merchant While on work terms with CargiU he had jobs in both Ontario and Alberta Don says an advantage of the co-op program is the opportunity to live and work in different areas of the country
Cargill also hired the co -op programs first crop science graduate John Ormrod OAC 85 who now works in Saskatchewan

NEW RECORD SET FOR ANNUAL GIVING
It is my pleasure to announce that the Alma Mater Fund (AMF) has seta new record for annual giving in 1986 exceeding its target of 5700000 by six and one halfper cent for a total of 574901 3 On behalf of the AMF AdviSOry Council I congratulate the 3631 graduates and the 789 friends faculty staff corporations and foundations who have made the 1986 campaign such a resounding success
Almost 75 per cent of all annual gifts in 1986 were designated to specific niversity projects For this reason despite our fine record some projects approved for funding by the AMF Advisory Council did not receive anticipated support There were also insufficient non designated gifts to allow the Council the option of making up the shortfaJl
Let me explain The AMF AdviSOry Council is made up of representatives from the Boards of Directors of the seven College A1umnj Associations the OAC Alumni Foundation and the University of Guelph Alu mn i Association Each fall the council receives and examines projects put forward by the
Gordon LE Nbcon OAC 37
Colleges which their sponsors believe merit financial support from alumni
Because of the lack of sufficient support for some projects and of sufficient non deSignated gifts the AMP Advisory Council had to reduce grants for several projects this year These were most difficult decisions An ad hoc committee of the AMF Advisory Council was set up to study the whole problem and to suggest ways to overcome it The results of their deliberations will be reported in a future issue of the Guelph Alumnus
It is also the responsibility of the
AMF Advisory Council to ensure all wishes attached to gifts are carried out To tlus end a report is required from each reCipient offunds detailing how the funds were used These are carefu lly reviewed by the AMF Advisory Council thereby ensuring the integrity ofthe annual campaign
On your behalf if I may I would like to thank my colleagues on the AMF Advisory Council for their time and effort toward the success of our annual campaign in support ofGuelph
On their behalf I would Like to express appreciation to each of you who has contributed to the 1986 campaign the most successful in the history of annual alumni support to the University I look forward to your continued support in 1987 Such support assures the achievement of excellence that is a tradHion at the University of Guelph
Cordially
Gordon LE Nixon OAC 37 Chairman AMF Advisory Council
ADVISORY COUNCil RECOGNIZED The Alma Mater Fund Advisory Council is responsible for establishing and amending the Alma Mater Fund Poliq Guidelines approving the alloshycation of the Funds proceeds and selecting new Fund projects It comshyprises two alumni appointed by each College Alumni Association for a two or three year term All members welcome your advice and recommenshydations The work of the Council demands commitment and dedication and it is with gratitude that the University recognizes the efforts of the council in 1986

KEN MURRAY GIVING SOMETHING BACK TO THE UNIVERSITY
By Sandra Couch Public Relations and Information
The University of Guelphs capital campaign is an excellent opportunity for graduates to give something back to the institution which has given them so much says Ken Murray OAC 50 co-chairman of the Regional and chairman of the Associations comshymittees for The Campaign In recent years Ken has served as a member and chairman of the Board of Govershynors He was named a fellow of the University in 1983
Ken who is a corporate director of Kitchener-based JM Schneider Inc is channelling some of his time and co nsiderable ene rgies in to The Campaign in appreciation for what Guelph has given him
I have a great affinity for this campus he says One of the reasons I am involved in this campaign is to help keep the University relevant and vibrant Were educating students here for the next century
He believes alurrmi should get inshyvolved Indeed Ken believes any person who is a graduate of Guelph should get out and work for the University You cannot assume that other people are going to do all the work
Ken lauds the efforts of volunteers both on and off campus recognizing that without them The Campaign would not succeed His contagiOUS enthusiasm has earned him a reputashytion as a super-volunteer with staff in the Department of Alumni Affairs and Development The regional comshymittee co-chaired by Ken will be directly involved in raising an esti shymated $55 million for The Campaign from regional businesses and associashytions such as the Womens Institute livestock breed associations and agrishycultural products marketing boards The regional committee currently 28 strong and grOwing will approach some 200 southern Ontario businesses before The Campaign is finished
As Chairman of the Board of Governors a decade ago Ken believed
Super-volunteer Ken MunClY OAC 50 that a capital campaign was needed at Guelph He was a mcmber of the Campaign Advisory Council which was instrumental in doi ng the groundwork before The Canlpaign went public last September I want to be involved 1 want to raise the profile of this University in the busi shyness community he says The ni shyversity of Guelph has made an excellent start to this campaign of the 16 regional corporations Ken has approached so far only one could not give at this time
With Marilyn Robinson Mac 55of Alumni Affairs and Development Ken plans to approach virtually every trade
association and marketing board re shylated to agriculture The response to date has been very positive says Marilyn who adds that at one proshyducer organization more than halfof the members had some connection with the University of Guelph
Ken is very vocal in his belief that Guelph graduates should get involved in The Campaign by making a financial contribution and if possible by volunteering their time (0 help out This University has given us a great deal We owe something in reulrn
HALFWAY THERE
Seven months after the launch ofits five -year capital campaign the nivcrsity was almost halfshyway toward its 86o million goal As f March 31 contributions to The Campaign tota ll ed $29971 022
Im delighted we have reached this milestone ahead of schedule says Marjorie Millar director Alumni Affairs and Development Now that the momentum is there she says we ve got to keep it going we need the support of alumni as we continue to stretch for the next milestone

ENGLISH INSTRUCTION SUPERIOR IN CANADA
Dear Editor I have taught Human Anatomy and
Physiology for 24 years ( Deparlment ofBiological Sciences State University of New York College of Arts and Science at Plattsburgh New York) and last falL semester in addition to this subject I was asked to teach a new departmental offering Comshymunicating Biology
Because college undergraduates including graduating seniors for the most part write poorly particularly in their major our cOllege has decided to do something about this national problem we have instituted a college-wide rccruitment that all juniors must take the writing course now he ing offered within their rcspective majors
( was asked to teach this course on the basis of my writing abili ties as perceived by the biology faculty of this college Whatever strengths I have in this area they evolved prishymarilyas a result of my extensive preshycollege and college instruction in English composition and English literature in Ontario schooLs
I first recognized the advantages of tIns education in graduate schools in
the United States and subsequently I have become even more appreciative of this exten ive training as a faculty member involved in the preparation of grant proposals and research publications for the past 26 years
Unless there have been changes of which I anl unaware most certainly the instruction in English composition
and literature from both quantitative and qualitative aspects at all levels in Canadian schools is far superior to what is available across the border I hope some day we will close the gap

The 10 annual awards worth $16000 each over the course of an eight -semester honors degree will go to students with exceptional leadership qualities as well as acashydemic ability President Burt Matthews describes the prospective winners as people who will be leaders in society
The selection criteria are similar to those for the Winegard Medal One of the early medalists Christine Zink OVC 78 points to the importance of
the qualities Guelph is seeking in its students
it is very important that candishydates demonstrate a balance in their interests and activities When I was teaching at ove I came to know students who achieved AU averages by studying to the exclusion of all other activities These people did not contribute to the lives of others nor did such one-sided lives really benefit them After graduation job opporshytunities are gained and lost on the basis of ones ability to communicate with others Induding leadership skills and sportsmanship in the criteria for awards such as the Winegard Medal
and the Presidents Scholarships emphasizes the importance of leading a balanced life
Dr Zink is now doing post-doctoral research at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore studying viruses that cause diseases similar to AIDS in sheep and goats

ARTS GRAD WINS KUDOS FOR STAGE PERFORMANCE
It took three years for Janet Land Arts 80 to make up her mind that she really wanted to be a professional actress After graduation from the University of Guelph she dabbled in amateur theatre and earned her Bachelor ofEducation at the University ofOttawa before taking the plunge and moving to Toronto to establish herself on the stage and in film
Now w i th four years on the professhysional circuit to her credit Janets career decision is paying off In March she finished touring to good reviews in the powerful drama Firedeveloped at Thunder Bays Magnus Theatre and co-produced by the National Arts Centre Theatre Company of Ottawa the Centaur Theatre Company of Montreal and the Citadel Theatre of Edmonton
Written by Paul Ledoux and David Young Fire is based very loosely on the life of musician Jerry Lee Lewis and his evangelist cousin J immy Swaggart It explores the conflict between the power of religion and the electric excitement of rock and roll
Janets role in Fire was Molly who is modelled very 100 ely on the 13shyyear-old cousin Lewis married
Shes a wonderful character who goes from tbe age of 13 to 35 says Janet She is caught between two men one a rock and roller the other a fimdanlentalist preacher
OfJanets performance the Globe and Mail wrote Janet Land is a capable actress who has a special knack for projecting what may be called intelligent sweetness And Molly is the only female role in the show a role that calls for a range from a 13 year olds naivete to the chastened near bitterness of early middle age Land is in a sense playing several different people and the character is more complex than might be imagined at first
Macleans wrote As MolJy King Land effortlessly porlrays the transformation from bubbly teenager to trim matron
With such reviews Janets name is becoming better know but it has
janet Land Arts 80
been an uphill clinlb During her first year as an actress when not many roles were coming her way she had to supplement her income by supply teaching and working part-time at Blacks Cameras Her first professional production was The Fantastiks at Leah Posluns Theatre in Toronto Although she played the lead ofLouisa in this musical it was a non-equity role Then she appeared in two Blyth Festival productions the comedy Cakewalk by Colleen Curran and the mystery A Spider in the House by Brian Tremblay Next she was invited to do a musical version of Scrooge at Theatre New Brunswick With these three professional productions she earned her Actors Equity card and is grateful to Blyth for giving her that opportunity
Janet has appeared in vMious teleshyvision commercials and had a small role in the CBC production Charlie Grants War For three months last summer she had fun playing Sister Mary Amnesia in Toronto Workshop Productions Nunsense and she also had a chance to workshop a new Canadian play called Little Miss Easter Seals an autobiography about polio victim Lina Chartrand The play was workshopped at Le Theatre du Petit Bonheur the only French theatre in Toronto Janets major at Guelph was French ( drama was her minor) and she is biligual
It was wonderful to work in
French I hope I get to do more plays in that language The French people are very passionate she says
Janet appeared in three Department ofDranla productions while attending Guelph - Chamber Music in 1977 The journey of the Fifth Horse in 1978 and The Miser in 1979 When she thinks of her training at Guelph she thinks of her drama professor Harry Lane who guided her through two of those productions
The highlight of my week used to be Monday morning dranu classes Wed start with coffee and those deli shycious Danishes from Massey Hall and then wed run through our exercises r learned not only about acting but the behind-the-scenes work like lighting and costumes as well Im grateful for that she recalls
Janet doesnt regret her decision to pursue an acting career She finds it very fulfilling She is even getting used to the insecurity ofnot knowing where the next rolc is coming from She didnt have any work lined up after Fire but was certain something would tum up
Something always does she added with the self-assuredness ofUl actress who is starting to be noticed
AT STRATFORD If youre planning to attend the Stratford Festival this year watch for Peter DonaldsOn Arts 15 Peter is appearing with The Young Company on the Third Stage as)acques in As You Like ltfrom May 28-5eptember p as Capulet in Romeo and ju1et from May 29September 5 and asMa on inJourneysElldfronl July14-SepteInber 5

After graduating she amwered an advertisement in the newspaper and headed West to take a job as dietitian and housekeeper in a 200-be d teaching hospital in Regina
I never worked so hard in my life Etta says of her year at the hospital Although she enjoyed the work When the year was up I was tired out she says So she accepted a teaching position at a prairie school at Tuxford Sask She taught there
Etta (Birdsall) Gamham Mac 17D
until the flu epidemic in 1918 closed all the schools She then turned her attention to nursing the sick until she got the flu herself
She can still remember being bedshyridden at the home of a farm family when she heard the news on Novemshy

Etta returned home in 1919 to teach first in St Catharines then at Mabees Corners and finally at Guysboro where she met her husband Lee the eligible young farmer who lived across the road from the school They were married in July of 1921 and enjoyed 62 years together before his death four years ago
She continued teaching afte r marriage but only when she was needed she says because farm work kept her busy then
Ive had a lovely life Etta says And although she is now confined to a wheelchair she says shes been as healthy as can be all my life
Asked if there is any secret to her longevity she quickly responds choose your grandfather wisely because you inherit your health She points out her own father lived to be 99 and her grandmother lived to be 100

MILESTONE CE EBRATION FOR OVC
With a flourish of kilts and bagshypipes OVC began celebrating its 125th birthday February 12 The COllege is the oldest veterinary school in continuous operation in North and South America
A special lecture by eminent Scotshytish scientist Dr WilJiam FH Jarrett whose work pioneered AIDS research commemorated the founding of the College and the unique contributions of the veterinary medical profession in the advancement of scientific knowledge and disease control
Dr Jarrett of the University of Glasgow Veterinary School gave a public lecture Vacdnation Against Retroviruses From FAIDS to AIDS His work on Feline Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (FAIDS) has been the basis for subsequent research into AIDS
Dr jarretts lecture took place in War Memorial Hall exactly 125 years after OVCs inaugural address was delivered in Toronto by another Scotsman founder Andrew Smith
Dr Smi th a graduate of the Edinburgh School of Veterinary Medicine was brought to Toronto by the Board of Agriculture of Upper Canada to open a veterinary practice and provide instruction He operated the school under private charter in Toronto until 1908 when it became aftlliated with the University of Toronto nle College moved to Guelph in 1922 becoming a coshyoperative neighbor for the OAC The two later joined with Macdonald Institute to become the founding Colleges of the University of Guelph in 1964
Since the issue of Dr Smiths charshyter the College has contributed substantially to the improvement of public health says OVC Dean Ole Nielsen College faculty were instrushymenta] in the development of milkshytesting programs for mastitis and were involved in the livestock vaccination and testing programs that led to the elimination of tuberculosis and brucellosis in humans and animals
In keeping with the Scottish theme Dr Dean Percy ave 57 MSc 66 a professor in the Department OfPathology piped Dr William PH Jarrett into War Memorial Hall for his special lecture February 12 Also in the procession were President Burt Matthews ave Dean Ole Nielsen specially invited ave retirees andplatform guests (Photo by Tim Sullivan)
They were pioneers in domestic ani shymal surgery and among the first veterinarians to adopt modem surgical techniques Faculty researchers also perfected techniques for the artificial insemination ofdairy cattle and swine and for freezing bull semen
Researdl efforts have continually expanded in areas of comparative medicine where human and vetershyinary medicine cross paths The College is now at the forefront of research on organ transplants and bone surgery and research is proshyceeding in other areas of potential benefit to human medicine including genetically engineered vaccines and cancer research
Each year thousands ofanimals are brought to the ColJege for study and treatment The 2000 patients treated at the large animal clinic last year included an elephant a kangaroo and a gnu Almost 8000 animals visited the small animal clinic and more than 16000 farm animals - mostly cattle
- were seen in the ambulatory clinics herd health program The Colleges wild bird clinic is the only one of its kind in Canada
OVCs department of patholOgy is the Norlh American centre for reshysearch on marine animals and the Canadian centre for diagnostic expershytise in fish pathology The College is closely affiliated with the new Guelph Centre for Equine Research
OVCs influence on the intershynational scene has been substantial Students comefrom around the world (0 study at the undergraduate gradshyuate and post-graduate levels In 1974 the College joined the Canadian international Development Agency in establishing a veterinary school in Malaysia the first in southeast Asia
Celebrations for OVCs 125th birthday will continue throughout the year A highlight onJune 19 is the official opening of the Colleges new Sl35-million large animal faCility

PROGRAM AIMS TO ATTRACT BRIGHTEST STUDENTS
By Sandra Couch Public Relations and Information
The Universitys share of the best and brightest first-year students in the physical sciences could well increase with the introduction of a challenging interdisciplinary one-year pilot project called MPC2 (for Mathematics-Physics-Chemistry-Comshyputing Science ) says Professor Ernie McFarland Physics
Professor McFarland chairman of the CPS interdiSciplinary curriculum committee says the basic introductory courses now in place were designed to serve all tbe students in classes that often reach 300 in size Very bright students the committee found were not as stimulated as they could have been
With the courses as they werewe were not attracting the quantity or quality of students we hoped in areas like physics chemistry and bioshychemistry mathematiCs statistics and computing science says Professor McFarland
The committee has designed a number of new first-year courses which require a minimum average of 80 per cent for admission The courses will combine mathematics physics chemistry and computing and are structured to foster a better appreshyciation of the inter-connections between the disCiplines says Professor McFarland The more challenging courses will also enable bright highly qualified and motivated students to choose one or two additional elective courses in their first year
Professor McFarland admits the project is a departure from the usual departmental philosophy and says the one-year trial period will allow CPS to crawl before we walk He says a successful evaluation at the end of the trial period could lead to possible joint degrees in the areas of physics and chemistry or mathematics and computing
It could well be the first stage for a number of other interdisciplinary ventures in the College beyond the
first -year level says Professor Mcfarland
Acting CPS Dean Rod Gentry says the new intensive program will likely attrlct more of the best students to Guelph because in the sciences the best stude nts are very selective consumers Theyre looking for the best program while theyre still in high school
Former CPS Dean now Vice-President AcademicjackMacDonald conceived MPCZ because he believed that the way physical sciences were
being taught was historical and antiquated He says the departmental divisions in universities are almost tribal in nature and often lead to an arbitrary and artificial division of subject matter
Professor MacDonald says MPCZ which will be offered for the first time in September is consistent with the Universitys aims and objectives and is also consistent with the learning objectives in that it takes a holistic viewpoint in the teaching and learning of the material
GLASSBLOWE RHONORED Unive rSity glassblower Anne Hostetter has been honored by the American Scientific Glassblowers Society (ASGS) in Cincinnati Ohio for her paper Quartz EPR Flat Cel The Fischer and Porter Company of Pennsylvania offers the annual Kermit-Fischer Award in recognition of the best paper presented at the previous years symposium
The paper is selected by a jury from the ASGS on the basis of content app li cat ion presentat ion style graphics use and text
A quartz EPR flat cell is a difficult piece of glassware to make Ms Hostetter says but it is useful in EPR spectroscopy because it allows the 5anlple to be pOSitioned in the densest part of the magnetic field without interfe rence from the electric component of the rad iation
Ms Hostetter has used the techshynique described in her paper sucshycessfully for eight to nine years She forms the flat sides of the cell from two pieces of quartz glass with bevelled edges When spaced proshyperly the bevelled glass forms a V into which a length ofquartz piping is fitted and melted to seal the edges The standard spacing between the two pieces of flat glass is 25 mm
although she has made cells as small as 12 mm and as large as I mm
A 25-minute educaHonal videotape about the technique described in Ms Hostetters paper is available through the ASGS

WOMEN IN SCIENCE GATHER
About 80 women gathered on campus in February to hear Dr Lynda Pinnington talk about career planning forwomen in science Dr Pinnjngton beads Pinn ington Associates of Cambridge a consulting firm that focuses on applied productivity improvement techniques for business and industry Discussants for the careers night were Brenda Bonnett OVC 79 a PhD sludent in the Department of Veterinary Micro shybiology and Immunology and Jan Kaufman Library who is on the Preshysidents Advisory Council day care task force
This was the second event planned by an informal group of women scienshytists at Guelph Professors Susan Mclver chair of the Department of Enviro nmenta l Bio logy Mary Beverley-Burton Zoology and Janet Wood Chemistry and Biochemistry have been the moving forces behind this organization which has blosshysomed into a nucleus of about a dozen women representing aU the science colleges at Guelph They say the groups purpose is to increase awareness of the role of women in science and the opportunities and obstacles they may encounter The group also encourages informal netshyworking and social contacts
Weve avoided creating a formal structure Professor McIver says Meetings are held on an irregular basis and there are no official officers
In addition to offering careers nights the group has compiled a list of women in science at Guelph using the criteria ofa degree in science and employment at the University
Questions raised by the group re shysulted in the updating of the 1975 report of the Presidents Task Force on the status of women at the ni shyversity which led to the formation of the Presidents Advisory Committee on Equal Rights for Men and Women at the University of Guelph This committee chaired by Professor McIver will release a report this spring

OAC GRADUATE WRITES FROM MOZAMBIQUE
Ruth Beilin born and raised in Guelph graduated jromjohn F Ross C VI and earned a BA and a Dipshyloma in Agriculture She worked at the University and in Saskatchewan before going to Papua New Guinea with CUSO as an agricultural extension worker There she met her husband an Australian lawyer who was working in rural development After two years in New Guinea she attended Reading University in England and received an MSc in Agriculture Extension She joinedher husband in Australia and together they apPlied to work on anAustralian government project in Mozambique This is the first ofher letters (written in the summer Of 1986) on life and development in that war-torn country Ruth can be contacted at the follOwing address CAA cP 356 Maputo Mozambique
Life in Mozambique is a series of contrasts and challenges The area where we live is a fertile coastal strip that has been cultivated for at least 50 years - some parts longer Coconut palms wave in the breeze - their languid trunks arching over the dense foliage of the cashew trees planted between their rows The latifundia system practised by the Portuguese meant that as a rule local families had less than two hectares each of usually marginal land to farm for subsistence purposltS and that generally they could not grow permanent tree crops on these family spaces Therefore the wealth from these crops remained with the colonial farmers
Today the state is just beginning a large land reform program What it will mean in real terms is difficult to assess given the huge numbers of dislocated families from the interior dry areas and more desperate war zones The theory is that these families will be able to return to their own farm lands and accumulate more land there assuming that the war and
Ruth Beilin OAC 74
these years of drought and fanline will soon be over
The Mozambicans survive on their abilities as farmers The suffering and deprivation have made them strong conservationists sensitive to their crops and soils But some of the obstacles they face are overwhelming - broken (Ools scarce seed loss of animals Everything is a struggle
Village meetings are stimulating and full of lengthy debate Storyshytelling animation dancing and singing form an important part of the culture The present govenunent has used these means (0 awaken a political consciousness among the people who tend to be passive and accept their circumstances
Our group is not radical but we are different and perhaps threatening to this passivity Mozambicans are tired from hard work long years of fighting a declining economy and many reorganizations of agricultural policy We talk about self-sufficiency (which translated means more work) We talk about development but in agricultural terms offer no pesticides (except naturally occuring ones) import no tractors or cultivators and generally seem to be less modern than the Portuguese who left ten years ago We are not just talking
about rehabilitation but a whole developmental philosophy which is distinct from the projects of other development agencies in nearby districts Although the communities we work in agree that the long-term benefits are valid they must wonder when life is going to become easier
Through all this nms the struggle in southern Africa - the link between the apartheid regime in South Africa and the war in Mozanlbique and indeed in aU the frontline states This war destabilizes the countryside and terrorizes the people rfhe longer we live here and witness this nightmare the more we realize that the end of the war will not be because of things or people in Mozambique This is a war supported by the foreign policies of the West Countries that continue to support South Africa give strength to the South African economy strength that is translated into soldiers anlIDunition supplies and support for the bandidosannados - the armed bandits fighting FREUMO the legal Mozambican govenunent
I could weep when President Reagan says the American support for Jonas Savimbi against the Angolan government and Americas refusal to impose sanctions on South Africa maintains the balance of power between East and West He should stand on the ground where the price is being paid and teU the mourning villagers the dying and the maimed that the world is a better place for this carnage and that the chess games ofthe big men are the real value of human life
Many other countries play sinillar ifsmaller or less direct roles with the future ofsouthern Africa The tragedy of this land is the riches and vast potent ial which attract olltside interest and cost it dearly in ternlS of human resources
James and I first heard about the Rural Development Project in August 1984 when we were working for Community Aid Abroad (CAA) in
24
Australia At that time there was optimism about Mozambique The Nkomati Peace Accord was to end South Mrkas support for the bandits in exchange for diminished support from Mozambique for the African National Congress The project was to be an integrated rural development scheme in health water and agrishyculture
But the war has not ended and it is a constant stumbling block to all aspirations and plans not to mention wearing on ones spirit Still that potential and challenge are alluring and we plod on down the developshyment road trying to build up organization and infrastructure Waiting for the day when things may normalize (After 10 years of war what is normal)
We arrived in Mozambique in April 1985 with James as project director and me as agriculturalist The health team ( a midwife and doctor ) and the community development worker arrived in late August and the water engineer in January 1986 The six of us live on the project site in a nleal district centre The official language is Portuguese and our official work is in that language However the people generally speak their own languages and so communication below the official level continues to be difficult Still they are very patient with our attempts to communicate and live in their communities
My own work is starting to become more visible Three agricultural technicians and I have organized a program of support for the fdmily sector in agriculture This is largely an education extension system that operates on three levels The first level consists of training zone representatives in practical demonshystrations ofagricultural techniques in their home area ( each zone has roughly 60 families and is represented by one man and woman chosen by their community) The zone reps are linked in training sessions and in countryside visits to the second level - an enquadradore who is basically the official link to the district agricultural system There are only five functioning enquadradores in a district of 110000 or more people so we had pound0 create the agricultural reps to make the enquadradores task possible The training program for the enquadradores is critically important because they have no agriculturaJ background but must collect and transmit agricultural information The third level is the agricultural technicians themselves These young counterparts are likely to be the directors and administrators of the future They are also the direct teaching link to the people
After months of meetings and discussions at every level of village and district structure we swung into operation with the agriculture reps
program and the horticultural crops campaign ThankfuUy some of the long-awaited tools - hoes bush knives and seeds - also arrived It is too early to know what the results might be but we are optimistic that with good rains and no bandits family sector food production will show an improvement this ftest season
James gets the thankless task of organizing logistics supplies deleshygations and the endless bookwork Often caught in the middle of our demands the reali ty of the Australian budget and the nightmare of transshyporting difficult ies he somehow remains Cltllm and diplomatic He spends three weeks in the project office in the district centre at the site and the fourth is spent in the capital Mapmo at the CAA office
Our daughter Leah makes a huge differe n ce to our lives The MozambiGms are enchanted by her James is known as the husband of the mother of the baby I am known as the mother of the baby and Leah is known by her own name throughout the area She comes out with me mornings and spends afternoons with James in the office
As always 1 necd to say morc than there is time for My hope is that this letter wi ll personalize what is happening in southern Africa so that more support will come to stop the war and the terrible sadness all around this region

OAC CO-OP PROGRAM POPULAR WITH STUDENTS AND EMPLOYERS
Co-op education is the only way to go says Janice Parker OAC 86 Her comment is reflective of the overall view held by co-op students and employers alike
The co-operative education proshygram which has been available to OAC students for the past five years formally integrates the students academic srudy with work experience in co-operating employer organishyzations Usually the student alternates four months ofsoldywith four months of work in the agricultu ral industry directly related to his or her field of study
The co-op program provided me with invaluable work experience in the food science field This experience also enabled me to get an overseas job (through an international exshychange association ) inmy field says Janice who worked as a research assistant in an alcohol company in Finland
Janice says the practical lessons learned on work tenus made classshyroom theory easier to understand She also says the co-op program gave her the benefits of increased selfshyconfidence and the ability to present herse lf well at a job interview Employment interviews generally occur on campus in the middle of the academic term preceding each work semester The interviews are comshypetitive in nature as are the salaries paid by employers which usually average S 1100-$ 1500 per month
Kenda Allen OAC 86 says the coshyop program definitely helps with finances Besides earning money you only pay for four months of your education at a time
While in the program Kenda worked terms as a fieldperson with the Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation as a horse show entry clerk with the Royal Wi nter fair and as a rural organization specialist assistant with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food She now works full-time as associate editor of the
Canadian Ay rshire Review which promotes the Ayrshire breed
My experience in the co-op program helped me obtain obtain my present job I al 0 made contacts which w ill continue to benefi t my career says Kenda
By working at a variety of jobs Kenda explains she was able to narrow down her options and fi nd the correct path to take
Kenda says she also enjoyed the break from the books every four months which allowed her to apply what she was learning
Equally Enthusiastic Employers are equally enthusiastic
about the program Paul Nelson OAC 70 MA 72 vice-preSident of manufacturing and technical services at Corporate Foods in Toronto participated in earlyplanning scssions for the co-op program He cant understand why anyone would not choose the p rogram and feels that ifit had been available when he was a student it would have been very beneficial to him
Paul says the program gives students and employers a chance to assess one another during a fXed time-frame If the students do well he says his company is committed to hiring them on a permanent basis when the opportunity arises We always tell them to keep in touch he says We have found Guelph sOldents to be eager capable and adaptable
Doug Flint OAC 85 who spent two work terms with Corporate Foods was hired permanently as a quality assurance and sanitation supervisor In his case the program came full circle when he hired Guelph co-op student Brenda Ternyik as his assistant last summer and Kelly Newell OAC 82 as his permanenr assistant recently
Doug says the program is a good method of screening for both students and employers It helped me decide what [ did and did not want to do career-wise and it set me up for a
permanent job The company in rum was hiring someone they already knew something about
Suzanne Raymond OAC 77 a research and development manager with Pillsbury Canada Ltd in Toronto says her company has hired many coshyop students as research and developshyment technicians Since product development is seasonal the four month time-frame for work terms is especially suitable for Pillsbury Students undertake short-term proshyjects where it would be uneconomical to hire full-time employees
Suzanne says Pillsbury originally got involved with the co-op program from a recruiting standpoint It gives us exposure to the students and we can test how well they work she says It also gives us exposure to I what is happening at the University in terms of research and the food industry
Suzanne says another benefit is the freshness and vitality students bring with them to the job She has found them on the whole to be very good workers
Louis Paul Ricard a manager with Cargill Ltd a grain company that services both domestic and export markets says the co-op program gives his company a good idea of the calibre of student coming out of university today The work they do is a real contribution to the company as well
Cargills first co-op student Don foster OAC 86 has been hired full shytime as a grain merchant While on work terms with CargiU he had jobs in both Ontario and Alberta Don says an advantage of the co-op program is the opportunity to live and work in different areas of the country
Cargill also hired the co -op programs first crop science graduate John Ormrod OAC 85 who now works in Saskatchewan

NOT VALID IF CANCELLED OR REVOKED
NEW RECORD SET FOR ANNUAL GIVING
It is my pleasure to announce that the Alma Mater Fund (AMF) has seta new record for annual giving in 1986 exceeding its target of 5700000 by six and one halfper cent for a total of 574901 3 On behalf of the AMF AdviSOry Council I congratulate the 3631 graduates and the 789 friends faculty staff corporations and foundations who have made the 1986 campaign such a resounding success
Almost 75 per cent of all annual gifts in 1986 were designated to specific niversity projects For this reason despite our fine record some projects approved for funding by the AMF Advisory Council did not receive anticipated support There were also insufficient non designated gifts to allow the Council the option of making up the shortfaJl
Let me explain The AMF AdviSOry Council is made up of representatives from the Boards of Directors of the seven College A1umnj Associations the OAC Alumni Foundation and the University of Guelph Alu mn i Association Each fall the council receives and examines projects put forward by the
Gordon LE Nbcon OAC 37
Colleges which their sponsors believe merit financial support from alumni
Because of the lack of sufficient support for some projects and of sufficient non deSignated gifts the AMP Advisory Council had to reduce grants for several projects this year These were most difficult decisions An ad hoc committee of the AMF Advisory Council was set up to study the whole problem and to suggest ways to overcome it The results of their deliberations will be reported in a future issue of the Guelph Alumnus
It is also the responsibility of the
AMF Advisory Council to ensure all wishes attached to gifts are carried out To tlus end a report is required from each reCipient offunds detailing how the funds were used These are carefu lly reviewed by the AMF Advisory Council thereby ensuring the integrity ofthe annual campaign
On your behalf if I may I would like to thank my colleagues on the AMF Advisory Council for their time and effort toward the success of our annual campaign in support ofGuelph
On their behalf I would Like to express appreciation to each of you who has contributed to the 1986 campaign the most successful in the history of annual alumni support to the University I look forward to your continued support in 1987 Such support assures the achievement of excellence that is a tradHion at the University of Guelph
Cordially
Gordon LE Nixon OAC 37 Chairman AMF Advisory Council
ADVISORY COUNCil RECOGNIZED The Alma Mater Fund Advisory Council is responsible for establishing and amending the Alma Mater Fund Poliq Guidelines approving the alloshycation of the Funds proceeds and selecting new Fund projects It comshyprises two alumni appointed by each College Alumni Association for a two or three year term All members welcome your advice and recommenshydations The work of the Council demands commitment and dedication and it is with gratitude that the University recognizes the efforts of the council in 1986

KEN MURRAY GIVING SOMETHING BACK TO THE UNIVERSITY
By Sandra Couch Public Relations and Information
The University of Guelphs capital campaign is an excellent opportunity for graduates to give something back to the institution which has given them so much says Ken Murray OAC 50 co-chairman of the Regional and chairman of the Associations comshymittees for The Campaign In recent years Ken has served as a member and chairman of the Board of Govershynors He was named a fellow of the University in 1983
Ken who is a corporate director of Kitchener-based JM Schneider Inc is channelling some of his time and co nsiderable ene rgies in to The Campaign in appreciation for what Guelph has given him
I have a great affinity for this campus he says One of the reasons I am involved in this campaign is to help keep the University relevant and vibrant Were educating students here for the next century
He believes alurrmi should get inshyvolved Indeed Ken believes any person who is a graduate of Guelph should get out and work for the University You cannot assume that other people are going to do all the work
Ken lauds the efforts of volunteers both on and off campus recognizing that without them The Campaign would not succeed His contagiOUS enthusiasm has earned him a reputashytion as a super-volunteer with staff in the Department of Alumni Affairs and Development The regional comshymittee co-chaired by Ken will be directly involved in raising an esti shymated $55 million for The Campaign from regional businesses and associashytions such as the Womens Institute livestock breed associations and agrishycultural products marketing boards The regional committee currently 28 strong and grOwing will approach some 200 southern Ontario businesses before The Campaign is finished
As Chairman of the Board of Governors a decade ago Ken believed
Super-volunteer Ken MunClY OAC 50 that a capital campaign was needed at Guelph He was a mcmber of the Campaign Advisory Council which was instrumental in doi ng the groundwork before The Canlpaign went public last September I want to be involved 1 want to raise the profile of this University in the busi shyness community he says The ni shyversity of Guelph has made an excellent start to this campaign of the 16 regional corporations Ken has approached so far only one could not give at this time

ENGLISH INSTRUCTION SUPERIOR IN CANADA
Dear Editor I have taught Human Anatomy and
Physiology for 24 years ( Deparlment ofBiological Sciences State University of New York College of Arts and Science at Plattsburgh New York) and last falL semester in addition to this subject I was asked to teach a new departmental offering Comshymunicating Biology
Because college undergraduates including graduating seniors for the most part write poorly particularly in their major our cOllege has decided to do something about this national problem we have instituted a college-wide rccruitment that all juniors must take the writing course now he ing offered within their rcspective majors
( was asked to teach this course on the basis of my writing abili ties as perceived by the biology faculty of this college Whatever strengths I have in this area they evolved prishymarilyas a result of my extensive preshycollege and college instruction in English composition and English literature in Ontario schooLs
I first recognized the advantages of tIns education in graduate schools in
the United States and subsequently I have become even more appreciative of this exten ive training as a faculty member involved in the preparation of grant proposals and research publications for the past 26 years
Unless there have been changes of which I anl unaware most certainly the instruction in English composition
and literature from both quantitative and qualitative aspects at all levels in Canadian schools is far superior to what is available across the border I hope some day we will close the gap

PRESIDENTS SCHOLARSHIPS EMPHASIZE LEADERSHIP
The Presidents Scholarships the Universitys most prestigious undershygraduate awards are designed to attract the cream of Canadian young people to Guelph
The 10 annual awards worth $16000 each over the course of an eight -semester honors degree will go to students with exceptional leadership qualities as well as acashydemic ability President Burt Matthews describes the prospective winners as people who will be leaders in society
The selection criteria are similar to those for the Winegard Medal One of the early medalists Christine Zink OVC 78 points to the importance of
the qualities Guelph is seeking in its students
it is very important that candishydates demonstrate a balance in their interests and activities When I was teaching at ove I came to know students who achieved AU averages by studying to the exclusion of all other activities These people did not contribute to the lives of others nor did such one-sided lives really benefit them After graduation job opporshytunities are gained and lost on the basis of ones ability to communicate with others Induding leadership skills and sportsmanship in the criteria for awards such as the Winegard Medal
and the Presidents Scholarships emphasizes the importance of leading a balanced life
Dr Zink is now doing post-doctoral research at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore studying viruses that cause diseases similar to AIDS in sheep and goats
The ftrst PresidentS Scholarship winners will he announced in June Before then nominees will be invited to visit campus and meet faculty in their areas of interest The winners wiU be honored at a lunch given by President Matthews in September Nominations made by school prinshycipals dosed April I

ARTS GRAD WINS KUDOS FOR STAGE PERFORMANCE
It took three years for Janet Land Arts 80 to make up her mind that she really wanted to be a professional actress After graduation from the University of Guelph she dabbled in amateur theatre and earned her Bachelor ofEducation at the University ofOttawa before taking the plunge and moving to Toronto to establish herself on the stage and in film
Now w i th four years on the professhysional circuit to her credit Janets career decision is paying off In March she finished touring to good reviews in the powerful drama Firedeveloped at Thunder Bays Magnus Theatre and co-produced by the National Arts Centre Theatre Company of Ottawa the Centaur Theatre Company of Montreal and the Citadel Theatre of Edmonton
Written by Paul Ledoux and David Young Fire is based very loosely on the life of musician Jerry Lee Lewis and his evangelist cousin J immy Swaggart It explores the conflict between the power of religion and the electric excitement of rock and roll
Janets role in Fire was Molly who is modelled very 100 ely on the 13shyyear-old cousin Lewis married
Shes a wonderful character who goes from tbe age of 13 to 35 says Janet She is caught between two men one a rock and roller the other a fimdanlentalist preacher
OfJanets performance the Globe and Mail wrote Janet Land is a capable actress who has a special knack for projecting what may be called intelligent sweetness And Molly is the only female role in the show a role that calls for a range from a 13 year olds naivete to the chastened near bitterness of early middle age Land is in a sense playing several different people and the character is more complex than might be imagined at first
Macleans wrote As MolJy King Land effortlessly porlrays the transformation from bubbly teenager to trim matron
With such reviews Janets name is becoming better know but it has
janet Land Arts 80
been an uphill clinlb During her first year as an actress when not many roles were coming her way she had to supplement her income by supply teaching and working part-time at Blacks Cameras Her first professional production was The Fantastiks at Leah Posluns Theatre in Toronto Although she played the lead ofLouisa in this musical it was a non-equity role Then she appeared in two Blyth Festival productions the comedy Cakewalk by Colleen Curran and the mystery A Spider in the House by Brian Tremblay Next she was invited to do a musical version of Scrooge at Theatre New Brunswick With these three professional productions she earned her Actors Equity card and is grateful to Blyth for giving her that opportunity
Janet has appeared in vMious teleshyvision commercials and had a small role in the CBC production Charlie Grants War For three months last summer she had fun playing Sister Mary Amnesia in Toronto Workshop Productions Nunsense and she also had a chance to workshop a new Canadian play called Little Miss Easter Seals an autobiography about polio victim Lina Chartrand The play was workshopped at Le Theatre du Petit Bonheur the only French theatre in Toronto Janets major at Guelph was French ( drama was her minor) and she is biligual
It was wonderful to work in
French I hope I get to do more plays in that language The French people are very passionate she says
Janet appeared in three Department ofDranla productions while attending Guelph - Chamber Music in 1977 The journey of the Fifth Horse in 1978 and The Miser in 1979 When she thinks of her training at Guelph she thinks of her drama professor Harry Lane who guided her through two of those productions
The highlight of my week used to be Monday morning dranu classes Wed start with coffee and those deli shycious Danishes from Massey Hall and then wed run through our exercises r learned not only about acting but the behind-the-scenes work like lighting and costumes as well Im grateful for that she recalls
Janet doesnt regret her decision to pursue an acting career She finds it very fulfilling She is even getting used to the insecurity ofnot knowing where the next rolc is coming from She didnt have any work lined up after Fire but was certain something would tum up
Something always does she added with the self-assuredness ofUl actress who is starting to be noticed
AT STRATFORD If youre planning to attend the Stratford Festival this year watch for Peter DonaldsOn Arts 15 Peter is appearing with The Young Company on the Third Stage as)acques in As You Like ltfrom May 28-5eptember p as Capulet in Romeo and ju1et from May 29September 5 and asMa on inJourneysElldfronl July14-SepteInber 5

Etta reads the Guelph Alumnus to keep up with what is happening at the University As well as changes in courses she likes to know about changes in buildings on campus When she was a student she lived in Macdonald Hall
Etta was more adventurous than other young women of her day Born in South Middleton Township in lS91 she attended school at SS 13 in Middleton and Tillsonburg High School until 1905 She graduated from London Normal School in 1909 and at the age of IS undertook her first teaching position at SS 1 Middleton with 49 students in Grades l-S under her sole supervision She continued teaching until 1915 when she decided to return to school to study domestic science at Guelph
After graduating she amwered an advertisement in the newspaper and headed West to take a job as dietitian and housekeeper in a 200-be d teaching hospital in Regina
I never worked so hard in my life Etta says of her year at the hospital Although she enjoyed the work When the year was up I was tired out she says So she accepted a teaching position at a prairie school at Tuxford Sask She taught there
Etta (Birdsall) Gamham Mac 17D
until the flu epidemic in 1918 closed all the schools She then turned her attention to nursing the sick until she got the flu herself
She can still remember being bedshyridden at the home of a farm family when she heard the news on Novemshy
ber 11 1915 thatthe First World War had ended
Etta returned home in 1919 to teach first in St Catharines then at Mabees Corners and finally at Guysboro where she met her husband Lee the eligible young farmer who lived across the road from the school They were married in July of 1921 and enjoyed 62 years together before his death four years ago
She continued teaching afte r marriage but only when she was needed she says because farm work kept her busy then
Ive had a lovely life Etta says And although she is now confined to a wheelchair she says shes been as healthy as can be all my life
Asked if there is any secret to her longevity she quickly responds choose your grandfather wisely because you inherit your health She points out her own father lived to be 99 and her grandmother lived to be 100

MILESTONE CE EBRATION FOR OVC
With a flourish of kilts and bagshypipes OVC began celebrating its 125th birthday February 12 The COllege is the oldest veterinary school in continuous operation in North and South America
A special lecture by eminent Scotshytish scientist Dr WilJiam FH Jarrett whose work pioneered AIDS research commemorated the founding of the College and the unique contributions of the veterinary medical profession in the advancement of scientific knowledge and disease control
Dr Jarrett of the University of Glasgow Veterinary School gave a public lecture Vacdnation Against Retroviruses From FAIDS to AIDS His work on Feline Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (FAIDS) has been the basis for subsequent research into AIDS
Dr jarretts lecture took place in War Memorial Hall exactly 125 years after OVCs inaugural address was delivered in Toronto by another Scotsman founder Andrew Smith
Dr Smi th a graduate of the Edinburgh School of Veterinary Medicine was brought to Toronto by the Board of Agriculture of Upper Canada to open a veterinary practice and provide instruction He operated the school under private charter in Toronto until 1908 when it became aftlliated with the University of Toronto nle College moved to Guelph in 1922 becoming a coshyoperative neighbor for the OAC The two later joined with Macdonald Institute to become the founding Colleges of the University of Guelph in 1964
Since the issue of Dr Smiths charshyter the College has contributed substantially to the improvement of public health says OVC Dean Ole Nielsen College faculty were instrushymenta] in the development of milkshytesting programs for mastitis and were involved in the livestock vaccination and testing programs that led to the elimination of tuberculosis and brucellosis in humans and animals
In keeping with the Scottish theme Dr Dean Percy ave 57 MSc 66 a professor in the Department OfPathology piped Dr William PH Jarrett into War Memorial Hall for his special lecture February 12 Also in the procession were President Burt Matthews ave Dean Ole Nielsen specially invited ave retirees andplatform guests (Photo by Tim Sullivan)
They were pioneers in domestic ani shymal surgery and among the first veterinarians to adopt modem surgical techniques Faculty researchers also perfected techniques for the artificial insemination ofdairy cattle and swine and for freezing bull semen
Researdl efforts have continually expanded in areas of comparative medicine where human and vetershyinary medicine cross paths The College is now at the forefront of research on organ transplants and bone surgery and research is proshyceeding in other areas of potential benefit to human medicine including genetically engineered vaccines and cancer research
Each year thousands ofanimals are brought to the ColJege for study and treatment The 2000 patients treated at the large animal clinic last year included an elephant a kangaroo and a gnu Almost 8000 animals visited the small animal clinic and more than 16000 farm animals - mostly cattle
- were seen in the ambulatory clinics herd health program The Colleges wild bird clinic is the only one of its kind in Canada
OVCs department of patholOgy is the Norlh American centre for reshysearch on marine animals and the Canadian centre for diagnostic expershytise in fish pathology The College is closely affiliated with the new Guelph Centre for Equine Research
OVCs influence on the intershynational scene has been substantial Students comefrom around the world (0 study at the undergraduate gradshyuate and post-graduate levels In 1974 the College joined the Canadian international Development Agency in establishing a veterinary school in Malaysia the first in southeast Asia
Celebrations for OVCs 125th birthday will continue throughout the year A highlight onJune 19 is the official opening of the Colleges new Sl35-million large animal faCility

PROGRAM AIMS TO ATTRACT BRIGHTEST STUDENTS
By Sandra Couch Public Relations and Information
The Universitys share of the best and brightest first-year students in the physical sciences could well increase with the introduction of a challenging interdisciplinary one-year pilot project called MPC2 (for Mathematics-Physics-Chemistry-Comshyputing Science ) says Professor Ernie McFarland Physics
Professor McFarland chairman of the CPS interdiSciplinary curriculum committee says the basic introductory courses now in place were designed to serve all tbe students in classes that often reach 300 in size Very bright students the committee found were not as stimulated as they could have been
With the courses as they werewe were not attracting the quantity or quality of students we hoped in areas like physics chemistry and bioshychemistry mathematiCs statistics and computing science says Professor McFarland
The committee has designed a number of new first-year courses which require a minimum average of 80 per cent for admission The courses will combine mathematics physics chemistry and computing and are structured to foster a better appreshyciation of the inter-connections between the disCiplines says Professor McFarland The more challenging courses will also enable bright highly qualified and motivated students to choose one or two additional elective courses in their first year
Professor McFarland admits the project is a departure from the usual departmental philosophy and says the one-year trial period will allow CPS to crawl before we walk He says a successful evaluation at the end of the trial period could lead to possible joint degrees in the areas of physics and chemistry or mathematics and computing
It could well be the first stage for a number of other interdisciplinary ventures in the College beyond the
first -year level says Professor Mcfarland
Acting CPS Dean Rod Gentry says the new intensive program will likely attrlct more of the best students to Guelph because in the sciences the best stude nts are very selective consumers Theyre looking for the best program while theyre still in high school
Former CPS Dean now Vice-President AcademicjackMacDonald conceived MPCZ because he believed that the way physical sciences were
being taught was historical and antiquated He says the departmental divisions in universities are almost tribal in nature and often lead to an arbitrary and artificial division of subject matter
Professor MacDonald says MPCZ which will be offered for the first time in September is consistent with the Universitys aims and objectives and is also consistent with the learning objectives in that it takes a holistic viewpoint in the teaching and learning of the material
GLASSBLOWE RHONORED Unive rSity glassblower Anne Hostetter has been honored by the American Scientific Glassblowers Society (ASGS) in Cincinnati Ohio for her paper Quartz EPR Flat Cel The Fischer and Porter Company of Pennsylvania offers the annual Kermit-Fischer Award in recognition of the best paper presented at the previous years symposium
The paper is selected by a jury from the ASGS on the basis of content app li cat ion presentat ion style graphics use and text
A quartz EPR flat cell is a difficult piece of glassware to make Ms Hostetter says but it is useful in EPR spectroscopy because it allows the 5anlple to be pOSitioned in the densest part of the magnetic field without interfe rence from the electric component of the rad iation
Ms Hostetter has used the techshynique described in her paper sucshycessfully for eight to nine years She forms the flat sides of the cell from two pieces of quartz glass with bevelled edges When spaced proshyperly the bevelled glass forms a V into which a length ofquartz piping is fitted and melted to seal the edges The standard spacing between the two pieces of flat glass is 25 mm
although she has made cells as small as 12 mm and as large as I mm
A 25-minute educaHonal videotape about the technique described in Ms Hostetters paper is available through the ASGS

WOMEN IN SCIENCE GATHER
About 80 women gathered on campus in February to hear Dr Lynda Pinnington talk about career planning forwomen in science Dr Pinnjngton beads Pinn ington Associates of Cambridge a consulting firm that focuses on applied productivity improvement techniques for business and industry Discussants for the careers night were Brenda Bonnett OVC 79 a PhD sludent in the Department of Veterinary Micro shybiology and Immunology and Jan Kaufman Library who is on the Preshysidents Advisory Council day care task force
This was the second event planned by an informal group of women scienshytists at Guelph Professors Susan Mclver chair of the Department of Enviro nmenta l Bio logy Mary Beverley-Burton Zoology and Janet Wood Chemistry and Biochemistry have been the moving forces behind this organization which has blosshysomed into a nucleus of about a dozen women representing aU the science colleges at Guelph They say the groups purpose is to increase awareness of the role of women in science and the opportunities and obstacles they may encounter The group also encourages informal netshyworking and social contacts
Weve avoided creating a formal structure Professor McIver says Meetings are held on an irregular basis and there are no official officers
In addition to offering careers nights the group has compiled a list of women in science at Guelph using the criteria ofa degree in science and employment at the University
Questions raised by the group re shysulted in the updating of the 1975 report of the Presidents Task Force on the status of women at the ni shyversity which led to the formation of the Presidents Advisory Committee on Equal Rights for Men and Women at the University of Guelph This committee chaired by Professor McIver will release a report this spring

OAC GRADUATE WRITES FROM MOZAMBIQUE
Ruth Beilin born and raised in Guelph graduated jromjohn F Ross C VI and earned a BA and a Dipshyloma in Agriculture She worked at the University and in Saskatchewan before going to Papua New Guinea with CUSO as an agricultural extension worker There she met her husband an Australian lawyer who was working in rural development After two years in New Guinea she attended Reading University in England and received an MSc in Agriculture Extension She joinedher husband in Australia and together they apPlied to work on anAustralian government project in Mozambique This is the first ofher letters (written in the summer Of 1986) on life and development in that war-torn country Ruth can be contacted at the follOwing address CAA cP 356 Maputo Mozambique
Life in Mozambique is a series of contrasts and challenges The area where we live is a fertile coastal strip that has been cultivated for at least 50 years - some parts longer Coconut palms wave in the breeze - their languid trunks arching over the dense foliage of the cashew trees planted between their rows The latifundia system practised by the Portuguese meant that as a rule local families had less than two hectares each of usually marginal land to farm for subsistence purposltS and that generally they could not grow permanent tree crops on these family spaces Therefore the wealth from these crops remained with the colonial farmers
Today the state is just beginning a large land reform program What it will mean in real terms is difficult to assess given the huge numbers of dislocated families from the interior dry areas and more desperate war zones The theory is that these families will be able to return to their own farm lands and accumulate more land there assuming that the war and
Ruth Beilin OAC 74
these years of drought and fanline will soon be over
The Mozambicans survive on their abilities as farmers The suffering and deprivation have made them strong conservationists sensitive to their crops and soils But some of the obstacles they face are overwhelming - broken (Ools scarce seed loss of animals Everything is a struggle
Village meetings are stimulating and full of lengthy debate Storyshytelling animation dancing and singing form an important part of the culture The present govenunent has used these means (0 awaken a political consciousness among the people who tend to be passive and accept their circumstances
Our group is not radical but we are different and perhaps threatening to this passivity Mozambicans are tired from hard work long years of fighting a declining economy and many reorganizations of agricultural policy We talk about self-sufficiency (which translated means more work) We talk about development but in agricultural terms offer no pesticides (except naturally occuring ones) import no tractors or cultivators and generally seem to be less modern than the Portuguese who left ten years ago We are not just talking
about rehabilitation but a whole developmental philosophy which is distinct from the projects of other development agencies in nearby districts Although the communities we work in agree that the long-term benefits are valid they must wonder when life is going to become easier
Through all this nms the struggle in southern Africa - the link between the apartheid regime in South Africa and the war in Mozanlbique and indeed in aU the frontline states This war destabilizes the countryside and terrorizes the people rfhe longer we live here and witness this nightmare the more we realize that the end of the war will not be because of things or people in Mozambique This is a war supported by the foreign policies of the West Countries that continue to support South Africa give strength to the South African economy strength that is translated into soldiers anlIDunition supplies and support for the bandidosannados - the armed bandits fighting FREUMO the legal Mozambican govenunent
I could weep when President Reagan says the American support for Jonas Savimbi against the Angolan government and Americas refusal to impose sanctions on South Africa maintains the balance of power between East and West He should stand on the ground where the price is being paid and teU the mourning villagers the dying and the maimed that the world is a better place for this carnage and that the chess games ofthe big men are the real value of human life
Many other countries play sinillar ifsmaller or less direct roles with the future ofsouthern Africa The tragedy of this land is the riches and vast potent ial which attract olltside interest and cost it dearly in ternlS of human resources
James and I first heard about the Rural Development Project in August 1984 when we were working for Community Aid Abroad (CAA) in
24
Australia At that time there was optimism about Mozambique The Nkomati Peace Accord was to end South Mrkas support for the bandits in exchange for diminished support from Mozambique for the African National Congress The project was to be an integrated rural development scheme in health water and agrishyculture
But the war has not ended and it is a constant stumbling block to all aspirations and plans not to mention wearing on ones spirit Still that potential and challenge are alluring and we plod on down the developshyment road trying to build up organization and infrastructure Waiting for the day when things may normalize (After 10 years of war what is normal)
We arrived in Mozambique in April 1985 with James as project director and me as agriculturalist The health team ( a midwife and doctor ) and the community development worker arrived in late August and the water engineer in January 1986 The six of us live on the project site in a nleal district centre The official language is Portuguese and our official work is in that language However the people generally speak their own languages and so communication below the official level continues to be difficult Still they are very patient with our attempts to communicate and live in their communities
My own work is starting to become more visible Three agricultural technicians and I have organized a program of support for the fdmily sector in agriculture This is largely an education extension system that operates on three levels The first level consists of training zone representatives in practical demonshystrations ofagricultural techniques in their home area ( each zone has roughly 60 families and is represented by one man and woman chosen by their community) The zone reps are linked in training sessions and in countryside visits to the second level - an enquadradore who is basically the official link to the district agricultural system There are only five functioning enquadradores in a district of 110000 or more people so we had pound0 create the agricultural reps to make the enquadradores task possible The training program for the enquadradores is critically important because they have no agriculturaJ background but must collect and transmit agricultural information The third level is the agricultural technicians themselves These young counterparts are likely to be the directors and administrators of the future They are also the direct teaching link to the people
After months of meetings and discussions at every level of village and district structure we swung into operation with the agriculture reps
program and the horticultural crops campaign ThankfuUy some of the long-awaited tools - hoes bush knives and seeds - also arrived It is too early to know what the results might be but we are optimistic that with good rains and no bandits family sector food production will show an improvement this ftest season
James gets the thankless task of organizing logistics supplies deleshygations and the endless bookwork Often caught in the middle of our demands the reali ty of the Australian budget and the nightmare of transshyporting difficult ies he somehow remains Cltllm and diplomatic He spends three weeks in the project office in the district centre at the site and the fourth is spent in the capital Mapmo at the CAA office
Our daughter Leah makes a huge differe n ce to our lives The MozambiGms are enchanted by her James is known as the husband of the mother of the baby I am known as the mother of the baby and Leah is known by her own name throughout the area She comes out with me mornings and spends afternoons with James in the office
As always 1 necd to say morc than there is time for My hope is that this letter wi ll personalize what is happening in southern Africa so that more support will come to stop the war and the terrible sadness all around this region

OAC CO-OP PROGRAM POPULAR WITH STUDENTS AND EMPLOYERS
Co-op education is the only way to go says Janice Parker OAC 86 Her comment is reflective of the overall view held by co-op students and employers alike
The co-operative education proshygram which has been available to OAC students for the past five years formally integrates the students academic srudy with work experience in co-operating employer organishyzations Usually the student alternates four months ofsoldywith four months of work in the agricultu ral industry directly related to his or her field of study
The co-op program provided me with invaluable work experience in the food science field This experience also enabled me to get an overseas job (through an international exshychange association ) inmy field says Janice who worked as a research assistant in an alcohol company in Finland
Janice says the practical lessons learned on work tenus made classshyroom theory easier to understand She also says the co-op program gave her the benefits of increased selfshyconfidence and the ability to present herse lf well at a job interview Employment interviews generally occur on campus in the middle of the academic term preceding each work semester The interviews are comshypetitive in nature as are the salaries paid by employers which usually average S 1100-$ 1500 per month
Kenda Allen OAC 86 says the coshyop program definitely helps with finances Besides earning money you only pay for four months of your education at a time
While in the program Kenda worked terms as a fieldperson with the Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation as a horse show entry clerk with the Royal Wi nter fair and as a rural organization specialist assistant with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food She now works full-time as associate editor of the
Canadian Ay rshire Review which promotes the Ayrshire breed
My experience in the co-op program helped me obtain obtain my present job I al 0 made contacts which w ill continue to benefi t my career says Kenda
By working at a variety of jobs Kenda explains she was able to narrow down her options and fi nd the correct path to take
Kenda says she also enjoyed the break from the books every four months which allowed her to apply what she was learning
Equally Enthusiastic Employers are equally enthusiastic
about the program Paul Nelson OAC 70 MA 72 vice-preSident of manufacturing and technical services at Corporate Foods in Toronto participated in earlyplanning scssions for the co-op program He cant understand why anyone would not choose the p rogram and feels that ifit had been available when he was a student it would have been very beneficial to him
Paul says the program gives students and employers a chance to assess one another during a fXed time-frame If the students do well he says his company is committed to hiring them on a permanent basis when the opportunity arises We always tell them to keep in touch he says We have found Guelph sOldents to be eager capable and adaptable
Doug Flint OAC 85 who spent two work terms with Corporate Foods was hired permanently as a quality assurance and sanitation supervisor In his case the program came full circle when he hired Guelph co-op student Brenda Ternyik as his assistant last summer and Kelly Newell OAC 82 as his permanenr assistant recently
Doug says the program is a good method of screening for both students and employers It helped me decide what [ did and did not want to do career-wise and it set me up for a
permanent job The company in rum was hiring someone they already knew something about
Suzanne Raymond OAC 77 a research and development manager with Pillsbury Canada Ltd in Toronto says her company has hired many coshyop students as research and developshyment technicians Since product development is seasonal the four month time-frame for work terms is especially suitable for Pillsbury Students undertake short-term proshyjects where it would be uneconomical to hire full-time employees
Suzanne says Pillsbury originally got involved with the co-op program from a recruiting standpoint It gives us exposure to the students and we can test how well they work she says It also gives us exposure to I what is happening at the University in terms of research and the food industry
Suzanne says another benefit is the freshness and vitality students bring with them to the job She has found them on the whole to be very good workers
Louis Paul Ricard a manager with Cargill Ltd a grain company that services both domestic and export markets says the co-op program gives his company a good idea of the calibre of student coming out of university today The work they do is a real contribution to the company as well
Cargills first co-op student Don foster OAC 86 has been hired full shytime as a grain merchant While on work terms with CargiU he had jobs in both Ontario and Alberta Don says an advantage of the co-op program is the opportunity to live and work in different areas of the country
Cargill also hired the co -op programs first crop science graduate John Ormrod OAC 85 who now works in Saskatchewan

KEN MURRAY GIVING SOMETHING BACK TO THE UNIVERSITY
By Sandra Couch Public Relations and Information
The University of Guelphs capital campaign is an excellent opportunity for graduates to give something back to the institution which has given them so much says Ken Murray OAC 50 co-chairman of the Regional and chairman of the Associations comshymittees for The Campaign In recent years Ken has served as a member and chairman of the Board of Govershynors He was named a fellow of the University in 1983
Ken who is a corporate director of Kitchener-based JM Schneider Inc is channelling some of his time and co nsiderable ene rgies in to The Campaign in appreciation for what Guelph has given him
I have a great affinity for this campus he says One of the reasons I am involved in this campaign is to help keep the University relevant and vibrant Were educating students here for the next century
He believes alurrmi should get inshyvolved Indeed Ken believes any person who is a graduate of Guelph should get out and work for the University You cannot assume that other people are going to do all the work
Ken lauds the efforts of volunteers both on and off campus recognizing that without them The Campaign would not succeed His contagiOUS enthusiasm has earned him a reputashytion as a super-volunteer with staff in the Department of Alumni Affairs and Development The regional comshymittee co-chaired by Ken will be directly involved in raising an esti shymated $55 million for The Campaign from regional businesses and associashytions such as the Womens Institute livestock breed associations and agrishycultural products marketing boards The regional committee currently 28 strong and grOwing will approach some 200 southern Ontario businesses before The Campaign is finished
As Chairman of the Board of Governors a decade ago Ken believed
Super-volunteer Ken MunClY OAC 50 that a capital campaign was needed at Guelph He was a mcmber of the Campaign Advisory Council which was instrumental in doi ng the groundwork before The Canlpaign went public last September I want to be involved 1 want to raise the profile of this University in the busi shyness community he says The ni shyversity of Guelph has made an excellent start to this campaign of the 16 regional corporations Ken has approached so far only one could not give at this time

ENGLISH INSTRUCTION SUPERIOR IN CANADA
Dear Editor I have taught Human Anatomy and
Physiology for 24 years ( Deparlment ofBiological Sciences State University of New York College of Arts and Science at Plattsburgh New York) and last falL semester in addition to this subject I was asked to teach a new departmental offering Comshymunicating Biology
Because college undergraduates including graduating seniors for the most part write poorly particularly in their major our cOllege has decided to do something about this national problem we have instituted a college-wide rccruitment that all juniors must take the writing course now he ing offered within their rcspective majors
( was asked to teach this course on the basis of my writing abili ties as perceived by the biology faculty of this college Whatever strengths I have in this area they evolved prishymarilyas a result of my extensive preshycollege and college instruction in English composition and English literature in Ontario schooLs
I first recognized the advantages of tIns education in graduate schools in
the United States and subsequently I have become even more appreciative of this exten ive training as a faculty member involved in the preparation of grant proposals and research publications for the past 26 years
Unless there have been changes of which I anl unaware most certainly the instruction in English composition
and literature from both quantitative and qualitative aspects at all levels in Canadian schools is far superior to what is available across the border I hope some day we will close the gap

PRESIDENTS SCHOLARSHIPS EMPHASIZE LEADERSHIP
The Presidents Scholarships the Universitys most prestigious undershygraduate awards are designed to attract the cream of Canadian young people to Guelph
The 10 annual awards worth $16000 each over the course of an eight -semester honors degree will go to students with exceptional leadership qualities as well as acashydemic ability President Burt Matthews describes the prospective winners as people who will be leaders in society
The selection criteria are similar to those for the Winegard Medal One of the early medalists Christine Zink OVC 78 points to the importance of
the qualities Guelph is seeking in its students
it is very important that candishydates demonstrate a balance in their interests and activities When I was teaching at ove I came to know students who achieved AU averages by studying to the exclusion of all other activities These people did not contribute to the lives of others nor did such one-sided lives really benefit them After graduation job opporshytunities are gained and lost on the basis of ones ability to communicate with others Induding leadership skills and sportsmanship in the criteria for awards such as the Winegard Medal
and the Presidents Scholarships emphasizes the importance of leading a balanced life
Dr Zink is now doing post-doctoral research at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore studying viruses that cause diseases similar to AIDS in sheep and goats
The ftrst PresidentS Scholarship winners will he announced in June Before then nominees will be invited to visit campus and meet faculty in their areas of interest The winners wiU be honored at a lunch given by President Matthews in September Nominations made by school prinshycipals dosed April I

ARTS GRAD WINS KUDOS FOR STAGE PERFORMANCE
It took three years for Janet Land Arts 80 to make up her mind that she really wanted to be a professional actress After graduation from the University of Guelph she dabbled in amateur theatre and earned her Bachelor ofEducation at the University ofOttawa before taking the plunge and moving to Toronto to establish herself on the stage and in film
Now w i th four years on the professhysional circuit to her credit Janets career decision is paying off In March she finished touring to good reviews in the powerful drama Firedeveloped at Thunder Bays Magnus Theatre and co-produced by the National Arts Centre Theatre Company of Ottawa the Centaur Theatre Company of Montreal and the Citadel Theatre of Edmonton
Written by Paul Ledoux and David Young Fire is based very loosely on the life of musician Jerry Lee Lewis and his evangelist cousin J immy Swaggart It explores the conflict between the power of religion and the electric excitement of rock and roll
Janets role in Fire was Molly who is modelled very 100 ely on the 13shyyear-old cousin Lewis married
Shes a wonderful character who goes from tbe age of 13 to 35 says Janet She is caught between two men one a rock and roller the other a fimdanlentalist preacher
OfJanets performance the Globe and Mail wrote Janet Land is a capable actress who has a special knack for projecting what may be called intelligent sweetness And Molly is the only female role in the show a role that calls for a range from a 13 year olds naivete to the chastened near bitterness of early middle age Land is in a sense playing several different people and the character is more complex than might be imagined at first
Macleans wrote As MolJy King Land effortlessly porlrays the transformation from bubbly teenager to trim matron
With such reviews Janets name is becoming better know but it has
janet Land Arts 80
been an uphill clinlb During her first year as an actress when not many roles were coming her way she had to supplement her income by supply teaching and working part-time at Blacks Cameras Her first professional production was The Fantastiks at Leah Posluns Theatre in Toronto Although she played the lead ofLouisa in this musical it was a non-equity role Then she appeared in two Blyth Festival productions the comedy Cakewalk by Colleen Curran and the mystery A Spider in the House by Brian Tremblay Next she was invited to do a musical version of Scrooge at Theatre New Brunswick With these three professional productions she earned her Actors Equity card and is grateful to Blyth for giving her that opportunity
Janet has appeared in vMious teleshyvision commercials and had a small role in the CBC production Charlie Grants War For three months last summer she had fun playing Sister Mary Amnesia in Toronto Workshop Productions Nunsense and she also had a chance to workshop a new Canadian play called Little Miss Easter Seals an autobiography about polio victim Lina Chartrand The play was workshopped at Le Theatre du Petit Bonheur the only French theatre in Toronto Janets major at Guelph was French ( drama was her minor) and she is biligual
It was wonderful to work in
French I hope I get to do more plays in that language The French people are very passionate she says
Janet appeared in three Department ofDranla productions while attending Guelph - Chamber Music in 1977 The journey of the Fifth Horse in 1978 and The Miser in 1979 When she thinks of her training at Guelph she thinks of her drama professor Harry Lane who guided her through two of those productions
The highlight of my week used to be Monday morning dranu classes Wed start with coffee and those deli shycious Danishes from Massey Hall and then wed run through our exercises r learned not only about acting but the behind-the-scenes work like lighting and costumes as well Im grateful for that she recalls
Janet doesnt regret her decision to pursue an acting career She finds it very fulfilling She is even getting used to the insecurity ofnot knowing where the next rolc is coming from She didnt have any work lined up after Fire but was certain something would tum up
Something always does she added with the self-assuredness ofUl actress who is starting to be noticed
AT STRATFORD If youre planning to attend the Stratford Festival this year watch for Peter DonaldsOn Arts 15 Peter is appearing with The Young Company on the Third Stage as)acques in As You Like ltfrom May 28-5eptember p as Capulet in Romeo and ju1et from May 29September 5 and asMa on inJourneysElldfronl July14-SepteInber 5

Etta reads the Guelph Alumnus to keep up with what is happening at the University As well as changes in courses she likes to know about changes in buildings on campus When she was a student she lived in Macdonald Hall
Etta was more adventurous than other young women of her day Born in South Middleton Township in lS91 she attended school at SS 13 in Middleton and Tillsonburg High School until 1905 She graduated from London Normal School in 1909 and at the age of IS undertook her first teaching position at SS 1 Middleton with 49 students in Grades l-S under her sole supervision She continued teaching until 1915 when she decided to return to school to study domestic science at Guelph
After graduating she amwered an advertisement in the newspaper and headed West to take a job as dietitian and housekeeper in a 200-be d teaching hospital in Regina
I never worked so hard in my life Etta says of her year at the hospital Although she enjoyed the work When the year was up I was tired out she says So she accepted a teaching position at a prairie school at Tuxford Sask She taught there
Etta (Birdsall) Gamham Mac 17D
until the flu epidemic in 1918 closed all the schools She then turned her attention to nursing the sick until she got the flu herself
She can still remember being bedshyridden at the home of a farm family when she heard the news on Novemshy
ber 11 1915 thatthe First World War had ended
Etta returned home in 1919 to teach first in St Catharines then at Mabees Corners and finally at Guysboro where she met her husband Lee the eligible young farmer who lived across the road from the school They were married in July of 1921 and enjoyed 62 years together before his death four years ago
She continued teaching afte r marriage but only when she was needed she says because farm work kept her busy then
Ive had a lovely life Etta says And although she is now confined to a wheelchair she says shes been as healthy as can be all my life
Asked if there is any secret to her longevity she quickly responds choose your grandfather wisely because you inherit your health She points out her own father lived to be 99 and her grandmother lived to be 100

MILESTONE CE EBRATION FOR OVC
With a flourish of kilts and bagshypipes OVC began celebrating its 125th birthday February 12 The COllege is the oldest veterinary school in continuous operation in North and South America
A special lecture by eminent Scotshytish scientist Dr WilJiam FH Jarrett whose work pioneered AIDS research commemorated the founding of the College and the unique contributions of the veterinary medical profession in the advancement of scientific knowledge and disease control
Dr Jarrett of the University of Glasgow Veterinary School gave a public lecture Vacdnation Against Retroviruses From FAIDS to AIDS His work on Feline Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (FAIDS) has been the basis for subsequent research into AIDS
Dr jarretts lecture took place in War Memorial Hall exactly 125 years after OVCs inaugural address was delivered in Toronto by another Scotsman founder Andrew Smith
Dr Smi th a graduate of the Edinburgh School of Veterinary Medicine was brought to Toronto by the Board of Agriculture of Upper Canada to open a veterinary practice and provide instruction He operated the school under private charter in Toronto until 1908 when it became aftlliated with the University of Toronto nle College moved to Guelph in 1922 becoming a coshyoperative neighbor for the OAC The two later joined with Macdonald Institute to become the founding Colleges of the University of Guelph in 1964
Since the issue of Dr Smiths charshyter the College has contributed substantially to the improvement of public health says OVC Dean Ole Nielsen College faculty were instrushymenta] in the development of milkshytesting programs for mastitis and were involved in the livestock vaccination and testing programs that led to the elimination of tuberculosis and brucellosis in humans and animals
In keeping with the Scottish theme Dr Dean Percy ave 57 MSc 66 a professor in the Department OfPathology piped Dr William PH Jarrett into War Memorial Hall for his special lecture February 12 Also in the procession were President Burt Matthews ave Dean Ole Nielsen specially invited ave retirees andplatform guests (Photo by Tim Sullivan)
They were pioneers in domestic ani shymal surgery and among the first veterinarians to adopt modem surgical techniques Faculty researchers also perfected techniques for the artificial insemination ofdairy cattle and swine and for freezing bull semen
Researdl efforts have continually expanded in areas of comparative medicine where human and vetershyinary medicine cross paths The College is now at the forefront of research on organ transplants and bone surgery and research is proshyceeding in other areas of potential benefit to human medicine including genetically engineered vaccines and cancer research
Each year thousands ofanimals are brought to the ColJege for study and treatment The 2000 patients treated at the large animal clinic last year included an elephant a kangaroo and a gnu Almost 8000 animals visited the small animal clinic and more than 16000 farm animals - mostly cattle
- were seen in the ambulatory clinics herd health program The Colleges wild bird clinic is the only one of its kind in Canada
OVCs department of patholOgy is the Norlh American centre for reshysearch on marine animals and the Canadian centre for diagnostic expershytise in fish pathology The College is closely affiliated with the new Guelph Centre for Equine Research
OVCs influence on the intershynational scene has been substantial Students comefrom around the world (0 study at the undergraduate gradshyuate and post-graduate levels In 1974 the College joined the Canadian international Development Agency in establishing a veterinary school in Malaysia the first in southeast Asia
Celebrations for OVCs 125th birthday will continue throughout the year A highlight onJune 19 is the official opening of the Colleges new Sl35-million large animal faCility

PROGRAM AIMS TO ATTRACT BRIGHTEST STUDENTS
By Sandra Couch Public Relations and Information
The Universitys share of the best and brightest first-year students in the physical sciences could well increase with the introduction of a challenging interdisciplinary one-year pilot project called MPC2 (for Mathematics-Physics-Chemistry-Comshyputing Science ) says Professor Ernie McFarland Physics
Professor McFarland chairman of the CPS interdiSciplinary curriculum committee says the basic introductory courses now in place were designed to serve all tbe students in classes that often reach 300 in size Very bright students the committee found were not as stimulated as they could have been
With the courses as they werewe were not attracting the quantity or quality of students we hoped in areas like physics chemistry and bioshychemistry mathematiCs statistics and computing science says Professor McFarland
The committee has designed a number of new first-year courses which require a minimum average of 80 per cent for admission The courses will combine mathematics physics chemistry and computing and are structured to foster a better appreshyciation of the inter-connections between the disCiplines says Professor McFarland The more challenging courses will also enable bright highly qualified and motivated students to choose one or two additional elective courses in their first year
Professor McFarland admits the project is a departure from the usual departmental philosophy and says the one-year trial period will allow CPS to crawl before we walk He says a successful evaluation at the end of the trial period could lead to possible joint degrees in the areas of physics and chemistry or mathematics and computing
It could well be the first stage for a number of other interdisciplinary ventures in the College beyond the
first -year level says Professor Mcfarland
Acting CPS Dean Rod Gentry says the new intensive program will likely attrlct more of the best students to Guelph because in the sciences the best stude nts are very selective consumers Theyre looking for the best program while theyre still in high school
Former CPS Dean now Vice-President AcademicjackMacDonald conceived MPCZ because he believed that the way physical sciences were
being taught was historical and antiquated He says the departmental divisions in universities are almost tribal in nature and often lead to an arbitrary and artificial division of subject matter
Professor MacDonald says MPCZ which will be offered for the first time in September is consistent with the Universitys aims and objectives and is also consistent with the learning objectives in that it takes a holistic viewpoint in the teaching and learning of the material
GLASSBLOWE RHONORED Unive rSity glassblower Anne Hostetter has been honored by the American Scientific Glassblowers Society (ASGS) in Cincinnati Ohio for her paper Quartz EPR Flat Cel The Fischer and Porter Company of Pennsylvania offers the annual Kermit-Fischer Award in recognition of the best paper presented at the previous years symposium
The paper is selected by a jury from the ASGS on the basis of content app li cat ion presentat ion style graphics use and text
A quartz EPR flat cell is a difficult piece of glassware to make Ms Hostetter says but it is useful in EPR spectroscopy because it allows the 5anlple to be pOSitioned in the densest part of the magnetic field without interfe rence from the electric component of the rad iation
Ms Hostetter has used the techshynique described in her paper sucshycessfully for eight to nine years She forms the flat sides of the cell from two pieces of quartz glass with bevelled edges When spaced proshyperly the bevelled glass forms a V into which a length ofquartz piping is fitted and melted to seal the edges The standard spacing between the two pieces of flat glass is 25 mm
although she has made cells as small as 12 mm and as large as I mm
A 25-minute educaHonal videotape about the technique described in Ms Hostetters paper is available through the ASGS

WOMEN IN SCIENCE GATHER
About 80 women gathered on campus in February to hear Dr Lynda Pinnington talk about career planning forwomen in science Dr Pinnjngton beads Pinn ington Associates of Cambridge a consulting firm that focuses on applied productivity improvement techniques for business and industry Discussants for the careers night were Brenda Bonnett OVC 79 a PhD sludent in the Department of Veterinary Micro shybiology and Immunology and Jan Kaufman Library who is on the Preshysidents Advisory Council day care task force
This was the second event planned by an informal group of women scienshytists at Guelph Professors Susan Mclver chair of the Department of Enviro nmenta l Bio logy Mary Beverley-Burton Zoology and Janet Wood Chemistry and Biochemistry have been the moving forces behind this organization which has blosshysomed into a nucleus of about a dozen women representing aU the science colleges at Guelph They say the groups purpose is to increase awareness of the role of women in science and the opportunities and obstacles they may encounter The group also encourages informal netshyworking and social contacts
Weve avoided creating a formal structure Professor McIver says Meetings are held on an irregular basis and there are no official officers
In addition to offering careers nights the group has compiled a list of women in science at Guelph using the criteria ofa degree in science and employment at the University
Questions raised by the group re shysulted in the updating of the 1975 report of the Presidents Task Force on the status of women at the ni shyversity which led to the formation of the Presidents Advisory Committee on Equal Rights for Men and Women at the University of Guelph This committee chaired by Professor McIver will release a report this spring

OAC GRADUATE WRITES FROM MOZAMBIQUE
Ruth Beilin born and raised in Guelph graduated jromjohn F Ross C VI and earned a BA and a Dipshyloma in Agriculture She worked at the University and in Saskatchewan before going to Papua New Guinea with CUSO as an agricultural extension worker There she met her husband an Australian lawyer who was working in rural development After two years in New Guinea she attended Reading University in England and received an MSc in Agriculture Extension She joinedher husband in Australia and together they apPlied to work on anAustralian government project in Mozambique This is the first ofher letters (written in the summer Of 1986) on life and development in that war-torn country Ruth can be contacted at the follOwing address CAA cP 356 Maputo Mozambique
Life in Mozambique is a series of contrasts and challenges The area where we live is a fertile coastal strip that has been cultivated for at least 50 years - some parts longer Coconut palms wave in the breeze - their languid trunks arching over the dense foliage of the cashew trees planted between their rows The latifundia system practised by the Portuguese meant that as a rule local families had less than two hectares each of usually marginal land to farm for subsistence purposltS and that generally they could not grow permanent tree crops on these family spaces Therefore the wealth from these crops remained with the colonial farmers
Today the state is just beginning a large land reform program What it will mean in real terms is difficult to assess given the huge numbers of dislocated families from the interior dry areas and more desperate war zones The theory is that these families will be able to return to their own farm lands and accumulate more land there assuming that the war and
Ruth Beilin OAC 74
these years of drought and fanline will soon be over
The Mozambicans survive on their abilities as farmers The suffering and deprivation have made them strong conservationists sensitive to their crops and soils But some of the obstacles they face are overwhelming - broken (Ools scarce seed loss of animals Everything is a struggle
Village meetings are stimulating and full of lengthy debate Storyshytelling animation dancing and singing form an important part of the culture The present govenunent has used these means (0 awaken a political consciousness among the people who tend to be passive and accept their circumstances
Our group is not radical but we are different and perhaps threatening to this passivity Mozambicans are tired from hard work long years of fighting a declining economy and many reorganizations of agricultural policy We talk about self-sufficiency (which translated means more work) We talk about development but in agricultural terms offer no pesticides (except naturally occuring ones) import no tractors or cultivators and generally seem to be less modern than the Portuguese who left ten years ago We are not just talking
about rehabilitation but a whole developmental philosophy which is distinct from the projects of other development agencies in nearby districts Although the communities we work in agree that the long-term benefits are valid they must wonder when life is going to become easier
Through all this nms the struggle in southern Africa - the link between the apartheid regime in South Africa and the war in Mozanlbique and indeed in aU the frontline states This war destabilizes the countryside and terrorizes the people rfhe longer we live here and witness this nightmare the more we realize that the end of the war will not be because of things or people in Mozambique This is a war supported by the foreign policies of the West Countries that continue to support South Africa give strength to the South African economy strength that is translated into soldiers anlIDunition supplies and support for the bandidosannados - the armed bandits fighting FREUMO the legal Mozambican govenunent
I could weep when President Reagan says the American support for Jonas Savimbi against the Angolan government and Americas refusal to impose sanctions on South Africa maintains the balance of power between East and West He should stand on the ground where the price is being paid and teU the mourning villagers the dying and the maimed that the world is a better place for this carnage and that the chess games ofthe big men are the real value of human life
Many other countries play sinillar ifsmaller or less direct roles with the future ofsouthern Africa The tragedy of this land is the riches and vast potent ial which attract olltside interest and cost it dearly in ternlS of human resources
James and I first heard about the Rural Development Project in August 1984 when we were working for Community Aid Abroad (CAA) in
24
Australia At that time there was optimism about Mozambique The Nkomati Peace Accord was to end South Mrkas support for the bandits in exchange for diminished support from Mozambique for the African National Congress The project was to be an integrated rural development scheme in health water and agrishyculture
But the war has not ended and it is a constant stumbling block to all aspirations and plans not to mention wearing on ones spirit Still that potential and challenge are alluring and we plod on down the developshyment road trying to build up organization and infrastructure Waiting for the day when things may normalize (After 10 years of war what is normal)
We arrived in Mozambique in April 1985 with James as project director and me as agriculturalist The health team ( a midwife and doctor ) and the community development worker arrived in late August and the water engineer in January 1986 The six of us live on the project site in a nleal district centre The official language is Portuguese and our official work is in that language However the people generally speak their own languages and so communication below the official level continues to be difficult Still they are very patient with our attempts to communicate and live in their communities
My own work is starting to become more visible Three agricultural technicians and I have organized a program of support for the fdmily sector in agriculture This is largely an education extension system that operates on three levels The first level consists of training zone representatives in practical demonshystrations ofagricultural techniques in their home area ( each zone has roughly 60 families and is represented by one man and woman chosen by their community) The zone reps are linked in training sessions and in countryside visits to the second level - an enquadradore who is basically the official link to the district agricultural system There are only five functioning enquadradores in a district of 110000 or more people so we had pound0 create the agricultural reps to make the enquadradores task possible The training program for the enquadradores is critically important because they have no agriculturaJ background but must collect and transmit agricultural information The third level is the agricultural technicians themselves These young counterparts are likely to be the directors and administrators of the future They are also the direct teaching link to the people
After months of meetings and discussions at every level of village and district structure we swung into operation with the agriculture reps
program and the horticultural crops campaign ThankfuUy some of the long-awaited tools - hoes bush knives and seeds - also arrived It is too early to know what the results might be but we are optimistic that with good rains and no bandits family sector food production will show an improvement this ftest season
James gets the thankless task of organizing logistics supplies deleshygations and the endless bookwork Often caught in the middle of our demands the reali ty of the Australian budget and the nightmare of transshyporting difficult ies he somehow remains Cltllm and diplomatic He spends three weeks in the project office in the district centre at the site and the fourth is spent in the capital Mapmo at the CAA office
Our daughter Leah makes a huge differe n ce to our lives The MozambiGms are enchanted by her James is known as the husband of the mother of the baby I am known as the mother of the baby and Leah is known by her own name throughout the area She comes out with me mornings and spends afternoons with James in the office
As always 1 necd to say morc than there is time for My hope is that this letter wi ll personalize what is happening in southern Africa so that more support will come to stop the war and the terrible sadness all around this region

OAC CO-OP PROGRAM POPULAR WITH STUDENTS AND EMPLOYERS
Co-op education is the only way to go says Janice Parker OAC 86 Her comment is reflective of the overall view held by co-op students and employers alike
The co-operative education proshygram which has been available to OAC students for the past five years formally integrates the students academic srudy with work experience in co-operating employer organishyzations Usually the student alternates four months ofsoldywith four months of work in the agricultu ral industry directly related to his or her field of study
The co-op program provided me with invaluable work experience in the food science field This experience also enabled me to get an overseas job (through an international exshychange association ) inmy field says Janice who worked as a research assistant in an alcohol company in Finland
Janice says the practical lessons learned on work tenus made classshyroom theory easier to understand She also says the co-op program gave her the benefits of increased selfshyconfidence and the ability to present herse lf well at a job interview Employment interviews generally occur on campus in the middle of the academic term preceding each work semester The interviews are comshypetitive in nature as are the salaries paid by employers which usually average S 1100-$ 1500 per month
Kenda Allen OAC 86 says the coshyop program definitely helps with finances Besides earning money you only pay for four months of your education at a time
While in the program Kenda worked terms as a fieldperson with the Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation as a horse show entry clerk with the Royal Wi nter fair and as a rural organization specialist assistant with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food She now works full-time as associate editor of the
Canadian Ay rshire Review which promotes the Ayrshire breed
My experience in the co-op program helped me obtain obtain my present job I al 0 made contacts which w ill continue to benefi t my career says Kenda
By working at a variety of jobs Kenda explains she was able to narrow down her options and fi nd the correct path to take
Kenda says she also enjoyed the break from the books every four months which allowed her to apply what she was learning
Equally Enthusiastic Employers are equally enthusiastic
about the program Paul Nelson OAC 70 MA 72 vice-preSident of manufacturing and technical services at Corporate Foods in Toronto participated in earlyplanning scssions for the co-op program He cant understand why anyone would not choose the p rogram and feels that ifit had been available when he was a student it would have been very beneficial to him
Paul says the program gives students and employers a chance to assess one another during a fXed time-frame If the students do well he says his company is committed to hiring them on a permanent basis when the opportunity arises We always tell them to keep in touch he says We have found Guelph sOldents to be eager capable and adaptable
Doug Flint OAC 85 who spent two work terms with Corporate Foods was hired permanently as a quality assurance and sanitation supervisor In his case the program came full circle when he hired Guelph co-op student Brenda Ternyik as his assistant last summer and Kelly Newell OAC 82 as his permanenr assistant recently
Doug says the program is a good method of screening for both students and employers It helped me decide what [ did and did not want to do career-wise and it set me up for a
permanent job The company in rum was hiring someone they already knew something about
Suzanne Raymond OAC 77 a research and development manager with Pillsbury Canada Ltd in Toronto says her company has hired many coshyop students as research and developshyment technicians Since product development is seasonal the four month time-frame for work terms is especially suitable for Pillsbury Students undertake short-term proshyjects where it would be uneconomical to hire full-time employees
Suzanne says Pillsbury originally got involved with the co-op program from a recruiting standpoint It gives us exposure to the students and we can test how well they work she says It also gives us exposure to I what is happening at the University in terms of research and the food industry
Suzanne says another benefit is the freshness and vitality students bring with them to the job She has found them on the whole to be very good workers
Louis Paul Ricard a manager with Cargill Ltd a grain company that services both domestic and export markets says the co-op program gives his company a good idea of the calibre of student coming out of university today The work they do is a real contribution to the company as well
Cargills first co-op student Don foster OAC 86 has been hired full shytime as a grain merchant While on work terms with CargiU he had jobs in both Ontario and Alberta Don says an advantage of the co-op program is the opportunity to live and work in different areas of the country
Cargill also hired the co -op programs first crop science graduate John Ormrod OAC 85 who now works in Saskatchewan

KEN MURRAY GIVING SOMETHING BACK TO THE UNIVERSITY
By Sandra Couch Public Relations and Information
The University of Guelphs capital campaign is an excellent opportunity for graduates to give something back to the institution which has given them so much says Ken Murray OAC 50 co-chairman of the Regional and chairman of the Associations comshymittees for The Campaign In recent years Ken has served as a member and chairman of the Board of Govershynors He was named a fellow of the University in 1983
Ken who is a corporate director of Kitchener-based JM Schneider Inc is channelling some of his time and co nsiderable ene rgies in to The Campaign in appreciation for what Guelph has given him
I have a great affinity for this campus he says One of the reasons I am involved in this campaign is to help keep the University relevant and vibrant Were educating students here for the next century
He believes alurrmi should get inshyvolved Indeed Ken believes any person who is a graduate of Guelph should get out and work for the University You cannot assume that other people are going to do all the work
Ken lauds the efforts of volunteers both on and off campus recognizing that without them The Campaign would not succeed His contagiOUS enthusiasm has earned him a reputashytion as a super-volunteer with staff in the Department of Alumni Affairs and Development The regional comshymittee co-chaired by Ken will be directly involved in raising an esti shymated $55 million for The Campaign from regional businesses and associashytions such as the Womens Institute livestock breed associations and agrishycultural products marketing boards The regional committee currently 28 strong and grOwing will approach some 200 southern Ontario businesses before The Campaign is finished
As Chairman of the Board of Governors a decade ago Ken believed
Super-volunteer Ken MunClY OAC 50 that a capital campaign was needed at Guelph He was a mcmber of the Campaign Advisory Council which was instrumental in doi ng the groundwork before The Canlpaign went public last September I want to be involved 1 want to raise the profile of this University in the busi shyness community he says The ni shyversity of Guelph has made an excellent start to this campaign of the 16 regional corporations Ken has approached so far only one could not give at this time
With Marilyn Robinson Mac 55of Alumni Affairs and Development Ken plans to approach virtually every trade
association and marketing board re shylated to agriculture The response to date has been very positive says Marilyn who adds that at one proshyducer organization more than halfof the members had some connection with the University of Guelph
Ken is very vocal in his belief that Guelph graduates should get involved in The Campaign by making a financial contribution and if possible by volunteering their time (0 help out This University has given us a great deal We owe something in reulrn
HALFWAY THERE
Seven months after the launch ofits five -year capital campaign the nivcrsity was almost halfshyway toward its 86o million goal As f March 31 contributions to The Campaign tota ll ed $29971 022
Im delighted we have reached this milestone ahead of schedule says Marjorie Millar director Alumni Affairs and Development Now that the momentum is there she says we ve got to keep it going we need the support of alumni as we continue to stretch for the next milestone

Because college undergraduates including graduating seniors for the most part write poorly particularly in their major our cOllege has decided to do something about this national problem we have instituted a college-wide rccruitment that all juniors must take the writing course now he ing offered within their rcspective majors
( was asked to teach this course on the basis of my writing abili ties as perceived by the biology faculty of this college Whatever strengths I have in this area they evolved prishymarilyas a result of my extensive preshycollege and college instruction in English composition and English literature in Ontario schooLs
I first recognized the advantages of tIns education in graduate schools in
the United States and subsequently I have become even more appreciative of this exten ive training as a faculty member involved in the preparation of grant proposals and research publications for the past 26 years
Unless there have been changes of which I anl unaware most certainly the instruction in English composition
and literature from both quantitative and qualitative aspects at all levels in Canadian schools is far superior to what is available across the border I hope some day we will close the gap

The 10 annual awards worth $16000 each over the course of an eight -semester honors degree will go to students with exceptional leadership qualities as well as acashydemic ability President Burt Matthews describes the prospective winners as people who will be leaders in society
The selection criteria are similar to those for the Winegard Medal One of the early medalists Christine Zink OVC 78 points to the importance of
the qualities Guelph is seeking in its students
it is very important that candishydates demonstrate a balance in their interests and activities When I was teaching at ove I came to know students who achieved AU averages by studying to the exclusion of all other activities These people did not contribute to the lives of others nor did such one-sided lives really benefit them After graduation job opporshytunities are gained and lost on the basis of ones ability to communicate with others Induding leadership skills and sportsmanship in the criteria for awards such as the Winegard Medal
and the Presidents Scholarships emphasizes the importance of leading a balanced life
Dr Zink is now doing post-doctoral research at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore studying viruses that cause diseases similar to AIDS in sheep and goats
The ftrst PresidentS Scholarship winners will he announced in June Before then nominees will be invited to visit campus and meet faculty in their areas of interest The winners wiU be honored at a lunch given by President Matthews in September Nominations made by school prinshycipals dosed April I

ARTS GRAD WINS KUDOS FOR STAGE PERFORMANCE
It took three years for Janet Land Arts 80 to make up her mind that she really wanted to be a professional actress After graduation from the University of Guelph she dabbled in amateur theatre and earned her Bachelor ofEducation at the University ofOttawa before taking the plunge and moving to Toronto to establish herself on the stage and in film
Now w i th four years on the professhysional circuit to her credit Janets career decision is paying off In March she finished touring to good reviews in the powerful drama Firedeveloped at Thunder Bays Magnus Theatre and co-produced by the National Arts Centre Theatre Company of Ottawa the Centaur Theatre Company of Montreal and the Citadel Theatre of Edmonton
Written by Paul Ledoux and David Young Fire is based very loosely on the life of musician Jerry Lee Lewis and his evangelist cousin J immy Swaggart It explores the conflict between the power of religion and the electric excitement of rock and roll
Janets role in Fire was Molly who is modelled very 100 ely on the 13shyyear-old cousin Lewis married
Shes a wonderful character who goes from tbe age of 13 to 35 says Janet She is caught between two men one a rock and roller the other a fimdanlentalist preacher
OfJanets performance the Globe and Mail wrote Janet Land is a capable actress who has a special knack for projecting what may be called intelligent sweetness And Molly is the only female role in the show a role that calls for a range from a 13 year olds naivete to the chastened near bitterness of early middle age Land is in a sense playing several different people and the character is more complex than might be imagined at first
Macleans wrote As MolJy King Land effortlessly porlrays the transformation from bubbly teenager to trim matron
With such reviews Janets name is becoming better know but it has
janet Land Arts 80
been an uphill clinlb During her first year as an actress when not many roles were coming her way she had to supplement her income by supply teaching and working part-time at Blacks Cameras Her first professional production was The Fantastiks at Leah Posluns Theatre in Toronto Although she played the lead ofLouisa in this musical it was a non-equity role Then she appeared in two Blyth Festival productions the comedy Cakewalk by Colleen Curran and the mystery A Spider in the House by Brian Tremblay Next she was invited to do a musical version of Scrooge at Theatre New Brunswick With these three professional productions she earned her Actors Equity card and is grateful to Blyth for giving her that opportunity
Janet has appeared in vMious teleshyvision commercials and had a small role in the CBC production Charlie Grants War For three months last summer she had fun playing Sister Mary Amnesia in Toronto Workshop Productions Nunsense and she also had a chance to workshop a new Canadian play called Little Miss Easter Seals an autobiography about polio victim Lina Chartrand The play was workshopped at Le Theatre du Petit Bonheur the only French theatre in Toronto Janets major at Guelph was French ( drama was her minor) and she is biligual
It was wonderful to work in
French I hope I get to do more plays in that language The French people are very passionate she says
Janet appeared in three Department ofDranla productions while attending Guelph - Chamber Music in 1977 The journey of the Fifth Horse in 1978 and The Miser in 1979 When she thinks of her training at Guelph she thinks of her drama professor Harry Lane who guided her through two of those productions
The highlight of my week used to be Monday morning dranu classes Wed start with coffee and those deli shycious Danishes from Massey Hall and then wed run through our exercises r learned not only about acting but the behind-the-scenes work like lighting and costumes as well Im grateful for that she recalls
Janet doesnt regret her decision to pursue an acting career She finds it very fulfilling She is even getting used to the insecurity ofnot knowing where the next rolc is coming from She didnt have any work lined up after Fire but was certain something would tum up
Something always does she added with the self-assuredness ofUl actress who is starting to be noticed
AT STRATFORD If youre planning to attend the Stratford Festival this year watch for Peter DonaldsOn Arts 15 Peter is appearing with The Young Company on the Third Stage as)acques in As You Like ltfrom May 28-5eptember p as Capulet in Romeo and ju1et from May 29September 5 and asMa on inJourneysElldfronl July14-SepteInber 5

She continued teaching afte r marriage but only when she was needed she says because farm work kept her busy then
Ive had a lovely life Etta says And although she is now confined to a wheelchair she says shes been as healthy as can be all my life
Asked if there is any secret to her longevity she quickly responds choose your grandfather wisely because you inherit your health She points out her own father lived to be 99 and her grandmother lived to be 100

MILESTONE CE EBRATION FOR OVC
With a flourish of kilts and bagshypipes OVC began celebrating its 125th birthday February 12 The COllege is the oldest veterinary school in continuous operation in North and South America
A special lecture by eminent Scotshytish scientist Dr WilJiam FH Jarrett whose work pioneered AIDS research commemorated the founding of the College and the unique contributions of the veterinary medical profession in the advancement of scientific knowledge and disease control
Dr Jarrett of the University of Glasgow Veterinary School gave a public lecture Vacdnation Against Retroviruses From FAIDS to AIDS His work on Feline Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (FAIDS) has been the basis for subsequent research into AIDS
Dr jarretts lecture took place in War Memorial Hall exactly 125 years after OVCs inaugural address was delivered in Toronto by another Scotsman founder Andrew Smith
Dr Smi th a graduate of the Edinburgh School of Veterinary Medicine was brought to Toronto by the Board of Agriculture of Upper Canada to open a veterinary practice and provide instruction He operated the school under private charter in Toronto until 1908 when it became aftlliated with the University of Toronto nle College moved to Guelph in 1922 becoming a coshyoperative neighbor for the OAC The two later joined with Macdonald Institute to become the founding Colleges of the University of Guelph in 1964
Since the issue of Dr Smiths charshyter the College has contributed substantially to the improvement of public health says OVC Dean Ole Nielsen College faculty were instrushymenta] in the development of milkshytesting programs for mastitis and were involved in the livestock vaccination and testing programs that led to the elimination of tuberculosis and brucellosis in humans and animals
In keeping with the Scottish theme Dr Dean Percy ave 57 MSc 66 a professor in the Department OfPathology piped Dr William PH Jarrett into War Memorial Hall for his special lecture February 12 Also in the procession were President Burt Matthews ave Dean Ole Nielsen specially invited ave retirees andplatform guests (Photo by Tim Sullivan)
They were pioneers in domestic ani shymal surgery and among the first veterinarians to adopt modem surgical techniques Faculty researchers also perfected techniques for the artificial insemination ofdairy cattle and swine and for freezing bull semen
Researdl efforts have continually expanded in areas of comparative medicine where human and vetershyinary medicine cross paths The College is now at the forefront of research on organ transplants and bone surgery and research is proshyceeding in other areas of potential benefit to human medicine including genetically engineered vaccines and cancer research
Each year thousands ofanimals are brought to the ColJege for study and treatment The 2000 patients treated at the large animal clinic last year included an elephant a kangaroo and a gnu Almost 8000 animals visited the small animal clinic and more than 16000 farm animals - mostly cattle
- were seen in the ambulatory clinics herd health program The Colleges wild bird clinic is the only one of its kind in Canada
OVCs department of patholOgy is the Norlh American centre for reshysearch on marine animals and the Canadian centre for diagnostic expershytise in fish pathology The College is closely affiliated with the new Guelph Centre for Equine Research
OVCs influence on the intershynational scene has been substantial Students comefrom around the world (0 study at the undergraduate gradshyuate and post-graduate levels In 1974 the College joined the Canadian international Development Agency in establishing a veterinary school in Malaysia the first in southeast Asia
Celebrations for OVCs 125th birthday will continue throughout the year A highlight onJune 19 is the official opening of the Colleges new Sl35-million large animal faCility

PROGRAM AIMS TO ATTRACT BRIGHTEST STUDENTS
By Sandra Couch Public Relations and Information
The Universitys share of the best and brightest first-year students in the physical sciences could well increase with the introduction of a challenging interdisciplinary one-year pilot project called MPC2 (for Mathematics-Physics-Chemistry-Comshyputing Science ) says Professor Ernie McFarland Physics
Professor McFarland chairman of the CPS interdiSciplinary curriculum committee says the basic introductory courses now in place were designed to serve all tbe students in classes that often reach 300 in size Very bright students the committee found were not as stimulated as they could have been
With the courses as they werewe were not attracting the quantity or quality of students we hoped in areas like physics chemistry and bioshychemistry mathematiCs statistics and computing science says Professor McFarland
The committee has designed a number of new first-year courses which require a minimum average of 80 per cent for admission The courses will combine mathematics physics chemistry and computing and are structured to foster a better appreshyciation of the inter-connections between the disCiplines says Professor McFarland The more challenging courses will also enable bright highly qualified and motivated students to choose one or two additional elective courses in their first year
Professor McFarland admits the project is a departure from the usual departmental philosophy and says the one-year trial period will allow CPS to crawl before we walk He says a successful evaluation at the end of the trial period could lead to possible joint degrees in the areas of physics and chemistry or mathematics and computing
It could well be the first stage for a number of other interdisciplinary ventures in the College beyond the
first -year level says Professor Mcfarland
Acting CPS Dean Rod Gentry says the new intensive program will likely attrlct more of the best students to Guelph because in the sciences the best stude nts are very selective consumers Theyre looking for the best program while theyre still in high school
Former CPS Dean now Vice-President AcademicjackMacDonald conceived MPCZ because he believed that the way physical sciences were
being taught was historical and antiquated He says the departmental divisions in universities are almost tribal in nature and often lead to an arbitrary and artificial division of subject matter
Professor MacDonald says MPCZ which will be offered for the first time in September is consistent with the Universitys aims and objectives and is also consistent with the learning objectives in that it takes a holistic viewpoint in the teaching and learning of the material
GLASSBLOWE RHONORED Unive rSity glassblower Anne Hostetter has been honored by the American Scientific Glassblowers Society (ASGS) in Cincinnati Ohio for her paper Quartz EPR Flat Cel The Fischer and Porter Company of Pennsylvania offers the annual Kermit-Fischer Award in recognition of the best paper presented at the previous years symposium
The paper is selected by a jury from the ASGS on the basis of content app li cat ion presentat ion style graphics use and text
A quartz EPR flat cell is a difficult piece of glassware to make Ms Hostetter says but it is useful in EPR spectroscopy because it allows the 5anlple to be pOSitioned in the densest part of the magnetic field without interfe rence from the electric component of the rad iation
Ms Hostetter has used the techshynique described in her paper sucshycessfully for eight to nine years She forms the flat sides of the cell from two pieces of quartz glass with bevelled edges When spaced proshyperly the bevelled glass forms a V into which a length ofquartz piping is fitted and melted to seal the edges The standard spacing between the two pieces of flat glass is 25 mm
although she has made cells as small as 12 mm and as large as I mm
A 25-minute educaHonal videotape about the technique described in Ms Hostetters paper is available through the ASGS

WOMEN IN SCIENCE GATHER
About 80 women gathered on campus in February to hear Dr Lynda Pinnington talk about career planning forwomen in science Dr Pinnjngton beads Pinn ington Associates of Cambridge a consulting firm that focuses on applied productivity improvement techniques for business and industry Discussants for the careers night were Brenda Bonnett OVC 79 a PhD sludent in the Department of Veterinary Micro shybiology and Immunology and Jan Kaufman Library who is on the Preshysidents Advisory Council day care task force
This was the second event planned by an informal group of women scienshytists at Guelph Professors Susan Mclver chair of the Department of Enviro nmenta l Bio logy Mary Beverley-Burton Zoology and Janet Wood Chemistry and Biochemistry have been the moving forces behind this organization which has blosshysomed into a nucleus of about a dozen women representing aU the science colleges at Guelph They say the groups purpose is to increase awareness of the role of women in science and the opportunities and obstacles they may encounter The group also encourages informal netshyworking and social contacts
Weve avoided creating a formal structure Professor McIver says Meetings are held on an irregular basis and there are no official officers
In addition to offering careers nights the group has compiled a list of women in science at Guelph using the criteria ofa degree in science and employment at the University
Questions raised by the group re shysulted in the updating of the 1975 report of the Presidents Task Force on the status of women at the ni shyversity which led to the formation of the Presidents Advisory Committee on Equal Rights for Men and Women at the University of Guelph This committee chaired by Professor McIver will release a report this spring

OAC GRADUATE WRITES FROM MOZAMBIQUE
Ruth Beilin born and raised in Guelph graduated jromjohn F Ross C VI and earned a BA and a Dipshyloma in Agriculture She worked at the University and in Saskatchewan before going to Papua New Guinea with CUSO as an agricultural extension worker There she met her husband an Australian lawyer who was working in rural development After two years in New Guinea she attended Reading University in England and received an MSc in Agriculture Extension She joinedher husband in Australia and together they apPlied to work on anAustralian government project in Mozambique This is the first ofher letters (written in the summer Of 1986) on life and development in that war-torn country Ruth can be contacted at the follOwing address CAA cP 356 Maputo Mozambique
Life in Mozambique is a series of contrasts and challenges The area where we live is a fertile coastal strip that has been cultivated for at least 50 years - some parts longer Coconut palms wave in the breeze - their languid trunks arching over the dense foliage of the cashew trees planted between their rows The latifundia system practised by the Portuguese meant that as a rule local families had less than two hectares each of usually marginal land to farm for subsistence purposltS and that generally they could not grow permanent tree crops on these family spaces Therefore the wealth from these crops remained with the colonial farmers
Today the state is just beginning a large land reform program What it will mean in real terms is difficult to assess given the huge numbers of dislocated families from the interior dry areas and more desperate war zones The theory is that these families will be able to return to their own farm lands and accumulate more land there assuming that the war and
Ruth Beilin OAC 74
these years of drought and fanline will soon be over
The Mozambicans survive on their abilities as farmers The suffering and deprivation have made them strong conservationists sensitive to their crops and soils But some of the obstacles they face are overwhelming - broken (Ools scarce seed loss of animals Everything is a struggle
Village meetings are stimulating and full of lengthy debate Storyshytelling animation dancing and singing form an important part of the culture The present govenunent has used these means (0 awaken a political consciousness among the people who tend to be passive and accept their circumstances
Our group is not radical but we are different and perhaps threatening to this passivity Mozambicans are tired from hard work long years of fighting a declining economy and many reorganizations of agricultural policy We talk about self-sufficiency (which translated means more work) We talk about development but in agricultural terms offer no pesticides (except naturally occuring ones) import no tractors or cultivators and generally seem to be less modern than the Portuguese who left ten years ago We are not just talking
about rehabilitation but a whole developmental philosophy which is distinct from the projects of other development agencies in nearby districts Although the communities we work in agree that the long-term benefits are valid they must wonder when life is going to become easier
Through all this nms the struggle in southern Africa - the link between the apartheid regime in South Africa and the war in Mozanlbique and indeed in aU the frontline states This war destabilizes the countryside and terrorizes the people rfhe longer we live here and witness this nightmare the more we realize that the end of the war will not be because of things or people in Mozambique This is a war supported by the foreign policies of the West Countries that continue to support South Africa give strength to the South African economy strength that is translated into soldiers anlIDunition supplies and support for the bandidosannados - the armed bandits fighting FREUMO the legal Mozambican govenunent
I could weep when President Reagan says the American support for Jonas Savimbi against the Angolan government and Americas refusal to impose sanctions on South Africa maintains the balance of power between East and West He should stand on the ground where the price is being paid and teU the mourning villagers the dying and the maimed that the world is a better place for this carnage and that the chess games ofthe big men are the real value of human life
Many other countries play sinillar ifsmaller or less direct roles with the future ofsouthern Africa The tragedy of this land is the riches and vast potent ial which attract olltside interest and cost it dearly in ternlS of human resources
James and I first heard about the Rural Development Project in August 1984 when we were working for Community Aid Abroad (CAA) in
24
Australia At that time there was optimism about Mozambique The Nkomati Peace Accord was to end South Mrkas support for the bandits in exchange for diminished support from Mozambique for the African National Congress The project was to be an integrated rural development scheme in health water and agrishyculture
But the war has not ended and it is a constant stumbling block to all aspirations and plans not to mention wearing on ones spirit Still that potential and challenge are alluring and we plod on down the developshyment road trying to build up organization and infrastructure Waiting for the day when things may normalize (After 10 years of war what is normal)
We arrived in Mozambique in April 1985 with James as project director and me as agriculturalist The health team ( a midwife and doctor ) and the community development worker arrived in late August and the water engineer in January 1986 The six of us live on the project site in a nleal district centre The official language is Portuguese and our official work is in that language However the people generally speak their own languages and so communication below the official level continues to be difficult Still they are very patient with our attempts to communicate and live in their communities
My own work is starting to become more visible Three agricultural technicians and I have organized a program of support for the fdmily sector in agriculture This is largely an education extension system that operates on three levels The first level consists of training zone representatives in practical demonshystrations ofagricultural techniques in their home area ( each zone has roughly 60 families and is represented by one man and woman chosen by their community) The zone reps are linked in training sessions and in countryside visits to the second level - an enquadradore who is basically the official link to the district agricultural system There are only five functioning enquadradores in a district of 110000 or more people so we had pound0 create the agricultural reps to make the enquadradores task possible The training program for the enquadradores is critically important because they have no agriculturaJ background but must collect and transmit agricultural information The third level is the agricultural technicians themselves These young counterparts are likely to be the directors and administrators of the future They are also the direct teaching link to the people
After months of meetings and discussions at every level of village and district structure we swung into operation with the agriculture reps
program and the horticultural crops campaign ThankfuUy some of the long-awaited tools - hoes bush knives and seeds - also arrived It is too early to know what the results might be but we are optimistic that with good rains and no bandits family sector food production will show an improvement this ftest season
James gets the thankless task of organizing logistics supplies deleshygations and the endless bookwork Often caught in the middle of our demands the reali ty of the Australian budget and the nightmare of transshyporting difficult ies he somehow remains Cltllm and diplomatic He spends three weeks in the project office in the district centre at the site and the fourth is spent in the capital Mapmo at the CAA office
Our daughter Leah makes a huge differe n ce to our lives The MozambiGms are enchanted by her James is known as the husband of the mother of the baby I am known as the mother of the baby and Leah is known by her own name throughout the area She comes out with me mornings and spends afternoons with James in the office
As always 1 necd to say morc than there is time for My hope is that this letter wi ll personalize what is happening in southern Africa so that more support will come to stop the war and the terrible sadness all around this region

OAC CO-OP PROGRAM POPULAR WITH STUDENTS AND EMPLOYERS
Co-op education is the only way to go says Janice Parker OAC 86 Her comment is reflective of the overall view held by co-op students and employers alike
The co-operative education proshygram which has been available to OAC students for the past five years formally integrates the students academic srudy with work experience in co-operating employer organishyzations Usually the student alternates four months ofsoldywith four months of work in the agricultu ral industry directly related to his or her field of study
The co-op program provided me with invaluable work experience in the food science field This experience also enabled me to get an overseas job (through an international exshychange association ) inmy field says Janice who worked as a research assistant in an alcohol company in Finland
Janice says the practical lessons learned on work tenus made classshyroom theory easier to understand She also says the co-op program gave her the benefits of increased selfshyconfidence and the ability to present herse lf well at a job interview Employment interviews generally occur on campus in the middle of the academic term preceding each work semester The interviews are comshypetitive in nature as are the salaries paid by employers which usually average S 1100-$ 1500 per month
Kenda Allen OAC 86 says the coshyop program definitely helps with finances Besides earning money you only pay for four months of your education at a time
While in the program Kenda worked terms as a fieldperson with the Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation as a horse show entry clerk with the Royal Wi nter fair and as a rural organization specialist assistant with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food She now works full-time as associate editor of the
Canadian Ay rshire Review which promotes the Ayrshire breed
My experience in the co-op program helped me obtain obtain my present job I al 0 made contacts which w ill continue to benefi t my career says Kenda
By working at a variety of jobs Kenda explains she was able to narrow down her options and fi nd the correct path to take
Kenda says she also enjoyed the break from the books every four months which allowed her to apply what she was learning
Equally Enthusiastic Employers are equally enthusiastic
about the program Paul Nelson OAC 70 MA 72 vice-preSident of manufacturing and technical services at Corporate Foods in Toronto participated in earlyplanning scssions for the co-op program He cant understand why anyone would not choose the p rogram and feels that ifit had been available when he was a student it would have been very beneficial to him
Paul says the program gives students and employers a chance to assess one another during a fXed time-frame If the students do well he says his company is committed to hiring them on a permanent basis when the opportunity arises We always tell them to keep in touch he says We have found Guelph sOldents to be eager capable and adaptable
Doug Flint OAC 85 who spent two work terms with Corporate Foods was hired permanently as a quality assurance and sanitation supervisor In his case the program came full circle when he hired Guelph co-op student Brenda Ternyik as his assistant last summer and Kelly Newell OAC 82 as his permanenr assistant recently
Doug says the program is a good method of screening for both students and employers It helped me decide what [ did and did not want to do career-wise and it set me up for a
permanent job The company in rum was hiring someone they already knew something about
Suzanne Raymond OAC 77 a research and development manager with Pillsbury Canada Ltd in Toronto says her company has hired many coshyop students as research and developshyment technicians Since product development is seasonal the four month time-frame for work terms is especially suitable for Pillsbury Students undertake short-term proshyjects where it would be uneconomical to hire full-time employees
Suzanne says Pillsbury originally got involved with the co-op program from a recruiting standpoint It gives us exposure to the students and we can test how well they work she says It also gives us exposure to I what is happening at the University in terms of research and the food industry
Suzanne says another benefit is the freshness and vitality students bring with them to the job She has found them on the whole to be very good workers
Louis Paul Ricard a manager with Cargill Ltd a grain company that services both domestic and export markets says the co-op program gives his company a good idea of the calibre of student coming out of university today The work they do is a real contribution to the company as well
Cargills first co-op student Don foster OAC 86 has been hired full shytime as a grain merchant While on work terms with CargiU he had jobs in both Ontario and Alberta Don says an advantage of the co-op program is the opportunity to live and work in different areas of the country
Cargill also hired the co -op programs first crop science graduate John Ormrod OAC 85 who now works in Saskatchewan

KEN MURRAY GIVING SOMETHING BACK TO THE UNIVERSITY
By Sandra Couch Public Relations and Information
The University of Guelphs capital campaign is an excellent opportunity for graduates to give something back to the institution which has given them so much says Ken Murray OAC 50 co-chairman of the Regional and chairman of the Associations comshymittees for The Campaign In recent years Ken has served as a member and chairman of the Board of Govershynors He was named a fellow of the University in 1983
Ken who is a corporate director of Kitchener-based JM Schneider Inc is channelling some of his time and co nsiderable ene rgies in to The Campaign in appreciation for what Guelph has given him
I have a great affinity for this campus he says One of the reasons I am involved in this campaign is to help keep the University relevant and vibrant Were educating students here for the next century
He believes alurrmi should get inshyvolved Indeed Ken believes any person who is a graduate of Guelph should get out and work for the University You cannot assume that other people are going to do all the work
Ken lauds the efforts of volunteers both on and off campus recognizing that without them The Campaign would not succeed His contagiOUS enthusiasm has earned him a reputashytion as a super-volunteer with staff in the Department of Alumni Affairs and Development The regional comshymittee co-chaired by Ken will be directly involved in raising an esti shymated $55 million for The Campaign from regional businesses and associashytions such as the Womens Institute livestock breed associations and agrishycultural products marketing boards The regional committee currently 28 strong and grOwing will approach some 200 southern Ontario businesses before The Campaign is finished
As Chairman of the Board of Governors a decade ago Ken believed
Super-volunteer Ken MunClY OAC 50 that a capital campaign was needed at Guelph He was a mcmber of the Campaign Advisory Council which was instrumental in doi ng the groundwork before The Canlpaign went public last September I want to be involved 1 want to raise the profile of this University in the busi shyness community he says The ni shyversity of Guelph has made an excellent start to this campaign of the 16 regional corporations Ken has approached so far only one could not give at this time
With Marilyn Robinson Mac 55of Alumni Affairs and Development Ken plans to approach virtually every trade
association and marketing board re shylated to agriculture The response to date has been very positive says Marilyn who adds that at one proshyducer organization more than halfof the members had some connection with the University of Guelph
Ken is very vocal in his belief that Guelph graduates should get involved in The Campaign by making a financial contribution and if possible by volunteering their time (0 help out This University has given us a great deal We owe something in reulrn
HALFWAY THERE
Seven months after the launch ofits five -year capital campaign the nivcrsity was almost halfshyway toward its 86o million goal As f March 31 contributions to The Campaign tota ll ed $29971 022
Im delighted we have reached this milestone ahead of schedule says Marjorie Millar director Alumni Affairs and Development Now that the momentum is there she says we ve got to keep it going we need the support of alumni as we continue to stretch for the next milestone

ENGLISH INSTRUCTION SUPERIOR IN CANADA
Dear Editor I have taught Human Anatomy and
Physiology for 24 years ( Deparlment ofBiological Sciences State University of New York College of Arts and Science at Plattsburgh New York) and last falL semester in addition to this subject I was asked to teach a new departmental offering Comshymunicating Biology
Because college undergraduates including graduating seniors for the most part write poorly particularly in their major our cOllege has decided to do something about this national problem we have instituted a college-wide rccruitment that all juniors must take the writing course now he ing offered within their rcspective majors
( was asked to teach this course on the basis of my writing abili ties as perceived by the biology faculty of this college Whatever strengths I have in this area they evolved prishymarilyas a result of my extensive preshycollege and college instruction in English composition and English literature in Ontario schooLs
I first recognized the advantages of tIns education in graduate schools in
the United States and subsequently I have become even more appreciative of this exten ive training as a faculty member involved in the preparation of grant proposals and research publications for the past 26 years
Unless there have been changes of which I anl unaware most certainly the instruction in English composition
and literature from both quantitative and qualitative aspects at all levels in Canadian schools is far superior to what is available across the border I hope some day we will close the gap

PRESIDENTS SCHOLARSHIPS EMPHASIZE LEADERSHIP
The Presidents Scholarships the Universitys most prestigious undershygraduate awards are designed to attract the cream of Canadian young people to Guelph
The 10 annual awards worth $16000 each over the course of an eight -semester honors degree will go to students with exceptional leadership qualities as well as acashydemic ability President Burt Matthews describes the prospective winners as people who will be leaders in society
The selection criteria are similar to those for the Winegard Medal One of the early medalists Christine Zink OVC 78 points to the importance of
the qualities Guelph is seeking in its students
it is very important that candishydates demonstrate a balance in their interests and activities When I was teaching at ove I came to know students who achieved AU averages by studying to the exclusion of all other activities These people did not contribute to the lives of others nor did such one-sided lives really benefit them After graduation job opporshytunities are gained and lost on the basis of ones ability to communicate with others Induding leadership skills and sportsmanship in the criteria for awards such as the Winegard Medal
and the Presidents Scholarships emphasizes the importance of leading a balanced life
Dr Zink is now doing post-doctoral research at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore studying viruses that cause diseases similar to AIDS in sheep and goats
The ftrst PresidentS Scholarship winners will he announced in June Before then nominees will be invited to visit campus and meet faculty in their areas of interest The winners wiU be honored at a lunch given by President Matthews in September Nominations made by school prinshycipals dosed April I

ARTS GRAD WINS KUDOS FOR STAGE PERFORMANCE
It took three years for Janet Land Arts 80 to make up her mind that she really wanted to be a professional actress After graduation from the University of Guelph she dabbled in amateur theatre and earned her Bachelor ofEducation at the University ofOttawa before taking the plunge and moving to Toronto to establish herself on the stage and in film
Now w i th four years on the professhysional circuit to her credit Janets career decision is paying off In March she finished touring to good reviews in the powerful drama Firedeveloped at Thunder Bays Magnus Theatre and co-produced by the National Arts Centre Theatre Company of Ottawa the Centaur Theatre Company of Montreal and the Citadel Theatre of Edmonton
Written by Paul Ledoux and David Young Fire is based very loosely on the life of musician Jerry Lee Lewis and his evangelist cousin J immy Swaggart It explores the conflict between the power of religion and the electric excitement of rock and roll
Janets role in Fire was Molly who is modelled very 100 ely on the 13shyyear-old cousin Lewis married
Shes a wonderful character who goes from tbe age of 13 to 35 says Janet She is caught between two men one a rock and roller the other a fimdanlentalist preacher
OfJanets performance the Globe and Mail wrote Janet Land is a capable actress who has a special knack for projecting what may be called intelligent sweetness And Molly is the only female role in the show a role that calls for a range from a 13 year olds naivete to the chastened near bitterness of early middle age Land is in a sense playing several different people and the character is more complex than might be imagined at first
Macleans wrote As MolJy King Land effortlessly porlrays the transformation from bubbly teenager to trim matron
With such reviews Janets name is becoming better know but it has
janet Land Arts 80
been an uphill clinlb During her first year as an actress when not many roles were coming her way she had to supplement her income by supply teaching and working part-time at Blacks Cameras Her first professional production was The Fantastiks at Leah Posluns Theatre in Toronto Although she played the lead ofLouisa in this musical it was a non-equity role Then she appeared in two Blyth Festival productions the comedy Cakewalk by Colleen Curran and the mystery A Spider in the House by Brian Tremblay Next she was invited to do a musical version of Scrooge at Theatre New Brunswick With these three professional productions she earned her Actors Equity card and is grateful to Blyth for giving her that opportunity
Janet has appeared in vMious teleshyvision commercials and had a small role in the CBC production Charlie Grants War For three months last summer she had fun playing Sister Mary Amnesia in Toronto Workshop Productions Nunsense and she also had a chance to workshop a new Canadian play called Little Miss Easter Seals an autobiography about polio victim Lina Chartrand The play was workshopped at Le Theatre du Petit Bonheur the only French theatre in Toronto Janets major at Guelph was French ( drama was her minor) and she is biligual
It was wonderful to work in
French I hope I get to do more plays in that language The French people are very passionate she says
Janet appeared in three Department ofDranla productions while attending Guelph - Chamber Music in 1977 The journey of the Fifth Horse in 1978 and The Miser in 1979 When she thinks of her training at Guelph she thinks of her drama professor Harry Lane who guided her through two of those productions
The highlight of my week used to be Monday morning dranu classes Wed start with coffee and those deli shycious Danishes from Massey Hall and then wed run through our exercises r learned not only about acting but the behind-the-scenes work like lighting and costumes as well Im grateful for that she recalls
Janet doesnt regret her decision to pursue an acting career She finds it very fulfilling She is even getting used to the insecurity ofnot knowing where the next rolc is coming from She didnt have any work lined up after Fire but was certain something would tum up
Something always does she added with the self-assuredness ofUl actress who is starting to be noticed
AT STRATFORD If youre planning to attend the Stratford Festival this year watch for Peter DonaldsOn Arts 15 Peter is appearing with The Young Company on the Third Stage as)acques in As You Like ltfrom May 28-5eptember p as Capulet in Romeo and ju1et from May 29September 5 and asMa on inJourneysElldfronl July14-SepteInber 5

She attended Macdonald Institute from 191 5-17 receiving her diploma in ProfessionaJ Housekeeping When she moved into Maple Manor Nursing Home in Tillsonburg two years ago that diploma was one of the things she wanted to take with her says Marlene ( Pfaff) Oatman FACS 75 MA 78 Etta is Marlenes husbands great aunt Marlene teaches in the Departments of Family Studies and So iology and Anthropology and says Aunt Etta wants to know everything I cover in my courses If she doesnt quite understand she gets a book from the library and will quiz me the next time I see her based on what she has read
Etta reads the Guelph Alumnus to keep up with what is happening at the University As well as changes in courses she likes to know about changes in buildings on campus When she was a student she lived in Macdonald Hall
Etta was more adventurous than other young women of her day Born in South Middleton Township in lS91 she attended school at SS 13 in Middleton and Tillsonburg High School until 1905 She graduated from London Normal School in 1909 and at the age of IS undertook her first teaching position at SS 1 Middleton with 49 students in Grades l-S under her sole supervision She continued teaching until 1915 when she decided to return to school to study domestic science at Guelph
After graduating she amwered an advertisement in the newspaper and headed West to take a job as dietitian and housekeeper in a 200-be d teaching hospital in Regina
I never worked so hard in my life Etta says of her year at the hospital Although she enjoyed the work When the year was up I was tired out she says So she accepted a teaching position at a prairie school at Tuxford Sask She taught there
Etta (Birdsall) Gamham Mac 17D
until the flu epidemic in 1918 closed all the schools She then turned her attention to nursing the sick until she got the flu herself
She can still remember being bedshyridden at the home of a farm family when she heard the news on Novemshy
ber 11 1915 thatthe First World War had ended
Etta returned home in 1919 to teach first in St Catharines then at Mabees Corners and finally at Guysboro where she met her husband Lee the eligible young farmer who lived across the road from the school They were married in July of 1921 and enjoyed 62 years together before his death four years ago
She continued teaching afte r marriage but only when she was needed she says because farm work kept her busy then
Ive had a lovely life Etta says And although she is now confined to a wheelchair she says shes been as healthy as can be all my life
Asked if there is any secret to her longevity she quickly responds choose your grandfather wisely because you inherit your health She points out her own father lived to be 99 and her grandmother lived to be 100

MILESTONE CE EBRATION FOR OVC
With a flourish of kilts and bagshypipes OVC began celebrating its 125th birthday February 12 The COllege is the oldest veterinary school in continuous operation in North and South America
A special lecture by eminent Scotshytish scientist Dr WilJiam FH Jarrett whose work pioneered AIDS research commemorated the founding of the College and the unique contributions of the veterinary medical profession in the advancement of scientific knowledge and disease control
Dr Jarrett of the University of Glasgow Veterinary School gave a public lecture Vacdnation Against Retroviruses From FAIDS to AIDS His work on Feline Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (FAIDS) has been the basis for subsequent research into AIDS
Dr jarretts lecture took place in War Memorial Hall exactly 125 years after OVCs inaugural address was delivered in Toronto by another Scotsman founder Andrew Smith
Dr Smi th a graduate of the Edinburgh School of Veterinary Medicine was brought to Toronto by the Board of Agriculture of Upper Canada to open a veterinary practice and provide instruction He operated the school under private charter in Toronto until 1908 when it became aftlliated with the University of Toronto nle College moved to Guelph in 1922 becoming a coshyoperative neighbor for the OAC The two later joined with Macdonald Institute to become the founding Colleges of the University of Guelph in 1964
Since the issue of Dr Smiths charshyter the College has contributed substantially to the improvement of public health says OVC Dean Ole Nielsen College faculty were instrushymenta] in the development of milkshytesting programs for mastitis and were involved in the livestock vaccination and testing programs that led to the elimination of tuberculosis and brucellosis in humans and animals
In keeping with the Scottish theme Dr Dean Percy ave 57 MSc 66 a professor in the Department OfPathology piped Dr William PH Jarrett into War Memorial Hall for his special lecture February 12 Also in the procession were President Burt Matthews ave Dean Ole Nielsen specially invited ave retirees andplatform guests (Photo by Tim Sullivan)
They were pioneers in domestic ani shymal surgery and among the first veterinarians to adopt modem surgical techniques Faculty researchers also perfected techniques for the artificial insemination ofdairy cattle and swine and for freezing bull semen
Researdl efforts have continually expanded in areas of comparative medicine where human and vetershyinary medicine cross paths The College is now at the forefront of research on organ transplants and bone surgery and research is proshyceeding in other areas of potential benefit to human medicine including genetically engineered vaccines and cancer research
Each year thousands ofanimals are brought to the ColJege for study and treatment The 2000 patients treated at the large animal clinic last year included an elephant a kangaroo and a gnu Almost 8000 animals visited the small animal clinic and more than 16000 farm animals - mostly cattle
- were seen in the ambulatory clinics herd health program The Colleges wild bird clinic is the only one of its kind in Canada
OVCs department of patholOgy is the Norlh American centre for reshysearch on marine animals and the Canadian centre for diagnostic expershytise in fish pathology The College is closely affiliated with the new Guelph Centre for Equine Research
OVCs influence on the intershynational scene has been substantial Students comefrom around the world (0 study at the undergraduate gradshyuate and post-graduate levels In 1974 the College joined the Canadian international Development Agency in establishing a veterinary school in Malaysia the first in southeast Asia
Celebrations for OVCs 125th birthday will continue throughout the year A highlight onJune 19 is the official opening of the Colleges new Sl35-million large animal faCility

PROGRAM AIMS TO ATTRACT BRIGHTEST STUDENTS
By Sandra Couch Public Relations and Information
The Universitys share of the best and brightest first-year students in the physical sciences could well increase with the introduction of a challenging interdisciplinary one-year pilot project called MPC2 (for Mathematics-Physics-Chemistry-Comshyputing Science ) says Professor Ernie McFarland Physics
Professor McFarland chairman of the CPS interdiSciplinary curriculum committee says the basic introductory courses now in place were designed to serve all tbe students in classes that often reach 300 in size Very bright students the committee found were not as stimulated as they could have been
With the courses as they werewe were not attracting the quantity or quality of students we hoped in areas like physics chemistry and bioshychemistry mathematiCs statistics and computing science says Professor McFarland
The committee has designed a number of new first-year courses which require a minimum average of 80 per cent for admission The courses will combine mathematics physics chemistry and computing and are structured to foster a better appreshyciation of the inter-connections between the disCiplines says Professor McFarland The more challenging courses will also enable bright highly qualified and motivated students to choose one or two additional elective courses in their first year
Professor McFarland admits the project is a departure from the usual departmental philosophy and says the one-year trial period will allow CPS to crawl before we walk He says a successful evaluation at the end of the trial period could lead to possible joint degrees in the areas of physics and chemistry or mathematics and computing
It could well be the first stage for a number of other interdisciplinary ventures in the College beyond the
first -year level says Professor Mcfarland
Acting CPS Dean Rod Gentry says the new intensive program will likely attrlct more of the best students to Guelph because in the sciences the best stude nts are very selective consumers Theyre looking for the best program while theyre still in high school
Former CPS Dean now Vice-President AcademicjackMacDonald conceived MPCZ because he believed that the way physical sciences were
being taught was historical and antiquated He says the departmental divisions in universities are almost tribal in nature and often lead to an arbitrary and artificial division of subject matter
Professor MacDonald says MPCZ which will be offered for the first time in September is consistent with the Universitys aims and objectives and is also consistent with the learning objectives in that it takes a holistic viewpoint in the teaching and learning of the material
GLASSBLOWE RHONORED Unive rSity glassblower Anne Hostetter has been honored by the American Scientific Glassblowers Society (ASGS) in Cincinnati Ohio for her paper Quartz EPR Flat Cel The Fischer and Porter Company of Pennsylvania offers the annual Kermit-Fischer Award in recognition of the best paper presented at the previous years symposium
The paper is selected by a jury from the ASGS on the basis of content app li cat ion presentat ion style graphics use and text
A quartz EPR flat cell is a difficult piece of glassware to make Ms Hostetter says but it is useful in EPR spectroscopy because it allows the 5anlple to be pOSitioned in the densest part of the magnetic field without interfe rence from the electric component of the rad iation
Ms Hostetter has used the techshynique described in her paper sucshycessfully for eight to nine years She forms the flat sides of the cell from two pieces of quartz glass with bevelled edges When spaced proshyperly the bevelled glass forms a V into which a length ofquartz piping is fitted and melted to seal the edges The standard spacing between the two pieces of flat glass is 25 mm
although she has made cells as small as 12 mm and as large as I mm
A 25-minute educaHonal videotape about the technique described in Ms Hostetters paper is available through the ASGS

WOMEN IN SCIENCE GATHER
About 80 women gathered on campus in February to hear Dr Lynda Pinnington talk about career planning forwomen in science Dr Pinnjngton beads Pinn ington Associates of Cambridge a consulting firm that focuses on applied productivity improvement techniques for business and industry Discussants for the careers night were Brenda Bonnett OVC 79 a PhD sludent in the Department of Veterinary Micro shybiology and Immunology and Jan Kaufman Library who is on the Preshysidents Advisory Council day care task force
This was the second event planned by an informal group of women scienshytists at Guelph Professors Susan Mclver chair of the Department of Enviro nmenta l Bio logy Mary Beverley-Burton Zoology and Janet Wood Chemistry and Biochemistry have been the moving forces behind this organization which has blosshysomed into a nucleus of about a dozen women representing aU the science colleges at Guelph They say the groups purpose is to increase awareness of the role of women in science and the opportunities and obstacles they may encounter The group also encourages informal netshyworking and social contacts
Weve avoided creating a formal structure Professor McIver says Meetings are held on an irregular basis and there are no official officers
In addition to offering careers nights the group has compiled a list of women in science at Guelph using the criteria ofa degree in science and employment at the University
Questions raised by the group re shysulted in the updating of the 1975 report of the Presidents Task Force on the status of women at the ni shyversity which led to the formation of the Presidents Advisory Committee on Equal Rights for Men and Women at the University of Guelph This committee chaired by Professor McIver will release a report this spring
Michele Lam is the 1987 recipient of the Keith Ronald Graduate Scholarship She is presented with the 51000 f ellowship by CBS Alumni Association PresidentjimAtkinson (left) andProfessor Ronald ]be CBSAA established the endowmentfor a first year student who has graduated from CBS and who is enrolledin a graduate YItgtgram in biology in any College ofthe University ]be award isfor those students who have demonstrated academic excellence and who have a serious intent to pursue research
FORSTER FELLOWSHIPS AWARDED The 1987 Forster Fellowships have been awarded to two CBS faculty members
Professor Terry Beveridge Depart shyment of Microbiology will use the fellowship to help develop new techshyni ques to study bacter ial ultra shystmcture and to travel to Europe in June to work with Professor we Sleytr in Vienna Austria and Professor Edward Ke llenberger in Basel Switzerland Professor Sleytrs area of expertise is ultrastructure of bacteria I surfaces and Professor Kellenbergers is new techniques in electron micro shyscopy
Professor Terry Graham School of
Human Biology will use the fcllowship to continue his study of human muscle metabolism and its response to cold stress and exercise This month he travels to Copenhagen to work with three researchers at the August Krogh Institute - Dr Bengt Saltin a spe shycialist in cardiovascular and muscle physiology Dr Bodil Nielsen who works in themlo-regulation and Dr Erik Richter a specialist in carbo shyhydrate metabolism
The Alma Mater Fund provides $15000 annually for the fellowships in memory of the late University President Donald Forster The awards to be used for facu lty development are rotated among the collcges

OAC GRADUATE WRITES FROM MOZAMBIQUE
Ruth Beilin born and raised in Guelph graduated jromjohn F Ross C VI and earned a BA and a Dipshyloma in Agriculture She worked at the University and in Saskatchewan before going to Papua New Guinea with CUSO as an agricultural extension worker There she met her husband an Australian lawyer who was working in rural development After two years in New Guinea she attended Reading University in England and received an MSc in Agriculture Extension She joinedher husband in Australia and together they apPlied to work on anAustralian government project in Mozambique This is the first ofher letters (written in the summer Of 1986) on life and development in that war-torn country Ruth can be contacted at the follOwing address CAA cP 356 Maputo Mozambique
Life in Mozambique is a series of contrasts and challenges The area where we live is a fertile coastal strip that has been cultivated for at least 50 years - some parts longer Coconut palms wave in the breeze - their languid trunks arching over the dense foliage of the cashew trees planted between their rows The latifundia system practised by the Portuguese meant that as a rule local families had less than two hectares each of usually marginal land to farm for subsistence purposltS and that generally they could not grow permanent tree crops on these family spaces Therefore the wealth from these crops remained with the colonial farmers
Today the state is just beginning a large land reform program What it will mean in real terms is difficult to assess given the huge numbers of dislocated families from the interior dry areas and more desperate war zones The theory is that these families will be able to return to their own farm lands and accumulate more land there assuming that the war and
Ruth Beilin OAC 74
these years of drought and fanline will soon be over
The Mozambicans survive on their abilities as farmers The suffering and deprivation have made them strong conservationists sensitive to their crops and soils But some of the obstacles they face are overwhelming - broken (Ools scarce seed loss of animals Everything is a struggle
Village meetings are stimulating and full of lengthy debate Storyshytelling animation dancing and singing form an important part of the culture The present govenunent has used these means (0 awaken a political consciousness among the people who tend to be passive and accept their circumstances
Our group is not radical but we are different and perhaps threatening to this passivity Mozambicans are tired from hard work long years of fighting a declining economy and many reorganizations of agricultural policy We talk about self-sufficiency (which translated means more work) We talk about development but in agricultural terms offer no pesticides (except naturally occuring ones) import no tractors or cultivators and generally seem to be less modern than the Portuguese who left ten years ago We are not just talking
about rehabilitation but a whole developmental philosophy which is distinct from the projects of other development agencies in nearby districts Although the communities we work in agree that the long-term benefits are valid they must wonder when life is going to become easier
Through all this nms the struggle in southern Africa - the link between the apartheid regime in South Africa and the war in Mozanlbique and indeed in aU the frontline states This war destabilizes the countryside and terrorizes the people rfhe longer we live here and witness this nightmare the more we realize that the end of the war will not be because of things or people in Mozambique This is a war supported by the foreign policies of the West Countries that continue to support South Africa give strength to the South African economy strength that is translated into soldiers anlIDunition supplies and support for the bandidosannados - the armed bandits fighting FREUMO the legal Mozambican govenunent
I could weep when President Reagan says the American support for Jonas Savimbi against the Angolan government and Americas refusal to impose sanctions on South Africa maintains the balance of power between East and West He should stand on the ground where the price is being paid and teU the mourning villagers the dying and the maimed that the world is a better place for this carnage and that the chess games ofthe big men are the real value of human life
Many other countries play sinillar ifsmaller or less direct roles with the future ofsouthern Africa The tragedy of this land is the riches and vast potent ial which attract olltside interest and cost it dearly in ternlS of human resources
James and I first heard about the Rural Development Project in August 1984 when we were working for Community Aid Abroad (CAA) in
24
Australia At that time there was optimism about Mozambique The Nkomati Peace Accord was to end South Mrkas support for the bandits in exchange for diminished support from Mozambique for the African National Congress The project was to be an integrated rural development scheme in health water and agrishyculture
But the war has not ended and it is a constant stumbling block to all aspirations and plans not to mention wearing on ones spirit Still that potential and challenge are alluring and we plod on down the developshyment road trying to build up organization and infrastructure Waiting for the day when things may normalize (After 10 years of war what is normal)
We arrived in Mozambique in April 1985 with James as project director and me as agriculturalist The health team ( a midwife and doctor ) and the community development worker arrived in late August and the water engineer in January 1986 The six of us live on the project site in a nleal district centre The official language is Portuguese and our official work is in that language However the people generally speak their own languages and so communication below the official level continues to be difficult Still they are very patient with our attempts to communicate and live in their communities
My own work is starting to become more visible Three agricultural technicians and I have organized a program of support for the fdmily sector in agriculture This is largely an education extension system that operates on three levels The first level consists of training zone representatives in practical demonshystrations ofagricultural techniques in their home area ( each zone has roughly 60 families and is represented by one man and woman chosen by their community) The zone reps are linked in training sessions and in countryside visits to the second level - an enquadradore who is basically the official link to the district agricultural system There are only five functioning enquadradores in a district of 110000 or more people so we had pound0 create the agricultural reps to make the enquadradores task possible The training program for the enquadradores is critically important because they have no agriculturaJ background but must collect and transmit agricultural information The third level is the agricultural technicians themselves These young counterparts are likely to be the directors and administrators of the future They are also the direct teaching link to the people
After months of meetings and discussions at every level of village and district structure we swung into operation with the agriculture reps
program and the horticultural crops campaign ThankfuUy some of the long-awaited tools - hoes bush knives and seeds - also arrived It is too early to know what the results might be but we are optimistic that with good rains and no bandits family sector food production will show an improvement this ftest season
James gets the thankless task of organizing logistics supplies deleshygations and the endless bookwork Often caught in the middle of our demands the reali ty of the Australian budget and the nightmare of transshyporting difficult ies he somehow remains Cltllm and diplomatic He spends three weeks in the project office in the district centre at the site and the fourth is spent in the capital Mapmo at the CAA office
Our daughter Leah makes a huge differe n ce to our lives The MozambiGms are enchanted by her James is known as the husband of the mother of the baby I am known as the mother of the baby and Leah is known by her own name throughout the area She comes out with me mornings and spends afternoons with James in the office
As always 1 necd to say morc than there is time for My hope is that this letter wi ll personalize what is happening in southern Africa so that more support will come to stop the war and the terrible sadness all around this region

OAC CO-OP PROGRAM POPULAR WITH STUDENTS AND EMPLOYERS
Co-op education is the only way to go says Janice Parker OAC 86 Her comment is reflective of the overall view held by co-op students and employers alike
The co-operative education proshygram which has been available to OAC students for the past five years formally integrates the students academic srudy with work experience in co-operating employer organishyzations Usually the student alternates four months ofsoldywith four months of work in the agricultu ral industry directly related to his or her field of study
The co-op program provided me with invaluable work experience in the food science field This experience also enabled me to get an overseas job (through an international exshychange association ) inmy field says Janice who worked as a research assistant in an alcohol company in Finland
Janice says the practical lessons learned on work tenus made classshyroom theory easier to understand She also says the co-op program gave her the benefits of increased selfshyconfidence and the ability to present herse lf well at a job interview Employment interviews generally occur on campus in the middle of the academic term preceding each work semester The interviews are comshypetitive in nature as are the salaries paid by employers which usually average S 1100-$ 1500 per month
Kenda Allen OAC 86 says the coshyop program definitely helps with finances Besides earning money you only pay for four months of your education at a time
While in the program Kenda worked terms as a fieldperson with the Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation as a horse show entry clerk with the Royal Wi nter fair and as a rural organization specialist assistant with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food She now works full-time as associate editor of the
Canadian Ay rshire Review which promotes the Ayrshire breed
My experience in the co-op program helped me obtain obtain my present job I al 0 made contacts which w ill continue to benefi t my career says Kenda
By working at a variety of jobs Kenda explains she was able to narrow down her options and fi nd the correct path to take
Kenda says she also enjoyed the break from the books every four months which allowed her to apply what she was learning
Equally Enthusiastic Employers are equally enthusiastic
about the program Paul Nelson OAC 70 MA 72 vice-preSident of manufacturing and technical services at Corporate Foods in Toronto participated in earlyplanning scssions for the co-op program He cant understand why anyone would not choose the p rogram and feels that ifit had been available when he was a student it would have been very beneficial to him
Paul says the program gives students and employers a chance to assess one another during a fXed time-frame If the students do well he says his company is committed to hiring them on a permanent basis when the opportunity arises We always tell them to keep in touch he says We have found Guelph sOldents to be eager capable and adaptable
Doug Flint OAC 85 who spent two work terms with Corporate Foods was hired permanently as a quality assurance and sanitation supervisor In his case the program came full circle when he hired Guelph co-op student Brenda Ternyik as his assistant last summer and Kelly Newell OAC 82 as his permanenr assistant recently
Doug says the program is a good method of screening for both students and employers It helped me decide what [ did and did not want to do career-wise and it set me up for a
permanent job The company in rum was hiring someone they already knew something about
Suzanne Raymond OAC 77 a research and development manager with Pillsbury Canada Ltd in Toronto says her company has hired many coshyop students as research and developshyment technicians Since product development is seasonal the four month time-frame for work terms is especially suitable for Pillsbury Students undertake short-term proshyjects where it would be uneconomical to hire full-time employees
Suzanne says Pillsbury originally got involved with the co-op program from a recruiting standpoint It gives us exposure to the students and we can test how well they work she says It also gives us exposure to I what is happening at the University in terms of research and the food industry
Suzanne says another benefit is the freshness and vitality students bring with them to the job She has found them on the whole to be very good workers
Louis Paul Ricard a manager with Cargill Ltd a grain company that services both domestic and export markets says the co-op program gives his company a good idea of the calibre of student coming out of university today The work they do is a real contribution to the company as well
Cargills first co-op student Don foster OAC 86 has been hired full shytime as a grain merchant While on work terms with CargiU he had jobs in both Ontario and Alberta Don says an advantage of the co-op program is the opportunity to live and work in different areas of the country
Cargill also hired the co -op programs first crop science graduate John Ormrod OAC 85 who now works in Saskatchewan

By Sandra Couch Public Relations and Information
The University of Guelphs capital campaign is an excellent opportunity for graduates to give something back to the institution which has given them so much says Ken Murray OAC 50 co-chairman of the Regional and chairman of the Associations comshymittees for The Campaign In recent years Ken has served as a member and chairman of the Board of Govershynors He was named a fellow of the University in 1983
Ken who is a corporate director of Kitchener-based JM Schneider Inc is channelling some of his time and co nsiderable ene rgies in to The Campaign in appreciation for what Guelph has given him
I have a great affinity for this campus he says One of the reasons I am involved in this campaign is to help keep the University relevant and vibrant Were educating students here for the next century
He believes alurrmi should get inshyvolved Indeed Ken believes any person who is a graduate of Guelph should get out and work for the University You cannot assume that other people are going to do all the work
Ken lauds the efforts of volunteers both on and off campus recognizing that without them The Campaign would not succeed His contagiOUS enthusiasm has earned him a reputashytion as a super-volunteer with staff in the Department of Alumni Affairs and Development The regional comshymittee co-chaired by Ken will be directly involved in raising an esti shymated $55 million for The Campaign from regional businesses and associashytions such as the Womens Institute livestock breed associations and agrishycultural products marketing boards The regional committee currently 28 strong and grOwing will approach some 200 southern Ontario businesses before The Campaign is finished
As Chairman of the Board of Governors a decade ago Ken believed
Super-volunteer Ken MunClY OAC 50 that a capital campaign was needed at Guelph He was a mcmber of the Campaign Advisory Council which was instrumental in doi ng the groundwork before The Canlpaign went public last September I want to be involved 1 want to raise the profile of this University in the busi shyness community he says The ni shyversity of Guelph has made an excellent start to this campaign of the 16 regional corporations Ken has approached so far only one could not give at this time
With Marilyn Robinson Mac 55of Alumni Affairs and Development Ken plans to approach virtually every trade
association and marketing board re shylated to agriculture The response to date has been very positive says Marilyn who adds that at one proshyducer organization more than halfof the members had some connection with the University of Guelph
Ken is very vocal in his belief that Guelph graduates should get involved in The Campaign by making a financial contribution and if possible by volunteering their time (0 help out This University has given us a great deal We owe something in reulrn
HALFWAY THERE
Seven months after the launch ofits five -year capital campaign the nivcrsity was almost halfshyway toward its 86o million goal As f March 31 contributions to The Campaign tota ll ed $29971 022
Im delighted we have reached this milestone ahead of schedule says Marjorie Millar director Alumni Affairs and Development Now that the momentum is there she says we ve got to keep it going we need the support of alumni as we continue to stretch for the next milestone

ENGLISH INSTRUCTION SUPERIOR IN CANADA
Dear Editor I have taught Human Anatomy and
Physiology for 24 years ( Deparlment ofBiological Sciences State University of New York College of Arts and Science at Plattsburgh New York) and last falL semester in addition to this subject I was asked to teach a new departmental offering Comshymunicating Biology
Because college undergraduates including graduating seniors for the most part write poorly particularly in their major our cOllege has decided to do something about this national problem we have instituted a college-wide rccruitment that all juniors must take the writing course now he ing offered within their rcspective majors
( was asked to teach this course on the basis of my writing abili ties as perceived by the biology faculty of this college Whatever strengths I have in this area they evolved prishymarilyas a result of my extensive preshycollege and college instruction in English composition and English literature in Ontario schooLs
I first recognized the advantages of tIns education in graduate schools in
the United States and subsequently I have become even more appreciative of this exten ive training as a faculty member involved in the preparation of grant proposals and research publications for the past 26 years
Unless there have been changes of which I anl unaware most certainly the instruction in English composition
and literature from both quantitative and qualitative aspects at all levels in Canadian schools is far superior to what is available across the border I hope some day we will close the gap

PRESIDENTS SCHOLARSHIPS EMPHASIZE LEADERSHIP
The Presidents Scholarships the Universitys most prestigious undershygraduate awards are designed to attract the cream of Canadian young people to Guelph
The 10 annual awards worth $16000 each over the course of an eight -semester honors degree will go to students with exceptional leadership qualities as well as acashydemic ability President Burt Matthews describes the prospective winners as people who will be leaders in society
The selection criteria are similar to those for the Winegard Medal One of the early medalists Christine Zink OVC 78 points to the importance of
the qualities Guelph is seeking in its students
it is very important that candishydates demonstrate a balance in their interests and activities When I was teaching at ove I came to know students who achieved AU averages by studying to the exclusion of all other activities These people did not contribute to the lives of others nor did such one-sided lives really benefit them After graduation job opporshytunities are gained and lost on the basis of ones ability to communicate with others Induding leadership skills and sportsmanship in the criteria for awards such as the Winegard Medal
and the Presidents Scholarships emphasizes the importance of leading a balanced life
Dr Zink is now doing post-doctoral research at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore studying viruses that cause diseases similar to AIDS in sheep and goats
The ftrst PresidentS Scholarship winners will he announced in June Before then nominees will be invited to visit campus and meet faculty in their areas of interest The winners wiU be honored at a lunch given by President Matthews in September Nominations made by school prinshycipals dosed April I

ARTS GRAD WINS KUDOS FOR STAGE PERFORMANCE
It took three years for Janet Land Arts 80 to make up her mind that she really wanted to be a professional actress After graduation from the University of Guelph she dabbled in amateur theatre and earned her Bachelor ofEducation at the University ofOttawa before taking the plunge and moving to Toronto to establish herself on the stage and in film
Now w i th four years on the professhysional circuit to her credit Janets career decision is paying off In March she finished touring to good reviews in the powerful drama Firedeveloped at Thunder Bays Magnus Theatre and co-produced by the National Arts Centre Theatre Company of Ottawa the Centaur Theatre Company of Montreal and the Citadel Theatre of Edmonton
Written by Paul Ledoux and David Young Fire is based very loosely on the life of musician Jerry Lee Lewis and his evangelist cousin J immy Swaggart It explores the conflict between the power of religion and the electric excitement of rock and roll
Janets role in Fire was Molly who is modelled very 100 ely on the 13shyyear-old cousin Lewis married
Shes a wonderful character who goes from tbe age of 13 to 35 says Janet She is caught between two men one a rock and roller the other a fimdanlentalist preacher
OfJanets performance the Globe and Mail wrote Janet Land is a capable actress who has a special knack for projecting what may be called intelligent sweetness And Molly is the only female role in the show a role that calls for a range from a 13 year olds naivete to the chastened near bitterness of early middle age Land is in a sense playing several different people and the character is more complex than might be imagined at first
Macleans wrote As MolJy King Land effortlessly porlrays the transformation from bubbly teenager to trim matron
With such reviews Janets name is becoming better know but it has
janet Land Arts 80
been an uphill clinlb During her first year as an actress when not many roles were coming her way she had to supplement her income by supply teaching and working part-time at Blacks Cameras Her first professional production was The Fantastiks at Leah Posluns Theatre in Toronto Although she played the lead ofLouisa in this musical it was a non-equity role Then she appeared in two Blyth Festival productions the comedy Cakewalk by Colleen Curran and the mystery A Spider in the House by Brian Tremblay Next she was invited to do a musical version of Scrooge at Theatre New Brunswick With these three professional productions she earned her Actors Equity card and is grateful to Blyth for giving her that opportunity
Janet has appeared in vMious teleshyvision commercials and had a small role in the CBC production Charlie Grants War For three months last summer she had fun playing Sister Mary Amnesia in Toronto Workshop Productions Nunsense and she also had a chance to workshop a new Canadian play called Little Miss Easter Seals an autobiography about polio victim Lina Chartrand The play was workshopped at Le Theatre du Petit Bonheur the only French theatre in Toronto Janets major at Guelph was French ( drama was her minor) and she is biligual
It was wonderful to work in
French I hope I get to do more plays in that language The French people are very passionate she says
Janet appeared in three Department ofDranla productions while attending Guelph - Chamber Music in 1977 The journey of the Fifth Horse in 1978 and The Miser in 1979 When she thinks of her training at Guelph she thinks of her drama professor Harry Lane who guided her through two of those productions
The highlight of my week used to be Monday morning dranu classes Wed start with coffee and those deli shycious Danishes from Massey Hall and then wed run through our exercises r learned not only about acting but the behind-the-scenes work like lighting and costumes as well Im grateful for that she recalls
Janet doesnt regret her decision to pursue an acting career She finds it very fulfilling She is even getting used to the insecurity ofnot knowing where the next rolc is coming from She didnt have any work lined up after Fire but was certain something would tum up
Something always does she added with the self-assuredness ofUl actress who is starting to be noticed
AT STRATFORD If youre planning to attend the Stratford Festival this year watch for Peter DonaldsOn Arts 15 Peter is appearing with The Young Company on the Third Stage as)acques in As You Like ltfrom May 28-5eptember p as Capulet in Romeo and ju1et from May 29September 5 and asMa on inJourneysElldfronl July14-SepteInber 5

Etta (Birdsall) Gamham Mac 17D will celebrate her 96th birthday this summer and still maintains a keen interest in the College she graduated from many years ago
She attended Macdonald Institute from 191 5-17 receiving her diploma in ProfessionaJ Housekeeping When she moved into Maple Manor Nursing Home in Tillsonburg two years ago that diploma was one of the things she wanted to take with her says Marlene ( Pfaff) Oatman FACS 75 MA 78 Etta is Marlenes husbands great aunt Marlene teaches in the Departments of Family Studies and So iology and Anthropology and says Aunt Etta wants to know everything I cover in my courses If she doesnt quite understand she gets a book from the library and will quiz me the next time I see her based on what she has read
Etta reads the Guelph Alumnus to keep up with what is happening at the University As well as changes in courses she likes to know about changes in buildings on campus When she was a student she lived in Macdonald Hall
Etta was more adventurous than other young women of her day Born in South Middleton Township in lS91 she attended school at SS 13 in Middleton and Tillsonburg High School until 1905 She graduated from London Normal School in 1909 and at the age of IS undertook her first teaching position at SS 1 Middleton with 49 students in Grades l-S under her sole supervision She continued teaching until 1915 when she decided to return to school to study domestic science at Guelph
After graduating she amwered an advertisement in the newspaper and headed West to take a job as dietitian and housekeeper in a 200-be d teaching hospital in Regina
I never worked so hard in my life Etta says of her year at the hospital Although she enjoyed the work When the year was up I was tired out she says So she accepted a teaching position at a prairie school at Tuxford Sask She taught there
Etta (Birdsall) Gamham Mac 17D
until the flu epidemic in 1918 closed all the schools She then turned her attention to nursing the sick until she got the flu herself
She can still remember being bedshyridden at the home of a farm family when she heard the news on Novemshy
ber 11 1915 thatthe First World War had ended
Etta returned home in 1919 to teach first in St Catharines then at Mabees Corners and finally at Guysboro where she met her husband Lee the eligible young farmer who lived across the road from the school They were married in July of 1921 and enjoyed 62 years together before his death four years ago
She continued teaching afte r marriage but only when she was needed she says because farm work kept her busy then
Ive had a lovely life Etta says And although she is now confined to a wheelchair she says shes been as healthy as can be all my life
Asked if there is any secret to her longevity she quickly responds choose your grandfather wisely because you inherit your health She points out her own father lived to be 99 and her grandmother lived to be 100

A special lecture by eminent Scotshytish scientist Dr WilJiam FH Jarrett whose work pioneered AIDS research commemorated the founding of the College and the unique contributions of the veterinary medical profession in the advancement of scientific knowledge and disease control
Dr Jarrett of the University of Glasgow Veterinary School gave a public lecture Vacdnation Against Retroviruses From FAIDS to AIDS His work on Feline Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (FAIDS) has been the basis for subsequent research into AIDS
Dr jarretts lecture took place in War Memorial Hall exactly 125 years after OVCs inaugural address was delivered in Toronto by another Scotsman founder Andrew Smith
Dr Smi th a graduate of the Edinburgh School of Veterinary Medicine was brought to Toronto by the Board of Agriculture of Upper Canada to open a veterinary practice and provide instruction He operated the school under private charter in Toronto until 1908 when it became aftlliated with the University of Toronto nle College moved to Guelph in 1922 becoming a coshyoperative neighbor for the OAC The two later joined with Macdonald Institute to become the founding Colleges of the University of Guelph in 1964
Since the issue of Dr Smiths charshyter the College has contributed substantially to the improvement of public health says OVC Dean Ole Nielsen College faculty were instrushymenta] in the development of milkshytesting programs for mastitis and were involved in the livestock vaccination and testing programs that led to the elimination of tuberculosis and brucellosis in humans and animals
In keeping with the Scottish theme Dr Dean Percy ave 57 MSc 66 a professor in the Department OfPathology piped Dr William PH Jarrett into War Memorial Hall for his special lecture February 12 Also in the procession were President Burt Matthews ave Dean Ole Nielsen specially invited ave retirees andplatform guests (Photo by Tim Sullivan)
They were pioneers in domestic ani shymal surgery and among the first veterinarians to adopt modem surgical techniques Faculty researchers also perfected techniques for the artificial insemination ofdairy cattle and swine and for freezing bull semen
Researdl efforts have continually expanded in areas of comparative medicine where human and vetershyinary medicine cross paths The College is now at the forefront of research on organ transplants and bone surgery and research is proshyceeding in other areas of potential benefit to human medicine including genetically engineered vaccines and cancer research
Each year thousands ofanimals are brought to the ColJege for study and treatment The 2000 patients treated at the large animal clinic last year included an elephant a kangaroo and a gnu Almost 8000 animals visited the small animal clinic and more than 16000 farm animals - mostly cattle
- were seen in the ambulatory clinics herd health program The Colleges wild bird clinic is the only one of its kind in Canada
OVCs department of patholOgy is the Norlh American centre for reshysearch on marine animals and the Canadian centre for diagnostic expershytise in fish pathology The College is closely affiliated with the new Guelph Centre for Equine Research
OVCs influence on the intershynational scene has been substantial Students comefrom around the world (0 study at the undergraduate gradshyuate and post-graduate levels In 1974 the College joined the Canadian international Development Agency in establishing a veterinary school in Malaysia the first in southeast Asia
Celebrations for OVCs 125th birthday will continue throughout the year A highlight onJune 19 is the official opening of the Colleges new Sl35-million large animal faCility

PROGRAM AIMS TO ATTRACT BRIGHTEST STUDENTS
By Sandra Couch Public Relations and Information
The Universitys share of the best and brightest first-year students in the physical sciences could well increase with the introduction of a challenging interdisciplinary one-year pilot project called MPC2 (for Mathematics-Physics-Chemistry-Comshyputing Science ) says Professor Ernie McFarland Physics
Professor McFarland chairman of the CPS interdiSciplinary curriculum committee says the basic introductory courses now in place were designed to serve all tbe students in classes that often reach 300 in size Very bright students the committee found were not as stimulated as they could have been
With the courses as they werewe were not attracting the quantity or quality of students we hoped in areas like physics chemistry and bioshychemistry mathematiCs statistics and computing science says Professor McFarland
The committee has designed a number of new first-year courses which require a minimum average of 80 per cent for admission The courses will combine mathematics physics chemistry and computing and are structured to foster a better appreshyciation of the inter-connections between the disCiplines says Professor McFarland The more challenging courses will also enable bright highly qualified and motivated students to choose one or two additional elective courses in their first year
Professor McFarland admits the project is a departure from the usual departmental philosophy and says the one-year trial period will allow CPS to crawl before we walk He says a successful evaluation at the end of the trial period could lead to possible joint degrees in the areas of physics and chemistry or mathematics and computing
It could well be the first stage for a number of other interdisciplinary ventures in the College beyond the
first -year level says Professor Mcfarland
Acting CPS Dean Rod Gentry says the new intensive program will likely attrlct more of the best students to Guelph because in the sciences the best stude nts are very selective consumers Theyre looking for the best program while theyre still in high school
Former CPS Dean now Vice-President AcademicjackMacDonald conceived MPCZ because he believed that the way physical sciences were
being taught was historical and antiquated He says the departmental divisions in universities are almost tribal in nature and often lead to an arbitrary and artificial division of subject matter
Professor MacDonald says MPCZ which will be offered for the first time in September is consistent with the Universitys aims and objectives and is also consistent with the learning objectives in that it takes a holistic viewpoint in the teaching and learning of the material
GLASSBLOWE RHONORED Unive rSity glassblower Anne Hostetter has been honored by the American Scientific Glassblowers Society (ASGS) in Cincinnati Ohio for her paper Quartz EPR Flat Cel The Fischer and Porter Company of Pennsylvania offers the annual Kermit-Fischer Award in recognition of the best paper presented at the previous years symposium
The paper is selected by a jury from the ASGS on the basis of content app li cat ion presentat ion style graphics use and text
A quartz EPR flat cell is a difficult piece of glassware to make Ms Hostetter says but it is useful in EPR spectroscopy because it allows the 5anlple to be pOSitioned in the densest part of the magnetic field without interfe rence from the electric component of the rad iation
Ms Hostetter has used the techshynique described in her paper sucshycessfully for eight to nine years She forms the flat sides of the cell from two pieces of quartz glass with bevelled edges When spaced proshyperly the bevelled glass forms a V into which a length ofquartz piping is fitted and melted to seal the edges The standard spacing between the two pieces of flat glass is 25 mm
although she has made cells as small as 12 mm and as large as I mm
A 25-minute educaHonal videotape about the technique described in Ms Hostetters paper is available through the ASGS

WOMEN IN SCIENCE GATHER
About 80 women gathered on campus in February to hear Dr Lynda Pinnington talk about career planning forwomen in science Dr Pinnjngton beads Pinn ington Associates of Cambridge a consulting firm that focuses on applied productivity improvement techniques for business and industry Discussants for the careers night were Brenda Bonnett OVC 79 a PhD sludent in the Department of Veterinary Micro shybiology and Immunology and Jan Kaufman Library who is on the Preshysidents Advisory Council day care task force
This was the second event planned by an informal group of women scienshytists at Guelph Professors Susan Mclver chair of the Department of Enviro nmenta l Bio logy Mary Beverley-Burton Zoology and Janet Wood Chemistry and Biochemistry have been the moving forces behind this organization which has blosshysomed into a nucleus of about a dozen women representing aU the science colleges at Guelph They say the groups purpose is to increase awareness of the role of women in science and the opportunities and obstacles they may encounter The group also encourages informal netshyworking and social contacts
Weve avoided creating a formal structure Professor McIver says Meetings are held on an irregular basis and there are no official officers
In addition to offering careers nights the group has compiled a list of women in science at Guelph using the criteria ofa degree in science and employment at the University
Questions raised by the group re shysulted in the updating of the 1975 report of the Presidents Task Force on the status of women at the ni shyversity which led to the formation of the Presidents Advisory Committee on Equal Rights for Men and Women at the University of Guelph This committee chaired by Professor McIver will release a report this spring

OAC GRADUATE WRITES FROM MOZAMBIQUE
Ruth Beilin born and raised in Guelph graduated jromjohn F Ross C VI and earned a BA and a Dipshyloma in Agriculture She worked at the University and in Saskatchewan before going to Papua New Guinea with CUSO as an agricultural extension worker There she met her husband an Australian lawyer who was working in rural development After two years in New Guinea she attended Reading University in England and received an MSc in Agriculture Extension She joinedher husband in Australia and together they apPlied to work on anAustralian government project in Mozambique This is the first ofher letters (written in the summer Of 1986) on life and development in that war-torn country Ruth can be contacted at the follOwing address CAA cP 356 Maputo Mozambique
Life in Mozambique is a series of contrasts and challenges The area where we live is a fertile coastal strip that has been cultivated for at least 50 years - some parts longer Coconut palms wave in the breeze - their languid trunks arching over the dense foliage of the cashew trees planted between their rows The latifundia system practised by the Portuguese meant that as a rule local families had less than two hectares each of usually marginal land to farm for subsistence purposltS and that generally they could not grow permanent tree crops on these family spaces Therefore the wealth from these crops remained with the colonial farmers
Today the state is just beginning a large land reform program What it will mean in real terms is difficult to assess given the huge numbers of dislocated families from the interior dry areas and more desperate war zones The theory is that these families will be able to return to their own farm lands and accumulate more land there assuming that the war and
Ruth Beilin OAC 74
these years of drought and fanline will soon be over
The Mozambicans survive on their abilities as farmers The suffering and deprivation have made them strong conservationists sensitive to their crops and soils But some of the obstacles they face are overwhelming - broken (Ools scarce seed loss of animals Everything is a struggle
Village meetings are stimulating and full of lengthy debate Storyshytelling animation dancing and singing form an important part of the culture The present govenunent has used these means (0 awaken a political consciousness among the people who tend to be passive and accept their circumstances
Our group is not radical but we are different and perhaps threatening to this passivity Mozambicans are tired from hard work long years of fighting a declining economy and many reorganizations of agricultural policy We talk about self-sufficiency (which translated means more work) We talk about development but in agricultural terms offer no pesticides (except naturally occuring ones) import no tractors or cultivators and generally seem to be less modern than the Portuguese who left ten years ago We are not just talking
about rehabilitation but a whole developmental philosophy which is distinct from the projects of other development agencies in nearby districts Although the communities we work in agree that the long-term benefits are valid they must wonder when life is going to become easier
Through all this nms the struggle in southern Africa - the link between the apartheid regime in South Africa and the war in Mozanlbique and indeed in aU the frontline states This war destabilizes the countryside and terrorizes the people rfhe longer we live here and witness this nightmare the more we realize that the end of the war will not be because of things or people in Mozambique This is a war supported by the foreign policies of the West Countries that continue to support South Africa give strength to the South African economy strength that is translated into soldiers anlIDunition supplies and support for the bandidosannados - the armed bandits fighting FREUMO the legal Mozambican govenunent
I could weep when President Reagan says the American support for Jonas Savimbi against the Angolan government and Americas refusal to impose sanctions on South Africa maintains the balance of power between East and West He should stand on the ground where the price is being paid and teU the mourning villagers the dying and the maimed that the world is a better place for this carnage and that the chess games ofthe big men are the real value of human life
Many other countries play sinillar ifsmaller or less direct roles with the future ofsouthern Africa The tragedy of this land is the riches and vast potent ial which attract olltside interest and cost it dearly in ternlS of human resources
James and I first heard about the Rural Development Project in August 1984 when we were working for Community Aid Abroad (CAA) in
24
Australia At that time there was optimism about Mozambique The Nkomati Peace Accord was to end South Mrkas support for the bandits in exchange for diminished support from Mozambique for the African National Congress The project was to be an integrated rural development scheme in health water and agrishyculture
But the war has not ended and it is a constant stumbling block to all aspirations and plans not to mention wearing on ones spirit Still that potential and challenge are alluring and we plod on down the developshyment road trying to build up organization and infrastructure Waiting for the day when things may normalize (After 10 years of war what is normal)
We arrived in Mozambique in April 1985 with James as project director and me as agriculturalist The health team ( a midwife and doctor ) and the community development worker arrived in late August and the water engineer in January 1986 The six of us live on the project site in a nleal district centre The official language is Portuguese and our official work is in that language However the people generally speak their own languages and so communication below the official level continues to be difficult Still they are very patient with our attempts to communicate and live in their communities
My own work is starting to become more visible Three agricultural technicians and I have organized a program of support for the fdmily sector in agriculture This is largely an education extension system that operates on three levels The first level consists of training zone representatives in practical demonshystrations ofagricultural techniques in their home area ( each zone has roughly 60 families and is represented by one man and woman chosen by their community) The zone reps are linked in training sessions and in countryside visits to the second level - an enquadradore who is basically the official link to the district agricultural system There are only five functioning enquadradores in a district of 110000 or more people so we had pound0 create the agricultural reps to make the enquadradores task possible The training program for the enquadradores is critically important because they have no agriculturaJ background but must collect and transmit agricultural information The third level is the agricultural technicians themselves These young counterparts are likely to be the directors and administrators of the future They are also the direct teaching link to the people
After months of meetings and discussions at every level of village and district structure we swung into operation with the agriculture reps
program and the horticultural crops campaign ThankfuUy some of the long-awaited tools - hoes bush knives and seeds - also arrived It is too early to know what the results might be but we are optimistic that with good rains and no bandits family sector food production will show an improvement this ftest season
James gets the thankless task of organizing logistics supplies deleshygations and the endless bookwork Often caught in the middle of our demands the reali ty of the Australian budget and the nightmare of transshyporting difficult ies he somehow remains Cltllm and diplomatic He spends three weeks in the project office in the district centre at the site and the fourth is spent in the capital Mapmo at the CAA office
Our daughter Leah makes a huge differe n ce to our lives The MozambiGms are enchanted by her James is known as the husband of the mother of the baby I am known as the mother of the baby and Leah is known by her own name throughout the area She comes out with me mornings and spends afternoons with James in the office
As always 1 necd to say morc than there is time for My hope is that this letter wi ll personalize what is happening in southern Africa so that more support will come to stop the war and the terrible sadness all around this region

OAC CO-OP PROGRAM POPULAR WITH STUDENTS AND EMPLOYERS
Co-op education is the only way to go says Janice Parker OAC 86 Her comment is reflective of the overall view held by co-op students and employers alike
The co-operative education proshygram which has been available to OAC students for the past five years formally integrates the students academic srudy with work experience in co-operating employer organishyzations Usually the student alternates four months ofsoldywith four months of work in the agricultu ral industry directly related to his or her field of study
The co-op program provided me with invaluable work experience in the food science field This experience also enabled me to get an overseas job (through an international exshychange association ) inmy field says Janice who worked as a research assistant in an alcohol company in Finland
Janice says the practical lessons learned on work tenus made classshyroom theory easier to understand She also says the co-op program gave her the benefits of increased selfshyconfidence and the ability to present herse lf well at a job interview Employment interviews generally occur on campus in the middle of the academic term preceding each work semester The interviews are comshypetitive in nature as are the salaries paid by employers which usually average S 1100-$ 1500 per month
Kenda Allen OAC 86 says the coshyop program definitely helps with finances Besides earning money you only pay for four months of your education at a time
While in the program Kenda worked terms as a fieldperson with the Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation as a horse show entry clerk with the Royal Wi nter fair and as a rural organization specialist assistant with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food She now works full-time as associate editor of the
Canadian Ay rshire Review which promotes the Ayrshire breed
My experience in the co-op program helped me obtain obtain my present job I al 0 made contacts which w ill continue to benefi t my career says Kenda
By working at a variety of jobs Kenda explains she was able to narrow down her options and fi nd the correct path to take
Kenda says she also enjoyed the break from the books every four months which allowed her to apply what she was learning
Equally Enthusiastic Employers are equally enthusiastic
about the program Paul Nelson OAC 70 MA 72 vice-preSident of manufacturing and technical services at Corporate Foods in Toronto participated in earlyplanning scssions for the co-op program He cant understand why anyone would not choose the p rogram and feels that ifit had been available when he was a student it would have been very beneficial to him
Paul says the program gives students and employers a chance to assess one another during a fXed time-frame If the students do well he says his company is committed to hiring them on a permanent basis when the opportunity arises We always tell them to keep in touch he says We have found Guelph sOldents to be eager capable and adaptable
Doug Flint OAC 85 who spent two work terms with Corporate Foods was hired permanently as a quality assurance and sanitation supervisor In his case the program came full circle when he hired Guelph co-op student Brenda Ternyik as his assistant last summer and Kelly Newell OAC 82 as his permanenr assistant recently
Doug says the program is a good method of screening for both students and employers It helped me decide what [ did and did not want to do career-wise and it set me up for a
permanent job The company in rum was hiring someone they already knew something about
Suzanne Raymond OAC 77 a research and development manager with Pillsbury Canada Ltd in Toronto says her company has hired many coshyop students as research and developshyment technicians Since product development is seasonal the four month time-frame for work terms is especially suitable for Pillsbury Students undertake short-term proshyjects where it would be uneconomical to hire full-time employees
Suzanne says Pillsbury originally got involved with the co-op program from a recruiting standpoint It gives us exposure to the students and we can test how well they work she says It also gives us exposure to I what is happening at the University in terms of research and the food industry
Suzanne says another benefit is the freshness and vitality students bring with them to the job She has found them on the whole to be very good workers
Louis Paul Ricard a manager with Cargill Ltd a grain company that services both domestic and export markets says the co-op program gives his company a good idea of the calibre of student coming out of university today The work they do is a real contribution to the company as well
Cargills first co-op student Don foster OAC 86 has been hired full shytime as a grain merchant While on work terms with CargiU he had jobs in both Ontario and Alberta Don says an advantage of the co-op program is the opportunity to live and work in different areas of the country
Cargill also hired the co -op programs first crop science graduate John Ormrod OAC 85 who now works in Saskatchewan

ENGLISH INSTRUCTION SUPERIOR IN CANADA
Dear Editor I have taught Human Anatomy and
Physiology for 24 years ( Deparlment ofBiological Sciences State University of New York College of Arts and Science at Plattsburgh New York) and last falL semester in addition to this subject I was asked to teach a new departmental offering Comshymunicating Biology
Because college undergraduates including graduating seniors for the most part write poorly particularly in their major our cOllege has decided to do something about this national problem we have instituted a college-wide rccruitment that all juniors must take the writing course now he ing offered within their rcspective majors
( was asked to teach this course on the basis of my writing abili ties as perceived by the biology faculty of this college Whatever strengths I have in this area they evolved prishymarilyas a result of my extensive preshycollege and college instruction in English composition and English literature in Ontario schooLs
I first recognized the advantages of tIns education in graduate schools in
the United States and subsequently I have become even more appreciative of this exten ive training as a faculty member involved in the preparation of grant proposals and research publications for the past 26 years
Unless there have been changes of which I anl unaware most certainly the instruction in English composition

The selection criteria are similar to those for the Winegard Medal One of the early medalists Christine Zink OVC 78 points to the importance of
the qualities Guelph is seeking in its students
it is very important that candishydates demonstrate a balance in their interests and activities When I was teaching at ove I came to know students who achieved AU averages by studying to the exclusion of all other activities These people did not contribute to the lives of others nor did such one-sided lives really benefit them After graduation job opporshytunities are gained and lost on the basis of ones ability to communicate with others Induding leadership skills and sportsmanship in the criteria for awards such as the Winegard Medal
and the Presidents Scholarships emphasizes the importance of leading a balanced life
Dr Zink is now doing post-doctoral research at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore studying viruses that cause diseases similar to AIDS in sheep and goats

ARTS GRAD WINS KUDOS FOR STAGE PERFORMANCE
It took three years for Janet Land Arts 80 to make up her mind that she really wanted to be a professional actress After graduation from the University of Guelph she dabbled in amateur theatre and earned her Bachelor ofEducation at the University ofOttawa before taking the plunge and moving to Toronto to establish herself on the stage and in film
Now w i th four years on the professhysional circuit to her credit Janets career decision is paying off In March she finished touring to good reviews in the powerful drama Firedeveloped at Thunder Bays Magnus Theatre and co-produced by the National Arts Centre Theatre Company of Ottawa the Centaur Theatre Company of Montreal and the Citadel Theatre of Edmonton
Written by Paul Ledoux and David Young Fire is based very loosely on the life of musician Jerry Lee Lewis and his evangelist cousin J immy Swaggart It explores the conflict between the power of religion and the electric excitement of rock and roll
Janets role in Fire was Molly who is modelled very 100 ely on the 13shyyear-old cousin Lewis married
Shes a wonderful character who goes from tbe age of 13 to 35 says Janet She is caught between two men one a rock and roller the other a fimdanlentalist preacher
OfJanets performance the Globe and Mail wrote Janet Land is a capable actress who has a special knack for projecting what may be called intelligent sweetness And Molly is the only female role in the show a role that calls for a range from a 13 year olds naivete to the chastened near bitterness of early middle age Land is in a sense playing several different people and the character is more complex than might be imagined at first
Macleans wrote As MolJy King Land effortlessly porlrays the transformation from bubbly teenager to trim matron
With such reviews Janets name is becoming better know but it has
janet Land Arts 80
been an uphill clinlb During her first year as an actress when not many roles were coming her way she had to supplement her income by supply teaching and working part-time at Blacks Cameras Her first professional production was The Fantastiks at Leah Posluns Theatre in Toronto Although she played the lead ofLouisa in this musical it was a non-equity role Then she appeared in two Blyth Festival productions the comedy Cakewalk by Colleen Curran and the mystery A Spider in the House by Brian Tremblay Next she was invited to do a musical version of Scrooge at Theatre New Brunswick With these three professional productions she earned her Actors Equity card and is grateful to Blyth for giving her that opportunity
Janet has appeared in vMious teleshyvision commercials and had a small role in the CBC production Charlie Grants War For three months last summer she had fun playing Sister Mary Amnesia in Toronto Workshop Productions Nunsense and she also had a chance to workshop a new Canadian play called Little Miss Easter Seals an autobiography about polio victim Lina Chartrand The play was workshopped at Le Theatre du Petit Bonheur the only French theatre in Toronto Janets major at Guelph was French ( drama was her minor) and she is biligual
It was wonderful to work in
French I hope I get to do more plays in that language The French people are very passionate she says
Janet appeared in three Department ofDranla productions while attending Guelph - Chamber Music in 1977 The journey of the Fifth Horse in 1978 and The Miser in 1979 When she thinks of her training at Guelph she thinks of her drama professor Harry Lane who guided her through two of those productions
The highlight of my week used to be Monday morning dranu classes Wed start with coffee and those deli shycious Danishes from Massey Hall and then wed run through our exercises r learned not only about acting but the behind-the-scenes work like lighting and costumes as well Im grateful for that she recalls
Janet doesnt regret her decision to pursue an acting career She finds it very fulfilling She is even getting used to the insecurity ofnot knowing where the next rolc is coming from She didnt have any work lined up after Fire but was certain something would tum up
Something always does she added with the self-assuredness ofUl actress who is starting to be noticed
AT STRATFORD If youre planning to attend the Stratford Festival this year watch for Peter DonaldsOn Arts 15 Peter is appearing with The Young Company on the Third Stage as)acques in As You Like ltfrom May 28-5eptember p as Capulet in Romeo and ju1et from May 29September 5 and asMa on inJourneysElldfronl July14-SepteInber 5

After graduating she amwered an advertisement in the newspaper and headed West to take a job as dietitian and housekeeper in a 200-be d teaching hospital in Regina
I never worked so hard in my life Etta says of her year at the hospital Although she enjoyed the work When the year was up I was tired out she says So she accepted a teaching position at a prairie school at Tuxford Sask She taught there
Etta (Birdsall) Gamham Mac 17D
until the flu epidemic in 1918 closed all the schools She then turned her attention to nursing the sick until she got the flu herself
She can still remember being bedshyridden at the home of a farm family when she heard the news on Novemshy

Etta returned home in 1919 to teach first in St Catharines then at Mabees Corners and finally at Guysboro where she met her husband Lee the eligible young farmer who lived across the road from the school They were married in July of 1921 and enjoyed 62 years together before his death four years ago
She continued teaching afte r marriage but only when she was needed she says because farm work kept her busy then
Ive had a lovely life Etta says And although she is now confined to a wheelchair she says shes been as healthy as can be all my life
Asked if there is any secret to her longevity she quickly responds choose your grandfather wisely because you inherit your health She points out her own father lived to be 99 and her grandmother lived to be 100

MILESTONE CE EBRATION FOR OVC
With a flourish of kilts and bagshypipes OVC began celebrating its 125th birthday February 12 The COllege is the oldest veterinary school in continuous operation in North and South America
A special lecture by eminent Scotshytish scientist Dr WilJiam FH Jarrett whose work pioneered AIDS research commemorated the founding of the College and the unique contributions of the veterinary medical profession in the advancement of scientific knowledge and disease control
Dr Jarrett of the University of Glasgow Veterinary School gave a public lecture Vacdnation Against Retroviruses From FAIDS to AIDS His work on Feline Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (FAIDS) has been the basis for subsequent research into AIDS
Dr jarretts lecture took place in War Memorial Hall exactly 125 years after OVCs inaugural address was delivered in Toronto by another Scotsman founder Andrew Smith
Dr Smi th a graduate of the Edinburgh School of Veterinary Medicine was brought to Toronto by the Board of Agriculture of Upper Canada to open a veterinary practice and provide instruction He operated the school under private charter in Toronto until 1908 when it became aftlliated with the University of Toronto nle College moved to Guelph in 1922 becoming a coshyoperative neighbor for the OAC The two later joined with Macdonald Institute to become the founding Colleges of the University of Guelph in 1964
Since the issue of Dr Smiths charshyter the College has contributed substantially to the improvement of public health says OVC Dean Ole Nielsen College faculty were instrushymenta] in the development of milkshytesting programs for mastitis and were involved in the livestock vaccination and testing programs that led to the elimination of tuberculosis and brucellosis in humans and animals
In keeping with the Scottish theme Dr Dean Percy ave 57 MSc 66 a professor in the Department OfPathology piped Dr William PH Jarrett into War Memorial Hall for his special lecture February 12 Also in the procession were President Burt Matthews ave Dean Ole Nielsen specially invited ave retirees andplatform guests (Photo by Tim Sullivan)
They were pioneers in domestic ani shymal surgery and among the first veterinarians to adopt modem surgical techniques Faculty researchers also perfected techniques for the artificial insemination ofdairy cattle and swine and for freezing bull semen
Researdl efforts have continually expanded in areas of comparative medicine where human and vetershyinary medicine cross paths The College is now at the forefront of research on organ transplants and bone surgery and research is proshyceeding in other areas of potential benefit to human medicine including genetically engineered vaccines and cancer research
Each year thousands ofanimals are brought to the ColJege for study and treatment The 2000 patients treated at the large animal clinic last year included an elephant a kangaroo and a gnu Almost 8000 animals visited the small animal clinic and more than 16000 farm animals - mostly cattle
- were seen in the ambulatory clinics herd health program The Colleges wild bird clinic is the only one of its kind in Canada
OVCs department of patholOgy is the Norlh American centre for reshysearch on marine animals and the Canadian centre for diagnostic expershytise in fish pathology The College is closely affiliated with the new Guelph Centre for Equine Research
OVCs influence on the intershynational scene has been substantial Students comefrom around the world (0 study at the undergraduate gradshyuate and post-graduate levels In 1974 the College joined the Canadian international Development Agency in establishing a veterinary school in Malaysia the first in southeast Asia
Celebrations for OVCs 125th birthday will continue throughout the year A highlight onJune 19 is the official opening of the Colleges new Sl35-million large animal faCility

PROGRAM AIMS TO ATTRACT BRIGHTEST STUDENTS
By Sandra Couch Public Relations and Information
The Universitys share of the best and brightest first-year students in the physical sciences could well increase with the introduction of a challenging interdisciplinary one-year pilot project called MPC2 (for Mathematics-Physics-Chemistry-Comshyputing Science ) says Professor Ernie McFarland Physics
Professor McFarland chairman of the CPS interdiSciplinary curriculum committee says the basic introductory courses now in place were designed to serve all tbe students in classes that often reach 300 in size Very bright students the committee found were not as stimulated as they could have been
With the courses as they werewe were not attracting the quantity or quality of students we hoped in areas like physics chemistry and bioshychemistry mathematiCs statistics and computing science says Professor McFarland
The committee has designed a number of new first-year courses which require a minimum average of 80 per cent for admission The courses will combine mathematics physics chemistry and computing and are structured to foster a better appreshyciation of the inter-connections between the disCiplines says Professor McFarland The more challenging courses will also enable bright highly qualified and motivated students to choose one or two additional elective courses in their first year
Professor McFarland admits the project is a departure from the usual departmental philosophy and says the one-year trial period will allow CPS to crawl before we walk He says a successful evaluation at the end of the trial period could lead to possible joint degrees in the areas of physics and chemistry or mathematics and computing
It could well be the first stage for a number of other interdisciplinary ventures in the College beyond the
first -year level says Professor Mcfarland
Acting CPS Dean Rod Gentry says the new intensive program will likely attrlct more of the best students to Guelph because in the sciences the best stude nts are very selective consumers Theyre looking for the best program while theyre still in high school
Former CPS Dean now Vice-President AcademicjackMacDonald conceived MPCZ because he believed that the way physical sciences were
being taught was historical and antiquated He says the departmental divisions in universities are almost tribal in nature and often lead to an arbitrary and artificial division of subject matter
Professor MacDonald says MPCZ which will be offered for the first time in September is consistent with the Universitys aims and objectives and is also consistent with the learning objectives in that it takes a holistic viewpoint in the teaching and learning of the material
GLASSBLOWE RHONORED Unive rSity glassblower Anne Hostetter has been honored by the American Scientific Glassblowers Society (ASGS) in Cincinnati Ohio for her paper Quartz EPR Flat Cel The Fischer and Porter Company of Pennsylvania offers the annual Kermit-Fischer Award in recognition of the best paper presented at the previous years symposium
The paper is selected by a jury from the ASGS on the basis of content app li cat ion presentat ion style graphics use and text
A quartz EPR flat cell is a difficult piece of glassware to make Ms Hostetter says but it is useful in EPR spectroscopy because it allows the 5anlple to be pOSitioned in the densest part of the magnetic field without interfe rence from the electric component of the rad iation
Ms Hostetter has used the techshynique described in her paper sucshycessfully for eight to nine years She forms the flat sides of the cell from two pieces of quartz glass with bevelled edges When spaced proshyperly the bevelled glass forms a V into which a length ofquartz piping is fitted and melted to seal the edges The standard spacing between the two pieces of flat glass is 25 mm
although she has made cells as small as 12 mm and as large as I mm
A 25-minute educaHonal videotape about the technique described in Ms Hostetters paper is available through the ASGS

WOMEN IN SCIENCE GATHER
About 80 women gathered on campus in February to hear Dr Lynda Pinnington talk about career planning forwomen in science Dr Pinnjngton beads Pinn ington Associates of Cambridge a consulting firm that focuses on applied productivity improvement techniques for business and industry Discussants for the careers night were Brenda Bonnett OVC 79 a PhD sludent in the Department of Veterinary Micro shybiology and Immunology and Jan Kaufman Library who is on the Preshysidents Advisory Council day care task force
This was the second event planned by an informal group of women scienshytists at Guelph Professors Susan Mclver chair of the Department of Enviro nmenta l Bio logy Mary Beverley-Burton Zoology and Janet Wood Chemistry and Biochemistry have been the moving forces behind this organization which has blosshysomed into a nucleus of about a dozen women representing aU the science colleges at Guelph They say the groups purpose is to increase awareness of the role of women in science and the opportunities and obstacles they may encounter The group also encourages informal netshyworking and social contacts
Weve avoided creating a formal structure Professor McIver says Meetings are held on an irregular basis and there are no official officers
In addition to offering careers nights the group has compiled a list of women in science at Guelph using the criteria ofa degree in science and employment at the University
Questions raised by the group re shysulted in the updating of the 1975 report of the Presidents Task Force on the status of women at the ni shyversity which led to the formation of the Presidents Advisory Committee on Equal Rights for Men and Women at the University of Guelph This committee chaired by Professor McIver will release a report this spring

OAC GRADUATE WRITES FROM MOZAMBIQUE
Ruth Beilin born and raised in Guelph graduated jromjohn F Ross C VI and earned a BA and a Dipshyloma in Agriculture She worked at the University and in Saskatchewan before going to Papua New Guinea with CUSO as an agricultural extension worker There she met her husband an Australian lawyer who was working in rural development After two years in New Guinea she attended Reading University in England and received an MSc in Agriculture Extension She joinedher husband in Australia and together they apPlied to work on anAustralian government project in Mozambique This is the first ofher letters (written in the summer Of 1986) on life and development in that war-torn country Ruth can be contacted at the follOwing address CAA cP 356 Maputo Mozambique
Life in Mozambique is a series of contrasts and challenges The area where we live is a fertile coastal strip that has been cultivated for at least 50 years - some parts longer Coconut palms wave in the breeze - their languid trunks arching over the dense foliage of the cashew trees planted between their rows The latifundia system practised by the Portuguese meant that as a rule local families had less than two hectares each of usually marginal land to farm for subsistence purposltS and that generally they could not grow permanent tree crops on these family spaces Therefore the wealth from these crops remained with the colonial farmers
Today the state is just beginning a large land reform program What it will mean in real terms is difficult to assess given the huge numbers of dislocated families from the interior dry areas and more desperate war zones The theory is that these families will be able to return to their own farm lands and accumulate more land there assuming that the war and
Ruth Beilin OAC 74
these years of drought and fanline will soon be over
The Mozambicans survive on their abilities as farmers The suffering and deprivation have made them strong conservationists sensitive to their crops and soils But some of the obstacles they face are overwhelming - broken (Ools scarce seed loss of animals Everything is a struggle
Village meetings are stimulating and full of lengthy debate Storyshytelling animation dancing and singing form an important part of the culture The present govenunent has used these means (0 awaken a political consciousness among the people who tend to be passive and accept their circumstances
Our group is not radical but we are different and perhaps threatening to this passivity Mozambicans are tired from hard work long years of fighting a declining economy and many reorganizations of agricultural policy We talk about self-sufficiency (which translated means more work) We talk about development but in agricultural terms offer no pesticides (except naturally occuring ones) import no tractors or cultivators and generally seem to be less modern than the Portuguese who left ten years ago We are not just talking
about rehabilitation but a whole developmental philosophy which is distinct from the projects of other development agencies in nearby districts Although the communities we work in agree that the long-term benefits are valid they must wonder when life is going to become easier
Through all this nms the struggle in southern Africa - the link between the apartheid regime in South Africa and the war in Mozanlbique and indeed in aU the frontline states This war destabilizes the countryside and terrorizes the people rfhe longer we live here and witness this nightmare the more we realize that the end of the war will not be because of things or people in Mozambique This is a war supported by the foreign policies of the West Countries that continue to support South Africa give strength to the South African economy strength that is translated into soldiers anlIDunition supplies and support for the bandidosannados - the armed bandits fighting FREUMO the legal Mozambican govenunent
I could weep when President Reagan says the American support for Jonas Savimbi against the Angolan government and Americas refusal to impose sanctions on South Africa maintains the balance of power between East and West He should stand on the ground where the price is being paid and teU the mourning villagers the dying and the maimed that the world is a better place for this carnage and that the chess games ofthe big men are the real value of human life
Many other countries play sinillar ifsmaller or less direct roles with the future ofsouthern Africa The tragedy of this land is the riches and vast potent ial which attract olltside interest and cost it dearly in ternlS of human resources
James and I first heard about the Rural Development Project in August 1984 when we were working for Community Aid Abroad (CAA) in
24
Australia At that time there was optimism about Mozambique The Nkomati Peace Accord was to end South Mrkas support for the bandits in exchange for diminished support from Mozambique for the African National Congress The project was to be an integrated rural development scheme in health water and agrishyculture
But the war has not ended and it is a constant stumbling block to all aspirations and plans not to mention wearing on ones spirit Still that potential and challenge are alluring and we plod on down the developshyment road trying to build up organization and infrastructure Waiting for the day when things may normalize (After 10 years of war what is normal)
We arrived in Mozambique in April 1985 with James as project director and me as agriculturalist The health team ( a midwife and doctor ) and the community development worker arrived in late August and the water engineer in January 1986 The six of us live on the project site in a nleal district centre The official language is Portuguese and our official work is in that language However the people generally speak their own languages and so communication below the official level continues to be difficult Still they are very patient with our attempts to communicate and live in their communities
My own work is starting to become more visible Three agricultural technicians and I have organized a program of support for the fdmily sector in agriculture This is largely an education extension system that operates on three levels The first level consists of training zone representatives in practical demonshystrations ofagricultural techniques in their home area ( each zone has roughly 60 families and is represented by one man and woman chosen by their community) The zone reps are linked in training sessions and in countryside visits to the second level - an enquadradore who is basically the official link to the district agricultural system There are only five functioning enquadradores in a district of 110000 or more people so we had pound0 create the agricultural reps to make the enquadradores task possible The training program for the enquadradores is critically important because they have no agriculturaJ background but must collect and transmit agricultural information The third level is the agricultural technicians themselves These young counterparts are likely to be the directors and administrators of the future They are also the direct teaching link to the people
After months of meetings and discussions at every level of village and district structure we swung into operation with the agriculture reps
program and the horticultural crops campaign ThankfuUy some of the long-awaited tools - hoes bush knives and seeds - also arrived It is too early to know what the results might be but we are optimistic that with good rains and no bandits family sector food production will show an improvement this ftest season
James gets the thankless task of organizing logistics supplies deleshygations and the endless bookwork Often caught in the middle of our demands the reali ty of the Australian budget and the nightmare of transshyporting difficult ies he somehow remains Cltllm and diplomatic He spends three weeks in the project office in the district centre at the site and the fourth is spent in the capital Mapmo at the CAA office
Our daughter Leah makes a huge differe n ce to our lives The MozambiGms are enchanted by her James is known as the husband of the mother of the baby I am known as the mother of the baby and Leah is known by her own name throughout the area She comes out with me mornings and spends afternoons with James in the office
As always 1 necd to say morc than there is time for My hope is that this letter wi ll personalize what is happening in southern Africa so that more support will come to stop the war and the terrible sadness all around this region

OAC CO-OP PROGRAM POPULAR WITH STUDENTS AND EMPLOYERS
Co-op education is the only way to go says Janice Parker OAC 86 Her comment is reflective of the overall view held by co-op students and employers alike
The co-operative education proshygram which has been available to OAC students for the past five years formally integrates the students academic srudy with work experience in co-operating employer organishyzations Usually the student alternates four months ofsoldywith four months of work in the agricultu ral industry directly related to his or her field of study
The co-op program provided me with invaluable work experience in the food science field This experience also enabled me to get an overseas job (through an international exshychange association ) inmy field says Janice who worked as a research assistant in an alcohol company in Finland
Janice says the practical lessons learned on work tenus made classshyroom theory easier to understand She also says the co-op program gave her the benefits of increased selfshyconfidence and the ability to present herse lf well at a job interview Employment interviews generally occur on campus in the middle of the academic term preceding each work semester The interviews are comshypetitive in nature as are the salaries paid by employers which usually average S 1100-$ 1500 per month
Kenda Allen OAC 86 says the coshyop program definitely helps with finances Besides earning money you only pay for four months of your education at a time
While in the program Kenda worked terms as a fieldperson with the Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation as a horse show entry clerk with the Royal Wi nter fair and as a rural organization specialist assistant with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food She now works full-time as associate editor of the
Canadian Ay rshire Review which promotes the Ayrshire breed
My experience in the co-op program helped me obtain obtain my present job I al 0 made contacts which w ill continue to benefi t my career says Kenda
By working at a variety of jobs Kenda explains she was able to narrow down her options and fi nd the correct path to take
Kenda says she also enjoyed the break from the books every four months which allowed her to apply what she was learning
Equally Enthusiastic Employers are equally enthusiastic
about the program Paul Nelson OAC 70 MA 72 vice-preSident of manufacturing and technical services at Corporate Foods in Toronto participated in earlyplanning scssions for the co-op program He cant understand why anyone would not choose the p rogram and feels that ifit had been available when he was a student it would have been very beneficial to him
Paul says the program gives students and employers a chance to assess one another during a fXed time-frame If the students do well he says his company is committed to hiring them on a permanent basis when the opportunity arises We always tell them to keep in touch he says We have found Guelph sOldents to be eager capable and adaptable
Doug Flint OAC 85 who spent two work terms with Corporate Foods was hired permanently as a quality assurance and sanitation supervisor In his case the program came full circle when he hired Guelph co-op student Brenda Ternyik as his assistant last summer and Kelly Newell OAC 82 as his permanenr assistant recently
Doug says the program is a good method of screening for both students and employers It helped me decide what [ did and did not want to do career-wise and it set me up for a
permanent job The company in rum was hiring someone they already knew something about
Suzanne Raymond OAC 77 a research and development manager with Pillsbury Canada Ltd in Toronto says her company has hired many coshyop students as research and developshyment technicians Since product development is seasonal the four month time-frame for work terms is especially suitable for Pillsbury Students undertake short-term proshyjects where it would be uneconomical to hire full-time employees
Suzanne says Pillsbury originally got involved with the co-op program from a recruiting standpoint It gives us exposure to the students and we can test how well they work she says It also gives us exposure to I what is happening at the University in terms of research and the food industry
Suzanne says another benefit is the freshness and vitality students bring with them to the job She has found them on the whole to be very good workers
Louis Paul Ricard a manager with Cargill Ltd a grain company that services both domestic and export markets says the co-op program gives his company a good idea of the calibre of student coming out of university today The work they do is a real contribution to the company as well
Cargills first co-op student Don foster OAC 86 has been hired full shytime as a grain merchant While on work terms with CargiU he had jobs in both Ontario and Alberta Don says an advantage of the co-op program is the opportunity to live and work in different areas of the country
Cargill also hired the co -op programs first crop science graduate John Ormrod OAC 85 who now works in Saskatchewan

PRESIDENTS SCHOLARSHIPS EMPHASIZE LEADERSHIP
The Presidents Scholarships the Universitys most prestigious undershygraduate awards are designed to attract the cream of Canadian young people to Guelph
The 10 annual awards worth $16000 each over the course of an eight -semester honors degree will go to students with exceptional leadership qualities as well as acashydemic ability President Burt Matthews describes the prospective winners as people who will be leaders in society
The selection criteria are similar to those for the Winegard Medal One of the early medalists Christine Zink OVC 78 points to the importance of
the qualities Guelph is seeking in its students
it is very important that candishydates demonstrate a balance in their interests and activities When I was teaching at ove I came to know students who achieved AU averages by studying to the exclusion of all other activities These people did not contribute to the lives of others nor did such one-sided lives really benefit them After graduation job opporshytunities are gained and lost on the basis of ones ability to communicate with others Induding leadership skills and sportsmanship in the criteria for awards such as the Winegard Medal
and the Presidents Scholarships emphasizes the importance of leading a balanced life
Dr Zink is now doing post-doctoral research at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore studying viruses that cause diseases similar to AIDS in sheep and goats
The ftrst PresidentS Scholarship winners will he announced in June Before then nominees will be invited to visit campus and meet faculty in their areas of interest The winners wiU be honored at a lunch given by President Matthews in September Nominations made by school prinshycipals dosed April I

ARTS GRAD WINS KUDOS FOR STAGE PERFORMANCE
It took three years for Janet Land Arts 80 to make up her mind that she really wanted to be a professional actress After graduation from the University of Guelph she dabbled in amateur theatre and earned her Bachelor ofEducation at the University ofOttawa before taking the plunge and moving to Toronto to establish herself on the stage and in film
Now w i th four years on the professhysional circuit to her credit Janets career decision is paying off In March she finished touring to good reviews in the powerful drama Firedeveloped at Thunder Bays Magnus Theatre and co-produced by the National Arts Centre Theatre Company of Ottawa the Centaur Theatre Company of Montreal and the Citadel Theatre of Edmonton
Written by Paul Ledoux and David Young Fire is based very loosely on the life of musician Jerry Lee Lewis and his evangelist cousin J immy Swaggart It explores the conflict between the power of religion and the electric excitement of rock and roll
Janets role in Fire was Molly who is modelled very 100 ely on the 13shyyear-old cousin Lewis married
Shes a wonderful character who goes from tbe age of 13 to 35 says Janet She is caught between two men one a rock and roller the other a fimdanlentalist preacher
OfJanets performance the Globe and Mail wrote Janet Land is a capable actress who has a special knack for projecting what may be called intelligent sweetness And Molly is the only female role in the show a role that calls for a range from a 13 year olds naivete to the chastened near bitterness of early middle age Land is in a sense playing several different people and the character is more complex than might be imagined at first
Macleans wrote As MolJy King Land effortlessly porlrays the transformation from bubbly teenager to trim matron
With such reviews Janets name is becoming better know but it has
janet Land Arts 80
been an uphill clinlb During her first year as an actress when not many roles were coming her way she had to supplement her income by supply teaching and working part-time at Blacks Cameras Her first professional production was The Fantastiks at Leah Posluns Theatre in Toronto Although she played the lead ofLouisa in this musical it was a non-equity role Then she appeared in two Blyth Festival productions the comedy Cakewalk by Colleen Curran and the mystery A Spider in the House by Brian Tremblay Next she was invited to do a musical version of Scrooge at Theatre New Brunswick With these three professional productions she earned her Actors Equity card and is grateful to Blyth for giving her that opportunity
Janet has appeared in vMious teleshyvision commercials and had a small role in the CBC production Charlie Grants War For three months last summer she had fun playing Sister Mary Amnesia in Toronto Workshop Productions Nunsense and she also had a chance to workshop a new Canadian play called Little Miss Easter Seals an autobiography about polio victim Lina Chartrand The play was workshopped at Le Theatre du Petit Bonheur the only French theatre in Toronto Janets major at Guelph was French ( drama was her minor) and she is biligual
It was wonderful to work in
French I hope I get to do more plays in that language The French people are very passionate she says
Janet appeared in three Department ofDranla productions while attending Guelph - Chamber Music in 1977 The journey of the Fifth Horse in 1978 and The Miser in 1979 When she thinks of her training at Guelph she thinks of her drama professor Harry Lane who guided her through two of those productions
The highlight of my week used to be Monday morning dranu classes Wed start with coffee and those deli shycious Danishes from Massey Hall and then wed run through our exercises r learned not only about acting but the behind-the-scenes work like lighting and costumes as well Im grateful for that she recalls
Janet doesnt regret her decision to pursue an acting career She finds it very fulfilling She is even getting used to the insecurity ofnot knowing where the next rolc is coming from She didnt have any work lined up after Fire but was certain something would tum up
Something always does she added with the self-assuredness ofUl actress who is starting to be noticed

Co-editors GRADUATE OF 1917 RETAINS Carol Telford-Pittman 75 Ca il Murray 78INTEREST IN HER ALMA MATER
Etta (Birdsall) Gamham Mac 17D will celebrate her 96th birthday this summer and still maintains a keen interest in the College she graduated from many years ago
She attended Macdonald Institute from 191 5-17 receiving her diploma in ProfessionaJ Housekeeping When she moved into Maple Manor Nursing Home in Tillsonburg two years ago that diploma was one of the things she wanted to take with her says Marlene ( Pfaff) Oatman FACS 75 MA 78 Etta is Marlenes husbands great aunt Marlene teaches in the Departments of Family Studies and So iology and Anthropology and says Aunt Etta wants to know everything I cover in my courses If she doesnt quite understand she gets a book from the library and will quiz me the next time I see her based on what she has read
Etta reads the Guelph Alumnus to keep up with what is happening at the University As well as changes in courses she likes to know about changes in buildings on campus When she was a student she lived in Macdonald Hall
Etta was more adventurous than other young women of her day Born in South Middleton Township in lS91 she attended school at SS 13 in Middleton and Tillsonburg High School until 1905 She graduated from London Normal School in 1909 and at the age of IS undertook her first teaching position at SS 1 Middleton with 49 students in Grades l-S under her sole supervision She continued teaching until 1915 when she decided to return to school to study domestic science at Guelph
After graduating she amwered an advertisement in the newspaper and headed West to take a job as dietitian and housekeeper in a 200-be d teaching hospital in Regina
I never worked so hard in my life Etta says of her year at the hospital Although she enjoyed the work When the year was up I was tired out she says So she accepted a teaching position at a prairie school at Tuxford Sask She taught there
Etta (Birdsall) Gamham Mac 17D
until the flu epidemic in 1918 closed all the schools She then turned her attention to nursing the sick until she got the flu herself
She can still remember being bedshyridden at the home of a farm family when she heard the news on Novemshy
ber 11 1915 thatthe First World War had ended
Etta returned home in 1919 to teach first in St Catharines then at Mabees Corners and finally at Guysboro where she met her husband Lee the eligible young farmer who lived across the road from the school They were married in July of 1921 and enjoyed 62 years together before his death four years ago
She continued teaching afte r marriage but only when she was needed she says because farm work kept her busy then
Ive had a lovely life Etta says And although she is now confined to a wheelchair she says shes been as healthy as can be all my life
Asked if there is any secret to her longevity she quickly responds choose your grandfather wisely because you inherit your health She points out her own father lived to be 99 and her grandmother lived to be 100

Dr Smi th a graduate of the Edinburgh School of Veterinary Medicine was brought to Toronto by the Board of Agriculture of Upper Canada to open a veterinary practice and provide instruction He operated the school under private charter in Toronto until 1908 when it became aftlliated with the University of Toronto nle College moved to Guelph in 1922 becoming a coshyoperative neighbor for the OAC The two later joined with Macdonald Institute to become the founding Colleges of the University of Guelph in 1964
Since the issue of Dr Smiths charshyter the College has contributed substantially to the improvement of public health says OVC Dean Ole Nielsen College faculty were instrushymenta] in the development of milkshytesting programs for mastitis and were involved in the livestock vaccination and testing programs that led to the elimination of tuberculosis and brucellosis in humans and animals
In keeping with the Scottish theme Dr Dean Percy ave 57 MSc 66 a professor in the Department OfPathology piped Dr William PH Jarrett into War Memorial Hall for his special lecture February 12 Also in the procession were President Burt Matthews ave Dean Ole Nielsen specially invited ave retirees andplatform guests (Photo by Tim Sullivan)
They were pioneers in domestic ani shymal surgery and among the first veterinarians to adopt modem surgical techniques Faculty researchers also perfected techniques for the artificial insemination ofdairy cattle and swine and for freezing bull semen
Researdl efforts have continually expanded in areas of comparative medicine where human and vetershyinary medicine cross paths The College is now at the forefront of research on organ transplants and bone surgery and research is proshyceeding in other areas of potential benefit to human medicine including genetically engineered vaccines and cancer research
Each year thousands ofanimals are brought to the ColJege for study and treatment The 2000 patients treated at the large animal clinic last year included an elephant a kangaroo and a gnu Almost 8000 animals visited the small animal clinic and more than 16000 farm animals - mostly cattle
- were seen in the ambulatory clinics herd health program The Colleges wild bird clinic is the only one of its kind in Canada
OVCs department of patholOgy is the Norlh American centre for reshysearch on marine animals and the Canadian centre for diagnostic expershytise in fish pathology The College is closely affiliated with the new Guelph Centre for Equine Research
OVCs influence on the intershynational scene has been substantial Students comefrom around the world (0 study at the undergraduate gradshyuate and post-graduate levels In 1974 the College joined the Canadian international Development Agency in establishing a veterinary school in Malaysia the first in southeast Asia
Celebrations for OVCs 125th birthday will continue throughout the year A highlight onJune 19 is the official opening of the Colleges new Sl35-million large animal faCility

PROGRAM AIMS TO ATTRACT BRIGHTEST STUDENTS
By Sandra Couch Public Relations and Information
The Universitys share of the best and brightest first-year students in the physical sciences could well increase with the introduction of a challenging interdisciplinary one-year pilot project called MPC2 (for Mathematics-Physics-Chemistry-Comshyputing Science ) says Professor Ernie McFarland Physics
Professor McFarland chairman of the CPS interdiSciplinary curriculum committee says the basic introductory courses now in place were designed to serve all tbe students in classes that often reach 300 in size Very bright students the committee found were not as stimulated as they could have been
With the courses as they werewe were not attracting the quantity or quality of students we hoped in areas like physics chemistry and bioshychemistry mathematiCs statistics and computing science says Professor McFarland
The committee has designed a number of new first-year courses which require a minimum average of 80 per cent for admission The courses will combine mathematics physics chemistry and computing and are structured to foster a better appreshyciation of the inter-connections between the disCiplines says Professor McFarland The more challenging courses will also enable bright highly qualified and motivated students to choose one or two additional elective courses in their first year
Professor McFarland admits the project is a departure from the usual departmental philosophy and says the one-year trial period will allow CPS to crawl before we walk He says a successful evaluation at the end of the trial period could lead to possible joint degrees in the areas of physics and chemistry or mathematics and computing
It could well be the first stage for a number of other interdisciplinary ventures in the College beyond the
first -year level says Professor Mcfarland
Acting CPS Dean Rod Gentry says the new intensive program will likely attrlct more of the best students to Guelph because in the sciences the best stude nts are very selective consumers Theyre looking for the best program while theyre still in high school
Former CPS Dean now Vice-President AcademicjackMacDonald conceived MPCZ because he believed that the way physical sciences were
being taught was historical and antiquated He says the departmental divisions in universities are almost tribal in nature and often lead to an arbitrary and artificial division of subject matter
Professor MacDonald says MPCZ which will be offered for the first time in September is consistent with the Universitys aims and objectives and is also consistent with the learning objectives in that it takes a holistic viewpoint in the teaching and learning of the material
GLASSBLOWE RHONORED Unive rSity glassblower Anne Hostetter has been honored by the American Scientific Glassblowers Society (ASGS) in Cincinnati Ohio for her paper Quartz EPR Flat Cel The Fischer and Porter Company of Pennsylvania offers the annual Kermit-Fischer Award in recognition of the best paper presented at the previous years symposium
The paper is selected by a jury from the ASGS on the basis of content app li cat ion presentat ion style graphics use and text
A quartz EPR flat cell is a difficult piece of glassware to make Ms Hostetter says but it is useful in EPR spectroscopy because it allows the 5anlple to be pOSitioned in the densest part of the magnetic field without interfe rence from the electric component of the rad iation
Ms Hostetter has used the techshynique described in her paper sucshycessfully for eight to nine years She forms the flat sides of the cell from two pieces of quartz glass with bevelled edges When spaced proshyperly the bevelled glass forms a V into which a length ofquartz piping is fitted and melted to seal the edges The standard spacing between the two pieces of flat glass is 25 mm
although she has made cells as small as 12 mm and as large as I mm
A 25-minute educaHonal videotape about the technique described in Ms Hostetters paper is available through the ASGS

WOMEN IN SCIENCE GATHER
About 80 women gathered on campus in February to hear Dr Lynda Pinnington talk about career planning forwomen in science Dr Pinnjngton beads Pinn ington Associates of Cambridge a consulting firm that focuses on applied productivity improvement techniques for business and industry Discussants for the careers night were Brenda Bonnett OVC 79 a PhD sludent in the Department of Veterinary Micro shybiology and Immunology and Jan Kaufman Library who is on the Preshysidents Advisory Council day care task force
This was the second event planned by an informal group of women scienshytists at Guelph Professors Susan Mclver chair of the Department of Enviro nmenta l Bio logy Mary Beverley-Burton Zoology and Janet Wood Chemistry and Biochemistry have been the moving forces behind this organization which has blosshysomed into a nucleus of about a dozen women representing aU the science colleges at Guelph They say the groups purpose is to increase awareness of the role of women in science and the opportunities and obstacles they may encounter The group also encourages informal netshyworking and social contacts
Weve avoided creating a formal structure Professor McIver says Meetings are held on an irregular basis and there are no official officers
In addition to offering careers nights the group has compiled a list of women in science at Guelph using the criteria ofa degree in science and employment at the University
Questions raised by the group re shysulted in the updating of the 1975 report of the Presidents Task Force on the status of women at the ni shyversity which led to the formation of the Presidents Advisory Committee on Equal Rights for Men and Women at the University of Guelph This committee chaired by Professor McIver will release a report this spring

OAC GRADUATE WRITES FROM MOZAMBIQUE
Ruth Beilin born and raised in Guelph graduated jromjohn F Ross C VI and earned a BA and a Dipshyloma in Agriculture She worked at the University and in Saskatchewan before going to Papua New Guinea with CUSO as an agricultural extension worker There she met her husband an Australian lawyer who was working in rural development After two years in New Guinea she attended Reading University in England and received an MSc in Agriculture Extension She joinedher husband in Australia and together they apPlied to work on anAustralian government project in Mozambique This is the first ofher letters (written in the summer Of 1986) on life and development in that war-torn country Ruth can be contacted at the follOwing address CAA cP 356 Maputo Mozambique
Life in Mozambique is a series of contrasts and challenges The area where we live is a fertile coastal strip that has been cultivated for at least 50 years - some parts longer Coconut palms wave in the breeze - their languid trunks arching over the dense foliage of the cashew trees planted between their rows The latifundia system practised by the Portuguese meant that as a rule local families had less than two hectares each of usually marginal land to farm for subsistence purposltS and that generally they could not grow permanent tree crops on these family spaces Therefore the wealth from these crops remained with the colonial farmers
Today the state is just beginning a large land reform program What it will mean in real terms is difficult to assess given the huge numbers of dislocated families from the interior dry areas and more desperate war zones The theory is that these families will be able to return to their own farm lands and accumulate more land there assuming that the war and
Ruth Beilin OAC 74
these years of drought and fanline will soon be over
The Mozambicans survive on their abilities as farmers The suffering and deprivation have made them strong conservationists sensitive to their crops and soils But some of the obstacles they face are overwhelming - broken (Ools scarce seed loss of animals Everything is a struggle
Village meetings are stimulating and full of lengthy debate Storyshytelling animation dancing and singing form an important part of the culture The present govenunent has used these means (0 awaken a political consciousness among the people who tend to be passive and accept their circumstances
Our group is not radical but we are different and perhaps threatening to this passivity Mozambicans are tired from hard work long years of fighting a declining economy and many reorganizations of agricultural policy We talk about self-sufficiency (which translated means more work) We talk about development but in agricultural terms offer no pesticides (except naturally occuring ones) import no tractors or cultivators and generally seem to be less modern than the Portuguese who left ten years ago We are not just talking
about rehabilitation but a whole developmental philosophy which is distinct from the projects of other development agencies in nearby districts Although the communities we work in agree that the long-term benefits are valid they must wonder when life is going to become easier
Through all this nms the struggle in southern Africa - the link between the apartheid regime in South Africa and the war in Mozanlbique and indeed in aU the frontline states This war destabilizes the countryside and terrorizes the people rfhe longer we live here and witness this nightmare the more we realize that the end of the war will not be because of things or people in Mozambique This is a war supported by the foreign policies of the West Countries that continue to support South Africa give strength to the South African economy strength that is translated into soldiers anlIDunition supplies and support for the bandidosannados - the armed bandits fighting FREUMO the legal Mozambican govenunent
I could weep when President Reagan says the American support for Jonas Savimbi against the Angolan government and Americas refusal to impose sanctions on South Africa maintains the balance of power between East and West He should stand on the ground where the price is being paid and teU the mourning villagers the dying and the maimed that the world is a better place for this carnage and that the chess games ofthe big men are the real value of human life
Many other countries play sinillar ifsmaller or less direct roles with the future ofsouthern Africa The tragedy of this land is the riches and vast potent ial which attract olltside interest and cost it dearly in ternlS of human resources
James and I first heard about the Rural Development Project in August 1984 when we were working for Community Aid Abroad (CAA) in
24
Australia At that time there was optimism about Mozambique The Nkomati Peace Accord was to end South Mrkas support for the bandits in exchange for diminished support from Mozambique for the African National Congress The project was to be an integrated rural development scheme in health water and agrishyculture
But the war has not ended and it is a constant stumbling block to all aspirations and plans not to mention wearing on ones spirit Still that potential and challenge are alluring and we plod on down the developshyment road trying to build up organization and infrastructure Waiting for the day when things may normalize (After 10 years of war what is normal)
We arrived in Mozambique in April 1985 with James as project director and me as agriculturalist The health team ( a midwife and doctor ) and the community development worker arrived in late August and the water engineer in January 1986 The six of us live on the project site in a nleal district centre The official language is Portuguese and our official work is in that language However the people generally speak their own languages and so communication below the official level continues to be difficult Still they are very patient with our attempts to communicate and live in their communities
My own work is starting to become more visible Three agricultural technicians and I have organized a program of support for the fdmily sector in agriculture This is largely an education extension system that operates on three levels The first level consists of training zone representatives in practical demonshystrations ofagricultural techniques in their home area ( each zone has roughly 60 families and is represented by one man and woman chosen by their community) The zone reps are linked in training sessions and in countryside visits to the second level - an enquadradore who is basically the official link to the district agricultural system There are only five functioning enquadradores in a district of 110000 or more people so we had pound0 create the agricultural reps to make the enquadradores task possible The training program for the enquadradores is critically important because they have no agriculturaJ background but must collect and transmit agricultural information The third level is the agricultural technicians themselves These young counterparts are likely to be the directors and administrators of the future They are also the direct teaching link to the people
After months of meetings and discussions at every level of village and district structure we swung into operation with the agriculture reps
program and the horticultural crops campaign ThankfuUy some of the long-awaited tools - hoes bush knives and seeds - also arrived It is too early to know what the results might be but we are optimistic that with good rains and no bandits family sector food production will show an improvement this ftest season
James gets the thankless task of organizing logistics supplies deleshygations and the endless bookwork Often caught in the middle of our demands the reali ty of the Australian budget and the nightmare of transshyporting difficult ies he somehow remains Cltllm and diplomatic He spends three weeks in the project office in the district centre at the site and the fourth is spent in the capital Mapmo at the CAA office
Our daughter Leah makes a huge differe n ce to our lives The MozambiGms are enchanted by her James is known as the husband of the mother of the baby I am known as the mother of the baby and Leah is known by her own name throughout the area She comes out with me mornings and spends afternoons with James in the office
As always 1 necd to say morc than there is time for My hope is that this letter wi ll personalize what is happening in southern Africa so that more support will come to stop the war and the terrible sadness all around this region

OAC CO-OP PROGRAM POPULAR WITH STUDENTS AND EMPLOYERS
Co-op education is the only way to go says Janice Parker OAC 86 Her comment is reflective of the overall view held by co-op students and employers alike
The co-operative education proshygram which has been available to OAC students for the past five years formally integrates the students academic srudy with work experience in co-operating employer organishyzations Usually the student alternates four months ofsoldywith four months of work in the agricultu ral industry directly related to his or her field of study
The co-op program provided me with invaluable work experience in the food science field This experience also enabled me to get an overseas job (through an international exshychange association ) inmy field says Janice who worked as a research assistant in an alcohol company in Finland
Janice says the practical lessons learned on work tenus made classshyroom theory easier to understand She also says the co-op program gave her the benefits of increased selfshyconfidence and the ability to present herse lf well at a job interview Employment interviews generally occur on campus in the middle of the academic term preceding each work semester The interviews are comshypetitive in nature as are the salaries paid by employers which usually average S 1100-$ 1500 per month
Kenda Allen OAC 86 says the coshyop program definitely helps with finances Besides earning money you only pay for four months of your education at a time
While in the program Kenda worked terms as a fieldperson with the Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation as a horse show entry clerk with the Royal Wi nter fair and as a rural organization specialist assistant with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food She now works full-time as associate editor of the
Canadian Ay rshire Review which promotes the Ayrshire breed
My experience in the co-op program helped me obtain obtain my present job I al 0 made contacts which w ill continue to benefi t my career says Kenda
By working at a variety of jobs Kenda explains she was able to narrow down her options and fi nd the correct path to take
Kenda says she also enjoyed the break from the books every four months which allowed her to apply what she was learning
Equally Enthusiastic Employers are equally enthusiastic
about the program Paul Nelson OAC 70 MA 72 vice-preSident of manufacturing and technical services at Corporate Foods in Toronto participated in earlyplanning scssions for the co-op program He cant understand why anyone would not choose the p rogram and feels that ifit had been available when he was a student it would have been very beneficial to him
Paul says the program gives students and employers a chance to assess one another during a fXed time-frame If the students do well he says his company is committed to hiring them on a permanent basis when the opportunity arises We always tell them to keep in touch he says We have found Guelph sOldents to be eager capable and adaptable
Doug Flint OAC 85 who spent two work terms with Corporate Foods was hired permanently as a quality assurance and sanitation supervisor In his case the program came full circle when he hired Guelph co-op student Brenda Ternyik as his assistant last summer and Kelly Newell OAC 82 as his permanenr assistant recently
Doug says the program is a good method of screening for both students and employers It helped me decide what [ did and did not want to do career-wise and it set me up for a
permanent job The company in rum was hiring someone they already knew something about
Suzanne Raymond OAC 77 a research and development manager with Pillsbury Canada Ltd in Toronto says her company has hired many coshyop students as research and developshyment technicians Since product development is seasonal the four month time-frame for work terms is especially suitable for Pillsbury Students undertake short-term proshyjects where it would be uneconomical to hire full-time employees
Suzanne says Pillsbury originally got involved with the co-op program from a recruiting standpoint It gives us exposure to the students and we can test how well they work she says It also gives us exposure to I what is happening at the University in terms of research and the food industry
Suzanne says another benefit is the freshness and vitality students bring with them to the job She has found them on the whole to be very good workers
Louis Paul Ricard a manager with Cargill Ltd a grain company that services both domestic and export markets says the co-op program gives his company a good idea of the calibre of student coming out of university today The work they do is a real contribution to the company as well
Cargills first co-op student Don foster OAC 86 has been hired full shytime as a grain merchant While on work terms with CargiU he had jobs in both Ontario and Alberta Don says an advantage of the co-op program is the opportunity to live and work in different areas of the country
Cargill also hired the co -op programs first crop science graduate John Ormrod OAC 85 who now works in Saskatchewan

ARTS GRAD WINS KUDOS FOR STAGE PERFORMANCE
It took three years for Janet Land Arts 80 to make up her mind that she really wanted to be a professional actress After graduation from the University of Guelph she dabbled in amateur theatre and earned her Bachelor ofEducation at the University ofOttawa before taking the plunge and moving to Toronto to establish herself on the stage and in film
Now w i th four years on the professhysional circuit to her credit Janets career decision is paying off In March she finished touring to good reviews in the powerful drama Firedeveloped at Thunder Bays Magnus Theatre and co-produced by the National Arts Centre Theatre Company of Ottawa the Centaur Theatre Company of Montreal and the Citadel Theatre of Edmonton
Written by Paul Ledoux and David Young Fire is based very loosely on the life of musician Jerry Lee Lewis and his evangelist cousin J immy Swaggart It explores the conflict between the power of religion and the electric excitement of rock and roll
Janets role in Fire was Molly who is modelled very 100 ely on the 13shyyear-old cousin Lewis married
Shes a wonderful character who goes from tbe age of 13 to 35 says Janet She is caught between two men one a rock and roller the other a fimdanlentalist preacher
OfJanets performance the Globe and Mail wrote Janet Land is a capable actress who has a special knack for projecting what may be called intelligent sweetness And Molly is the only female role in the show a role that calls for a range from a 13 year olds naivete to the chastened near bitterness of early middle age Land is in a sense playing several different people and the character is more complex than might be imagined at first
Macleans wrote As MolJy King Land effortlessly porlrays the transformation from bubbly teenager to trim matron
With such reviews Janets name is becoming better know but it has
janet Land Arts 80
been an uphill clinlb During her first year as an actress when not many roles were coming her way she had to supplement her income by supply teaching and working part-time at Blacks Cameras Her first professional production was The Fantastiks at Leah Posluns Theatre in Toronto Although she played the lead ofLouisa in this musical it was a non-equity role Then she appeared in two Blyth Festival productions the comedy Cakewalk by Colleen Curran and the mystery A Spider in the House by Brian Tremblay Next she was invited to do a musical version of Scrooge at Theatre New Brunswick With these three professional productions she earned her Actors Equity card and is grateful to Blyth for giving her that opportunity
Janet has appeared in vMious teleshyvision commercials and had a small role in the CBC production Charlie Grants War For three months last summer she had fun playing Sister Mary Amnesia in Toronto Workshop Productions Nunsense and she also had a chance to workshop a new Canadian play called Little Miss Easter Seals an autobiography about polio victim Lina Chartrand The play was workshopped at Le Theatre du Petit Bonheur the only French theatre in Toronto Janets major at Guelph was French ( drama was her minor) and she is biligual
It was wonderful to work in
French I hope I get to do more plays in that language The French people are very passionate she says
Janet appeared in three Department ofDranla productions while attending Guelph - Chamber Music in 1977 The journey of the Fifth Horse in 1978 and The Miser in 1979 When she thinks of her training at Guelph she thinks of her drama professor Harry Lane who guided her through two of those productions
The highlight of my week used to be Monday morning dranu classes Wed start with coffee and those deli shycious Danishes from Massey Hall and then wed run through our exercises r learned not only about acting but the behind-the-scenes work like lighting and costumes as well Im grateful for that she recalls
Janet doesnt regret her decision to pursue an acting career She finds it very fulfilling She is even getting used to the insecurity ofnot knowing where the next rolc is coming from She didnt have any work lined up after Fire but was certain something would tum up
Something always does she added with the self-assuredness ofUl actress who is starting to be noticed

Etta (Birdsall) Gamham Mac 17D will celebrate her 96th birthday this summer and still maintains a keen interest in the College she graduated from many years ago
She attended Macdonald Institute from 191 5-17 receiving her diploma in ProfessionaJ Housekeeping When she moved into Maple Manor Nursing Home in Tillsonburg two years ago that diploma was one of the things she wanted to take with her says Marlene ( Pfaff) Oatman FACS 75 MA 78 Etta is Marlenes husbands great aunt Marlene teaches in the Departments of Family Studies and So iology and Anthropology and says Aunt Etta wants to know everything I cover in my courses If she doesnt quite understand she gets a book from the library and will quiz me the next time I see her based on what she has read
Etta reads the Guelph Alumnus to keep up with what is happening at the University As well as changes in courses she likes to know about changes in buildings on campus When she was a student she lived in Macdonald Hall
Etta was more adventurous than other young women of her day Born in South Middleton Township in lS91 she attended school at SS 13 in Middleton and Tillsonburg High School until 1905 She graduated from London Normal School in 1909 and at the age of IS undertook her first teaching position at SS 1 Middleton with 49 students in Grades l-S under her sole supervision She continued teaching until 1915 when she decided to return to school to study domestic science at Guelph
After graduating she amwered an advertisement in the newspaper and headed West to take a job as dietitian and housekeeper in a 200-be d teaching hospital in Regina
I never worked so hard in my life Etta says of her year at the hospital Although she enjoyed the work When the year was up I was tired out she says So she accepted a teaching position at a prairie school at Tuxford Sask She taught there
Etta (Birdsall) Gamham Mac 17D
until the flu epidemic in 1918 closed all the schools She then turned her attention to nursing the sick until she got the flu herself
She can still remember being bedshyridden at the home of a farm family when she heard the news on Novemshy
ber 11 1915 thatthe First World War had ended
Etta returned home in 1919 to teach first in St Catharines then at Mabees Corners and finally at Guysboro where she met her husband Lee the eligible young farmer who lived across the road from the school They were married in July of 1921 and enjoyed 62 years together before his death four years ago
She continued teaching afte r marriage but only when she was needed she says because farm work kept her busy then
Ive had a lovely life Etta says And although she is now confined to a wheelchair she says shes been as healthy as can be all my life
Asked if there is any secret to her longevity she quickly responds choose your grandfather wisely because you inherit your health She points out her own father lived to be 99 and her grandmother lived to be 100

MILESTONE CE EBRATION FOR OVC
With a flourish of kilts and bagshypipes OVC began celebrating its 125th birthday February 12 The COllege is the oldest veterinary school in continuous operation in North and South America
A special lecture by eminent Scotshytish scientist Dr WilJiam FH Jarrett whose work pioneered AIDS research commemorated the founding of the College and the unique contributions of the veterinary medical profession in the advancement of scientific knowledge and disease control
Dr Jarrett of the University of Glasgow Veterinary School gave a public lecture Vacdnation Against Retroviruses From FAIDS to AIDS His work on Feline Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (FAIDS) has been the basis for subsequent research into AIDS
Dr jarretts lecture took place in War Memorial Hall exactly 125 years after OVCs inaugural address was delivered in Toronto by another Scotsman founder Andrew Smith
Dr Smi th a graduate of the Edinburgh School of Veterinary Medicine was brought to Toronto by the Board of Agriculture of Upper Canada to open a veterinary practice and provide instruction He operated the school under private charter in Toronto until 1908 when it became aftlliated with the University of Toronto nle College moved to Guelph in 1922 becoming a coshyoperative neighbor for the OAC The two later joined with Macdonald Institute to become the founding Colleges of the University of Guelph in 1964
Since the issue of Dr Smiths charshyter the College has contributed substantially to the improvement of public health says OVC Dean Ole Nielsen College faculty were instrushymenta] in the development of milkshytesting programs for mastitis and were involved in the livestock vaccination and testing programs that led to the elimination of tuberculosis and brucellosis in humans and animals
In keeping with the Scottish theme Dr Dean Percy ave 57 MSc 66 a professor in the Department OfPathology piped Dr William PH Jarrett into War Memorial Hall for his special lecture February 12 Also in the procession were President Burt Matthews ave Dean Ole Nielsen specially invited ave retirees andplatform guests (Photo by Tim Sullivan)
They were pioneers in domestic ani shymal surgery and among the first veterinarians to adopt modem surgical techniques Faculty researchers also perfected techniques for the artificial insemination ofdairy cattle and swine and for freezing bull semen
Researdl efforts have continually expanded in areas of comparative medicine where human and vetershyinary medicine cross paths The College is now at the forefront of research on organ transplants and bone surgery and research is proshyceeding in other areas of potential benefit to human medicine including genetically engineered vaccines and cancer research
Each year thousands ofanimals are brought to the ColJege for study and treatment The 2000 patients treated at the large animal clinic last year included an elephant a kangaroo and a gnu Almost 8000 animals visited the small animal clinic and more than 16000 farm animals - mostly cattle
- were seen in the ambulatory clinics herd health program The Colleges wild bird clinic is the only one of its kind in Canada
OVCs department of patholOgy is the Norlh American centre for reshysearch on marine animals and the Canadian centre for diagnostic expershytise in fish pathology The College is closely affiliated with the new Guelph Centre for Equine Research
OVCs influence on the intershynational scene has been substantial Students comefrom around the world (0 study at the undergraduate gradshyuate and post-graduate levels In 1974 the College joined the Canadian international Development Agency in establishing a veterinary school in Malaysia the first in southeast Asia
Celebrations for OVCs 125th birthday will continue throughout the year A highlight onJune 19 is the official opening of the Colleges new Sl35-million large animal faCility

PROGRAM AIMS TO ATTRACT BRIGHTEST STUDENTS
By Sandra Couch Public Relations and Information
The Universitys share of the best and brightest first-year students in the physical sciences could well increase with the introduction of a challenging interdisciplinary one-year pilot project called MPC2 (for Mathematics-Physics-Chemistry-Comshyputing Science ) says Professor Ernie McFarland Physics
Professor McFarland chairman of the CPS interdiSciplinary curriculum committee says the basic introductory courses now in place were designed to serve all tbe students in classes that often reach 300 in size Very bright students the committee found were not as stimulated as they could have been
With the courses as they werewe were not attracting the quantity or quality of students we hoped in areas like physics chemistry and bioshychemistry mathematiCs statistics and computing science says Professor McFarland
The committee has designed a number of new first-year courses which require a minimum average of 80 per cent for admission The courses will combine mathematics physics chemistry and computing and are structured to foster a better appreshyciation of the inter-connections between the disCiplines says Professor McFarland The more challenging courses will also enable bright highly qualified and motivated students to choose one or two additional elective courses in their first year
Professor McFarland admits the project is a departure from the usual departmental philosophy and says the one-year trial period will allow CPS to crawl before we walk He says a successful evaluation at the end of the trial period could lead to possible joint degrees in the areas of physics and chemistry or mathematics and computing
It could well be the first stage for a number of other interdisciplinary ventures in the College beyond the
first -year level says Professor Mcfarland
Acting CPS Dean Rod Gentry says the new intensive program will likely attrlct more of the best students to Guelph because in the sciences the best stude nts are very selective consumers Theyre looking for the best program while theyre still in high school
Former CPS Dean now Vice-President AcademicjackMacDonald conceived MPCZ because he believed that the way physical sciences were
being taught was historical and antiquated He says the departmental divisions in universities are almost tribal in nature and often lead to an arbitrary and artificial division of subject matter
Professor MacDonald says MPCZ which will be offered for the first time in September is consistent with the Universitys aims and objectives and is also consistent with the learning objectives in that it takes a holistic viewpoint in the teaching and learning of the material
GLASSBLOWE RHONORED Unive rSity glassblower Anne Hostetter has been honored by the American Scientific Glassblowers Society (ASGS) in Cincinnati Ohio for her paper Quartz EPR Flat Cel The Fischer and Porter Company of Pennsylvania offers the annual Kermit-Fischer Award in recognition of the best paper presented at the previous years symposium
The paper is selected by a jury from the ASGS on the basis of content app li cat ion presentat ion style graphics use and text
A quartz EPR flat cell is a difficult piece of glassware to make Ms Hostetter says but it is useful in EPR spectroscopy because it allows the 5anlple to be pOSitioned in the densest part of the magnetic field without interfe rence from the electric component of the rad iation
Ms Hostetter has used the techshynique described in her paper sucshycessfully for eight to nine years She forms the flat sides of the cell from two pieces of quartz glass with bevelled edges When spaced proshyperly the bevelled glass forms a V into which a length ofquartz piping is fitted and melted to seal the edges The standard spacing between the two pieces of flat glass is 25 mm
although she has made cells as small as 12 mm and as large as I mm
A 25-minute educaHonal videotape about the technique described in Ms Hostetters paper is available through the ASGS

WOMEN IN SCIENCE GATHER
About 80 women gathered on campus in February to hear Dr Lynda Pinnington talk about career planning forwomen in science Dr Pinnjngton beads Pinn ington Associates of Cambridge a consulting firm that focuses on applied productivity improvement techniques for business and industry Discussants for the careers night were Brenda Bonnett OVC 79 a PhD sludent in the Department of Veterinary Micro shybiology and Immunology and Jan Kaufman Library who is on the Preshysidents Advisory Council day care task force
This was the second event planned by an informal group of women scienshytists at Guelph Professors Susan Mclver chair of the Department of Enviro nmenta l Bio logy Mary Beverley-Burton Zoology and Janet Wood Chemistry and Biochemistry have been the moving forces behind this organization which has blosshysomed into a nucleus of about a dozen women representing aU the science colleges at Guelph They say the groups purpose is to increase awareness of the role of women in science and the opportunities and obstacles they may encounter The group also encourages informal netshyworking and social contacts
Weve avoided creating a formal structure Professor McIver says Meetings are held on an irregular basis and there are no official officers
In addition to offering careers nights the group has compiled a list of women in science at Guelph using the criteria ofa degree in science and employment at the University
Questions raised by the group re shysulted in the updating of the 1975 report of the Presidents Task Force on the status of women at the ni shyversity which led to the formation of the Presidents Advisory Committee on Equal Rights for Men and Women at the University of Guelph This committee chaired by Professor McIver will release a report this spring

FORSTER FELLOWSHIPS AWARDED The 1987 Forster Fellowships have been awarded to two CBS faculty members
Professor Terry Beveridge Depart shyment of Microbiology will use the fellowship to help develop new techshyni ques to study bacter ial ultra shystmcture and to travel to Europe in June to work with Professor we Sleytr in Vienna Austria and Professor Edward Ke llenberger in Basel Switzerland Professor Sleytrs area of expertise is ultrastructure of bacteria I surfaces and Professor Kellenbergers is new techniques in electron micro shyscopy
Professor Terry Graham School of
Human Biology will use the fcllowship to continue his study of human muscle metabolism and its response to cold stress and exercise This month he travels to Copenhagen to work with three researchers at the August Krogh Institute - Dr Bengt Saltin a spe shycialist in cardiovascular and muscle physiology Dr Bodil Nielsen who works in themlo-regulation and Dr Erik Richter a specialist in carbo shyhydrate metabolism

OAC GRADUATE WRITES FROM MOZAMBIQUE
Ruth Beilin born and raised in Guelph graduated jromjohn F Ross C VI and earned a BA and a Dipshyloma in Agriculture She worked at the University and in Saskatchewan before going to Papua New Guinea with CUSO as an agricultural extension worker There she met her husband an Australian lawyer who was working in rural development After two years in New Guinea she attended Reading University in England and received an MSc in Agriculture Extension She joinedher husband in Australia and together they apPlied to work on anAustralian government project in Mozambique This is the first ofher letters (written in the summer Of 1986) on life and development in that war-torn country Ruth can be contacted at the follOwing address CAA cP 356 Maputo Mozambique
Life in Mozambique is a series of contrasts and challenges The area where we live is a fertile coastal strip that has been cultivated for at least 50 years - some parts longer Coconut palms wave in the breeze - their languid trunks arching over the dense foliage of the cashew trees planted between their rows The latifundia system practised by the Portuguese meant that as a rule local families had less than two hectares each of usually marginal land to farm for subsistence purposltS and that generally they could not grow permanent tree crops on these family spaces Therefore the wealth from these crops remained with the colonial farmers
Today the state is just beginning a large land reform program What it will mean in real terms is difficult to assess given the huge numbers of dislocated families from the interior dry areas and more desperate war zones The theory is that these families will be able to return to their own farm lands and accumulate more land there assuming that the war and
Ruth Beilin OAC 74
these years of drought and fanline will soon be over
The Mozambicans survive on their abilities as farmers The suffering and deprivation have made them strong conservationists sensitive to their crops and soils But some of the obstacles they face are overwhelming - broken (Ools scarce seed loss of animals Everything is a struggle
Village meetings are stimulating and full of lengthy debate Storyshytelling animation dancing and singing form an important part of the culture The present govenunent has used these means (0 awaken a political consciousness among the people who tend to be passive and accept their circumstances
Our group is not radical but we are different and perhaps threatening to this passivity Mozambicans are tired from hard work long years of fighting a declining economy and many reorganizations of agricultural policy We talk about self-sufficiency (which translated means more work) We talk about development but in agricultural terms offer no pesticides (except naturally occuring ones) import no tractors or cultivators and generally seem to be less modern than the Portuguese who left ten years ago We are not just talking
about rehabilitation but a whole developmental philosophy which is distinct from the projects of other development agencies in nearby districts Although the communities we work in agree that the long-term benefits are valid they must wonder when life is going to become easier
Through all this nms the struggle in southern Africa - the link between the apartheid regime in South Africa and the war in Mozanlbique and indeed in aU the frontline states This war destabilizes the countryside and terrorizes the people rfhe longer we live here and witness this nightmare the more we realize that the end of the war will not be because of things or people in Mozambique This is a war supported by the foreign policies of the West Countries that continue to support South Africa give strength to the South African economy strength that is translated into soldiers anlIDunition supplies and support for the bandidosannados - the armed bandits fighting FREUMO the legal Mozambican govenunent
I could weep when President Reagan says the American support for Jonas Savimbi against the Angolan government and Americas refusal to impose sanctions on South Africa maintains the balance of power between East and West He should stand on the ground where the price is being paid and teU the mourning villagers the dying and the maimed that the world is a better place for this carnage and that the chess games ofthe big men are the real value of human life
Many other countries play sinillar ifsmaller or less direct roles with the future ofsouthern Africa The tragedy of this land is the riches and vast potent ial which attract olltside interest and cost it dearly in ternlS of human resources
James and I first heard about the Rural Development Project in August 1984 when we were working for Community Aid Abroad (CAA) in
24
Australia At that time there was optimism about Mozambique The Nkomati Peace Accord was to end South Mrkas support for the bandits in exchange for diminished support from Mozambique for the African National Congress The project was to be an integrated rural development scheme in health water and agrishyculture
But the war has not ended and it is a constant stumbling block to all aspirations and plans not to mention wearing on ones spirit Still that potential and challenge are alluring and we plod on down the developshyment road trying to build up organization and infrastructure Waiting for the day when things may normalize (After 10 years of war what is normal)
We arrived in Mozambique in April 1985 with James as project director and me as agriculturalist The health team ( a midwife and doctor ) and the community development worker arrived in late August and the water engineer in January 1986 The six of us live on the project site in a nleal district centre The official language is Portuguese and our official work is in that language However the people generally speak their own languages and so communication below the official level continues to be difficult Still they are very patient with our attempts to communicate and live in their communities
My own work is starting to become more visible Three agricultural technicians and I have organized a program of support for the fdmily sector in agriculture This is largely an education extension system that operates on three levels The first level consists of training zone representatives in practical demonshystrations ofagricultural techniques in their home area ( each zone has roughly 60 families and is represented by one man and woman chosen by their community) The zone reps are linked in training sessions and in countryside visits to the second level - an enquadradore who is basically the official link to the district agricultural system There are only five functioning enquadradores in a district of 110000 or more people so we had pound0 create the agricultural reps to make the enquadradores task possible The training program for the enquadradores is critically important because they have no agriculturaJ background but must collect and transmit agricultural information The third level is the agricultural technicians themselves These young counterparts are likely to be the directors and administrators of the future They are also the direct teaching link to the people
After months of meetings and discussions at every level of village and district structure we swung into operation with the agriculture reps
program and the horticultural crops campaign ThankfuUy some of the long-awaited tools - hoes bush knives and seeds - also arrived It is too early to know what the results might be but we are optimistic that with good rains and no bandits family sector food production will show an improvement this ftest season
James gets the thankless task of organizing logistics supplies deleshygations and the endless bookwork Often caught in the middle of our demands the reali ty of the Australian budget and the nightmare of transshyporting difficult ies he somehow remains Cltllm and diplomatic He spends three weeks in the project office in the district centre at the site and the fourth is spent in the capital Mapmo at the CAA office
Our daughter Leah makes a huge differe n ce to our lives The MozambiGms are enchanted by her James is known as the husband of the mother of the baby I am known as the mother of the baby and Leah is known by her own name throughout the area She comes out with me mornings and spends afternoons with James in the office
As always 1 necd to say morc than there is time for My hope is that this letter wi ll personalize what is happening in southern Africa so that more support will come to stop the war and the terrible sadness all around this region

OAC CO-OP PROGRAM POPULAR WITH STUDENTS AND EMPLOYERS
Co-op education is the only way to go says Janice Parker OAC 86 Her comment is reflective of the overall view held by co-op students and employers alike
The co-operative education proshygram which has been available to OAC students for the past five years formally integrates the students academic srudy with work experience in co-operating employer organishyzations Usually the student alternates four months ofsoldywith four months of work in the agricultu ral industry directly related to his or her field of study
The co-op program provided me with invaluable work experience in the food science field This experience also enabled me to get an overseas job (through an international exshychange association ) inmy field says Janice who worked as a research assistant in an alcohol company in Finland
Janice says the practical lessons learned on work tenus made classshyroom theory easier to understand She also says the co-op program gave her the benefits of increased selfshyconfidence and the ability to present herse lf well at a job interview Employment interviews generally occur on campus in the middle of the academic term preceding each work semester The interviews are comshypetitive in nature as are the salaries paid by employers which usually average S 1100-$ 1500 per month
Kenda Allen OAC 86 says the coshyop program definitely helps with finances Besides earning money you only pay for four months of your education at a time
While in the program Kenda worked terms as a fieldperson with the Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation as a horse show entry clerk with the Royal Wi nter fair and as a rural organization specialist assistant with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food She now works full-time as associate editor of the
Canadian Ay rshire Review which promotes the Ayrshire breed
My experience in the co-op program helped me obtain obtain my present job I al 0 made contacts which w ill continue to benefi t my career says Kenda
By working at a variety of jobs Kenda explains she was able to narrow down her options and fi nd the correct path to take
Kenda says she also enjoyed the break from the books every four months which allowed her to apply what she was learning
Equally Enthusiastic Employers are equally enthusiastic
about the program Paul Nelson OAC 70 MA 72 vice-preSident of manufacturing and technical services at Corporate Foods in Toronto participated in earlyplanning scssions for the co-op program He cant understand why anyone would not choose the p rogram and feels that ifit had been available when he was a student it would have been very beneficial to him
Paul says the program gives students and employers a chance to assess one another during a fXed time-frame If the students do well he says his company is committed to hiring them on a permanent basis when the opportunity arises We always tell them to keep in touch he says We have found Guelph sOldents to be eager capable and adaptable
Doug Flint OAC 85 who spent two work terms with Corporate Foods was hired permanently as a quality assurance and sanitation supervisor In his case the program came full circle when he hired Guelph co-op student Brenda Ternyik as his assistant last summer and Kelly Newell OAC 82 as his permanenr assistant recently
Doug says the program is a good method of screening for both students and employers It helped me decide what [ did and did not want to do career-wise and it set me up for a
permanent job The company in rum was hiring someone they already knew something about
Suzanne Raymond OAC 77 a research and development manager with Pillsbury Canada Ltd in Toronto says her company has hired many coshyop students as research and developshyment technicians Since product development is seasonal the four month time-frame for work terms is especially suitable for Pillsbury Students undertake short-term proshyjects where it would be uneconomical to hire full-time employees
Suzanne says Pillsbury originally got involved with the co-op program from a recruiting standpoint It gives us exposure to the students and we can test how well they work she says It also gives us exposure to I what is happening at the University in terms of research and the food industry
Suzanne says another benefit is the freshness and vitality students bring with them to the job She has found them on the whole to be very good workers
Louis Paul Ricard a manager with Cargill Ltd a grain company that services both domestic and export markets says the co-op program gives his company a good idea of the calibre of student coming out of university today The work they do is a real contribution to the company as well
Cargills first co-op student Don foster OAC 86 has been hired full shytime as a grain merchant While on work terms with CargiU he had jobs in both Ontario and Alberta Don says an advantage of the co-op program is the opportunity to live and work in different areas of the country
Cargill also hired the co -op programs first crop science graduate John Ormrod OAC 85 who now works in Saskatchewan

ARTS GRAD WINS KUDOS FOR STAGE PERFORMANCE
It took three years for Janet Land Arts 80 to make up her mind that she really wanted to be a professional actress After graduation from the University of Guelph she dabbled in amateur theatre and earned her Bachelor ofEducation at the University ofOttawa before taking the plunge and moving to Toronto to establish herself on the stage and in film
Now w i th four years on the professhysional circuit to her credit Janets career decision is paying off In March she finished touring to good reviews in the powerful drama Firedeveloped at Thunder Bays Magnus Theatre and co-produced by the National Arts Centre Theatre Company of Ottawa the Centaur Theatre Company of Montreal and the Citadel Theatre of Edmonton
Written by Paul Ledoux and David Young Fire is based very loosely on the life of musician Jerry Lee Lewis and his evangelist cousin J immy Swaggart It explores the conflict between the power of religion and the electric excitement of rock and roll
Janets role in Fire was Molly who is modelled very 100 ely on the 13shyyear-old cousin Lewis married
Shes a wonderful character who goes from tbe age of 13 to 35 says Janet She is caught between two men one a rock and roller the other a fimdanlentalist preacher
OfJanets performance the Globe and Mail wrote Janet Land is a capable actress who has a special knack for projecting what may be called intelligent sweetness And Molly is the only female role in the show a role that calls for a range from a 13 year olds naivete to the chastened near bitterness of early middle age Land is in a sense playing several different people and the character is more complex than might be imagined at first
Macleans wrote As MolJy King Land effortlessly porlrays the transformation from bubbly teenager to trim matron
With such reviews Janets name is becoming better know but it has
janet Land Arts 80
been an uphill clinlb During her first year as an actress when not many roles were coming her way she had to supplement her income by supply teaching and working part-time at Blacks Cameras Her first professional production was The Fantastiks at Leah Posluns Theatre in Toronto Although she played the lead ofLouisa in this musical it was a non-equity role Then she appeared in two Blyth Festival productions the comedy Cakewalk by Colleen Curran and the mystery A Spider in the House by Brian Tremblay Next she was invited to do a musical version of Scrooge at Theatre New Brunswick With these three professional productions she earned her Actors Equity card and is grateful to Blyth for giving her that opportunity
Janet has appeared in vMious teleshyvision commercials and had a small role in the CBC production Charlie Grants War For three months last summer she had fun playing Sister Mary Amnesia in Toronto Workshop Productions Nunsense and she also had a chance to workshop a new Canadian play called Little Miss Easter Seals an autobiography about polio victim Lina Chartrand The play was workshopped at Le Theatre du Petit Bonheur the only French theatre in Toronto Janets major at Guelph was French ( drama was her minor) and she is biligual
It was wonderful to work in
French I hope I get to do more plays in that language The French people are very passionate she says
Janet appeared in three Department ofDranla productions while attending Guelph - Chamber Music in 1977 The journey of the Fifth Horse in 1978 and The Miser in 1979 When she thinks of her training at Guelph she thinks of her drama professor Harry Lane who guided her through two of those productions
The highlight of my week used to be Monday morning dranu classes Wed start with coffee and those deli shycious Danishes from Massey Hall and then wed run through our exercises r learned not only about acting but the behind-the-scenes work like lighting and costumes as well Im grateful for that she recalls
Janet doesnt regret her decision to pursue an acting career She finds it very fulfilling She is even getting used to the insecurity ofnot knowing where the next rolc is coming from She didnt have any work lined up after Fire but was certain something would tum up
Something always does she added with the self-assuredness ofUl actress who is starting to be noticed
AT STRATFORD If youre planning to attend the Stratford Festival this year watch for Peter DonaldsOn Arts 15 Peter is appearing with The Young Company on the Third Stage as)acques in As You Like ltfrom May 28-5eptember p as Capulet in Romeo and ju1et from May 29September 5 and asMa on inJourneysElldfronl July14-SepteInber 5

She attended Macdonald Institute from 191 5-17 receiving her diploma in ProfessionaJ Housekeeping When she moved into Maple Manor Nursing Home in Tillsonburg two years ago that diploma was one of the things she wanted to take with her says Marlene ( Pfaff) Oatman FACS 75 MA 78 Etta is Marlenes husbands great aunt Marlene teaches in the Departments of Family Studies and So iology and Anthropology and says Aunt Etta wants to know everything I cover in my courses If she doesnt quite understand she gets a book from the library and will quiz me the next time I see her based on what she has read
Etta reads the Guelph Alumnus to keep up with what is happening at the University As well as changes in courses she likes to know about changes in buildings on campus When she was a student she lived in Macdonald Hall
Etta was more adventurous than other young women of her day Born in South Middleton Township in lS91 she attended school at SS 13 in Middleton and Tillsonburg High School until 1905 She graduated from London Normal School in 1909 and at the age of IS undertook her first teaching position at SS 1 Middleton with 49 students in Grades l-S under her sole supervision She continued teaching until 1915 when she decided to return to school to study domestic science at Guelph
After graduating she amwered an advertisement in the newspaper and headed West to take a job as dietitian and housekeeper in a 200-be d teaching hospital in Regina
I never worked so hard in my life Etta says of her year at the hospital Although she enjoyed the work When the year was up I was tired out she says So she accepted a teaching position at a prairie school at Tuxford Sask She taught there
Etta (Birdsall) Gamham Mac 17D
until the flu epidemic in 1918 closed all the schools She then turned her attention to nursing the sick until she got the flu herself
She can still remember being bedshyridden at the home of a farm family when she heard the news on Novemshy
ber 11 1915 thatthe First World War had ended
Etta returned home in 1919 to teach first in St Catharines then at Mabees Corners and finally at Guysboro where she met her husband Lee the eligible young farmer who lived across the road from the school They were married in July of 1921 and enjoyed 62 years together before his death four years ago
She continued teaching afte r marriage but only when she was needed she says because farm work kept her busy then
Ive had a lovely life Etta says And although she is now confined to a wheelchair she says shes been as healthy as can be all my life
Asked if there is any secret to her longevity she quickly responds choose your grandfather wisely because you inherit your health She points out her own father lived to be 99 and her grandmother lived to be 100

MILESTONE CE EBRATION FOR OVC
With a flourish of kilts and bagshypipes OVC began celebrating its 125th birthday February 12 The COllege is the oldest veterinary school in continuous operation in North and South America
A special lecture by eminent Scotshytish scientist Dr WilJiam FH Jarrett whose work pioneered AIDS research commemorated the founding of the College and the unique contributions of the veterinary medical profession in the advancement of scientific knowledge and disease control
Dr Jarrett of the University of Glasgow Veterinary School gave a public lecture Vacdnation Against Retroviruses From FAIDS to AIDS His work on Feline Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (FAIDS) has been the basis for subsequent research into AIDS
Dr jarretts lecture took place in War Memorial Hall exactly 125 years after OVCs inaugural address was delivered in Toronto by another Scotsman founder Andrew Smith
Dr Smi th a graduate of the Edinburgh School of Veterinary Medicine was brought to Toronto by the Board of Agriculture of Upper Canada to open a veterinary practice and provide instruction He operated the school under private charter in Toronto until 1908 when it became aftlliated with the University of Toronto nle College moved to Guelph in 1922 becoming a coshyoperative neighbor for the OAC The two later joined with Macdonald Institute to become the founding Colleges of the University of Guelph in 1964
Since the issue of Dr Smiths charshyter the College has contributed substantially to the improvement of public health says OVC Dean Ole Nielsen College faculty were instrushymenta] in the development of milkshytesting programs for mastitis and were involved in the livestock vaccination and testing programs that led to the elimination of tuberculosis and brucellosis in humans and animals
In keeping with the Scottish theme Dr Dean Percy ave 57 MSc 66 a professor in the Department OfPathology piped Dr William PH Jarrett into War Memorial Hall for his special lecture February 12 Also in the procession were President Burt Matthews ave Dean Ole Nielsen specially invited ave retirees andplatform guests (Photo by Tim Sullivan)
They were pioneers in domestic ani shymal surgery and among the first veterinarians to adopt modem surgical techniques Faculty researchers also perfected techniques for the artificial insemination ofdairy cattle and swine and for freezing bull semen
Researdl efforts have continually expanded in areas of comparative medicine where human and vetershyinary medicine cross paths The College is now at the forefront of research on organ transplants and bone surgery and research is proshyceeding in other areas of potential benefit to human medicine including genetically engineered vaccines and cancer research
Each year thousands ofanimals are brought to the ColJege for study and treatment The 2000 patients treated at the large animal clinic last year included an elephant a kangaroo and a gnu Almost 8000 animals visited the small animal clinic and more than 16000 farm animals - mostly cattle
- were seen in the ambulatory clinics herd health program The Colleges wild bird clinic is the only one of its kind in Canada
OVCs department of patholOgy is the Norlh American centre for reshysearch on marine animals and the Canadian centre for diagnostic expershytise in fish pathology The College is closely affiliated with the new Guelph Centre for Equine Research
OVCs influence on the intershynational scene has been substantial Students comefrom around the world (0 study at the undergraduate gradshyuate and post-graduate levels In 1974 the College joined the Canadian international Development Agency in establishing a veterinary school in Malaysia the first in southeast Asia
Celebrations for OVCs 125th birthday will continue throughout the year A highlight onJune 19 is the official opening of the Colleges new Sl35-million large animal faCility

PROGRAM AIMS TO ATTRACT BRIGHTEST STUDENTS
By Sandra Couch Public Relations and Information
The Universitys share of the best and brightest first-year students in the physical sciences could well increase with the introduction of a challenging interdisciplinary one-year pilot project called MPC2 (for Mathematics-Physics-Chemistry-Comshyputing Science ) says Professor Ernie McFarland Physics
Professor McFarland chairman of the CPS interdiSciplinary curriculum committee says the basic introductory courses now in place were designed to serve all tbe students in classes that often reach 300 in size Very bright students the committee found were not as stimulated as they could have been
With the courses as they werewe were not attracting the quantity or quality of students we hoped in areas like physics chemistry and bioshychemistry mathematiCs statistics and computing science says Professor McFarland
The committee has designed a number of new first-year courses which require a minimum average of 80 per cent for admission The courses will combine mathematics physics chemistry and computing and are structured to foster a better appreshyciation of the inter-connections between the disCiplines says Professor McFarland The more challenging courses will also enable bright highly qualified and motivated students to choose one or two additional elective courses in their first year
Professor McFarland admits the project is a departure from the usual departmental philosophy and says the one-year trial period will allow CPS to crawl before we walk He says a successful evaluation at the end of the trial period could lead to possible joint degrees in the areas of physics and chemistry or mathematics and computing
It could well be the first stage for a number of other interdisciplinary ventures in the College beyond the
first -year level says Professor Mcfarland
Acting CPS Dean Rod Gentry says the new intensive program will likely attrlct more of the best students to Guelph because in the sciences the best stude nts are very selective consumers Theyre looking for the best program while theyre still in high school
Former CPS Dean now Vice-President AcademicjackMacDonald conceived MPCZ because he believed that the way physical sciences were
being taught was historical and antiquated He says the departmental divisions in universities are almost tribal in nature and often lead to an arbitrary and artificial division of subject matter
Professor MacDonald says MPCZ which will be offered for the first time in September is consistent with the Universitys aims and objectives and is also consistent with the learning objectives in that it takes a holistic viewpoint in the teaching and learning of the material
GLASSBLOWE RHONORED Unive rSity glassblower Anne Hostetter has been honored by the American Scientific Glassblowers Society (ASGS) in Cincinnati Ohio for her paper Quartz EPR Flat Cel The Fischer and Porter Company of Pennsylvania offers the annual Kermit-Fischer Award in recognition of the best paper presented at the previous years symposium
The paper is selected by a jury from the ASGS on the basis of content app li cat ion presentat ion style graphics use and text
A quartz EPR flat cell is a difficult piece of glassware to make Ms Hostetter says but it is useful in EPR spectroscopy because it allows the 5anlple to be pOSitioned in the densest part of the magnetic field without interfe rence from the electric component of the rad iation
Ms Hostetter has used the techshynique described in her paper sucshycessfully for eight to nine years She forms the flat sides of the cell from two pieces of quartz glass with bevelled edges When spaced proshyperly the bevelled glass forms a V into which a length ofquartz piping is fitted and melted to seal the edges The standard spacing between the two pieces of flat glass is 25 mm
although she has made cells as small as 12 mm and as large as I mm
A 25-minute educaHonal videotape about the technique described in Ms Hostetters paper is available through the ASGS

WOMEN IN SCIENCE GATHER
About 80 women gathered on campus in February to hear Dr Lynda Pinnington talk about career planning forwomen in science Dr Pinnjngton beads Pinn ington Associates of Cambridge a consulting firm that focuses on applied productivity improvement techniques for business and industry Discussants for the careers night were Brenda Bonnett OVC 79 a PhD sludent in the Department of Veterinary Micro shybiology and Immunology and Jan Kaufman Library who is on the Preshysidents Advisory Council day care task force
This was the second event planned by an informal group of women scienshytists at Guelph Professors Susan Mclver chair of the Department of Enviro nmenta l Bio logy Mary Beverley-Burton Zoology and Janet Wood Chemistry and Biochemistry have been the moving forces behind this organization which has blosshysomed into a nucleus of about a dozen women representing aU the science colleges at Guelph They say the groups purpose is to increase awareness of the role of women in science and the opportunities and obstacles they may encounter The group also encourages informal netshyworking and social contacts
Weve avoided creating a formal structure Professor McIver says Meetings are held on an irregular basis and there are no official officers
In addition to offering careers nights the group has compiled a list of women in science at Guelph using the criteria ofa degree in science and employment at the University
Questions raised by the group re shysulted in the updating of the 1975 report of the Presidents Task Force on the status of women at the ni shyversity which led to the formation of the Presidents Advisory Committee on Equal Rights for Men and Women at the University of Guelph This committee chaired by Professor McIver will release a report this spring

OAC GRADUATE WRITES FROM MOZAMBIQUE
Ruth Beilin born and raised in Guelph graduated jromjohn F Ross C VI and earned a BA and a Dipshyloma in Agriculture She worked at the University and in Saskatchewan before going to Papua New Guinea with CUSO as an agricultural extension worker There she met her husband an Australian lawyer who was working in rural development After two years in New Guinea she attended Reading University in England and received an MSc in Agriculture Extension She joinedher husband in Australia and together they apPlied to work on anAustralian government project in Mozambique This is the first ofher letters (written in the summer Of 1986) on life and development in that war-torn country Ruth can be contacted at the follOwing address CAA cP 356 Maputo Mozambique
Life in Mozambique is a series of contrasts and challenges The area where we live is a fertile coastal strip that has been cultivated for at least 50 years - some parts longer Coconut palms wave in the breeze - their languid trunks arching over the dense foliage of the cashew trees planted between their rows The latifundia system practised by the Portuguese meant that as a rule local families had less than two hectares each of usually marginal land to farm for subsistence purposltS and that generally they could not grow permanent tree crops on these family spaces Therefore the wealth from these crops remained with the colonial farmers
Today the state is just beginning a large land reform program What it will mean in real terms is difficult to assess given the huge numbers of dislocated families from the interior dry areas and more desperate war zones The theory is that these families will be able to return to their own farm lands and accumulate more land there assuming that the war and
Ruth Beilin OAC 74
these years of drought and fanline will soon be over
The Mozambicans survive on their abilities as farmers The suffering and deprivation have made them strong conservationists sensitive to their crops and soils But some of the obstacles they face are overwhelming - broken (Ools scarce seed loss of animals Everything is a struggle
Village meetings are stimulating and full of lengthy debate Storyshytelling animation dancing and singing form an important part of the culture The present govenunent has used these means (0 awaken a political consciousness among the people who tend to be passive and accept their circumstances
Our group is not radical but we are different and perhaps threatening to this passivity Mozambicans are tired from hard work long years of fighting a declining economy and many reorganizations of agricultural policy We talk about self-sufficiency (which translated means more work) We talk about development but in agricultural terms offer no pesticides (except naturally occuring ones) import no tractors or cultivators and generally seem to be less modern than the Portuguese who left ten years ago We are not just talking
about rehabilitation but a whole developmental philosophy which is distinct from the projects of other development agencies in nearby districts Although the communities we work in agree that the long-term benefits are valid they must wonder when life is going to become easier
Through all this nms the struggle in southern Africa - the link between the apartheid regime in South Africa and the war in Mozanlbique and indeed in aU the frontline states This war destabilizes the countryside and terrorizes the people rfhe longer we live here and witness this nightmare the more we realize that the end of the war will not be because of things or people in Mozambique This is a war supported by the foreign policies of the West Countries that continue to support South Africa give strength to the South African economy strength that is translated into soldiers anlIDunition supplies and support for the bandidosannados - the armed bandits fighting FREUMO the legal Mozambican govenunent
I could weep when President Reagan says the American support for Jonas Savimbi against the Angolan government and Americas refusal to impose sanctions on South Africa maintains the balance of power between East and West He should stand on the ground where the price is being paid and teU the mourning villagers the dying and the maimed that the world is a better place for this carnage and that the chess games ofthe big men are the real value of human life
Many other countries play sinillar ifsmaller or less direct roles with the future ofsouthern Africa The tragedy of this land is the riches and vast potent ial which attract olltside interest and cost it dearly in ternlS of human resources
James and I first heard about the Rural Development Project in August 1984 when we were working for Community Aid Abroad (CAA) in
24
Australia At that time there was optimism about Mozambique The Nkomati Peace Accord was to end South Mrkas support for the bandits in exchange for diminished support from Mozambique for the African National Congress The project was to be an integrated rural development scheme in health water and agrishyculture
But the war has not ended and it is a constant stumbling block to all aspirations and plans not to mention wearing on ones spirit Still that potential and challenge are alluring and we plod on down the developshyment road trying to build up organization and infrastructure Waiting for the day when things may normalize (After 10 years of war what is normal)
We arrived in Mozambique in April 1985 with James as project director and me as agriculturalist The health team ( a midwife and doctor ) and the community development worker arrived in late August and the water engineer in January 1986 The six of us live on the project site in a nleal district centre The official language is Portuguese and our official work is in that language However the people generally speak their own languages and so communication below the official level continues to be difficult Still they are very patient with our attempts to communicate and live in their communities
My own work is starting to become more visible Three agricultural technicians and I have organized a program of support for the fdmily sector in agriculture This is largely an education extension system that operates on three levels The first level consists of training zone representatives in practical demonshystrations ofagricultural techniques in their home area ( each zone has roughly 60 families and is represented by one man and woman chosen by their community) The zone reps are linked in training sessions and in countryside visits to the second level - an enquadradore who is basically the official link to the district agricultural system There are only five functioning enquadradores in a district of 110000 or more people so we had pound0 create the agricultural reps to make the enquadradores task possible The training program for the enquadradores is critically important because they have no agriculturaJ background but must collect and transmit agricultural information The third level is the agricultural technicians themselves These young counterparts are likely to be the directors and administrators of the future They are also the direct teaching link to the people
After months of meetings and discussions at every level of village and district structure we swung into operation with the agriculture reps
program and the horticultural crops campaign ThankfuUy some of the long-awaited tools - hoes bush knives and seeds - also arrived It is too early to know what the results might be but we are optimistic that with good rains and no bandits family sector food production will show an improvement this ftest season
James gets the thankless task of organizing logistics supplies deleshygations and the endless bookwork Often caught in the middle of our demands the reali ty of the Australian budget and the nightmare of transshyporting difficult ies he somehow remains Cltllm and diplomatic He spends three weeks in the project office in the district centre at the site and the fourth is spent in the capital Mapmo at the CAA office
Our daughter Leah makes a huge differe n ce to our lives The MozambiGms are enchanted by her James is known as the husband of the mother of the baby I am known as the mother of the baby and Leah is known by her own name throughout the area She comes out with me mornings and spends afternoons with James in the office
As always 1 necd to say morc than there is time for My hope is that this letter wi ll personalize what is happening in southern Africa so that more support will come to stop the war and the terrible sadness all around this region

OAC CO-OP PROGRAM POPULAR WITH STUDENTS AND EMPLOYERS
Co-op education is the only way to go says Janice Parker OAC 86 Her comment is reflective of the overall view held by co-op students and employers alike
The co-operative education proshygram which has been available to OAC students for the past five years formally integrates the students academic srudy with work experience in co-operating employer organishyzations Usually the student alternates four months ofsoldywith four months of work in the agricultu ral industry directly related to his or her field of study
The co-op program provided me with invaluable work experience in the food science field This experience also enabled me to get an overseas job (through an international exshychange association ) inmy field says Janice who worked as a research assistant in an alcohol company in Finland
Janice says the practical lessons learned on work tenus made classshyroom theory easier to understand She also says the co-op program gave her the benefits of increased selfshyconfidence and the ability to present herse lf well at a job interview Employment interviews generally occur on campus in the middle of the academic term preceding each work semester The interviews are comshypetitive in nature as are the salaries paid by employers which usually average S 1100-$ 1500 per month
Kenda Allen OAC 86 says the coshyop program definitely helps with finances Besides earning money you only pay for four months of your education at a time
While in the program Kenda worked terms as a fieldperson with the Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation as a horse show entry clerk with the Royal Wi nter fair and as a rural organization specialist assistant with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food She now works full-time as associate editor of the
Canadian Ay rshire Review which promotes the Ayrshire breed
My experience in the co-op program helped me obtain obtain my present job I al 0 made contacts which w ill continue to benefi t my career says Kenda
By working at a variety of jobs Kenda explains she was able to narrow down her options and fi nd the correct path to take
Kenda says she also enjoyed the break from the books every four months which allowed her to apply what she was learning
Equally Enthusiastic Employers are equally enthusiastic
about the program Paul Nelson OAC 70 MA 72 vice-preSident of manufacturing and technical services at Corporate Foods in Toronto participated in earlyplanning scssions for the co-op program He cant understand why anyone would not choose the p rogram and feels that ifit had been available when he was a student it would have been very beneficial to him
Paul says the program gives students and employers a chance to assess one another during a fXed time-frame If the students do well he says his company is committed to hiring them on a permanent basis when the opportunity arises We always tell them to keep in touch he says We have found Guelph sOldents to be eager capable and adaptable
Doug Flint OAC 85 who spent two work terms with Corporate Foods was hired permanently as a quality assurance and sanitation supervisor In his case the program came full circle when he hired Guelph co-op student Brenda Ternyik as his assistant last summer and Kelly Newell OAC 82 as his permanenr assistant recently
Doug says the program is a good method of screening for both students and employers It helped me decide what [ did and did not want to do career-wise and it set me up for a
permanent job The company in rum was hiring someone they already knew something about
Suzanne Raymond OAC 77 a research and development manager with Pillsbury Canada Ltd in Toronto says her company has hired many coshyop students as research and developshyment technicians Since product development is seasonal the four month time-frame for work terms is especially suitable for Pillsbury Students undertake short-term proshyjects where it would be uneconomical to hire full-time employees
Suzanne says Pillsbury originally got involved with the co-op program from a recruiting standpoint It gives us exposure to the students and we can test how well they work she says It also gives us exposure to I what is happening at the University in terms of research and the food industry
Suzanne says another benefit is the freshness and vitality students bring with them to the job She has found them on the whole to be very good workers
Louis Paul Ricard a manager with Cargill Ltd a grain company that services both domestic and export markets says the co-op program gives his company a good idea of the calibre of student coming out of university today The work they do is a real contribution to the company as well
Cargills first co-op student Don foster OAC 86 has been hired full shytime as a grain merchant While on work terms with CargiU he had jobs in both Ontario and Alberta Don says an advantage of the co-op program is the opportunity to live and work in different areas of the country
Cargill also hired the co -op programs first crop science graduate John Ormrod OAC 85 who now works in Saskatchewan

ARTS GRAD WINS KUDOS FOR STAGE PERFORMANCE
It took three years for Janet Land Arts 80 to make up her mind that she really wanted to be a professional actress After graduation from the University of Guelph she dabbled in amateur theatre and earned her Bachelor ofEducation at the University ofOttawa before taking the plunge and moving to Toronto to establish herself on the stage and in film
Now w i th four years on the professhysional circuit to her credit Janets career decision is paying off In March she finished touring to good reviews in the powerful drama Firedeveloped at Thunder Bays Magnus Theatre and co-produced by the National Arts Centre Theatre Company of Ottawa the Centaur Theatre Company of Montreal and the Citadel Theatre of Edmonton
Written by Paul Ledoux and David Young Fire is based very loosely on the life of musician Jerry Lee Lewis and his evangelist cousin J immy Swaggart It explores the conflict between the power of religion and the electric excitement of rock and roll
Janets role in Fire was Molly who is modelled very 100 ely on the 13shyyear-old cousin Lewis married
Shes a wonderful character who goes from tbe age of 13 to 35 says Janet She is caught between two men one a rock and roller the other a fimdanlentalist preacher
OfJanets performance the Globe and Mail wrote Janet Land is a capable actress who has a special knack for projecting what may be called intelligent sweetness And Molly is the only female role in the show a role that calls for a range from a 13 year olds naivete to the chastened near bitterness of early middle age Land is in a sense playing several different people and the character is more complex than might be imagined at first
Macleans wrote As MolJy King Land effortlessly porlrays the transformation from bubbly teenager to trim matron
With such reviews Janets name is becoming better know but it has
janet Land Arts 80
been an uphill clinlb During her first year as an actress when not many roles were coming her way she had to supplement her income by supply teaching and working part-time at Blacks Cameras Her first professional production was The Fantastiks at Leah Posluns Theatre in Toronto Although she played the lead ofLouisa in this musical it was a non-equity role Then she appeared in two Blyth Festival productions the comedy Cakewalk by Colleen Curran and the mystery A Spider in the House by Brian Tremblay Next she was invited to do a musical version of Scrooge at Theatre New Brunswick With these three professional productions she earned her Actors Equity card and is grateful to Blyth for giving her that opportunity
Janet has appeared in vMious teleshyvision commercials and had a small role in the CBC production Charlie Grants War For three months last summer she had fun playing Sister Mary Amnesia in Toronto Workshop Productions Nunsense and she also had a chance to workshop a new Canadian play called Little Miss Easter Seals an autobiography about polio victim Lina Chartrand The play was workshopped at Le Theatre du Petit Bonheur the only French theatre in Toronto Janets major at Guelph was French ( drama was her minor) and she is biligual
It was wonderful to work in
French I hope I get to do more plays in that language The French people are very passionate she says
Janet appeared in three Department ofDranla productions while attending Guelph - Chamber Music in 1977 The journey of the Fifth Horse in 1978 and The Miser in 1979 When she thinks of her training at Guelph she thinks of her drama professor Harry Lane who guided her through two of those productions
The highlight of my week used to be Monday morning dranu classes Wed start with coffee and those deli shycious Danishes from Massey Hall and then wed run through our exercises r learned not only about acting but the behind-the-scenes work like lighting and costumes as well Im grateful for that she recalls
Janet doesnt regret her decision to pursue an acting career She finds it very fulfilling She is even getting used to the insecurity ofnot knowing where the next rolc is coming from She didnt have any work lined up after Fire but was certain something would tum up
Something always does she added with the self-assuredness ofUl actress who is starting to be noticed
AT STRATFORD If youre planning to attend the Stratford Festival this year watch for Peter DonaldsOn Arts 15 Peter is appearing with The Young Company on the Third Stage as)acques in As You Like ltfrom May 28-5eptember p as Capulet in Romeo and ju1et from May 29September 5 and asMa on inJourneysElldfronl July14-SepteInber 5

After graduating she amwered an advertisement in the newspaper and headed West to take a job as dietitian and housekeeper in a 200-be d teaching hospital in Regina
I never worked so hard in my life Etta says of her year at the hospital Although she enjoyed the work When the year was up I was tired out she says So she accepted a teaching position at a prairie school at Tuxford Sask She taught there
Etta (Birdsall) Gamham Mac 17D
until the flu epidemic in 1918 closed all the schools She then turned her attention to nursing the sick until she got the flu herself
She can still remember being bedshyridden at the home of a farm family when she heard the news on Novemshy
ber 11 1915 thatthe First World War had ended
Etta returned home in 1919 to teach first in St Catharines then at Mabees Corners and finally at Guysboro where she met her husband Lee the eligible young farmer who lived across the road from the school They were married in July of 1921 and enjoyed 62 years together before his death four years ago
She continued teaching afte r marriage but only when she was needed she says because farm work kept her busy then
Ive had a lovely life Etta says And although she is now confined to a wheelchair she says shes been as healthy as can be all my life
Asked if there is any secret to her longevity she quickly responds choose your grandfather wisely because you inherit your health She points out her own father lived to be 99 and her grandmother lived to be 100

MILESTONE CE EBRATION FOR OVC
With a flourish of kilts and bagshypipes OVC began celebrating its 125th birthday February 12 The COllege is the oldest veterinary school in continuous operation in North and South America
A special lecture by eminent Scotshytish scientist Dr WilJiam FH Jarrett whose work pioneered AIDS research commemorated the founding of the College and the unique contributions of the veterinary medical profession in the advancement of scientific knowledge and disease control
Dr Jarrett of the University of Glasgow Veterinary School gave a public lecture Vacdnation Against Retroviruses From FAIDS to AIDS His work on Feline Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (FAIDS) has been the basis for subsequent research into AIDS
Dr jarretts lecture took place in War Memorial Hall exactly 125 years after OVCs inaugural address was delivered in Toronto by another Scotsman founder Andrew Smith
Dr Smi th a graduate of the Edinburgh School of Veterinary Medicine was brought to Toronto by the Board of Agriculture of Upper Canada to open a veterinary practice and provide instruction He operated the school under private charter in Toronto until 1908 when it became aftlliated with the University of Toronto nle College moved to Guelph in 1922 becoming a coshyoperative neighbor for the OAC The two later joined with Macdonald Institute to become the founding Colleges of the University of Guelph in 1964
Since the issue of Dr Smiths charshyter the College has contributed substantially to the improvement of public health says OVC Dean Ole Nielsen College faculty were instrushymenta] in the development of milkshytesting programs for mastitis and were involved in the livestock vaccination and testing programs that led to the elimination of tuberculosis and brucellosis in humans and animals
In keeping with the Scottish theme Dr Dean Percy ave 57 MSc 66 a professor in the Department OfPathology piped Dr William PH Jarrett into War Memorial Hall for his special lecture February 12 Also in the procession were President Burt Matthews ave Dean Ole Nielsen specially invited ave retirees andplatform guests (Photo by Tim Sullivan)
They were pioneers in domestic ani shymal surgery and among the first veterinarians to adopt modem surgical techniques Faculty researchers also perfected techniques for the artificial insemination ofdairy cattle and swine and for freezing bull semen
Researdl efforts have continually expanded in areas of comparative medicine where human and vetershyinary medicine cross paths The College is now at the forefront of research on organ transplants and bone surgery and research is proshyceeding in other areas of potential benefit to human medicine including genetically engineered vaccines and cancer research
Each year thousands ofanimals are brought to the ColJege for study and treatment The 2000 patients treated at the large animal clinic last year included an elephant a kangaroo and a gnu Almost 8000 animals visited the small animal clinic and more than 16000 farm animals - mostly cattle
- were seen in the ambulatory clinics herd health program The Colleges wild bird clinic is the only one of its kind in Canada
OVCs department of patholOgy is the Norlh American centre for reshysearch on marine animals and the Canadian centre for diagnostic expershytise in fish pathology The College is closely affiliated with the new Guelph Centre for Equine Research
OVCs influence on the intershynational scene has been substantial Students comefrom around the world (0 study at the undergraduate gradshyuate and post-graduate levels In 1974 the College joined the Canadian international Development Agency in establishing a veterinary school in Malaysia the first in southeast Asia
Celebrations for OVCs 125th birthday will continue throughout the year A highlight onJune 19 is the official opening of the Colleges new Sl35-million large animal faCility

PROGRAM AIMS TO ATTRACT BRIGHTEST STUDENTS
By Sandra Couch Public Relations and Information
The Universitys share of the best and brightest first-year students in the physical sciences could well increase with the introduction of a challenging interdisciplinary one-year pilot project called MPC2 (for Mathematics-Physics-Chemistry-Comshyputing Science ) says Professor Ernie McFarland Physics
Professor McFarland chairman of the CPS interdiSciplinary curriculum committee says the basic introductory courses now in place were designed to serve all tbe students in classes that often reach 300 in size Very bright students the committee found were not as stimulated as they could have been
With the courses as they werewe were not attracting the quantity or quality of students we hoped in areas like physics chemistry and bioshychemistry mathematiCs statistics and computing science says Professor McFarland
The committee has designed a number of new first-year courses which require a minimum average of 80 per cent for admission The courses will combine mathematics physics chemistry and computing and are structured to foster a better appreshyciation of the inter-connections between the disCiplines says Professor McFarland The more challenging courses will also enable bright highly qualified and motivated students to choose one or two additional elective courses in their first year
Professor McFarland admits the project is a departure from the usual departmental philosophy and says the one-year trial period will allow CPS to crawl before we walk He says a successful evaluation at the end of the trial period could lead to possible joint degrees in the areas of physics and chemistry or mathematics and computing
It could well be the first stage for a number of other interdisciplinary ventures in the College beyond the
first -year level says Professor Mcfarland
Acting CPS Dean Rod Gentry says the new intensive program will likely attrlct more of the best students to Guelph because in the sciences the best stude nts are very selective consumers Theyre looking for the best program while theyre still in high school
Former CPS Dean now Vice-President AcademicjackMacDonald conceived MPCZ because he believed that the way physical sciences were
being taught was historical and antiquated He says the departmental divisions in universities are almost tribal in nature and often lead to an arbitrary and artificial division of subject matter
Professor MacDonald says MPCZ which will be offered for the first time in September is consistent with the Universitys aims and objectives and is also consistent with the learning objectives in that it takes a holistic viewpoint in the teaching and learning of the material
GLASSBLOWE RHONORED Unive rSity glassblower Anne Hostetter has been honored by the American Scientific Glassblowers Society (ASGS) in Cincinnati Ohio for her paper Quartz EPR Flat Cel The Fischer and Porter Company of Pennsylvania offers the annual Kermit-Fischer Award in recognition of the best paper presented at the previous years symposium
The paper is selected by a jury from the ASGS on the basis of content app li cat ion presentat ion style graphics use and text
A quartz EPR flat cell is a difficult piece of glassware to make Ms Hostetter says but it is useful in EPR spectroscopy because it allows the 5anlple to be pOSitioned in the densest part of the magnetic field without interfe rence from the electric component of the rad iation
Ms Hostetter has used the techshynique described in her paper sucshycessfully for eight to nine years She forms the flat sides of the cell from two pieces of quartz glass with bevelled edges When spaced proshyperly the bevelled glass forms a V into which a length ofquartz piping is fitted and melted to seal the edges The standard spacing between the two pieces of flat glass is 25 mm
although she has made cells as small as 12 mm and as large as I mm
A 25-minute educaHonal videotape about the technique described in Ms Hostetters paper is available through the ASGS

WOMEN IN SCIENCE GATHER
About 80 women gathered on campus in February to hear Dr Lynda Pinnington talk about career planning forwomen in science Dr Pinnjngton beads Pinn ington Associates of Cambridge a consulting firm that focuses on applied productivity improvement techniques for business and industry Discussants for the careers night were Brenda Bonnett OVC 79 a PhD sludent in the Department of Veterinary Micro shybiology and Immunology and Jan Kaufman Library who is on the Preshysidents Advisory Council day care task force
This was the second event planned by an informal group of women scienshytists at Guelph Professors Susan Mclver chair of the Department of Enviro nmenta l Bio logy Mary Beverley-Burton Zoology and Janet Wood Chemistry and Biochemistry have been the moving forces behind this organization which has blosshysomed into a nucleus of about a dozen women representing aU the science colleges at Guelph They say the groups purpose is to increase awareness of the role of women in science and the opportunities and obstacles they may encounter The group also encourages informal netshyworking and social contacts
Weve avoided creating a formal structure Professor McIver says Meetings are held on an irregular basis and there are no official officers
In addition to offering careers nights the group has compiled a list of women in science at Guelph using the criteria ofa degree in science and employment at the University
Questions raised by the group re shysulted in the updating of the 1975 report of the Presidents Task Force on the status of women at the ni shyversity which led to the formation of the Presidents Advisory Committee on Equal Rights for Men and Women at the University of Guelph This committee chaired by Professor McIver will release a report this spring

OAC GRADUATE WRITES FROM MOZAMBIQUE
Ruth Beilin born and raised in Guelph graduated jromjohn F Ross C VI and earned a BA and a Dipshyloma in Agriculture She worked at the University and in Saskatchewan before going to Papua New Guinea with CUSO as an agricultural extension worker There she met her husband an Australian lawyer who was working in rural development After two years in New Guinea she attended Reading University in England and received an MSc in Agriculture Extension She joinedher husband in Australia and together they apPlied to work on anAustralian government project in Mozambique This is the first ofher letters (written in the summer Of 1986) on life and development in that war-torn country Ruth can be contacted at the follOwing address CAA cP 356 Maputo Mozambique
Life in Mozambique is a series of contrasts and challenges The area where we live is a fertile coastal strip that has been cultivated for at least 50 years - some parts longer Coconut palms wave in the breeze - their languid trunks arching over the dense foliage of the cashew trees planted between their rows The latifundia system practised by the Portuguese meant that as a rule local families had less than two hectares each of usually marginal land to farm for subsistence purposltS and that generally they could not grow permanent tree crops on these family spaces Therefore the wealth from these crops remained with the colonial farmers
Today the state is just beginning a large land reform program What it will mean in real terms is difficult to assess given the huge numbers of dislocated families from the interior dry areas and more desperate war zones The theory is that these families will be able to return to their own farm lands and accumulate more land there assuming that the war and
Ruth Beilin OAC 74
these years of drought and fanline will soon be over
The Mozambicans survive on their abilities as farmers The suffering and deprivation have made them strong conservationists sensitive to their crops and soils But some of the obstacles they face are overwhelming - broken (Ools scarce seed loss of animals Everything is a struggle
Village meetings are stimulating and full of lengthy debate Storyshytelling animation dancing and singing form an important part of the culture The present govenunent has used these means (0 awaken a political consciousness among the people who tend to be passive and accept their circumstances
Our group is not radical but we are different and perhaps threatening to this passivity Mozambicans are tired from hard work long years of fighting a declining economy and many reorganizations of agricultural policy We talk about self-sufficiency (which translated means more work) We talk about development but in agricultural terms offer no pesticides (except naturally occuring ones) import no tractors or cultivators and generally seem to be less modern than the Portuguese who left ten years ago We are not just talking
about rehabilitation but a whole developmental philosophy which is distinct from the projects of other development agencies in nearby districts Although the communities we work in agree that the long-term benefits are valid they must wonder when life is going to become easier
Through all this nms the struggle in southern Africa - the link between the apartheid regime in South Africa and the war in Mozanlbique and indeed in aU the frontline states This war destabilizes the countryside and terrorizes the people rfhe longer we live here and witness this nightmare the more we realize that the end of the war will not be because of things or people in Mozambique This is a war supported by the foreign policies of the West Countries that continue to support South Africa give strength to the South African economy strength that is translated into soldiers anlIDunition supplies and support for the bandidosannados - the armed bandits fighting FREUMO the legal Mozambican govenunent
I could weep when President Reagan says the American support for Jonas Savimbi against the Angolan government and Americas refusal to impose sanctions on South Africa maintains the balance of power between East and West He should stand on the ground where the price is being paid and teU the mourning villagers the dying and the maimed that the world is a better place for this carnage and that the chess games ofthe big men are the real value of human life
Many other countries play sinillar ifsmaller or less direct roles with the future ofsouthern Africa The tragedy of this land is the riches and vast potent ial which attract olltside interest and cost it dearly in ternlS of human resources
James and I first heard about the Rural Development Project in August 1984 when we were working for Community Aid Abroad (CAA) in
24
Australia At that time there was optimism about Mozambique The Nkomati Peace Accord was to end South Mrkas support for the bandits in exchange for diminished support from Mozambique for the African National Congress The project was to be an integrated rural development scheme in health water and agrishyculture
But the war has not ended and it is a constant stumbling block to all aspirations and plans not to mention wearing on ones spirit Still that potential and challenge are alluring and we plod on down the developshyment road trying to build up organization and infrastructure Waiting for the day when things may normalize (After 10 years of war what is normal)
We arrived in Mozambique in April 1985 with James as project director and me as agriculturalist The health team ( a midwife and doctor ) and the community development worker arrived in late August and the water engineer in January 1986 The six of us live on the project site in a nleal district centre The official language is Portuguese and our official work is in that language However the people generally speak their own languages and so communication below the official level continues to be difficult Still they are very patient with our attempts to communicate and live in their communities
My own work is starting to become more visible Three agricultural technicians and I have organized a program of support for the fdmily sector in agriculture This is largely an education extension system that operates on three levels The first level consists of training zone representatives in practical demonshystrations ofagricultural techniques in their home area ( each zone has roughly 60 families and is represented by one man and woman chosen by their community) The zone reps are linked in training sessions and in countryside visits to the second level - an enquadradore who is basically the official link to the district agricultural system There are only five functioning enquadradores in a district of 110000 or more people so we had pound0 create the agricultural reps to make the enquadradores task possible The training program for the enquadradores is critically important because they have no agriculturaJ background but must collect and transmit agricultural information The third level is the agricultural technicians themselves These young counterparts are likely to be the directors and administrators of the future They are also the direct teaching link to the people
After months of meetings and discussions at every level of village and district structure we swung into operation with the agriculture reps
program and the horticultural crops campaign ThankfuUy some of the long-awaited tools - hoes bush knives and seeds - also arrived It is too early to know what the results might be but we are optimistic that with good rains and no bandits family sector food production will show an improvement this ftest season
James gets the thankless task of organizing logistics supplies deleshygations and the endless bookwork Often caught in the middle of our demands the reali ty of the Australian budget and the nightmare of transshyporting difficult ies he somehow remains Cltllm and diplomatic He spends three weeks in the project office in the district centre at the site and the fourth is spent in the capital Mapmo at the CAA office
Our daughter Leah makes a huge differe n ce to our lives The MozambiGms are enchanted by her James is known as the husband of the mother of the baby I am known as the mother of the baby and Leah is known by her own name throughout the area She comes out with me mornings and spends afternoons with James in the office
As always 1 necd to say morc than there is time for My hope is that this letter wi ll personalize what is happening in southern Africa so that more support will come to stop the war and the terrible sadness all around this region

OAC CO-OP PROGRAM POPULAR WITH STUDENTS AND EMPLOYERS
Co-op education is the only way to go says Janice Parker OAC 86 Her comment is reflective of the overall view held by co-op students and employers alike
The co-operative education proshygram which has been available to OAC students for the past five years formally integrates the students academic srudy with work experience in co-operating employer organishyzations Usually the student alternates four months ofsoldywith four months of work in the agricultu ral industry directly related to his or her field of study
The co-op program provided me with invaluable work experience in the food science field This experience also enabled me to get an overseas job (through an international exshychange association ) inmy field says Janice who worked as a research assistant in an alcohol company in Finland
Janice says the practical lessons learned on work tenus made classshyroom theory easier to understand She also says the co-op program gave her the benefits of increased selfshyconfidence and the ability to present herse lf well at a job interview Employment interviews generally occur on campus in the middle of the academic term preceding each work semester The interviews are comshypetitive in nature as are the salaries paid by employers which usually average S 1100-$ 1500 per month
Kenda Allen OAC 86 says the coshyop program definitely helps with finances Besides earning money you only pay for four months of your education at a time
While in the program Kenda worked terms as a fieldperson with the Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation as a horse show entry clerk with the Royal Wi nter fair and as a rural organization specialist assistant with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food She now works full-time as associate editor of the
Canadian Ay rshire Review which promotes the Ayrshire breed
My experience in the co-op program helped me obtain obtain my present job I al 0 made contacts which w ill continue to benefi t my career says Kenda
By working at a variety of jobs Kenda explains she was able to narrow down her options and fi nd the correct path to take
Kenda says she also enjoyed the break from the books every four months which allowed her to apply what she was learning
Equally Enthusiastic Employers are equally enthusiastic
about the program Paul Nelson OAC 70 MA 72 vice-preSident of manufacturing and technical services at Corporate Foods in Toronto participated in earlyplanning scssions for the co-op program He cant understand why anyone would not choose the p rogram and feels that ifit had been available when he was a student it would have been very beneficial to him
Paul says the program gives students and employers a chance to assess one another during a fXed time-frame If the students do well he says his company is committed to hiring them on a permanent basis when the opportunity arises We always tell them to keep in touch he says We have found Guelph sOldents to be eager capable and adaptable
Doug Flint OAC 85 who spent two work terms with Corporate Foods was hired permanently as a quality assurance and sanitation supervisor In his case the program came full circle when he hired Guelph co-op student Brenda Ternyik as his assistant last summer and Kelly Newell OAC 82 as his permanenr assistant recently
Doug says the program is a good method of screening for both students and employers It helped me decide what [ did and did not want to do career-wise and it set me up for a
permanent job The company in rum was hiring someone they already knew something about
Suzanne Raymond OAC 77 a research and development manager with Pillsbury Canada Ltd in Toronto says her company has hired many coshyop students as research and developshyment technicians Since product development is seasonal the four month time-frame for work terms is especially suitable for Pillsbury Students undertake short-term proshyjects where it would be uneconomical to hire full-time employees
Suzanne says Pillsbury originally got involved with the co-op program from a recruiting standpoint It gives us exposure to the students and we can test how well they work she says It also gives us exposure to I what is happening at the University in terms of research and the food industry
Suzanne says another benefit is the freshness and vitality students bring with them to the job She has found them on the whole to be very good workers
Louis Paul Ricard a manager with Cargill Ltd a grain company that services both domestic and export markets says the co-op program gives his company a good idea of the calibre of student coming out of university today The work they do is a real contribution to the company as well
Cargills first co-op student Don foster OAC 86 has been hired full shytime as a grain merchant While on work terms with CargiU he had jobs in both Ontario and Alberta Don says an advantage of the co-op program is the opportunity to live and work in different areas of the country
Cargill also hired the co -op programs first crop science graduate John Ormrod OAC 85 who now works in Saskatchewan

Etta (Birdsall) Gamham Mac 17D will celebrate her 96th birthday this summer and still maintains a keen interest in the College she graduated from many years ago
She attended Macdonald Institute from 191 5-17 receiving her diploma in ProfessionaJ Housekeeping When she moved into Maple Manor Nursing Home in Tillsonburg two years ago that diploma was one of the things she wanted to take with her says Marlene ( Pfaff) Oatman FACS 75 MA 78 Etta is Marlenes husbands great aunt Marlene teaches in the Departments of Family Studies and So iology and Anthropology and says Aunt Etta wants to know everything I cover in my courses If she doesnt quite understand she gets a book from the library and will quiz me the next time I see her based on what she has read
Etta reads the Guelph Alumnus to keep up with what is happening at the University As well as changes in courses she likes to know about changes in buildings on campus When she was a student she lived in Macdonald Hall
Etta was more adventurous than other young women of her day Born in South Middleton Township in lS91 she attended school at SS 13 in Middleton and Tillsonburg High School until 1905 She graduated from London Normal School in 1909 and at the age of IS undertook her first teaching position at SS 1 Middleton with 49 students in Grades l-S under her sole supervision She continued teaching until 1915 when she decided to return to school to study domestic science at Guelph
After graduating she amwered an advertisement in the newspaper and headed West to take a job as dietitian and housekeeper in a 200-be d teaching hospital in Regina
I never worked so hard in my life Etta says of her year at the hospital Although she enjoyed the work When the year was up I was tired out she says So she accepted a teaching position at a prairie school at Tuxford Sask She taught there
Etta (Birdsall) Gamham Mac 17D
until the flu epidemic in 1918 closed all the schools She then turned her attention to nursing the sick until she got the flu herself
She can still remember being bedshyridden at the home of a farm family when she heard the news on Novemshy
ber 11 1915 thatthe First World War had ended
Etta returned home in 1919 to teach first in St Catharines then at Mabees Corners and finally at Guysboro where she met her husband Lee the eligible young farmer who lived across the road from the school They were married in July of 1921 and enjoyed 62 years together before his death four years ago
She continued teaching afte r marriage but only when she was needed she says because farm work kept her busy then
Ive had a lovely life Etta says And although she is now confined to a wheelchair she says shes been as healthy as can be all my life
Asked if there is any secret to her longevity she quickly responds choose your grandfather wisely because you inherit your health She points out her own father lived to be 99 and her grandmother lived to be 100

MILESTONE CE EBRATION FOR OVC
With a flourish of kilts and bagshypipes OVC began celebrating its 125th birthday February 12 The COllege is the oldest veterinary school in continuous operation in North and South America
A special lecture by eminent Scotshytish scientist Dr WilJiam FH Jarrett whose work pioneered AIDS research commemorated the founding of the College and the unique contributions of the veterinary medical profession in the advancement of scientific knowledge and disease control
Dr Jarrett of the University of Glasgow Veterinary School gave a public lecture Vacdnation Against Retroviruses From FAIDS to AIDS His work on Feline Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (FAIDS) has been the basis for subsequent research into AIDS
Dr jarretts lecture took place in War Memorial Hall exactly 125 years after OVCs inaugural address was delivered in Toronto by another Scotsman founder Andrew Smith
Dr Smi th a graduate of the Edinburgh School of Veterinary Medicine was brought to Toronto by the Board of Agriculture of Upper Canada to open a veterinary practice and provide instruction He operated the school under private charter in Toronto until 1908 when it became aftlliated with the University of Toronto nle College moved to Guelph in 1922 becoming a coshyoperative neighbor for the OAC The two later joined with Macdonald Institute to become the founding Colleges of the University of Guelph in 1964
Since the issue of Dr Smiths charshyter the College has contributed substantially to the improvement of public health says OVC Dean Ole Nielsen College faculty were instrushymenta] in the development of milkshytesting programs for mastitis and were involved in the livestock vaccination and testing programs that led to the elimination of tuberculosis and brucellosis in humans and animals
In keeping with the Scottish theme Dr Dean Percy ave 57 MSc 66 a professor in the Department OfPathology piped Dr William PH Jarrett into War Memorial Hall for his special lecture February 12 Also in the procession were President Burt Matthews ave Dean Ole Nielsen specially invited ave retirees andplatform guests (Photo by Tim Sullivan)
They were pioneers in domestic ani shymal surgery and among the first veterinarians to adopt modem surgical techniques Faculty researchers also perfected techniques for the artificial insemination ofdairy cattle and swine and for freezing bull semen
Researdl efforts have continually expanded in areas of comparative medicine where human and vetershyinary medicine cross paths The College is now at the forefront of research on organ transplants and bone surgery and research is proshyceeding in other areas of potential benefit to human medicine including genetically engineered vaccines and cancer research
Each year thousands ofanimals are brought to the ColJege for study and treatment The 2000 patients treated at the large animal clinic last year included an elephant a kangaroo and a gnu Almost 8000 animals visited the small animal clinic and more than 16000 farm animals - mostly cattle
- were seen in the ambulatory clinics herd health program The Colleges wild bird clinic is the only one of its kind in Canada

PROGRAM AIMS TO ATTRACT BRIGHTEST STUDENTS
By Sandra Couch Public Relations and Information
The Universitys share of the best and brightest first-year students in the physical sciences could well increase with the introduction of a challenging interdisciplinary one-year pilot project called MPC2 (for Mathematics-Physics-Chemistry-Comshyputing Science ) says Professor Ernie McFarland Physics
Professor McFarland chairman of the CPS interdiSciplinary curriculum committee says the basic introductory courses now in place were designed to serve all tbe students in classes that often reach 300 in size Very bright students the committee found were not as stimulated as they could have been
With the courses as they werewe were not attracting the quantity or quality of students we hoped in areas like physics chemistry and bioshychemistry mathematiCs statistics and computing science says Professor McFarland
The committee has designed a number of new first-year courses which require a minimum average of 80 per cent for admission The courses will combine mathematics physics chemistry and computing and are structured to foster a better appreshyciation of the inter-connections between the disCiplines says Professor McFarland The more challenging courses will also enable bright highly qualified and motivated students to choose one or two additional elective courses in their first year
Professor McFarland admits the project is a departure from the usual departmental philosophy and says the one-year trial period will allow CPS to crawl before we walk He says a successful evaluation at the end of the trial period could lead to possible joint degrees in the areas of physics and chemistry or mathematics and computing
It could well be the first stage for a number of other interdisciplinary ventures in the College beyond the
first -year level says Professor Mcfarland
Acting CPS Dean Rod Gentry says the new intensive program will likely attrlct more of the best students to Guelph because in the sciences the best stude nts are very selective consumers Theyre looking for the best program while theyre still in high school
Former CPS Dean now Vice-President AcademicjackMacDonald conceived MPCZ because he believed that the way physical sciences were
being taught was historical and antiquated He says the departmental divisions in universities are almost tribal in nature and often lead to an arbitrary and artificial division of subject matter
Professor MacDonald says MPCZ which will be offered for the first time in September is consistent with the Universitys aims and objectives and is also consistent with the learning objectives in that it takes a holistic viewpoint in the teaching and learning of the material
GLASSBLOWE RHONORED Unive rSity glassblower Anne Hostetter has been honored by the American Scientific Glassblowers Society (ASGS) in Cincinnati Ohio for her paper Quartz EPR Flat Cel The Fischer and Porter Company of Pennsylvania offers the annual Kermit-Fischer Award in recognition of the best paper presented at the previous years symposium
The paper is selected by a jury from the ASGS on the basis of content app li cat ion presentat ion style graphics use and text
A quartz EPR flat cell is a difficult piece of glassware to make Ms Hostetter says but it is useful in EPR spectroscopy because it allows the 5anlple to be pOSitioned in the densest part of the magnetic field without interfe rence from the electric component of the rad iation
Ms Hostetter has used the techshynique described in her paper sucshycessfully for eight to nine years She forms the flat sides of the cell from two pieces of quartz glass with bevelled edges When spaced proshyperly the bevelled glass forms a V into which a length ofquartz piping is fitted and melted to seal the edges The standard spacing between the two pieces of flat glass is 25 mm
although she has made cells as small as 12 mm and as large as I mm
A 25-minute educaHonal videotape about the technique described in Ms Hostetters paper is available through the ASGS

WOMEN IN SCIENCE GATHER
About 80 women gathered on campus in February to hear Dr Lynda Pinnington talk about career planning forwomen in science Dr Pinnjngton beads Pinn ington Associates of Cambridge a consulting firm that focuses on applied productivity improvement techniques for business and industry Discussants for the careers night were Brenda Bonnett OVC 79 a PhD sludent in the Department of Veterinary Micro shybiology and Immunology and Jan Kaufman Library who is on the Preshysidents Advisory Council day care task force
This was the second event planned by an informal group of women scienshytists at Guelph Professors Susan Mclver chair of the Department of Enviro nmenta l Bio logy Mary Beverley-Burton Zoology and Janet Wood Chemistry and Biochemistry have been the moving forces behind this organization which has blosshysomed into a nucleus of about a dozen women representing aU the science colleges at Guelph They say the groups purpose is to increase awareness of the role of women in science and the opportunities and obstacles they may encounter The group also encourages informal netshyworking and social contacts
Weve avoided creating a formal structure Professor McIver says Meetings are held on an irregular basis and there are no official officers
In addition to offering careers nights the group has compiled a list of women in science at Guelph using the criteria ofa degree in science and employment at the University
Questions raised by the group re shysulted in the updating of the 1975 report of the Presidents Task Force on the status of women at the ni shyversity which led to the formation of the Presidents Advisory Committee on Equal Rights for Men and Women at the University of Guelph This committee chaired by Professor McIver will release a report this spring

OAC GRADUATE WRITES FROM MOZAMBIQUE
Ruth Beilin born and raised in Guelph graduated jromjohn F Ross C VI and earned a BA and a Dipshyloma in Agriculture She worked at the University and in Saskatchewan before going to Papua New Guinea with CUSO as an agricultural extension worker There she met her husband an Australian lawyer who was working in rural development After two years in New Guinea she attended Reading University in England and received an MSc in Agriculture Extension She joinedher husband in Australia and together they apPlied to work on anAustralian government project in Mozambique This is the first ofher letters (written in the summer Of 1986) on life and development in that war-torn country Ruth can be contacted at the follOwing address CAA cP 356 Maputo Mozambique
Life in Mozambique is a series of contrasts and challenges The area where we live is a fertile coastal strip that has been cultivated for at least 50 years - some parts longer Coconut palms wave in the breeze - their languid trunks arching over the dense foliage of the cashew trees planted between their rows The latifundia system practised by the Portuguese meant that as a rule local families had less than two hectares each of usually marginal land to farm for subsistence purposltS and that generally they could not grow permanent tree crops on these family spaces Therefore the wealth from these crops remained with the colonial farmers
Today the state is just beginning a large land reform program What it will mean in real terms is difficult to assess given the huge numbers of dislocated families from the interior dry areas and more desperate war zones The theory is that these families will be able to return to their own farm lands and accumulate more land there assuming that the war and
Ruth Beilin OAC 74
these years of drought and fanline will soon be over
The Mozambicans survive on their abilities as farmers The suffering and deprivation have made them strong conservationists sensitive to their crops and soils But some of the obstacles they face are overwhelming - broken (Ools scarce seed loss of animals Everything is a struggle
Village meetings are stimulating and full of lengthy debate Storyshytelling animation dancing and singing form an important part of the culture The present govenunent has used these means (0 awaken a political consciousness among the people who tend to be passive and accept their circumstances
Our group is not radical but we are different and perhaps threatening to this passivity Mozambicans are tired from hard work long years of fighting a declining economy and many reorganizations of agricultural policy We talk about self-sufficiency (which translated means more work) We talk about development but in agricultural terms offer no pesticides (except naturally occuring ones) import no tractors or cultivators and generally seem to be less modern than the Portuguese who left ten years ago We are not just talking
about rehabilitation but a whole developmental philosophy which is distinct from the projects of other development agencies in nearby districts Although the communities we work in agree that the long-term benefits are valid they must wonder when life is going to become easier
Through all this nms the struggle in southern Africa - the link between the apartheid regime in South Africa and the war in Mozanlbique and indeed in aU the frontline states This war destabilizes the countryside and terrorizes the people rfhe longer we live here and witness this nightmare the more we realize that the end of the war will not be because of things or people in Mozambique This is a war supported by the foreign policies of the West Countries that continue to support South Africa give strength to the South African economy strength that is translated into soldiers anlIDunition supplies and support for the bandidosannados - the armed bandits fighting FREUMO the legal Mozambican govenunent
I could weep when President Reagan says the American support for Jonas Savimbi against the Angolan government and Americas refusal to impose sanctions on South Africa maintains the balance of power between East and West He should stand on the ground where the price is being paid and teU the mourning villagers the dying and the maimed that the world is a better place for this carnage and that the chess games ofthe big men are the real value of human life
Many other countries play sinillar ifsmaller or less direct roles with the future ofsouthern Africa The tragedy of this land is the riches and vast potent ial which attract olltside interest and cost it dearly in ternlS of human resources
James and I first heard about the Rural Development Project in August 1984 when we were working for Community Aid Abroad (CAA) in
24
Australia At that time there was optimism about Mozambique The Nkomati Peace Accord was to end South Mrkas support for the bandits in exchange for diminished support from Mozambique for the African National Congress The project was to be an integrated rural development scheme in health water and agrishyculture
But the war has not ended and it is a constant stumbling block to all aspirations and plans not to mention wearing on ones spirit Still that potential and challenge are alluring and we plod on down the developshyment road trying to build up organization and infrastructure Waiting for the day when things may normalize (After 10 years of war what is normal)
We arrived in Mozambique in April 1985 with James as project director and me as agriculturalist The health team ( a midwife and doctor ) and the community development worker arrived in late August and the water engineer in January 1986 The six of us live on the project site in a nleal district centre The official language is Portuguese and our official work is in that language However the people generally speak their own languages and so communication below the official level continues to be difficult Still they are very patient with our attempts to communicate and live in their communities
My own work is starting to become more visible Three agricultural technicians and I have organized a program of support for the fdmily sector in agriculture This is largely an education extension system that operates on three levels The first level consists of training zone representatives in practical demonshystrations ofagricultural techniques in their home area ( each zone has roughly 60 families and is represented by one man and woman chosen by their community) The zone reps are linked in training sessions and in countryside visits to the second level - an enquadradore who is basically the official link to the district agricultural system There are only five functioning enquadradores in a district of 110000 or more people so we had pound0 create the agricultural reps to make the enquadradores task possible The training program for the enquadradores is critically important because they have no agriculturaJ background but must collect and transmit agricultural information The third level is the agricultural technicians themselves These young counterparts are likely to be the directors and administrators of the future They are also the direct teaching link to the people
After months of meetings and discussions at every level of village and district structure we swung into operation with the agriculture reps
program and the horticultural crops campaign ThankfuUy some of the long-awaited tools - hoes bush knives and seeds - also arrived It is too early to know what the results might be but we are optimistic that with good rains and no bandits family sector food production will show an improvement this ftest season
James gets the thankless task of organizing logistics supplies deleshygations and the endless bookwork Often caught in the middle of our demands the reali ty of the Australian budget and the nightmare of transshyporting difficult ies he somehow remains Cltllm and diplomatic He spends three weeks in the project office in the district centre at the site and the fourth is spent in the capital Mapmo at the CAA office
Our daughter Leah makes a huge differe n ce to our lives The MozambiGms are enchanted by her James is known as the husband of the mother of the baby I am known as the mother of the baby and Leah is known by her own name throughout the area She comes out with me mornings and spends afternoons with James in the office
As always 1 necd to say morc than there is time for My hope is that this letter wi ll personalize what is happening in southern Africa so that more support will come to stop the war and the terrible sadness all around this region

OAC CO-OP PROGRAM POPULAR WITH STUDENTS AND EMPLOYERS
Co-op education is the only way to go says Janice Parker OAC 86 Her comment is reflective of the overall view held by co-op students and employers alike
The co-operative education proshygram which has been available to OAC students for the past five years formally integrates the students academic srudy with work experience in co-operating employer organishyzations Usually the student alternates four months ofsoldywith four months of work in the agricultu ral industry directly related to his or her field of study
The co-op program provided me with invaluable work experience in the food science field This experience also enabled me to get an overseas job (through an international exshychange association ) inmy field says Janice who worked as a research assistant in an alcohol company in Finland
Janice says the practical lessons learned on work tenus made classshyroom theory easier to understand She also says the co-op program gave her the benefits of increased selfshyconfidence and the ability to present herse lf well at a job interview Employment interviews generally occur on campus in the middle of the academic term preceding each work semester The interviews are comshypetitive in nature as are the salaries paid by employers which usually average S 1100-$ 1500 per month
Kenda Allen OAC 86 says the coshyop program definitely helps with finances Besides earning money you only pay for four months of your education at a time
While in the program Kenda worked terms as a fieldperson with the Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation as a horse show entry clerk with the Royal Wi nter fair and as a rural organization specialist assistant with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food She now works full-time as associate editor of the
Canadian Ay rshire Review which promotes the Ayrshire breed
My experience in the co-op program helped me obtain obtain my present job I al 0 made contacts which w ill continue to benefi t my career says Kenda
By working at a variety of jobs Kenda explains she was able to narrow down her options and fi nd the correct path to take
Kenda says she also enjoyed the break from the books every four months which allowed her to apply what she was learning
Equally Enthusiastic Employers are equally enthusiastic
about the program Paul Nelson OAC 70 MA 72 vice-preSident of manufacturing and technical services at Corporate Foods in Toronto participated in earlyplanning scssions for the co-op program He cant understand why anyone would not choose the p rogram and feels that ifit had been available when he was a student it would have been very beneficial to him
Paul says the program gives students and employers a chance to assess one another during a fXed time-frame If the students do well he says his company is committed to hiring them on a permanent basis when the opportunity arises We always tell them to keep in touch he says We have found Guelph sOldents to be eager capable and adaptable
Doug Flint OAC 85 who spent two work terms with Corporate Foods was hired permanently as a quality assurance and sanitation supervisor In his case the program came full circle when he hired Guelph co-op student Brenda Ternyik as his assistant last summer and Kelly Newell OAC 82 as his permanenr assistant recently
Doug says the program is a good method of screening for both students and employers It helped me decide what [ did and did not want to do career-wise and it set me up for a
permanent job The company in rum was hiring someone they already knew something about
Suzanne Raymond OAC 77 a research and development manager with Pillsbury Canada Ltd in Toronto says her company has hired many coshyop students as research and developshyment technicians Since product development is seasonal the four month time-frame for work terms is especially suitable for Pillsbury Students undertake short-term proshyjects where it would be uneconomical to hire full-time employees
Suzanne says Pillsbury originally got involved with the co-op program from a recruiting standpoint It gives us exposure to the students and we can test how well they work she says It also gives us exposure to I what is happening at the University in terms of research and the food industry
Suzanne says another benefit is the freshness and vitality students bring with them to the job She has found them on the whole to be very good workers
Louis Paul Ricard a manager with Cargill Ltd a grain company that services both domestic and export markets says the co-op program gives his company a good idea of the calibre of student coming out of university today The work they do is a real contribution to the company as well
Cargills first co-op student Don foster OAC 86 has been hired full shytime as a grain merchant While on work terms with CargiU he had jobs in both Ontario and Alberta Don says an advantage of the co-op program is the opportunity to live and work in different areas of the country
Cargill also hired the co -op programs first crop science graduate John Ormrod OAC 85 who now works in Saskatchewan

Etta (Birdsall) Gamham Mac 17D will celebrate her 96th birthday this summer and still maintains a keen interest in the College she graduated from many years ago
She attended Macdonald Institute from 191 5-17 receiving her diploma in ProfessionaJ Housekeeping When she moved into Maple Manor Nursing Home in Tillsonburg two years ago that diploma was one of the things she wanted to take with her says Marlene ( Pfaff) Oatman FACS 75 MA 78 Etta is Marlenes husbands great aunt Marlene teaches in the Departments of Family Studies and So iology and Anthropology and says Aunt Etta wants to know everything I cover in my courses If she doesnt quite understand she gets a book from the library and will quiz me the next time I see her based on what she has read
Etta reads the Guelph Alumnus to keep up with what is happening at the University As well as changes in courses she likes to know about changes in buildings on campus When she was a student she lived in Macdonald Hall
Etta was more adventurous than other young women of her day Born in South Middleton Township in lS91 she attended school at SS 13 in Middleton and Tillsonburg High School until 1905 She graduated from London Normal School in 1909 and at the age of IS undertook her first teaching position at SS 1 Middleton with 49 students in Grades l-S under her sole supervision She continued teaching until 1915 when she decided to return to school to study domestic science at Guelph
After graduating she amwered an advertisement in the newspaper and headed West to take a job as dietitian and housekeeper in a 200-be d teaching hospital in Regina
I never worked so hard in my life Etta says of her year at the hospital Although she enjoyed the work When the year was up I was tired out she says So she accepted a teaching position at a prairie school at Tuxford Sask She taught there
Etta (Birdsall) Gamham Mac 17D
until the flu epidemic in 1918 closed all the schools She then turned her attention to nursing the sick until she got the flu herself
She can still remember being bedshyridden at the home of a farm family when she heard the news on Novemshy
ber 11 1915 thatthe First World War had ended
Etta returned home in 1919 to teach first in St Catharines then at Mabees Corners and finally at Guysboro where she met her husband Lee the eligible young farmer who lived across the road from the school They were married in July of 1921 and enjoyed 62 years together before his death four years ago
She continued teaching afte r marriage but only when she was needed she says because farm work kept her busy then
Ive had a lovely life Etta says And although she is now confined to a wheelchair she says shes been as healthy as can be all my life
Asked if there is any secret to her longevity she quickly responds choose your grandfather wisely because you inherit your health She points out her own father lived to be 99 and her grandmother lived to be 100

Dr Smi th a graduate of the Edinburgh School of Veterinary Medicine was brought to Toronto by the Board of Agriculture of Upper Canada to open a veterinary practice and provide instruction He operated the school under private charter in Toronto until 1908 when it became aftlliated with the University of Toronto nle College moved to Guelph in 1922 becoming a coshyoperative neighbor for the OAC The two later joined with Macdonald Institute to become the founding Colleges of the University of Guelph in 1964
Since the issue of Dr Smiths charshyter the College has contributed substantially to the improvement of public health says OVC Dean Ole Nielsen College faculty were instrushymenta] in the development of milkshytesting programs for mastitis and were involved in the livestock vaccination and testing programs that led to the elimination of tuberculosis and brucellosis in humans and animals
In keeping with the Scottish theme Dr Dean Percy ave 57 MSc 66 a professor in the Department OfPathology piped Dr William PH Jarrett into War Memorial Hall for his special lecture February 12 Also in the procession were President Burt Matthews ave Dean Ole Nielsen specially invited ave retirees andplatform guests (Photo by Tim Sullivan)
They were pioneers in domestic ani shymal surgery and among the first veterinarians to adopt modem surgical techniques Faculty researchers also perfected techniques for the artificial insemination ofdairy cattle and swine and for freezing bull semen
Researdl efforts have continually expanded in areas of comparative medicine where human and vetershyinary medicine cross paths The College is now at the forefront of research on organ transplants and bone surgery and research is proshyceeding in other areas of potential benefit to human medicine including genetically engineered vaccines and cancer research
Each year thousands ofanimals are brought to the ColJege for study and treatment The 2000 patients treated at the large animal clinic last year included an elephant a kangaroo and a gnu Almost 8000 animals visited the small animal clinic and more than 16000 farm animals - mostly cattle
- were seen in the ambulatory clinics herd health program The Colleges wild bird clinic is the only one of its kind in Canada
OVCs department of patholOgy is the Norlh American centre for reshysearch on marine animals and the Canadian centre for diagnostic expershytise in fish pathology The College is closely affiliated with the new Guelph Centre for Equine Research
OVCs influence on the intershynational scene has been substantial Students comefrom around the world (0 study at the undergraduate gradshyuate and post-graduate levels In 1974 the College joined the Canadian international Development Agency in establishing a veterinary school in Malaysia the first in southeast Asia
Celebrations for OVCs 125th birthday will continue throughout the year A highlight onJune 19 is the official opening of the Colleges new Sl35-million large animal faCility

PROGRAM AIMS TO ATTRACT BRIGHTEST STUDENTS
By Sandra Couch Public Relations and Information
The Universitys share of the best and brightest first-year students in the physical sciences could well increase with the introduction of a challenging interdisciplinary one-year pilot project called MPC2 (for Mathematics-Physics-Chemistry-Comshyputing Science ) says Professor Ernie McFarland Physics
Professor McFarland chairman of the CPS interdiSciplinary curriculum committee says the basic introductory courses now in place were designed to serve all tbe students in classes that often reach 300 in size Very bright students the committee found were not as stimulated as they could have been
With the courses as they werewe were not attracting the quantity or quality of students we hoped in areas like physics chemistry and bioshychemistry mathematiCs statistics and computing science says Professor McFarland
The committee has designed a number of new first-year courses which require a minimum average of 80 per cent for admission The courses will combine mathematics physics chemistry and computing and are structured to foster a better appreshyciation of the inter-connections between the disCiplines says Professor McFarland The more challenging courses will also enable bright highly qualified and motivated students to choose one or two additional elective courses in their first year
Professor McFarland admits the project is a departure from the usual departmental philosophy and says the one-year trial period will allow CPS to crawl before we walk He says a successful evaluation at the end of the trial period could lead to possible joint degrees in the areas of physics and chemistry or mathematics and computing
It could well be the first stage for a number of other interdisciplinary ventures in the College beyond the
first -year level says Professor Mcfarland
Acting CPS Dean Rod Gentry says the new intensive program will likely attrlct more of the best students to Guelph because in the sciences the best stude nts are very selective consumers Theyre looking for the best program while theyre still in high school
Former CPS Dean now Vice-President AcademicjackMacDonald conceived MPCZ because he believed that the way physical sciences were
being taught was historical and antiquated He says the departmental divisions in universities are almost tribal in nature and often lead to an arbitrary and artificial division of subject matter
Professor MacDonald says MPCZ which will be offered for the first time in September is consistent with the Universitys aims and objectives and is also consistent with the learning objectives in that it takes a holistic viewpoint in the teaching and learning of the material
GLASSBLOWE RHONORED Unive rSity glassblower Anne Hostetter has been honored by the American Scientific Glassblowers Society (ASGS) in Cincinnati Ohio for her paper Quartz EPR Flat Cel The Fischer and Porter Company of Pennsylvania offers the annual Kermit-Fischer Award in recognition of the best paper presented at the previous years symposium
The paper is selected by a jury from the ASGS on the basis of content app li cat ion presentat ion style graphics use and text
A quartz EPR flat cell is a difficult piece of glassware to make Ms Hostetter says but it is useful in EPR spectroscopy because it allows the 5anlple to be pOSitioned in the densest part of the magnetic field without interfe rence from the electric component of the rad iation
Ms Hostetter has used the techshynique described in her paper sucshycessfully for eight to nine years She forms the flat sides of the cell from two pieces of quartz glass with bevelled edges When spaced proshyperly the bevelled glass forms a V into which a length ofquartz piping is fitted and melted to seal the edges The standard spacing between the two pieces of flat glass is 25 mm
although she has made cells as small as 12 mm and as large as I mm
A 25-minute educaHonal videotape about the technique described in Ms Hostetters paper is available through the ASGS

WOMEN IN SCIENCE GATHER
About 80 women gathered on campus in February to hear Dr Lynda Pinnington talk about career planning forwomen in science Dr Pinnjngton beads Pinn ington Associates of Cambridge a consulting firm that focuses on applied productivity improvement techniques for business and industry Discussants for the careers night were Brenda Bonnett OVC 79 a PhD sludent in the Department of Veterinary Micro shybiology and Immunology and Jan Kaufman Library who is on the Preshysidents Advisory Council day care task force
This was the second event planned by an informal group of women scienshytists at Guelph Professors Susan Mclver chair of the Department of Enviro nmenta l Bio logy Mary Beverley-Burton Zoology and Janet Wood Chemistry and Biochemistry have been the moving forces behind this organization which has blosshysomed into a nucleus of about a dozen women representing aU the science colleges at Guelph They say the groups purpose is to increase awareness of the role of women in science and the opportunities and obstacles they may encounter The group also encourages informal netshyworking and social contacts
Weve avoided creating a formal structure Professor McIver says Meetings are held on an irregular basis and there are no official officers
In addition to offering careers nights the group has compiled a list of women in science at Guelph using the criteria ofa degree in science and employment at the University
Questions raised by the group re shysulted in the updating of the 1975 report of the Presidents Task Force on the status of women at the ni shyversity which led to the formation of the Presidents Advisory Committee on Equal Rights for Men and Women at the University of Guelph This committee chaired by Professor McIver will release a report this spring

OAC GRADUATE WRITES FROM MOZAMBIQUE
Ruth Beilin born and raised in Guelph graduated jromjohn F Ross C VI and earned a BA and a Dipshyloma in Agriculture She worked at the University and in Saskatchewan before going to Papua New Guinea with CUSO as an agricultural extension worker There she met her husband an Australian lawyer who was working in rural development After two years in New Guinea she attended Reading University in England and received an MSc in Agriculture Extension She joinedher husband in Australia and together they apPlied to work on anAustralian government project in Mozambique This is the first ofher letters (written in the summer Of 1986) on life and development in that war-torn country Ruth can be contacted at the follOwing address CAA cP 356 Maputo Mozambique
Life in Mozambique is a series of contrasts and challenges The area where we live is a fertile coastal strip that has been cultivated for at least 50 years - some parts longer Coconut palms wave in the breeze - their languid trunks arching over the dense foliage of the cashew trees planted between their rows The latifundia system practised by the Portuguese meant that as a rule local families had less than two hectares each of usually marginal land to farm for subsistence purposltS and that generally they could not grow permanent tree crops on these family spaces Therefore the wealth from these crops remained with the colonial farmers
Today the state is just beginning a large land reform program What it will mean in real terms is difficult to assess given the huge numbers of dislocated families from the interior dry areas and more desperate war zones The theory is that these families will be able to return to their own farm lands and accumulate more land there assuming that the war and
Ruth Beilin OAC 74
these years of drought and fanline will soon be over
The Mozambicans survive on their abilities as farmers The suffering and deprivation have made them strong conservationists sensitive to their crops and soils But some of the obstacles they face are overwhelming - broken (Ools scarce seed loss of animals Everything is a struggle
Village meetings are stimulating and full of lengthy debate Storyshytelling animation dancing and singing form an important part of the culture The present govenunent has used these means (0 awaken a political consciousness among the people who tend to be passive and accept their circumstances
Our group is not radical but we are different and perhaps threatening to this passivity Mozambicans are tired from hard work long years of fighting a declining economy and many reorganizations of agricultural policy We talk about self-sufficiency (which translated means more work) We talk about development but in agricultural terms offer no pesticides (except naturally occuring ones) import no tractors or cultivators and generally seem to be less modern than the Portuguese who left ten years ago We are not just talking
about rehabilitation but a whole developmental philosophy which is distinct from the projects of other development agencies in nearby districts Although the communities we work in agree that the long-term benefits are valid they must wonder when life is going to become easier
Through all this nms the struggle in southern Africa - the link between the apartheid regime in South Africa and the war in Mozanlbique and indeed in aU the frontline states This war destabilizes the countryside and terrorizes the people rfhe longer we live here and witness this nightmare the more we realize that the end of the war will not be because of things or people in Mozambique This is a war supported by the foreign policies of the West Countries that continue to support South Africa give strength to the South African economy strength that is translated into soldiers anlIDunition supplies and support for the bandidosannados - the armed bandits fighting FREUMO the legal Mozambican govenunent
I could weep when President Reagan says the American support for Jonas Savimbi against the Angolan government and Americas refusal to impose sanctions on South Africa maintains the balance of power between East and West He should stand on the ground where the price is being paid and teU the mourning villagers the dying and the maimed that the world is a better place for this carnage and that the chess games ofthe big men are the real value of human life
Many other countries play sinillar ifsmaller or less direct roles with the future ofsouthern Africa The tragedy of this land is the riches and vast potent ial which attract olltside interest and cost it dearly in ternlS of human resources
James and I first heard about the Rural Development Project in August 1984 when we were working for Community Aid Abroad (CAA) in
24
Australia At that time there was optimism about Mozambique The Nkomati Peace Accord was to end South Mrkas support for the bandits in exchange for diminished support from Mozambique for the African National Congress The project was to be an integrated rural development scheme in health water and agrishyculture
But the war has not ended and it is a constant stumbling block to all aspirations and plans not to mention wearing on ones spirit Still that potential and challenge are alluring and we plod on down the developshyment road trying to build up organization and infrastructure Waiting for the day when things may normalize (After 10 years of war what is normal)
We arrived in Mozambique in April 1985 with James as project director and me as agriculturalist The health team ( a midwife and doctor ) and the community development worker arrived in late August and the water engineer in January 1986 The six of us live on the project site in a nleal district centre The official language is Portuguese and our official work is in that language However the people generally speak their own languages and so communication below the official level continues to be difficult Still they are very patient with our attempts to communicate and live in their communities
My own work is starting to become more visible Three agricultural technicians and I have organized a program of support for the fdmily sector in agriculture This is largely an education extension system that operates on three levels The first level consists of training zone representatives in practical demonshystrations ofagricultural techniques in their home area ( each zone has roughly 60 families and is represented by one man and woman chosen by their community) The zone reps are linked in training sessions and in countryside visits to the second level - an enquadradore who is basically the official link to the district agricultural system There are only five functioning enquadradores in a district of 110000 or more people so we had pound0 create the agricultural reps to make the enquadradores task possible The training program for the enquadradores is critically important because they have no agriculturaJ background but must collect and transmit agricultural information The third level is the agricultural technicians themselves These young counterparts are likely to be the directors and administrators of the future They are also the direct teaching link to the people
After months of meetings and discussions at every level of village and district structure we swung into operation with the agriculture reps
program and the horticultural crops campaign ThankfuUy some of the long-awaited tools - hoes bush knives and seeds - also arrived It is too early to know what the results might be but we are optimistic that with good rains and no bandits family sector food production will show an improvement this ftest season
James gets the thankless task of organizing logistics supplies deleshygations and the endless bookwork Often caught in the middle of our demands the reali ty of the Australian budget and the nightmare of transshyporting difficult ies he somehow remains Cltllm and diplomatic He spends three weeks in the project office in the district centre at the site and the fourth is spent in the capital Mapmo at the CAA office
Our daughter Leah makes a huge differe n ce to our lives The MozambiGms are enchanted by her James is known as the husband of the mother of the baby I am known as the mother of the baby and Leah is known by her own name throughout the area She comes out with me mornings and spends afternoons with James in the office
As always 1 necd to say morc than there is time for My hope is that this letter wi ll personalize what is happening in southern Africa so that more support will come to stop the war and the terrible sadness all around this region

OAC CO-OP PROGRAM POPULAR WITH STUDENTS AND EMPLOYERS
Co-op education is the only way to go says Janice Parker OAC 86 Her comment is reflective of the overall view held by co-op students and employers alike
The co-operative education proshygram which has been available to OAC students for the past five years formally integrates the students academic srudy with work experience in co-operating employer organishyzations Usually the student alternates four months ofsoldywith four months of work in the agricultu ral industry directly related to his or her field of study
The co-op program provided me with invaluable work experience in the food science field This experience also enabled me to get an overseas job (through an international exshychange association ) inmy field says Janice who worked as a research assistant in an alcohol company in Finland
Janice says the practical lessons learned on work tenus made classshyroom theory easier to understand She also says the co-op program gave her the benefits of increased selfshyconfidence and the ability to present herse lf well at a job interview Employment interviews generally occur on campus in the middle of the academic term preceding each work semester The interviews are comshypetitive in nature as are the salaries paid by employers which usually average S 1100-$ 1500 per month
Kenda Allen OAC 86 says the coshyop program definitely helps with finances Besides earning money you only pay for four months of your education at a time
While in the program Kenda worked terms as a fieldperson with the Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation as a horse show entry clerk with the Royal Wi nter fair and as a rural organization specialist assistant with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food She now works full-time as associate editor of the
Canadian Ay rshire Review which promotes the Ayrshire breed
My experience in the co-op program helped me obtain obtain my present job I al 0 made contacts which w ill continue to benefi t my career says Kenda
By working at a variety of jobs Kenda explains she was able to narrow down her options and fi nd the correct path to take
Kenda says she also enjoyed the break from the books every four months which allowed her to apply what she was learning
Equally Enthusiastic Employers are equally enthusiastic
about the program Paul Nelson OAC 70 MA 72 vice-preSident of manufacturing and technical services at Corporate Foods in Toronto participated in earlyplanning scssions for the co-op program He cant understand why anyone would not choose the p rogram and feels that ifit had been available when he was a student it would have been very beneficial to him
Paul says the program gives students and employers a chance to assess one another during a fXed time-frame If the students do well he says his company is committed to hiring them on a permanent basis when the opportunity arises We always tell them to keep in touch he says We have found Guelph sOldents to be eager capable and adaptable
Doug Flint OAC 85 who spent two work terms with Corporate Foods was hired permanently as a quality assurance and sanitation supervisor In his case the program came full circle when he hired Guelph co-op student Brenda Ternyik as his assistant last summer and Kelly Newell OAC 82 as his permanenr assistant recently
Doug says the program is a good method of screening for both students and employers It helped me decide what [ did and did not want to do career-wise and it set me up for a
permanent job The company in rum was hiring someone they already knew something about
Suzanne Raymond OAC 77 a research and development manager with Pillsbury Canada Ltd in Toronto says her company has hired many coshyop students as research and developshyment technicians Since product development is seasonal the four month time-frame for work terms is especially suitable for Pillsbury Students undertake short-term proshyjects where it would be uneconomical to hire full-time employees
Suzanne says Pillsbury originally got involved with the co-op program from a recruiting standpoint It gives us exposure to the students and we can test how well they work she says It also gives us exposure to I what is happening at the University in terms of research and the food industry
Suzanne says another benefit is the freshness and vitality students bring with them to the job She has found them on the whole to be very good workers
Louis Paul Ricard a manager with Cargill Ltd a grain company that services both domestic and export markets says the co-op program gives his company a good idea of the calibre of student coming out of university today The work they do is a real contribution to the company as well
Cargills first co-op student Don foster OAC 86 has been hired full shytime as a grain merchant While on work terms with CargiU he had jobs in both Ontario and Alberta Don says an advantage of the co-op program is the opportunity to live and work in different areas of the country
Cargill also hired the co -op programs first crop science graduate John Ormrod OAC 85 who now works in Saskatchewan

Etta (Birdsall) Gamham Mac 17D will celebrate her 96th birthday this summer and still maintains a keen interest in the College she graduated from many years ago
She attended Macdonald Institute from 191 5-17 receiving her diploma in ProfessionaJ Housekeeping When she moved into Maple Manor Nursing Home in Tillsonburg two years ago that diploma was one of the things she wanted to take with her says Marlene ( Pfaff) Oatman FACS 75 MA 78 Etta is Marlenes husbands great aunt Marlene teaches in the Departments of Family Studies and So iology and Anthropology and says Aunt Etta wants to know everything I cover in my courses If she doesnt quite understand she gets a book from the library and will quiz me the next time I see her based on what she has read
Etta reads the Guelph Alumnus to keep up with what is happening at the University As well as changes in courses she likes to know about changes in buildings on campus When she was a student she lived in Macdonald Hall
Etta was more adventurous than other young women of her day Born in South Middleton Township in lS91 she attended school at SS 13 in Middleton and Tillsonburg High School until 1905 She graduated from London Normal School in 1909 and at the age of IS undertook her first teaching position at SS 1 Middleton with 49 students in Grades l-S under her sole supervision She continued teaching until 1915 when she decided to return to school to study domestic science at Guelph
After graduating she amwered an advertisement in the newspaper and headed West to take a job as dietitian and housekeeper in a 200-be d teaching hospital in Regina
I never worked so hard in my life Etta says of her year at the hospital Although she enjoyed the work When the year was up I was tired out she says So she accepted a teaching position at a prairie school at Tuxford Sask She taught there
Etta (Birdsall) Gamham Mac 17D
until the flu epidemic in 1918 closed all the schools She then turned her attention to nursing the sick until she got the flu herself
She can still remember being bedshyridden at the home of a farm family when she heard the news on Novemshy
ber 11 1915 thatthe First World War had ended
Etta returned home in 1919 to teach first in St Catharines then at Mabees Corners and finally at Guysboro where she met her husband Lee the eligible young farmer who lived across the road from the school They were married in July of 1921 and enjoyed 62 years together before his death four years ago
She continued teaching afte r marriage but only when she was needed she says because farm work kept her busy then
Ive had a lovely life Etta says And although she is now confined to a wheelchair she says shes been as healthy as can be all my life
Asked if there is any secret to her longevity she quickly responds choose your grandfather wisely because you inherit your health She points out her own father lived to be 99 and her grandmother lived to be 100

MILESTONE CE EBRATION FOR OVC
With a flourish of kilts and bagshypipes OVC began celebrating its 125th birthday February 12 The COllege is the oldest veterinary school in continuous operation in North and South America
A special lecture by eminent Scotshytish scientist Dr WilJiam FH Jarrett whose work pioneered AIDS research commemorated the founding of the College and the unique contributions of the veterinary medical profession in the advancement of scientific knowledge and disease control
Dr Jarrett of the University of Glasgow Veterinary School gave a public lecture Vacdnation Against Retroviruses From FAIDS to AIDS His work on Feline Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (FAIDS) has been the basis for subsequent research into AIDS
Dr jarretts lecture took place in War Memorial Hall exactly 125 years after OVCs inaugural address was delivered in Toronto by another Scotsman founder Andrew Smith
Dr Smi th a graduate of the Edinburgh School of Veterinary Medicine was brought to Toronto by the Board of Agriculture of Upper Canada to open a veterinary practice and provide instruction He operated the school under private charter in Toronto until 1908 when it became aftlliated with the University of Toronto nle College moved to Guelph in 1922 becoming a coshyoperative neighbor for the OAC The two later joined with Macdonald Institute to become the founding Colleges of the University of Guelph in 1964
Since the issue of Dr Smiths charshyter the College has contributed substantially to the improvement of public health says OVC Dean Ole Nielsen College faculty were instrushymenta] in the development of milkshytesting programs for mastitis and were involved in the livestock vaccination and testing programs that led to the elimination of tuberculosis and brucellosis in humans and animals
In keeping with the Scottish theme Dr Dean Percy ave 57 MSc 66 a professor in the Department OfPathology piped Dr William PH Jarrett into War Memorial Hall for his special lecture February 12 Also in the procession were President Burt Matthews ave Dean Ole Nielsen specially invited ave retirees andplatform guests (Photo by Tim Sullivan)
They were pioneers in domestic ani shymal surgery and among the first veterinarians to adopt modem surgical techniques Faculty researchers also perfected techniques for the artificial insemination ofdairy cattle and swine and for freezing bull semen
Researdl efforts have continually expanded in areas of comparative medicine where human and vetershyinary medicine cross paths The College is now at the forefront of research on organ transplants and bone surgery and research is proshyceeding in other areas of potential benefit to human medicine including genetically engineered vaccines and cancer research
Each year thousands ofanimals are brought to the ColJege for study and treatment The 2000 patients treated at the large animal clinic last year included an elephant a kangaroo and a gnu Almost 8000 animals visited the small animal clinic and more than 16000 farm animals - mostly cattle
- were seen in the ambulatory clinics herd health program The Colleges wild bird clinic is the only one of its kind in Canada
OVCs department of patholOgy is the Norlh American centre for reshysearch on marine animals and the Canadian centre for diagnostic expershytise in fish pathology The College is closely affiliated with the new Guelph Centre for Equine Research
OVCs influence on the intershynational scene has been substantial Students comefrom around the world (0 study at the undergraduate gradshyuate and post-graduate levels In 1974 the College joined the Canadian international Development Agency in establishing a veterinary school in Malaysia the first in southeast Asia
Celebrations for OVCs 125th birthday will continue throughout the year A highlight onJune 19 is the official opening of the Colleges new Sl35-million large animal faCility

PROGRAM AIMS TO ATTRACT BRIGHTEST STUDENTS
By Sandra Couch Public Relations and Information
The Universitys share of the best and brightest first-year students in the physical sciences could well increase with the introduction of a challenging interdisciplinary one-year pilot project called MPC2 (for Mathematics-Physics-Chemistry-Comshyputing Science ) says Professor Ernie McFarland Physics
Professor McFarland chairman of the CPS interdiSciplinary curriculum committee says the basic introductory courses now in place were designed to serve all tbe students in classes that often reach 300 in size Very bright students the committee found were not as stimulated as they could have been
With the courses as they werewe were not attracting the quantity or quality of students we hoped in areas like physics chemistry and bioshychemistry mathematiCs statistics and computing science says Professor McFarland
The committee has designed a number of new first-year courses which require a minimum average of 80 per cent for admission The courses will combine mathematics physics chemistry and computing and are structured to foster a better appreshyciation of the inter-connections between the disCiplines says Professor McFarland The more challenging courses will also enable bright highly qualified and motivated students to choose one or two additional elective courses in their first year
Professor McFarland admits the project is a departure from the usual departmental philosophy and says the one-year trial period will allow CPS to crawl before we walk He says a successful evaluation at the end of the trial period could lead to possible joint degrees in the areas of physics and chemistry or mathematics and computing
It could well be the first stage for a number of other interdisciplinary ventures in the College beyond the
first -year level says Professor Mcfarland
Acting CPS Dean Rod Gentry says the new intensive program will likely attrlct more of the best students to Guelph because in the sciences the best stude nts are very selective consumers Theyre looking for the best program while theyre still in high school
Former CPS Dean now Vice-President AcademicjackMacDonald conceived MPCZ because he believed that the way physical sciences were
being taught was historical and antiquated He says the departmental divisions in universities are almost tribal in nature and often lead to an arbitrary and artificial division of subject matter
Professor MacDonald says MPCZ which will be offered for the first time in September is consistent with the Universitys aims and objectives and is also consistent with the learning objectives in that it takes a holistic viewpoint in the teaching and learning of the material
GLASSBLOWE RHONORED Unive rSity glassblower Anne Hostetter has been honored by the American Scientific Glassblowers Society (ASGS) in Cincinnati Ohio for her paper Quartz EPR Flat Cel The Fischer and Porter Company of Pennsylvania offers the annual Kermit-Fischer Award in recognition of the best paper presented at the previous years symposium
The paper is selected by a jury from the ASGS on the basis of content app li cat ion presentat ion style graphics use and text
A quartz EPR flat cell is a difficult piece of glassware to make Ms Hostetter says but it is useful in EPR spectroscopy because it allows the 5anlple to be pOSitioned in the densest part of the magnetic field without interfe rence from the electric component of the rad iation
Ms Hostetter has used the techshynique described in her paper sucshycessfully for eight to nine years She forms the flat sides of the cell from two pieces of quartz glass with bevelled edges When spaced proshyperly the bevelled glass forms a V into which a length ofquartz piping is fitted and melted to seal the edges The standard spacing between the two pieces of flat glass is 25 mm
although she has made cells as small as 12 mm and as large as I mm
A 25-minute educaHonal videotape about the technique described in Ms Hostetters paper is available through the ASGS

WOMEN IN SCIENCE GATHER
About 80 women gathered on campus in February to hear Dr Lynda Pinnington talk about career planning forwomen in science Dr Pinnjngton beads Pinn ington Associates of Cambridge a consulting firm that focuses on applied productivity improvement techniques for business and industry Discussants for the careers night were Brenda Bonnett OVC 79 a PhD sludent in the Department of Veterinary Micro shybiology and Immunology and Jan Kaufman Library who is on the Preshysidents Advisory Council day care task force
This was the second event planned by an informal group of women scienshytists at Guelph Professors Susan Mclver chair of the Department of Enviro nmenta l Bio logy Mary Beverley-Burton Zoology and Janet Wood Chemistry and Biochemistry have been the moving forces behind this organization which has blosshysomed into a nucleus of about a dozen women representing aU the science colleges at Guelph They say the groups purpose is to increase awareness of the role of women in science and the opportunities and obstacles they may encounter The group also encourages informal netshyworking and social contacts
Weve avoided creating a formal structure Professor McIver says Meetings are held on an irregular basis and there are no official officers
In addition to offering careers nights the group has compiled a list of women in science at Guelph using the criteria ofa degree in science and employment at the University
Questions raised by the group re shysulted in the updating of the 1975 report of the Presidents Task Force on the status of women at the ni shyversity which led to the formation of the Presidents Advisory Committee on Equal Rights for Men and Women at the University of Guelph This committee chaired by Professor McIver will release a report this spring

OAC GRADUATE WRITES FROM MOZAMBIQUE
Ruth Beilin born and raised in Guelph graduated jromjohn F Ross C VI and earned a BA and a Dipshyloma in Agriculture She worked at the University and in Saskatchewan before going to Papua New Guinea with CUSO as an agricultural extension worker There she met her husband an Australian lawyer who was working in rural development After two years in New Guinea she attended Reading University in England and received an MSc in Agriculture Extension She joinedher husband in Australia and together they apPlied to work on anAustralian government project in Mozambique This is the first ofher letters (written in the summer Of 1986) on life and development in that war-torn country Ruth can be contacted at the follOwing address CAA cP 356 Maputo Mozambique
Life in Mozambique is a series of contrasts and challenges The area where we live is a fertile coastal strip that has been cultivated for at least 50 years - some parts longer Coconut palms wave in the breeze - their languid trunks arching over the dense foliage of the cashew trees planted between their rows The latifundia system practised by the Portuguese meant that as a rule local families had less than two hectares each of usually marginal land to farm for subsistence purposltS and that generally they could not grow permanent tree crops on these family spaces Therefore the wealth from these crops remained with the colonial farmers
Today the state is just beginning a large land reform program What it will mean in real terms is difficult to assess given the huge numbers of dislocated families from the interior dry areas and more desperate war zones The theory is that these families will be able to return to their own farm lands and accumulate more land there assuming that the war and
Ruth Beilin OAC 74
these years of drought and fanline will soon be over
The Mozambicans survive on their abilities as farmers The suffering and deprivation have made them strong conservationists sensitive to their crops and soils But some of the obstacles they face are overwhelming - broken (Ools scarce seed loss of animals Everything is a struggle
Village meetings are stimulating and full of lengthy debate Storyshytelling animation dancing and singing form an important part of the culture The present govenunent has used these means (0 awaken a political consciousness among the people who tend to be passive and accept their circumstances
Our group is not radical but we are different and perhaps threatening to this passivity Mozambicans are tired from hard work long years of fighting a declining economy and many reorganizations of agricultural policy We talk about self-sufficiency (which translated means more work) We talk about development but in agricultural terms offer no pesticides (except naturally occuring ones) import no tractors or cultivators and generally seem to be less modern than the Portuguese who left ten years ago We are not just talking
about rehabilitation but a whole developmental philosophy which is distinct from the projects of other development agencies in nearby districts Although the communities we work in agree that the long-term benefits are valid they must wonder when life is going to become easier
Through all this nms the struggle in southern Africa - the link between the apartheid regime in South Africa and the war in Mozanlbique and indeed in aU the frontline states This war destabilizes the countryside and terrorizes the people rfhe longer we live here and witness this nightmare the more we realize that the end of the war will not be because of things or people in Mozambique This is a war supported by the foreign policies of the West Countries that continue to support South Africa give strength to the South African economy strength that is translated into soldiers anlIDunition supplies and support for the bandidosannados - the armed bandits fighting FREUMO the legal Mozambican govenunent
I could weep when President Reagan says the American support for Jonas Savimbi against the Angolan government and Americas refusal to impose sanctions on South Africa maintains the balance of power between East and West He should stand on the ground where the price is being paid and teU the mourning villagers the dying and the maimed that the world is a better place for this carnage and that the chess games ofthe big men are the real value of human life
Many other countries play sinillar ifsmaller or less direct roles with the future ofsouthern Africa The tragedy of this land is the riches and vast potent ial which attract olltside interest and cost it dearly in ternlS of human resources
James and I first heard about the Rural Development Project in August 1984 when we were working for Community Aid Abroad (CAA) in
24
Australia At that time there was optimism about Mozambique The Nkomati Peace Accord was to end South Mrkas support for the bandits in exchange for diminished support from Mozambique for the African National Congress The project was to be an integrated rural development scheme in health water and agrishyculture
But the war has not ended and it is a constant stumbling block to all aspirations and plans not to mention wearing on ones spirit Still that potential and challenge are alluring and we plod on down the developshyment road trying to build up organization and infrastructure Waiting for the day when things may normalize (After 10 years of war what is normal)
We arrived in Mozambique in April 1985 with James as project director and me as agriculturalist The health team ( a midwife and doctor ) and the community development worker arrived in late August and the water engineer in January 1986 The six of us live on the project site in a nleal district centre The official language is Portuguese and our official work is in that language However the people generally speak their own languages and so communication below the official level continues to be difficult Still they are very patient with our attempts to communicate and live in their communities
My own work is starting to become more visible Three agricultural technicians and I have organized a program of support for the fdmily sector in agriculture This is largely an education extension system that operates on three levels The first level consists of training zone representatives in practical demonshystrations ofagricultural techniques in their home area ( each zone has roughly 60 families and is represented by one man and woman chosen by their community) The zone reps are linked in training sessions and in countryside visits to the second level - an enquadradore who is basically the official link to the district agricultural system There are only five functioning enquadradores in a district of 110000 or more people so we had pound0 create the agricultural reps to make the enquadradores task possible The training program for the enquadradores is critically important because they have no agriculturaJ background but must collect and transmit agricultural information The third level is the agricultural technicians themselves These young counterparts are likely to be the directors and administrators of the future They are also the direct teaching link to the people
After months of meetings and discussions at every level of village and district structure we swung into operation with the agriculture reps
program and the horticultural crops campaign ThankfuUy some of the long-awaited tools - hoes bush knives and seeds - also arrived It is too early to know what the results might be but we are optimistic that with good rains and no bandits family sector food production will show an improvement this ftest season
James gets the thankless task of organizing logistics supplies deleshygations and the endless bookwork Often caught in the middle of our demands the reali ty of the Australian budget and the nightmare of transshyporting difficult ies he somehow remains Cltllm and diplomatic He spends three weeks in the project office in the district centre at the site and the fourth is spent in the capital Mapmo at the CAA office
Our daughter Leah makes a huge differe n ce to our lives The MozambiGms are enchanted by her James is known as the husband of the mother of the baby I am known as the mother of the baby and Leah is known by her own name throughout the area She comes out with me mornings and spends afternoons with James in the office
As always 1 necd to say morc than there is time for My hope is that this letter wi ll personalize what is happening in southern Africa so that more support will come to stop the war and the terrible sadness all around this region

OAC CO-OP PROGRAM POPULAR WITH STUDENTS AND EMPLOYERS
Co-op education is the only way to go says Janice Parker OAC 86 Her comment is reflective of the overall view held by co-op students and employers alike
The co-operative education proshygram which has been available to OAC students for the past five years formally integrates the students academic srudy with work experience in co-operating employer organishyzations Usually the student alternates four months ofsoldywith four months of work in the agricultu ral industry directly related to his or her field of study
The co-op program provided me with invaluable work experience in the food science field This experience also enabled me to get an overseas job (through an international exshychange association ) inmy field says Janice who worked as a research assistant in an alcohol company in Finland
Janice says the practical lessons learned on work tenus made classshyroom theory easier to understand She also says the co-op program gave her the benefits of increased selfshyconfidence and the ability to present herse lf well at a job interview Employment interviews generally occur on campus in the middle of the academic term preceding each work semester The interviews are comshypetitive in nature as are the salaries paid by employers which usually average S 1100-$ 1500 per month
Kenda Allen OAC 86 says the coshyop program definitely helps with finances Besides earning money you only pay for four months of your education at a time
While in the program Kenda worked terms as a fieldperson with the Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation as a horse show entry clerk with the Royal Wi nter fair and as a rural organization specialist assistant with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food She now works full-time as associate editor of the
Canadian Ay rshire Review which promotes the Ayrshire breed
My experience in the co-op program helped me obtain obtain my present job I al 0 made contacts which w ill continue to benefi t my career says Kenda
By working at a variety of jobs Kenda explains she was able to narrow down her options and fi nd the correct path to take
Kenda says she also enjoyed the break from the books every four months which allowed her to apply what she was learning
Equally Enthusiastic Employers are equally enthusiastic
about the program Paul Nelson OAC 70 MA 72 vice-preSident of manufacturing and technical services at Corporate Foods in Toronto participated in earlyplanning scssions for the co-op program He cant understand why anyone would not choose the p rogram and feels that ifit had been available when he was a student it would have been very beneficial to him
Paul says the program gives students and employers a chance to assess one another during a fXed time-frame If the students do well he says his company is committed to hiring them on a permanent basis when the opportunity arises We always tell them to keep in touch he says We have found Guelph sOldents to be eager capable and adaptable
Doug Flint OAC 85 who spent two work terms with Corporate Foods was hired permanently as a quality assurance and sanitation supervisor In his case the program came full circle when he hired Guelph co-op student Brenda Ternyik as his assistant last summer and Kelly Newell OAC 82 as his permanenr assistant recently
Doug says the program is a good method of screening for both students and employers It helped me decide what [ did and did not want to do career-wise and it set me up for a
permanent job The company in rum was hiring someone they already knew something about
Suzanne Raymond OAC 77 a research and development manager with Pillsbury Canada Ltd in Toronto says her company has hired many coshyop students as research and developshyment technicians Since product development is seasonal the four month time-frame for work terms is especially suitable for Pillsbury Students undertake short-term proshyjects where it would be uneconomical to hire full-time employees
Suzanne says Pillsbury originally got involved with the co-op program from a recruiting standpoint It gives us exposure to the students and we can test how well they work she says It also gives us exposure to I what is happening at the University in terms of research and the food industry
Suzanne says another benefit is the freshness and vitality students bring with them to the job She has found them on the whole to be very good workers
Louis Paul Ricard a manager with Cargill Ltd a grain company that services both domestic and export markets says the co-op program gives his company a good idea of the calibre of student coming out of university today The work they do is a real contribution to the company as well
Cargills first co-op student Don foster OAC 86 has been hired full shytime as a grain merchant While on work terms with CargiU he had jobs in both Ontario and Alberta Don says an advantage of the co-op program is the opportunity to live and work in different areas of the country
Cargill also hired the co -op programs first crop science graduate John Ormrod OAC 85 who now works in Saskatchewan

Etta (Birdsall) Gamham Mac 17D will celebrate her 96th birthday this summer and still maintains a keen interest in the College she graduated from many years ago
She attended Macdonald Institute from 191 5-17 receiving her diploma in ProfessionaJ Housekeeping When she moved into Maple Manor Nursing Home in Tillsonburg two years ago that diploma was one of the things she wanted to take with her says Marlene ( Pfaff) Oatman FACS 75 MA 78 Etta is Marlenes husbands great aunt Marlene teaches in the Departments of Family Studies and So iology and Anthropology and says Aunt Etta wants to know everything I cover in my courses If she doesnt quite understand she gets a book from the library and will quiz me the next time I see her based on what she has read
Etta reads the Guelph Alumnus to keep up with what is happening at the University As well as changes in courses she likes to know about changes in buildings on campus When she was a student she lived in Macdonald Hall
Etta was more adventurous than other young women of her day Born in South Middleton Township in lS91 she attended school at SS 13 in Middleton and Tillsonburg High School until 1905 She graduated from London Normal School in 1909 and at the age of IS undertook her first teaching position at SS 1 Middleton with 49 students in Grades l-S under her sole supervision She continued teaching until 1915 when she decided to return to school to study domestic science at Guelph
After graduating she amwered an advertisement in the newspaper and headed West to take a job as dietitian and housekeeper in a 200-be d teaching hospital in Regina
I never worked so hard in my life Etta says of her year at the hospital Although she enjoyed the work When the year was up I was tired out she says So she accepted a teaching position at a prairie school at Tuxford Sask She taught there
Etta (Birdsall) Gamham Mac 17D
until the flu epidemic in 1918 closed all the schools She then turned her attention to nursing the sick until she got the flu herself
She can still remember being bedshyridden at the home of a farm family when she heard the news on Novemshy
ber 11 1915 thatthe First World War had ended
Etta returned home in 1919 to teach first in St Catharines then at Mabees Corners and finally at Guysboro where she met her husband Lee the eligible young farmer who lived across the road from the school They were married in July of 1921 and enjoyed 62 years together before his death four years ago
She continued teaching afte r marriage but only when she was needed she says because farm work kept her busy then
Ive had a lovely life Etta says And although she is now confined to a wheelchair she says shes been as healthy as can be all my life
Asked if there is any secret to her longevity she quickly responds choose your grandfather wisely because you inherit your health She points out her own father lived to be 99 and her grandmother lived to be 100

MILESTONE CE EBRATION FOR OVC
With a flourish of kilts and bagshypipes OVC began celebrating its 125th birthday February 12 The COllege is the oldest veterinary school in continuous operation in North and South America
A special lecture by eminent Scotshytish scientist Dr WilJiam FH Jarrett whose work pioneered AIDS research commemorated the founding of the College and the unique contributions of the veterinary medical profession in the advancement of scientific knowledge and disease control
Dr Jarrett of the University of Glasgow Veterinary School gave a public lecture Vacdnation Against Retroviruses From FAIDS to AIDS His work on Feline Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (FAIDS) has been the basis for subsequent research into AIDS
Dr jarretts lecture took place in War Memorial Hall exactly 125 years after OVCs inaugural address was delivered in Toronto by another Scotsman founder Andrew Smith
Dr Smi th a graduate of the Edinburgh School of Veterinary Medicine was brought to Toronto by the Board of Agriculture of Upper Canada to open a veterinary practice and provide instruction He operated the school under private charter in Toronto until 1908 when it became aftlliated with the University of Toronto nle College moved to Guelph in 1922 becoming a coshyoperative neighbor for the OAC The two later joined with Macdonald Institute to become the founding Colleges of the University of Guelph in 1964
Since the issue of Dr Smiths charshyter the College has contributed substantially to the improvement of public health says OVC Dean Ole Nielsen College faculty were instrushymenta] in the development of milkshytesting programs for mastitis and were involved in the livestock vaccination and testing programs that led to the elimination of tuberculosis and brucellosis in humans and animals
In keeping with the Scottish theme Dr Dean Percy ave 57 MSc 66 a professor in the Department OfPathology piped Dr William PH Jarrett into War Memorial Hall for his special lecture February 12 Also in the procession were President Burt Matthews ave Dean Ole Nielsen specially invited ave retirees andplatform guests (Photo by Tim Sullivan)
They were pioneers in domestic ani shymal surgery and among the first veterinarians to adopt modem surgical techniques Faculty researchers also perfected techniques for the artificial insemination ofdairy cattle and swine and for freezing bull semen
Researdl efforts have continually expanded in areas of comparative medicine where human and vetershyinary medicine cross paths The College is now at the forefront of research on organ transplants and bone surgery and research is proshyceeding in other areas of potential benefit to human medicine including genetically engineered vaccines and cancer research
Each year thousands ofanimals are brought to the ColJege for study and treatment The 2000 patients treated at the large animal clinic last year included an elephant a kangaroo and a gnu Almost 8000 animals visited the small animal clinic and more than 16000 farm animals - mostly cattle
- were seen in the ambulatory clinics herd health program The Colleges wild bird clinic is the only one of its kind in Canada
OVCs department of patholOgy is the Norlh American centre for reshysearch on marine animals and the Canadian centre for diagnostic expershytise in fish pathology The College is closely affiliated with the new Guelph Centre for Equine Research
OVCs influence on the intershynational scene has been substantial Students comefrom around the world (0 study at the undergraduate gradshyuate and post-graduate levels In 1974 the College joined the Canadian international Development Agency in establishing a veterinary school in Malaysia the first in southeast Asia
Celebrations for OVCs 125th birthday will continue throughout the year A highlight onJune 19 is the official opening of the Colleges new Sl35-million large animal faCility

PROGRAM AIMS TO ATTRACT BRIGHTEST STUDENTS
By Sandra Couch Public Relations and Information
The Universitys share of the best and brightest first-year students in the physical sciences could well increase with the introduction of a challenging interdisciplinary one-year pilot project called MPC2 (for Mathematics-Physics-Chemistry-Comshyputing Science ) says Professor Ernie McFarland Physics
Professor McFarland chairman of the CPS interdiSciplinary curriculum committee says the basic introductory courses now in place were designed to serve all tbe students in classes that often reach 300 in size Very bright students the committee found were not as stimulated as they could have been
With the courses as they werewe were not attracting the quantity or quality of students we hoped in areas like physics chemistry and bioshychemistry mathematiCs statistics and computing science says Professor McFarland
The committee has designed a number of new first-year courses which require a minimum average of 80 per cent for admission The courses will combine mathematics physics chemistry and computing and are structured to foster a better appreshyciation of the inter-connections between the disCiplines says Professor McFarland The more challenging courses will also enable bright highly qualified and motivated students to choose one or two additional elective courses in their first year
Professor McFarland admits the project is a departure from the usual departmental philosophy and says the one-year trial period will allow CPS to crawl before we walk He says a successful evaluation at the end of the trial period could lead to possible joint degrees in the areas of physics and chemistry or mathematics and computing
It could well be the first stage for a number of other interdisciplinary ventures in the College beyond the
first -year level says Professor Mcfarland
Acting CPS Dean Rod Gentry says the new intensive program will likely attrlct more of the best students to Guelph because in the sciences the best stude nts are very selective consumers Theyre looking for the best program while theyre still in high school
Former CPS Dean now Vice-President AcademicjackMacDonald conceived MPCZ because he believed that the way physical sciences were
being taught was historical and antiquated He says the departmental divisions in universities are almost tribal in nature and often lead to an arbitrary and artificial division of subject matter
Professor MacDonald says MPCZ which will be offered for the first time in September is consistent with the Universitys aims and objectives and is also consistent with the learning objectives in that it takes a holistic viewpoint in the teaching and learning of the material
GLASSBLOWE RHONORED Unive rSity glassblower Anne Hostetter has been honored by the American Scientific Glassblowers Society (ASGS) in Cincinnati Ohio for her paper Quartz EPR Flat Cel The Fischer and Porter Company of Pennsylvania offers the annual Kermit-Fischer Award in recognition of the best paper presented at the previous years symposium
The paper is selected by a jury from the ASGS on the basis of content app li cat ion presentat ion style graphics use and text
A quartz EPR flat cell is a difficult piece of glassware to make Ms Hostetter says but it is useful in EPR spectroscopy because it allows the 5anlple to be pOSitioned in the densest part of the magnetic field without interfe rence from the electric component of the rad iation
Ms Hostetter has used the techshynique described in her paper sucshycessfully for eight to nine years She forms the flat sides of the cell from two pieces of quartz glass with bevelled edges When spaced proshyperly the bevelled glass forms a V into which a length ofquartz piping is fitted and melted to seal the edges The standard spacing between the two pieces of flat glass is 25 mm
although she has made cells as small as 12 mm and as large as I mm
A 25-minute educaHonal videotape about the technique described in Ms Hostetters paper is available through the ASGS

WOMEN IN SCIENCE GATHER
About 80 women gathered on campus in February to hear Dr Lynda Pinnington talk about career planning forwomen in science Dr Pinnjngton beads Pinn ington Associates of Cambridge a consulting firm that focuses on applied productivity improvement techniques for business and industry Discussants for the careers night were Brenda Bonnett OVC 79 a PhD sludent in the Department of Veterinary Micro shybiology and Immunology and Jan Kaufman Library who is on the Preshysidents Advisory Council day care task force
This was the second event planned by an informal group of women scienshytists at Guelph Professors Susan Mclver chair of the Department of Enviro nmenta l Bio logy Mary Beverley-Burton Zoology and Janet Wood Chemistry and Biochemistry have been the moving forces behind this organization which has blosshysomed into a nucleus of about a dozen women representing aU the science colleges at Guelph They say the groups purpose is to increase awareness of the role of women in science and the opportunities and obstacles they may encounter The group also encourages informal netshyworking and social contacts
Weve avoided creating a formal structure Professor McIver says Meetings are held on an irregular basis and there are no official officers
In addition to offering careers nights the group has compiled a list of women in science at Guelph using the criteria ofa degree in science and employment at the University
Questions raised by the group re shysulted in the updating of the 1975 report of the Presidents Task Force on the status of women at the ni shyversity which led to the formation of the Presidents Advisory Committee on Equal Rights for Men and Women at the University of Guelph This committee chaired by Professor McIver will release a report this spring

OAC GRADUATE WRITES FROM MOZAMBIQUE
Ruth Beilin born and raised in Guelph graduated jromjohn F Ross C VI and earned a BA and a Dipshyloma in Agriculture She worked at the University and in Saskatchewan before going to Papua New Guinea with CUSO as an agricultural extension worker There she met her husband an Australian lawyer who was working in rural development After two years in New Guinea she attended Reading University in England and received an MSc in Agriculture Extension She joinedher husband in Australia and together they apPlied to work on anAustralian government project in Mozambique This is the first ofher letters (written in the summer Of 1986) on life and development in that war-torn country Ruth can be contacted at the follOwing address CAA cP 356 Maputo Mozambique
Life in Mozambique is a series of contrasts and challenges The area where we live is a fertile coastal strip that has been cultivated for at least 50 years - some parts longer Coconut palms wave in the breeze - their languid trunks arching over the dense foliage of the cashew trees planted between their rows The latifundia system practised by the Portuguese meant that as a rule local families had less than two hectares each of usually marginal land to farm for subsistence purposltS and that generally they could not grow permanent tree crops on these family spaces Therefore the wealth from these crops remained with the colonial farmers
Today the state is just beginning a large land reform program What it will mean in real terms is difficult to assess given the huge numbers of dislocated families from the interior dry areas and more desperate war zones The theory is that these families will be able to return to their own farm lands and accumulate more land there assuming that the war and
Ruth Beilin OAC 74
these years of drought and fanline will soon be over
The Mozambicans survive on their abilities as farmers The suffering and deprivation have made them strong conservationists sensitive to their crops and soils But some of the obstacles they face are overwhelming - broken (Ools scarce seed loss of animals Everything is a struggle
Village meetings are stimulating and full of lengthy debate Storyshytelling animation dancing and singing form an important part of the culture The present govenunent has used these means (0 awaken a political consciousness among the people who tend to be passive and accept their circumstances
Our group is not radical but we are different and perhaps threatening to this passivity Mozambicans are tired from hard work long years of fighting a declining economy and many reorganizations of agricultural policy We talk about self-sufficiency (which translated means more work) We talk about development but in agricultural terms offer no pesticides (except naturally occuring ones) import no tractors or cultivators and generally seem to be less modern than the Portuguese who left ten years ago We are not just talking
about rehabilitation but a whole developmental philosophy which is distinct from the projects of other development agencies in nearby districts Although the communities we work in agree that the long-term benefits are valid they must wonder when life is going to become easier
Through all this nms the struggle in southern Africa - the link between the apartheid regime in South Africa and the war in Mozanlbique and indeed in aU the frontline states This war destabilizes the countryside and terrorizes the people rfhe longer we live here and witness this nightmare the more we realize that the end of the war will not be because of things or people in Mozambique This is a war supported by the foreign policies of the West Countries that continue to support South Africa give strength to the South African economy strength that is translated into soldiers anlIDunition supplies and support for the bandidosannados - the armed bandits fighting FREUMO the legal Mozambican govenunent
I could weep when President Reagan says the American support for Jonas Savimbi against the Angolan government and Americas refusal to impose sanctions on South Africa maintains the balance of power between East and West He should stand on the ground where the price is being paid and teU the mourning villagers the dying and the maimed that the world is a better place for this carnage and that the chess games ofthe big men are the real value of human life
Many other countries play sinillar ifsmaller or less direct roles with the future ofsouthern Africa The tragedy of this land is the riches and vast potent ial which attract olltside interest and cost it dearly in ternlS of human resources
James and I first heard about the Rural Development Project in August 1984 when we were working for Community Aid Abroad (CAA) in
24
Australia At that time there was optimism about Mozambique The Nkomati Peace Accord was to end South Mrkas support for the bandits in exchange for diminished support from Mozambique for the African National Congress The project was to be an integrated rural development scheme in health water and agrishyculture
But the war has not ended and it is a constant stumbling block to all aspirations and plans not to mention wearing on ones spirit Still that potential and challenge are alluring and we plod on down the developshyment road trying to build up organization and infrastructure Waiting for the day when things may normalize (After 10 years of war what is normal)
We arrived in Mozambique in April 1985 with James as project director and me as agriculturalist The health team ( a midwife and doctor ) and the community development worker arrived in late August and the water engineer in January 1986 The six of us live on the project site in a nleal district centre The official language is Portuguese and our official work is in that language However the people generally speak their own languages and so communication below the official level continues to be difficult Still they are very patient with our attempts to communicate and live in their communities
My own work is starting to become more visible Three agricultural technicians and I have organized a program of support for the fdmily sector in agriculture This is largely an education extension system that operates on three levels The first level consists of training zone representatives in practical demonshystrations ofagricultural techniques in their home area ( each zone has roughly 60 families and is represented by one man and woman chosen by their community) The zone reps are linked in training sessions and in countryside visits to the second level - an enquadradore who is basically the official link to the district agricultural system There are only five functioning enquadradores in a district of 110000 or more people so we had pound0 create the agricultural reps to make the enquadradores task possible The training program for the enquadradores is critically important because they have no agriculturaJ background but must collect and transmit agricultural information The third level is the agricultural technicians themselves These young counterparts are likely to be the directors and administrators of the future They are also the direct teaching link to the people
After months of meetings and discussions at every level of village and district structure we swung into operation with the agriculture reps
program and the horticultural crops campaign ThankfuUy some of the long-awaited tools - hoes bush knives and seeds - also arrived It is too early to know what the results might be but we are optimistic that with good rains and no bandits family sector food production will show an improvement this ftest season
James gets the thankless task of organizing logistics supplies deleshygations and the endless bookwork Often caught in the middle of our demands the reali ty of the Australian budget and the nightmare of transshyporting difficult ies he somehow remains Cltllm and diplomatic He spends three weeks in the project office in the district centre at the site and the fourth is spent in the capital Mapmo at the CAA office
Our daughter Leah makes a huge differe n ce to our lives The MozambiGms are enchanted by her James is known as the husband of the mother of the baby I am known as the mother of the baby and Leah is known by her own name throughout the area She comes out with me mornings and spends afternoons with James in the office
As always 1 necd to say morc than there is time for My hope is that this letter wi ll personalize what is happening in southern Africa so that more support will come to stop the war and the terrible sadness all around this region

OAC CO-OP PROGRAM POPULAR WITH STUDENTS AND EMPLOYERS
Co-op education is the only way to go says Janice Parker OAC 86 Her comment is reflective of the overall view held by co-op students and employers alike
The co-operative education proshygram which has been available to OAC students for the past five years formally integrates the students academic srudy with work experience in co-operating employer organishyzations Usually the student alternates four months ofsoldywith four months of work in the agricultu ral industry directly related to his or her field of study
The co-op program provided me with invaluable work experience in the food science field This experience also enabled me to get an overseas job (through an international exshychange association ) inmy field says Janice who worked as a research assistant in an alcohol company in Finland
Janice says the practical lessons learned on work tenus made classshyroom theory easier to understand She also says the co-op program gave her the benefits of increased selfshyconfidence and the ability to present herse lf well at a job interview Employment interviews generally occur on campus in the middle of the academic term preceding each work semester The interviews are comshypetitive in nature as are the salaries paid by employers which usually average S 1100-$ 1500 per month
Kenda Allen OAC 86 says the coshyop program definitely helps with finances Besides earning money you only pay for four months of your education at a time
While in the program Kenda worked terms as a fieldperson with the Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation as a horse show entry clerk with the Royal Wi nter fair and as a rural organization specialist assistant with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food She now works full-time as associate editor of the
Canadian Ay rshire Review which promotes the Ayrshire breed
My experience in the co-op program helped me obtain obtain my present job I al 0 made contacts which w ill continue to benefi t my career says Kenda
By working at a variety of jobs Kenda explains she was able to narrow down her options and fi nd the correct path to take
Kenda says she also enjoyed the break from the books every four months which allowed her to apply what she was learning
Equally Enthusiastic Employers are equally enthusiastic
about the program Paul Nelson OAC 70 MA 72 vice-preSident of manufacturing and technical services at Corporate Foods in Toronto participated in earlyplanning scssions for the co-op program He cant understand why anyone would not choose the p rogram and feels that ifit had been available when he was a student it would have been very beneficial to him
Paul says the program gives students and employers a chance to assess one another during a fXed time-frame If the students do well he says his company is committed to hiring them on a permanent basis when the opportunity arises We always tell them to keep in touch he says We have found Guelph sOldents to be eager capable and adaptable
Doug Flint OAC 85 who spent two work terms with Corporate Foods was hired permanently as a quality assurance and sanitation supervisor In his case the program came full circle when he hired Guelph co-op student Brenda Ternyik as his assistant last summer and Kelly Newell OAC 82 as his permanenr assistant recently
Doug says the program is a good method of screening for both students and employers It helped me decide what [ did and did not want to do career-wise and it set me up for a
permanent job The company in rum was hiring someone they already knew something about
Suzanne Raymond OAC 77 a research and development manager with Pillsbury Canada Ltd in Toronto says her company has hired many coshyop students as research and developshyment technicians Since product development is seasonal the four month time-frame for work terms is especially suitable for Pillsbury Students undertake short-term proshyjects where it would be uneconomical to hire full-time employees
Suzanne says Pillsbury originally got involved with the co-op program from a recruiting standpoint It gives us exposure to the students and we can test how well they work she says It also gives us exposure to I what is happening at the University in terms of research and the food industry
Suzanne says another benefit is the freshness and vitality students bring with them to the job She has found them on the whole to be very good workers
Louis Paul Ricard a manager with Cargill Ltd a grain company that services both domestic and export markets says the co-op program gives his company a good idea of the calibre of student coming out of university today The work they do is a real contribution to the company as well
Cargills first co-op student Don foster OAC 86 has been hired full shytime as a grain merchant While on work terms with CargiU he had jobs in both Ontario and Alberta Don says an advantage of the co-op program is the opportunity to live and work in different areas of the country
Cargill also hired the co -op programs first crop science graduate John Ormrod OAC 85 who now works in Saskatchewan

MILESTONE CE EBRATION FOR OVC
With a flourish of kilts and bagshypipes OVC began celebrating its 125th birthday February 12 The COllege is the oldest veterinary school in continuous operation in North and South America
A special lecture by eminent Scotshytish scientist Dr WilJiam FH Jarrett whose work pioneered AIDS research commemorated the founding of the College and the unique contributions of the veterinary medical profession in the advancement of scientific knowledge and disease control
Dr Jarrett of the University of Glasgow Veterinary School gave a public lecture Vacdnation Against Retroviruses From FAIDS to AIDS His work on Feline Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (FAIDS) has been the basis for subsequent research into AIDS
Dr jarretts lecture took place in War Memorial Hall exactly 125 years after OVCs inaugural address was delivered in Toronto by another Scotsman founder Andrew Smith
Dr Smi th a graduate of the Edinburgh School of Veterinary Medicine was brought to Toronto by the Board of Agriculture of Upper Canada to open a veterinary practice and provide instruction He operated the school under private charter in Toronto until 1908 when it became aftlliated with the University of Toronto nle College moved to Guelph in 1922 becoming a coshyoperative neighbor for the OAC The two later joined with Macdonald Institute to become the founding Colleges of the University of Guelph in 1964
Since the issue of Dr Smiths charshyter the College has contributed substantially to the improvement of public health says OVC Dean Ole Nielsen College faculty were instrushymenta] in the development of milkshytesting programs for mastitis and were involved in the livestock vaccination and testing programs that led to the elimination of tuberculosis and brucellosis in humans and animals
In keeping with the Scottish theme Dr Dean Percy ave 57 MSc 66 a professor in the Department OfPathology piped Dr William PH Jarrett into War Memorial Hall for his special lecture February 12 Also in the procession were President Burt Matthews ave Dean Ole Nielsen specially invited ave retirees andplatform guests (Photo by Tim Sullivan)
They were pioneers in domestic ani shymal surgery and among the first veterinarians to adopt modem surgical techniques Faculty researchers also perfected techniques for the artificial insemination ofdairy cattle and swine and for freezing bull semen
Researdl efforts have continually expanded in areas of comparative medicine where human and vetershyinary medicine cross paths The College is now at the forefront of research on organ transplants and bone surgery and research is proshyceeding in other areas of potential benefit to human medicine including genetically engineered vaccines and cancer research
Each year thousands ofanimals are brought to the ColJege for study and treatment The 2000 patients treated at the large animal clinic last year included an elephant a kangaroo and a gnu Almost 8000 animals visited the small animal clinic and more than 16000 farm animals - mostly cattle
- were seen in the ambulatory clinics herd health program The Colleges wild bird clinic is the only one of its kind in Canada
OVCs department of patholOgy is the Norlh American centre for reshysearch on marine animals and the Canadian centre for diagnostic expershytise in fish pathology The College is closely affiliated with the new Guelph Centre for Equine Research
OVCs influence on the intershynational scene has been substantial Students comefrom around the world (0 study at the undergraduate gradshyuate and post-graduate levels In 1974 the College joined the Canadian international Development Agency in establishing a veterinary school in Malaysia the first in southeast Asia
Celebrations for OVCs 125th birthday will continue throughout the year A highlight onJune 19 is the official opening of the Colleges new Sl35-million large animal faCility

PROGRAM AIMS TO ATTRACT BRIGHTEST STUDENTS
By Sandra Couch Public Relations and Information
The Universitys share of the best and brightest first-year students in the physical sciences could well increase with the introduction of a challenging interdisciplinary one-year pilot project called MPC2 (for Mathematics-Physics-Chemistry-Comshyputing Science ) says Professor Ernie McFarland Physics
Professor McFarland chairman of the CPS interdiSciplinary curriculum committee says the basic introductory courses now in place were designed to serve all tbe students in classes that often reach 300 in size Very bright students the committee found were not as stimulated as they could have been
With the courses as they werewe were not attracting the quantity or quality of students we hoped in areas like physics chemistry and bioshychemistry mathematiCs statistics and computing science says Professor McFarland
The committee has designed a number of new first-year courses which require a minimum average of 80 per cent for admission The courses will combine mathematics physics chemistry and computing and are structured to foster a better appreshyciation of the inter-connections between the disCiplines says Professor McFarland The more challenging courses will also enable bright highly qualified and motivated students to choose one or two additional elective courses in their first year
Professor McFarland admits the project is a departure from the usual departmental philosophy and says the one-year trial period will allow CPS to crawl before we walk He says a successful evaluation at the end of the trial period could lead to possible joint degrees in the areas of physics and chemistry or mathematics and computing
It could well be the first stage for a number of other interdisciplinary ventures in the College beyond the
first -year level says Professor Mcfarland
Acting CPS Dean Rod Gentry says the new intensive program will likely attrlct more of the best students to Guelph because in the sciences the best stude nts are very selective consumers Theyre looking for the best program while theyre still in high school
Former CPS Dean now Vice-President AcademicjackMacDonald conceived MPCZ because he believed that the way physical sciences were
being taught was historical and antiquated He says the departmental divisions in universities are almost tribal in nature and often lead to an arbitrary and artificial division of subject matter
Professor MacDonald says MPCZ which will be offered for the first time in September is consistent with the Universitys aims and objectives and is also consistent with the learning objectives in that it takes a holistic viewpoint in the teaching and learning of the material
GLASSBLOWE RHONORED Unive rSity glassblower Anne Hostetter has been honored by the American Scientific Glassblowers Society (ASGS) in Cincinnati Ohio for her paper Quartz EPR Flat Cel The Fischer and Porter Company of Pennsylvania offers the annual Kermit-Fischer Award in recognition of the best paper presented at the previous years symposium
The paper is selected by a jury from the ASGS on the basis of content app li cat ion presentat ion style graphics use and text
A quartz EPR flat cell is a difficult piece of glassware to make Ms Hostetter says but it is useful in EPR spectroscopy because it allows the 5anlple to be pOSitioned in the densest part of the magnetic field without interfe rence from the electric component of the rad iation
Ms Hostetter has used the techshynique described in her paper sucshycessfully for eight to nine years She forms the flat sides of the cell from two pieces of quartz glass with bevelled edges When spaced proshyperly the bevelled glass forms a V into which a length ofquartz piping is fitted and melted to seal the edges The standard spacing between the two pieces of flat glass is 25 mm
although she has made cells as small as 12 mm and as large as I mm
A 25-minute educaHonal videotape about the technique described in Ms Hostetters paper is available through the ASGS

WOMEN IN SCIENCE GATHER
About 80 women gathered on campus in February to hear Dr Lynda Pinnington talk about career planning forwomen in science Dr Pinnjngton beads Pinn ington Associates of Cambridge a consulting firm that focuses on applied productivity improvement techniques for business and industry Discussants for the careers night were Brenda Bonnett OVC 79 a PhD sludent in the Department of Veterinary Micro shybiology and Immunology and Jan Kaufman Library who is on the Preshysidents Advisory Council day care task force
This was the second event planned by an informal group of women scienshytists at Guelph Professors Susan Mclver chair of the Department of Enviro nmenta l Bio logy Mary Beverley-Burton Zoology and Janet Wood Chemistry and Biochemistry have been the moving forces behind this organization which has blosshysomed into a nucleus of about a dozen women representing aU the science colleges at Guelph They say the groups purpose is to increase awareness of the role of women in science and the opportunities and obstacles they may encounter The group also encourages informal netshyworking and social contacts
Weve avoided creating a formal structure Professor McIver says Meetings are held on an irregular basis and there are no official officers
In addition to offering careers nights the group has compiled a list of women in science at Guelph using the criteria ofa degree in science and employment at the University
Questions raised by the group re shysulted in the updating of the 1975 report of the Presidents Task Force on the status of women at the ni shyversity which led to the formation of the Presidents Advisory Committee on Equal Rights for Men and Women at the University of Guelph This committee chaired by Professor McIver will release a report this spring

FORSTER FELLOWSHIPS AWARDED The 1987 Forster Fellowships have been awarded to two CBS faculty members
Professor Terry Beveridge Depart shyment of Microbiology will use the fellowship to help develop new techshyni ques to study bacter ial ultra shystmcture and to travel to Europe in June to work with Professor we Sleytr in Vienna Austria and Professor Edward Ke llenberger in Basel Switzerland Professor Sleytrs area of expertise is ultrastructure of bacteria I surfaces and Professor Kellenbergers is new techniques in electron micro shyscopy
Professor Terry Graham School of
Human Biology will use the fcllowship to continue his study of human muscle metabolism and its response to cold stress and exercise This month he travels to Copenhagen to work with three researchers at the August Krogh Institute - Dr Bengt Saltin a spe shycialist in cardiovascular and muscle physiology Dr Bodil Nielsen who works in themlo-regulation and Dr Erik Richter a specialist in carbo shyhydrate metabolism

OAC GRADUATE WRITES FROM MOZAMBIQUE
Ruth Beilin born and raised in Guelph graduated jromjohn F Ross C VI and earned a BA and a Dipshyloma in Agriculture She worked at the University and in Saskatchewan before going to Papua New Guinea with CUSO as an agricultural extension worker There she met her husband an Australian lawyer who was working in rural development After two years in New Guinea she attended Reading University in England and received an MSc in Agriculture Extension She joinedher husband in Australia and together they apPlied to work on anAustralian government project in Mozambique This is the first ofher letters (written in the summer Of 1986) on life and development in that war-torn country Ruth can be contacted at the follOwing address CAA cP 356 Maputo Mozambique
Life in Mozambique is a series of contrasts and challenges The area where we live is a fertile coastal strip that has been cultivated for at least 50 years - some parts longer Coconut palms wave in the breeze - their languid trunks arching over the dense foliage of the cashew trees planted between their rows The latifundia system practised by the Portuguese meant that as a rule local families had less than two hectares each of usually marginal land to farm for subsistence purposltS and that generally they could not grow permanent tree crops on these family spaces Therefore the wealth from these crops remained with the colonial farmers
Today the state is just beginning a large land reform program What it will mean in real terms is difficult to assess given the huge numbers of dislocated families from the interior dry areas and more desperate war zones The theory is that these families will be able to return to their own farm lands and accumulate more land there assuming that the war and
Ruth Beilin OAC 74
these years of drought and fanline will soon be over
The Mozambicans survive on their abilities as farmers The suffering and deprivation have made them strong conservationists sensitive to their crops and soils But some of the obstacles they face are overwhelming - broken (Ools scarce seed loss of animals Everything is a struggle
Village meetings are stimulating and full of lengthy debate Storyshytelling animation dancing and singing form an important part of the culture The present govenunent has used these means (0 awaken a political consciousness among the people who tend to be passive and accept their circumstances
Our group is not radical but we are different and perhaps threatening to this passivity Mozambicans are tired from hard work long years of fighting a declining economy and many reorganizations of agricultural policy We talk about self-sufficiency (which translated means more work) We talk about development but in agricultural terms offer no pesticides (except naturally occuring ones) import no tractors or cultivators and generally seem to be less modern than the Portuguese who left ten years ago We are not just talking
about rehabilitation but a whole developmental philosophy which is distinct from the projects of other development agencies in nearby districts Although the communities we work in agree that the long-term benefits are valid they must wonder when life is going to become easier
Through all this nms the struggle in southern Africa - the link between the apartheid regime in South Africa and the war in Mozanlbique and indeed in aU the frontline states This war destabilizes the countryside and terrorizes the people rfhe longer we live here and witness this nightmare the more we realize that the end of the war will not be because of things or people in Mozambique This is a war supported by the foreign policies of the West Countries that continue to support South Africa give strength to the South African economy strength that is translated into soldiers anlIDunition supplies and support for the bandidosannados - the armed bandits fighting FREUMO the legal Mozambican govenunent
I could weep when President Reagan says the American support for Jonas Savimbi against the Angolan government and Americas refusal to impose sanctions on South Africa maintains the balance of power between East and West He should stand on the ground where the price is being paid and teU the mourning villagers the dying and the maimed that the world is a better place for this carnage and that the chess games ofthe big men are the real value of human life
Many other countries play sinillar ifsmaller or less direct roles with the future ofsouthern Africa The tragedy of this land is the riches and vast potent ial which attract olltside interest and cost it dearly in ternlS of human resources
James and I first heard about the Rural Development Project in August 1984 when we were working for Community Aid Abroad (CAA) in
24
Australia At that time there was optimism about Mozambique The Nkomati Peace Accord was to end South Mrkas support for the bandits in exchange for diminished support from Mozambique for the African National Congress The project was to be an integrated rural development scheme in health water and agrishyculture
But the war has not ended and it is a constant stumbling block to all aspirations and plans not to mention wearing on ones spirit Still that potential and challenge are alluring and we plod on down the developshyment road trying to build up organization and infrastructure Waiting for the day when things may normalize (After 10 years of war what is normal)
We arrived in Mozambique in April 1985 with James as project director and me as agriculturalist The health team ( a midwife and doctor ) and the community development worker arrived in late August and the water engineer in January 1986 The six of us live on the project site in a nleal district centre The official language is Portuguese and our official work is in that language However the people generally speak their own languages and so communication below the official level continues to be difficult Still they are very patient with our attempts to communicate and live in their communities
My own work is starting to become more visible Three agricultural technicians and I have organized a program of support for the fdmily sector in agriculture This is largely an education extension system that operates on three levels The first level consists of training zone representatives in practical demonshystrations ofagricultural techniques in their home area ( each zone has roughly 60 families and is represented by one man and woman chosen by their community) The zone reps are linked in training sessions and in countryside visits to the second level - an enquadradore who is basically the official link to the district agricultural system There are only five functioning enquadradores in a district of 110000 or more people so we had pound0 create the agricultural reps to make the enquadradores task possible The training program for the enquadradores is critically important because they have no agriculturaJ background but must collect and transmit agricultural information The third level is the agricultural technicians themselves These young counterparts are likely to be the directors and administrators of the future They are also the direct teaching link to the people
After months of meetings and discussions at every level of village and district structure we swung into operation with the agriculture reps
program and the horticultural crops campaign ThankfuUy some of the long-awaited tools - hoes bush knives and seeds - also arrived It is too early to know what the results might be but we are optimistic that with good rains and no bandits family sector food production will show an improvement this ftest season
James gets the thankless task of organizing logistics supplies deleshygations and the endless bookwork Often caught in the middle of our demands the reali ty of the Australian budget and the nightmare of transshyporting difficult ies he somehow remains Cltllm and diplomatic He spends three weeks in the project office in the district centre at the site and the fourth is spent in the capital Mapmo at the CAA office
Our daughter Leah makes a huge differe n ce to our lives The MozambiGms are enchanted by her James is known as the husband of the mother of the baby I am known as the mother of the baby and Leah is known by her own name throughout the area She comes out with me mornings and spends afternoons with James in the office
As always 1 necd to say morc than there is time for My hope is that this letter wi ll personalize what is happening in southern Africa so that more support will come to stop the war and the terrible sadness all around this region

OAC CO-OP PROGRAM POPULAR WITH STUDENTS AND EMPLOYERS
Co-op education is the only way to go says Janice Parker OAC 86 Her comment is reflective of the overall view held by co-op students and employers alike
The co-operative education proshygram which has been available to OAC students for the past five years formally integrates the students academic srudy with work experience in co-operating employer organishyzations Usually the student alternates four months ofsoldywith four months of work in the agricultu ral industry directly related to his or her field of study
The co-op program provided me with invaluable work experience in the food science field This experience also enabled me to get an overseas job (through an international exshychange association ) inmy field says Janice who worked as a research assistant in an alcohol company in Finland
Janice says the practical lessons learned on work tenus made classshyroom theory easier to understand She also says the co-op program gave her the benefits of increased selfshyconfidence and the ability to present herse lf well at a job interview Employment interviews generally occur on campus in the middle of the academic term preceding each work semester The interviews are comshypetitive in nature as are the salaries paid by employers which usually average S 1100-$ 1500 per month
Kenda Allen OAC 86 says the coshyop program definitely helps with finances Besides earning money you only pay for four months of your education at a time
While in the program Kenda worked terms as a fieldperson with the Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation as a horse show entry clerk with the Royal Wi nter fair and as a rural organization specialist assistant with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food She now works full-time as associate editor of the
Canadian Ay rshire Review which promotes the Ayrshire breed
My experience in the co-op program helped me obtain obtain my present job I al 0 made contacts which w ill continue to benefi t my career says Kenda
By working at a variety of jobs Kenda explains she was able to narrow down her options and fi nd the correct path to take
Kenda says she also enjoyed the break from the books every four months which allowed her to apply what she was learning
Equally Enthusiastic Employers are equally enthusiastic
about the program Paul Nelson OAC 70 MA 72 vice-preSident of manufacturing and technical services at Corporate Foods in Toronto participated in earlyplanning scssions for the co-op program He cant understand why anyone would not choose the p rogram and feels that ifit had been available when he was a student it would have been very beneficial to him
Paul says the program gives students and employers a chance to assess one another during a fXed time-frame If the students do well he says his company is committed to hiring them on a permanent basis when the opportunity arises We always tell them to keep in touch he says We have found Guelph sOldents to be eager capable and adaptable
Doug Flint OAC 85 who spent two work terms with Corporate Foods was hired permanently as a quality assurance and sanitation supervisor In his case the program came full circle when he hired Guelph co-op student Brenda Ternyik as his assistant last summer and Kelly Newell OAC 82 as his permanenr assistant recently
Doug says the program is a good method of screening for both students and employers It helped me decide what [ did and did not want to do career-wise and it set me up for a
permanent job The company in rum was hiring someone they already knew something about
Suzanne Raymond OAC 77 a research and development manager with Pillsbury Canada Ltd in Toronto says her company has hired many coshyop students as research and developshyment technicians Since product development is seasonal the four month time-frame for work terms is especially suitable for Pillsbury Students undertake short-term proshyjects where it would be uneconomical to hire full-time employees
Suzanne says Pillsbury originally got involved with the co-op program from a recruiting standpoint It gives us exposure to the students and we can test how well they work she says It also gives us exposure to I what is happening at the University in terms of research and the food industry
Suzanne says another benefit is the freshness and vitality students bring with them to the job She has found them on the whole to be very good workers
Louis Paul Ricard a manager with Cargill Ltd a grain company that services both domestic and export markets says the co-op program gives his company a good idea of the calibre of student coming out of university today The work they do is a real contribution to the company as well
Cargills first co-op student Don foster OAC 86 has been hired full shytime as a grain merchant While on work terms with CargiU he had jobs in both Ontario and Alberta Don says an advantage of the co-op program is the opportunity to live and work in different areas of the country
Cargill also hired the co -op programs first crop science graduate John Ormrod OAC 85 who now works in Saskatchewan

Dr Smi th a graduate of the Edinburgh School of Veterinary Medicine was brought to Toronto by the Board of Agriculture of Upper Canada to open a veterinary practice and provide instruction He operated the school under private charter in Toronto until 1908 when it became aftlliated with the University of Toronto nle College moved to Guelph in 1922 becoming a coshyoperative neighbor for the OAC The two later joined with Macdonald Institute to become the founding Colleges of the University of Guelph in 1964
Since the issue of Dr Smiths charshyter the College has contributed substantially to the improvement of public health says OVC Dean Ole Nielsen College faculty were instrushymenta] in the development of milkshytesting programs for mastitis and were involved in the livestock vaccination and testing programs that led to the elimination of tuberculosis and brucellosis in humans and animals
In keeping with the Scottish theme Dr Dean Percy ave 57 MSc 66 a professor in the Department OfPathology piped Dr William PH Jarrett into War Memorial Hall for his special lecture February 12 Also in the procession were President Burt Matthews ave Dean Ole Nielsen specially invited ave retirees andplatform guests (Photo by Tim Sullivan)
They were pioneers in domestic ani shymal surgery and among the first veterinarians to adopt modem surgical techniques Faculty researchers also perfected techniques for the artificial insemination ofdairy cattle and swine and for freezing bull semen
Researdl efforts have continually expanded in areas of comparative medicine where human and vetershyinary medicine cross paths The College is now at the forefront of research on organ transplants and bone surgery and research is proshyceeding in other areas of potential benefit to human medicine including genetically engineered vaccines and cancer research
Each year thousands ofanimals are brought to the ColJege for study and treatment The 2000 patients treated at the large animal clinic last year included an elephant a kangaroo and a gnu Almost 8000 animals visited the small animal clinic and more than 16000 farm animals - mostly cattle
- were seen in the ambulatory clinics herd health program The Colleges wild bird clinic is the only one of its kind in Canada
OVCs department of patholOgy is the Norlh American centre for reshysearch on marine animals and the Canadian centre for diagnostic expershytise in fish pathology The College is closely affiliated with the new Guelph Centre for Equine Research
OVCs influence on the intershynational scene has been substantial Students comefrom around the world (0 study at the undergraduate gradshyuate and post-graduate levels In 1974 the College joined the Canadian international Development Agency in establishing a veterinary school in Malaysia the first in southeast Asia
Celebrations for OVCs 125th birthday will continue throughout the year A highlight onJune 19 is the official opening of the Colleges new Sl35-million large animal faCility

PROGRAM AIMS TO ATTRACT BRIGHTEST STUDENTS
By Sandra Couch Public Relations and Information
The Universitys share of the best and brightest first-year students in the physical sciences could well increase with the introduction of a challenging interdisciplinary one-year pilot project called MPC2 (for Mathematics-Physics-Chemistry-Comshyputing Science ) says Professor Ernie McFarland Physics
Professor McFarland chairman of the CPS interdiSciplinary curriculum committee says the basic introductory courses now in place were designed to serve all tbe students in classes that often reach 300 in size Very bright students the committee found were not as stimulated as they could have been
With the courses as they werewe were not attracting the quantity or quality of students we hoped in areas like physics chemistry and bioshychemistry mathematiCs statistics and computing science says Professor McFarland
The committee has designed a number of new first-year courses which require a minimum average of 80 per cent for admission The courses will combine mathematics physics chemistry and computing and are structured to foster a better appreshyciation of the inter-connections between the disCiplines says Professor McFarland The more challenging courses will also enable bright highly qualified and motivated students to choose one or two additional elective courses in their first year
Professor McFarland admits the project is a departure from the usual departmental philosophy and says the one-year trial period will allow CPS to crawl before we walk He says a successful evaluation at the end of the trial period could lead to possible joint degrees in the areas of physics and chemistry or mathematics and computing
It could well be the first stage for a number of other interdisciplinary ventures in the College beyond the
first -year level says Professor Mcfarland
Acting CPS Dean Rod Gentry says the new intensive program will likely attrlct more of the best students to Guelph because in the sciences the best stude nts are very selective consumers Theyre looking for the best program while theyre still in high school
Former CPS Dean now Vice-President AcademicjackMacDonald conceived MPCZ because he believed that the way physical sciences were
being taught was historical and antiquated He says the departmental divisions in universities are almost tribal in nature and often lead to an arbitrary and artificial division of subject matter
Professor MacDonald says MPCZ which will be offered for the first time in September is consistent with the Universitys aims and objectives and is also consistent with the learning objectives in that it takes a holistic viewpoint in the teaching and learning of the material
GLASSBLOWE RHONORED Unive rSity glassblower Anne Hostetter has been honored by the American Scientific Glassblowers Society (ASGS) in Cincinnati Ohio for her paper Quartz EPR Flat Cel The Fischer and Porter Company of Pennsylvania offers the annual Kermit-Fischer Award in recognition of the best paper presented at the previous years symposium
The paper is selected by a jury from the ASGS on the basis of content app li cat ion presentat ion style graphics use and text
A quartz EPR flat cell is a difficult piece of glassware to make Ms Hostetter says but it is useful in EPR spectroscopy because it allows the 5anlple to be pOSitioned in the densest part of the magnetic field without interfe rence from the electric component of the rad iation
Ms Hostetter has used the techshynique described in her paper sucshycessfully for eight to nine years She forms the flat sides of the cell from two pieces of quartz glass with bevelled edges When spaced proshyperly the bevelled glass forms a V into which a length ofquartz piping is fitted and melted to seal the edges The standard spacing between the two pieces of flat glass is 25 mm
although she has made cells as small as 12 mm and as large as I mm
A 25-minute educaHonal videotape about the technique described in Ms Hostetters paper is available through the ASGS

WOMEN IN SCIENCE GATHER
About 80 women gathered on campus in February to hear Dr Lynda Pinnington talk about career planning forwomen in science Dr Pinnjngton beads Pinn ington Associates of Cambridge a consulting firm that focuses on applied productivity improvement techniques for business and industry Discussants for the careers night were Brenda Bonnett OVC 79 a PhD sludent in the Department of Veterinary Micro shybiology and Immunology and Jan Kaufman Library who is on the Preshysidents Advisory Council day care task force
This was the second event planned by an informal group of women scienshytists at Guelph Professors Susan Mclver chair of the Department of Enviro nmenta l Bio logy Mary Beverley-Burton Zoology and Janet Wood Chemistry and Biochemistry have been the moving forces behind this organization which has blosshysomed into a nucleus of about a dozen women representing aU the science colleges at Guelph They say the groups purpose is to increase awareness of the role of women in science and the opportunities and obstacles they may encounter The group also encourages informal netshyworking and social contacts
Weve avoided creating a formal structure Professor McIver says Meetings are held on an irregular basis and there are no official officers
In addition to offering careers nights the group has compiled a list of women in science at Guelph using the criteria ofa degree in science and employment at the University
Questions raised by the group re shysulted in the updating of the 1975 report of the Presidents Task Force on the status of women at the ni shyversity which led to the formation of the Presidents Advisory Committee on Equal Rights for Men and Women at the University of Guelph This committee chaired by Professor McIver will release a report this spring

OAC GRADUATE WRITES FROM MOZAMBIQUE
Ruth Beilin born and raised in Guelph graduated jromjohn F Ross C VI and earned a BA and a Dipshyloma in Agriculture She worked at the University and in Saskatchewan before going to Papua New Guinea with CUSO as an agricultural extension worker There she met her husband an Australian lawyer who was working in rural development After two years in New Guinea she attended Reading University in England and received an MSc in Agriculture Extension She joinedher husband in Australia and together they apPlied to work on anAustralian government project in Mozambique This is the first ofher letters (written in the summer Of 1986) on life and development in that war-torn country Ruth can be contacted at the follOwing address CAA cP 356 Maputo Mozambique
Life in Mozambique is a series of contrasts and challenges The area where we live is a fertile coastal strip that has been cultivated for at least 50 years - some parts longer Coconut palms wave in the breeze - their languid trunks arching over the dense foliage of the cashew trees planted between their rows The latifundia system practised by the Portuguese meant that as a rule local families had less than two hectares each of usually marginal land to farm for subsistence purposltS and that generally they could not grow permanent tree crops on these family spaces Therefore the wealth from these crops remained with the colonial farmers
Today the state is just beginning a large land reform program What it will mean in real terms is difficult to assess given the huge numbers of dislocated families from the interior dry areas and more desperate war zones The theory is that these families will be able to return to their own farm lands and accumulate more land there assuming that the war and
Ruth Beilin OAC 74
these years of drought and fanline will soon be over
The Mozambicans survive on their abilities as farmers The suffering and deprivation have made them strong conservationists sensitive to their crops and soils But some of the obstacles they face are overwhelming - broken (Ools scarce seed loss of animals Everything is a struggle
Village meetings are stimulating and full of lengthy debate Storyshytelling animation dancing and singing form an important part of the culture The present govenunent has used these means (0 awaken a political consciousness among the people who tend to be passive and accept their circumstances
Our group is not radical but we are different and perhaps threatening to this passivity Mozambicans are tired from hard work long years of fighting a declining economy and many reorganizations of agricultural policy We talk about self-sufficiency (which translated means more work) We talk about development but in agricultural terms offer no pesticides (except naturally occuring ones) import no tractors or cultivators and generally seem to be less modern than the Portuguese who left ten years ago We are not just talking
about rehabilitation but a whole developmental philosophy which is distinct from the projects of other development agencies in nearby districts Although the communities we work in agree that the long-term benefits are valid they must wonder when life is going to become easier
Through all this nms the struggle in southern Africa - the link between the apartheid regime in South Africa and the war in Mozanlbique and indeed in aU the frontline states This war destabilizes the countryside and terrorizes the people rfhe longer we live here and witness this nightmare the more we realize that the end of the war will not be because of things or people in Mozambique This is a war supported by the foreign policies of the West Countries that continue to support South Africa give strength to the South African economy strength that is translated into soldiers anlIDunition supplies and support for the bandidosannados - the armed bandits fighting FREUMO the legal Mozambican govenunent
I could weep when President Reagan says the American support for Jonas Savimbi against the Angolan government and Americas refusal to impose sanctions on South Africa maintains the balance of power between East and West He should stand on the ground where the price is being paid and teU the mourning villagers the dying and the maimed that the world is a better place for this carnage and that the chess games ofthe big men are the real value of human life
Many other countries play sinillar ifsmaller or less direct roles with the future ofsouthern Africa The tragedy of this land is the riches and vast potent ial which attract olltside interest and cost it dearly in ternlS of human resources
James and I first heard about the Rural Development Project in August 1984 when we were working for Community Aid Abroad (CAA) in
24
Australia At that time there was optimism about Mozambique The Nkomati Peace Accord was to end South Mrkas support for the bandits in exchange for diminished support from Mozambique for the African National Congress The project was to be an integrated rural development scheme in health water and agrishyculture
But the war has not ended and it is a constant stumbling block to all aspirations and plans not to mention wearing on ones spirit Still that potential and challenge are alluring and we plod on down the developshyment road trying to build up organization and infrastructure Waiting for the day when things may normalize (After 10 years of war what is normal)
We arrived in Mozambique in April 1985 with James as project director and me as agriculturalist The health team ( a midwife and doctor ) and the community development worker arrived in late August and the water engineer in January 1986 The six of us live on the project site in a nleal district centre The official language is Portuguese and our official work is in that language However the people generally speak their own languages and so communication below the official level continues to be difficult Still they are very patient with our attempts to communicate and live in their communities
My own work is starting to become more visible Three agricultural technicians and I have organized a program of support for the fdmily sector in agriculture This is largely an education extension system that operates on three levels The first level consists of training zone representatives in practical demonshystrations ofagricultural techniques in their home area ( each zone has roughly 60 families and is represented by one man and woman chosen by their community) The zone reps are linked in training sessions and in countryside visits to the second level - an enquadradore who is basically the official link to the district agricultural system There are only five functioning enquadradores in a district of 110000 or more people so we had pound0 create the agricultural reps to make the enquadradores task possible The training program for the enquadradores is critically important because they have no agriculturaJ background but must collect and transmit agricultural information The third level is the agricultural technicians themselves These young counterparts are likely to be the directors and administrators of the future They are also the direct teaching link to the people
After months of meetings and discussions at every level of village and district structure we swung into operation with the agriculture reps
program and the horticultural crops campaign ThankfuUy some of the long-awaited tools - hoes bush knives and seeds - also arrived It is too early to know what the results might be but we are optimistic that with good rains and no bandits family sector food production will show an improvement this ftest season
James gets the thankless task of organizing logistics supplies deleshygations and the endless bookwork Often caught in the middle of our demands the reali ty of the Australian budget and the nightmare of transshyporting difficult ies he somehow remains Cltllm and diplomatic He spends three weeks in the project office in the district centre at the site and the fourth is spent in the capital Mapmo at the CAA office
Our daughter Leah makes a huge differe n ce to our lives The MozambiGms are enchanted by her James is known as the husband of the mother of the baby I am known as the mother of the baby and Leah is known by her own name throughout the area She comes out with me mornings and spends afternoons with James in the office
As always 1 necd to say morc than there is time for My hope is that this letter wi ll personalize what is happening in southern Africa so that more support will come to stop the war and the terrible sadness all around this region

OAC CO-OP PROGRAM POPULAR WITH STUDENTS AND EMPLOYERS
Co-op education is the only way to go says Janice Parker OAC 86 Her comment is reflective of the overall view held by co-op students and employers alike
The co-operative education proshygram which has been available to OAC students for the past five years formally integrates the students academic srudy with work experience in co-operating employer organishyzations Usually the student alternates four months ofsoldywith four months of work in the agricultu ral industry directly related to his or her field of study
The co-op program provided me with invaluable work experience in the food science field This experience also enabled me to get an overseas job (through an international exshychange association ) inmy field says Janice who worked as a research assistant in an alcohol company in Finland
Janice says the practical lessons learned on work tenus made classshyroom theory easier to understand She also says the co-op program gave her the benefits of increased selfshyconfidence and the ability to present herse lf well at a job interview Employment interviews generally occur on campus in the middle of the academic term preceding each work semester The interviews are comshypetitive in nature as are the salaries paid by employers which usually average S 1100-$ 1500 per month
Kenda Allen OAC 86 says the coshyop program definitely helps with finances Besides earning money you only pay for four months of your education at a time
While in the program Kenda worked terms as a fieldperson with the Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation as a horse show entry clerk with the Royal Wi nter fair and as a rural organization specialist assistant with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food She now works full-time as associate editor of the
Canadian Ay rshire Review which promotes the Ayrshire breed
My experience in the co-op program helped me obtain obtain my present job I al 0 made contacts which w ill continue to benefi t my career says Kenda
By working at a variety of jobs Kenda explains she was able to narrow down her options and fi nd the correct path to take
Kenda says she also enjoyed the break from the books every four months which allowed her to apply what she was learning
Equally Enthusiastic Employers are equally enthusiastic
about the program Paul Nelson OAC 70 MA 72 vice-preSident of manufacturing and technical services at Corporate Foods in Toronto participated in earlyplanning scssions for the co-op program He cant understand why anyone would not choose the p rogram and feels that ifit had been available when he was a student it would have been very beneficial to him
Paul says the program gives students and employers a chance to assess one another during a fXed time-frame If the students do well he says his company is committed to hiring them on a permanent basis when the opportunity arises We always tell them to keep in touch he says We have found Guelph sOldents to be eager capable and adaptable
Doug Flint OAC 85 who spent two work terms with Corporate Foods was hired permanently as a quality assurance and sanitation supervisor In his case the program came full circle when he hired Guelph co-op student Brenda Ternyik as his assistant last summer and Kelly Newell OAC 82 as his permanenr assistant recently
Doug says the program is a good method of screening for both students and employers It helped me decide what [ did and did not want to do career-wise and it set me up for a
permanent job The company in rum was hiring someone they already knew something about
Suzanne Raymond OAC 77 a research and development manager with Pillsbury Canada Ltd in Toronto says her company has hired many coshyop students as research and developshyment technicians Since product development is seasonal the four month time-frame for work terms is especially suitable for Pillsbury Students undertake short-term proshyjects where it would be uneconomical to hire full-time employees
Suzanne says Pillsbury originally got involved with the co-op program from a recruiting standpoint It gives us exposure to the students and we can test how well they work she says It also gives us exposure to I what is happening at the University in terms of research and the food industry
Suzanne says another benefit is the freshness and vitality students bring with them to the job She has found them on the whole to be very good workers
Louis Paul Ricard a manager with Cargill Ltd a grain company that services both domestic and export markets says the co-op program gives his company a good idea of the calibre of student coming out of university today The work they do is a real contribution to the company as well
Cargills first co-op student Don foster OAC 86 has been hired full shytime as a grain merchant While on work terms with CargiU he had jobs in both Ontario and Alberta Don says an advantage of the co-op program is the opportunity to live and work in different areas of the country
Cargill also hired the co -op programs first crop science graduate John Ormrod OAC 85 who now works in Saskatchewan

MILESTONE CE EBRATION FOR OVC
With a flourish of kilts and bagshypipes OVC began celebrating its 125th birthday February 12 The COllege is the oldest veterinary school in continuous operation in North and South America
A special lecture by eminent Scotshytish scientist Dr WilJiam FH Jarrett whose work pioneered AIDS research commemorated the founding of the College and the unique contributions of the veterinary medical profession in the advancement of scientific knowledge and disease control
Dr Jarrett of the University of Glasgow Veterinary School gave a public lecture Vacdnation Against Retroviruses From FAIDS to AIDS His work on Feline Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (FAIDS) has been the basis for subsequent research into AIDS
Dr jarretts lecture took place in War Memorial Hall exactly 125 years after OVCs inaugural address was delivered in Toronto by another Scotsman founder Andrew Smith
Dr Smi th a graduate of the Edinburgh School of Veterinary Medicine was brought to Toronto by the Board of Agriculture of Upper Canada to open a veterinary practice and provide instruction He operated the school under private charter in Toronto until 1908 when it became aftlliated with the University of Toronto nle College moved to Guelph in 1922 becoming a coshyoperative neighbor for the OAC The two later joined with Macdonald Institute to become the founding Colleges of the University of Guelph in 1964
Since the issue of Dr Smiths charshyter the College has contributed substantially to the improvement of public health says OVC Dean Ole Nielsen College faculty were instrushymenta] in the development of milkshytesting programs for mastitis and were involved in the livestock vaccination and testing programs that led to the elimination of tuberculosis and brucellosis in humans and animals
In keeping with the Scottish theme Dr Dean Percy ave 57 MSc 66 a professor in the Department OfPathology piped Dr William PH Jarrett into War Memorial Hall for his special lecture February 12 Also in the procession were President Burt Matthews ave Dean Ole Nielsen specially invited ave retirees andplatform guests (Photo by Tim Sullivan)
They were pioneers in domestic ani shymal surgery and among the first veterinarians to adopt modem surgical techniques Faculty researchers also perfected techniques for the artificial insemination ofdairy cattle and swine and for freezing bull semen
Researdl efforts have continually expanded in areas of comparative medicine where human and vetershyinary medicine cross paths The College is now at the forefront of research on organ transplants and bone surgery and research is proshyceeding in other areas of potential benefit to human medicine including genetically engineered vaccines and cancer research
Each year thousands ofanimals are brought to the ColJege for study and treatment The 2000 patients treated at the large animal clinic last year included an elephant a kangaroo and a gnu Almost 8000 animals visited the small animal clinic and more than 16000 farm animals - mostly cattle
- were seen in the ambulatory clinics herd health program The Colleges wild bird clinic is the only one of its kind in Canada
OVCs department of patholOgy is the Norlh American centre for reshysearch on marine animals and the Canadian centre for diagnostic expershytise in fish pathology The College is closely affiliated with the new Guelph Centre for Equine Research
OVCs influence on the intershynational scene has been substantial Students comefrom around the world (0 study at the undergraduate gradshyuate and post-graduate levels In 1974 the College joined the Canadian international Development Agency in establishing a veterinary school in Malaysia the first in southeast Asia
Celebrations for OVCs 125th birthday will continue throughout the year A highlight onJune 19 is the official opening of the Colleges new Sl35-million large animal faCility

PROGRAM AIMS TO ATTRACT BRIGHTEST STUDENTS
By Sandra Couch Public Relations and Information
The Universitys share of the best and brightest first-year students in the physical sciences could well increase with the introduction of a challenging interdisciplinary one-year pilot project called MPC2 (for Mathematics-Physics-Chemistry-Comshyputing Science ) says Professor Ernie McFarland Physics
Professor McFarland chairman of the CPS interdiSciplinary curriculum committee says the basic introductory courses now in place were designed to serve all tbe students in classes that often reach 300 in size Very bright students the committee found were not as stimulated as they could have been
With the courses as they werewe were not attracting the quantity or quality of students we hoped in areas like physics chemistry and bioshychemistry mathematiCs statistics and computing science says Professor McFarland
The committee has designed a number of new first-year courses which require a minimum average of 80 per cent for admission The courses will combine mathematics physics chemistry and computing and are structured to foster a better appreshyciation of the inter-connections between the disCiplines says Professor McFarland The more challenging courses will also enable bright highly qualified and motivated students to choose one or two additional elective courses in their first year
Professor McFarland admits the project is a departure from the usual departmental philosophy and says the one-year trial period will allow CPS to crawl before we walk He says a successful evaluation at the end of the trial period could lead to possible joint degrees in the areas of physics and chemistry or mathematics and computing
It could well be the first stage for a number of other interdisciplinary ventures in the College beyond the
first -year level says Professor Mcfarland
Acting CPS Dean Rod Gentry says the new intensive program will likely attrlct more of the best students to Guelph because in the sciences the best stude nts are very selective consumers Theyre looking for the best program while theyre still in high school
Former CPS Dean now Vice-President AcademicjackMacDonald conceived MPCZ because he believed that the way physical sciences were
being taught was historical and antiquated He says the departmental divisions in universities are almost tribal in nature and often lead to an arbitrary and artificial division of subject matter
Professor MacDonald says MPCZ which will be offered for the first time in September is consistent with the Universitys aims and objectives and is also consistent with the learning objectives in that it takes a holistic viewpoint in the teaching and learning of the material
GLASSBLOWE RHONORED Unive rSity glassblower Anne Hostetter has been honored by the American Scientific Glassblowers Society (ASGS) in Cincinnati Ohio for her paper Quartz EPR Flat Cel The Fischer and Porter Company of Pennsylvania offers the annual Kermit-Fischer Award in recognition of the best paper presented at the previous years symposium
The paper is selected by a jury from the ASGS on the basis of content app li cat ion presentat ion style graphics use and text
A quartz EPR flat cell is a difficult piece of glassware to make Ms Hostetter says but it is useful in EPR spectroscopy because it allows the 5anlple to be pOSitioned in the densest part of the magnetic field without interfe rence from the electric component of the rad iation
Ms Hostetter has used the techshynique described in her paper sucshycessfully for eight to nine years She forms the flat sides of the cell from two pieces of quartz glass with bevelled edges When spaced proshyperly the bevelled glass forms a V into which a length ofquartz piping is fitted and melted to seal the edges The standard spacing between the two pieces of flat glass is 25 mm
although she has made cells as small as 12 mm and as large as I mm
A 25-minute educaHonal videotape about the technique described in Ms Hostetters paper is available through the ASGS
Gordon Willis supervisor Of the Chemistry-Physics Workshop is the first redpient of the Guelph Chapter Sigma Xi award for Support of Reshysearch The award is in recognition of his skill in turning faculty ideas on instrumentation into functional designs Hes pictured in front of a Vandergraf accelerator designed and built in the shop

This was the second event planned by an informal group of women scienshytists at Guelph Professors Susan Mclver chair of the Department of Enviro nmenta l Bio logy Mary Beverley-Burton Zoology and Janet Wood Chemistry and Biochemistry have been the moving forces behind this organization which has blosshysomed into a nucleus of about a dozen women representing aU the science colleges at Guelph They say the groups purpose is to increase awareness of the role of women in science and the opportunities and obstacles they may encounter The group also encourages informal netshyworking and social contacts
Weve avoided creating a formal structure Professor McIver says Meetings are held on an irregular basis and there are no official officers
In addition to offering careers nights the group has compiled a list of women in science at Guelph using the criteria ofa degree in science and employment at the University
Questions raised by the group re shysulted in the updating of the 1975 report of the Presidents Task Force on the status of women at the ni shyversity which led to the formation of the Presidents Advisory Committee on Equal Rights for Men and Women at the University of Guelph This committee chaired by Professor McIver will release a report this spring

OAC GRADUATE WRITES FROM MOZAMBIQUE
Ruth Beilin born and raised in Guelph graduated jromjohn F Ross C VI and earned a BA and a Dipshyloma in Agriculture She worked at the University and in Saskatchewan before going to Papua New Guinea with CUSO as an agricultural extension worker There she met her husband an Australian lawyer who was working in rural development After two years in New Guinea she attended Reading University in England and received an MSc in Agriculture Extension She joinedher husband in Australia and together they apPlied to work on anAustralian government project in Mozambique This is the first ofher letters (written in the summer Of 1986) on life and development in that war-torn country Ruth can be contacted at the follOwing address CAA cP 356 Maputo Mozambique
Life in Mozambique is a series of contrasts and challenges The area where we live is a fertile coastal strip that has been cultivated for at least 50 years - some parts longer Coconut palms wave in the breeze - their languid trunks arching over the dense foliage of the cashew trees planted between their rows The latifundia system practised by the Portuguese meant that as a rule local families had less than two hectares each of usually marginal land to farm for subsistence purposltS and that generally they could not grow permanent tree crops on these family spaces Therefore the wealth from these crops remained with the colonial farmers
Today the state is just beginning a large land reform program What it will mean in real terms is difficult to assess given the huge numbers of dislocated families from the interior dry areas and more desperate war zones The theory is that these families will be able to return to their own farm lands and accumulate more land there assuming that the war and
Ruth Beilin OAC 74
these years of drought and fanline will soon be over
The Mozambicans survive on their abilities as farmers The suffering and deprivation have made them strong conservationists sensitive to their crops and soils But some of the obstacles they face are overwhelming - broken (Ools scarce seed loss of animals Everything is a struggle
Village meetings are stimulating and full of lengthy debate Storyshytelling animation dancing and singing form an important part of the culture The present govenunent has used these means (0 awaken a political consciousness among the people who tend to be passive and accept their circumstances
Our group is not radical but we are different and perhaps threatening to this passivity Mozambicans are tired from hard work long years of fighting a declining economy and many reorganizations of agricultural policy We talk about self-sufficiency (which translated means more work) We talk about development but in agricultural terms offer no pesticides (except naturally occuring ones) import no tractors or cultivators and generally seem to be less modern than the Portuguese who left ten years ago We are not just talking
about rehabilitation but a whole developmental philosophy which is distinct from the projects of other development agencies in nearby districts Although the communities we work in agree that the long-term benefits are valid they must wonder when life is going to become easier
Through all this nms the struggle in southern Africa - the link between the apartheid regime in South Africa and the war in Mozanlbique and indeed in aU the frontline states This war destabilizes the countryside and terrorizes the people rfhe longer we live here and witness this nightmare the more we realize that the end of the war will not be because of things or people in Mozambique This is a war supported by the foreign policies of the West Countries that continue to support South Africa give strength to the South African economy strength that is translated into soldiers anlIDunition supplies and support for the bandidosannados - the armed bandits fighting FREUMO the legal Mozambican govenunent
I could weep when President Reagan says the American support for Jonas Savimbi against the Angolan government and Americas refusal to impose sanctions on South Africa maintains the balance of power between East and West He should stand on the ground where the price is being paid and teU the mourning villagers the dying and the maimed that the world is a better place for this carnage and that the chess games ofthe big men are the real value of human life
Many other countries play sinillar ifsmaller or less direct roles with the future ofsouthern Africa The tragedy of this land is the riches and vast potent ial which attract olltside interest and cost it dearly in ternlS of human resources
James and I first heard about the Rural Development Project in August 1984 when we were working for Community Aid Abroad (CAA) in
24
Australia At that time there was optimism about Mozambique The Nkomati Peace Accord was to end South Mrkas support for the bandits in exchange for diminished support from Mozambique for the African National Congress The project was to be an integrated rural development scheme in health water and agrishyculture
But the war has not ended and it is a constant stumbling block to all aspirations and plans not to mention wearing on ones spirit Still that potential and challenge are alluring and we plod on down the developshyment road trying to build up organization and infrastructure Waiting for the day when things may normalize (After 10 years of war what is normal)
We arrived in Mozambique in April 1985 with James as project director and me as agriculturalist The health team ( a midwife and doctor ) and the community development worker arrived in late August and the water engineer in January 1986 The six of us live on the project site in a nleal district centre The official language is Portuguese and our official work is in that language However the people generally speak their own languages and so communication below the official level continues to be difficult Still they are very patient with our attempts to communicate and live in their communities
My own work is starting to become more visible Three agricultural technicians and I have organized a program of support for the fdmily sector in agriculture This is largely an education extension system that operates on three levels The first level consists of training zone representatives in practical demonshystrations ofagricultural techniques in their home area ( each zone has roughly 60 families and is represented by one man and woman chosen by their community) The zone reps are linked in training sessions and in countryside visits to the second level - an enquadradore who is basically the official link to the district agricultural system There are only five functioning enquadradores in a district of 110000 or more people so we had pound0 create the agricultural reps to make the enquadradores task possible The training program for the enquadradores is critically important because they have no agriculturaJ background but must collect and transmit agricultural information The third level is the agricultural technicians themselves These young counterparts are likely to be the directors and administrators of the future They are also the direct teaching link to the people
After months of meetings and discussions at every level of village and district structure we swung into operation with the agriculture reps
program and the horticultural crops campaign ThankfuUy some of the long-awaited tools - hoes bush knives and seeds - also arrived It is too early to know what the results might be but we are optimistic that with good rains and no bandits family sector food production will show an improvement this ftest season
James gets the thankless task of organizing logistics supplies deleshygations and the endless bookwork Often caught in the middle of our demands the reali ty of the Australian budget and the nightmare of transshyporting difficult ies he somehow remains Cltllm and diplomatic He spends three weeks in the project office in the district centre at the site and the fourth is spent in the capital Mapmo at the CAA office
Our daughter Leah makes a huge differe n ce to our lives The MozambiGms are enchanted by her James is known as the husband of the mother of the baby I am known as the mother of the baby and Leah is known by her own name throughout the area She comes out with me mornings and spends afternoons with James in the office
As always 1 necd to say morc than there is time for My hope is that this letter wi ll personalize what is happening in southern Africa so that more support will come to stop the war and the terrible sadness all around this region

OAC CO-OP PROGRAM POPULAR WITH STUDENTS AND EMPLOYERS
Co-op education is the only way to go says Janice Parker OAC 86 Her comment is reflective of the overall view held by co-op students and employers alike
The co-operative education proshygram which has been available to OAC students for the past five years formally integrates the students academic srudy with work experience in co-operating employer organishyzations Usually the student alternates four months ofsoldywith four months of work in the agricultu ral industry directly related to his or her field of study
The co-op program provided me with invaluable work experience in the food science field This experience also enabled me to get an overseas job (through an international exshychange association ) inmy field says Janice who worked as a research assistant in an alcohol company in Finland
Janice says the practical lessons learned on work tenus made classshyroom theory easier to understand She also says the co-op program gave her the benefits of increased selfshyconfidence and the ability to present herse lf well at a job interview Employment interviews generally occur on campus in the middle of the academic term preceding each work semester The interviews are comshypetitive in nature as are the salaries paid by employers which usually average S 1100-$ 1500 per month
Kenda Allen OAC 86 says the coshyop program definitely helps with finances Besides earning money you only pay for four months of your education at a time
While in the program Kenda worked terms as a fieldperson with the Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation as a horse show entry clerk with the Royal Wi nter fair and as a rural organization specialist assistant with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food She now works full-time as associate editor of the
Canadian Ay rshire Review which promotes the Ayrshire breed
My experience in the co-op program helped me obtain obtain my present job I al 0 made contacts which w ill continue to benefi t my career says Kenda
By working at a variety of jobs Kenda explains she was able to narrow down her options and fi nd the correct path to take
Kenda says she also enjoyed the break from the books every four months which allowed her to apply what she was learning
Equally Enthusiastic Employers are equally enthusiastic
about the program Paul Nelson OAC 70 MA 72 vice-preSident of manufacturing and technical services at Corporate Foods in Toronto participated in earlyplanning scssions for the co-op program He cant understand why anyone would not choose the p rogram and feels that ifit had been available when he was a student it would have been very beneficial to him
Paul says the program gives students and employers a chance to assess one another during a fXed time-frame If the students do well he says his company is committed to hiring them on a permanent basis when the opportunity arises We always tell them to keep in touch he says We have found Guelph sOldents to be eager capable and adaptable
Doug Flint OAC 85 who spent two work terms with Corporate Foods was hired permanently as a quality assurance and sanitation supervisor In his case the program came full circle when he hired Guelph co-op student Brenda Ternyik as his assistant last summer and Kelly Newell OAC 82 as his permanenr assistant recently
Doug says the program is a good method of screening for both students and employers It helped me decide what [ did and did not want to do career-wise and it set me up for a
permanent job The company in rum was hiring someone they already knew something about
Suzanne Raymond OAC 77 a research and development manager with Pillsbury Canada Ltd in Toronto says her company has hired many coshyop students as research and developshyment technicians Since product development is seasonal the four month time-frame for work terms is especially suitable for Pillsbury Students undertake short-term proshyjects where it would be uneconomical to hire full-time employees
Suzanne says Pillsbury originally got involved with the co-op program from a recruiting standpoint It gives us exposure to the students and we can test how well they work she says It also gives us exposure to I what is happening at the University in terms of research and the food industry
Suzanne says another benefit is the freshness and vitality students bring with them to the job She has found them on the whole to be very good workers
Louis Paul Ricard a manager with Cargill Ltd a grain company that services both domestic and export markets says the co-op program gives his company a good idea of the calibre of student coming out of university today The work they do is a real contribution to the company as well
Cargills first co-op student Don foster OAC 86 has been hired full shytime as a grain merchant While on work terms with CargiU he had jobs in both Ontario and Alberta Don says an advantage of the co-op program is the opportunity to live and work in different areas of the country
Cargill also hired the co -op programs first crop science graduate John Ormrod OAC 85 who now works in Saskatchewan

MILESTONE CE EBRATION FOR OVC
With a flourish of kilts and bagshypipes OVC began celebrating its 125th birthday February 12 The COllege is the oldest veterinary school in continuous operation in North and South America
A special lecture by eminent Scotshytish scientist Dr WilJiam FH Jarrett whose work pioneered AIDS research commemorated the founding of the College and the unique contributions of the veterinary medical profession in the advancement of scientific knowledge and disease control
Dr Jarrett of the University of Glasgow Veterinary School gave a public lecture Vacdnation Against Retroviruses From FAIDS to AIDS His work on Feline Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (FAIDS) has been the basis for subsequent research into AIDS
Dr jarretts lecture took place in War Memorial Hall exactly 125 years after OVCs inaugural address was delivered in Toronto by another Scotsman founder Andrew Smith
Dr Smi th a graduate of the Edinburgh School of Veterinary Medicine was brought to Toronto by the Board of Agriculture of Upper Canada to open a veterinary practice and provide instruction He operated the school under private charter in Toronto until 1908 when it became aftlliated with the University of Toronto nle College moved to Guelph in 1922 becoming a coshyoperative neighbor for the OAC The two later joined with Macdonald Institute to become the founding Colleges of the University of Guelph in 1964
Since the issue of Dr Smiths charshyter the College has contributed substantially to the improvement of public health says OVC Dean Ole Nielsen College faculty were instrushymenta] in the development of milkshytesting programs for mastitis and were involved in the livestock vaccination and testing programs that led to the elimination of tuberculosis and brucellosis in humans and animals
In keeping with the Scottish theme Dr Dean Percy ave 57 MSc 66 a professor in the Department OfPathology piped Dr William PH Jarrett into War Memorial Hall for his special lecture February 12 Also in the procession were President Burt Matthews ave Dean Ole Nielsen specially invited ave retirees andplatform guests (Photo by Tim Sullivan)
They were pioneers in domestic ani shymal surgery and among the first veterinarians to adopt modem surgical techniques Faculty researchers also perfected techniques for the artificial insemination ofdairy cattle and swine and for freezing bull semen
Researdl efforts have continually expanded in areas of comparative medicine where human and vetershyinary medicine cross paths The College is now at the forefront of research on organ transplants and bone surgery and research is proshyceeding in other areas of potential benefit to human medicine including genetically engineered vaccines and cancer research
Each year thousands ofanimals are brought to the ColJege for study and treatment The 2000 patients treated at the large animal clinic last year included an elephant a kangaroo and a gnu Almost 8000 animals visited the small animal clinic and more than 16000 farm animals - mostly cattle
- were seen in the ambulatory clinics herd health program The Colleges wild bird clinic is the only one of its kind in Canada
OVCs department of patholOgy is the Norlh American centre for reshysearch on marine animals and the Canadian centre for diagnostic expershytise in fish pathology The College is closely affiliated with the new Guelph Centre for Equine Research
OVCs influence on the intershynational scene has been substantial Students comefrom around the world (0 study at the undergraduate gradshyuate and post-graduate levels In 1974 the College joined the Canadian international Development Agency in establishing a veterinary school in Malaysia the first in southeast Asia
Celebrations for OVCs 125th birthday will continue throughout the year A highlight onJune 19 is the official opening of the Colleges new Sl35-million large animal faCility

PROGRAM AIMS TO ATTRACT BRIGHTEST STUDENTS
By Sandra Couch Public Relations and Information
The Universitys share of the best and brightest first-year students in the physical sciences could well increase with the introduction of a challenging interdisciplinary one-year pilot project called MPC2 (for Mathematics-Physics-Chemistry-Comshyputing Science ) says Professor Ernie McFarland Physics
Professor McFarland chairman of the CPS interdiSciplinary curriculum committee says the basic introductory courses now in place were designed to serve all tbe students in classes that often reach 300 in size Very bright students the committee found were not as stimulated as they could have been
With the courses as they werewe were not attracting the quantity or quality of students we hoped in areas like physics chemistry and bioshychemistry mathematiCs statistics and computing science says Professor McFarland
The committee has designed a number of new first-year courses which require a minimum average of 80 per cent for admission The courses will combine mathematics physics chemistry and computing and are structured to foster a better appreshyciation of the inter-connections between the disCiplines says Professor McFarland The more challenging courses will also enable bright highly qualified and motivated students to choose one or two additional elective courses in their first year
Professor McFarland admits the project is a departure from the usual departmental philosophy and says the one-year trial period will allow CPS to crawl before we walk He says a successful evaluation at the end of the trial period could lead to possible joint degrees in the areas of physics and chemistry or mathematics and computing
It could well be the first stage for a number of other interdisciplinary ventures in the College beyond the
first -year level says Professor Mcfarland
Acting CPS Dean Rod Gentry says the new intensive program will likely attrlct more of the best students to Guelph because in the sciences the best stude nts are very selective consumers Theyre looking for the best program while theyre still in high school
Former CPS Dean now Vice-President AcademicjackMacDonald conceived MPCZ because he believed that the way physical sciences were
being taught was historical and antiquated He says the departmental divisions in universities are almost tribal in nature and often lead to an arbitrary and artificial division of subject matter
Professor MacDonald says MPCZ which will be offered for the first time in September is consistent with the Universitys aims and objectives and is also consistent with the learning objectives in that it takes a holistic viewpoint in the teaching and learning of the material
GLASSBLOWE RHONORED Unive rSity glassblower Anne Hostetter has been honored by the American Scientific Glassblowers Society (ASGS) in Cincinnati Ohio for her paper Quartz EPR Flat Cel The Fischer and Porter Company of Pennsylvania offers the annual Kermit-Fischer Award in recognition of the best paper presented at the previous years symposium
The paper is selected by a jury from the ASGS on the basis of content app li cat ion presentat ion style graphics use and text
A quartz EPR flat cell is a difficult piece of glassware to make Ms Hostetter says but it is useful in EPR spectroscopy because it allows the 5anlple to be pOSitioned in the densest part of the magnetic field without interfe rence from the electric component of the rad iation
Ms Hostetter has used the techshynique described in her paper sucshycessfully for eight to nine years She forms the flat sides of the cell from two pieces of quartz glass with bevelled edges When spaced proshyperly the bevelled glass forms a V into which a length ofquartz piping is fitted and melted to seal the edges The standard spacing between the two pieces of flat glass is 25 mm
although she has made cells as small as 12 mm and as large as I mm
A 25-minute educaHonal videotape about the technique described in Ms Hostetters paper is available through the ASGS

WOMEN IN SCIENCE GATHER
About 80 women gathered on campus in February to hear Dr Lynda Pinnington talk about career planning forwomen in science Dr Pinnjngton beads Pinn ington Associates of Cambridge a consulting firm that focuses on applied productivity improvement techniques for business and industry Discussants for the careers night were Brenda Bonnett OVC 79 a PhD sludent in the Department of Veterinary Micro shybiology and Immunology and Jan Kaufman Library who is on the Preshysidents Advisory Council day care task force
This was the second event planned by an informal group of women scienshytists at Guelph Professors Susan Mclver chair of the Department of Enviro nmenta l Bio logy Mary Beverley-Burton Zoology and Janet Wood Chemistry and Biochemistry have been the moving forces behind this organization which has blosshysomed into a nucleus of about a dozen women representing aU the science colleges at Guelph They say the groups purpose is to increase awareness of the role of women in science and the opportunities and obstacles they may encounter The group also encourages informal netshyworking and social contacts
Weve avoided creating a formal structure Professor McIver says Meetings are held on an irregular basis and there are no official officers
In addition to offering careers nights the group has compiled a list of women in science at Guelph using the criteria ofa degree in science and employment at the University
Questions raised by the group re shysulted in the updating of the 1975 report of the Presidents Task Force on the status of women at the ni shyversity which led to the formation of the Presidents Advisory Committee on Equal Rights for Men and Women at the University of Guelph This committee chaired by Professor McIver will release a report this spring

OAC GRADUATE WRITES FROM MOZAMBIQUE
Ruth Beilin born and raised in Guelph graduated jromjohn F Ross C VI and earned a BA and a Dipshyloma in Agriculture She worked at the University and in Saskatchewan before going to Papua New Guinea with CUSO as an agricultural extension worker There she met her husband an Australian lawyer who was working in rural development After two years in New Guinea she attended Reading University in England and received an MSc in Agriculture Extension She joinedher husband in Australia and together they apPlied to work on anAustralian government project in Mozambique This is the first ofher letters (written in the summer Of 1986) on life and development in that war-torn country Ruth can be contacted at the follOwing address CAA cP 356 Maputo Mozambique
Life in Mozambique is a series of contrasts and challenges The area where we live is a fertile coastal strip that has been cultivated for at least 50 years - some parts longer Coconut palms wave in the breeze - their languid trunks arching over the dense foliage of the cashew trees planted between their rows The latifundia system practised by the Portuguese meant that as a rule local families had less than two hectares each of usually marginal land to farm for subsistence purposltS and that generally they could not grow permanent tree crops on these family spaces Therefore the wealth from these crops remained with the colonial farmers
Today the state is just beginning a large land reform program What it will mean in real terms is difficult to assess given the huge numbers of dislocated families from the interior dry areas and more desperate war zones The theory is that these families will be able to return to their own farm lands and accumulate more land there assuming that the war and
Ruth Beilin OAC 74
these years of drought and fanline will soon be over
The Mozambicans survive on their abilities as farmers The suffering and deprivation have made them strong conservationists sensitive to their crops and soils But some of the obstacles they face are overwhelming - broken (Ools scarce seed loss of animals Everything is a struggle
Village meetings are stimulating and full of lengthy debate Storyshytelling animation dancing and singing form an important part of the culture The present govenunent has used these means (0 awaken a political consciousness among the people who tend to be passive and accept their circumstances
Our group is not radical but we are different and perhaps threatening to this passivity Mozambicans are tired from hard work long years of fighting a declining economy and many reorganizations of agricultural policy We talk about self-sufficiency (which translated means more work) We talk about development but in agricultural terms offer no pesticides (except naturally occuring ones) import no tractors or cultivators and generally seem to be less modern than the Portuguese who left ten years ago We are not just talking
about rehabilitation but a whole developmental philosophy which is distinct from the projects of other development agencies in nearby districts Although the communities we work in agree that the long-term benefits are valid they must wonder when life is going to become easier
Through all this nms the struggle in southern Africa - the link between the apartheid regime in South Africa and the war in Mozanlbique and indeed in aU the frontline states This war destabilizes the countryside and terrorizes the people rfhe longer we live here and witness this nightmare the more we realize that the end of the war will not be because of things or people in Mozambique This is a war supported by the foreign policies of the West Countries that continue to support South Africa give strength to the South African economy strength that is translated into soldiers anlIDunition supplies and support for the bandidosannados - the armed bandits fighting FREUMO the legal Mozambican govenunent
I could weep when President Reagan says the American support for Jonas Savimbi against the Angolan government and Americas refusal to impose sanctions on South Africa maintains the balance of power between East and West He should stand on the ground where the price is being paid and teU the mourning villagers the dying and the maimed that the world is a better place for this carnage and that the chess games ofthe big men are the real value of human life
Many other countries play sinillar ifsmaller or less direct roles with the future ofsouthern Africa The tragedy of this land is the riches and vast potent ial which attract olltside interest and cost it dearly in ternlS of human resources
James and I first heard about the Rural Development Project in August 1984 when we were working for Community Aid Abroad (CAA) in
24
Australia At that time there was optimism about Mozambique The Nkomati Peace Accord was to end South Mrkas support for the bandits in exchange for diminished support from Mozambique for the African National Congress The project was to be an integrated rural development scheme in health water and agrishyculture
But the war has not ended and it is a constant stumbling block to all aspirations and plans not to mention wearing on ones spirit Still that potential and challenge are alluring and we plod on down the developshyment road trying to build up organization and infrastructure Waiting for the day when things may normalize (After 10 years of war what is normal)
We arrived in Mozambique in April 1985 with James as project director and me as agriculturalist The health team ( a midwife and doctor ) and the community development worker arrived in late August and the water engineer in January 1986 The six of us live on the project site in a nleal district centre The official language is Portuguese and our official work is in that language However the people generally speak their own languages and so communication below the official level continues to be difficult Still they are very patient with our attempts to communicate and live in their communities
My own work is starting to become more visible Three agricultural technicians and I have organized a program of support for the fdmily sector in agriculture This is largely an education extension system that operates on three levels The first level consists of training zone representatives in practical demonshystrations ofagricultural techniques in their home area ( each zone has roughly 60 families and is represented by one man and woman chosen by their community) The zone reps are linked in training sessions and in countryside visits to the second level - an enquadradore who is basically the official link to the district agricultural system There are only five functioning enquadradores in a district of 110000 or more people so we had pound0 create the agricultural reps to make the enquadradores task possible The training program for the enquadradores is critically important because they have no agriculturaJ background but must collect and transmit agricultural information The third level is the agricultural technicians themselves These young counterparts are likely to be the directors and administrators of the future They are also the direct teaching link to the people
After months of meetings and discussions at every level of village and district structure we swung into operation with the agriculture reps
program and the horticultural crops campaign ThankfuUy some of the long-awaited tools - hoes bush knives and seeds - also arrived It is too early to know what the results might be but we are optimistic that with good rains and no bandits family sector food production will show an improvement this ftest season
James gets the thankless task of organizing logistics supplies deleshygations and the endless bookwork Often caught in the middle of our demands the reali ty of the Australian budget and the nightmare of transshyporting difficult ies he somehow remains Cltllm and diplomatic He spends three weeks in the project office in the district centre at the site and the fourth is spent in the capital Mapmo at the CAA office
Our daughter Leah makes a huge differe n ce to our lives The MozambiGms are enchanted by her James is known as the husband of the mother of the baby I am known as the mother of the baby and Leah is known by her own name throughout the area She comes out with me mornings and spends afternoons with James in the office
As always 1 necd to say morc than there is time for My hope is that this letter wi ll personalize what is happening in southern Africa so that more support will come to stop the war and the terrible sadness all around this region

OAC CO-OP PROGRAM POPULAR WITH STUDENTS AND EMPLOYERS
Co-op education is the only way to go says Janice Parker OAC 86 Her comment is reflective of the overall view held by co-op students and employers alike
The co-operative education proshygram which has been available to OAC students for the past five years formally integrates the students academic srudy with work experience in co-operating employer organishyzations Usually the student alternates four months ofsoldywith four months of work in the agricultu ral industry directly related to his or her field of study
The co-op program provided me with invaluable work experience in the food science field This experience also enabled me to get an overseas job (through an international exshychange association ) inmy field says Janice who worked as a research assistant in an alcohol company in Finland
Janice says the practical lessons learned on work tenus made classshyroom theory easier to understand She also says the co-op program gave her the benefits of increased selfshyconfidence and the ability to present herse lf well at a job interview Employment interviews generally occur on campus in the middle of the academic term preceding each work semester The interviews are comshypetitive in nature as are the salaries paid by employers which usually average S 1100-$ 1500 per month
Kenda Allen OAC 86 says the coshyop program definitely helps with finances Besides earning money you only pay for four months of your education at a time
While in the program Kenda worked terms as a fieldperson with the Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation as a horse show entry clerk with the Royal Wi nter fair and as a rural organization specialist assistant with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food She now works full-time as associate editor of the
Canadian Ay rshire Review which promotes the Ayrshire breed
My experience in the co-op program helped me obtain obtain my present job I al 0 made contacts which w ill continue to benefi t my career says Kenda
By working at a variety of jobs Kenda explains she was able to narrow down her options and fi nd the correct path to take
Kenda says she also enjoyed the break from the books every four months which allowed her to apply what she was learning
Equally Enthusiastic Employers are equally enthusiastic
about the program Paul Nelson OAC 70 MA 72 vice-preSident of manufacturing and technical services at Corporate Foods in Toronto participated in earlyplanning scssions for the co-op program He cant understand why anyone would not choose the p rogram and feels that ifit had been available when he was a student it would have been very beneficial to him
Paul says the program gives students and employers a chance to assess one another during a fXed time-frame If the students do well he says his company is committed to hiring them on a permanent basis when the opportunity arises We always tell them to keep in touch he says We have found Guelph sOldents to be eager capable and adaptable
Doug Flint OAC 85 who spent two work terms with Corporate Foods was hired permanently as a quality assurance and sanitation supervisor In his case the program came full circle when he hired Guelph co-op student Brenda Ternyik as his assistant last summer and Kelly Newell OAC 82 as his permanenr assistant recently
Doug says the program is a good method of screening for both students and employers It helped me decide what [ did and did not want to do career-wise and it set me up for a
permanent job The company in rum was hiring someone they already knew something about
Suzanne Raymond OAC 77 a research and development manager with Pillsbury Canada Ltd in Toronto says her company has hired many coshyop students as research and developshyment technicians Since product development is seasonal the four month time-frame for work terms is especially suitable for Pillsbury Students undertake short-term proshyjects where it would be uneconomical to hire full-time employees
Suzanne says Pillsbury originally got involved with the co-op program from a recruiting standpoint It gives us exposure to the students and we can test how well they work she says It also gives us exposure to I what is happening at the University in terms of research and the food industry
Suzanne says another benefit is the freshness and vitality students bring with them to the job She has found them on the whole to be very good workers
Louis Paul Ricard a manager with Cargill Ltd a grain company that services both domestic and export markets says the co-op program gives his company a good idea of the calibre of student coming out of university today The work they do is a real contribution to the company as well
Cargills first co-op student Don foster OAC 86 has been hired full shytime as a grain merchant While on work terms with CargiU he had jobs in both Ontario and Alberta Don says an advantage of the co-op program is the opportunity to live and work in different areas of the country
Cargill also hired the co -op programs first crop science graduate John Ormrod OAC 85 who now works in Saskatchewan

MILESTONE CE EBRATION FOR OVC
With a flourish of kilts and bagshypipes OVC began celebrating its 125th birthday February 12 The COllege is the oldest veterinary school in continuous operation in North and South America
A special lecture by eminent Scotshytish scientist Dr WilJiam FH Jarrett whose work pioneered AIDS research commemorated the founding of the College and the unique contributions of the veterinary medical profession in the advancement of scientific knowledge and disease control
Dr Jarrett of the University of Glasgow Veterinary School gave a public lecture Vacdnation Against Retroviruses From FAIDS to AIDS His work on Feline Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (FAIDS) has been the basis for subsequent research into AIDS
Dr jarretts lecture took place in War Memorial Hall exactly 125 years after OVCs inaugural address was delivered in Toronto by another Scotsman founder Andrew Smith
Dr Smi th a graduate of the Edinburgh School of Veterinary Medicine was brought to Toronto by the Board of Agriculture of Upper Canada to open a veterinary practice and provide instruction He operated the school under private charter in Toronto until 1908 when it became aftlliated with the University of Toronto nle College moved to Guelph in 1922 becoming a coshyoperative neighbor for the OAC The two later joined with Macdonald Institute to become the founding Colleges of the University of Guelph in 1964
Since the issue of Dr Smiths charshyter the College has contributed substantially to the improvement of public health says OVC Dean Ole Nielsen College faculty were instrushymenta] in the development of milkshytesting programs for mastitis and were involved in the livestock vaccination and testing programs that led to the elimination of tuberculosis and brucellosis in humans and animals
In keeping with the Scottish theme Dr Dean Percy ave 57 MSc 66 a professor in the Department OfPathology piped Dr William PH Jarrett into War Memorial Hall for his special lecture February 12 Also in the procession were President Burt Matthews ave Dean Ole Nielsen specially invited ave retirees andplatform guests (Photo by Tim Sullivan)
They were pioneers in domestic ani shymal surgery and among the first veterinarians to adopt modem surgical techniques Faculty researchers also perfected techniques for the artificial insemination ofdairy cattle and swine and for freezing bull semen
Researdl efforts have continually expanded in areas of comparative medicine where human and vetershyinary medicine cross paths The College is now at the forefront of research on organ transplants and bone surgery and research is proshyceeding in other areas of potential benefit to human medicine including genetically engineered vaccines and cancer research
Each year thousands ofanimals are brought to the ColJege for study and treatment The 2000 patients treated at the large animal clinic last year included an elephant a kangaroo and a gnu Almost 8000 animals visited the small animal clinic and more than 16000 farm animals - mostly cattle
- were seen in the ambulatory clinics herd health program The Colleges wild bird clinic is the only one of its kind in Canada
OVCs department of patholOgy is the Norlh American centre for reshysearch on marine animals and the Canadian centre for diagnostic expershytise in fish pathology The College is closely affiliated with the new Guelph Centre for Equine Research
OVCs influence on the intershynational scene has been substantial Students comefrom around the world (0 study at the undergraduate gradshyuate and post-graduate levels In 1974 the College joined the Canadian international Development Agency in establishing a veterinary school in Malaysia the first in southeast Asia
Celebrations for OVCs 125th birthday will continue throughout the year A highlight onJune 19 is the official opening of the Colleges new Sl35-million large animal faCility

PROGRAM AIMS TO ATTRACT BRIGHTEST STUDENTS
By Sandra Couch Public Relations and Information
The Universitys share of the best and brightest first-year students in the physical sciences could well increase with the introduction of a challenging interdisciplinary one-year pilot project called MPC2 (for Mathematics-Physics-Chemistry-Comshyputing Science ) says Professor Ernie McFarland Physics
Professor McFarland chairman of the CPS interdiSciplinary curriculum committee says the basic introductory courses now in place were designed to serve all tbe students in classes that often reach 300 in size Very bright students the committee found were not as stimulated as they could have been
With the courses as they werewe were not attracting the quantity or quality of students we hoped in areas like physics chemistry and bioshychemistry mathematiCs statistics and computing science says Professor McFarland
The committee has designed a number of new first-year courses which require a minimum average of 80 per cent for admission The courses will combine mathematics physics chemistry and computing and are structured to foster a better appreshyciation of the inter-connections between the disCiplines says Professor McFarland The more challenging courses will also enable bright highly qualified and motivated students to choose one or two additional elective courses in their first year
Professor McFarland admits the project is a departure from the usual departmental philosophy and says the one-year trial period will allow CPS to crawl before we walk He says a successful evaluation at the end of the trial period could lead to possible joint degrees in the areas of physics and chemistry or mathematics and computing
It could well be the first stage for a number of other interdisciplinary ventures in the College beyond the
first -year level says Professor Mcfarland
Acting CPS Dean Rod Gentry says the new intensive program will likely attrlct more of the best students to Guelph because in the sciences the best stude nts are very selective consumers Theyre looking for the best program while theyre still in high school
Former CPS Dean now Vice-President AcademicjackMacDonald conceived MPCZ because he believed that the way physical sciences were
being taught was historical and antiquated He says the departmental divisions in universities are almost tribal in nature and often lead to an arbitrary and artificial division of subject matter
Professor MacDonald says MPCZ which will be offered for the first time in September is consistent with the Universitys aims and objectives and is also consistent with the learning objectives in that it takes a holistic viewpoint in the teaching and learning of the material
GLASSBLOWE RHONORED Unive rSity glassblower Anne Hostetter has been honored by the American Scientific Glassblowers Society (ASGS) in Cincinnati Ohio for her paper Quartz EPR Flat Cel The Fischer and Porter Company of Pennsylvania offers the annual Kermit-Fischer Award in recognition of the best paper presented at the previous years symposium
The paper is selected by a jury from the ASGS on the basis of content app li cat ion presentat ion style graphics use and text
A quartz EPR flat cell is a difficult piece of glassware to make Ms Hostetter says but it is useful in EPR spectroscopy because it allows the 5anlple to be pOSitioned in the densest part of the magnetic field without interfe rence from the electric component of the rad iation
Ms Hostetter has used the techshynique described in her paper sucshycessfully for eight to nine years She forms the flat sides of the cell from two pieces of quartz glass with bevelled edges When spaced proshyperly the bevelled glass forms a V into which a length ofquartz piping is fitted and melted to seal the edges The standard spacing between the two pieces of flat glass is 25 mm
although she has made cells as small as 12 mm and as large as I mm
A 25-minute educaHonal videotape about the technique described in Ms Hostetters paper is available through the ASGS

WOMEN IN SCIENCE GATHER
About 80 women gathered on campus in February to hear Dr Lynda Pinnington talk about career planning forwomen in science Dr Pinnjngton beads Pinn ington Associates of Cambridge a consulting firm that focuses on applied productivity improvement techniques for business and industry Discussants for the careers night were Brenda Bonnett OVC 79 a PhD sludent in the Department of Veterinary Micro shybiology and Immunology and Jan Kaufman Library who is on the Preshysidents Advisory Council day care task force
This was the second event planned by an informal group of women scienshytists at Guelph Professors Susan Mclver chair of the Department of Enviro nmenta l Bio logy Mary Beverley-Burton Zoology and Janet Wood Chemistry and Biochemistry have been the moving forces behind this organization which has blosshysomed into a nucleus of about a dozen women representing aU the science colleges at Guelph They say the groups purpose is to increase awareness of the role of women in science and the opportunities and obstacles they may encounter The group also encourages informal netshyworking and social contacts
Weve avoided creating a formal structure Professor McIver says Meetings are held on an irregular basis and there are no official officers
In addition to offering careers nights the group has compiled a list of women in science at Guelph using the criteria ofa degree in science and employment at the University
Questions raised by the group re shysulted in the updating of the 1975 report of the Presidents Task Force on the status of women at the ni shyversity which led to the formation of the Presidents Advisory Committee on Equal Rights for Men and Women at the University of Guelph This committee chaired by Professor McIver will release a report this spring

FORSTER FELLOWSHIPS AWARDED The 1987 Forster Fellowships have been awarded to two CBS faculty members
Professor Terry Beveridge Depart shyment of Microbiology will use the fellowship to help develop new techshyni ques to study bacter ial ultra shystmcture and to travel to Europe in June to work with Professor we Sleytr in Vienna Austria and Professor Edward Ke llenberger in Basel Switzerland Professor Sleytrs area of expertise is ultrastructure of bacteria I surfaces and Professor Kellenbergers is new techniques in electron micro shyscopy
Professor Terry Graham School of
Human Biology will use the fcllowship to continue his study of human muscle metabolism and its response to cold stress and exercise This month he travels to Copenhagen to work with three researchers at the August Krogh Institute - Dr Bengt Saltin a spe shycialist in cardiovascular and muscle physiology Dr Bodil Nielsen who works in themlo-regulation and Dr Erik Richter a specialist in carbo shyhydrate metabolism

OAC GRADUATE WRITES FROM MOZAMBIQUE
Ruth Beilin born and raised in Guelph graduated jromjohn F Ross C VI and earned a BA and a Dipshyloma in Agriculture She worked at the University and in Saskatchewan before going to Papua New Guinea with CUSO as an agricultural extension worker There she met her husband an Australian lawyer who was working in rural development After two years in New Guinea she attended Reading University in England and received an MSc in Agriculture Extension She joinedher husband in Australia and together they apPlied to work on anAustralian government project in Mozambique This is the first ofher letters (written in the summer Of 1986) on life and development in that war-torn country Ruth can be contacted at the follOwing address CAA cP 356 Maputo Mozambique
Life in Mozambique is a series of contrasts and challenges The area where we live is a fertile coastal strip that has been cultivated for at least 50 years - some parts longer Coconut palms wave in the breeze - their languid trunks arching over the dense foliage of the cashew trees planted between their rows The latifundia system practised by the Portuguese meant that as a rule local families had less than two hectares each of usually marginal land to farm for subsistence purposltS and that generally they could not grow permanent tree crops on these family spaces Therefore the wealth from these crops remained with the colonial farmers
Today the state is just beginning a large land reform program What it will mean in real terms is difficult to assess given the huge numbers of dislocated families from the interior dry areas and more desperate war zones The theory is that these families will be able to return to their own farm lands and accumulate more land there assuming that the war and
Ruth Beilin OAC 74
these years of drought and fanline will soon be over
The Mozambicans survive on their abilities as farmers The suffering and deprivation have made them strong conservationists sensitive to their crops and soils But some of the obstacles they face are overwhelming - broken (Ools scarce seed loss of animals Everything is a struggle
Village meetings are stimulating and full of lengthy debate Storyshytelling animation dancing and singing form an important part of the culture The present govenunent has used these means (0 awaken a political consciousness among the people who tend to be passive and accept their circumstances
Our group is not radical but we are different and perhaps threatening to this passivity Mozambicans are tired from hard work long years of fighting a declining economy and many reorganizations of agricultural policy We talk about self-sufficiency (which translated means more work) We talk about development but in agricultural terms offer no pesticides (except naturally occuring ones) import no tractors or cultivators and generally seem to be less modern than the Portuguese who left ten years ago We are not just talking
about rehabilitation but a whole developmental philosophy which is distinct from the projects of other development agencies in nearby districts Although the communities we work in agree that the long-term benefits are valid they must wonder when life is going to become easier
Through all this nms the struggle in southern Africa - the link between the apartheid regime in South Africa and the war in Mozanlbique and indeed in aU the frontline states This war destabilizes the countryside and terrorizes the people rfhe longer we live here and witness this nightmare the more we realize that the end of the war will not be because of things or people in Mozambique This is a war supported by the foreign policies of the West Countries that continue to support South Africa give strength to the South African economy strength that is translated into soldiers anlIDunition supplies and support for the bandidosannados - the armed bandits fighting FREUMO the legal Mozambican govenunent
I could weep when President Reagan says the American support for Jonas Savimbi against the Angolan government and Americas refusal to impose sanctions on South Africa maintains the balance of power between East and West He should stand on the ground where the price is being paid and teU the mourning villagers the dying and the maimed that the world is a better place for this carnage and that the chess games ofthe big men are the real value of human life
Many other countries play sinillar ifsmaller or less direct roles with the future ofsouthern Africa The tragedy of this land is the riches and vast potent ial which attract olltside interest and cost it dearly in ternlS of human resources
James and I first heard about the Rural Development Project in August 1984 when we were working for Community Aid Abroad (CAA) in
24
Australia At that time there was optimism about Mozambique The Nkomati Peace Accord was to end South Mrkas support for the bandits in exchange for diminished support from Mozambique for the African National Congress The project was to be an integrated rural development scheme in health water and agrishyculture
But the war has not ended and it is a constant stumbling block to all aspirations and plans not to mention wearing on ones spirit Still that potential and challenge are alluring and we plod on down the developshyment road trying to build up organization and infrastructure Waiting for the day when things may normalize (After 10 years of war what is normal)
We arrived in Mozambique in April 1985 with James as project director and me as agriculturalist The health team ( a midwife and doctor ) and the community development worker arrived in late August and the water engineer in January 1986 The six of us live on the project site in a nleal district centre The official language is Portuguese and our official work is in that language However the people generally speak their own languages and so communication below the official level continues to be difficult Still they are very patient with our attempts to communicate and live in their communities
My own work is starting to become more visible Three agricultural technicians and I have organized a program of support for the fdmily sector in agriculture This is largely an education extension system that operates on three levels The first level consists of training zone representatives in practical demonshystrations ofagricultural techniques in their home area ( each zone has roughly 60 families and is represented by one man and woman chosen by their community) The zone reps are linked in training sessions and in countryside visits to the second level - an enquadradore who is basically the official link to the district agricultural system There are only five functioning enquadradores in a district of 110000 or more people so we had pound0 create the agricultural reps to make the enquadradores task possible The training program for the enquadradores is critically important because they have no agriculturaJ background but must collect and transmit agricultural information The third level is the agricultural technicians themselves These young counterparts are likely to be the directors and administrators of the future They are also the direct teaching link to the people
After months of meetings and discussions at every level of village and district structure we swung into operation with the agriculture reps
program and the horticultural crops campaign ThankfuUy some of the long-awaited tools - hoes bush knives and seeds - also arrived It is too early to know what the results might be but we are optimistic that with good rains and no bandits family sector food production will show an improvement this ftest season
James gets the thankless task of organizing logistics supplies deleshygations and the endless bookwork Often caught in the middle of our demands the reali ty of the Australian budget and the nightmare of transshyporting difficult ies he somehow remains Cltllm and diplomatic He spends three weeks in the project office in the district centre at the site and the fourth is spent in the capital Mapmo at the CAA office
Our daughter Leah makes a huge differe n ce to our lives The MozambiGms are enchanted by her James is known as the husband of the mother of the baby I am known as the mother of the baby and Leah is known by her own name throughout the area She comes out with me mornings and spends afternoons with James in the office
As always 1 necd to say morc than there is time for My hope is that this letter wi ll personalize what is happening in southern Africa so that more support will come to stop the war and the terrible sadness all around this region

OAC CO-OP PROGRAM POPULAR WITH STUDENTS AND EMPLOYERS
Co-op education is the only way to go says Janice Parker OAC 86 Her comment is reflective of the overall view held by co-op students and employers alike
The co-operative education proshygram which has been available to OAC students for the past five years formally integrates the students academic srudy with work experience in co-operating employer organishyzations Usually the student alternates four months ofsoldywith four months of work in the agricultu ral industry directly related to his or her field of study
The co-op program provided me with invaluable work experience in the food science field This experience also enabled me to get an overseas job (through an international exshychange association ) inmy field says Janice who worked as a research assistant in an alcohol company in Finland
Janice says the practical lessons learned on work tenus made classshyroom theory easier to understand She also says the co-op program gave her the benefits of increased selfshyconfidence and the ability to present herse lf well at a job interview Employment interviews generally occur on campus in the middle of the academic term preceding each work semester The interviews are comshypetitive in nature as are the salaries paid by employers which usually average S 1100-$ 1500 per month
Kenda Allen OAC 86 says the coshyop program definitely helps with finances Besides earning money you only pay for four months of your education at a time
While in the program Kenda worked terms as a fieldperson with the Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation as a horse show entry clerk with the Royal Wi nter fair and as a rural organization specialist assistant with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food She now works full-time as associate editor of the
Canadian Ay rshire Review which promotes the Ayrshire breed
My experience in the co-op program helped me obtain obtain my present job I al 0 made contacts which w ill continue to benefi t my career says Kenda
By working at a variety of jobs Kenda explains she was able to narrow down her options and fi nd the correct path to take
Kenda says she also enjoyed the break from the books every four months which allowed her to apply what she was learning
Equally Enthusiastic Employers are equally enthusiastic
about the program Paul Nelson OAC 70 MA 72 vice-preSident of manufacturing and technical services at Corporate Foods in Toronto participated in earlyplanning scssions for the co-op program He cant understand why anyone would not choose the p rogram and feels that ifit had been available when he was a student it would have been very beneficial to him
Paul says the program gives students and employers a chance to assess one another during a fXed time-frame If the students do well he says his company is committed to hiring them on a permanent basis when the opportunity arises We always tell them to keep in touch he says We have found Guelph sOldents to be eager capable and adaptable
Doug Flint OAC 85 who spent two work terms with Corporate Foods was hired permanently as a quality assurance and sanitation supervisor In his case the program came full circle when he hired Guelph co-op student Brenda Ternyik as his assistant last summer and Kelly Newell OAC 82 as his permanenr assistant recently
Doug says the program is a good method of screening for both students and employers It helped me decide what [ did and did not want to do career-wise and it set me up for a
permanent job The company in rum was hiring someone they already knew something about
Suzanne Raymond OAC 77 a research and development manager with Pillsbury Canada Ltd in Toronto says her company has hired many coshyop students as research and developshyment technicians Since product development is seasonal the four month time-frame for work terms is especially suitable for Pillsbury Students undertake short-term proshyjects where it would be uneconomical to hire full-time employees
Suzanne says Pillsbury originally got involved with the co-op program from a recruiting standpoint It gives us exposure to the students and we can test how well they work she says It also gives us exposure to I what is happening at the University in terms of research and the food industry
Suzanne says another benefit is the freshness and vitality students bring with them to the job She has found them on the whole to be very good workers
Louis Paul Ricard a manager with Cargill Ltd a grain company that services both domestic and export markets says the co-op program gives his company a good idea of the calibre of student coming out of university today The work they do is a real contribution to the company as well
Cargills first co-op student Don foster OAC 86 has been hired full shytime as a grain merchant While on work terms with CargiU he had jobs in both Ontario and Alberta Don says an advantage of the co-op program is the opportunity to live and work in different areas of the country
Cargill also hired the co -op programs first crop science graduate John Ormrod OAC 85 who now works in Saskatchewan

MILESTONE CE EBRATION FOR OVC
With a flourish of kilts and bagshypipes OVC began celebrating its 125th birthday February 12 The COllege is the oldest veterinary school in continuous operation in North and South America
A special lecture by eminent Scotshytish scientist Dr WilJiam FH Jarrett whose work pioneered AIDS research commemorated the founding of the College and the unique contributions of the veterinary medical profession in the advancement of scientific knowledge and disease control
Dr Jarrett of the University of Glasgow Veterinary School gave a public lecture Vacdnation Against Retroviruses From FAIDS to AIDS His work on Feline Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (FAIDS) has been the basis for subsequent research into AIDS
Dr jarretts lecture took place in War Memorial Hall exactly 125 years after OVCs inaugural address was delivered in Toronto by another Scotsman founder Andrew Smith
Dr Smi th a graduate of the Edinburgh School of Veterinary Medicine was brought to Toronto by the Board of Agriculture of Upper Canada to open a veterinary practice and provide instruction He operated the school under private charter in Toronto until 1908 when it became aftlliated with the University of Toronto nle College moved to Guelph in 1922 becoming a coshyoperative neighbor for the OAC The two later joined with Macdonald Institute to become the founding Colleges of the University of Guelph in 1964
Since the issue of Dr Smiths charshyter the College has contributed substantially to the improvement of public health says OVC Dean Ole Nielsen College faculty were instrushymenta] in the development of milkshytesting programs for mastitis and were involved in the livestock vaccination and testing programs that led to the elimination of tuberculosis and brucellosis in humans and animals
In keeping with the Scottish theme Dr Dean Percy ave 57 MSc 66 a professor in the Department OfPathology piped Dr William PH Jarrett into War Memorial Hall for his special lecture February 12 Also in the procession were President Burt Matthews ave Dean Ole Nielsen specially invited ave retirees andplatform guests (Photo by Tim Sullivan)
They were pioneers in domestic ani shymal surgery and among the first veterinarians to adopt modem surgical techniques Faculty researchers also perfected techniques for the artificial insemination ofdairy cattle and swine and for freezing bull semen
Researdl efforts have continually expanded in areas of comparative medicine where human and vetershyinary medicine cross paths The College is now at the forefront of research on organ transplants and bone surgery and research is proshyceeding in other areas of potential benefit to human medicine including genetically engineered vaccines and cancer research
Each year thousands ofanimals are brought to the ColJege for study and treatment The 2000 patients treated at the large animal clinic last year included an elephant a kangaroo and a gnu Almost 8000 animals visited the small animal clinic and more than 16000 farm animals - mostly cattle
- were seen in the ambulatory clinics herd health program The Colleges wild bird clinic is the only one of its kind in Canada
OVCs department of patholOgy is the Norlh American centre for reshysearch on marine animals and the Canadian centre for diagnostic expershytise in fish pathology The College is closely affiliated with the new Guelph Centre for Equine Research
OVCs influence on the intershynational scene has been substantial Students comefrom around the world (0 study at the undergraduate gradshyuate and post-graduate levels In 1974 the College joined the Canadian international Development Agency in establishing a veterinary school in Malaysia the first in southeast Asia
Celebrations for OVCs 125th birthday will continue throughout the year A highlight onJune 19 is the official opening of the Colleges new Sl35-million large animal faCility

PROGRAM AIMS TO ATTRACT BRIGHTEST STUDENTS
By Sandra Couch Public Relations and Information
The Universitys share of the best and brightest first-year students in the physical sciences could well increase with the introduction of a challenging interdisciplinary one-year pilot project called MPC2 (for Mathematics-Physics-Chemistry-Comshyputing Science ) says Professor Ernie McFarland Physics
Professor McFarland chairman of the CPS interdiSciplinary curriculum committee says the basic introductory courses now in place were designed to serve all tbe students in classes that often reach 300 in size Very bright students the committee found were not as stimulated as they could have been
With the courses as they werewe were not attracting the quantity or quality of students we hoped in areas like physics chemistry and bioshychemistry mathematiCs statistics and computing science says Professor McFarland
The committee has designed a number of new first-year courses which require a minimum average of 80 per cent for admission The courses will combine mathematics physics chemistry and computing and are structured to foster a better appreshyciation of the inter-connections between the disCiplines says Professor McFarland The more challenging courses will also enable bright highly qualified and motivated students to choose one or two additional elective courses in their first year
Professor McFarland admits the project is a departure from the usual departmental philosophy and says the one-year trial period will allow CPS to crawl before we walk He says a successful evaluation at the end of the trial period could lead to possible joint degrees in the areas of physics and chemistry or mathematics and computing
It could well be the first stage for a number of other interdisciplinary ventures in the College beyond the
first -year level says Professor Mcfarland
Acting CPS Dean Rod Gentry says the new intensive program will likely attrlct more of the best students to Guelph because in the sciences the best stude nts are very selective consumers Theyre looking for the best program while theyre still in high school
Former CPS Dean now Vice-President AcademicjackMacDonald conceived MPCZ because he believed that the way physical sciences were
being taught was historical and antiquated He says the departmental divisions in universities are almost tribal in nature and often lead to an arbitrary and artificial division of subject matter
Professor MacDonald says MPCZ which will be offered for the first time in September is consistent with the Universitys aims and objectives and is also consistent with the learning objectives in that it takes a holistic viewpoint in the teaching and learning of the material
GLASSBLOWE RHONORED Unive rSity glassblower Anne Hostetter has been honored by the American Scientific Glassblowers Society (ASGS) in Cincinnati Ohio for her paper Quartz EPR Flat Cel The Fischer and Porter Company of Pennsylvania offers the annual Kermit-Fischer Award in recognition of the best paper presented at the previous years symposium
The paper is selected by a jury from the ASGS on the basis of content app li cat ion presentat ion style graphics use and text
A quartz EPR flat cell is a difficult piece of glassware to make Ms Hostetter says but it is useful in EPR spectroscopy because it allows the 5anlple to be pOSitioned in the densest part of the magnetic field without interfe rence from the electric component of the rad iation
Ms Hostetter has used the techshynique described in her paper sucshycessfully for eight to nine years She forms the flat sides of the cell from two pieces of quartz glass with bevelled edges When spaced proshyperly the bevelled glass forms a V into which a length ofquartz piping is fitted and melted to seal the edges The standard spacing between the two pieces of flat glass is 25 mm
although she has made cells as small as 12 mm and as large as I mm
A 25-minute educaHonal videotape about the technique described in Ms Hostetters paper is available through the ASGS

WOMEN IN SCIENCE GATHER
About 80 women gathered on campus in February to hear Dr Lynda Pinnington talk about career planning forwomen in science Dr Pinnjngton beads Pinn ington Associates of Cambridge a consulting firm that focuses on applied productivity improvement techniques for business and industry Discussants for the careers night were Brenda Bonnett OVC 79 a PhD sludent in the Department of Veterinary Micro shybiology and Immunology and Jan Kaufman Library who is on the Preshysidents Advisory Council day care task force
This was the second event planned by an informal group of women scienshytists at Guelph Professors Susan Mclver chair of the Department of Enviro nmenta l Bio logy Mary Beverley-Burton Zoology and Janet Wood Chemistry and Biochemistry have been the moving forces behind this organization which has blosshysomed into a nucleus of about a dozen women representing aU the science colleges at Guelph They say the groups purpose is to increase awareness of the role of women in science and the opportunities and obstacles they may encounter The group also encourages informal netshyworking and social contacts
Weve avoided creating a formal structure Professor McIver says Meetings are held on an irregular basis and there are no official officers
In addition to offering careers nights the group has compiled a list of women in science at Guelph using the criteria ofa degree in science and employment at the University
Questions raised by the group re shysulted in the updating of the 1975 report of the Presidents Task Force on the status of women at the ni shyversity which led to the formation of the Presidents Advisory Committee on Equal Rights for Men and Women at the University of Guelph This committee chaired by Professor McIver will release a report this spring

OAC GRADUATE WRITES FROM MOZAMBIQUE
Ruth Beilin born and raised in Guelph graduated jromjohn F Ross C VI and earned a BA and a Dipshyloma in Agriculture She worked at the University and in Saskatchewan before going to Papua New Guinea with CUSO as an agricultural extension worker There she met her husband an Australian lawyer who was working in rural development After two years in New Guinea she attended Reading University in England and received an MSc in Agriculture Extension She joinedher husband in Australia and together they apPlied to work on anAustralian government project in Mozambique This is the first ofher letters (written in the summer Of 1986) on life and development in that war-torn country Ruth can be contacted at the follOwing address CAA cP 356 Maputo Mozambique
Life in Mozambique is a series of contrasts and challenges The area where we live is a fertile coastal strip that has been cultivated for at least 50 years - some parts longer Coconut palms wave in the breeze - their languid trunks arching over the dense foliage of the cashew trees planted between their rows The latifundia system practised by the Portuguese meant that as a rule local families had less than two hectares each of usually marginal land to farm for subsistence purposltS and that generally they could not grow permanent tree crops on these family spaces Therefore the wealth from these crops remained with the colonial farmers
Today the state is just beginning a large land reform program What it will mean in real terms is difficult to assess given the huge numbers of dislocated families from the interior dry areas and more desperate war zones The theory is that these families will be able to return to their own farm lands and accumulate more land there assuming that the war and
Ruth Beilin OAC 74
these years of drought and fanline will soon be over
The Mozambicans survive on their abilities as farmers The suffering and deprivation have made them strong conservationists sensitive to their crops and soils But some of the obstacles they face are overwhelming - broken (Ools scarce seed loss of animals Everything is a struggle
Village meetings are stimulating and full of lengthy debate Storyshytelling animation dancing and singing form an important part of the culture The present govenunent has used these means (0 awaken a political consciousness among the people who tend to be passive and accept their circumstances
Our group is not radical but we are different and perhaps threatening to this passivity Mozambicans are tired from hard work long years of fighting a declining economy and many reorganizations of agricultural policy We talk about self-sufficiency (which translated means more work) We talk about development but in agricultural terms offer no pesticides (except naturally occuring ones) import no tractors or cultivators and generally seem to be less modern than the Portuguese who left ten years ago We are not just talking
about rehabilitation but a whole developmental philosophy which is distinct from the projects of other development agencies in nearby districts Although the communities we work in agree that the long-term benefits are valid they must wonder when life is going to become easier
Through all this nms the struggle in southern Africa - the link between the apartheid regime in South Africa and the war in Mozanlbique and indeed in aU the frontline states This war destabilizes the countryside and terrorizes the people rfhe longer we live here and witness this nightmare the more we realize that the end of the war will not be because of things or people in Mozambique This is a war supported by the foreign policies of the West Countries that continue to support South Africa give strength to the South African economy strength that is translated into soldiers anlIDunition supplies and support for the bandidosannados - the armed bandits fighting FREUMO the legal Mozambican govenunent
I could weep when President Reagan says the American support for Jonas Savimbi against the Angolan government and Americas refusal to impose sanctions on South Africa maintains the balance of power between East and West He should stand on the ground where the price is being paid and teU the mourning villagers the dying and the maimed that the world is a better place for this carnage and that the chess games ofthe big men are the real value of human life
Many other countries play sinillar ifsmaller or less direct roles with the future ofsouthern Africa The tragedy of this land is the riches and vast potent ial which attract olltside interest and cost it dearly in ternlS of human resources
James and I first heard about the Rural Development Project in August 1984 when we were working for Community Aid Abroad (CAA) in
24
Australia At that time there was optimism about Mozambique The Nkomati Peace Accord was to end South Mrkas support for the bandits in exchange for diminished support from Mozambique for the African National Congress The project was to be an integrated rural development scheme in health water and agrishyculture
But the war has not ended and it is a constant stumbling block to all aspirations and plans not to mention wearing on ones spirit Still that potential and challenge are alluring and we plod on down the developshyment road trying to build up organization and infrastructure Waiting for the day when things may normalize (After 10 years of war what is normal)
We arrived in Mozambique in April 1985 with James as project director and me as agriculturalist The health team ( a midwife and doctor ) and the community development worker arrived in late August and the water engineer in January 1986 The six of us live on the project site in a nleal district centre The official language is Portuguese and our official work is in that language However the people generally speak their own languages and so communication below the official level continues to be difficult Still they are very patient with our attempts to communicate and live in their communities
My own work is starting to become more visible Three agricultural technicians and I have organized a program of support for the fdmily sector in agriculture This is largely an education extension system that operates on three levels The first level consists of training zone representatives in practical demonshystrations ofagricultural techniques in their home area ( each zone has roughly 60 families and is represented by one man and woman chosen by their community) The zone reps are linked in training sessions and in countryside visits to the second level - an enquadradore who is basically the official link to the district agricultural system There are only five functioning enquadradores in a district of 110000 or more people so we had pound0 create the agricultural reps to make the enquadradores task possible The training program for the enquadradores is critically important because they have no agriculturaJ background but must collect and transmit agricultural information The third level is the agricultural technicians themselves These young counterparts are likely to be the directors and administrators of the future They are also the direct teaching link to the people
After months of meetings and discussions at every level of village and district structure we swung into operation with the agriculture reps
program and the horticultural crops campaign ThankfuUy some of the long-awaited tools - hoes bush knives and seeds - also arrived It is too early to know what the results might be but we are optimistic that with good rains and no bandits family sector food production will show an improvement this ftest season
James gets the thankless task of organizing logistics supplies deleshygations and the endless bookwork Often caught in the middle of our demands the reali ty of the Australian budget and the nightmare of transshyporting difficult ies he somehow remains Cltllm and diplomatic He spends three weeks in the project office in the district centre at the site and the fourth is spent in the capital Mapmo at the CAA office
Our daughter Leah makes a huge differe n ce to our lives The MozambiGms are enchanted by her James is known as the husband of the mother of the baby I am known as the mother of the baby and Leah is known by her own name throughout the area She comes out with me mornings and spends afternoons with James in the office
As always 1 necd to say morc than there is time for My hope is that this letter wi ll personalize what is happening in southern Africa so that more support will come to stop the war and the terrible sadness all around this region

OAC CO-OP PROGRAM POPULAR WITH STUDENTS AND EMPLOYERS
Co-op education is the only way to go says Janice Parker OAC 86 Her comment is reflective of the overall view held by co-op students and employers alike
The co-operative education proshygram which has been available to OAC students for the past five years formally integrates the students academic srudy with work experience in co-operating employer organishyzations Usually the student alternates four months ofsoldywith four months of work in the agricultu ral industry directly related to his or her field of study
The co-op program provided me with invaluable work experience in the food science field This experience also enabled me to get an overseas job (through an international exshychange association ) inmy field says Janice who worked as a research assistant in an alcohol company in Finland
Janice says the practical lessons learned on work tenus made classshyroom theory easier to understand She also says the co-op program gave her the benefits of increased selfshyconfidence and the ability to present herse lf well at a job interview Employment interviews generally occur on campus in the middle of the academic term preceding each work semester The interviews are comshypetitive in nature as are the salaries paid by employers which usually average S 1100-$ 1500 per month
Kenda Allen OAC 86 says the coshyop program definitely helps with finances Besides earning money you only pay for four months of your education at a time
While in the program Kenda worked terms as a fieldperson with the Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation as a horse show entry clerk with the Royal Wi nter fair and as a rural organization specialist assistant with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food She now works full-time as associate editor of the
Canadian Ay rshire Review which promotes the Ayrshire breed
My experience in the co-op program helped me obtain obtain my present job I al 0 made contacts which w ill continue to benefi t my career says Kenda
By working at a variety of jobs Kenda explains she was able to narrow down her options and fi nd the correct path to take
Kenda says she also enjoyed the break from the books every four months which allowed her to apply what she was learning
Equally Enthusiastic Employers are equally enthusiastic
about the program Paul Nelson OAC 70 MA 72 vice-preSident of manufacturing and technical services at Corporate Foods in Toronto participated in earlyplanning scssions for the co-op program He cant understand why anyone would not choose the p rogram and feels that ifit had been available when he was a student it would have been very beneficial to him
Paul says the program gives students and employers a chance to assess one another during a fXed time-frame If the students do well he says his company is committed to hiring them on a permanent basis when the opportunity arises We always tell them to keep in touch he says We have found Guelph sOldents to be eager capable and adaptable
Doug Flint OAC 85 who spent two work terms with Corporate Foods was hired permanently as a quality assurance and sanitation supervisor In his case the program came full circle when he hired Guelph co-op student Brenda Ternyik as his assistant last summer and Kelly Newell OAC 82 as his permanenr assistant recently
Doug says the program is a good method of screening for both students and employers It helped me decide what [ did and did not want to do career-wise and it set me up for a
permanent job The company in rum was hiring someone they already knew something about
Suzanne Raymond OAC 77 a research and development manager with Pillsbury Canada Ltd in Toronto says her company has hired many coshyop students as research and developshyment technicians Since product development is seasonal the four month time-frame for work terms is especially suitable for Pillsbury Students undertake short-term proshyjects where it would be uneconomical to hire full-time employees
Suzanne says Pillsbury originally got involved with the co-op program from a recruiting standpoint It gives us exposure to the students and we can test how well they work she says It also gives us exposure to I what is happening at the University in terms of research and the food industry
Suzanne says another benefit is the freshness and vitality students bring with them to the job She has found them on the whole to be very good workers
Louis Paul Ricard a manager with Cargill Ltd a grain company that services both domestic and export markets says the co-op program gives his company a good idea of the calibre of student coming out of university today The work they do is a real contribution to the company as well
Cargills first co-op student Don foster OAC 86 has been hired full shytime as a grain merchant While on work terms with CargiU he had jobs in both Ontario and Alberta Don says an advantage of the co-op program is the opportunity to live and work in different areas of the country
Cargill also hired the co -op programs first crop science graduate John Ormrod OAC 85 who now works in Saskatchewan

MILESTONE CE EBRATION FOR OVC
With a flourish of kilts and bagshypipes OVC began celebrating its 125th birthday February 12 The COllege is the oldest veterinary school in continuous operation in North and South America
A special lecture by eminent Scotshytish scientist Dr WilJiam FH Jarrett whose work pioneered AIDS research commemorated the founding of the College and the unique contributions of the veterinary medical profession in the advancement of scientific knowledge and disease control
Dr Jarrett of the University of Glasgow Veterinary School gave a public lecture Vacdnation Against Retroviruses From FAIDS to AIDS His work on Feline Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (FAIDS) has been the basis for subsequent research into AIDS
Dr jarretts lecture took place in War Memorial Hall exactly 125 years after OVCs inaugural address was delivered in Toronto by another Scotsman founder Andrew Smith
Dr Smi th a graduate of the Edinburgh School of Veterinary Medicine was brought to Toronto by the Board of Agriculture of Upper Canada to open a veterinary practice and provide instruction He operated the school under private charter in Toronto until 1908 when it became aftlliated with the University of Toronto nle College moved to Guelph in 1922 becoming a coshyoperative neighbor for the OAC The two later joined with Macdonald Institute to become the founding Colleges of the University of Guelph in 1964
Since the issue of Dr Smiths charshyter the College has contributed substantially to the improvement of public health says OVC Dean Ole Nielsen College faculty were instrushymenta] in the development of milkshytesting programs for mastitis and were involved in the livestock vaccination and testing programs that led to the elimination of tuberculosis and brucellosis in humans and animals
In keeping with the Scottish theme Dr Dean Percy ave 57 MSc 66 a professor in the Department OfPathology piped Dr William PH Jarrett into War Memorial Hall for his special lecture February 12 Also in the procession were President Burt Matthews ave Dean Ole Nielsen specially invited ave retirees andplatform guests (Photo by Tim Sullivan)
They were pioneers in domestic ani shymal surgery and among the first veterinarians to adopt modem surgical techniques Faculty researchers also perfected techniques for the artificial insemination ofdairy cattle and swine and for freezing bull semen
Researdl efforts have continually expanded in areas of comparative medicine where human and vetershyinary medicine cross paths The College is now at the forefront of research on organ transplants and bone surgery and research is proshyceeding in other areas of potential benefit to human medicine including genetically engineered vaccines and cancer research
Each year thousands ofanimals are brought to the ColJege for study and treatment The 2000 patients treated at the large animal clinic last year included an elephant a kangaroo and a gnu Almost 8000 animals visited the small animal clinic and more than 16000 farm animals - mostly cattle
- were seen in the ambulatory clinics herd health program The Colleges wild bird clinic is the only one of its kind in Canada
OVCs department of patholOgy is the Norlh American centre for reshysearch on marine animals and the Canadian centre for diagnostic expershytise in fish pathology The College is closely affiliated with the new Guelph Centre for Equine Research
OVCs influence on the intershynational scene has been substantial Students comefrom around the world (0 study at the undergraduate gradshyuate and post-graduate levels In 1974 the College joined the Canadian international Development Agency in establishing a veterinary school in Malaysia the first in southeast Asia
Celebrations for OVCs 125th birthday will continue throughout the year A highlight onJune 19 is the official opening of the Colleges new Sl35-million large animal faCility

PROGRAM AIMS TO ATTRACT BRIGHTEST STUDENTS
By Sandra Couch Public Relations and Information
The Universitys share of the best and brightest first-year students in the physical sciences could well increase with the introduction of a challenging interdisciplinary one-year pilot project called MPC2 (for Mathematics-Physics-Chemistry-Comshyputing Science ) says Professor Ernie McFarland Physics
Professor McFarland chairman of the CPS interdiSciplinary curriculum committee says the basic introductory courses now in place were designed to serve all tbe students in classes that often reach 300 in size Very bright students the committee found were not as stimulated as they could have been
With the courses as they werewe were not attracting the quantity or quality of students we hoped in areas like physics chemistry and bioshychemistry mathematiCs statistics and computing science says Professor McFarland
The committee has designed a number of new first-year courses which require a minimum average of 80 per cent for admission The courses will combine mathematics physics chemistry and computing and are structured to foster a better appreshyciation of the inter-connections between the disCiplines says Professor McFarland The more challenging courses will also enable bright highly qualified and motivated students to choose one or two additional elective courses in their first year
Professor McFarland admits the project is a departure from the usual departmental philosophy and says the one-year trial period will allow CPS to crawl before we walk He says a successful evaluation at the end of the trial period could lead to possible joint degrees in the areas of physics and chemistry or mathematics and computing
It could well be the first stage for a number of other interdisciplinary ventures in the College beyond the
first -year level says Professor Mcfarland
Acting CPS Dean Rod Gentry says the new intensive program will likely attrlct more of the best students to Guelph because in the sciences the best stude nts are very selective consumers Theyre looking for the best program while theyre still in high school
Former CPS Dean now Vice-President AcademicjackMacDonald conceived MPCZ because he believed that the way physical sciences were
being taught was historical and antiquated He says the departmental divisions in universities are almost tribal in nature and often lead to an arbitrary and artificial division of subject matter
Professor MacDonald says MPCZ which will be offered for the first time in September is consistent with the Universitys aims and objectives and is also consistent with the learning objectives in that it takes a holistic viewpoint in the teaching and learning of the material

The paper is selected by a jury from the ASGS on the basis of content app li cat ion presentat ion style graphics use and text
A quartz EPR flat cell is a difficult piece of glassware to make Ms Hostetter says but it is useful in EPR spectroscopy because it allows the 5anlple to be pOSitioned in the densest part of the magnetic field without interfe rence from the electric component of the rad iation
Ms Hostetter has used the techshynique described in her paper sucshycessfully for eight to nine years She forms the flat sides of the cell from two pieces of quartz glass with bevelled edges When spaced proshyperly the bevelled glass forms a V into which a length ofquartz piping is fitted and melted to seal the edges The standard spacing between the two pieces of flat glass is 25 mm
although she has made cells as small as 12 mm and as large as I mm
A 25-minute educaHonal videotape about the technique described in Ms Hostetters paper is available through the ASGS

WOMEN IN SCIENCE GATHER
About 80 women gathered on campus in February to hear Dr Lynda Pinnington talk about career planning forwomen in science Dr Pinnjngton beads Pinn ington Associates of Cambridge a consulting firm that focuses on applied productivity improvement techniques for business and industry Discussants for the careers night were Brenda Bonnett OVC 79 a PhD sludent in the Department of Veterinary Micro shybiology and Immunology and Jan Kaufman Library who is on the Preshysidents Advisory Council day care task force
This was the second event planned by an informal group of women scienshytists at Guelph Professors Susan Mclver chair of the Department of Enviro nmenta l Bio logy Mary Beverley-Burton Zoology and Janet Wood Chemistry and Biochemistry have been the moving forces behind this organization which has blosshysomed into a nucleus of about a dozen women representing aU the science colleges at Guelph They say the groups purpose is to increase awareness of the role of women in science and the opportunities and obstacles they may encounter The group also encourages informal netshyworking and social contacts
Weve avoided creating a formal structure Professor McIver says Meetings are held on an irregular basis and there are no official officers
In addition to offering careers nights the group has compiled a list of women in science at Guelph using the criteria ofa degree in science and employment at the University
Questions raised by the group re shysulted in the updating of the 1975 report of the Presidents Task Force on the status of women at the ni shyversity which led to the formation of the Presidents Advisory Committee on Equal Rights for Men and Women at the University of Guelph This committee chaired by Professor McIver will release a report this spring

OAC GRADUATE WRITES FROM MOZAMBIQUE
Ruth Beilin born and raised in Guelph graduated jromjohn F Ross C VI and earned a BA and a Dipshyloma in Agriculture She worked at the University and in Saskatchewan before going to Papua New Guinea with CUSO as an agricultural extension worker There she met her husband an Australian lawyer who was working in rural development After two years in New Guinea she attended Reading University in England and received an MSc in Agriculture Extension She joinedher husband in Australia and together they apPlied to work on anAustralian government project in Mozambique This is the first ofher letters (written in the summer Of 1986) on life and development in that war-torn country Ruth can be contacted at the follOwing address CAA cP 356 Maputo Mozambique
Life in Mozambique is a series of contrasts and challenges The area where we live is a fertile coastal strip that has been cultivated for at least 50 years - some parts longer Coconut palms wave in the breeze - their languid trunks arching over the dense foliage of the cashew trees planted between their rows The latifundia system practised by the Portuguese meant that as a rule local families had less than two hectares each of usually marginal land to farm for subsistence purposltS and that generally they could not grow permanent tree crops on these family spaces Therefore the wealth from these crops remained with the colonial farmers
Today the state is just beginning a large land reform program What it will mean in real terms is difficult to assess given the huge numbers of dislocated families from the interior dry areas and more desperate war zones The theory is that these families will be able to return to their own farm lands and accumulate more land there assuming that the war and
Ruth Beilin OAC 74
these years of drought and fanline will soon be over
The Mozambicans survive on their abilities as farmers The suffering and deprivation have made them strong conservationists sensitive to their crops and soils But some of the obstacles they face are overwhelming - broken (Ools scarce seed loss of animals Everything is a struggle
Village meetings are stimulating and full of lengthy debate Storyshytelling animation dancing and singing form an important part of the culture The present govenunent has used these means (0 awaken a political consciousness among the people who tend to be passive and accept their circumstances
Our group is not radical but we are different and perhaps threatening to this passivity Mozambicans are tired from hard work long years of fighting a declining economy and many reorganizations of agricultural policy We talk about self-sufficiency (which translated means more work) We talk about development but in agricultural terms offer no pesticides (except naturally occuring ones) import no tractors or cultivators and generally seem to be less modern than the Portuguese who left ten years ago We are not just talking
about rehabilitation but a whole developmental philosophy which is distinct from the projects of other development agencies in nearby districts Although the communities we work in agree that the long-term benefits are valid they must wonder when life is going to become easier
Through all this nms the struggle in southern Africa - the link between the apartheid regime in South Africa and the war in Mozanlbique and indeed in aU the frontline states This war destabilizes the countryside and terrorizes the people rfhe longer we live here and witness this nightmare the more we realize that the end of the war will not be because of things or people in Mozambique This is a war supported by the foreign policies of the West Countries that continue to support South Africa give strength to the South African economy strength that is translated into soldiers anlIDunition supplies and support for the bandidosannados - the armed bandits fighting FREUMO the legal Mozambican govenunent
I could weep when President Reagan says the American support for Jonas Savimbi against the Angolan government and Americas refusal to impose sanctions on South Africa maintains the balance of power between East and West He should stand on the ground where the price is being paid and teU the mourning villagers the dying and the maimed that the world is a better place for this carnage and that the chess games ofthe big men are the real value of human life
Many other countries play sinillar ifsmaller or less direct roles with the future ofsouthern Africa The tragedy of this land is the riches and vast potent ial which attract olltside interest and cost it dearly in ternlS of human resources
James and I first heard about the Rural Development Project in August 1984 when we were working for Community Aid Abroad (CAA) in
24
Australia At that time there was optimism about Mozambique The Nkomati Peace Accord was to end South Mrkas support for the bandits in exchange for diminished support from Mozambique for the African National Congress The project was to be an integrated rural development scheme in health water and agrishyculture
But the war has not ended and it is a constant stumbling block to all aspirations and plans not to mention wearing on ones spirit Still that potential and challenge are alluring and we plod on down the developshyment road trying to build up organization and infrastructure Waiting for the day when things may normalize (After 10 years of war what is normal)
We arrived in Mozambique in April 1985 with James as project director and me as agriculturalist The health team ( a midwife and doctor ) and the community development worker arrived in late August and the water engineer in January 1986 The six of us live on the project site in a nleal district centre The official language is Portuguese and our official work is in that language However the people generally speak their own languages and so communication below the official level continues to be difficult Still they are very patient with our attempts to communicate and live in their communities
My own work is starting to become more visible Three agricultural technicians and I have organized a program of support for the fdmily sector in agriculture This is largely an education extension system that operates on three levels The first level consists of training zone representatives in practical demonshystrations ofagricultural techniques in their home area ( each zone has roughly 60 families and is represented by one man and woman chosen by their community) The zone reps are linked in training sessions and in countryside visits to the second level - an enquadradore who is basically the official link to the district agricultural system There are only five functioning enquadradores in a district of 110000 or more people so we had pound0 create the agricultural reps to make the enquadradores task possible The training program for the enquadradores is critically important because they have no agriculturaJ background but must collect and transmit agricultural information The third level is the agricultural technicians themselves These young counterparts are likely to be the directors and administrators of the future They are also the direct teaching link to the people
After months of meetings and discussions at every level of village and district structure we swung into operation with the agriculture reps
program and the horticultural crops campaign ThankfuUy some of the long-awaited tools - hoes bush knives and seeds - also arrived It is too early to know what the results might be but we are optimistic that with good rains and no bandits family sector food production will show an improvement this ftest season
James gets the thankless task of organizing logistics supplies deleshygations and the endless bookwork Often caught in the middle of our demands the reali ty of the Australian budget and the nightmare of transshyporting difficult ies he somehow remains Cltllm and diplomatic He spends three weeks in the project office in the district centre at the site and the fourth is spent in the capital Mapmo at the CAA office
Our daughter Leah makes a huge differe n ce to our lives The MozambiGms are enchanted by her James is known as the husband of the mother of the baby I am known as the mother of the baby and Leah is known by her own name throughout the area She comes out with me mornings and spends afternoons with James in the office
As always 1 necd to say morc than there is time for My hope is that this letter wi ll personalize what is happening in southern Africa so that more support will come to stop the war and the terrible sadness all around this region

OAC CO-OP PROGRAM POPULAR WITH STUDENTS AND EMPLOYERS
Co-op education is the only way to go says Janice Parker OAC 86 Her comment is reflective of the overall view held by co-op students and employers alike
The co-operative education proshygram which has been available to OAC students for the past five years formally integrates the students academic srudy with work experience in co-operating employer organishyzations Usually the student alternates four months ofsoldywith four months of work in the agricultu ral industry directly related to his or her field of study
The co-op program provided me with invaluable work experience in the food science field This experience also enabled me to get an overseas job (through an international exshychange association ) inmy field says Janice who worked as a research assistant in an alcohol company in Finland
Janice says the practical lessons learned on work tenus made classshyroom theory easier to understand She also says the co-op program gave her the benefits of increased selfshyconfidence and the ability to present herse lf well at a job interview Employment interviews generally occur on campus in the middle of the academic term preceding each work semester The interviews are comshypetitive in nature as are the salaries paid by employers which usually average S 1100-$ 1500 per month
Kenda Allen OAC 86 says the coshyop program definitely helps with finances Besides earning money you only pay for four months of your education at a time
While in the program Kenda worked terms as a fieldperson with the Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation as a horse show entry clerk with the Royal Wi nter fair and as a rural organization specialist assistant with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food She now works full-time as associate editor of the
Canadian Ay rshire Review which promotes the Ayrshire breed
My experience in the co-op program helped me obtain obtain my present job I al 0 made contacts which w ill continue to benefi t my career says Kenda
By working at a variety of jobs Kenda explains she was able to narrow down her options and fi nd the correct path to take
Kenda says she also enjoyed the break from the books every four months which allowed her to apply what she was learning
Equally Enthusiastic Employers are equally enthusiastic
about the program Paul Nelson OAC 70 MA 72 vice-preSident of manufacturing and technical services at Corporate Foods in Toronto participated in earlyplanning scssions for the co-op program He cant understand why anyone would not choose the p rogram and feels that ifit had been available when he was a student it would have been very beneficial to him
Paul says the program gives students and employers a chance to assess one another during a fXed time-frame If the students do well he says his company is committed to hiring them on a permanent basis when the opportunity arises We always tell them to keep in touch he says We have found Guelph sOldents to be eager capable and adaptable
Doug Flint OAC 85 who spent two work terms with Corporate Foods was hired permanently as a quality assurance and sanitation supervisor In his case the program came full circle when he hired Guelph co-op student Brenda Ternyik as his assistant last summer and Kelly Newell OAC 82 as his permanenr assistant recently
Doug says the program is a good method of screening for both students and employers It helped me decide what [ did and did not want to do career-wise and it set me up for a
permanent job The company in rum was hiring someone they already knew something about
Suzanne Raymond OAC 77 a research and development manager with Pillsbury Canada Ltd in Toronto says her company has hired many coshyop students as research and developshyment technicians Since product development is seasonal the four month time-frame for work terms is especially suitable for Pillsbury Students undertake short-term proshyjects where it would be uneconomical to hire full-time employees
Suzanne says Pillsbury originally got involved with the co-op program from a recruiting standpoint It gives us exposure to the students and we can test how well they work she says It also gives us exposure to I what is happening at the University in terms of research and the food industry
Suzanne says another benefit is the freshness and vitality students bring with them to the job She has found them on the whole to be very good workers
Louis Paul Ricard a manager with Cargill Ltd a grain company that services both domestic and export markets says the co-op program gives his company a good idea of the calibre of student coming out of university today The work they do is a real contribution to the company as well
Cargills first co-op student Don foster OAC 86 has been hired full shytime as a grain merchant While on work terms with CargiU he had jobs in both Ontario and Alberta Don says an advantage of the co-op program is the opportunity to live and work in different areas of the country
Cargill also hired the co -op programs first crop science graduate John Ormrod OAC 85 who now works in Saskatchewan

MILESTONE CE EBRATION FOR OVC
With a flourish of kilts and bagshypipes OVC began celebrating its 125th birthday February 12 The COllege is the oldest veterinary school in continuous operation in North and South America
A special lecture by eminent Scotshytish scientist Dr WilJiam FH Jarrett whose work pioneered AIDS research commemorated the founding of the College and the unique contributions of the veterinary medical profession in the advancement of scientific knowledge and disease control
Dr Jarrett of the University of Glasgow Veterinary School gave a public lecture Vacdnation Against Retroviruses From FAIDS to AIDS His work on Feline Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (FAIDS) has been the basis for subsequent research into AIDS
Dr jarretts lecture took place in War Memorial Hall exactly 125 years after OVCs inaugural address was delivered in Toronto by another Scotsman founder Andrew Smith
Dr Smi th a graduate of the Edinburgh School of Veterinary Medicine was brought to Toronto by the Board of Agriculture of Upper Canada to open a veterinary practice and provide instruction He operated the school under private charter in Toronto until 1908 when it became aftlliated with the University of Toronto nle College moved to Guelph in 1922 becoming a coshyoperative neighbor for the OAC The two later joined with Macdonald Institute to become the founding Colleges of the University of Guelph in 1964
Since the issue of Dr Smiths charshyter the College has contributed substantially to the improvement of public health says OVC Dean Ole Nielsen College faculty were instrushymenta] in the development of milkshytesting programs for mastitis and were involved in the livestock vaccination and testing programs that led to the elimination of tuberculosis and brucellosis in humans and animals
In keeping with the Scottish theme Dr Dean Percy ave 57 MSc 66 a professor in the Department OfPathology piped Dr William PH Jarrett into War Memorial Hall for his special lecture February 12 Also in the procession were President Burt Matthews ave Dean Ole Nielsen specially invited ave retirees andplatform guests (Photo by Tim Sullivan)
They were pioneers in domestic ani shymal surgery and among the first veterinarians to adopt modem surgical techniques Faculty researchers also perfected techniques for the artificial insemination ofdairy cattle and swine and for freezing bull semen
Researdl efforts have continually expanded in areas of comparative medicine where human and vetershyinary medicine cross paths The College is now at the forefront of research on organ transplants and bone surgery and research is proshyceeding in other areas of potential benefit to human medicine including genetically engineered vaccines and cancer research
Each year thousands ofanimals are brought to the ColJege for study and treatment The 2000 patients treated at the large animal clinic last year included an elephant a kangaroo and a gnu Almost 8000 animals visited the small animal clinic and more than 16000 farm animals - mostly cattle
- were seen in the ambulatory clinics herd health program The Colleges wild bird clinic is the only one of its kind in Canada
OVCs department of patholOgy is the Norlh American centre for reshysearch on marine animals and the Canadian centre for diagnostic expershytise in fish pathology The College is closely affiliated with the new Guelph Centre for Equine Research
OVCs influence on the intershynational scene has been substantial Students comefrom around the world (0 study at the undergraduate gradshyuate and post-graduate levels In 1974 the College joined the Canadian international Development Agency in establishing a veterinary school in Malaysia the first in southeast Asia
Celebrations for OVCs 125th birthday will continue throughout the year A highlight onJune 19 is the official opening of the Colleges new Sl35-million large animal faCility

PROGRAM AIMS TO ATTRACT BRIGHTEST STUDENTS
By Sandra Couch Public Relations and Information
The Universitys share of the best and brightest first-year students in the physical sciences could well increase with the introduction of a challenging interdisciplinary one-year pilot project called MPC2 (for Mathematics-Physics-Chemistry-Comshyputing Science ) says Professor Ernie McFarland Physics
Professor McFarland chairman of the CPS interdiSciplinary curriculum committee says the basic introductory courses now in place were designed to serve all tbe students in classes that often reach 300 in size Very bright students the committee found were not as stimulated as they could have been
With the courses as they werewe were not attracting the quantity or quality of students we hoped in areas like physics chemistry and bioshychemistry mathematiCs statistics and computing science says Professor McFarland
The committee has designed a number of new first-year courses which require a minimum average of 80 per cent for admission The courses will combine mathematics physics chemistry and computing and are structured to foster a better appreshyciation of the inter-connections between the disCiplines says Professor McFarland The more challenging courses will also enable bright highly qualified and motivated students to choose one or two additional elective courses in their first year
Professor McFarland admits the project is a departure from the usual departmental philosophy and says the one-year trial period will allow CPS to crawl before we walk He says a successful evaluation at the end of the trial period could lead to possible joint degrees in the areas of physics and chemistry or mathematics and computing
It could well be the first stage for a number of other interdisciplinary ventures in the College beyond the
first -year level says Professor Mcfarland
Acting CPS Dean Rod Gentry says the new intensive program will likely attrlct more of the best students to Guelph because in the sciences the best stude nts are very selective consumers Theyre looking for the best program while theyre still in high school
Former CPS Dean now Vice-President AcademicjackMacDonald conceived MPCZ because he believed that the way physical sciences were
being taught was historical and antiquated He says the departmental divisions in universities are almost tribal in nature and often lead to an arbitrary and artificial division of subject matter
Professor MacDonald says MPCZ which will be offered for the first time in September is consistent with the Universitys aims and objectives and is also consistent with the learning objectives in that it takes a holistic viewpoint in the teaching and learning of the material
GLASSBLOWE RHONORED Unive rSity glassblower Anne Hostetter has been honored by the American Scientific Glassblowers Society (ASGS) in Cincinnati Ohio for her paper Quartz EPR Flat Cel The Fischer and Porter Company of Pennsylvania offers the annual Kermit-Fischer Award in recognition of the best paper presented at the previous years symposium
The paper is selected by a jury from the ASGS on the basis of content app li cat ion presentat ion style graphics use and text
A quartz EPR flat cell is a difficult piece of glassware to make Ms Hostetter says but it is useful in EPR spectroscopy because it allows the 5anlple to be pOSitioned in the densest part of the magnetic field without interfe rence from the electric component of the rad iation
Ms Hostetter has used the techshynique described in her paper sucshycessfully for eight to nine years She forms the flat sides of the cell from two pieces of quartz glass with bevelled edges When spaced proshyperly the bevelled glass forms a V into which a length ofquartz piping is fitted and melted to seal the edges The standard spacing between the two pieces of flat glass is 25 mm
although she has made cells as small as 12 mm and as large as I mm
A 25-minute educaHonal videotape about the technique described in Ms Hostetters paper is available through the ASGS

WOMEN IN SCIENCE GATHER
About 80 women gathered on campus in February to hear Dr Lynda Pinnington talk about career planning forwomen in science Dr Pinnjngton beads Pinn ington Associates of Cambridge a consulting firm that focuses on applied productivity improvement techniques for business and industry Discussants for the careers night were Brenda Bonnett OVC 79 a PhD sludent in the Department of Veterinary Micro shybiology and Immunology and Jan Kaufman Library who is on the Preshysidents Advisory Council day care task force
This was the second event planned by an informal group of women scienshytists at Guelph Professors Susan Mclver chair of the Department of Enviro nmenta l Bio logy Mary Beverley-Burton Zoology and Janet Wood Chemistry and Biochemistry have been the moving forces behind this organization which has blosshysomed into a nucleus of about a dozen women representing aU the science colleges at Guelph They say the groups purpose is to increase awareness of the role of women in science and the opportunities and obstacles they may encounter The group also encourages informal netshyworking and social contacts
Weve avoided creating a formal structure Professor McIver says Meetings are held on an irregular basis and there are no official officers
In addition to offering careers nights the group has compiled a list of women in science at Guelph using the criteria ofa degree in science and employment at the University
Questions raised by the group re shysulted in the updating of the 1975 report of the Presidents Task Force on the status of women at the ni shyversity which led to the formation of the Presidents Advisory Committee on Equal Rights for Men and Women at the University of Guelph This committee chaired by Professor McIver will release a report this spring

OAC GRADUATE WRITES FROM MOZAMBIQUE
Ruth Beilin born and raised in Guelph graduated jromjohn F Ross C VI and earned a BA and a Dipshyloma in Agriculture She worked at the University and in Saskatchewan before going to Papua New Guinea with CUSO as an agricultural extension worker There she met her husband an Australian lawyer who was working in rural development After two years in New Guinea she attended Reading University in England and received an MSc in Agriculture Extension She joinedher husband in Australia and together they apPlied to work on anAustralian government project in Mozambique This is the first ofher letters (written in the summer Of 1986) on life and development in that war-torn country Ruth can be contacted at the follOwing address CAA cP 356 Maputo Mozambique
Life in Mozambique is a series of contrasts and challenges The area where we live is a fertile coastal strip that has been cultivated for at least 50 years - some parts longer Coconut palms wave in the breeze - their languid trunks arching over the dense foliage of the cashew trees planted between their rows The latifundia system practised by the Portuguese meant that as a rule local families had less than two hectares each of usually marginal land to farm for subsistence purposltS and that generally they could not grow permanent tree crops on these family spaces Therefore the wealth from these crops remained with the colonial farmers
Today the state is just beginning a large land reform program What it will mean in real terms is difficult to assess given the huge numbers of dislocated families from the interior dry areas and more desperate war zones The theory is that these families will be able to return to their own farm lands and accumulate more land there assuming that the war and
Ruth Beilin OAC 74
these years of drought and fanline will soon be over
The Mozambicans survive on their abilities as farmers The suffering and deprivation have made them strong conservationists sensitive to their crops and soils But some of the obstacles they face are overwhelming - broken (Ools scarce seed loss of animals Everything is a struggle
Village meetings are stimulating and full of lengthy debate Storyshytelling animation dancing and singing form an important part of the culture The present govenunent has used these means (0 awaken a political consciousness among the people who tend to be passive and accept their circumstances
Our group is not radical but we are different and perhaps threatening to this passivity Mozambicans are tired from hard work long years of fighting a declining economy and many reorganizations of agricultural policy We talk about self-sufficiency (which translated means more work) We talk about development but in agricultural terms offer no pesticides (except naturally occuring ones) import no tractors or cultivators and generally seem to be less modern than the Portuguese who left ten years ago We are not just talking
about rehabilitation but a whole developmental philosophy which is distinct from the projects of other development agencies in nearby districts Although the communities we work in agree that the long-term benefits are valid they must wonder when life is going to become easier
Through all this nms the struggle in southern Africa - the link between the apartheid regime in South Africa and the war in Mozanlbique and indeed in aU the frontline states This war destabilizes the countryside and terrorizes the people rfhe longer we live here and witness this nightmare the more we realize that the end of the war will not be because of things or people in Mozambique This is a war supported by the foreign policies of the West Countries that continue to support South Africa give strength to the South African economy strength that is translated into soldiers anlIDunition supplies and support for the bandidosannados - the armed bandits fighting FREUMO the legal Mozambican govenunent
I could weep when President Reagan says the American support for Jonas Savimbi against the Angolan government and Americas refusal to impose sanctions on South Africa maintains the balance of power between East and West He should stand on the ground where the price is being paid and teU the mourning villagers the dying and the maimed that the world is a better place for this carnage and that the chess games ofthe big men are the real value of human life
Many other countries play sinillar ifsmaller or less direct roles with the future ofsouthern Africa The tragedy of this land is the riches and vast potent ial which attract olltside interest and cost it dearly in ternlS of human resources
James and I first heard about the Rural Development Project in August 1984 when we were working for Community Aid Abroad (CAA) in
24
Australia At that time there was optimism about Mozambique The Nkomati Peace Accord was to end South Mrkas support for the bandits in exchange for diminished support from Mozambique for the African National Congress The project was to be an integrated rural development scheme in health water and agrishyculture
But the war has not ended and it is a constant stumbling block to all aspirations and plans not to mention wearing on ones spirit Still that potential and challenge are alluring and we plod on down the developshyment road trying to build up organization and infrastructure Waiting for the day when things may normalize (After 10 years of war what is normal)
We arrived in Mozambique in April 1985 with James as project director and me as agriculturalist The health team ( a midwife and doctor ) and the community development worker arrived in late August and the water engineer in January 1986 The six of us live on the project site in a nleal district centre The official language is Portuguese and our official work is in that language However the people generally speak their own languages and so communication below the official level continues to be difficult Still they are very patient with our attempts to communicate and live in their communities
My own work is starting to become more visible Three agricultural technicians and I have organized a program of support for the fdmily sector in agriculture This is largely an education extension system that operates on three levels The first level consists of training zone representatives in practical demonshystrations ofagricultural techniques in their home area ( each zone has roughly 60 families and is represented by one man and woman chosen by their community) The zone reps are linked in training sessions and in countryside visits to the second level - an enquadradore who is basically the official link to the district agricultural system There are only five functioning enquadradores in a district of 110000 or more people so we had pound0 create the agricultural reps to make the enquadradores task possible The training program for the enquadradores is critically important because they have no agriculturaJ background but must collect and transmit agricultural information The third level is the agricultural technicians themselves These young counterparts are likely to be the directors and administrators of the future They are also the direct teaching link to the people
After months of meetings and discussions at every level of village and district structure we swung into operation with the agriculture reps
program and the horticultural crops campaign ThankfuUy some of the long-awaited tools - hoes bush knives and seeds - also arrived It is too early to know what the results might be but we are optimistic that with good rains and no bandits family sector food production will show an improvement this ftest season
James gets the thankless task of organizing logistics supplies deleshygations and the endless bookwork Often caught in the middle of our demands the reali ty of the Australian budget and the nightmare of transshyporting difficult ies he somehow remains Cltllm and diplomatic He spends three weeks in the project office in the district centre at the site and the fourth is spent in the capital Mapmo at the CAA office
Our daughter Leah makes a huge differe n ce to our lives The MozambiGms are enchanted by her James is known as the husband of the mother of the baby I am known as the mother of the baby and Leah is known by her own name throughout the area She comes out with me mornings and spends afternoons with James in the office
As always 1 necd to say morc than there is time for My hope is that this letter wi ll personalize what is happening in southern Africa so that more support will come to stop the war and the terrible sadness all around this region

OAC CO-OP PROGRAM POPULAR WITH STUDENTS AND EMPLOYERS
Co-op education is the only way to go says Janice Parker OAC 86 Her comment is reflective of the overall view held by co-op students and employers alike
The co-operative education proshygram which has been available to OAC students for the past five years formally integrates the students academic srudy with work experience in co-operating employer organishyzations Usually the student alternates four months ofsoldywith four months of work in the agricultu ral industry directly related to his or her field of study
The co-op program provided me with invaluable work experience in the food science field This experience also enabled me to get an overseas job (through an international exshychange association ) inmy field says Janice who worked as a research assistant in an alcohol company in Finland
Janice says the practical lessons learned on work tenus made classshyroom theory easier to understand She also says the co-op program gave her the benefits of increased selfshyconfidence and the ability to present herse lf well at a job interview Employment interviews generally occur on campus in the middle of the academic term preceding each work semester The interviews are comshypetitive in nature as are the salaries paid by employers which usually average S 1100-$ 1500 per month
Kenda Allen OAC 86 says the coshyop program definitely helps with finances Besides earning money you only pay for four months of your education at a time
While in the program Kenda worked terms as a fieldperson with the Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation as a horse show entry clerk with the Royal Wi nter fair and as a rural organization specialist assistant with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food She now works full-time as associate editor of the
Canadian Ay rshire Review which promotes the Ayrshire breed
My experience in the co-op program helped me obtain obtain my present job I al 0 made contacts which w ill continue to benefi t my career says Kenda
By working at a variety of jobs Kenda explains she was able to narrow down her options and fi nd the correct path to take
Kenda says she also enjoyed the break from the books every four months which allowed her to apply what she was learning
Equally Enthusiastic Employers are equally enthusiastic
about the program Paul Nelson OAC 70 MA 72 vice-preSident of manufacturing and technical services at Corporate Foods in Toronto participated in earlyplanning scssions for the co-op program He cant understand why anyone would not choose the p rogram and feels that ifit had been available when he was a student it would have been very beneficial to him
Paul says the program gives students and employers a chance to assess one another during a fXed time-frame If the students do well he says his company is committed to hiring them on a permanent basis when the opportunity arises We always tell them to keep in touch he says We have found Guelph sOldents to be eager capable and adaptable
Doug Flint OAC 85 who spent two work terms with Corporate Foods was hired permanently as a quality assurance and sanitation supervisor In his case the program came full circle when he hired Guelph co-op student Brenda Ternyik as his assistant last summer and Kelly Newell OAC 82 as his permanenr assistant recently
Doug says the program is a good method of screening for both students and employers It helped me decide what [ did and did not want to do career-wise and it set me up for a
permanent job The company in rum was hiring someone they already knew something about
Suzanne Raymond OAC 77 a research and development manager with Pillsbury Canada Ltd in Toronto says her company has hired many coshyop students as research and developshyment technicians Since product development is seasonal the four month time-frame for work terms is especially suitable for Pillsbury Students undertake short-term proshyjects where it would be uneconomical to hire full-time employees
Suzanne says Pillsbury originally got involved with the co-op program from a recruiting standpoint It gives us exposure to the students and we can test how well they work she says It also gives us exposure to I what is happening at the University in terms of research and the food industry
Suzanne says another benefit is the freshness and vitality students bring with them to the job She has found them on the whole to be very good workers
Louis Paul Ricard a manager with Cargill Ltd a grain company that services both domestic and export markets says the co-op program gives his company a good idea of the calibre of student coming out of university today The work they do is a real contribution to the company as well
Cargills first co-op student Don foster OAC 86 has been hired full shytime as a grain merchant While on work terms with CargiU he had jobs in both Ontario and Alberta Don says an advantage of the co-op program is the opportunity to live and work in different areas of the country
Cargill also hired the co -op programs first crop science graduate John Ormrod OAC 85 who now works in Saskatchewan

MILESTONE CE EBRATION FOR OVC
With a flourish of kilts and bagshypipes OVC began celebrating its 125th birthday February 12 The COllege is the oldest veterinary school in continuous operation in North and South America
A special lecture by eminent Scotshytish scientist Dr WilJiam FH Jarrett whose work pioneered AIDS research commemorated the founding of the College and the unique contributions of the veterinary medical profession in the advancement of scientific knowledge and disease control
Dr Jarrett of the University of Glasgow Veterinary School gave a public lecture Vacdnation Against Retroviruses From FAIDS to AIDS His work on Feline Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (FAIDS) has been the basis for subsequent research into AIDS
Dr jarretts lecture took place in War Memorial Hall exactly 125 years after OVCs inaugural address was delivered in Toronto by another Scotsman founder Andrew Smith
Dr Smi th a graduate of the Edinburgh School of Veterinary Medicine was brought to Toronto by the Board of Agriculture of Upper Canada to open a veterinary practice and provide instruction He operated the school under private charter in Toronto until 1908 when it became aftlliated with the University of Toronto nle College moved to Guelph in 1922 becoming a coshyoperative neighbor for the OAC The two later joined with Macdonald Institute to become the founding Colleges of the University of Guelph in 1964
Since the issue of Dr Smiths charshyter the College has contributed substantially to the improvement of public health says OVC Dean Ole Nielsen College faculty were instrushymenta] in the development of milkshytesting programs for mastitis and were involved in the livestock vaccination and testing programs that led to the elimination of tuberculosis and brucellosis in humans and animals
In keeping with the Scottish theme Dr Dean Percy ave 57 MSc 66 a professor in the Department OfPathology piped Dr William PH Jarrett into War Memorial Hall for his special lecture February 12 Also in the procession were President Burt Matthews ave Dean Ole Nielsen specially invited ave retirees andplatform guests (Photo by Tim Sullivan)
They were pioneers in domestic ani shymal surgery and among the first veterinarians to adopt modem surgical techniques Faculty researchers also perfected techniques for the artificial insemination ofdairy cattle and swine and for freezing bull semen
Researdl efforts have continually expanded in areas of comparative medicine where human and vetershyinary medicine cross paths The College is now at the forefront of research on organ transplants and bone surgery and research is proshyceeding in other areas of potential benefit to human medicine including genetically engineered vaccines and cancer research
Each year thousands ofanimals are brought to the ColJege for study and treatment The 2000 patients treated at the large animal clinic last year included an elephant a kangaroo and a gnu Almost 8000 animals visited the small animal clinic and more than 16000 farm animals - mostly cattle
- were seen in the ambulatory clinics herd health program The Colleges wild bird clinic is the only one of its kind in Canada
OVCs department of patholOgy is the Norlh American centre for reshysearch on marine animals and the Canadian centre for diagnostic expershytise in fish pathology The College is closely affiliated with the new Guelph Centre for Equine Research
OVCs influence on the intershynational scene has been substantial Students comefrom around the world (0 study at the undergraduate gradshyuate and post-graduate levels In 1974 the College joined the Canadian international Development Agency in establishing a veterinary school in Malaysia the first in southeast Asia
Celebrations for OVCs 125th birthday will continue throughout the year A highlight onJune 19 is the official opening of the Colleges new Sl35-million large animal faCility

PROGRAM AIMS TO ATTRACT BRIGHTEST STUDENTS
By Sandra Couch Public Relations and Information
The Universitys share of the best and brightest first-year students in the physical sciences could well increase with the introduction of a challenging interdisciplinary one-year pilot project called MPC2 (for Mathematics-Physics-Chemistry-Comshyputing Science ) says Professor Ernie McFarland Physics
Professor McFarland chairman of the CPS interdiSciplinary curriculum committee says the basic introductory courses now in place were designed to serve all tbe students in classes that often reach 300 in size Very bright students the committee found were not as stimulated as they could have been
With the courses as they werewe were not attracting the quantity or quality of students we hoped in areas like physics chemistry and bioshychemistry mathematiCs statistics and computing science says Professor McFarland
The committee has designed a number of new first-year courses which require a minimum average of 80 per cent for admission The courses will combine mathematics physics chemistry and computing and are structured to foster a better appreshyciation of the inter-connections between the disCiplines says Professor McFarland The more challenging courses will also enable bright highly qualified and motivated students to choose one or two additional elective courses in their first year
Professor McFarland admits the project is a departure from the usual departmental philosophy and says the one-year trial period will allow CPS to crawl before we walk He says a successful evaluation at the end of the trial period could lead to possible joint degrees in the areas of physics and chemistry or mathematics and computing
It could well be the first stage for a number of other interdisciplinary ventures in the College beyond the
first -year level says Professor Mcfarland
Acting CPS Dean Rod Gentry says the new intensive program will likely attrlct more of the best students to Guelph because in the sciences the best stude nts are very selective consumers Theyre looking for the best program while theyre still in high school
Former CPS Dean now Vice-President AcademicjackMacDonald conceived MPCZ because he believed that the way physical sciences were
being taught was historical and antiquated He says the departmental divisions in universities are almost tribal in nature and often lead to an arbitrary and artificial division of subject matter
Professor MacDonald says MPCZ which will be offered for the first time in September is consistent with the Universitys aims and objectives and is also consistent with the learning objectives in that it takes a holistic viewpoint in the teaching and learning of the material
GLASSBLOWE RHONORED Unive rSity glassblower Anne Hostetter has been honored by the American Scientific Glassblowers Society (ASGS) in Cincinnati Ohio for her paper Quartz EPR Flat Cel The Fischer and Porter Company of Pennsylvania offers the annual Kermit-Fischer Award in recognition of the best paper presented at the previous years symposium
The paper is selected by a jury from the ASGS on the basis of content app li cat ion presentat ion style graphics use and text
A quartz EPR flat cell is a difficult piece of glassware to make Ms Hostetter says but it is useful in EPR spectroscopy because it allows the 5anlple to be pOSitioned in the densest part of the magnetic field without interfe rence from the electric component of the rad iation
Ms Hostetter has used the techshynique described in her paper sucshycessfully for eight to nine years She forms the flat sides of the cell from two pieces of quartz glass with bevelled edges When spaced proshyperly the bevelled glass forms a V into which a length ofquartz piping is fitted and melted to seal the edges The standard spacing between the two pieces of flat glass is 25 mm
although she has made cells as small as 12 mm and as large as I mm
A 25-minute educaHonal videotape about the technique described in Ms Hostetters paper is available through the ASGS

WOMEN IN SCIENCE GATHER
About 80 women gathered on campus in February to hear Dr Lynda Pinnington talk about career planning forwomen in science Dr Pinnjngton beads Pinn ington Associates of Cambridge a consulting firm that focuses on applied productivity improvement techniques for business and industry Discussants for the careers night were Brenda Bonnett OVC 79 a PhD sludent in the Department of Veterinary Micro shybiology and Immunology and Jan Kaufman Library who is on the Preshysidents Advisory Council day care task force
This was the second event planned by an informal group of women scienshytists at Guelph Professors Susan Mclver chair of the Department of Enviro nmenta l Bio logy Mary Beverley-Burton Zoology and Janet Wood Chemistry and Biochemistry have been the moving forces behind this organization which has blosshysomed into a nucleus of about a dozen women representing aU the science colleges at Guelph They say the groups purpose is to increase awareness of the role of women in science and the opportunities and obstacles they may encounter The group also encourages informal netshyworking and social contacts
Weve avoided creating a formal structure Professor McIver says Meetings are held on an irregular basis and there are no official officers

OAC GRADUATE WRITES FROM MOZAMBIQUE
Ruth Beilin born and raised in Guelph graduated jromjohn F Ross C VI and earned a BA and a Dipshyloma in Agriculture She worked at the University and in Saskatchewan before going to Papua New Guinea with CUSO as an agricultural extension worker There she met her husband an Australian lawyer who was working in rural development After two years in New Guinea she attended Reading University in England and received an MSc in Agriculture Extension She joinedher husband in Australia and together they apPlied to work on anAustralian government project in Mozambique This is the first ofher letters (written in the summer Of 1986) on life and development in that war-torn country Ruth can be contacted at the follOwing address CAA cP 356 Maputo Mozambique
Life in Mozambique is a series of contrasts and challenges The area where we live is a fertile coastal strip that has been cultivated for at least 50 years - some parts longer Coconut palms wave in the breeze - their languid trunks arching over the dense foliage of the cashew trees planted between their rows The latifundia system practised by the Portuguese meant that as a rule local families had less than two hectares each of usually marginal land to farm for subsistence purposltS and that generally they could not grow permanent tree crops on these family spaces Therefore the wealth from these crops remained with the colonial farmers
Today the state is just beginning a large land reform program What it will mean in real terms is difficult to assess given the huge numbers of dislocated families from the interior dry areas and more desperate war zones The theory is that these families will be able to return to their own farm lands and accumulate more land there assuming that the war and
Ruth Beilin OAC 74
these years of drought and fanline will soon be over
The Mozambicans survive on their abilities as farmers The suffering and deprivation have made them strong conservationists sensitive to their crops and soils But some of the obstacles they face are overwhelming - broken (Ools scarce seed loss of animals Everything is a struggle
Village meetings are stimulating and full of lengthy debate Storyshytelling animation dancing and singing form an important part of the culture The present govenunent has used these means (0 awaken a political consciousness among the people who tend to be passive and accept their circumstances
Our group is not radical but we are different and perhaps threatening to this passivity Mozambicans are tired from hard work long years of fighting a declining economy and many reorganizations of agricultural policy We talk about self-sufficiency (which translated means more work) We talk about development but in agricultural terms offer no pesticides (except naturally occuring ones) import no tractors or cultivators and generally seem to be less modern than the Portuguese who left ten years ago We are not just talking
about rehabilitation but a whole developmental philosophy which is distinct from the projects of other development agencies in nearby districts Although the communities we work in agree that the long-term benefits are valid they must wonder when life is going to become easier
Through all this nms the struggle in southern Africa - the link between the apartheid regime in South Africa and the war in Mozanlbique and indeed in aU the frontline states This war destabilizes the countryside and terrorizes the people rfhe longer we live here and witness this nightmare the more we realize that the end of the war will not be because of things or people in Mozambique This is a war supported by the foreign policies of the West Countries that continue to support South Africa give strength to the South African economy strength that is translated into soldiers anlIDunition supplies and support for the bandidosannados - the armed bandits fighting FREUMO the legal Mozambican govenunent
I could weep when President Reagan says the American support for Jonas Savimbi against the Angolan government and Americas refusal to impose sanctions on South Africa maintains the balance of power between East and West He should stand on the ground where the price is being paid and teU the mourning villagers the dying and the maimed that the world is a better place for this carnage and that the chess games ofthe big men are the real value of human life
Many other countries play sinillar ifsmaller or less direct roles with the future ofsouthern Africa The tragedy of this land is the riches and vast potent ial which attract olltside interest and cost it dearly in ternlS of human resources
James and I first heard about the Rural Development Project in August 1984 when we were working for Community Aid Abroad (CAA) in
24
Australia At that time there was optimism about Mozambique The Nkomati Peace Accord was to end South Mrkas support for the bandits in exchange for diminished support from Mozambique for the African National Congress The project was to be an integrated rural development scheme in health water and agrishyculture
But the war has not ended and it is a constant stumbling block to all aspirations and plans not to mention wearing on ones spirit Still that potential and challenge are alluring and we plod on down the developshyment road trying to build up organization and infrastructure Waiting for the day when things may normalize (After 10 years of war what is normal)
We arrived in Mozambique in April 1985 with James as project director and me as agriculturalist The health team ( a midwife and doctor ) and the community development worker arrived in late August and the water engineer in January 1986 The six of us live on the project site in a nleal district centre The official language is Portuguese and our official work is in that language However the people generally speak their own languages and so communication below the official level continues to be difficult Still they are very patient with our attempts to communicate and live in their communities
My own work is starting to become more visible Three agricultural technicians and I have organized a program of support for the fdmily sector in agriculture This is largely an education extension system that operates on three levels The first level consists of training zone representatives in practical demonshystrations ofagricultural techniques in their home area ( each zone has roughly 60 families and is represented by one man and woman chosen by their community) The zone reps are linked in training sessions and in countryside visits to the second level - an enquadradore who is basically the official link to the district agricultural system There are only five functioning enquadradores in a district of 110000 or more people so we had pound0 create the agricultural reps to make the enquadradores task possible The training program for the enquadradores is critically important because they have no agriculturaJ background but must collect and transmit agricultural information The third level is the agricultural technicians themselves These young counterparts are likely to be the directors and administrators of the future They are also the direct teaching link to the people
After months of meetings and discussions at every level of village and district structure we swung into operation with the agriculture reps
program and the horticultural crops campaign ThankfuUy some of the long-awaited tools - hoes bush knives and seeds - also arrived It is too early to know what the results might be but we are optimistic that with good rains and no bandits family sector food production will show an improvement this ftest season
James gets the thankless task of organizing logistics supplies deleshygations and the endless bookwork Often caught in the middle of our demands the reali ty of the Australian budget and the nightmare of transshyporting difficult ies he somehow remains Cltllm and diplomatic He spends three weeks in the project office in the district centre at the site and the fourth is spent in the capital Mapmo at the CAA office
Our daughter Leah makes a huge differe n ce to our lives The MozambiGms are enchanted by her James is known as the husband of the mother of the baby I am known as the mother of the baby and Leah is known by her own name throughout the area She comes out with me mornings and spends afternoons with James in the office
As always 1 necd to say morc than there is time for My hope is that this letter wi ll personalize what is happening in southern Africa so that more support will come to stop the war and the terrible sadness all around this region

OAC CO-OP PROGRAM POPULAR WITH STUDENTS AND EMPLOYERS
Co-op education is the only way to go says Janice Parker OAC 86 Her comment is reflective of the overall view held by co-op students and employers alike
The co-operative education proshygram which has been available to OAC students for the past five years formally integrates the students academic srudy with work experience in co-operating employer organishyzations Usually the student alternates four months ofsoldywith four months of work in the agricultu ral industry directly related to his or her field of study
The co-op program provided me with invaluable work experience in the food science field This experience also enabled me to get an overseas job (through an international exshychange association ) inmy field says Janice who worked as a research assistant in an alcohol company in Finland
Janice says the practical lessons learned on work tenus made classshyroom theory easier to understand She also says the co-op program gave her the benefits of increased selfshyconfidence and the ability to present herse lf well at a job interview Employment interviews generally occur on campus in the middle of the academic term preceding each work semester The interviews are comshypetitive in nature as are the salaries paid by employers which usually average S 1100-$ 1500 per month
Kenda Allen OAC 86 says the coshyop program definitely helps with finances Besides earning money you only pay for four months of your education at a time
While in the program Kenda worked terms as a fieldperson with the Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation as a horse show entry clerk with the Royal Wi nter fair and as a rural organization specialist assistant with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food She now works full-time as associate editor of the
Canadian Ay rshire Review which promotes the Ayrshire breed
My experience in the co-op program helped me obtain obtain my present job I al 0 made contacts which w ill continue to benefi t my career says Kenda
By working at a variety of jobs Kenda explains she was able to narrow down her options and fi nd the correct path to take
Kenda says she also enjoyed the break from the books every four months which allowed her to apply what she was learning
Equally Enthusiastic Employers are equally enthusiastic
about the program Paul Nelson OAC 70 MA 72 vice-preSident of manufacturing and technical services at Corporate Foods in Toronto participated in earlyplanning scssions for the co-op program He cant understand why anyone would not choose the p rogram and feels that ifit had been available when he was a student it would have been very beneficial to him
Paul says the program gives students and employers a chance to assess one another during a fXed time-frame If the students do well he says his company is committed to hiring them on a permanent basis when the opportunity arises We always tell them to keep in touch he says We have found Guelph sOldents to be eager capable and adaptable
Doug Flint OAC 85 who spent two work terms with Corporate Foods was hired permanently as a quality assurance and sanitation supervisor In his case the program came full circle when he hired Guelph co-op student Brenda Ternyik as his assistant last summer and Kelly Newell OAC 82 as his permanenr assistant recently
Doug says the program is a good method of screening for both students and employers It helped me decide what [ did and did not want to do career-wise and it set me up for a
permanent job The company in rum was hiring someone they already knew something about
Suzanne Raymond OAC 77 a research and development manager with Pillsbury Canada Ltd in Toronto says her company has hired many coshyop students as research and developshyment technicians Since product development is seasonal the four month time-frame for work terms is especially suitable for Pillsbury Students undertake short-term proshyjects where it would be uneconomical to hire full-time employees
Suzanne says Pillsbury originally got involved with the co-op program from a recruiting standpoint It gives us exposure to the students and we can test how well they work she says It also gives us exposure to I what is happening at the University in terms of research and the food industry
Suzanne says another benefit is the freshness and vitality students bring with them to the job She has found them on the whole to be very good workers
Louis Paul Ricard a manager with Cargill Ltd a grain company that services both domestic and export markets says the co-op program gives his company a good idea of the calibre of student coming out of university today The work they do is a real contribution to the company as well
Cargills first co-op student Don foster OAC 86 has been hired full shytime as a grain merchant While on work terms with CargiU he had jobs in both Ontario and Alberta Don says an advantage of the co-op program is the opportunity to live and work in different areas of the country
Cargill also hired the co -op programs first crop science graduate John Ormrod OAC 85 who now works in Saskatchewan

PROGRAM AIMS TO ATTRACT BRIGHTEST STUDENTS
By Sandra Couch Public Relations and Information
The Universitys share of the best and brightest first-year students in the physical sciences could well increase with the introduction of a challenging interdisciplinary one-year pilot project called MPC2 (for Mathematics-Physics-Chemistry-Comshyputing Science ) says Professor Ernie McFarland Physics
Professor McFarland chairman of the CPS interdiSciplinary curriculum committee says the basic introductory courses now in place were designed to serve all tbe students in classes that often reach 300 in size Very bright students the committee found were not as stimulated as they could have been
With the courses as they werewe were not attracting the quantity or quality of students we hoped in areas like physics chemistry and bioshychemistry mathematiCs statistics and computing science says Professor McFarland
The committee has designed a number of new first-year courses which require a minimum average of 80 per cent for admission The courses will combine mathematics physics chemistry and computing and are structured to foster a better appreshyciation of the inter-connections between the disCiplines says Professor McFarland The more challenging courses will also enable bright highly qualified and motivated students to choose one or two additional elective courses in their first year
Professor McFarland admits the project is a departure from the usual departmental philosophy and says the one-year trial period will allow CPS to crawl before we walk He says a successful evaluation at the end of the trial period could lead to possible joint degrees in the areas of physics and chemistry or mathematics and computing
It could well be the first stage for a number of other interdisciplinary ventures in the College beyond the
first -year level says Professor Mcfarland
Acting CPS Dean Rod Gentry says the new intensive program will likely attrlct more of the best students to Guelph because in the sciences the best stude nts are very selective consumers Theyre looking for the best program while theyre still in high school
Former CPS Dean now Vice-President AcademicjackMacDonald conceived MPCZ because he believed that the way physical sciences were
being taught was historical and antiquated He says the departmental divisions in universities are almost tribal in nature and often lead to an arbitrary and artificial division of subject matter
Professor MacDonald says MPCZ which will be offered for the first time in September is consistent with the Universitys aims and objectives and is also consistent with the learning objectives in that it takes a holistic viewpoint in the teaching and learning of the material
GLASSBLOWE RHONORED Unive rSity glassblower Anne Hostetter has been honored by the American Scientific Glassblowers Society (ASGS) in Cincinnati Ohio for her paper Quartz EPR Flat Cel The Fischer and Porter Company of Pennsylvania offers the annual Kermit-Fischer Award in recognition of the best paper presented at the previous years symposium
The paper is selected by a jury from the ASGS on the basis of content app li cat ion presentat ion style graphics use and text
A quartz EPR flat cell is a difficult piece of glassware to make Ms Hostetter says but it is useful in EPR spectroscopy because it allows the 5anlple to be pOSitioned in the densest part of the magnetic field without interfe rence from the electric component of the rad iation
Ms Hostetter has used the techshynique described in her paper sucshycessfully for eight to nine years She forms the flat sides of the cell from two pieces of quartz glass with bevelled edges When spaced proshyperly the bevelled glass forms a V into which a length ofquartz piping is fitted and melted to seal the edges The standard spacing between the two pieces of flat glass is 25 mm
although she has made cells as small as 12 mm and as large as I mm
A 25-minute educaHonal videotape about the technique described in Ms Hostetters paper is available through the ASGS

WOMEN IN SCIENCE GATHER
About 80 women gathered on campus in February to hear Dr Lynda Pinnington talk about career planning forwomen in science Dr Pinnjngton beads Pinn ington Associates of Cambridge a consulting firm that focuses on applied productivity improvement techniques for business and industry Discussants for the careers night were Brenda Bonnett OVC 79 a PhD sludent in the Department of Veterinary Micro shybiology and Immunology and Jan Kaufman Library who is on the Preshysidents Advisory Council day care task force
This was the second event planned by an informal group of women scienshytists at Guelph Professors Susan Mclver chair of the Department of Enviro nmenta l Bio logy Mary Beverley-Burton Zoology and Janet Wood Chemistry and Biochemistry have been the moving forces behind this organization which has blosshysomed into a nucleus of about a dozen women representing aU the science colleges at Guelph They say the groups purpose is to increase awareness of the role of women in science and the opportunities and obstacles they may encounter The group also encourages informal netshyworking and social contacts
Weve avoided creating a formal structure Professor McIver says Meetings are held on an irregular basis and there are no official officers
In addition to offering careers nights the group has compiled a list of women in science at Guelph using the criteria ofa degree in science and employment at the University
Questions raised by the group re shysulted in the updating of the 1975 report of the Presidents Task Force on the status of women at the ni shyversity which led to the formation of the Presidents Advisory Committee on Equal Rights for Men and Women at the University of Guelph This committee chaired by Professor McIver will release a report this spring

Ruth Beilin born and raised in Guelph graduated jromjohn F Ross C VI and earned a BA and a Dipshyloma in Agriculture She worked at the University and in Saskatchewan before going to Papua New Guinea with CUSO as an agricultural extension worker There she met her husband an Australian lawyer who was working in rural development After two years in New Guinea she attended Reading University in England and received an MSc in Agriculture Extension She joinedher husband in Australia and together they apPlied to work on anAustralian government project in Mozambique This is the first ofher letters (written in the summer Of 1986) on life and development in that war-torn country Ruth can be contacted at the follOwing address CAA cP 356 Maputo Mozambique
Life in Mozambique is a series of contrasts and challenges The area where we live is a fertile coastal strip that has been cultivated for at least 50 years - some parts longer Coconut palms wave in the breeze - their languid trunks arching over the dense foliage of the cashew trees planted between their rows The latifundia system practised by the Portuguese meant that as a rule local families had less than two hectares each of usually marginal land to farm for subsistence purposltS and that generally they could not grow permanent tree crops on these family spaces Therefore the wealth from these crops remained with the colonial farmers
Today the state is just beginning a large land reform program What it will mean in real terms is difficult to assess given the huge numbers of dislocated families from the interior dry areas and more desperate war zones The theory is that these families will be able to return to their own farm lands and accumulate more land there assuming that the war and
Ruth Beilin OAC 74
these years of drought and fanline will soon be over
The Mozambicans survive on their abilities as farmers The suffering and deprivation have made them strong conservationists sensitive to their crops and soils But some of the obstacles they face are overwhelming - broken (Ools scarce seed loss of animals Everything is a struggle
Village meetings are stimulating and full of lengthy debate Storyshytelling animation dancing and singing form an important part of the culture The present govenunent has used these means (0 awaken a political consciousness among the people who tend to be passive and accept their circumstances
Our group is not radical but we are different and perhaps threatening to this passivity Mozambicans are tired from hard work long years of fighting a declining economy and many reorganizations of agricultural policy We talk about self-sufficiency (which translated means more work) We talk about development but in agricultural terms offer no pesticides (except naturally occuring ones) import no tractors or cultivators and generally seem to be less modern than the Portuguese who left ten years ago We are not just talking
about rehabilitation but a whole developmental philosophy which is distinct from the projects of other development agencies in nearby districts Although the communities we work in agree that the long-term benefits are valid they must wonder when life is going to become easier
Through all this nms the struggle in southern Africa - the link between the apartheid regime in South Africa and the war in Mozanlbique and indeed in aU the frontline states This war destabilizes the countryside and terrorizes the people rfhe longer we live here and witness this nightmare the more we realize that the end of the war will not be because of things or people in Mozambique This is a war supported by the foreign policies of the West Countries that continue to support South Africa give strength to the South African economy strength that is translated into soldiers anlIDunition supplies and support for the bandidosannados - the armed bandits fighting FREUMO the legal Mozambican govenunent
I could weep when President Reagan says the American support for Jonas Savimbi against the Angolan government and Americas refusal to impose sanctions on South Africa maintains the balance of power between East and West He should stand on the ground where the price is being paid and teU the mourning villagers the dying and the maimed that the world is a better place for this carnage and that the chess games ofthe big men are the real value of human life
Many other countries play sinillar ifsmaller or less direct roles with the future ofsouthern Africa The tragedy of this land is the riches and vast potent ial which attract olltside interest and cost it dearly in ternlS of human resources
James and I first heard about the Rural Development Project in August 1984 when we were working for Community Aid Abroad (CAA) in
24
Australia At that time there was optimism about Mozambique The Nkomati Peace Accord was to end South Mrkas support for the bandits in exchange for diminished support from Mozambique for the African National Congress The project was to be an integrated rural development scheme in health water and agrishyculture
But the war has not ended and it is a constant stumbling block to all aspirations and plans not to mention wearing on ones spirit Still that potential and challenge are alluring and we plod on down the developshyment road trying to build up organization and infrastructure Waiting for the day when things may normalize (After 10 years of war what is normal)
We arrived in Mozambique in April 1985 with James as project director and me as agriculturalist The health team ( a midwife and doctor ) and the community development worker arrived in late August and the water engineer in January 1986 The six of us live on the project site in a nleal district centre The official language is Portuguese and our official work is in that language However the people generally speak their own languages and so communication below the official level continues to be difficult Still they are very patient with our attempts to communicate and live in their communities
My own work is starting to become more visible Three agricultural technicians and I have organized a program of support for the fdmily sector in agriculture This is largely an education extension system that operates on three levels The first level consists of training zone representatives in practical demonshystrations ofagricultural techniques in their home area ( each zone has roughly 60 families and is represented by one man and woman chosen by their community) The zone reps are linked in training sessions and in countryside visits to the second level - an enquadradore who is basically the official link to the district agricultural system There are only five functioning enquadradores in a district of 110000 or more people so we had pound0 create the agricultural reps to make the enquadradores task possible The training program for the enquadradores is critically important because they have no agriculturaJ background but must collect and transmit agricultural information The third level is the agricultural technicians themselves These young counterparts are likely to be the directors and administrators of the future They are also the direct teaching link to the people
After months of meetings and discussions at every level of village and district structure we swung into operation with the agriculture reps
program and the horticultural crops campaign ThankfuUy some of the long-awaited tools - hoes bush knives and seeds - also arrived It is too early to know what the results might be but we are optimistic that with good rains and no bandits family sector food production will show an improvement this ftest season
James gets the thankless task of organizing logistics supplies deleshygations and the endless bookwork Often caught in the middle of our demands the reali ty of the Australian budget and the nightmare of transshyporting difficult ies he somehow remains Cltllm and diplomatic He spends three weeks in the project office in the district centre at the site and the fourth is spent in the capital Mapmo at the CAA office
Our daughter Leah makes a huge differe n ce to our lives The MozambiGms are enchanted by her James is known as the husband of the mother of the baby I am known as the mother of the baby and Leah is known by her own name throughout the area She comes out with me mornings and spends afternoons with James in the office
As always 1 necd to say morc than there is time for My hope is that this letter wi ll personalize what is happening in southern Africa so that more support will come to stop the war and the terrible sadness all around this region

OAC CO-OP PROGRAM POPULAR WITH STUDENTS AND EMPLOYERS
Co-op education is the only way to go says Janice Parker OAC 86 Her comment is reflective of the overall view held by co-op students and employers alike
The co-operative education proshygram which has been available to OAC students for the past five years formally integrates the students academic srudy with work experience in co-operating employer organishyzations Usually the student alternates four months ofsoldywith four months of work in the agricultu ral industry directly related to his or her field of study
The co-op program provided me with invaluable work experience in the food science field This experience also enabled me to get an overseas job (through an international exshychange association ) inmy field says Janice who worked as a research assistant in an alcohol company in Finland
Janice says the practical lessons learned on work tenus made classshyroom theory easier to understand She also says the co-op program gave her the benefits of increased selfshyconfidence and the ability to present herse lf well at a job interview Employment interviews generally occur on campus in the middle of the academic term preceding each work semester The interviews are comshypetitive in nature as are the salaries paid by employers which usually average S 1100-$ 1500 per month
Kenda Allen OAC 86 says the coshyop program definitely helps with finances Besides earning money you only pay for four months of your education at a time
While in the program Kenda worked terms as a fieldperson with the Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation as a horse show entry clerk with the Royal Wi nter fair and as a rural organization specialist assistant with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food She now works full-time as associate editor of the
Canadian Ay rshire Review which promotes the Ayrshire breed
My experience in the co-op program helped me obtain obtain my present job I al 0 made contacts which w ill continue to benefi t my career says Kenda
By working at a variety of jobs Kenda explains she was able to narrow down her options and fi nd the correct path to take
Kenda says she also enjoyed the break from the books every four months which allowed her to apply what she was learning
Equally Enthusiastic Employers are equally enthusiastic
about the program Paul Nelson OAC 70 MA 72 vice-preSident of manufacturing and technical services at Corporate Foods in Toronto participated in earlyplanning scssions for the co-op program He cant understand why anyone would not choose the p rogram and feels that ifit had been available when he was a student it would have been very beneficial to him
Paul says the program gives students and employers a chance to assess one another during a fXed time-frame If the students do well he says his company is committed to hiring them on a permanent basis when the opportunity arises We always tell them to keep in touch he says We have found Guelph sOldents to be eager capable and adaptable
Doug Flint OAC 85 who spent two work terms with Corporate Foods was hired permanently as a quality assurance and sanitation supervisor In his case the program came full circle when he hired Guelph co-op student Brenda Ternyik as his assistant last summer and Kelly Newell OAC 82 as his permanenr assistant recently
Doug says the program is a good method of screening for both students and employers It helped me decide what [ did and did not want to do career-wise and it set me up for a
permanent job The company in rum was hiring someone they already knew something about
Suzanne Raymond OAC 77 a research and development manager with Pillsbury Canada Ltd in Toronto says her company has hired many coshyop students as research and developshyment technicians Since product development is seasonal the four month time-frame for work terms is especially suitable for Pillsbury Students undertake short-term proshyjects where it would be uneconomical to hire full-time employees
Suzanne says Pillsbury originally got involved with the co-op program from a recruiting standpoint It gives us exposure to the students and we can test how well they work she says It also gives us exposure to I what is happening at the University in terms of research and the food industry
Suzanne says another benefit is the freshness and vitality students bring with them to the job She has found them on the whole to be very good workers
Louis Paul Ricard a manager with Cargill Ltd a grain company that services both domestic and export markets says the co-op program gives his company a good idea of the calibre of student coming out of university today The work they do is a real contribution to the company as well
Cargills first co-op student Don foster OAC 86 has been hired full shytime as a grain merchant While on work terms with CargiU he had jobs in both Ontario and Alberta Don says an advantage of the co-op program is the opportunity to live and work in different areas of the country
Cargill also hired the co -op programs first crop science graduate John Ormrod OAC 85 who now works in Saskatchewan

PROGRAM AIMS TO ATTRACT BRIGHTEST STUDENTS
By Sandra Couch Public Relations and Information
The Universitys share of the best and brightest first-year students in the physical sciences could well increase with the introduction of a challenging interdisciplinary one-year pilot project called MPC2 (for Mathematics-Physics-Chemistry-Comshyputing Science ) says Professor Ernie McFarland Physics
Professor McFarland chairman of the CPS interdiSciplinary curriculum committee says the basic introductory courses now in place were designed to serve all tbe students in classes that often reach 300 in size Very bright students the committee found were not as stimulated as they could have been
With the courses as they werewe were not attracting the quantity or quality of students we hoped in areas like physics chemistry and bioshychemistry mathematiCs statistics and computing science says Professor McFarland
The committee has designed a number of new first-year courses which require a minimum average of 80 per cent for admission The courses will combine mathematics physics chemistry and computing and are structured to foster a better appreshyciation of the inter-connections between the disCiplines says Professor McFarland The more challenging courses will also enable bright highly qualified and motivated students to choose one or two additional elective courses in their first year
Professor McFarland admits the project is a departure from the usual departmental philosophy and says the one-year trial period will allow CPS to crawl before we walk He says a successful evaluation at the end of the trial period could lead to possible joint degrees in the areas of physics and chemistry or mathematics and computing
It could well be the first stage for a number of other interdisciplinary ventures in the College beyond the
first -year level says Professor Mcfarland
Acting CPS Dean Rod Gentry says the new intensive program will likely attrlct more of the best students to Guelph because in the sciences the best stude nts are very selective consumers Theyre looking for the best program while theyre still in high school
Former CPS Dean now Vice-President AcademicjackMacDonald conceived MPCZ because he believed that the way physical sciences were
being taught was historical and antiquated He says the departmental divisions in universities are almost tribal in nature and often lead to an arbitrary and artificial division of subject matter
Professor MacDonald says MPCZ which will be offered for the first time in September is consistent with the Universitys aims and objectives and is also consistent with the learning objectives in that it takes a holistic viewpoint in the teaching and learning of the material
GLASSBLOWE RHONORED Unive rSity glassblower Anne Hostetter has been honored by the American Scientific Glassblowers Society (ASGS) in Cincinnati Ohio for her paper Quartz EPR Flat Cel The Fischer and Porter Company of Pennsylvania offers the annual Kermit-Fischer Award in recognition of the best paper presented at the previous years symposium
The paper is selected by a jury from the ASGS on the basis of content app li cat ion presentat ion style graphics use and text
A quartz EPR flat cell is a difficult piece of glassware to make Ms Hostetter says but it is useful in EPR spectroscopy because it allows the 5anlple to be pOSitioned in the densest part of the magnetic field without interfe rence from the electric component of the rad iation
Ms Hostetter has used the techshynique described in her paper sucshycessfully for eight to nine years She forms the flat sides of the cell from two pieces of quartz glass with bevelled edges When spaced proshyperly the bevelled glass forms a V into which a length ofquartz piping is fitted and melted to seal the edges The standard spacing between the two pieces of flat glass is 25 mm
although she has made cells as small as 12 mm and as large as I mm
A 25-minute educaHonal videotape about the technique described in Ms Hostetters paper is available through the ASGS

WOMEN IN SCIENCE GATHER
About 80 women gathered on campus in February to hear Dr Lynda Pinnington talk about career planning forwomen in science Dr Pinnjngton beads Pinn ington Associates of Cambridge a consulting firm that focuses on applied productivity improvement techniques for business and industry Discussants for the careers night were Brenda Bonnett OVC 79 a PhD sludent in the Department of Veterinary Micro shybiology and Immunology and Jan Kaufman Library who is on the Preshysidents Advisory Council day care task force
This was the second event planned by an informal group of women scienshytists at Guelph Professors Susan Mclver chair of the Department of Enviro nmenta l Bio logy Mary Beverley-Burton Zoology and Janet Wood Chemistry and Biochemistry have been the moving forces behind this organization which has blosshysomed into a nucleus of about a dozen women representing aU the science colleges at Guelph They say the groups purpose is to increase awareness of the role of women in science and the opportunities and obstacles they may encounter The group also encourages informal netshyworking and social contacts
Weve avoided creating a formal structure Professor McIver says Meetings are held on an irregular basis and there are no official officers
In addition to offering careers nights the group has compiled a list of women in science at Guelph using the criteria ofa degree in science and employment at the University
Questions raised by the group re shysulted in the updating of the 1975 report of the Presidents Task Force on the status of women at the ni shyversity which led to the formation of the Presidents Advisory Committee on Equal Rights for Men and Women at the University of Guelph This committee chaired by Professor McIver will release a report this spring

OAC GRADUATE WRITES FROM MOZAMBIQUE
Ruth Beilin born and raised in Guelph graduated jromjohn F Ross C VI and earned a BA and a Dipshyloma in Agriculture She worked at the University and in Saskatchewan before going to Papua New Guinea with CUSO as an agricultural extension worker There she met her husband an Australian lawyer who was working in rural development After two years in New Guinea she attended Reading University in England and received an MSc in Agriculture Extension She joinedher husband in Australia and together they apPlied to work on anAustralian government project in Mozambique This is the first ofher letters (written in the summer Of 1986) on life and development in that war-torn country Ruth can be contacted at the follOwing address CAA cP 356 Maputo Mozambique
Life in Mozambique is a series of contrasts and challenges The area where we live is a fertile coastal strip that has been cultivated for at least 50 years - some parts longer Coconut palms wave in the breeze - their languid trunks arching over the dense foliage of the cashew trees planted between their rows The latifundia system practised by the Portuguese meant that as a rule local families had less than two hectares each of usually marginal land to farm for subsistence purposltS and that generally they could not grow permanent tree crops on these family spaces Therefore the wealth from these crops remained with the colonial farmers
Today the state is just beginning a large land reform program What it will mean in real terms is difficult to assess given the huge numbers of dislocated families from the interior dry areas and more desperate war zones The theory is that these families will be able to return to their own farm lands and accumulate more land there assuming that the war and
Ruth Beilin OAC 74
these years of drought and fanline will soon be over
The Mozambicans survive on their abilities as farmers The suffering and deprivation have made them strong conservationists sensitive to their crops and soils But some of the obstacles they face are overwhelming - broken (Ools scarce seed loss of animals Everything is a struggle
Village meetings are stimulating and full of lengthy debate Storyshytelling animation dancing and singing form an important part of the culture The present govenunent has used these means (0 awaken a political consciousness among the people who tend to be passive and accept their circumstances
Our group is not radical but we are different and perhaps threatening to this passivity Mozambicans are tired from hard work long years of fighting a declining economy and many reorganizations of agricultural policy We talk about self-sufficiency (which translated means more work) We talk about development but in agricultural terms offer no pesticides (except naturally occuring ones) import no tractors or cultivators and generally seem to be less modern than the Portuguese who left ten years ago We are not just talking
about rehabilitation but a whole developmental philosophy which is distinct from the projects of other development agencies in nearby districts Although the communities we work in agree that the long-term benefits are valid they must wonder when life is going to become easier
Through all this nms the struggle in southern Africa - the link between the apartheid regime in South Africa and the war in Mozanlbique and indeed in aU the frontline states This war destabilizes the countryside and terrorizes the people rfhe longer we live here and witness this nightmare the more we realize that the end of the war will not be because of things or people in Mozambique This is a war supported by the foreign policies of the West Countries that continue to support South Africa give strength to the South African economy strength that is translated into soldiers anlIDunition supplies and support for the bandidosannados - the armed bandits fighting FREUMO the legal Mozambican govenunent
I could weep when President Reagan says the American support for Jonas Savimbi against the Angolan government and Americas refusal to impose sanctions on South Africa maintains the balance of power between East and West He should stand on the ground where the price is being paid and teU the mourning villagers the dying and the maimed that the world is a better place for this carnage and that the chess games ofthe big men are the real value of human life
Many other countries play sinillar ifsmaller or less direct roles with the future ofsouthern Africa The tragedy of this land is the riches and vast potent ial which attract olltside interest and cost it dearly in ternlS of human resources
James and I first heard about the Rural Development Project in August 1984 when we were working for Community Aid Abroad (CAA) in
24
Australia At that time there was optimism about Mozambique The Nkomati Peace Accord was to end South Mrkas support for the bandits in exchange for diminished support from Mozambique for the African National Congress The project was to be an integrated rural development scheme in health water and agrishyculture
But the war has not ended and it is a constant stumbling block to all aspirations and plans not to mention wearing on ones spirit Still that potential and challenge are alluring and we plod on down the developshyment road trying to build up organization and infrastructure Waiting for the day when things may normalize (After 10 years of war what is normal)
We arrived in Mozambique in April 1985 with James as project director and me as agriculturalist The health team ( a midwife and doctor ) and the community development worker arrived in late August and the water engineer in January 1986 The six of us live on the project site in a nleal district centre The official language is Portuguese and our official work is in that language However the people generally speak their own languages and so communication below the official level continues to be difficult Still they are very patient with our attempts to communicate and live in their communities
My own work is starting to become more visible Three agricultural technicians and I have organized a program of support for the fdmily sector in agriculture This is largely an education extension system that operates on three levels The first level consists of training zone representatives in practical demonshystrations ofagricultural techniques in their home area ( each zone has roughly 60 families and is represented by one man and woman chosen by their community) The zone reps are linked in training sessions and in countryside visits to the second level - an enquadradore who is basically the official link to the district agricultural system There are only five functioning enquadradores in a district of 110000 or more people so we had pound0 create the agricultural reps to make the enquadradores task possible The training program for the enquadradores is critically important because they have no agriculturaJ background but must collect and transmit agricultural information The third level is the agricultural technicians themselves These young counterparts are likely to be the directors and administrators of the future They are also the direct teaching link to the people
After months of meetings and discussions at every level of village and district structure we swung into operation with the agriculture reps
program and the horticultural crops campaign ThankfuUy some of the long-awaited tools - hoes bush knives and seeds - also arrived It is too early to know what the results might be but we are optimistic that with good rains and no bandits family sector food production will show an improvement this ftest season
James gets the thankless task of organizing logistics supplies deleshygations and the endless bookwork Often caught in the middle of our demands the reali ty of the Australian budget and the nightmare of transshyporting difficult ies he somehow remains Cltllm and diplomatic He spends three weeks in the project office in the district centre at the site and the fourth is spent in the capital Mapmo at the CAA office
Our daughter Leah makes a huge differe n ce to our lives The MozambiGms are enchanted by her James is known as the husband of the mother of the baby I am known as the mother of the baby and Leah is known by her own name throughout the area She comes out with me mornings and spends afternoons with James in the office
As always 1 necd to say morc than there is time for My hope is that this letter wi ll personalize what is happening in southern Africa so that more support will come to stop the war and the terrible sadness all around this region

OAC CO-OP PROGRAM POPULAR WITH STUDENTS AND EMPLOYERS
Co-op education is the only way to go says Janice Parker OAC 86 Her comment is reflective of the overall view held by co-op students and employers alike
The co-operative education proshygram which has been available to OAC students for the past five years formally integrates the students academic srudy with work experience in co-operating employer organishyzations Usually the student alternates four months ofsoldywith four months of work in the agricultu ral industry directly related to his or her field of study
The co-op program provided me with invaluable work experience in the food science field This experience also enabled me to get an overseas job (through an international exshychange association ) inmy field says Janice who worked as a research assistant in an alcohol company in Finland
Janice says the practical lessons learned on work tenus made classshyroom theory easier to understand She also says the co-op program gave her the benefits of increased selfshyconfidence and the ability to present herse lf well at a job interview Employment interviews generally occur on campus in the middle of the academic term preceding each work semester The interviews are comshypetitive in nature as are the salaries paid by employers which usually average S 1100-$ 1500 per month
Kenda Allen OAC 86 says the coshyop program definitely helps with finances Besides earning money you only pay for four months of your education at a time
While in the program Kenda worked terms as a fieldperson with the Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation as a horse show entry clerk with the Royal Wi nter fair and as a rural organization specialist assistant with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food She now works full-time as associate editor of the
Canadian Ay rshire Review which promotes the Ayrshire breed
My experience in the co-op program helped me obtain obtain my present job I al 0 made contacts which w ill continue to benefi t my career says Kenda
By working at a variety of jobs Kenda explains she was able to narrow down her options and fi nd the correct path to take
Kenda says she also enjoyed the break from the books every four months which allowed her to apply what she was learning
Equally Enthusiastic Employers are equally enthusiastic
about the program Paul Nelson OAC 70 MA 72 vice-preSident of manufacturing and technical services at Corporate Foods in Toronto participated in earlyplanning scssions for the co-op program He cant understand why anyone would not choose the p rogram and feels that ifit had been available when he was a student it would have been very beneficial to him
Paul says the program gives students and employers a chance to assess one another during a fXed time-frame If the students do well he says his company is committed to hiring them on a permanent basis when the opportunity arises We always tell them to keep in touch he says We have found Guelph sOldents to be eager capable and adaptable
Doug Flint OAC 85 who spent two work terms with Corporate Foods was hired permanently as a quality assurance and sanitation supervisor In his case the program came full circle when he hired Guelph co-op student Brenda Ternyik as his assistant last summer and Kelly Newell OAC 82 as his permanenr assistant recently
Doug says the program is a good method of screening for both students and employers It helped me decide what [ did and did not want to do career-wise and it set me up for a
permanent job The company in rum was hiring someone they already knew something about
Suzanne Raymond OAC 77 a research and development manager with Pillsbury Canada Ltd in Toronto says her company has hired many coshyop students as research and developshyment technicians Since product development is seasonal the four month time-frame for work terms is especially suitable for Pillsbury Students undertake short-term proshyjects where it would be uneconomical to hire full-time employees
Suzanne says Pillsbury originally got involved with the co-op program from a recruiting standpoint It gives us exposure to the students and we can test how well they work she says It also gives us exposure to I what is happening at the University in terms of research and the food industry
Suzanne says another benefit is the freshness and vitality students bring with them to the job She has found them on the whole to be very good workers
Louis Paul Ricard a manager with Cargill Ltd a grain company that services both domestic and export markets says the co-op program gives his company a good idea of the calibre of student coming out of university today The work they do is a real contribution to the company as well
Cargills first co-op student Don foster OAC 86 has been hired full shytime as a grain merchant While on work terms with CargiU he had jobs in both Ontario and Alberta Don says an advantage of the co-op program is the opportunity to live and work in different areas of the country
Cargill also hired the co -op programs first crop science graduate John Ormrod OAC 85 who now works in Saskatchewan

The Universitys share of the best and brightest first-year students in the physical sciences could well increase with the introduction of a challenging interdisciplinary one-year pilot project called MPC2 (for Mathematics-Physics-Chemistry-Comshyputing Science ) says Professor Ernie McFarland Physics
Professor McFarland chairman of the CPS interdiSciplinary curriculum committee says the basic introductory courses now in place were designed to serve all tbe students in classes that often reach 300 in size Very bright students the committee found were not as stimulated as they could have been
With the courses as they werewe were not attracting the quantity or quality of students we hoped in areas like physics chemistry and bioshychemistry mathematiCs statistics and computing science says Professor McFarland
The committee has designed a number of new first-year courses which require a minimum average of 80 per cent for admission The courses will combine mathematics physics chemistry and computing and are structured to foster a better appreshyciation of the inter-connections between the disCiplines says Professor McFarland The more challenging courses will also enable bright highly qualified and motivated students to choose one or two additional elective courses in their first year
Professor McFarland admits the project is a departure from the usual departmental philosophy and says the one-year trial period will allow CPS to crawl before we walk He says a successful evaluation at the end of the trial period could lead to possible joint degrees in the areas of physics and chemistry or mathematics and computing
It could well be the first stage for a number of other interdisciplinary ventures in the College beyond the
first -year level says Professor Mcfarland
Acting CPS Dean Rod Gentry says the new intensive program will likely attrlct more of the best students to Guelph because in the sciences the best stude nts are very selective consumers Theyre looking for the best program while theyre still in high school
Former CPS Dean now Vice-President AcademicjackMacDonald conceived MPCZ because he believed that the way physical sciences were
being taught was historical and antiquated He says the departmental divisions in universities are almost tribal in nature and often lead to an arbitrary and artificial division of subject matter
Professor MacDonald says MPCZ which will be offered for the first time in September is consistent with the Universitys aims and objectives and is also consistent with the learning objectives in that it takes a holistic viewpoint in the teaching and learning of the material
GLASSBLOWE RHONORED Unive rSity glassblower Anne Hostetter has been honored by the American Scientific Glassblowers Society (ASGS) in Cincinnati Ohio for her paper Quartz EPR Flat Cel The Fischer and Porter Company of Pennsylvania offers the annual Kermit-Fischer Award in recognition of the best paper presented at the previous years symposium
The paper is selected by a jury from the ASGS on the basis of content app li cat ion presentat ion style graphics use and text
A quartz EPR flat cell is a difficult piece of glassware to make Ms Hostetter says but it is useful in EPR spectroscopy because it allows the 5anlple to be pOSitioned in the densest part of the magnetic field without interfe rence from the electric component of the rad iation
Ms Hostetter has used the techshynique described in her paper sucshycessfully for eight to nine years She forms the flat sides of the cell from two pieces of quartz glass with bevelled edges When spaced proshyperly the bevelled glass forms a V into which a length ofquartz piping is fitted and melted to seal the edges The standard spacing between the two pieces of flat glass is 25 mm
although she has made cells as small as 12 mm and as large as I mm
A 25-minute educaHonal videotape about the technique described in Ms Hostetters paper is available through the ASGS

WOMEN IN SCIENCE GATHER
About 80 women gathered on campus in February to hear Dr Lynda Pinnington talk about career planning forwomen in science Dr Pinnjngton beads Pinn ington Associates of Cambridge a consulting firm that focuses on applied productivity improvement techniques for business and industry Discussants for the careers night were Brenda Bonnett OVC 79 a PhD sludent in the Department of Veterinary Micro shybiology and Immunology and Jan Kaufman Library who is on the Preshysidents Advisory Council day care task force
This was the second event planned by an informal group of women scienshytists at Guelph Professors Susan Mclver chair of the Department of Enviro nmenta l Bio logy Mary Beverley-Burton Zoology and Janet Wood Chemistry and Biochemistry have been the moving forces behind this organization which has blosshysomed into a nucleus of about a dozen women representing aU the science colleges at Guelph They say the groups purpose is to increase awareness of the role of women in science and the opportunities and obstacles they may encounter The group also encourages informal netshyworking and social contacts
Weve avoided creating a formal structure Professor McIver says Meetings are held on an irregular basis and there are no official officers
In addition to offering careers nights the group has compiled a list of women in science at Guelph using the criteria ofa degree in science and employment at the University
Questions raised by the group re shysulted in the updating of the 1975 report of the Presidents Task Force on the status of women at the ni shyversity which led to the formation of the Presidents Advisory Committee on Equal Rights for Men and Women at the University of Guelph This committee chaired by Professor McIver will release a report this spring

OAC GRADUATE WRITES FROM MOZAMBIQUE
Ruth Beilin born and raised in Guelph graduated jromjohn F Ross C VI and earned a BA and a Dipshyloma in Agriculture She worked at the University and in Saskatchewan before going to Papua New Guinea with CUSO as an agricultural extension worker There she met her husband an Australian lawyer who was working in rural development After two years in New Guinea she attended Reading University in England and received an MSc in Agriculture Extension She joinedher husband in Australia and together they apPlied to work on anAustralian government project in Mozambique This is the first ofher letters (written in the summer Of 1986) on life and development in that war-torn country Ruth can be contacted at the follOwing address CAA cP 356 Maputo Mozambique
Life in Mozambique is a series of contrasts and challenges The area where we live is a fertile coastal strip that has been cultivated for at least 50 years - some parts longer Coconut palms wave in the breeze - their languid trunks arching over the dense foliage of the cashew trees planted between their rows The latifundia system practised by the Portuguese meant that as a rule local families had less than two hectares each of usually marginal land to farm for subsistence purposltS and that generally they could not grow permanent tree crops on these family spaces Therefore the wealth from these crops remained with the colonial farmers
Today the state is just beginning a large land reform program What it will mean in real terms is difficult to assess given the huge numbers of dislocated families from the interior dry areas and more desperate war zones The theory is that these families will be able to return to their own farm lands and accumulate more land there assuming that the war and
Ruth Beilin OAC 74
these years of drought and fanline will soon be over
The Mozambicans survive on their abilities as farmers The suffering and deprivation have made them strong conservationists sensitive to their crops and soils But some of the obstacles they face are overwhelming - broken (Ools scarce seed loss of animals Everything is a struggle
Village meetings are stimulating and full of lengthy debate Storyshytelling animation dancing and singing form an important part of the culture The present govenunent has used these means (0 awaken a political consciousness among the people who tend to be passive and accept their circumstances
Our group is not radical but we are different and perhaps threatening to this passivity Mozambicans are tired from hard work long years of fighting a declining economy and many reorganizations of agricultural policy We talk about self-sufficiency (which translated means more work) We talk about development but in agricultural terms offer no pesticides (except naturally occuring ones) import no tractors or cultivators and generally seem to be less modern than the Portuguese who left ten years ago We are not just talking
about rehabilitation but a whole developmental philosophy which is distinct from the projects of other development agencies in nearby districts Although the communities we work in agree that the long-term benefits are valid they must wonder when life is going to become easier
Through all this nms the struggle in southern Africa - the link between the apartheid regime in South Africa and the war in Mozanlbique and indeed in aU the frontline states This war destabilizes the countryside and terrorizes the people rfhe longer we live here and witness this nightmare the more we realize that the end of the war will not be because of things or people in Mozambique This is a war supported by the foreign policies of the West Countries that continue to support South Africa give strength to the South African economy strength that is translated into soldiers anlIDunition supplies and support for the bandidosannados - the armed bandits fighting FREUMO the legal Mozambican govenunent
I could weep when President Reagan says the American support for Jonas Savimbi against the Angolan government and Americas refusal to impose sanctions on South Africa maintains the balance of power between East and West He should stand on the ground where the price is being paid and teU the mourning villagers the dying and the maimed that the world is a better place for this carnage and that the chess games ofthe big men are the real value of human life
Many other countries play sinillar ifsmaller or less direct roles with the future ofsouthern Africa The tragedy of this land is the riches and vast potent ial which attract olltside interest and cost it dearly in ternlS of human resources
James and I first heard about the Rural Development Project in August 1984 when we were working for Community Aid Abroad (CAA) in
24
Australia At that time there was optimism about Mozambique The Nkomati Peace Accord was to end South Mrkas support for the bandits in exchange for diminished support from Mozambique for the African National Congress The project was to be an integrated rural development scheme in health water and agrishyculture
But the war has not ended and it is a constant stumbling block to all aspirations and plans not to mention wearing on ones spirit Still that potential and challenge are alluring and we plod on down the developshyment road trying to build up organization and infrastructure Waiting for the day when things may normalize (After 10 years of war what is normal)
We arrived in Mozambique in April 1985 with James as project director and me as agriculturalist The health team ( a midwife and doctor ) and the community development worker arrived in late August and the water engineer in January 1986 The six of us live on the project site in a nleal district centre The official language is Portuguese and our official work is in that language However the people generally speak their own languages and so communication below the official level continues to be difficult Still they are very patient with our attempts to communicate and live in their communities
My own work is starting to become more visible Three agricultural technicians and I have organized a program of support for the fdmily sector in agriculture This is largely an education extension system that operates on three levels The first level consists of training zone representatives in practical demonshystrations ofagricultural techniques in their home area ( each zone has roughly 60 families and is represented by one man and woman chosen by their community) The zone reps are linked in training sessions and in countryside visits to the second level - an enquadradore who is basically the official link to the district agricultural system There are only five functioning enquadradores in a district of 110000 or more people so we had pound0 create the agricultural reps to make the enquadradores task possible The training program for the enquadradores is critically important because they have no agriculturaJ background but must collect and transmit agricultural information The third level is the agricultural technicians themselves These young counterparts are likely to be the directors and administrators of the future They are also the direct teaching link to the people
After months of meetings and discussions at every level of village and district structure we swung into operation with the agriculture reps
program and the horticultural crops campaign ThankfuUy some of the long-awaited tools - hoes bush knives and seeds - also arrived It is too early to know what the results might be but we are optimistic that with good rains and no bandits family sector food production will show an improvement this ftest season
James gets the thankless task of organizing logistics supplies deleshygations and the endless bookwork Often caught in the middle of our demands the reali ty of the Australian budget and the nightmare of transshyporting difficult ies he somehow remains Cltllm and diplomatic He spends three weeks in the project office in the district centre at the site and the fourth is spent in the capital Mapmo at the CAA office
Our daughter Leah makes a huge differe n ce to our lives The MozambiGms are enchanted by her James is known as the husband of the mother of the baby I am known as the mother of the baby and Leah is known by her own name throughout the area She comes out with me mornings and spends afternoons with James in the office
As always 1 necd to say morc than there is time for My hope is that this letter wi ll personalize what is happening in southern Africa so that more support will come to stop the war and the terrible sadness all around this region

OAC CO-OP PROGRAM POPULAR WITH STUDENTS AND EMPLOYERS
Co-op education is the only way to go says Janice Parker OAC 86 Her comment is reflective of the overall view held by co-op students and employers alike
The co-operative education proshygram which has been available to OAC students for the past five years formally integrates the students academic srudy with work experience in co-operating employer organishyzations Usually the student alternates four months ofsoldywith four months of work in the agricultu ral industry directly related to his or her field of study
The co-op program provided me with invaluable work experience in the food science field This experience also enabled me to get an overseas job (through an international exshychange association ) inmy field says Janice who worked as a research assistant in an alcohol company in Finland
Janice says the practical lessons learned on work tenus made classshyroom theory easier to understand She also says the co-op program gave her the benefits of increased selfshyconfidence and the ability to present herse lf well at a job interview Employment interviews generally occur on campus in the middle of the academic term preceding each work semester The interviews are comshypetitive in nature as are the salaries paid by employers which usually average S 1100-$ 1500 per month
Kenda Allen OAC 86 says the coshyop program definitely helps with finances Besides earning money you only pay for four months of your education at a time
While in the program Kenda worked terms as a fieldperson with the Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation as a horse show entry clerk with the Royal Wi nter fair and as a rural organization specialist assistant with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food She now works full-time as associate editor of the
Canadian Ay rshire Review which promotes the Ayrshire breed
My experience in the co-op program helped me obtain obtain my present job I al 0 made contacts which w ill continue to benefi t my career says Kenda
By working at a variety of jobs Kenda explains she was able to narrow down her options and fi nd the correct path to take
Kenda says she also enjoyed the break from the books every four months which allowed her to apply what she was learning
Equally Enthusiastic Employers are equally enthusiastic
about the program Paul Nelson OAC 70 MA 72 vice-preSident of manufacturing and technical services at Corporate Foods in Toronto participated in earlyplanning scssions for the co-op program He cant understand why anyone would not choose the p rogram and feels that ifit had been available when he was a student it would have been very beneficial to him
Paul says the program gives students and employers a chance to assess one another during a fXed time-frame If the students do well he says his company is committed to hiring them on a permanent basis when the opportunity arises We always tell them to keep in touch he says We have found Guelph sOldents to be eager capable and adaptable
Doug Flint OAC 85 who spent two work terms with Corporate Foods was hired permanently as a quality assurance and sanitation supervisor In his case the program came full circle when he hired Guelph co-op student Brenda Ternyik as his assistant last summer and Kelly Newell OAC 82 as his permanenr assistant recently
Doug says the program is a good method of screening for both students and employers It helped me decide what [ did and did not want to do career-wise and it set me up for a
permanent job The company in rum was hiring someone they already knew something about
Suzanne Raymond OAC 77 a research and development manager with Pillsbury Canada Ltd in Toronto says her company has hired many coshyop students as research and developshyment technicians Since product development is seasonal the four month time-frame for work terms is especially suitable for Pillsbury Students undertake short-term proshyjects where it would be uneconomical to hire full-time employees
Suzanne says Pillsbury originally got involved with the co-op program from a recruiting standpoint It gives us exposure to the students and we can test how well they work she says It also gives us exposure to I what is happening at the University in terms of research and the food industry
Suzanne says another benefit is the freshness and vitality students bring with them to the job She has found them on the whole to be very good workers
Louis Paul Ricard a manager with Cargill Ltd a grain company that services both domestic and export markets says the co-op program gives his company a good idea of the calibre of student coming out of university today The work they do is a real contribution to the company as well
Cargills first co-op student Don foster OAC 86 has been hired full shytime as a grain merchant While on work terms with CargiU he had jobs in both Ontario and Alberta Don says an advantage of the co-op program is the opportunity to live and work in different areas of the country
Cargill also hired the co -op programs first crop science graduate John Ormrod OAC 85 who now works in Saskatchewan

PROGRAM AIMS TO ATTRACT BRIGHTEST STUDENTS
By Sandra Couch Public Relations and Information
The Universitys share of the best and brightest first-year students in the physical sciences could well increase with the introduction of a challenging interdisciplinary one-year pilot project called MPC2 (for Mathematics-Physics-Chemistry-Comshyputing Science ) says Professor Ernie McFarland Physics
Professor McFarland chairman of the CPS interdiSciplinary curriculum committee says the basic introductory courses now in place were designed to serve all tbe students in classes that often reach 300 in size Very bright students the committee found were not as stimulated as they could have been
With the courses as they werewe were not attracting the quantity or quality of students we hoped in areas like physics chemistry and bioshychemistry mathematiCs statistics and computing science says Professor McFarland
The committee has designed a number of new first-year courses which require a minimum average of 80 per cent for admission The courses will combine mathematics physics chemistry and computing and are structured to foster a better appreshyciation of the inter-connections between the disCiplines says Professor McFarland The more challenging courses will also enable bright highly qualified and motivated students to choose one or two additional elective courses in their first year
Professor McFarland admits the project is a departure from the usual departmental philosophy and says the one-year trial period will allow CPS to crawl before we walk He says a successful evaluation at the end of the trial period could lead to possible joint degrees in the areas of physics and chemistry or mathematics and computing
It could well be the first stage for a number of other interdisciplinary ventures in the College beyond the
first -year level says Professor Mcfarland
Acting CPS Dean Rod Gentry says the new intensive program will likely attrlct more of the best students to Guelph because in the sciences the best stude nts are very selective consumers Theyre looking for the best program while theyre still in high school
Former CPS Dean now Vice-President AcademicjackMacDonald conceived MPCZ because he believed that the way physical sciences were
being taught was historical and antiquated He says the departmental divisions in universities are almost tribal in nature and often lead to an arbitrary and artificial division of subject matter
Professor MacDonald says MPCZ which will be offered for the first time in September is consistent with the Universitys aims and objectives and is also consistent with the learning objectives in that it takes a holistic viewpoint in the teaching and learning of the material
GLASSBLOWE RHONORED Unive rSity glassblower Anne Hostetter has been honored by the American Scientific Glassblowers Society (ASGS) in Cincinnati Ohio for her paper Quartz EPR Flat Cel The Fischer and Porter Company of Pennsylvania offers the annual Kermit-Fischer Award in recognition of the best paper presented at the previous years symposium
The paper is selected by a jury from the ASGS on the basis of content app li cat ion presentat ion style graphics use and text
A quartz EPR flat cell is a difficult piece of glassware to make Ms Hostetter says but it is useful in EPR spectroscopy because it allows the 5anlple to be pOSitioned in the densest part of the magnetic field without interfe rence from the electric component of the rad iation
Ms Hostetter has used the techshynique described in her paper sucshycessfully for eight to nine years She forms the flat sides of the cell from two pieces of quartz glass with bevelled edges When spaced proshyperly the bevelled glass forms a V into which a length ofquartz piping is fitted and melted to seal the edges The standard spacing between the two pieces of flat glass is 25 mm
although she has made cells as small as 12 mm and as large as I mm
A 25-minute educaHonal videotape about the technique described in Ms Hostetters paper is available through the ASGS

WOMEN IN SCIENCE GATHER
About 80 women gathered on campus in February to hear Dr Lynda Pinnington talk about career planning forwomen in science Dr Pinnjngton beads Pinn ington Associates of Cambridge a consulting firm that focuses on applied productivity improvement techniques for business and industry Discussants for the careers night were Brenda Bonnett OVC 79 a PhD sludent in the Department of Veterinary Micro shybiology and Immunology and Jan Kaufman Library who is on the Preshysidents Advisory Council day care task force
This was the second event planned by an informal group of women scienshytists at Guelph Professors Susan Mclver chair of the Department of Enviro nmenta l Bio logy Mary Beverley-Burton Zoology and Janet Wood Chemistry and Biochemistry have been the moving forces behind this organization which has blosshysomed into a nucleus of about a dozen women representing aU the science colleges at Guelph They say the groups purpose is to increase awareness of the role of women in science and the opportunities and obstacles they may encounter The group also encourages informal netshyworking and social contacts
Weve avoided creating a formal structure Professor McIver says Meetings are held on an irregular basis and there are no official officers
In addition to offering careers nights the group has compiled a list of women in science at Guelph using the criteria ofa degree in science and employment at the University
Questions raised by the group re shysulted in the updating of the 1975 report of the Presidents Task Force on the status of women at the ni shyversity which led to the formation of the Presidents Advisory Committee on Equal Rights for Men and Women at the University of Guelph This committee chaired by Professor McIver will release a report this spring

OAC GRADUATE WRITES FROM MOZAMBIQUE
Ruth Beilin born and raised in Guelph graduated jromjohn F Ross C VI and earned a BA and a Dipshyloma in Agriculture She worked at the University and in Saskatchewan before going to Papua New Guinea with CUSO as an agricultural extension worker There she met her husband an Australian lawyer who was working in rural development After two years in New Guinea she attended Reading University in England and received an MSc in Agriculture Extension She joinedher husband in Australia and together they apPlied to work on anAustralian government project in Mozambique This is the first ofher letters (written in the summer Of 1986) on life and development in that war-torn country Ruth can be contacted at the follOwing address CAA cP 356 Maputo Mozambique
Life in Mozambique is a series of contrasts and challenges The area where we live is a fertile coastal strip that has been cultivated for at least 50 years - some parts longer Coconut palms wave in the breeze - their languid trunks arching over the dense foliage of the cashew trees planted between their rows The latifundia system practised by the Portuguese meant that as a rule local families had less than two hectares each of usually marginal land to farm for subsistence purposltS and that generally they could not grow permanent tree crops on these family spaces Therefore the wealth from these crops remained with the colonial farmers
Today the state is just beginning a large land reform program What it will mean in real terms is difficult to assess given the huge numbers of dislocated families from the interior dry areas and more desperate war zones The theory is that these families will be able to return to their own farm lands and accumulate more land there assuming that the war and
Ruth Beilin OAC 74
these years of drought and fanline will soon be over
The Mozambicans survive on their abilities as farmers The suffering and deprivation have made them strong conservationists sensitive to their crops and soils But some of the obstacles they face are overwhelming - broken (Ools scarce seed loss of animals Everything is a struggle
Village meetings are stimulating and full of lengthy debate Storyshytelling animation dancing and singing form an important part of the culture The present govenunent has used these means (0 awaken a political consciousness among the people who tend to be passive and accept their circumstances
Our group is not radical but we are different and perhaps threatening to this passivity Mozambicans are tired from hard work long years of fighting a declining economy and many reorganizations of agricultural policy We talk about self-sufficiency (which translated means more work) We talk about development but in agricultural terms offer no pesticides (except naturally occuring ones) import no tractors or cultivators and generally seem to be less modern than the Portuguese who left ten years ago We are not just talking
about rehabilitation but a whole developmental philosophy which is distinct from the projects of other development agencies in nearby districts Although the communities we work in agree that the long-term benefits are valid they must wonder when life is going to become easier
Through all this nms the struggle in southern Africa - the link between the apartheid regime in South Africa and the war in Mozanlbique and indeed in aU the frontline states This war destabilizes the countryside and terrorizes the people rfhe longer we live here and witness this nightmare the more we realize that the end of the war will not be because of things or people in Mozambique This is a war supported by the foreign policies of the West Countries that continue to support South Africa give strength to the South African economy strength that is translated into soldiers anlIDunition supplies and support for the bandidosannados - the armed bandits fighting FREUMO the legal Mozambican govenunent
I could weep when President Reagan says the American support for Jonas Savimbi against the Angolan government and Americas refusal to impose sanctions on South Africa maintains the balance of power between East and West He should stand on the ground where the price is being paid and teU the mourning villagers the dying and the maimed that the world is a better place for this carnage and that the chess games ofthe big men are the real value of human life
Many other countries play sinillar ifsmaller or less direct roles with the future ofsouthern Africa The tragedy of this land is the riches and vast potent ial which attract olltside interest and cost it dearly in ternlS of human resources
James and I first heard about the Rural Development Project in August 1984 when we were working for Community Aid Abroad (CAA) in
24
Australia At that time there was optimism about Mozambique The Nkomati Peace Accord was to end South Mrkas support for the bandits in exchange for diminished support from Mozambique for the African National Congress The project was to be an integrated rural development scheme in health water and agrishyculture
But the war has not ended and it is a constant stumbling block to all aspirations and plans not to mention wearing on ones spirit Still that potential and challenge are alluring and we plod on down the developshyment road trying to build up organization and infrastructure Waiting for the day when things may normalize (After 10 years of war what is normal)
We arrived in Mozambique in April 1985 with James as project director and me as agriculturalist The health team ( a midwife and doctor ) and the community development worker arrived in late August and the water engineer in January 1986 The six of us live on the project site in a nleal district centre The official language is Portuguese and our official work is in that language However the people generally speak their own languages and so communication below the official level continues to be difficult Still they are very patient with our attempts to communicate and live in their communities
My own work is starting to become more visible Three agricultural technicians and I have organized a program of support for the fdmily sector in agriculture This is largely an education extension system that operates on three levels The first level consists of training zone representatives in practical demonshystrations ofagricultural techniques in their home area ( each zone has roughly 60 families and is represented by one man and woman chosen by their community) The zone reps are linked in training sessions and in countryside visits to the second level - an enquadradore who is basically the official link to the district agricultural system There are only five functioning enquadradores in a district of 110000 or more people so we had pound0 create the agricultural reps to make the enquadradores task possible The training program for the enquadradores is critically important because they have no agriculturaJ background but must collect and transmit agricultural information The third level is the agricultural technicians themselves These young counterparts are likely to be the directors and administrators of the future They are also the direct teaching link to the people
After months of meetings and discussions at every level of village and district structure we swung into operation with the agriculture reps
program and the horticultural crops campaign ThankfuUy some of the long-awaited tools - hoes bush knives and seeds - also arrived It is too early to know what the results might be but we are optimistic that with good rains and no bandits family sector food production will show an improvement this ftest season

OAC CO-OP PROGRAM POPULAR WITH STUDENTS AND EMPLOYERS
Co-op education is the only way to go says Janice Parker OAC 86 Her comment is reflective of the overall view held by co-op students and employers alike
The co-operative education proshygram which has been available to OAC students for the past five years formally integrates the students academic srudy with work experience in co-operating employer organishyzations Usually the student alternates four months ofsoldywith four months of work in the agricultu ral industry directly related to his or her field of study
The co-op program provided me with invaluable work experience in the food science field This experience also enabled me to get an overseas job (through an international exshychange association ) inmy field says Janice who worked as a research assistant in an alcohol company in Finland
Janice says the practical lessons learned on work tenus made classshyroom theory easier to understand She also says the co-op program gave her the benefits of increased selfshyconfidence and the ability to present herse lf well at a job interview Employment interviews generally occur on campus in the middle of the academic term preceding each work semester The interviews are comshypetitive in nature as are the salaries paid by employers which usually average S 1100-$ 1500 per month
Kenda Allen OAC 86 says the coshyop program definitely helps with finances Besides earning money you only pay for four months of your education at a time
While in the program Kenda worked terms as a fieldperson with the Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation as a horse show entry clerk with the Royal Wi nter fair and as a rural organization specialist assistant with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food She now works full-time as associate editor of the
Canadian Ay rshire Review which promotes the Ayrshire breed
My experience in the co-op program helped me obtain obtain my present job I al 0 made contacts which w ill continue to benefi t my career says Kenda
By working at a variety of jobs Kenda explains she was able to narrow down her options and fi nd the correct path to take
Kenda says she also enjoyed the break from the books every four months which allowed her to apply what she was learning
Equally Enthusiastic Employers are equally enthusiastic
about the program Paul Nelson OAC 70 MA 72 vice-preSident of manufacturing and technical services at Corporate Foods in Toronto participated in earlyplanning scssions for the co-op program He cant understand why anyone would not choose the p rogram and feels that ifit had been available when he was a student it would have been very beneficial to him
Paul says the program gives students and employers a chance to assess one another during a fXed time-frame If the students do well he says his company is committed to hiring them on a permanent basis when the opportunity arises We always tell them to keep in touch he says We have found Guelph sOldents to be eager capable and adaptable
Doug Flint OAC 85 who spent two work terms with Corporate Foods was hired permanently as a quality assurance and sanitation supervisor In his case the program came full circle when he hired Guelph co-op student Brenda Ternyik as his assistant last summer and Kelly Newell OAC 82 as his permanenr assistant recently
Doug says the program is a good method of screening for both students and employers It helped me decide what [ did and did not want to do career-wise and it set me up for a
permanent job The company in rum was hiring someone they already knew something about
Suzanne Raymond OAC 77 a research and development manager with Pillsbury Canada Ltd in Toronto says her company has hired many coshyop students as research and developshyment technicians Since product development is seasonal the four month time-frame for work terms is especially suitable for Pillsbury Students undertake short-term proshyjects where it would be uneconomical to hire full-time employees
Suzanne says Pillsbury originally got involved with the co-op program from a recruiting standpoint It gives us exposure to the students and we can test how well they work she says It also gives us exposure to I what is happening at the University in terms of research and the food industry
Suzanne says another benefit is the freshness and vitality students bring with them to the job She has found them on the whole to be very good workers
Louis Paul Ricard a manager with Cargill Ltd a grain company that services both domestic and export markets says the co-op program gives his company a good idea of the calibre of student coming out of university today The work they do is a real contribution to the company as well
Cargills first co-op student Don foster OAC 86 has been hired full shytime as a grain merchant While on work terms with CargiU he had jobs in both Ontario and Alberta Don says an advantage of the co-op program is the opportunity to live and work in different areas of the country
Cargill also hired the co -op programs first crop science graduate John Ormrod OAC 85 who now works in Saskatchewan

WOMEN IN SCIENCE GATHER
About 80 women gathered on campus in February to hear Dr Lynda Pinnington talk about career planning forwomen in science Dr Pinnjngton beads Pinn ington Associates of Cambridge a consulting firm that focuses on applied productivity improvement techniques for business and industry Discussants for the careers night were Brenda Bonnett OVC 79 a PhD sludent in the Department of Veterinary Micro shybiology and Immunology and Jan Kaufman Library who is on the Preshysidents Advisory Council day care task force
This was the second event planned by an informal group of women scienshytists at Guelph Professors Susan Mclver chair of the Department of Enviro nmenta l Bio logy Mary Beverley-Burton Zoology and Janet Wood Chemistry and Biochemistry have been the moving forces behind this organization which has blosshysomed into a nucleus of about a dozen women representing aU the science colleges at Guelph They say the groups purpose is to increase awareness of the role of women in science and the opportunities and obstacles they may encounter The group also encourages informal netshyworking and social contacts
Weve avoided creating a formal structure Professor McIver says Meetings are held on an irregular basis and there are no official officers
In addition to offering careers nights the group has compiled a list of women in science at Guelph using the criteria ofa degree in science and employment at the University
Questions raised by the group re shysulted in the updating of the 1975 report of the Presidents Task Force on the status of women at the ni shyversity which led to the formation of the Presidents Advisory Committee on Equal Rights for Men and Women at the University of Guelph This committee chaired by Professor McIver will release a report this spring

OAC GRADUATE WRITES FROM MOZAMBIQUE
Ruth Beilin born and raised in Guelph graduated jromjohn F Ross C VI and earned a BA and a Dipshyloma in Agriculture She worked at the University and in Saskatchewan before going to Papua New Guinea with CUSO as an agricultural extension worker There she met her husband an Australian lawyer who was working in rural development After two years in New Guinea she attended Reading University in England and received an MSc in Agriculture Extension She joinedher husband in Australia and together they apPlied to work on anAustralian government project in Mozambique This is the first ofher letters (written in the summer Of 1986) on life and development in that war-torn country Ruth can be contacted at the follOwing address CAA cP 356 Maputo Mozambique
Life in Mozambique is a series of contrasts and challenges The area where we live is a fertile coastal strip that has been cultivated for at least 50 years - some parts longer Coconut palms wave in the breeze - their languid trunks arching over the dense foliage of the cashew trees planted between their rows The latifundia system practised by the Portuguese meant that as a rule local families had less than two hectares each of usually marginal land to farm for subsistence purposltS and that generally they could not grow permanent tree crops on these family spaces Therefore the wealth from these crops remained with the colonial farmers
Today the state is just beginning a large land reform program What it will mean in real terms is difficult to assess given the huge numbers of dislocated families from the interior dry areas and more desperate war zones The theory is that these families will be able to return to their own farm lands and accumulate more land there assuming that the war and
Ruth Beilin OAC 74
these years of drought and fanline will soon be over
The Mozambicans survive on their abilities as farmers The suffering and deprivation have made them strong conservationists sensitive to their crops and soils But some of the obstacles they face are overwhelming - broken (Ools scarce seed loss of animals Everything is a struggle
Village meetings are stimulating and full of lengthy debate Storyshytelling animation dancing and singing form an important part of the culture The present govenunent has used these means (0 awaken a political consciousness among the people who tend to be passive and accept their circumstances
Our group is not radical but we are different and perhaps threatening to this passivity Mozambicans are tired from hard work long years of fighting a declining economy and many reorganizations of agricultural policy We talk about self-sufficiency (which translated means more work) We talk about development but in agricultural terms offer no pesticides (except naturally occuring ones) import no tractors or cultivators and generally seem to be less modern than the Portuguese who left ten years ago We are not just talking
about rehabilitation but a whole developmental philosophy which is distinct from the projects of other development agencies in nearby districts Although the communities we work in agree that the long-term benefits are valid they must wonder when life is going to become easier
Through all this nms the struggle in southern Africa - the link between the apartheid regime in South Africa and the war in Mozanlbique and indeed in aU the frontline states This war destabilizes the countryside and terrorizes the people rfhe longer we live here and witness this nightmare the more we realize that the end of the war will not be because of things or people in Mozambique This is a war supported by the foreign policies of the West Countries that continue to support South Africa give strength to the South African economy strength that is translated into soldiers anlIDunition supplies and support for the bandidosannados - the armed bandits fighting FREUMO the legal Mozambican govenunent
I could weep when President Reagan says the American support for Jonas Savimbi against the Angolan government and Americas refusal to impose sanctions on South Africa maintains the balance of power between East and West He should stand on the ground where the price is being paid and teU the mourning villagers the dying and the maimed that the world is a better place for this carnage and that the chess games ofthe big men are the real value of human life
Many other countries play sinillar ifsmaller or less direct roles with the future ofsouthern Africa The tragedy of this land is the riches and vast potent ial which attract olltside interest and cost it dearly in ternlS of human resources
James and I first heard about the Rural Development Project in August 1984 when we were working for Community Aid Abroad (CAA) in
24
Australia At that time there was optimism about Mozambique The Nkomati Peace Accord was to end South Mrkas support for the bandits in exchange for diminished support from Mozambique for the African National Congress The project was to be an integrated rural development scheme in health water and agrishyculture
But the war has not ended and it is a constant stumbling block to all aspirations and plans not to mention wearing on ones spirit Still that potential and challenge are alluring and we plod on down the developshyment road trying to build up organization and infrastructure Waiting for the day when things may normalize (After 10 years of war what is normal)
We arrived in Mozambique in April 1985 with James as project director and me as agriculturalist The health team ( a midwife and doctor ) and the community development worker arrived in late August and the water engineer in January 1986 The six of us live on the project site in a nleal district centre The official language is Portuguese and our official work is in that language However the people generally speak their own languages and so communication below the official level continues to be difficult Still they are very patient with our attempts to communicate and live in their communities
My own work is starting to become more visible Three agricultural technicians and I have organized a program of support for the fdmily sector in agriculture This is largely an education extension system that operates on three levels The first level consists of training zone representatives in practical demonshystrations ofagricultural techniques in their home area ( each zone has roughly 60 families and is represented by one man and woman chosen by their community) The zone reps are linked in training sessions and in countryside visits to the second level - an enquadradore who is basically the official link to the district agricultural system There are only five functioning enquadradores in a district of 110000 or more people so we had pound0 create the agricultural reps to make the enquadradores task possible The training program for the enquadradores is critically important because they have no agriculturaJ background but must collect and transmit agricultural information The third level is the agricultural technicians themselves These young counterparts are likely to be the directors and administrators of the future They are also the direct teaching link to the people
After months of meetings and discussions at every level of village and district structure we swung into operation with the agriculture reps
program and the horticultural crops campaign ThankfuUy some of the long-awaited tools - hoes bush knives and seeds - also arrived It is too early to know what the results might be but we are optimistic that with good rains and no bandits family sector food production will show an improvement this ftest season
James gets the thankless task of organizing logistics supplies deleshygations and the endless bookwork Often caught in the middle of our demands the reali ty of the Australian budget and the nightmare of transshyporting difficult ies he somehow remains Cltllm and diplomatic He spends three weeks in the project office in the district centre at the site and the fourth is spent in the capital Mapmo at the CAA office
Our daughter Leah makes a huge differe n ce to our lives The MozambiGms are enchanted by her James is known as the husband of the mother of the baby I am known as the mother of the baby and Leah is known by her own name throughout the area She comes out with me mornings and spends afternoons with James in the office
As always 1 necd to say morc than there is time for My hope is that this letter wi ll personalize what is happening in southern Africa so that more support will come to stop the war and the terrible sadness all around this region

OAC CO-OP PROGRAM POPULAR WITH STUDENTS AND EMPLOYERS
Co-op education is the only way to go says Janice Parker OAC 86 Her comment is reflective of the overall view held by co-op students and employers alike
The co-operative education proshygram which has been available to OAC students for the past five years formally integrates the students academic srudy with work experience in co-operating employer organishyzations Usually the student alternates four months ofsoldywith four months of work in the agricultu ral industry directly related to his or her field of study
The co-op program provided me with invaluable work experience in the food science field This experience also enabled me to get an overseas job (through an international exshychange association ) inmy field says Janice who worked as a research assistant in an alcohol company in Finland
Janice says the practical lessons learned on work tenus made classshyroom theory easier to understand She also says the co-op program gave her the benefits of increased selfshyconfidence and the ability to present herse lf well at a job interview Employment interviews generally occur on campus in the middle of the academic term preceding each work semester The interviews are comshypetitive in nature as are the salaries paid by employers which usually average S 1100-$ 1500 per month
Kenda Allen OAC 86 says the coshyop program definitely helps with finances Besides earning money you only pay for four months of your education at a time
While in the program Kenda worked terms as a fieldperson with the Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation as a horse show entry clerk with the Royal Wi nter fair and as a rural organization specialist assistant with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food She now works full-time as associate editor of the
Canadian Ay rshire Review which promotes the Ayrshire breed
My experience in the co-op program helped me obtain obtain my present job I al 0 made contacts which w ill continue to benefi t my career says Kenda
By working at a variety of jobs Kenda explains she was able to narrow down her options and fi nd the correct path to take
Kenda says she also enjoyed the break from the books every four months which allowed her to apply what she was learning
Equally Enthusiastic Employers are equally enthusiastic
about the program Paul Nelson OAC 70 MA 72 vice-preSident of manufacturing and technical services at Corporate Foods in Toronto participated in earlyplanning scssions for the co-op program He cant understand why anyone would not choose the p rogram and feels that ifit had been available when he was a student it would have been very beneficial to him
Paul says the program gives students and employers a chance to assess one another during a fXed time-frame If the students do well he says his company is committed to hiring them on a permanent basis when the opportunity arises We always tell them to keep in touch he says We have found Guelph sOldents to be eager capable and adaptable
Doug Flint OAC 85 who spent two work terms with Corporate Foods was hired permanently as a quality assurance and sanitation supervisor In his case the program came full circle when he hired Guelph co-op student Brenda Ternyik as his assistant last summer and Kelly Newell OAC 82 as his permanenr assistant recently
Doug says the program is a good method of screening for both students and employers It helped me decide what [ did and did not want to do career-wise and it set me up for a
permanent job The company in rum was hiring someone they already knew something about
Suzanne Raymond OAC 77 a research and development manager with Pillsbury Canada Ltd in Toronto says her company has hired many coshyop students as research and developshyment technicians Since product development is seasonal the four month time-frame for work terms is especially suitable for Pillsbury Students undertake short-term proshyjects where it would be uneconomical to hire full-time employees
Suzanne says Pillsbury originally got involved with the co-op program from a recruiting standpoint It gives us exposure to the students and we can test how well they work she says It also gives us exposure to I what is happening at the University in terms of research and the food industry
Suzanne says another benefit is the freshness and vitality students bring with them to the job She has found them on the whole to be very good workers
Louis Paul Ricard a manager with Cargill Ltd a grain company that services both domestic and export markets says the co-op program gives his company a good idea of the calibre of student coming out of university today The work they do is a real contribution to the company as well
Cargills first co-op student Don foster OAC 86 has been hired full shytime as a grain merchant While on work terms with CargiU he had jobs in both Ontario and Alberta Don says an advantage of the co-op program is the opportunity to live and work in different areas of the country
Cargill also hired the co -op programs first crop science graduate John Ormrod OAC 85 who now works in Saskatchewan

OAC GRADUATE WRITES FROM MOZAMBIQUE
Ruth Beilin born and raised in Guelph graduated jromjohn F Ross C VI and earned a BA and a Dipshyloma in Agriculture She worked at the University and in Saskatchewan before going to Papua New Guinea with CUSO as an agricultural extension worker There she met her husband an Australian lawyer who was working in rural development After two years in New Guinea she attended Reading University in England and received an MSc in Agriculture Extension She joinedher husband in Australia and together they apPlied to work on anAustralian government project in Mozambique This is the first ofher letters (written in the summer Of 1986) on life and development in that war-torn country Ruth can be contacted at the follOwing address CAA cP 356 Maputo Mozambique
Life in Mozambique is a series of contrasts and challenges The area where we live is a fertile coastal strip that has been cultivated for at least 50 years - some parts longer Coconut palms wave in the breeze - their languid trunks arching over the dense foliage of the cashew trees planted between their rows The latifundia system practised by the Portuguese meant that as a rule local families had less than two hectares each of usually marginal land to farm for subsistence purposltS and that generally they could not grow permanent tree crops on these family spaces Therefore the wealth from these crops remained with the colonial farmers
Today the state is just beginning a large land reform program What it will mean in real terms is difficult to assess given the huge numbers of dislocated families from the interior dry areas and more desperate war zones The theory is that these families will be able to return to their own farm lands and accumulate more land there assuming that the war and
Ruth Beilin OAC 74
these years of drought and fanline will soon be over
The Mozambicans survive on their abilities as farmers The suffering and deprivation have made them strong conservationists sensitive to their crops and soils But some of the obstacles they face are overwhelming - broken (Ools scarce seed loss of animals Everything is a struggle
Village meetings are stimulating and full of lengthy debate Storyshytelling animation dancing and singing form an important part of the culture The present govenunent has used these means (0 awaken a political consciousness among the people who tend to be passive and accept their circumstances
Our group is not radical but we are different and perhaps threatening to this passivity Mozambicans are tired from hard work long years of fighting a declining economy and many reorganizations of agricultural policy We talk about self-sufficiency (which translated means more work) We talk about development but in agricultural terms offer no pesticides (except naturally occuring ones) import no tractors or cultivators and generally seem to be less modern than the Portuguese who left ten years ago We are not just talking
about rehabilitation but a whole developmental philosophy which is distinct from the projects of other development agencies in nearby districts Although the communities we work in agree that the long-term benefits are valid they must wonder when life is going to become easier
Through all this nms the struggle in southern Africa - the link between the apartheid regime in South Africa and the war in Mozanlbique and indeed in aU the frontline states This war destabilizes the countryside and terrorizes the people rfhe longer we live here and witness this nightmare the more we realize that the end of the war will not be because of things or people in Mozambique This is a war supported by the foreign policies of the West Countries that continue to support South Africa give strength to the South African economy strength that is translated into soldiers anlIDunition supplies and support for the bandidosannados - the armed bandits fighting FREUMO the legal Mozambican govenunent
I could weep when President Reagan says the American support for Jonas Savimbi against the Angolan government and Americas refusal to impose sanctions on South Africa maintains the balance of power between East and West He should stand on the ground where the price is being paid and teU the mourning villagers the dying and the maimed that the world is a better place for this carnage and that the chess games ofthe big men are the real value of human life
Many other countries play sinillar ifsmaller or less direct roles with the future ofsouthern Africa The tragedy of this land is the riches and vast potent ial which attract olltside interest and cost it dearly in ternlS of human resources
James and I first heard about the Rural Development Project in August 1984 when we were working for Community Aid Abroad (CAA) in
24
Australia At that time there was optimism about Mozambique The Nkomati Peace Accord was to end South Mrkas support for the bandits in exchange for diminished support from Mozambique for the African National Congress The project was to be an integrated rural development scheme in health water and agrishyculture
But the war has not ended and it is a constant stumbling block to all aspirations and plans not to mention wearing on ones spirit Still that potential and challenge are alluring and we plod on down the developshyment road trying to build up organization and infrastructure Waiting for the day when things may normalize (After 10 years of war what is normal)
We arrived in Mozambique in April 1985 with James as project director and me as agriculturalist The health team ( a midwife and doctor ) and the community development worker arrived in late August and the water engineer in January 1986 The six of us live on the project site in a nleal district centre The official language is Portuguese and our official work is in that language However the people generally speak their own languages and so communication below the official level continues to be difficult Still they are very patient with our attempts to communicate and live in their communities
My own work is starting to become more visible Three agricultural technicians and I have organized a program of support for the fdmily sector in agriculture This is largely an education extension system that operates on three levels The first level consists of training zone representatives in practical demonshystrations ofagricultural techniques in their home area ( each zone has roughly 60 families and is represented by one man and woman chosen by their community) The zone reps are linked in training sessions and in countryside visits to the second level - an enquadradore who is basically the official link to the district agricultural system There are only five functioning enquadradores in a district of 110000 or more people so we had pound0 create the agricultural reps to make the enquadradores task possible The training program for the enquadradores is critically important because they have no agriculturaJ background but must collect and transmit agricultural information The third level is the agricultural technicians themselves These young counterparts are likely to be the directors and administrators of the future They are also the direct teaching link to the people
After months of meetings and discussions at every level of village and district structure we swung into operation with the agriculture reps
program and the horticultural crops campaign ThankfuUy some of the long-awaited tools - hoes bush knives and seeds - also arrived It is too early to know what the results might be but we are optimistic that with good rains and no bandits family sector food production will show an improvement this ftest season
James gets the thankless task of organizing logistics supplies deleshygations and the endless bookwork Often caught in the middle of our demands the reali ty of the Australian budget and the nightmare of transshyporting difficult ies he somehow remains Cltllm and diplomatic He spends three weeks in the project office in the district centre at the site and the fourth is spent in the capital Mapmo at the CAA office
Our daughter Leah makes a huge differe n ce to our lives The MozambiGms are enchanted by her James is known as the husband of the mother of the baby I am known as the mother of the baby and Leah is known by her own name throughout the area She comes out with me mornings and spends afternoons with James in the office
As always 1 necd to say morc than there is time for My hope is that this letter wi ll personalize what is happening in southern Africa so that more support will come to stop the war and the terrible sadness all around this region

OAC CO-OP PROGRAM POPULAR WITH STUDENTS AND EMPLOYERS
Co-op education is the only way to go says Janice Parker OAC 86 Her comment is reflective of the overall view held by co-op students and employers alike
The co-operative education proshygram which has been available to OAC students for the past five years formally integrates the students academic srudy with work experience in co-operating employer organishyzations Usually the student alternates four months ofsoldywith four months of work in the agricultu ral industry directly related to his or her field of study
The co-op program provided me with invaluable work experience in the food science field This experience also enabled me to get an overseas job (through an international exshychange association ) inmy field says Janice who worked as a research assistant in an alcohol company in Finland
Janice says the practical lessons learned on work tenus made classshyroom theory easier to understand She also says the co-op program gave her the benefits of increased selfshyconfidence and the ability to present herse lf well at a job interview Employment interviews generally occur on campus in the middle of the academic term preceding each work semester The interviews are comshypetitive in nature as are the salaries paid by employers which usually average S 1100-$ 1500 per month
Kenda Allen OAC 86 says the coshyop program definitely helps with finances Besides earning money you only pay for four months of your education at a time
While in the program Kenda worked terms as a fieldperson with the Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation as a horse show entry clerk with the Royal Wi nter fair and as a rural organization specialist assistant with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food She now works full-time as associate editor of the
Canadian Ay rshire Review which promotes the Ayrshire breed
My experience in the co-op program helped me obtain obtain my present job I al 0 made contacts which w ill continue to benefi t my career says Kenda
By working at a variety of jobs Kenda explains she was able to narrow down her options and fi nd the correct path to take
Kenda says she also enjoyed the break from the books every four months which allowed her to apply what she was learning
Equally Enthusiastic Employers are equally enthusiastic
about the program Paul Nelson OAC 70 MA 72 vice-preSident of manufacturing and technical services at Corporate Foods in Toronto participated in earlyplanning scssions for the co-op program He cant understand why anyone would not choose the p rogram and feels that ifit had been available when he was a student it would have been very beneficial to him
Paul says the program gives students and employers a chance to assess one another during a fXed time-frame If the students do well he says his company is committed to hiring them on a permanent basis when the opportunity arises We always tell them to keep in touch he says We have found Guelph sOldents to be eager capable and adaptable
Doug Flint OAC 85 who spent two work terms with Corporate Foods was hired permanently as a quality assurance and sanitation supervisor In his case the program came full circle when he hired Guelph co-op student Brenda Ternyik as his assistant last summer and Kelly Newell OAC 82 as his permanenr assistant recently
Doug says the program is a good method of screening for both students and employers It helped me decide what [ did and did not want to do career-wise and it set me up for a
permanent job The company in rum was hiring someone they already knew something about
Suzanne Raymond OAC 77 a research and development manager with Pillsbury Canada Ltd in Toronto says her company has hired many coshyop students as research and developshyment technicians Since product development is seasonal the four month time-frame for work terms is especially suitable for Pillsbury Students undertake short-term proshyjects where it would be uneconomical to hire full-time employees
Suzanne says Pillsbury originally got involved with the co-op program from a recruiting standpoint It gives us exposure to the students and we can test how well they work she says It also gives us exposure to I what is happening at the University in terms of research and the food industry
Suzanne says another benefit is the freshness and vitality students bring with them to the job She has found them on the whole to be very good workers
Louis Paul Ricard a manager with Cargill Ltd a grain company that services both domestic and export markets says the co-op program gives his company a good idea of the calibre of student coming out of university today The work they do is a real contribution to the company as well
Cargills first co-op student Don foster OAC 86 has been hired full shytime as a grain merchant While on work terms with CargiU he had jobs in both Ontario and Alberta Don says an advantage of the co-op program is the opportunity to live and work in different areas of the country
Cargill also hired the co -op programs first crop science graduate John Ormrod OAC 85 who now works in Saskatchewan

NOT VALID IF CANCELLED OR REVOKED
OAC GRADUATE WRITES FROM MOZAMBIQUE
Ruth Beilin born and raised in Guelph graduated jromjohn F Ross C VI and earned a BA and a Dipshyloma in Agriculture She worked at the University and in Saskatchewan before going to Papua New Guinea with CUSO as an agricultural extension worker There she met her husband an Australian lawyer who was working in rural development After two years in New Guinea she attended Reading University in England and received an MSc in Agriculture Extension She joinedher husband in Australia and together they apPlied to work on anAustralian government project in Mozambique This is the first ofher letters (written in the summer Of 1986) on life and development in that war-torn country Ruth can be contacted at the follOwing address CAA cP 356 Maputo Mozambique
Life in Mozambique is a series of contrasts and challenges The area where we live is a fertile coastal strip that has been cultivated for at least 50 years - some parts longer Coconut palms wave in the breeze - their languid trunks arching over the dense foliage of the cashew trees planted between their rows The latifundia system practised by the Portuguese meant that as a rule local families had less than two hectares each of usually marginal land to farm for subsistence purposltS and that generally they could not grow permanent tree crops on these family spaces Therefore the wealth from these crops remained with the colonial farmers
Today the state is just beginning a large land reform program What it will mean in real terms is difficult to assess given the huge numbers of dislocated families from the interior dry areas and more desperate war zones The theory is that these families will be able to return to their own farm lands and accumulate more land there assuming that the war and
Ruth Beilin OAC 74
these years of drought and fanline will soon be over
The Mozambicans survive on their abilities as farmers The suffering and deprivation have made them strong conservationists sensitive to their crops and soils But some of the obstacles they face are overwhelming - broken (Ools scarce seed loss of animals Everything is a struggle
Village meetings are stimulating and full of lengthy debate Storyshytelling animation dancing and singing form an important part of the culture The present govenunent has used these means (0 awaken a political consciousness among the people who tend to be passive and accept their circumstances
Our group is not radical but we are different and perhaps threatening to this passivity Mozambicans are tired from hard work long years of fighting a declining economy and many reorganizations of agricultural policy We talk about self-sufficiency (which translated means more work) We talk about development but in agricultural terms offer no pesticides (except naturally occuring ones) import no tractors or cultivators and generally seem to be less modern than the Portuguese who left ten years ago We are not just talking
about rehabilitation but a whole developmental philosophy which is distinct from the projects of other development agencies in nearby districts Although the communities we work in agree that the long-term benefits are valid they must wonder when life is going to become easier
Through all this nms the struggle in southern Africa - the link between the apartheid regime in South Africa and the war in Mozanlbique and indeed in aU the frontline states This war destabilizes the countryside and terrorizes the people rfhe longer we live here and witness this nightmare the more we realize that the end of the war will not be because of things or people in Mozambique This is a war supported by the foreign policies of the West Countries that continue to support South Africa give strength to the South African economy strength that is translated into soldiers anlIDunition supplies and support for the bandidosannados - the armed bandits fighting FREUMO the legal Mozambican govenunent
I could weep when President Reagan says the American support for Jonas Savimbi against the Angolan government and Americas refusal to impose sanctions on South Africa maintains the balance of power between East and West He should stand on the ground where the price is being paid and teU the mourning villagers the dying and the maimed that the world is a better place for this carnage and that the chess games ofthe big men are the real value of human life
Many other countries play sinillar ifsmaller or less direct roles with the future ofsouthern Africa The tragedy of this land is the riches and vast potent ial which attract olltside interest and cost it dearly in ternlS of human resources
James and I first heard about the Rural Development Project in August 1984 when we were working for Community Aid Abroad (CAA) in
24
Australia At that time there was optimism about Mozambique The Nkomati Peace Accord was to end South Mrkas support for the bandits in exchange for diminished support from Mozambique for the African National Congress The project was to be an integrated rural development scheme in health water and agrishyculture
But the war has not ended and it is a constant stumbling block to all aspirations and plans not to mention wearing on ones spirit Still that potential and challenge are alluring and we plod on down the developshyment road trying to build up organization and infrastructure Waiting for the day when things may normalize (After 10 years of war what is normal)
We arrived in Mozambique in April 1985 with James as project director and me as agriculturalist The health team ( a midwife and doctor ) and the community development worker arrived in late August and the water engineer in January 1986 The six of us live on the project site in a nleal district centre The official language is Portuguese and our official work is in that language However the people generally speak their own languages and so communication below the official level continues to be difficult Still they are very patient with our attempts to communicate and live in their communities
My own work is starting to become more visible Three agricultural technicians and I have organized a program of support for the fdmily sector in agriculture This is largely an education extension system that operates on three levels The first level consists of training zone representatives in practical demonshystrations ofagricultural techniques in their home area ( each zone has roughly 60 families and is represented by one man and woman chosen by their community) The zone reps are linked in training sessions and in countryside visits to the second level - an enquadradore who is basically the official link to the district agricultural system There are only five functioning enquadradores in a district of 110000 or more people so we had pound0 create the agricultural reps to make the enquadradores task possible The training program for the enquadradores is critically important because they have no agriculturaJ background but must collect and transmit agricultural information The third level is the agricultural technicians themselves These young counterparts are likely to be the directors and administrators of the future They are also the direct teaching link to the people
After months of meetings and discussions at every level of village and district structure we swung into operation with the agriculture reps
program and the horticultural crops campaign ThankfuUy some of the long-awaited tools - hoes bush knives and seeds - also arrived It is too early to know what the results might be but we are optimistic that with good rains and no bandits family sector food production will show an improvement this ftest season
James gets the thankless task of organizing logistics supplies deleshygations and the endless bookwork Often caught in the middle of our demands the reali ty of the Australian budget and the nightmare of transshyporting difficult ies he somehow remains Cltllm and diplomatic He spends three weeks in the project office in the district centre at the site and the fourth is spent in the capital Mapmo at the CAA office
Our daughter Leah makes a huge differe n ce to our lives The MozambiGms are enchanted by her James is known as the husband of the mother of the baby I am known as the mother of the baby and Leah is known by her own name throughout the area She comes out with me mornings and spends afternoons with James in the office
As always 1 necd to say morc than there is time for My hope is that this letter wi ll personalize what is happening in southern Africa so that more support will come to stop the war and the terrible sadness all around this region

OAC CO-OP PROGRAM POPULAR WITH STUDENTS AND EMPLOYERS
Co-op education is the only way to go says Janice Parker OAC 86 Her comment is reflective of the overall view held by co-op students and employers alike
The co-operative education proshygram which has been available to OAC students for the past five years formally integrates the students academic srudy with work experience in co-operating employer organishyzations Usually the student alternates four months ofsoldywith four months of work in the agricultu ral industry directly related to his or her field of study
The co-op program provided me with invaluable work experience in the food science field This experience also enabled me to get an overseas job (through an international exshychange association ) inmy field says Janice who worked as a research assistant in an alcohol company in Finland
Janice says the practical lessons learned on work tenus made classshyroom theory easier to understand She also says the co-op program gave her the benefits of increased selfshyconfidence and the ability to present herse lf well at a job interview Employment interviews generally occur on campus in the middle of the academic term preceding each work semester The interviews are comshypetitive in nature as are the salaries paid by employers which usually average S 1100-$ 1500 per month
Kenda Allen OAC 86 says the coshyop program definitely helps with finances Besides earning money you only pay for four months of your education at a time
While in the program Kenda worked terms as a fieldperson with the Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation as a horse show entry clerk with the Royal Wi nter fair and as a rural organization specialist assistant with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food She now works full-time as associate editor of the
Canadian Ay rshire Review which promotes the Ayrshire breed
My experience in the co-op program helped me obtain obtain my present job I al 0 made contacts which w ill continue to benefi t my career says Kenda
By working at a variety of jobs Kenda explains she was able to narrow down her options and fi nd the correct path to take
Kenda says she also enjoyed the break from the books every four months which allowed her to apply what she was learning
Equally Enthusiastic Employers are equally enthusiastic
about the program Paul Nelson OAC 70 MA 72 vice-preSident of manufacturing and technical services at Corporate Foods in Toronto participated in earlyplanning scssions for the co-op program He cant understand why anyone would not choose the p rogram and feels that ifit had been available when he was a student it would have been very beneficial to him
Paul says the program gives students and employers a chance to assess one another during a fXed time-frame If the students do well he says his company is committed to hiring them on a permanent basis when the opportunity arises We always tell them to keep in touch he says We have found Guelph sOldents to be eager capable and adaptable
Doug Flint OAC 85 who spent two work terms with Corporate Foods was hired permanently as a quality assurance and sanitation supervisor In his case the program came full circle when he hired Guelph co-op student Brenda Ternyik as his assistant last summer and Kelly Newell OAC 82 as his permanenr assistant recently
Doug says the program is a good method of screening for both students and employers It helped me decide what [ did and did not want to do career-wise and it set me up for a
permanent job The company in rum was hiring someone they already knew something about
Suzanne Raymond OAC 77 a research and development manager with Pillsbury Canada Ltd in Toronto says her company has hired many coshyop students as research and developshyment technicians Since product development is seasonal the four month time-frame for work terms is especially suitable for Pillsbury Students undertake short-term proshyjects where it would be uneconomical to hire full-time employees
Suzanne says Pillsbury originally got involved with the co-op program from a recruiting standpoint It gives us exposure to the students and we can test how well they work she says It also gives us exposure to I what is happening at the University in terms of research and the food industry
Suzanne says another benefit is the freshness and vitality students bring with them to the job She has found them on the whole to be very good workers
Louis Paul Ricard a manager with Cargill Ltd a grain company that services both domestic and export markets says the co-op program gives his company a good idea of the calibre of student coming out of university today The work they do is a real contribution to the company as well
Cargills first co-op student Don foster OAC 86 has been hired full shytime as a grain merchant While on work terms with CargiU he had jobs in both Ontario and Alberta Don says an advantage of the co-op program is the opportunity to live and work in different areas of the country
Cargill also hired the co -op programs first crop science graduate John Ormrod OAC 85 who now works in Saskatchewan

NOT VALID IF CANCELLED OR REVOKED
Australia At that time there was optimism about Mozambique The Nkomati Peace Accord was to end South Mrkas support for the bandits in exchange for diminished support from Mozambique for the African National Congress The project was to be an integrated rural development scheme in health water and agrishyculture
But the war has not ended and it is a constant stumbling block to all aspirations and plans not to mention wearing on ones spirit Still that potential and challenge are alluring and we plod on down the developshyment road trying to build up organization and infrastructure Waiting for the day when things may normalize (After 10 years of war what is normal)
We arrived in Mozambique in April 1985 with James as project director and me as agriculturalist The health team ( a midwife and doctor ) and the community development worker arrived in late August and the water engineer in January 1986 The six of us live on the project site in a nleal district centre The official language is Portuguese and our official work is in that language However the people generally speak their own languages and so communication below the official level continues to be difficult Still they are very patient with our attempts to communicate and live in their communities
My own work is starting to become more visible Three agricultural technicians and I have organized a program of support for the fdmily sector in agriculture This is largely an education extension system that operates on three levels The first level consists of training zone representatives in practical demonshystrations ofagricultural techniques in their home area ( each zone has roughly 60 families and is represented by one man and woman chosen by their community) The zone reps are linked in training sessions and in countryside visits to the second level - an enquadradore who is basically the official link to the district agricultural system There are only five functioning enquadradores in a district of 110000 or more people so we had pound0 create the agricultural reps to make the enquadradores task possible The training program for the enquadradores is critically important because they have no agriculturaJ background but must collect and transmit agricultural information The third level is the agricultural technicians themselves These young counterparts are likely to be the directors and administrators of the future They are also the direct teaching link to the people
After months of meetings and discussions at every level of village and district structure we swung into operation with the agriculture reps
program and the horticultural crops campaign ThankfuUy some of the long-awaited tools - hoes bush knives and seeds - also arrived It is too early to know what the results might be but we are optimistic that with good rains and no bandits family sector food production will show an improvement this ftest season
James gets the thankless task of organizing logistics supplies deleshygations and the endless bookwork Often caught in the middle of our demands the reali ty of the Australian budget and the nightmare of transshyporting difficult ies he somehow remains Cltllm and diplomatic He spends three weeks in the project office in the district centre at the site and the fourth is spent in the capital Mapmo at the CAA office
Our daughter Leah makes a huge differe n ce to our lives The MozambiGms are enchanted by her James is known as the husband of the mother of the baby I am known as the mother of the baby and Leah is known by her own name throughout the area She comes out with me mornings and spends afternoons with James in the office
As always 1 necd to say morc than there is time for My hope is that this letter wi ll personalize what is happening in southern Africa so that more support will come to stop the war and the terrible sadness all around this region

OAC CO-OP PROGRAM POPULAR WITH STUDENTS AND EMPLOYERS
Co-op education is the only way to go says Janice Parker OAC 86 Her comment is reflective of the overall view held by co-op students and employers alike
The co-operative education proshygram which has been available to OAC students for the past five years formally integrates the students academic srudy with work experience in co-operating employer organishyzations Usually the student alternates four months ofsoldywith four months of work in the agricultu ral industry directly related to his or her field of study
The co-op program provided me with invaluable work experience in the food science field This experience also enabled me to get an overseas job (through an international exshychange association ) inmy field says Janice who worked as a research assistant in an alcohol company in Finland
Janice says the practical lessons learned on work tenus made classshyroom theory easier to understand She also says the co-op program gave her the benefits of increased selfshyconfidence and the ability to present herse lf well at a job interview Employment interviews generally occur on campus in the middle of the academic term preceding each work semester The interviews are comshypetitive in nature as are the salaries paid by employers which usually average S 1100-$ 1500 per month
Kenda Allen OAC 86 says the coshyop program definitely helps with finances Besides earning money you only pay for four months of your education at a time
While in the program Kenda worked terms as a fieldperson with the Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation as a horse show entry clerk with the Royal Wi nter fair and as a rural organization specialist assistant with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food She now works full-time as associate editor of the
Canadian Ay rshire Review which promotes the Ayrshire breed
My experience in the co-op program helped me obtain obtain my present job I al 0 made contacts which w ill continue to benefi t my career says Kenda
By working at a variety of jobs Kenda explains she was able to narrow down her options and fi nd the correct path to take
Kenda says she also enjoyed the break from the books every four months which allowed her to apply what she was learning
Equally Enthusiastic Employers are equally enthusiastic
about the program Paul Nelson OAC 70 MA 72 vice-preSident of manufacturing and technical services at Corporate Foods in Toronto participated in earlyplanning scssions for the co-op program He cant understand why anyone would not choose the p rogram and feels that ifit had been available when he was a student it would have been very beneficial to him
Paul says the program gives students and employers a chance to assess one another during a fXed time-frame If the students do well he says his company is committed to hiring them on a permanent basis when the opportunity arises We always tell them to keep in touch he says We have found Guelph sOldents to be eager capable and adaptable
Doug Flint OAC 85 who spent two work terms with Corporate Foods was hired permanently as a quality assurance and sanitation supervisor In his case the program came full circle when he hired Guelph co-op student Brenda Ternyik as his assistant last summer and Kelly Newell OAC 82 as his permanenr assistant recently
Doug says the program is a good method of screening for both students and employers It helped me decide what [ did and did not want to do career-wise and it set me up for a
permanent job The company in rum was hiring someone they already knew something about
Suzanne Raymond OAC 77 a research and development manager with Pillsbury Canada Ltd in Toronto says her company has hired many coshyop students as research and developshyment technicians Since product development is seasonal the four month time-frame for work terms is especially suitable for Pillsbury Students undertake short-term proshyjects where it would be uneconomical to hire full-time employees
Suzanne says Pillsbury originally got involved with the co-op program from a recruiting standpoint It gives us exposure to the students and we can test how well they work she says It also gives us exposure to I what is happening at the University in terms of research and the food industry
Suzanne says another benefit is the freshness and vitality students bring with them to the job She has found them on the whole to be very good workers
Louis Paul Ricard a manager with Cargill Ltd a grain company that services both domestic and export markets says the co-op program gives his company a good idea of the calibre of student coming out of university today The work they do is a real contribution to the company as well
Cargills first co-op student Don foster OAC 86 has been hired full shytime as a grain merchant While on work terms with CargiU he had jobs in both Ontario and Alberta Don says an advantage of the co-op program is the opportunity to live and work in different areas of the country
Cargill also hired the co -op programs first crop science graduate John Ormrod OAC 85 who now works in Saskatchewan

OAC CO-OP PROGRAM POPULAR WITH STUDENTS AND EMPLOYERS
Co-op education is the only way to go says Janice Parker OAC 86 Her comment is reflective of the overall view held by co-op students and employers alike
The co-operative education proshygram which has been available to OAC students for the past five years formally integrates the students academic srudy with work experience in co-operating employer organishyzations Usually the student alternates four months ofsoldywith four months of work in the agricultu ral industry directly related to his or her field of study
The co-op program provided me with invaluable work experience in the food science field This experience also enabled me to get an overseas job (through an international exshychange association ) inmy field says Janice who worked as a research assistant in an alcohol company in Finland
Janice says the practical lessons learned on work tenus made classshyroom theory easier to understand She also says the co-op program gave her the benefits of increased selfshyconfidence and the ability to present herse lf well at a job interview Employment interviews generally occur on campus in the middle of the academic term preceding each work semester The interviews are comshypetitive in nature as are the salaries paid by employers which usually average S 1100-$ 1500 per month
Kenda Allen OAC 86 says the coshyop program definitely helps with finances Besides earning money you only pay for four months of your education at a time
While in the program Kenda worked terms as a fieldperson with the Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation as a horse show entry clerk with the Royal Wi nter fair and as a rural organization specialist assistant with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food She now works full-time as associate editor of the
Canadian Ay rshire Review which promotes the Ayrshire breed
My experience in the co-op program helped me obtain obtain my present job I al 0 made contacts which w ill continue to benefi t my career says Kenda
By working at a variety of jobs Kenda explains she was able to narrow down her options and fi nd the correct path to take
Kenda says she also enjoyed the break from the books every four months which allowed her to apply what she was learning
Equally Enthusiastic Employers are equally enthusiastic
about the program Paul Nelson OAC 70 MA 72 vice-preSident of manufacturing and technical services at Corporate Foods in Toronto participated in earlyplanning scssions for the co-op program He cant understand why anyone would not choose the p rogram and feels that ifit had been available when he was a student it would have been very beneficial to him
Paul says the program gives students and employers a chance to assess one another during a fXed time-frame If the students do well he says his company is committed to hiring them on a permanent basis when the opportunity arises We always tell them to keep in touch he says We have found Guelph sOldents to be eager capable and adaptable
Doug Flint OAC 85 who spent two work terms with Corporate Foods was hired permanently as a quality assurance and sanitation supervisor In his case the program came full circle when he hired Guelph co-op student Brenda Ternyik as his assistant last summer and Kelly Newell OAC 82 as his permanenr assistant recently
Doug says the program is a good method of screening for both students and employers It helped me decide what [ did and did not want to do career-wise and it set me up for a
permanent job The company in rum was hiring someone they already knew something about
Suzanne Raymond OAC 77 a research and development manager with Pillsbury Canada Ltd in Toronto says her company has hired many coshyop students as research and developshyment technicians Since product development is seasonal the four month time-frame for work terms is especially suitable for Pillsbury Students undertake short-term proshyjects where it would be uneconomical to hire full-time employees
Suzanne says Pillsbury originally got involved with the co-op program from a recruiting standpoint It gives us exposure to the students and we can test how well they work she says It also gives us exposure to I what is happening at the University in terms of research and the food industry
Suzanne says another benefit is the freshness and vitality students bring with them to the job She has found them on the whole to be very good workers
Louis Paul Ricard a manager with Cargill Ltd a grain company that services both domestic and export markets says the co-op program gives his company a good idea of the calibre of student coming out of university today The work they do is a real contribution to the company as well
Cargills first co-op student Don foster OAC 86 has been hired full shytime as a grain merchant While on work terms with CargiU he had jobs in both Ontario and Alberta Don says an advantage of the co-op program is the opportunity to live and work in different areas of the country
Cargill also hired the co -op programs first crop science graduate John Ormrod OAC 85 who now works in Saskatchewan
