A Message From Your New UGM President

Dr Ron Downey ove 61

Assuming the presidency of the niversity of Guelph Alumni Association following Ross Parry CSS 80 poses a formidable task The incumbent will find it difficult to equal a goal as lofty as the building of A1unmi House

Now we have a campus home What can the UGAA plan to achieve in the coming year7 In its next phase of growth the Association will assist the constituent CoUege Alumni Associations in achieving their membership objectives Surely the support of all alumni for the University ofGuelph is a worthy objective Strong College A1unmi Associations mean a strong UGAA Students and senior alumni through their own associations will contrishybute significandy ro our strength The ultimate goal to direct the resources of all LIGAA alumni to support the institution

I would be remiss iff didn t acknowledge the countless hours that alumni volunteers and staff contribute to the management and day-to-day work of the Association Thanks to the Board of Directors and the Department of Alumni Affairs and Development And thank you Ros for two great years

Ron Downey OVC 61 UGAA President

OVC 125 YEARS OF TEACHING AND RESEARCH IN VETERINARY MEDICINE Many early attempts to establish veterinary schools in North America failed both before and after Andrew Smith an 1861 graduate ofEdinburgh Veterinary School set foot on Canashydian soil Yet the college he founded in 1862 is now the oldest veterinary school in continuous operation on this continent

The Ontario Veterinary College had something the others lacked Dr Smiths foresight to begin with a practical four-week course for farmers to make them acquainted with the principles of their important art and a close relationship with both the government of Upper Canada and later the provincial government

Appointed by the Upper Canada Board of Agriculture Dr Smith opershyated the College initially as a private college later by charter from 1862 until his retirement in 1908 The first lectures were free to interested young farmers TI1e first three students grad shyuated in 1866 after completing a two-year course covering anatomy physiology materica medica and surgery

By the end of the century almost 160 students a year were graduating Tuition fees were $60 for a six-month session plus $5 for dissection room and registration_ Students had to find their own dissecting material and the S3 to $5 cost per horse was usuaUy shared The 250 students required up to 100 specimens each year resulting in the almost constant movement of animals in and out of the Temperance Street College The traffic afforded many opportunities for student pranks

Dr Smiths successor Edward Grange inherited Smiths discipline problems but not his school stmcture In 1908 the College became a proshyvincial government institution and was affiliated with the University of Toronto

Move to Guelph

Principal Charles McGilvray who came to the College from Winnipeg

Dr james Gillies ave 26 and his granddaughter joan ave 88 push the button to open the doors to avCs new large animal facility

in 1918 pushed to relocate the Colshylege in Guelph in 1922 a move that paved the way for the future Located across the street from OAC it now had access to a large number and variety of farm animals The once horse-oriented ve terinary training centre turned its attention to the needs of a more mechanized society demanding the products of foodshyproducing animals

Known as a man who got things done Dr McGilvray also pushed for the 1920 Veterinary Practice Act requ ir ing that veterinarians be licenced to practise in Ontario and effectively dissolved the legendary London Veterinary Correspondence School a perennial thorn in the side of OVe He extended the Coil ge c urriculu m to four years and strengthened ties with the University ofToronto by adopting matriculation entrancc requirements He also opened OVCs doors to women by admitting the first female student in 1924

Under the direction of two more principals - Andrew MacNabb ( 1945-52) and Trevor Jones ( 1952shy68) - the College grew into an active student training and research centre

By 1952 the total number of graduates had exceeded 5500 there was a four-year enrolment of 272 students and 45 faculty_ A quota syslem of four female students a year was in effect so women could be booked to work late-night clinic hours in pairs

(n 1974 ftrst-year enrolment was increased in an effort to meet the Canadian demand for veterinarians Dean Dennis Howell successor to Dr Jones later led a fact-finding commission that recommended the establishment of a fourth Canadian veterinary school in Prince Edward Island

Today only 100 of the 600 to 700 who apply to OVC each year are accepted and enrolment criteria ensures that OVC students are the cream of the crop

OVC has always maintained close ties With government Dr Smiths grants from the Upper Canada Board of Agriculture were a contributing factor to his schools early success OVC began its second century by developing new guidel ines for negotiating grants and by establishing a new funding base for the College Its teaching function remains the responsibility of the federal and proshyvincial ministries of education but the clinical hospital is now supported by the agriculture ministries

Despite a freeze on capital funding in the 1970s OVC acquired new facilities for biomedical sciences pathology microbiology and immunoshylogy c1incial studies and the OVC branch library

Dr Ole Nielsen ove 56 becan1e dean of OVC in January 1985 sucshyceeding Douglas Maplesden who had led the College into a new era ofhigh tech in both teaching and research

ave GETTING OLDER AND BETTER T he OVC dedicated new faciliries June 19 that will upgrade its teaching research and service functions The new computer teaching lab large animal admission and examination are-lS and state-of-the-art diagnostic and surgical fucilities might be unrecogshynizable to founder Andrew Smith but the OVC objectives they enhance are in keeping with his commonsense approach to veterinary medicine

John Wise OAC 56A and Jack Riddell OAC 57 federal and provinshycial agriculture ministers brought greetings from their governments to the opening ceremony Dr Robert James Pinkney of Milton and other members ofthe Class of 3 7 dedicated two sugar maples commemorating the Colleges 125th anniversary and 50th ann iversary of their own graduation

Funded by equal grants from the federal and provincial governments the new facilities represent Phase I of a long-term redevelopment project for the College that will provide much-needed space for animals pershysonnel and technology The hospital addition includes admission examinshyation and surgical areas that should enhance the efficiency quality and extent of animal care at the College

New surgical equipment includes a hoist table that can raise a sedated animal from floor level and transport it into the operating room and a tiltshytable that restores an animal to a standing position as it recovers from anaesthetic Closed-circuit television will enable a large group of students to get a surgeons view ofprocedures with the opportunity to replay the tape instead of having to gown and crowd into a small operating room

The addition also provides more office space for faculty and students a home for the new Department of Population Medicine and head shyquarters for the hospitals computershyoperated management system

Many of the improvements in diagshynostic areas will increase the scope of co-operation between OVC and the new Equine Restarch Centre says

john Wise OAG 56A FederalMinisterof Agriculture andJack Riddell OAC 57 Ontario Minister Of Agriculture and Food led the first horses through the doors to oves new large animal facility during opening ceremonies

OVC Dean Ole Nielsen The hospital now h1S separate admission areas for horses and food animals a fibre optics and ophthalmology room with con shytrolled lighting and squeeze stock and an electrodiagnostic room deshysigned for minimal electrical intershyference A large circular lunging area

is designed to magnify the echo of a horses breathing while eliminating frightening shadows

Renovations have also upgraded existing laboratory facilities in bioshymedical sciences and clinical studies The College can now expand its continuing education offerings

ANNIVERSARY CONFERENCE An Anniversary Conference proshymising to be an exceptional opporshytunity for learning and fun will highlight oves 125th anniversary celebrations

Mounted with the assistance and co-operation of Ontarios veterinary associations and academies this is one ofthe most ambitious continuing education programs ever offered at OVe It will be held Thursday September 24 ( evening) to Saturday September 26 co -inciding with Homecoming Weekend

THE CAMPAIGN GETS $16 MILLION BOOST FROM PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT

Guc1phs capital campaign got a $16 million boost from the Ontario Ministry of Colleges and niversities ( MCU) May 25 to bring the end-ofshyMay campaign total to 548956170 Eighty-one per cent ofthe S60 million objective has been met in the first nine months of the five-year campaign

I am absolutely delighted to have reached this milestone this early in The Campaign says Marjorie Millar director Alumni Affairs and Developshyment Bur it is still a five -year campaign We will have to overshoot our target by a least 10 per cent to adequately fund the building projects

The MCUs commitment announshyced in simultaneous news conferences in Toronto and Guelph will cover two-thirds of the cost of a new 524 shymillion environmental biology horti shycultural science building on campus The remaining S8 million will come from other contributions to The Campaign

Rick Ferraro Arts 7 I MPP Jor Wellington South announcedMeUs gift oJ $16 million at a [n-ess conJershyence in Guelph May 25 He is seen here at the press conJerence with OAC Dean Freeman McEwen (left) andPresident Burt Matthews ( right)

Greg Sorbara Minister of Colleges and Universities says the building project reflects government recogni shytion that the revitalization of agri shy

culture and the protection of the environment are two of the most important challenges facing Ontario and Canada

Guelphs department of Horticulshytural Science is the only one of its kind at an Ontario university and the only one in Canada offering a doctoral program The department ofEnvironshymental Biology is the only such department in North America

niversity President Burt Matthews described the funding news as a godsend Although these two departments are leaders in leaching research and development he says they have had difficulties in meeting their obligations due to outdated and inadequate facilities

The proposed site for the new building is adjacent to Graham Hall President Matthews says the pwject shouLd go to tender in January 1989 Construction is expected to take about two years

IVAN TAYLOR A FRIEND TO STUDENTS AND HORSES

Duringhis 39 years ar the University Ivan Taylor attended the births of more than 300 foals So it was not surprising thal he had a connection with one of the Percherons used in the ground breaking ceremony which marked the start of construction of the Equine Research Centre this spring Ivan was present at the birth of the Percherons mother Duchess bred at OAC

Hes likely forgotten more about horses than the rest of us could ever hope ro learn in the first place an onlooker at the ceremony was overshyheard to say about Ivan

The onlooker could have been any one of hundreds of students Ivan trained to show and care for horses over the years

He had an interest in people as well as horses and whenever a student needed help he was there He was practical dependable conscientious and extremely knowledgeable about horses His equine talents were outstanding says Bruce Stone OAC 53 MSA 54 Associate Dean ofOAC

Ivan first acquired a feel for horses as a youngster on his fathers farm When he began working at OAC in 1946 he was known as a teamster someone who drove teams of horses to do the tleld work There was only one tractor at the University so horseshypower got most of the work done Ivan recalls spending several hours a week cleaning and shining the brassshymounted harness worn by the horses at that time

When asked about his skill with horses Ivan modestly attributes it to the late Professor Orval Kennedy with whom he worked for many years

At first we had 80 ro 100 horses We used some for work and some to teach field husbandry We even used them to take students on sleigh rides We broke in a lot of colts he says

Ivan remembers in particular training six horse hitches to pur on displays at Farm and Home Week an

OAC eveOl which lasted until the mid sixries He says he always looked forward to helping students prepare and rrain their horses for College Royal as well

In the sixties the College began to dispense wirh heavy draught horses until eventually it just had some light horses Ivan finished out his niversity career apound manager of the bull tesring station at Arkell

Dr Claire Rennie OAC 47 assistant deputy minister OMAF says During my years in the Department of Animal and Poultry Science at the UniverSity I was thankful many times thar we had a person like Ivan responsible for specific operations at rhe Arkell Research Sration He managed the beef bull performance testing promiddot gram as though ir was his very own

Ivan retired in May 1986 He now works part-time in the wholesale business and sometimes judges horses at fall fairs

Dr Russ Willoughby OVC 57

director of the Equine Research Centre invited Ivan to participate in the ground breaking ceremony because he is a very fine man who has helped hundreds ofpeople at this

niversity He was the key person looking after OLLr horses for many years

Ivan says It was a nice honor to be there

SOIL EROSION GETS SPECIAL ATTENTION

T he new Centre for Soil and Water Conservation will provide a focal point for research on the degradation of soil and water resources says the Centres director Land Resource Science Professor Murray Miller OAC 53

Soil erosion costs Ontario farmers an estimated $68 million a year in nutriem and yield losses says Dr Miller [n 19S4 a Senate report on soil conservation described erosion as the most serious agricultural crisis in Canadas history and predicted the loss of a major portion of Canadas agricultural capability ifprompt action were not taken

The loss of productive topsoil is not the only problem Soil erosion is the cause of major pollution of Ontarios Great Lakes Runoff from farm land is the source of about twoshythirds of the phosphorus that is desshytroying marine life in Lake Erie Dr Miller says

The problem has become so serious that the federal government and province of Ontario have agreed to spend 830 million over tlve years to reduce phosphorus inputs to the lakes And the Omario Ministry of Agriculshyntre and Food has established a soiJ

TURFGRASS INSTITUTE The University will become a centre of Canadian turfgrass research edushycation and extension now that Senate has given the go-ahead to establish a Guelph Turfgrass Institute (GTI)

Sponsored by the Ontario Ministry ofAgriculrure and Food the niversity and the turfgrass industry GTI - the first centre of its kind in Canada shywill be housed in a new building on Stone Road

GTI will support a provincial turfshygrass industry valued at more than 240 million It will create a favorable

environment for research in turfgrass science an extension program and courses and seminars in ntrfgrass

Dr Murray Miller OAC 53

and water management branch to put greater emphasis on this area

There is a serious need for research on soil and water conservation says Dr Miller and Guelph will be much better able to meet that need with a co-ordlnated program on campus

About 25 tlculty members in various disciplines at the University have expershytise in soil and water conservation Dr Miller expects the Centre to increase the visibility and accessibility of Guelphs expertise allowing Guelph to assist government industry and other groups with soil and water conservation problems

One of the Centres first contracts is with Agriculture Canadas Soil and Water Environmental Enhancement Program to prepare an in-depth background report on soil and water conservation in southwestern Ontario

production and management at the associate diploma undergraduate and graduate levels

Turfgrass research has gone on well here since its beginnings back in the 1940s says Professor Lee Burpee Environmental Biology who has been working with colleagues for two years to establish a lurfgrass institute GTI would put us all together encourage diSCUSSion help morale and give us and the ulrfgrass industry more visishybiliry Six faculry in three departments are involved in turfgrass research In 1985 S6 the UniversityS turfgrass scientists spent more than SOO hours on extension activities

HORTICULTURALISTS FILE PATENT APPLICATION FOR TRIAZINEmiddotRESISTANT CROPS

By Owen Roberts O ffice of Research

One of the few places where farmers still have to hack at weeds with a hand hoe is among their rows ofbroccoIi cabbage cauliflower and Brussels sprouts - the cole crops Few effective herbicides exist for these crops The need for manual labor has kept the hoe busy but slowed the development of a Canadian cole crop industry

A breakthrough at the University however could not only make hand hoeing a chore of the past but heighten the importance of cole crops in Canadian agriculture Dr Renald Ayotte OAC 82 and a recent PhD graduate in Horticultural Science and his supervisors Professors Pat f lamey and Vince Souza-Machado OAC PhD 76 have filed a patent application for cole crops varieties that are resistant to the triazine fanli1y of herbicides

ormally these broad leaf plants are killed by triazine herbicides but the new plants have genetic traits that make them invulnerable to that common herbicide group Dr Ayotte says this research will find immediate application in the field

The secret is the development of a seed with triazine-resistant cytoplasm he says By cro sbreeding and backshycrossing cole crops with spring rapeshyseed (a Guelph-developed triazineshyresistant plant) the researchers created new plant bearing the nuclear genes of the cole crops and the ltylOplasmic genes of the rapeseed The result is a triazine-resistant cole crop

Breeding herbicide resistance into plants is a relatively new way of dealing with weeds in horticultural crops The traditional chemical approach has been [Q develop new compounds or extend the use of established herbicides to crops But because of the increasing costs of research and development the unshyattractive economics of herbicides for low-acreage crops and the strinshygent controls over registration standard few horticultural herbicides

Dr Renald Ayotte OAC 82

have been brought onstream It is these factors that led to this col crop project Dr Ayone says

The development of the traizineshyresistant plants could have a wideshy

spread effect on the production of cole crops which are gaining inshycreasing a c eptance by health shyconscious consumers Cauliflower sales in Canada for example have doubled over the last five years to about 824 million annuaUy

Controlling broadIeaf weed species like wild mustard and shepherds purse will not onJy reduce weed competi tion with the cole crop plants but eradicate al ternative hosts of pests and disease says Dr Ayotte And the mechanical harvesting of cole crops will be made easier by the absence of tall weeds which can clog harvesting equipment

In addition to eliminating the need fo r hand hoeing the plants will offer farmers new alternatives in crop selection says Dr Ayotte

Response by seed companies to the triazine resi tance has been good says Chris Ostrovski technology devel o pment offi cer Offi ce of Research He expects the plants (Q be popular with cole crop producers thro ughout North America and Europe as well as in China where cole crops are a staple of the diet

RESEARCH BOOSTED BY MINISTRY RELOCATION

~ricultural research at the Univershysity will benefit from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food (OMAF) decision to move its headshyquarters and over 500 staff from Toronto to Guelph

The ministrys relocation here signals and solidifies the Universitys position as the leading agricultural research institution in Canada says Dr Larry Milligan Dean of Research It is a major step toward our goal of establishing the niversity as a world centre for sustained agricultural research and technology transfer

The decision to relocate OMAF headquarters is consistent with the Ontario governments decentrali shy

zation program The announcement was part of the April 28 throne peech Relocation is expected to be complete by 1991

In 1987-88 OMAF will contribute over S31 million towards agricultural research education and services at the UniverSity This funding helps support 478 agricultural research proshyjects at OAC and OVe

No other university in Canada has the very special and entirely compleshymentary relationship with its primary external research funding source that Guelph shares with OMM says Dr Milligan With the relocation that rapport can onJy grow

OVC GRADUATE HELPS SLEEPING CHILDREN AROUND THE WORLD

Give a child a comfortable nights rest and it helps to take his mind off his hunger and conserve his energy for the demands of the next day

That s the philosophy behind Sleeping Children Around the World (SCAW) a registered Canadian charitshyable organization founded by Murray and the late Margaret Dryden parents of National Hockey League goalshytenders Dave and Ken It s an organishyzation that has given Dr Gordon S BroW11 OVC 45 of Harrow a very rewarding purpose in li fe since retirement

Gordon opened a veterinary pracshytice in Essex in 1946 and was joined 11 years later by Dr Douglas McKelvie OVC 47 The practice evolved into a busy one treating both large and small animals but a car accident in 1980 made it impossible for Gordon to continue with the large animal part He sold the practice and opened a small animal clinic in Kingsville which he operated until retiring in 1986

While on an Alaskan cruise in 1977 Gordon and his wife June met the Drydens who told them about SCAW

We were impressed with their compassion for the oppressed chilshydren in the Third World countries and their strong desire to help by supplying comfort reports Gordon

The Browns became close friends with the Drydens and began to support their precious project In 1982 Murray Dryden invited Gordon to join him in distributing bed-kits in the Third World Each kit consists of a groundsheet mattress shee ts bl anket pillow and pillow case pajamas clothing and sometimes mosquito netting

SCAW is supported by private donashytion Every dollar donated is used to provide the bed-kits nothing is siphoned off for administration or travel expenses The money is sent to existing organizations in Third World countries like Rotary Kiwanis the Salvation Army Canadian Jesuits and

Dr Gordon S Brown OVC 45 and his wife June

Pentecostal missionaries It is their responsibility to purchase materials and have the ki ts made up

When I saw first -hand the tremen shydous need and joy upon receiving the bed-kits on that first trip [ had to continue and make this project a part of my life says Gordon He has now made four trips at his 0W11 expense iOlO India and the Hin1alayas Pakistan Bangladesh Sri Lanka Thailand and the Philippines On the last two trips his wife has accompanied him and become equally enthusiastic They make the trips to witness the distrishy

bution of the ki ts and take photos of the children holding the kits and labels with the donors names on them These photos are then sent to the donors as proof that the kits are being received

Each trip takes the Browns away from their home six to seven weeks in February and March This year 12000 bed-kits will be distributed

A 1985 SCAW newsletter reports on one distribution scene In Sri Lanka the Inner Wheel (Wives of Rotarians ) intricately planned a week of d istributions in 13 d ifferent locations One was a refugee camp where a few hundred people driven out of the northern part of the island by the Tamils had taken refuge in a Catholic Church Theywere sleeping on the cement floor inety of these fami lies had witnessed their husbands and fathers lined up and shot A water tnIck came in once a day as well as a food truck We had only 100 kits for this great need Our hearts really wenl out to these people

The Browns are plCltLied to describe their SCAW trips to large or small groups Thcy may be contacted at Box 1 Blue Water Beach RR 1 Harrow Ontario NOR IGO ( 519 ) 738-6587

RADIATION EQUIPMENT FURTHERS CANCER RESEARCH

A donation of orthovoltage and cobalt radiation equipment from Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto will enable OVC to establish a radioshytherapy unit in its small animal clinic by the end of the year The gift of the used equipment will cut the estimated $250000 cost of the unit by ahout half Funds are being sought from alumni and other sources for site development of the unit

The hospital learned ofoves need for a unit while involved in joint research on the radiation treatment of dogs with lymphoma cancer in 1983 Princess Margaret researchers developed a way to preserve bone marrow while irradiating the entire body The new treatment had exeelshy

lent potential to extend remission limes in patienrs Because canine and human lymphomas arc s imilar Princess Margaret officials asked ave to carry out research on dogs using the hospitals facilities

OVC researchers treated 14 dogs with lymphoma In II of those the tumors decreased significantly in size and did not reappear in some cases until SlX months later Without treat shyment veterinarians expected the dogs had about a month to live TIle results were encouraging although not at all conclusive because of the small number of research subjects

The project stopped in 1985 pri shymarily because of staffing and space

constraints at Princess Margaret When the new radiotherapy unit is in place veterinarians wi ll resume research to find ways of increasing the duration of the effectiveness of radiation treatment Princeslt Margaret rtsearchers will explore human applications

The research could lead to work in other cancers that act similarly in dogs and humans such as osteoshysarcoma the disease suffered by Terry Fox

NEW DEPARTMENT TO FOCUS ON HEALTH OF GROUPS

A new department of population medicine at ove is focusing on tbe health of groups of animals rathe r than individuals particularly on-farm species

The department draws personnel from the departments of Clinical Studies and Veterinary Microbiology and Immunology

OVC Dean Ole Nielsen says its important for the College to have a department whose basic philosophy is concerned with the health of the group rather than the individual Its particularly important for the agri shyculnlre industry because modern food

production tends to work with large groups

Population medicine is the study of the frequency distribution and cost of disease and the inter-relationships among disease managemem enshyvironment and productivity It also involves applied strategies for health management and the prevention and control of disease

Dr ielsen says population medishyc ine is in line with the new health maintenance orientation of courses in OVCs new curriculum and it capitalizes on many ofOllr streng[hs It is also in Line with the needs of

vcterinary medicine in the future he says

As we move to larger and more complex farming operations and the economic crunch worsens there will be more emphaSiS on effiCiency and cost-effectiveness he says Population medicine is concerned with the disshytribution causes and costs of disease in animals There is emphasis on numeracy using quantitative data to measure the cost benefits of health care

Dr Nielsen says the new department will put ove in the forefront in thc modern approach to health maintenshyance in food-pn ducing animals

Dve BRIEFLY

Ove has launched a new fundshyraising p roject called Pet Trust The object is to raise money for research into problems and diseases affecting small or companion animals to further work already proceeding in such areas as oncology ophthalmology orthoshypedics reconsrmctive surgery organ dysfunction lOaesthesia infectious diseases animal behavior and human animal bonding and to provide fu nds for fellowships

Kits containing information about the program have been sent out to every veterinary practice in Ontario and response has been heartening

A Board of Tmstees will approve research projects and grants establish policy and generally promote the Pet Trust Annual reports will also be issued

DOES P EQUAL NP By Mary Dickieson

Pub lic Relations and Informa tion

One of the most perplexing proshyblems in computer science may have been solved by Professor Ted Swan who has a joint appointment in the departments of Mathematics and Statistics and Computing and Inforshymation Science He has written a paper offering proof that P=NP To the layman th is means that we will now be able to solve problems that we formerly thought we could not he says

Professor Bill Smith chair of the Department of Mathematics and Statisshytics says that if Dr Swarts results are verified they will really be quite earth-shattering and exceptional shyof far -reaching significance in mathematics

Dr Swart cautions that the jury is stili ou t on whether his approach will be proved or disproved by his peers but already his pronouncement has caused a stir in the computer world The findings are of considerable interest to everyone working in this area says Professor Smith and they are an important contribution to the problem whether or not they are eventually accepted as stated

Dr Swart says his results are bound to be met by a great deal of proshyfessional suspicion because they are contrary to the prevailing thought Most people think that P does not equal P

Although the results are still theoreshytical Professor Smith and Dr Swart agree they could have a number of practical applications Industry commerce finance and most other sectors of society that use computers could benefit from Dr Swart s adshyvancement of one of the ftmdamental aspects of computer science the use of algorithms

People solve problems on comshyputers by using precisely defined sets of steps called algOrithms says Dr_ Swart Of the two classes ofcomputer problems class P refers to those for which good polynomial time

algorithms exist enabling them to be solved effiCiently on a computer Dr Swart cites the example of the minishymal connector problem which asks for a scheme to cormect a group of cities by telephone wires in such a way that the amount of wire used is minima l Good algori thms allow this problem to be solved easily regardshyless of the number ofcities involved he says

Computer problems in the second class - NP - are considered hard to solve_Large problems in this cateshygory cannot be solved on even the most powerful computers in the world because there are no algorithms that allow solution of the problem without escalating the number of calculations to a level beyond the capacity of computers Dr Swart says there are at least 1 000 known examples of proshyblems in this class of which the travelling salesman problem is one of the best known Even for a relatively small group of cities such as the 50 US capitals there has been no solushytion to the problem of devising a route that will enable a salesman to visit each ci ty only once while trashyvelling a mininlal distance

My results say these two classes of problems are equal and that there do exist good algorithms for solving this type of computer problem he says

To prove his results Dr Swarts paper cites a similar problem the Hamilton circuit which is illustrated by asking the question Can you visit each of several cities in succession Without backtracking

Dr Swarts problem establishes that the Hamilton circuit problem can be solved in polynomial time by conshyverting a mathematical programming formulation of the problem into a linear programming formulation and using existing polynomial ti me algorithms as established by Kachiyan and Kannarkar

The Significant feature of these results is that they will enable comshyputers to tackle larger problems with more unknowns and get the results more quickly

COMPUTER SCIENCE PROGRAM APPEALS TO STUDENTS

Guelphs new masters program in computer science which enrolled its fi rst students last September aims to move advanced information techshynology out of the research laboratory and into practical application says co-ordinator Professor Tom Wi on It combines graduate courses in the latest research developments with an applied thesis

Because there are only 13 students each has what can be called a tailorshymade program says Professor Wilson The Department of Computing and Information Science plans to accept another seven students this September and expects enrolment to grow to 30 with in the next few years - deshypending on the availability of faculty and space Even with that number the program will be smaller than others in the province so the level of personal contact and flexibil ity will remain high

Students in the program are often involved in problems that are of interest to other departments About two-thirds of the students are Guelph graduates - many with double degrees

TI1e undergraduate backgrounds of the students range from medicinal chemistry to philosophy and their research interests are just as varied as the following profiles indicate

Talking to Dolphins

Karl Langton CPS 84 is combining research in artificial intelligence with a long-standing interest in dolphin

RETIRING PROFESSOR HONORED

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry hosted a symposium in the spring on the molecular mechanshyisms underlying vertebrate visual transduction The symposium honored Professor Bill Abrahamson who retired May 1 It provided a review of current approaches to a field in which Professor AbJhamson s

communication He is developing softshyware that will allow dolphin comshymunication researchers at the nivershysity of Hawaii to extract information from a database using a natural language such as English rather than a computer language This would free them from having to learn comshyplex computer skills

Karl whose thesis adviser is Proshyfessor Mary Mcleish travelled to Hawaii in April to install a natural language processing system at the Kewalo Basin Marine Mammal laborashytory and to become more fami liar with the computers available there A graduate of Gue lph s computer science program Karl at 0 has an undergraduate degree in medicinal chemistry from Concordia University and has done graduate work in neuroshyscience at McMaster Medical Centre

Howard Pel ls special interest is fibre optics and their use in wide-area communication networks sing light instead of electricity offers amazing capabilities he says because teleshyphone television and computer data can be transmitted over a single piece of pi astie

Howard who is working under Professor Wilson has a joint BA C86) from Guelph in computer science and philosophy The undershygraouate program in computer science focused more on software says Howard but his preference is hardware The master s program allows him to devote his time to this first love

contributions are widely appreciated Speakers included Dr Barry Honig

DR JOHN POWEll RECEIVES MEDAL OF MERIT

Dr John Powell who retired as professor of Human Kinetics in 1984 received the niversitys Medal of Merit at spring convocation in recognishytion not only of his important contrishybutions to establishing the study of human structure and function at the University but also in appreciation of his dedication to the physical wellshybeing of mankind

During 20 years of service to the niversity Dr Powell served two

CSS GRAD AIMS FOR OLYMPIC GOLD Andre Bordeleau C5S 79 MA 85 is determined to earn an Olympic gold medal in running game target shooting - no matter how long it takes

It may take a long time Im a late bloomer but I figure I have another 20 years to try Age is not a big problem in my sport and at least J didnt have to sacrifice my childhood to get where I am today says the 30-yearmiddotold political science graduate

Running game target requires the shooter using a 22-caJibre rifle to hit a wild pig moving on a 10-metre rail at 72 mph 144 mph or mixed speed middot from a distance of 50 metres There are many different versions of the sport but the Olympic discipline consists of 30 shots at the slower speed (slow runs ) and 30 at the faster speed ( fast runs)

Andre Bordeleau CSS 79 MA 85 is aimingfor O~yrnpic gold in running game target shooting

The CSSAlumniAssociation cut a cake during Alumni Weekend to celebrate its 10th anniversary Taking part were lef t to right Sandra Couch and Barbara Chance board directorsjohn Aviano newpresident and his wife Inara and facui~y advisor Victor Ujim

Andre became captivated by the sport of shooting when he had a job as an offi cial d river at the L976 Olympics in Montreal

Like most French-Canadian boys I wanted to p lay hockey for the Montreal Canadiens I have the size - 6-feet-l and 215 pounds - bUl there is a problem I cant skate Something to do with small curvatures in my spine nothing serious but enough to throw out my balance So since I couldnt be a professional hockey player I decided to become an Olympic amateur athlete

In pursuit of his goal Andre left his home in Montreal to study at the

niversity of Guelph in 1976 I wanted to srudy some place like Ontario where I could become bishylingual and Guelph was one of only three universities in the province with a rifle range he explains The University of Guelph Rifle Team won three Ontario championships from 1979-81

Andre started out on the Universitys rifle team shooting at stationary tarmiddot gets bu t decided to concentrate on running gan1e because it is more suited to his hyperactive personality He went to the Canadian championships in 1977 and placed ninth At a national competition in 1981 he set two Canadian records one of which stood for three years In 1984 he won the provincial championships and set a provincial record which still stands Also in 1984 he was invited to the Olympic trials and despite sustaining a concussion in a car accident on the first day of shooting he placed third Unfortunately only the first and second place winners qualified for the Olympics

In 1986 Andre went to his first international match the World Championships in East Gemlany He shot below his average and placed 46th in the 10 metre air rifle event an indoor scaled-down version ofmnning game target

1 was disappointed but I learned a lot Before I went [wasnt ranked in

24

the world at all At least now Im ranked he says

Undaunted he is currently training for the 1988 Olympics with national running game target team coach Dick Esseltine of Peterborough and he tries to practise at the Guelph rifle range eve1 day

Running game target shooting re shyquires concentration physica l stamina eye-band co-ordination and balance But staying in financial shape is a bigger challenge for Andre than staying physically fit Unable to find a job relating to his degrees he works as a night supervisor at Stonehenge a drug rehabilitation ce ntre near Guelph While he meets his liing expenses he is struggling to pay back stude nt loans and keep up with expenses incurred as an amateur athlete

Although he estimates he has dug a 860000 hole since making the move to Guelph and devoting himself to shootinghe has no regrets He says Guelph has been a good experience culturally and linguistically He views it as the place where he started a rich amateur career and as he plods on toward Olympic gold he takes satisshyfaction in his many smaller accomshyplishments

I believe in pursuing excellence Ive set the ultimate goal ( OLympic gold) and Im going to do my best to achieve it

INDUSTRIAL ORGAN IZA TIONAL

PSYCHOLOGY MEETS GROWING DEMAND

Ahigh demand for industrial psychoshylogists in Canada has led the Departshyment of Psychology to introduce a new graduate option

I ndllstriallOrganizaliorudPsychoshylogy is being added to the masters program for specialized training which could lead to work in personncl management job dcsign and analysis organizational consulting or health and safety in the workplace

The demand for industriaL PSTchoshylogists has been brought about by rapidly changing technology business growth and legislation in the areas of workplace safety human rights equal pay amI equal employment opportuni shyties Because there are few structured graduate programs in Canada to meet this need industrial psychologists have receiytd their training in the US Othe rs have trained themselves on the job

Steven Cranshaw who earned his PhD in industrial organizational

psychology at the University ofAkron is developing the new program at Guelph He was formerly at thc Univershysity of Waterloo and is currently chairman of the industrialorganizashytional section of the Canadian Psychoshylogical Association

The department is also pursuing a joint PhD program in industrial organizational psychology with the University of Waterloo It will offer training to the highest professionaJ standards in orth America

Dr Cranshawsays a 198687 survey done by Canada Employment and Immigration lists industrial organil3shytional psychology as an area of high job demand in the near future As graduates of the Guelph program become finnly established in the work force it will become readily apparent that this University is pLaying a major ro le in improving the quality of working life

WHATS NEW IN THE DEPARTMENTS POLITICAL STUDIES In September the department will introduce a dis shytance education diploma program in Public Policy and Administrat ion taught by Professor Richard Phidd The comprehensive program conshysisting of 10 courses at the undershygraduate level will provide an inte llectuaJ component to the workshyplace experiences of profeSSionals Distance education makes the depart shyments programs and courses more widely available to people in the work force ECONOMICS Professor Louis

Christofides is the new department chairman A major change which will take place LInder his direction is the establishment of a PhD program in resource and environmental econo shymics Professor Christofidcs aJso plans to oversee a review of the undershygraduate program He says the review will determine whether an approshypriate core course sequence is in place and whether the curriculum can be improved More spacc and the recmitment of quality facu lty and graduate students are also among his goals

GEOGRAPHY The birth ofProfessor Barry Smits daughter March 3 had some frantic moments Hanna was born in the family car as the harried father-to-be sped through the night to Guelph General Hospital She was dubbed Speedy Smit by the hospital staff and is a sister for two-year-old Emily Mother Ruth Ann and the baby came through the experience none the worse for wear but Professor Smit m ust have been glad to get back to the old routine of classes and lectures At least theyre fairly predictable

A Message From Your New UGM President

Dr Ron Downey ove 61

Assuming the presidency of the niversity of Guelph Alumni Association following Ross Parry CSS 80 poses a formidable task The incumbent will find it difficult to equal a goal as lofty as the building of A1unmi House

Now we have a campus home What can the UGAA plan to achieve in the coming year7 In its next phase of growth the Association will assist the constituent CoUege Alumni Associations in achieving their membership objectives Surely the support of all alumni for the University ofGuelph is a worthy objective Strong College A1unmi Associations mean a strong UGAA Students and senior alumni through their own associations will contrishybute significandy ro our strength The ultimate goal to direct the resources of all LIGAA alumni to support the institution

I would be remiss iff didn t acknowledge the countless hours that alumni volunteers and staff contribute to the management and day-to-day work of the Association Thanks to the Board of Directors and the Department of Alumni Affairs and Development And thank you Ros for two great years

Ron Downey OVC 61 UGAA President

OVC 125 YEARS OF TEACHING AND RESEARCH IN VETERINARY MEDICINE Many early attempts to establish veterinary schools in North America failed both before and after Andrew Smith an 1861 graduate ofEdinburgh Veterinary School set foot on Canashydian soil Yet the college he founded in 1862 is now the oldest veterinary school in continuous operation on this continent

The Ontario Veterinary College had something the others lacked Dr Smiths foresight to begin with a practical four-week course for farmers to make them acquainted with the principles of their important art and a close relationship with both the government of Upper Canada and later the provincial government

Appointed by the Upper Canada Board of Agriculture Dr Smith opershyated the College initially as a private college later by charter from 1862 until his retirement in 1908 The first lectures were free to interested young farmers TI1e first three students grad shyuated in 1866 after completing a two-year course covering anatomy physiology materica medica and surgery

By the end of the century almost 160 students a year were graduating Tuition fees were $60 for a six-month session plus $5 for dissection room and registration_ Students had to find their own dissecting material and the S3 to $5 cost per horse was usuaUy shared The 250 students required up to 100 specimens each year resulting in the almost constant movement of animals in and out of the Temperance Street College The traffic afforded many opportunities for student pranks

Dr Smiths successor Edward Grange inherited Smiths discipline problems but not his school stmcture In 1908 the College became a proshyvincial government institution and was affiliated with the University of Toronto

Move to Guelph

Principal Charles McGilvray who came to the College from Winnipeg

Dr james Gillies ave 26 and his granddaughter joan ave 88 push the button to open the doors to avCs new large animal facility

in 1918 pushed to relocate the Colshylege in Guelph in 1922 a move that paved the way for the future Located across the street from OAC it now had access to a large number and variety of farm animals The once horse-oriented ve terinary training centre turned its attention to the needs of a more mechanized society demanding the products of foodshyproducing animals

Known as a man who got things done Dr McGilvray also pushed for the 1920 Veterinary Practice Act requ ir ing that veterinarians be licenced to practise in Ontario and effectively dissolved the legendary London Veterinary Correspondence School a perennial thorn in the side of OVe He extended the Coil ge c urriculu m to four years and strengthened ties with the University ofToronto by adopting matriculation entrancc requirements He also opened OVCs doors to women by admitting the first female student in 1924

Under the direction of two more principals - Andrew MacNabb ( 1945-52) and Trevor Jones ( 1952shy68) - the College grew into an active student training and research centre

By 1952 the total number of graduates had exceeded 5500 there was a four-year enrolment of 272 students and 45 faculty_ A quota syslem of four female students a year was in effect so women could be booked to work late-night clinic hours in pairs

(n 1974 ftrst-year enrolment was increased in an effort to meet the Canadian demand for veterinarians Dean Dennis Howell successor to Dr Jones later led a fact-finding commission that recommended the establishment of a fourth Canadian veterinary school in Prince Edward Island

Today only 100 of the 600 to 700 who apply to OVC each year are accepted and enrolment criteria ensures that OVC students are the cream of the crop

OVC has always maintained close ties With government Dr Smiths grants from the Upper Canada Board of Agriculture were a contributing factor to his schools early success OVC began its second century by developing new guidel ines for negotiating grants and by establishing a new funding base for the College Its teaching function remains the responsibility of the federal and proshyvincial ministries of education but the clinical hospital is now supported by the agriculture ministries

Despite a freeze on capital funding in the 1970s OVC acquired new facilities for biomedical sciences pathology microbiology and immunoshylogy c1incial studies and the OVC branch library

Dr Ole Nielsen ove 56 becan1e dean of OVC in January 1985 sucshyceeding Douglas Maplesden who had led the College into a new era ofhigh tech in both teaching and research

ave GETTING OLDER AND BETTER T he OVC dedicated new faciliries June 19 that will upgrade its teaching research and service functions The new computer teaching lab large animal admission and examination are-lS and state-of-the-art diagnostic and surgical fucilities might be unrecogshynizable to founder Andrew Smith but the OVC objectives they enhance are in keeping with his commonsense approach to veterinary medicine

John Wise OAC 56A and Jack Riddell OAC 57 federal and provinshycial agriculture ministers brought greetings from their governments to the opening ceremony Dr Robert James Pinkney of Milton and other members ofthe Class of 3 7 dedicated two sugar maples commemorating the Colleges 125th anniversary and 50th ann iversary of their own graduation

Funded by equal grants from the federal and provincial governments the new facilities represent Phase I of a long-term redevelopment project for the College that will provide much-needed space for animals pershysonnel and technology The hospital addition includes admission examinshyation and surgical areas that should enhance the efficiency quality and extent of animal care at the College

New surgical equipment includes a hoist table that can raise a sedated animal from floor level and transport it into the operating room and a tiltshytable that restores an animal to a standing position as it recovers from anaesthetic Closed-circuit television will enable a large group of students to get a surgeons view ofprocedures with the opportunity to replay the tape instead of having to gown and crowd into a small operating room

The addition also provides more office space for faculty and students a home for the new Department of Population Medicine and head shyquarters for the hospitals computershyoperated management system

Many of the improvements in diagshynostic areas will increase the scope of co-operation between OVC and the new Equine Restarch Centre says

john Wise OAG 56A FederalMinisterof Agriculture andJack Riddell OAC 57 Ontario Minister Of Agriculture and Food led the first horses through the doors to oves new large animal facility during opening ceremonies

OVC Dean Ole Nielsen The hospital now h1S separate admission areas for horses and food animals a fibre optics and ophthalmology room with con shytrolled lighting and squeeze stock and an electrodiagnostic room deshysigned for minimal electrical intershyference A large circular lunging area

is designed to magnify the echo of a horses breathing while eliminating frightening shadows

Renovations have also upgraded existing laboratory facilities in bioshymedical sciences and clinical studies The College can now expand its continuing education offerings

ANNIVERSARY CONFERENCE An Anniversary Conference proshymising to be an exceptional opporshytunity for learning and fun will highlight oves 125th anniversary celebrations

Mounted with the assistance and co-operation of Ontarios veterinary associations and academies this is one ofthe most ambitious continuing education programs ever offered at OVe It will be held Thursday September 24 ( evening) to Saturday September 26 co -inciding with Homecoming Weekend

Alumn i House was a central gathering place during Alumni Weekshyend and will serve the san1e role during future Alumni Weekends but its benefits go far beyond the social scene said Ross The build ing will be a meeting place for the UGAA college alumni associations individual classes and interest groups such as Alumnishyin-Action

The Department of Alumni Affairs and Development reunited staff from three separate buildings on campus when it moved into Alumni House May 4

CLASS AGENTS RECEPTION

The fi rst annual class agents recepshytion on May 21 hosted by President Burt Matthews was also the first official function for alumni in the newly renovated Alumni House

111e 42 class agents and college representatives who attended the event were thanked for their volunteer efforts by President Matthews Gordon Nixon chairAlma Mater Fund (AMF) Advisory Council and Marjorie Millar d irector Alumni Affairs and Development

Gerry Ludwig manager AMF and Toni Pellizzari assistant AMF have successfully recruited 245 class agents this year who w ill be encouraging their classmates to support their alma mater through annual giving One of the major projects being funded is Alumni House

THE CAMPAIGN GETS $16 MILLION BOOST FROM PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT

Guc1phs capital campaign got a $16 million boost from the Ontario Ministry of Colleges and niversities ( MCU) May 25 to bring the end-ofshyMay campaign total to 548956170 Eighty-one per cent ofthe S60 million objective has been met in the first nine months of the five-year campaign

I am absolutely delighted to have reached this milestone this early in The Campaign says Marjorie Millar director Alumni Affairs and Developshyment Bur it is still a five -year campaign We will have to overshoot our target by a least 10 per cent to adequately fund the building projects

The MCUs commitment announshyced in simultaneous news conferences in Toronto and Guelph will cover two-thirds of the cost of a new 524 shymillion environmental biology horti shycultural science building on campus The remaining S8 million will come from other contributions to The Campaign

Rick Ferraro Arts 7 I MPP Jor Wellington South announcedMeUs gift oJ $16 million at a [n-ess conJershyence in Guelph May 25 He is seen here at the press conJerence with OAC Dean Freeman McEwen (left) andPresident Burt Matthews ( right)

Greg Sorbara Minister of Colleges and Universities says the building project reflects government recogni shytion that the revitalization of agri shy

culture and the protection of the environment are two of the most important challenges facing Ontario and Canada

Guelphs department of Horticulshytural Science is the only one of its kind at an Ontario university and the only one in Canada offering a doctoral program The department ofEnvironshymental Biology is the only such department in North America

niversity President Burt Matthews described the funding news as a godsend Although these two departments are leaders in leaching research and development he says they have had difficulties in meeting their obligations due to outdated and inadequate facilities

The proposed site for the new building is adjacent to Graham Hall President Matthews says the pwject shouLd go to tender in January 1989 Construction is expected to take about two years

IVAN TAYLOR A FRIEND TO STUDENTS AND HORSES

Duringhis 39 years ar the University Ivan Taylor attended the births of more than 300 foals So it was not surprising thal he had a connection with one of the Percherons used in the ground breaking ceremony which marked the start of construction of the Equine Research Centre this spring Ivan was present at the birth of the Percherons mother Duchess bred at OAC

Hes likely forgotten more about horses than the rest of us could ever hope ro learn in the first place an onlooker at the ceremony was overshyheard to say about Ivan

The onlooker could have been any one of hundreds of students Ivan trained to show and care for horses over the years

He had an interest in people as well as horses and whenever a student needed help he was there He was practical dependable conscientious and extremely knowledgeable about horses His equine talents were outstanding says Bruce Stone OAC 53 MSA 54 Associate Dean ofOAC

Ivan first acquired a feel for horses as a youngster on his fathers farm When he began working at OAC in 1946 he was known as a teamster someone who drove teams of horses to do the tleld work There was only one tractor at the University so horseshypower got most of the work done Ivan recalls spending several hours a week cleaning and shining the brassshymounted harness worn by the horses at that time

When asked about his skill with horses Ivan modestly attributes it to the late Professor Orval Kennedy with whom he worked for many years

At first we had 80 ro 100 horses We used some for work and some to teach field husbandry We even used them to take students on sleigh rides We broke in a lot of colts he says

Ivan remembers in particular training six horse hitches to pur on displays at Farm and Home Week an

OAC eveOl which lasted until the mid sixries He says he always looked forward to helping students prepare and rrain their horses for College Royal as well

In the sixties the College began to dispense wirh heavy draught horses until eventually it just had some light horses Ivan finished out his niversity career apound manager of the bull tesring station at Arkell

Dr Claire Rennie OAC 47 assistant deputy minister OMAF says During my years in the Department of Animal and Poultry Science at the UniverSity I was thankful many times thar we had a person like Ivan responsible for specific operations at rhe Arkell Research Sration He managed the beef bull performance testing promiddot gram as though ir was his very own

Ivan retired in May 1986 He now works part-time in the wholesale business and sometimes judges horses at fall fairs

Dr Russ Willoughby OVC 57

director of the Equine Research Centre invited Ivan to participate in the ground breaking ceremony because he is a very fine man who has helped hundreds ofpeople at this

niversity He was the key person looking after OLLr horses for many years

Ivan says It was a nice honor to be there

DONATE TO PATIO

SOIL EROSION GETS SPECIAL ATTENTION

T he new Centre for Soil and Water Conservation will provide a focal point for research on the degradation of soil and water resources says the Centres director Land Resource Science Professor Murray Miller OAC 53

Soil erosion costs Ontario farmers an estimated $68 million a year in nutriem and yield losses says Dr Miller [n 19S4 a Senate report on soil conservation described erosion as the most serious agricultural crisis in Canadas history and predicted the loss of a major portion of Canadas agricultural capability ifprompt action were not taken

The loss of productive topsoil is not the only problem Soil erosion is the cause of major pollution of Ontarios Great Lakes Runoff from farm land is the source of about twoshythirds of the phosphorus that is desshytroying marine life in Lake Erie Dr Miller says

The problem has become so serious that the federal government and province of Ontario have agreed to spend 830 million over tlve years to reduce phosphorus inputs to the lakes And the Omario Ministry of Agriculshyntre and Food has established a soiJ

TURFGRASS INSTITUTE The University will become a centre of Canadian turfgrass research edushycation and extension now that Senate has given the go-ahead to establish a Guelph Turfgrass Institute (GTI)

Sponsored by the Ontario Ministry ofAgriculrure and Food the niversity and the turfgrass industry GTI - the first centre of its kind in Canada shywill be housed in a new building on Stone Road

GTI will support a provincial turfshygrass industry valued at more than 240 million It will create a favorable

environment for research in turfgrass science an extension program and courses and seminars in ntrfgrass

Dr Murray Miller OAC 53

and water management branch to put greater emphasis on this area

There is a serious need for research on soil and water conservation says Dr Miller and Guelph will be much better able to meet that need with a co-ordlnated program on campus

About 25 tlculty members in various disciplines at the University have expershytise in soil and water conservation Dr Miller expects the Centre to increase the visibility and accessibility of Guelphs expertise allowing Guelph to assist government industry and other groups with soil and water conservation problems

One of the Centres first contracts is with Agriculture Canadas Soil and Water Environmental Enhancement Program to prepare an in-depth background report on soil and water conservation in southwestern Ontario

production and management at the associate diploma undergraduate and graduate levels

Turfgrass research has gone on well here since its beginnings back in the 1940s says Professor Lee Burpee Environmental Biology who has been working with colleagues for two years to establish a lurfgrass institute GTI would put us all together encourage diSCUSSion help morale and give us and the ulrfgrass industry more visishybiliry Six faculry in three departments are involved in turfgrass research In 1985 S6 the UniversityS turfgrass scientists spent more than SOO hours on extension activities

HORTICULTURALISTS FILE PATENT APPLICATION FOR TRIAZINEmiddotRESISTANT CROPS

By Owen Roberts O ffice of Research

One of the few places where farmers still have to hack at weeds with a hand hoe is among their rows ofbroccoIi cabbage cauliflower and Brussels sprouts - the cole crops Few effective herbicides exist for these crops The need for manual labor has kept the hoe busy but slowed the development of a Canadian cole crop industry

A breakthrough at the University however could not only make hand hoeing a chore of the past but heighten the importance of cole crops in Canadian agriculture Dr Renald Ayotte OAC 82 and a recent PhD graduate in Horticultural Science and his supervisors Professors Pat f lamey and Vince Souza-Machado OAC PhD 76 have filed a patent application for cole crops varieties that are resistant to the triazine fanli1y of herbicides

ormally these broad leaf plants are killed by triazine herbicides but the new plants have genetic traits that make them invulnerable to that common herbicide group Dr Ayotte says this research will find immediate application in the field

The secret is the development of a seed with triazine-resistant cytoplasm he says By cro sbreeding and backshycrossing cole crops with spring rapeshyseed (a Guelph-developed triazineshyresistant plant) the researchers created new plant bearing the nuclear genes of the cole crops and the ltylOplasmic genes of the rapeseed The result is a triazine-resistant cole crop

Breeding herbicide resistance into plants is a relatively new way of dealing with weeds in horticultural crops The traditional chemical approach has been [Q develop new compounds or extend the use of established herbicides to crops But because of the increasing costs of research and development the unshyattractive economics of herbicides for low-acreage crops and the strinshygent controls over registration standard few horticultural herbicides

Dr Renald Ayotte OAC 82

have been brought onstream It is these factors that led to this col crop project Dr Ayone says

The development of the traizineshyresistant plants could have a wideshy

spread effect on the production of cole crops which are gaining inshycreasing a c eptance by health shyconscious consumers Cauliflower sales in Canada for example have doubled over the last five years to about 824 million annuaUy

Controlling broadIeaf weed species like wild mustard and shepherds purse will not onJy reduce weed competi tion with the cole crop plants but eradicate al ternative hosts of pests and disease says Dr Ayotte And the mechanical harvesting of cole crops will be made easier by the absence of tall weeds which can clog harvesting equipment

In addition to eliminating the need fo r hand hoeing the plants will offer farmers new alternatives in crop selection says Dr Ayotte

Response by seed companies to the triazine resi tance has been good says Chris Ostrovski technology devel o pment offi cer Offi ce of Research He expects the plants (Q be popular with cole crop producers thro ughout North America and Europe as well as in China where cole crops are a staple of the diet

RESEARCH BOOSTED BY MINISTRY RELOCATION

~ricultural research at the Univershysity will benefit from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food (OMAF) decision to move its headshyquarters and over 500 staff from Toronto to Guelph

The ministrys relocation here signals and solidifies the Universitys position as the leading agricultural research institution in Canada says Dr Larry Milligan Dean of Research It is a major step toward our goal of establishing the niversity as a world centre for sustained agricultural research and technology transfer

The decision to relocate OMAF headquarters is consistent with the Ontario governments decentrali shy

zation program The announcement was part of the April 28 throne peech Relocation is expected to be complete by 1991

In 1987-88 OMAF will contribute over S31 million towards agricultural research education and services at the UniverSity This funding helps support 478 agricultural research proshyjects at OAC and OVe

No other university in Canada has the very special and entirely compleshymentary relationship with its primary external research funding source that Guelph shares with OMM says Dr Milligan With the relocation that rapport can onJy grow

OVC GRADUATE HELPS SLEEPING CHILDREN AROUND THE WORLD

Give a child a comfortable nights rest and it helps to take his mind off his hunger and conserve his energy for the demands of the next day

That s the philosophy behind Sleeping Children Around the World (SCAW) a registered Canadian charitshyable organization founded by Murray and the late Margaret Dryden parents of National Hockey League goalshytenders Dave and Ken It s an organishyzation that has given Dr Gordon S BroW11 OVC 45 of Harrow a very rewarding purpose in li fe since retirement

Gordon opened a veterinary pracshytice in Essex in 1946 and was joined 11 years later by Dr Douglas McKelvie OVC 47 The practice evolved into a busy one treating both large and small animals but a car accident in 1980 made it impossible for Gordon to continue with the large animal part He sold the practice and opened a small animal clinic in Kingsville which he operated until retiring in 1986

While on an Alaskan cruise in 1977 Gordon and his wife June met the Drydens who told them about SCAW

We were impressed with their compassion for the oppressed chilshydren in the Third World countries and their strong desire to help by supplying comfort reports Gordon

The Browns became close friends with the Drydens and began to support their precious project In 1982 Murray Dryden invited Gordon to join him in distributing bed-kits in the Third World Each kit consists of a groundsheet mattress shee ts bl anket pillow and pillow case pajamas clothing and sometimes mosquito netting

SCAW is supported by private donashytion Every dollar donated is used to provide the bed-kits nothing is siphoned off for administration or travel expenses The money is sent to existing organizations in Third World countries like Rotary Kiwanis the Salvation Army Canadian Jesuits and

Dr Gordon S Brown OVC 45 and his wife June

Pentecostal missionaries It is their responsibility to purchase materials and have the ki ts made up

When I saw first -hand the tremen shydous need and joy upon receiving the bed-kits on that first trip [ had to continue and make this project a part of my life says Gordon He has now made four trips at his 0W11 expense iOlO India and the Hin1alayas Pakistan Bangladesh Sri Lanka Thailand and the Philippines On the last two trips his wife has accompanied him and become equally enthusiastic They make the trips to witness the distrishy

bution of the ki ts and take photos of the children holding the kits and labels with the donors names on them These photos are then sent to the donors as proof that the kits are being received

RADIATION EQUIPMENT FURTHERS CANCER RESEARCH

A donation of orthovoltage and cobalt radiation equipment from Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto will enable OVC to establish a radioshytherapy unit in its small animal clinic by the end of the year The gift of the used equipment will cut the estimated $250000 cost of the unit by ahout half Funds are being sought from alumni and other sources for site development of the unit

The hospital learned ofoves need for a unit while involved in joint research on the radiation treatment of dogs with lymphoma cancer in 1983 Princess Margaret researchers developed a way to preserve bone marrow while irradiating the entire body The new treatment had exeelshy

lent potential to extend remission limes in patienrs Because canine and human lymphomas arc s imilar Princess Margaret officials asked ave to carry out research on dogs using the hospitals facilities

OVC researchers treated 14 dogs with lymphoma In II of those the tumors decreased significantly in size and did not reappear in some cases until SlX months later Without treat shyment veterinarians expected the dogs had about a month to live TIle results were encouraging although not at all conclusive because of the small number of research subjects

The project stopped in 1985 pri shymarily because of staffing and space

constraints at Princess Margaret When the new radiotherapy unit is in place veterinarians wi ll resume research to find ways of increasing the duration of the effectiveness of radiation treatment Princeslt Margaret rtsearchers will explore human applications

The research could lead to work in other cancers that act similarly in dogs and humans such as osteoshysarcoma the disease suffered by Terry Fox

If you would like to contribute to the radiotherapy unit at OVC send your donations to Alumni House

NEW DEPARTMENT TO FOCUS ON HEALTH OF GROUPS

A new department of population medicine at ove is focusing on tbe health of groups of animals rathe r than individuals particularly on-farm species

The department draws personnel from the departments of Clinical Studies and Veterinary Microbiology and Immunology

OVC Dean Ole Nielsen says its important for the College to have a department whose basic philosophy is concerned with the health of the group rather than the individual Its particularly important for the agri shyculnlre industry because modern food

production tends to work with large groups

Population medicine is the study of the frequency distribution and cost of disease and the inter-relationships among disease managemem enshyvironment and productivity It also involves applied strategies for health management and the prevention and control of disease

Dr ielsen says population medishyc ine is in line with the new health maintenance orientation of courses in OVCs new curriculum and it capitalizes on many ofOllr streng[hs It is also in Line with the needs of

vcterinary medicine in the future he says

As we move to larger and more complex farming operations and the economic crunch worsens there will be more emphaSiS on effiCiency and cost-effectiveness he says Population medicine is concerned with the disshytribution causes and costs of disease in animals There is emphasis on numeracy using quantitative data to measure the cost benefits of health care

Dr Nielsen says the new department will put ove in the forefront in thc modern approach to health maintenshyance in food-pn ducing animals

Dve BRIEFLY

Ove has launched a new fundshyraising p roject called Pet Trust The object is to raise money for research into problems and diseases affecting small or companion animals to further work already proceeding in such areas as oncology ophthalmology orthoshypedics reconsrmctive surgery organ dysfunction lOaesthesia infectious diseases animal behavior and human animal bonding and to provide fu nds for fellowships

Kits containing information about the program have been sent out to every veterinary practice in Ontario and response has been heartening

A Board of Tmstees will approve research projects and grants establish policy and generally promote the Pet Trust Annual reports will also be issued

DOES P EQUAL NP By Mary Dickieson

Pub lic Relations and Informa tion

One of the most perplexing proshyblems in computer science may have been solved by Professor Ted Swan who has a joint appointment in the departments of Mathematics and Statistics and Computing and Inforshymation Science He has written a paper offering proof that P=NP To the layman th is means that we will now be able to solve problems that we formerly thought we could not he says

Professor Bill Smith chair of the Department of Mathematics and Statisshytics says that if Dr Swarts results are verified they will really be quite earth-shattering and exceptional shyof far -reaching significance in mathematics

Dr Swart cautions that the jury is stili ou t on whether his approach will be proved or disproved by his peers but already his pronouncement has caused a stir in the computer world The findings are of considerable interest to everyone working in this area says Professor Smith and they are an important contribution to the problem whether or not they are eventually accepted as stated

Dr Swart says his results are bound to be met by a great deal of proshyfessional suspicion because they are contrary to the prevailing thought Most people think that P does not equal P

Although the results are still theoreshytical Professor Smith and Dr Swart agree they could have a number of practical applications Industry commerce finance and most other sectors of society that use computers could benefit from Dr Swart s adshyvancement of one of the ftmdamental aspects of computer science the use of algorithms

People solve problems on comshyputers by using precisely defined sets of steps called algOrithms says Dr_ Swart Of the two classes ofcomputer problems class P refers to those for which good polynomial time

algorithms exist enabling them to be solved effiCiently on a computer Dr Swart cites the example of the minishymal connector problem which asks for a scheme to cormect a group of cities by telephone wires in such a way that the amount of wire used is minima l Good algori thms allow this problem to be solved easily regardshyless of the number ofcities involved he says

Computer problems in the second class - NP - are considered hard to solve_Large problems in this cateshygory cannot be solved on even the most powerful computers in the world because there are no algorithms that allow solution of the problem without escalating the number of calculations to a level beyond the capacity of computers Dr Swart says there are at least 1 000 known examples of proshyblems in this class of which the travelling salesman problem is one of the best known Even for a relatively small group of cities such as the 50 US capitals there has been no solushytion to the problem of devising a route that will enable a salesman to visit each ci ty only once while trashyvelling a mininlal distance

My results say these two classes of problems are equal and that there do exist good algorithms for solving this type of computer problem he says

To prove his results Dr Swarts paper cites a similar problem the Hamilton circuit which is illustrated by asking the question Can you visit each of several cities in succession Without backtracking

Dr Swarts problem establishes that the Hamilton circuit problem can be solved in polynomial time by conshyverting a mathematical programming formulation of the problem into a linear programming formulation and using existing polynomial ti me algorithms as established by Kachiyan and Kannarkar

The Significant feature of these results is that they will enable comshyputers to tackle larger problems with more unknowns and get the results more quickly

COMPUTER SCIENCE PROGRAM APPEALS TO STUDENTS

Guelphs new masters program in computer science which enrolled its fi rst students last September aims to move advanced information techshynology out of the research laboratory and into practical application says co-ordinator Professor Tom Wi on It combines graduate courses in the latest research developments with an applied thesis

Because there are only 13 students each has what can be called a tailorshymade program says Professor Wilson The Department of Computing and Information Science plans to accept another seven students this September and expects enrolment to grow to 30 with in the next few years - deshypending on the availability of faculty and space Even with that number the program will be smaller than others in the province so the level of personal contact and flexibil ity will remain high

Students in the program are often involved in problems that are of interest to other departments About two-thirds of the students are Guelph graduates - many with double degrees

TI1e undergraduate backgrounds of the students range from medicinal chemistry to philosophy and their research interests are just as varied as the following profiles indicate

RETIRING PROFESSOR HONORED

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry hosted a symposium in the spring on the molecular mechanshyisms underlying vertebrate visual transduction The symposium honored Professor Bill Abrahamson who retired May 1 It provided a review of current approaches to a field in which Professor AbJhamson s

communication He is developing softshyware that will allow dolphin comshymunication researchers at the nivershysity of Hawaii to extract information from a database using a natural language such as English rather than a computer language This would free them from having to learn comshyplex computer skills

Karl whose thesis adviser is Proshyfessor Mary Mcleish travelled to Hawaii in April to install a natural language processing system at the Kewalo Basin Marine Mammal laborashytory and to become more fami liar with the computers available there A graduate of Gue lph s computer science program Karl at 0 has an undergraduate degree in medicinal chemistry from Concordia University and has done graduate work in neuroshyscience at McMaster Medical Centre

Howard Pel ls special interest is fibre optics and their use in wide-area communication networks sing light instead of electricity offers amazing capabilities he says because teleshyphone television and computer data can be transmitted over a single piece of pi astie

Howard who is working under Professor Wilson has a joint BA C86) from Guelph in computer science and philosophy The undershygraouate program in computer science focused more on software says Howard but his preference is hardware The master s program allows him to devote his time to this first love

contributions are widely appreciated Speakers included Dr Barry Honig

During 20 years of service to the niversity Dr Powell served two

terms as Director of the School of Human Biology and Chairman of the Department of Human Kinetics Through his guidance the Department ofHuman Kintlics was established as part of the new College of Biological Science in 1971 and after retiring he received the College s first Merishytorious Service Medal

With the untimely death of Walter Vaughan in late 1983 the call came from the Presidents office to fill Secretary of Senate Dr Powell plugged the gap for seven months fulfilling his goal to serve at the University as well as the College and departrnentallevels

In 1983 the Faculty Association presented Dr Powell with the first University of Guelph Special Merit Award in recognition of teaching excellence curriculum development and dedication to his students

Included among Dr Powells achishyevements is the initiation of the Human Kinetics Student Symposium in 1971 This undertaking has become a popular annual campus event

Dr Powell served as Honorary Preshysident of the Human Kinetics Alumni Association from 1971 -83 and served as editor of both the Bio-Sci News in the Guelph Alumnus and the Human Kinetics Newsletter The Human Kinetics Alumn i Association has honored him with a scholarship in his nanle

When he arrived at Guelph in 1965 Dr Powell initiated and for five days a week still leads the CardioshyVascular Club This club has brought a genuine enjoyment of exercise into

the lives ofDr Powells many disciples In 1983 a film featuring the CardioshyVascular Club funded by the Univershysity of Guelph Alumni Association won acdaim from the Czechoslovashykian government The film was later shown in Budapest at the request of the Hungarian government Dr Powell was honored by Premier WilIian1 Davis in 1985 for his specific conshytrihution to cardiov-Scular rehabilishytation

For 15 years Or Powell has been a member of the I nternational Olympic Academy an institution that develops the theory ethics and procedures for the Olympic Games His contribution to the Academy was recognized by the He llenic Olympic Committee when it conferred upon him the prestigious rank of Collaborator and awarded him a silver medallion_ He also received one of two silver commemorative medals presented to Canadians in 1986 for devoted work to the youth of the world through the International Olympic Academy since 1972

Dr Powell has come up with a definition for the word Olympism wh ich has been officially accepted by the Canadian Olympic Association

PROFESSOR EMERITUS

PrOfessor emeritus status was bestowed on Professor John George Department of Zoology at spring convocation

Born and educated in India Proshyfessor George joined the University of Baroda in 1950 as the first head of its zoology department and over the next decade developed one of the leading zoology departments in India He came to Guelph as professor of zoology in 1967 a pOSition he held until his retirement in 1986

PROFESSOR RETIRES

Drw George Barker was honored on his retirement recently at a dinner and reception hosted by the Departshyment of Botany Dr Barkers career in plant science includes two periods at the University of Guelph From 1972 to 1983 he was chair of the Depart shyment of Botany and Genetics in the newly-formed College of Biological Science and was instrumental in guiding the department into new strengths in Botany Ecology and Genetics The emerging Genetics section became the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics in 1983

Dr Barker a native of Stratford served in Europe during World War II as a captain in the Provost Company of the Canadian Army On his return he earned his BSe (1947 ) and MSc ( 1949 ) at the University of Western Ontario His masters thesis was con shycerned with the effect of ethyl carbashymate on mitotic activity in plants This biologically-active compound recently made headlines as a contashyminant of certain wines

In 1953 Dr Barker received his PhD from the University ofMichigan for h is thesis on the proliferation of bass wood taken from 50-year-old trunk tissue demonstrating that these cells retained full developmental capashycity From this time on Dr Barker has maintained an interest in plant tissue culture

From 1952-54Dr Barker was assisshytant professor in the Department of Botany ( then OAC) During this period he perfected the technique of produci ng tubers in vitro This approach remains a cornerstone of modem biotechnology with potatoes

From 1955 to 1960 Dr Barker worked with the United Fmit Comshypany in Costa Rica Honduras and at Cornell developing practical methods of banana propagation still in wideshyspread use and carrying out basic studies on morphology and anatomy He became co-ordinator of research on lowbush blueberries at the Agri shyc ultural Rese a r c h Stat ion in Frederic ton and in 1964 w as appointed Director of the Biological Teaching Unit University of Manitoba

Dr W George Barker

When Dr Barker returned to Guelph in 1972 he llsed his long shyestablished experience in basic and applied research and teaching to build a new department in a new College He leaves behind a strong teaching department which also has an estab shyli shed in ternational research reputalion

Dr Keith Ronald director of the Arboretum and former dean of CBS announced that a Scotch pine in the Arboretum had been dedicated in honor of Dr Barkers contribution to all aipects ofUniversity life Dr Bruce Sells dean of CBS emphasized Dr Barkers pivotaJ role in initiating strong programs in three areas of biological science and presented him with a chair on behalf of the College Dr ] Derek Bewley present chair of Botany thanked Dr Barker for his help and guidance and presented a VCR from the 100 alumni students staff and faculty members in attendance at the dinner

INDUSTRY TASK FORCE REVIEWS IFM PROGRAM

A task force representing senior levels of the dietetic profession and institutional foodservice management met on campus earlier this year to advise the School of Hotel and Food Administration ( HAFA ) about the development of its Institutional Foodshyservice Management Program ( IFM ) The task force convened by FACS Dean Richard Barham is part ofHAFAs review of the IFM program one of two majors offered in the Bachelor of Commerce honors program

Included on the task force are the preside n t and executive vic e shypresident of Canadas two largest institutional foodservice management firms as well as the vice-president of the countrys largest nursing home chain

Discussion focused on intermediate and long-term plans of HAFA faculty The task force supports curriculum revisions designed to strengthen the nutrit ion and b iological science components of the IFM major The program prepares graduates for intern shyships as adn inistrative dietitians although some graduates choose to follow careers in institutional food middot service outside dietetics

The task force al so support s graduate training in administration for dietetic professionals There is a need for such a progran1 among therashypeutic dietitians seeking to shift their field of practice [Q administration and among administrative dietitians who wish to improve their qualifi shycations The task force also feels that a masters degree would be an appro shypriate alternat ive to a dietetic internship

The task force discussed the need for programs of continuing pro shyfessional education It supports proposals to develop more courses in continuing education as it relates [Q

administrative dietetics

Members of the task force agreed to continue to serve as a resource group to HAFAs IFM programs

CSS GRAD AIMS FOR OLYMPIC GOLD Andre Bordeleau C5S 79 MA 85 is determined to earn an Olympic gold medal in running game target shooting - no matter how long it takes

It may take a long time Im a late bloomer but I figure I have another 20 years to try Age is not a big problem in my sport and at least J didnt have to sacrifice my childhood to get where I am today says the 30-yearmiddotold political science graduate

Running game target requires the shooter using a 22-caJibre rifle to hit a wild pig moving on a 10-metre rail at 72 mph 144 mph or mixed speed middot from a distance of 50 metres There are many different versions of the sport but the Olympic discipline consists of 30 shots at the slower speed (slow runs ) and 30 at the faster speed ( fast runs)

niversity of Guelph in 1976 I wanted to srudy some place like Ontario where I could become bishylingual and Guelph was one of only three universities in the province with a rifle range he explains The University of Guelph Rifle Team won three Ontario championships from 1979-81

Andre started out on the Universitys rifle team shooting at stationary tarmiddot gets bu t decided to concentrate on running gan1e because it is more suited to his hyperactive personality He went to the Canadian championships in 1977 and placed ninth At a national competition in 1981 he set two Canadian records one of which stood for three years In 1984 he won the provincial championships and set a provincial record which still stands Also in 1984 he was invited to the Olympic trials and despite sustaining a concussion in a car accident on the first day of shooting he placed third Unfortunately only the first and second place winners qualified for the Olympics

In 1986 Andre went to his first international match the World Championships in East Gemlany He shot below his average and placed 46th in the 10 metre air rifle event an indoor scaled-down version ofmnning game target

1 was disappointed but I learned a lot Before I went [wasnt ranked in

24

the world at all At least now Im ranked he says

Undaunted he is currently training for the 1988 Olympics with national running game target team coach Dick Esseltine of Peterborough and he tries to practise at the Guelph rifle range eve1 day

Running game target shooting re shyquires concentration physica l stamina eye-band co-ordination and balance But staying in financial shape is a bigger challenge for Andre than staying physically fit Unable to find a job relating to his degrees he works as a night supervisor at Stonehenge a drug rehabilitation ce ntre near Guelph While he meets his liing expenses he is struggling to pay back stude nt loans and keep up with expenses incurred as an amateur athlete

Although he estimates he has dug a 860000 hole since making the move to Guelph and devoting himself to shootinghe has no regrets He says Guelph has been a good experience culturally and linguistically He views it as the place where he started a rich amateur career and as he plods on toward Olympic gold he takes satisshyfaction in his many smaller accomshyplishments

I believe in pursuing excellence Ive set the ultimate goal ( OLympic gold) and Im going to do my best to achieve it

INDUSTRIAL ORGAN IZA TIONAL

PSYCHOLOGY MEETS GROWING DEMAND

Ahigh demand for industrial psychoshylogists in Canada has led the Departshyment of Psychology to introduce a new graduate option

I ndllstriallOrganizaliorudPsychoshylogy is being added to the masters program for specialized training which could lead to work in personncl management job dcsign and analysis organizational consulting or health and safety in the workplace

The demand for industriaL PSTchoshylogists has been brought about by rapidly changing technology business growth and legislation in the areas of workplace safety human rights equal pay amI equal employment opportuni shyties Because there are few structured graduate programs in Canada to meet this need industrial psychologists have receiytd their training in the US Othe rs have trained themselves on the job

Steven Cranshaw who earned his PhD in industrial organizational

psychology at the University ofAkron is developing the new program at Guelph He was formerly at thc Univershysity of Waterloo and is currently chairman of the industrialorganizashytional section of the Canadian Psychoshylogical Association

The department is also pursuing a joint PhD program in industrial organizational psychology with the University of Waterloo It will offer training to the highest professionaJ standards in orth America

Dr Cranshawsays a 198687 survey done by Canada Employment and Immigration lists industrial organil3shytional psychology as an area of high job demand in the near future As graduates of the Guelph program become finnly established in the work force it will become readily apparent that this University is pLaying a major ro le in improving the quality of working life

WHATS NEW IN THE DEPARTMENTS POLITICAL STUDIES In September the department will introduce a dis shytance education diploma program in Public Policy and Administrat ion taught by Professor Richard Phidd The comprehensive program conshysisting of 10 courses at the undershygraduate level will provide an inte llectuaJ component to the workshyplace experiences of profeSSionals Distance education makes the depart shyments programs and courses more widely available to people in the work force ECONOMICS Professor Louis

Christofides is the new department chairman A major change which will take place LInder his direction is the establishment of a PhD program in resource and environmental econo shymics Professor Christofidcs aJso plans to oversee a review of the undershygraduate program He says the review will determine whether an approshypriate core course sequence is in place and whether the curriculum can be improved More spacc and the recmitment of quality facu lty and graduate students are also among his goals

GEOGRAPHY The birth ofProfessor Barry Smits daughter March 3 had some frantic moments Hanna was born in the family car as the harried father-to-be sped through the night to Guelph General Hospital She was dubbed Speedy Smit by the hospital staff and is a sister for two-year-old Emily Mother Ruth Ann and the baby came through the experience none the worse for wear but Professor Smit m ust have been glad to get back to the old routine of classes and lectures At least theyre fairly predictable

A Message From Your New UGM President

Dr Ron Downey ove 61

Assuming the presidency of the niversity of Guelph Alumni Association following Ross Parry CSS 80 poses a formidable task The incumbent will find it difficult to equal a goal as lofty as the building of A1unmi House

Now we have a campus home What can the UGAA plan to achieve in the coming year7 In its next phase of growth the Association will assist the constituent CoUege Alumni Associations in achieving their membership objectives Surely the support of all alumni for the University ofGuelph is a worthy objective Strong College A1unmi Associations mean a strong UGAA Students and senior alumni through their own associations will contrishybute significandy ro our strength The ultimate goal to direct the resources of all LIGAA alumni to support the institution

I would be remiss iff didn t acknowledge the countless hours that alumni volunteers and staff contribute to the management and day-to-day work of the Association Thanks to the Board of Directors and the Department of Alumni Affairs and Development And thank you Ros for two great years

Ron Downey OVC 61 UGAA President

OVC 125 YEARS OF TEACHING AND RESEARCH IN VETERINARY MEDICINE Many early attempts to establish veterinary schools in North America failed both before and after Andrew Smith an 1861 graduate ofEdinburgh Veterinary School set foot on Canashydian soil Yet the college he founded in 1862 is now the oldest veterinary school in continuous operation on this continent

The Ontario Veterinary College had something the others lacked Dr Smiths foresight to begin with a practical four-week course for farmers to make them acquainted with the principles of their important art and a close relationship with both the government of Upper Canada and later the provincial government

Appointed by the Upper Canada Board of Agriculture Dr Smith opershyated the College initially as a private college later by charter from 1862 until his retirement in 1908 The first lectures were free to interested young farmers TI1e first three students grad shyuated in 1866 after completing a two-year course covering anatomy physiology materica medica and surgery

By the end of the century almost 160 students a year were graduating Tuition fees were $60 for a six-month session plus $5 for dissection room and registration_ Students had to find their own dissecting material and the S3 to $5 cost per horse was usuaUy shared The 250 students required up to 100 specimens each year resulting in the almost constant movement of animals in and out of the Temperance Street College The traffic afforded many opportunities for student pranks

Dr Smiths successor Edward Grange inherited Smiths discipline problems but not his school stmcture In 1908 the College became a proshyvincial government institution and was affiliated with the University of Toronto

Move to Guelph

Principal Charles McGilvray who came to the College from Winnipeg

Dr james Gillies ave 26 and his granddaughter joan ave 88 push the button to open the doors to avCs new large animal facility

in 1918 pushed to relocate the Colshylege in Guelph in 1922 a move that paved the way for the future Located across the street from OAC it now had access to a large number and variety of farm animals The once horse-oriented ve terinary training centre turned its attention to the needs of a more mechanized society demanding the products of foodshyproducing animals

Known as a man who got things done Dr McGilvray also pushed for the 1920 Veterinary Practice Act requ ir ing that veterinarians be licenced to practise in Ontario and effectively dissolved the legendary London Veterinary Correspondence School a perennial thorn in the side of OVe He extended the Coil ge c urriculu m to four years and strengthened ties with the University ofToronto by adopting matriculation entrancc requirements He also opened OVCs doors to women by admitting the first female student in 1924

Under the direction of two more principals - Andrew MacNabb ( 1945-52) and Trevor Jones ( 1952shy68) - the College grew into an active student training and research centre

By 1952 the total number of graduates had exceeded 5500 there was a four-year enrolment of 272 students and 45 faculty_ A quota syslem of four female students a year was in effect so women could be booked to work late-night clinic hours in pairs

(n 1974 ftrst-year enrolment was increased in an effort to meet the Canadian demand for veterinarians Dean Dennis Howell successor to Dr Jones later led a fact-finding commission that recommended the establishment of a fourth Canadian veterinary school in Prince Edward Island

Today only 100 of the 600 to 700 who apply to OVC each year are accepted and enrolment criteria ensures that OVC students are the cream of the crop

OVC has always maintained close ties With government Dr Smiths grants from the Upper Canada Board of Agriculture were a contributing factor to his schools early success OVC began its second century by developing new guidel ines for negotiating grants and by establishing a new funding base for the College Its teaching function remains the responsibility of the federal and proshyvincial ministries of education but the clinical hospital is now supported by the agriculture ministries

Despite a freeze on capital funding in the 1970s OVC acquired new facilities for biomedical sciences pathology microbiology and immunoshylogy c1incial studies and the OVC branch library

Dr Ole Nielsen ove 56 becan1e dean of OVC in January 1985 sucshyceeding Douglas Maplesden who had led the College into a new era ofhigh tech in both teaching and research

ave GETTING OLDER AND BETTER T he OVC dedicated new faciliries June 19 that will upgrade its teaching research and service functions The new computer teaching lab large animal admission and examination are-lS and state-of-the-art diagnostic and surgical fucilities might be unrecogshynizable to founder Andrew Smith but the OVC objectives they enhance are in keeping with his commonsense approach to veterinary medicine

John Wise OAC 56A and Jack Riddell OAC 57 federal and provinshycial agriculture ministers brought greetings from their governments to the opening ceremony Dr Robert James Pinkney of Milton and other members ofthe Class of 3 7 dedicated two sugar maples commemorating the Colleges 125th anniversary and 50th ann iversary of their own graduation

Funded by equal grants from the federal and provincial governments the new facilities represent Phase I of a long-term redevelopment project for the College that will provide much-needed space for animals pershysonnel and technology The hospital addition includes admission examinshyation and surgical areas that should enhance the efficiency quality and extent of animal care at the College

New surgical equipment includes a hoist table that can raise a sedated animal from floor level and transport it into the operating room and a tiltshytable that restores an animal to a standing position as it recovers from anaesthetic Closed-circuit television will enable a large group of students to get a surgeons view ofprocedures with the opportunity to replay the tape instead of having to gown and crowd into a small operating room

The addition also provides more office space for faculty and students a home for the new Department of Population Medicine and head shyquarters for the hospitals computershyoperated management system

Many of the improvements in diagshynostic areas will increase the scope of co-operation between OVC and the new Equine Restarch Centre says

john Wise OAG 56A FederalMinisterof Agriculture andJack Riddell OAC 57 Ontario Minister Of Agriculture and Food led the first horses through the doors to oves new large animal facility during opening ceremonies

OVC Dean Ole Nielsen The hospital now h1S separate admission areas for horses and food animals a fibre optics and ophthalmology room with con shytrolled lighting and squeeze stock and an electrodiagnostic room deshysigned for minimal electrical intershyference A large circular lunging area

is designed to magnify the echo of a horses breathing while eliminating frightening shadows

Renovations have also upgraded existing laboratory facilities in bioshymedical sciences and clinical studies The College can now expand its continuing education offerings

ANNIVERSARY CONFERENCE An Anniversary Conference proshymising to be an exceptional opporshytunity for learning and fun will highlight oves 125th anniversary celebrations

Mounted with the assistance and co-operation of Ontarios veterinary associations and academies this is one ofthe most ambitious continuing education programs ever offered at OVe It will be held Thursday September 24 ( evening) to Saturday September 26 co -inciding with Homecoming Weekend

THE CAMPAIGN GETS $16 MILLION BOOST FROM PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT

Guc1phs capital campaign got a $16 million boost from the Ontario Ministry of Colleges and niversities ( MCU) May 25 to bring the end-ofshyMay campaign total to 548956170 Eighty-one per cent ofthe S60 million objective has been met in the first nine months of the five-year campaign

I am absolutely delighted to have reached this milestone this early in The Campaign says Marjorie Millar director Alumni Affairs and Developshyment Bur it is still a five -year campaign We will have to overshoot our target by a least 10 per cent to adequately fund the building projects

The MCUs commitment announshyced in simultaneous news conferences in Toronto and Guelph will cover two-thirds of the cost of a new 524 shymillion environmental biology horti shycultural science building on campus The remaining S8 million will come from other contributions to The Campaign

Rick Ferraro Arts 7 I MPP Jor Wellington South announcedMeUs gift oJ $16 million at a [n-ess conJershyence in Guelph May 25 He is seen here at the press conJerence with OAC Dean Freeman McEwen (left) andPresident Burt Matthews ( right)

Greg Sorbara Minister of Colleges and Universities says the building project reflects government recogni shytion that the revitalization of agri shy

culture and the protection of the environment are two of the most important challenges facing Ontario and Canada

Guelphs department of Horticulshytural Science is the only one of its kind at an Ontario university and the only one in Canada offering a doctoral program The department ofEnvironshymental Biology is the only such department in North America

niversity President Burt Matthews described the funding news as a godsend Although these two departments are leaders in leaching research and development he says they have had difficulties in meeting their obligations due to outdated and inadequate facilities

The proposed site for the new building is adjacent to Graham Hall President Matthews says the pwject shouLd go to tender in January 1989 Construction is expected to take about two years

IVAN TAYLOR A FRIEND TO STUDENTS AND HORSES

Duringhis 39 years ar the University Ivan Taylor attended the births of more than 300 foals So it was not surprising thal he had a connection with one of the Percherons used in the ground breaking ceremony which marked the start of construction of the Equine Research Centre this spring Ivan was present at the birth of the Percherons mother Duchess bred at OAC

Hes likely forgotten more about horses than the rest of us could ever hope ro learn in the first place an onlooker at the ceremony was overshyheard to say about Ivan

The onlooker could have been any one of hundreds of students Ivan trained to show and care for horses over the years

He had an interest in people as well as horses and whenever a student needed help he was there He was practical dependable conscientious and extremely knowledgeable about horses His equine talents were outstanding says Bruce Stone OAC 53 MSA 54 Associate Dean ofOAC

Ivan first acquired a feel for horses as a youngster on his fathers farm When he began working at OAC in 1946 he was known as a teamster someone who drove teams of horses to do the tleld work There was only one tractor at the University so horseshypower got most of the work done Ivan recalls spending several hours a week cleaning and shining the brassshymounted harness worn by the horses at that time

When asked about his skill with horses Ivan modestly attributes it to the late Professor Orval Kennedy with whom he worked for many years

At first we had 80 ro 100 horses We used some for work and some to teach field husbandry We even used them to take students on sleigh rides We broke in a lot of colts he says

Ivan remembers in particular training six horse hitches to pur on displays at Farm and Home Week an

OAC eveOl which lasted until the mid sixries He says he always looked forward to helping students prepare and rrain their horses for College Royal as well

In the sixties the College began to dispense wirh heavy draught horses until eventually it just had some light horses Ivan finished out his niversity career apound manager of the bull tesring station at Arkell

Dr Claire Rennie OAC 47 assistant deputy minister OMAF says During my years in the Department of Animal and Poultry Science at the UniverSity I was thankful many times thar we had a person like Ivan responsible for specific operations at rhe Arkell Research Sration He managed the beef bull performance testing promiddot gram as though ir was his very own

Ivan retired in May 1986 He now works part-time in the wholesale business and sometimes judges horses at fall fairs

Dr Russ Willoughby OVC 57

director of the Equine Research Centre invited Ivan to participate in the ground breaking ceremony because he is a very fine man who has helped hundreds ofpeople at this

niversity He was the key person looking after OLLr horses for many years

Ivan says It was a nice honor to be there

SOIL EROSION GETS SPECIAL ATTENTION

T he new Centre for Soil and Water Conservation will provide a focal point for research on the degradation of soil and water resources says the Centres director Land Resource Science Professor Murray Miller OAC 53

Soil erosion costs Ontario farmers an estimated $68 million a year in nutriem and yield losses says Dr Miller [n 19S4 a Senate report on soil conservation described erosion as the most serious agricultural crisis in Canadas history and predicted the loss of a major portion of Canadas agricultural capability ifprompt action were not taken

The loss of productive topsoil is not the only problem Soil erosion is the cause of major pollution of Ontarios Great Lakes Runoff from farm land is the source of about twoshythirds of the phosphorus that is desshytroying marine life in Lake Erie Dr Miller says

The problem has become so serious that the federal government and province of Ontario have agreed to spend 830 million over tlve years to reduce phosphorus inputs to the lakes And the Omario Ministry of Agriculshyntre and Food has established a soiJ

TURFGRASS INSTITUTE The University will become a centre of Canadian turfgrass research edushycation and extension now that Senate has given the go-ahead to establish a Guelph Turfgrass Institute (GTI)

Sponsored by the Ontario Ministry ofAgriculrure and Food the niversity and the turfgrass industry GTI - the first centre of its kind in Canada shywill be housed in a new building on Stone Road

GTI will support a provincial turfshygrass industry valued at more than 240 million It will create a favorable

environment for research in turfgrass science an extension program and courses and seminars in ntrfgrass

Dr Murray Miller OAC 53

and water management branch to put greater emphasis on this area

There is a serious need for research on soil and water conservation says Dr Miller and Guelph will be much better able to meet that need with a co-ordlnated program on campus

About 25 tlculty members in various disciplines at the University have expershytise in soil and water conservation Dr Miller expects the Centre to increase the visibility and accessibility of Guelphs expertise allowing Guelph to assist government industry and other groups with soil and water conservation problems

One of the Centres first contracts is with Agriculture Canadas Soil and Water Environmental Enhancement Program to prepare an in-depth background report on soil and water conservation in southwestern Ontario

production and management at the associate diploma undergraduate and graduate levels

Turfgrass research has gone on well here since its beginnings back in the 1940s says Professor Lee Burpee Environmental Biology who has been working with colleagues for two years to establish a lurfgrass institute GTI would put us all together encourage diSCUSSion help morale and give us and the ulrfgrass industry more visishybiliry Six faculry in three departments are involved in turfgrass research In 1985 S6 the UniversityS turfgrass scientists spent more than SOO hours on extension activities

HORTICULTURALISTS FILE PATENT APPLICATION FOR TRIAZINEmiddotRESISTANT CROPS

By Owen Roberts O ffice of Research

One of the few places where farmers still have to hack at weeds with a hand hoe is among their rows ofbroccoIi cabbage cauliflower and Brussels sprouts - the cole crops Few effective herbicides exist for these crops The need for manual labor has kept the hoe busy but slowed the development of a Canadian cole crop industry

A breakthrough at the University however could not only make hand hoeing a chore of the past but heighten the importance of cole crops in Canadian agriculture Dr Renald Ayotte OAC 82 and a recent PhD graduate in Horticultural Science and his supervisors Professors Pat f lamey and Vince Souza-Machado OAC PhD 76 have filed a patent application for cole crops varieties that are resistant to the triazine fanli1y of herbicides

ormally these broad leaf plants are killed by triazine herbicides but the new plants have genetic traits that make them invulnerable to that common herbicide group Dr Ayotte says this research will find immediate application in the field

The secret is the development of a seed with triazine-resistant cytoplasm he says By cro sbreeding and backshycrossing cole crops with spring rapeshyseed (a Guelph-developed triazineshyresistant plant) the researchers created new plant bearing the nuclear genes of the cole crops and the ltylOplasmic genes of the rapeseed The result is a triazine-resistant cole crop

Breeding herbicide resistance into plants is a relatively new way of dealing with weeds in horticultural crops The traditional chemical approach has been [Q develop new compounds or extend the use of established herbicides to crops But because of the increasing costs of research and development the unshyattractive economics of herbicides for low-acreage crops and the strinshygent controls over registration standard few horticultural herbicides

Dr Renald Ayotte OAC 82

have been brought onstream It is these factors that led to this col crop project Dr Ayone says

The development of the traizineshyresistant plants could have a wideshy

spread effect on the production of cole crops which are gaining inshycreasing a c eptance by health shyconscious consumers Cauliflower sales in Canada for example have doubled over the last five years to about 824 million annuaUy

Controlling broadIeaf weed species like wild mustard and shepherds purse will not onJy reduce weed competi tion with the cole crop plants but eradicate al ternative hosts of pests and disease says Dr Ayotte And the mechanical harvesting of cole crops will be made easier by the absence of tall weeds which can clog harvesting equipment

In addition to eliminating the need fo r hand hoeing the plants will offer farmers new alternatives in crop selection says Dr Ayotte

Response by seed companies to the triazine resi tance has been good says Chris Ostrovski technology devel o pment offi cer Offi ce of Research He expects the plants (Q be popular with cole crop producers thro ughout North America and Europe as well as in China where cole crops are a staple of the diet

RESEARCH BOOSTED BY MINISTRY RELOCATION

~ricultural research at the Univershysity will benefit from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food (OMAF) decision to move its headshyquarters and over 500 staff from Toronto to Guelph

The ministrys relocation here signals and solidifies the Universitys position as the leading agricultural research institution in Canada says Dr Larry Milligan Dean of Research It is a major step toward our goal of establishing the niversity as a world centre for sustained agricultural research and technology transfer

The decision to relocate OMAF headquarters is consistent with the Ontario governments decentrali shy

zation program The announcement was part of the April 28 throne peech Relocation is expected to be complete by 1991

In 1987-88 OMAF will contribute over S31 million towards agricultural research education and services at the UniverSity This funding helps support 478 agricultural research proshyjects at OAC and OVe

No other university in Canada has the very special and entirely compleshymentary relationship with its primary external research funding source that Guelph shares with OMM says Dr Milligan With the relocation that rapport can onJy grow

OVC GRADUATE HELPS SLEEPING CHILDREN AROUND THE WORLD

Give a child a comfortable nights rest and it helps to take his mind off his hunger and conserve his energy for the demands of the next day

That s the philosophy behind Sleeping Children Around the World (SCAW) a registered Canadian charitshyable organization founded by Murray and the late Margaret Dryden parents of National Hockey League goalshytenders Dave and Ken It s an organishyzation that has given Dr Gordon S BroW11 OVC 45 of Harrow a very rewarding purpose in li fe since retirement

Gordon opened a veterinary pracshytice in Essex in 1946 and was joined 11 years later by Dr Douglas McKelvie OVC 47 The practice evolved into a busy one treating both large and small animals but a car accident in 1980 made it impossible for Gordon to continue with the large animal part He sold the practice and opened a small animal clinic in Kingsville which he operated until retiring in 1986

While on an Alaskan cruise in 1977 Gordon and his wife June met the Drydens who told them about SCAW

We were impressed with their compassion for the oppressed chilshydren in the Third World countries and their strong desire to help by supplying comfort reports Gordon

The Browns became close friends with the Drydens and began to support their precious project In 1982 Murray Dryden invited Gordon to join him in distributing bed-kits in the Third World Each kit consists of a groundsheet mattress shee ts bl anket pillow and pillow case pajamas clothing and sometimes mosquito netting

SCAW is supported by private donashytion Every dollar donated is used to provide the bed-kits nothing is siphoned off for administration or travel expenses The money is sent to existing organizations in Third World countries like Rotary Kiwanis the Salvation Army Canadian Jesuits and

Dr Gordon S Brown OVC 45 and his wife June

Pentecostal missionaries It is their responsibility to purchase materials and have the ki ts made up

When I saw first -hand the tremen shydous need and joy upon receiving the bed-kits on that first trip [ had to continue and make this project a part of my life says Gordon He has now made four trips at his 0W11 expense iOlO India and the Hin1alayas Pakistan Bangladesh Sri Lanka Thailand and the Philippines On the last two trips his wife has accompanied him and become equally enthusiastic They make the trips to witness the distrishy

bution of the ki ts and take photos of the children holding the kits and labels with the donors names on them These photos are then sent to the donors as proof that the kits are being received

Each trip takes the Browns away from their home six to seven weeks in February and March This year 12000 bed-kits will be distributed

A 1985 SCAW newsletter reports on one distribution scene In Sri Lanka the Inner Wheel (Wives of Rotarians ) intricately planned a week of d istributions in 13 d ifferent locations One was a refugee camp where a few hundred people driven out of the northern part of the island by the Tamils had taken refuge in a Catholic Church Theywere sleeping on the cement floor inety of these fami lies had witnessed their husbands and fathers lined up and shot A water tnIck came in once a day as well as a food truck We had only 100 kits for this great need Our hearts really wenl out to these people

The Browns are plCltLied to describe their SCAW trips to large or small groups Thcy may be contacted at Box 1 Blue Water Beach RR 1 Harrow Ontario NOR IGO ( 519 ) 738-6587

RADIATION EQUIPMENT FURTHERS CANCER RESEARCH

A donation of orthovoltage and cobalt radiation equipment from Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto will enable OVC to establish a radioshytherapy unit in its small animal clinic by the end of the year The gift of the used equipment will cut the estimated $250000 cost of the unit by ahout half Funds are being sought from alumni and other sources for site development of the unit

The hospital learned ofoves need for a unit while involved in joint research on the radiation treatment of dogs with lymphoma cancer in 1983 Princess Margaret researchers developed a way to preserve bone marrow while irradiating the entire body The new treatment had exeelshy

lent potential to extend remission limes in patienrs Because canine and human lymphomas arc s imilar Princess Margaret officials asked ave to carry out research on dogs using the hospitals facilities

OVC researchers treated 14 dogs with lymphoma In II of those the tumors decreased significantly in size and did not reappear in some cases until SlX months later Without treat shyment veterinarians expected the dogs had about a month to live TIle results were encouraging although not at all conclusive because of the small number of research subjects

The project stopped in 1985 pri shymarily because of staffing and space

constraints at Princess Margaret When the new radiotherapy unit is in place veterinarians wi ll resume research to find ways of increasing the duration of the effectiveness of radiation treatment Princeslt Margaret rtsearchers will explore human applications

The research could lead to work in other cancers that act similarly in dogs and humans such as osteoshysarcoma the disease suffered by Terry Fox

NEW DEPARTMENT TO FOCUS ON HEALTH OF GROUPS

A new department of population medicine at ove is focusing on tbe health of groups of animals rathe r than individuals particularly on-farm species

The department draws personnel from the departments of Clinical Studies and Veterinary Microbiology and Immunology

OVC Dean Ole Nielsen says its important for the College to have a department whose basic philosophy is concerned with the health of the group rather than the individual Its particularly important for the agri shyculnlre industry because modern food

production tends to work with large groups

Population medicine is the study of the frequency distribution and cost of disease and the inter-relationships among disease managemem enshyvironment and productivity It also involves applied strategies for health management and the prevention and control of disease

Dr ielsen says population medishyc ine is in line with the new health maintenance orientation of courses in OVCs new curriculum and it capitalizes on many ofOllr streng[hs It is also in Line with the needs of

vcterinary medicine in the future he says

As we move to larger and more complex farming operations and the economic crunch worsens there will be more emphaSiS on effiCiency and cost-effectiveness he says Population medicine is concerned with the disshytribution causes and costs of disease in animals There is emphasis on numeracy using quantitative data to measure the cost benefits of health care

Dr Nielsen says the new department will put ove in the forefront in thc modern approach to health maintenshyance in food-pn ducing animals

Dve BRIEFLY

Ove has launched a new fundshyraising p roject called Pet Trust The object is to raise money for research into problems and diseases affecting small or companion animals to further work already proceeding in such areas as oncology ophthalmology orthoshypedics reconsrmctive surgery organ dysfunction lOaesthesia infectious diseases animal behavior and human animal bonding and to provide fu nds for fellowships

Kits containing information about the program have been sent out to every veterinary practice in Ontario and response has been heartening

A Board of Tmstees will approve research projects and grants establish policy and generally promote the Pet Trust Annual reports will also be issued

DOES P EQUAL NP By Mary Dickieson

Pub lic Relations and Informa tion

One of the most perplexing proshyblems in computer science may have been solved by Professor Ted Swan who has a joint appointment in the departments of Mathematics and Statistics and Computing and Inforshymation Science He has written a paper offering proof that P=NP To the layman th is means that we will now be able to solve problems that we formerly thought we could not he says

Professor Bill Smith chair of the Department of Mathematics and Statisshytics says that if Dr Swarts results are verified they will really be quite earth-shattering and exceptional shyof far -reaching significance in mathematics

Dr Swart cautions that the jury is stili ou t on whether his approach will be proved or disproved by his peers but already his pronouncement has caused a stir in the computer world The findings are of considerable interest to everyone working in this area says Professor Smith and they are an important contribution to the problem whether or not they are eventually accepted as stated

Dr Swart says his results are bound to be met by a great deal of proshyfessional suspicion because they are contrary to the prevailing thought Most people think that P does not equal P

Although the results are still theoreshytical Professor Smith and Dr Swart agree they could have a number of practical applications Industry commerce finance and most other sectors of society that use computers could benefit from Dr Swart s adshyvancement of one of the ftmdamental aspects of computer science the use of algorithms

People solve problems on comshyputers by using precisely defined sets of steps called algOrithms says Dr_ Swart Of the two classes ofcomputer problems class P refers to those for which good polynomial time

algorithms exist enabling them to be solved effiCiently on a computer Dr Swart cites the example of the minishymal connector problem which asks for a scheme to cormect a group of cities by telephone wires in such a way that the amount of wire used is minima l Good algori thms allow this problem to be solved easily regardshyless of the number ofcities involved he says

Computer problems in the second class - NP - are considered hard to solve_Large problems in this cateshygory cannot be solved on even the most powerful computers in the world because there are no algorithms that allow solution of the problem without escalating the number of calculations to a level beyond the capacity of computers Dr Swart says there are at least 1 000 known examples of proshyblems in this class of which the travelling salesman problem is one of the best known Even for a relatively small group of cities such as the 50 US capitals there has been no solushytion to the problem of devising a route that will enable a salesman to visit each ci ty only once while trashyvelling a mininlal distance

My results say these two classes of problems are equal and that there do exist good algorithms for solving this type of computer problem he says

To prove his results Dr Swarts paper cites a similar problem the Hamilton circuit which is illustrated by asking the question Can you visit each of several cities in succession Without backtracking

Dr Swarts problem establishes that the Hamilton circuit problem can be solved in polynomial time by conshyverting a mathematical programming formulation of the problem into a linear programming formulation and using existing polynomial ti me algorithms as established by Kachiyan and Kannarkar

The Significant feature of these results is that they will enable comshyputers to tackle larger problems with more unknowns and get the results more quickly

COMPUTER SCIENCE PROGRAM APPEALS TO STUDENTS

Guelphs new masters program in computer science which enrolled its fi rst students last September aims to move advanced information techshynology out of the research laboratory and into practical application says co-ordinator Professor Tom Wi on It combines graduate courses in the latest research developments with an applied thesis

Because there are only 13 students each has what can be called a tailorshymade program says Professor Wilson The Department of Computing and Information Science plans to accept another seven students this September and expects enrolment to grow to 30 with in the next few years - deshypending on the availability of faculty and space Even with that number the program will be smaller than others in the province so the level of personal contact and flexibil ity will remain high

Students in the program are often involved in problems that are of interest to other departments About two-thirds of the students are Guelph graduates - many with double degrees

TI1e undergraduate backgrounds of the students range from medicinal chemistry to philosophy and their research interests are just as varied as the following profiles indicate

Talking to Dolphins

Karl Langton CPS 84 is combining research in artificial intelligence with a long-standing interest in dolphin

RETIRING PROFESSOR HONORED

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry hosted a symposium in the spring on the molecular mechanshyisms underlying vertebrate visual transduction The symposium honored Professor Bill Abrahamson who retired May 1 It provided a review of current approaches to a field in which Professor AbJhamson s

communication He is developing softshyware that will allow dolphin comshymunication researchers at the nivershysity of Hawaii to extract information from a database using a natural language such as English rather than a computer language This would free them from having to learn comshyplex computer skills

Karl whose thesis adviser is Proshyfessor Mary Mcleish travelled to Hawaii in April to install a natural language processing system at the Kewalo Basin Marine Mammal laborashytory and to become more fami liar with the computers available there A graduate of Gue lph s computer science program Karl at 0 has an undergraduate degree in medicinal chemistry from Concordia University and has done graduate work in neuroshyscience at McMaster Medical Centre

Howard Pel ls special interest is fibre optics and their use in wide-area communication networks sing light instead of electricity offers amazing capabilities he says because teleshyphone television and computer data can be transmitted over a single piece of pi astie

Howard who is working under Professor Wilson has a joint BA C86) from Guelph in computer science and philosophy The undershygraouate program in computer science focused more on software says Howard but his preference is hardware The master s program allows him to devote his time to this first love

contributions are widely appreciated Speakers included Dr Barry Honig

DR JOHN POWEll RECEIVES MEDAL OF MERIT

Dr John Powell who retired as professor of Human Kinetics in 1984 received the niversitys Medal of Merit at spring convocation in recognishytion not only of his important contrishybutions to establishing the study of human structure and function at the University but also in appreciation of his dedication to the physical wellshybeing of mankind

During 20 years of service to the niversity Dr Powell served two

terms as Director of the School of Human Biology and Chairman of the Department of Human Kinetics Through his guidance the Department ofHuman Kintlics was established as part of the new College of Biological Science in 1971 and after retiring he received the College s first Merishytorious Service Medal

With the untimely death of Walter Vaughan in late 1983 the call came from the Presidents office to fill Secretary of Senate Dr Powell plugged the gap for seven months fulfilling his goal to serve at the University as well as the College and departrnentallevels

In 1983 the Faculty Association presented Dr Powell with the first University of Guelph Special Merit Award in recognition of teaching excellence curriculum development and dedication to his students

Included among Dr Powells achishyevements is the initiation of the Human Kinetics Student Symposium in 1971 This undertaking has become a popular annual campus event

CSS GRAD AIMS FOR OLYMPIC GOLD Andre Bordeleau C5S 79 MA 85 is determined to earn an Olympic gold medal in running game target shooting - no matter how long it takes

It may take a long time Im a late bloomer but I figure I have another 20 years to try Age is not a big problem in my sport and at least J didnt have to sacrifice my childhood to get where I am today says the 30-yearmiddotold political science graduate

Running game target requires the shooter using a 22-caJibre rifle to hit a wild pig moving on a 10-metre rail at 72 mph 144 mph or mixed speed middot from a distance of 50 metres There are many different versions of the sport but the Olympic discipline consists of 30 shots at the slower speed (slow runs ) and 30 at the faster speed ( fast runs)

Andre Bordeleau CSS 79 MA 85 is aimingfor O~yrnpic gold in running game target shooting

The CSSAlumniAssociation cut a cake during Alumni Weekend to celebrate its 10th anniversary Taking part were lef t to right Sandra Couch and Barbara Chance board directorsjohn Aviano newpresident and his wife Inara and facui~y advisor Victor Ujim

Andre became captivated by the sport of shooting when he had a job as an offi cial d river at the L976 Olympics in Montreal

Like most French-Canadian boys I wanted to p lay hockey for the Montreal Canadiens I have the size - 6-feet-l and 215 pounds - bUl there is a problem I cant skate Something to do with small curvatures in my spine nothing serious but enough to throw out my balance So since I couldnt be a professional hockey player I decided to become an Olympic amateur athlete

In pursuit of his goal Andre left his home in Montreal to study at the

niversity of Guelph in 1976 I wanted to srudy some place like Ontario where I could become bishylingual and Guelph was one of only three universities in the province with a rifle range he explains The University of Guelph Rifle Team won three Ontario championships from 1979-81

Andre started out on the Universitys rifle team shooting at stationary tarmiddot gets bu t decided to concentrate on running gan1e because it is more suited to his hyperactive personality He went to the Canadian championships in 1977 and placed ninth At a national competition in 1981 he set two Canadian records one of which stood for three years In 1984 he won the provincial championships and set a provincial record which still stands Also in 1984 he was invited to the Olympic trials and despite sustaining a concussion in a car accident on the first day of shooting he placed third Unfortunately only the first and second place winners qualified for the Olympics

In 1986 Andre went to his first international match the World Championships in East Gemlany He shot below his average and placed 46th in the 10 metre air rifle event an indoor scaled-down version ofmnning game target

1 was disappointed but I learned a lot Before I went [wasnt ranked in

24

the world at all At least now Im ranked he says

Undaunted he is currently training for the 1988 Olympics with national running game target team coach Dick Esseltine of Peterborough and he tries to practise at the Guelph rifle range eve1 day

Running game target shooting re shyquires concentration physica l stamina eye-band co-ordination and balance But staying in financial shape is a bigger challenge for Andre than staying physically fit Unable to find a job relating to his degrees he works as a night supervisor at Stonehenge a drug rehabilitation ce ntre near Guelph While he meets his liing expenses he is struggling to pay back stude nt loans and keep up with expenses incurred as an amateur athlete

Although he estimates he has dug a 860000 hole since making the move to Guelph and devoting himself to shootinghe has no regrets He says Guelph has been a good experience culturally and linguistically He views it as the place where he started a rich amateur career and as he plods on toward Olympic gold he takes satisshyfaction in his many smaller accomshyplishments

I believe in pursuing excellence Ive set the ultimate goal ( OLympic gold) and Im going to do my best to achieve it

INDUSTRIAL ORGAN IZA TIONAL

PSYCHOLOGY MEETS GROWING DEMAND

Ahigh demand for industrial psychoshylogists in Canada has led the Departshyment of Psychology to introduce a new graduate option

I ndllstriallOrganizaliorudPsychoshylogy is being added to the masters program for specialized training which could lead to work in personncl management job dcsign and analysis organizational consulting or health and safety in the workplace

The demand for industriaL PSTchoshylogists has been brought about by rapidly changing technology business growth and legislation in the areas of workplace safety human rights equal pay amI equal employment opportuni shyties Because there are few structured graduate programs in Canada to meet this need industrial psychologists have receiytd their training in the US Othe rs have trained themselves on the job

Steven Cranshaw who earned his PhD in industrial organizational

psychology at the University ofAkron is developing the new program at Guelph He was formerly at thc Univershysity of Waterloo and is currently chairman of the industrialorganizashytional section of the Canadian Psychoshylogical Association

The department is also pursuing a joint PhD program in industrial organizational psychology with the University of Waterloo It will offer training to the highest professionaJ standards in orth America

Dr Cranshawsays a 198687 survey done by Canada Employment and Immigration lists industrial organil3shytional psychology as an area of high job demand in the near future As graduates of the Guelph program become finnly established in the work force it will become readily apparent that this University is pLaying a major ro le in improving the quality of working life

WHATS NEW IN THE DEPARTMENTS POLITICAL STUDIES In September the department will introduce a dis shytance education diploma program in Public Policy and Administrat ion taught by Professor Richard Phidd The comprehensive program conshysisting of 10 courses at the undershygraduate level will provide an inte llectuaJ component to the workshyplace experiences of profeSSionals Distance education makes the depart shyments programs and courses more widely available to people in the work force ECONOMICS Professor Louis

Christofides is the new department chairman A major change which will take place LInder his direction is the establishment of a PhD program in resource and environmental econo shymics Professor Christofidcs aJso plans to oversee a review of the undershygraduate program He says the review will determine whether an approshypriate core course sequence is in place and whether the curriculum can be improved More spacc and the recmitment of quality facu lty and graduate students are also among his goals

GEOGRAPHY The birth ofProfessor Barry Smits daughter March 3 had some frantic moments Hanna was born in the family car as the harried father-to-be sped through the night to Guelph General Hospital She was dubbed Speedy Smit by the hospital staff and is a sister for two-year-old Emily Mother Ruth Ann and the baby came through the experience none the worse for wear but Professor Smit m ust have been glad to get back to the old routine of classes and lectures At least theyre fairly predictable

OVC 125 YEARS OF TEACHING AND RESEARCH IN VETERINARY MEDICINE Many early attempts to establish veterinary schools in North America failed both before and after Andrew Smith an 1861 graduate ofEdinburgh Veterinary School set foot on Canashydian soil Yet the college he founded in 1862 is now the oldest veterinary school in continuous operation on this continent

The Ontario Veterinary College had something the others lacked Dr Smiths foresight to begin with a practical four-week course for farmers to make them acquainted with the principles of their important art and a close relationship with both the government of Upper Canada and later the provincial government

Appointed by the Upper Canada Board of Agriculture Dr Smith opershyated the College initially as a private college later by charter from 1862 until his retirement in 1908 The first lectures were free to interested young farmers TI1e first three students grad shyuated in 1866 after completing a two-year course covering anatomy physiology materica medica and surgery

By the end of the century almost 160 students a year were graduating Tuition fees were $60 for a six-month session plus $5 for dissection room and registration_ Students had to find their own dissecting material and the S3 to $5 cost per horse was usuaUy shared The 250 students required up to 100 specimens each year resulting in the almost constant movement of animals in and out of the Temperance Street College The traffic afforded many opportunities for student pranks

Dr Smiths successor Edward Grange inherited Smiths discipline problems but not his school stmcture In 1908 the College became a proshyvincial government institution and was affiliated with the University of Toronto

Move to Guelph

Principal Charles McGilvray who came to the College from Winnipeg

Dr james Gillies ave 26 and his granddaughter joan ave 88 push the button to open the doors to avCs new large animal facility

in 1918 pushed to relocate the Colshylege in Guelph in 1922 a move that paved the way for the future Located across the street from OAC it now had access to a large number and variety of farm animals The once horse-oriented ve terinary training centre turned its attention to the needs of a more mechanized society demanding the products of foodshyproducing animals

Known as a man who got things done Dr McGilvray also pushed for the 1920 Veterinary Practice Act requ ir ing that veterinarians be licenced to practise in Ontario and effectively dissolved the legendary London Veterinary Correspondence School a perennial thorn in the side of OVe He extended the Coil ge c urriculu m to four years and strengthened ties with the University ofToronto by adopting matriculation entrancc requirements He also opened OVCs doors to women by admitting the first female student in 1924

Under the direction of two more principals - Andrew MacNabb ( 1945-52) and Trevor Jones ( 1952shy68) - the College grew into an active student training and research centre

By 1952 the total number of graduates had exceeded 5500 there was a four-year enrolment of 272 students and 45 faculty_ A quota syslem of four female students a year was in effect so women could be booked to work late-night clinic hours in pairs

(n 1974 ftrst-year enrolment was increased in an effort to meet the Canadian demand for veterinarians Dean Dennis Howell successor to Dr Jones later led a fact-finding commission that recommended the establishment of a fourth Canadian veterinary school in Prince Edward Island

Today only 100 of the 600 to 700 who apply to OVC each year are accepted and enrolment criteria ensures that OVC students are the cream of the crop

OVC has always maintained close ties With government Dr Smiths grants from the Upper Canada Board of Agriculture were a contributing factor to his schools early success OVC began its second century by developing new guidel ines for negotiating grants and by establishing a new funding base for the College Its teaching function remains the responsibility of the federal and proshyvincial ministries of education but the clinical hospital is now supported by the agriculture ministries

Despite a freeze on capital funding in the 1970s OVC acquired new facilities for biomedical sciences pathology microbiology and immunoshylogy c1incial studies and the OVC branch library

Dr Ole Nielsen ove 56 becan1e dean of OVC in January 1985 sucshyceeding Douglas Maplesden who had led the College into a new era ofhigh tech in both teaching and research

ave GETTING OLDER AND BETTER T he OVC dedicated new faciliries June 19 that will upgrade its teaching research and service functions The new computer teaching lab large animal admission and examination are-lS and state-of-the-art diagnostic and surgical fucilities might be unrecogshynizable to founder Andrew Smith but the OVC objectives they enhance are in keeping with his commonsense approach to veterinary medicine

John Wise OAC 56A and Jack Riddell OAC 57 federal and provinshycial agriculture ministers brought greetings from their governments to the opening ceremony Dr Robert James Pinkney of Milton and other members ofthe Class of 3 7 dedicated two sugar maples commemorating the Colleges 125th anniversary and 50th ann iversary of their own graduation

Funded by equal grants from the federal and provincial governments the new facilities represent Phase I of a long-term redevelopment project for the College that will provide much-needed space for animals pershysonnel and technology The hospital addition includes admission examinshyation and surgical areas that should enhance the efficiency quality and extent of animal care at the College

New surgical equipment includes a hoist table that can raise a sedated animal from floor level and transport it into the operating room and a tiltshytable that restores an animal to a standing position as it recovers from anaesthetic Closed-circuit television will enable a large group of students to get a surgeons view ofprocedures with the opportunity to replay the tape instead of having to gown and crowd into a small operating room

The addition also provides more office space for faculty and students a home for the new Department of Population Medicine and head shyquarters for the hospitals computershyoperated management system

Many of the improvements in diagshynostic areas will increase the scope of co-operation between OVC and the new Equine Restarch Centre says

john Wise OAG 56A FederalMinisterof Agriculture andJack Riddell OAC 57 Ontario Minister Of Agriculture and Food led the first horses through the doors to oves new large animal facility during opening ceremonies

OVC Dean Ole Nielsen The hospital now h1S separate admission areas for horses and food animals a fibre optics and ophthalmology room with con shytrolled lighting and squeeze stock and an electrodiagnostic room deshysigned for minimal electrical intershyference A large circular lunging area

is designed to magnify the echo of a horses breathing while eliminating frightening shadows

Renovations have also upgraded existing laboratory facilities in bioshymedical sciences and clinical studies The College can now expand its continuing education offerings

ANNIVERSARY CONFERENCE An Anniversary Conference proshymising to be an exceptional opporshytunity for learning and fun will highlight oves 125th anniversary celebrations

Mounted with the assistance and co-operation of Ontarios veterinary associations and academies this is one ofthe most ambitious continuing education programs ever offered at OVe It will be held Thursday September 24 ( evening) to Saturday September 26 co -inciding with Homecoming Weekend

THE CAMPAIGN GETS $16 MILLION BOOST FROM PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT

Guc1phs capital campaign got a $16 million boost from the Ontario Ministry of Colleges and niversities ( MCU) May 25 to bring the end-ofshyMay campaign total to 548956170 Eighty-one per cent ofthe S60 million objective has been met in the first nine months of the five-year campaign

I am absolutely delighted to have reached this milestone this early in The Campaign says Marjorie Millar director Alumni Affairs and Developshyment Bur it is still a five -year campaign We will have to overshoot our target by a least 10 per cent to adequately fund the building projects

The MCUs commitment announshyced in simultaneous news conferences in Toronto and Guelph will cover two-thirds of the cost of a new 524 shymillion environmental biology horti shycultural science building on campus The remaining S8 million will come from other contributions to The Campaign

Rick Ferraro Arts 7 I MPP Jor Wellington South announcedMeUs gift oJ $16 million at a [n-ess conJershyence in Guelph May 25 He is seen here at the press conJerence with OAC Dean Freeman McEwen (left) andPresident Burt Matthews ( right)

Greg Sorbara Minister of Colleges and Universities says the building project reflects government recogni shytion that the revitalization of agri shy

culture and the protection of the environment are two of the most important challenges facing Ontario and Canada

Guelphs department of Horticulshytural Science is the only one of its kind at an Ontario university and the only one in Canada offering a doctoral program The department ofEnvironshymental Biology is the only such department in North America

niversity President Burt Matthews described the funding news as a godsend Although these two departments are leaders in leaching research and development he says they have had difficulties in meeting their obligations due to outdated and inadequate facilities

The proposed site for the new building is adjacent to Graham Hall President Matthews says the pwject shouLd go to tender in January 1989 Construction is expected to take about two years

IVAN TAYLOR A FRIEND TO STUDENTS AND HORSES

Duringhis 39 years ar the University Ivan Taylor attended the births of more than 300 foals So it was not surprising thal he had a connection with one of the Percherons used in the ground breaking ceremony which marked the start of construction of the Equine Research Centre this spring Ivan was present at the birth of the Percherons mother Duchess bred at OAC

Hes likely forgotten more about horses than the rest of us could ever hope ro learn in the first place an onlooker at the ceremony was overshyheard to say about Ivan

The onlooker could have been any one of hundreds of students Ivan trained to show and care for horses over the years

He had an interest in people as well as horses and whenever a student needed help he was there He was practical dependable conscientious and extremely knowledgeable about horses His equine talents were outstanding says Bruce Stone OAC 53 MSA 54 Associate Dean ofOAC

Ivan first acquired a feel for horses as a youngster on his fathers farm When he began working at OAC in 1946 he was known as a teamster someone who drove teams of horses to do the tleld work There was only one tractor at the University so horseshypower got most of the work done Ivan recalls spending several hours a week cleaning and shining the brassshymounted harness worn by the horses at that time

When asked about his skill with horses Ivan modestly attributes it to the late Professor Orval Kennedy with whom he worked for many years

At first we had 80 ro 100 horses We used some for work and some to teach field husbandry We even used them to take students on sleigh rides We broke in a lot of colts he says

Ivan remembers in particular training six horse hitches to pur on displays at Farm and Home Week an

Ivan TaYD (above) attended the birth of this Percherons mother Duchess bred at OAC The horse was one of two owned by Cameron Shantz used for agrouncl-breaking ceremony Apnl29 to mark the start 0fconstruction ofthe Equine Research Centre

OAC eveOl which lasted until the mid sixries He says he always looked forward to helping students prepare and rrain their horses for College Royal as well

In the sixties the College began to dispense wirh heavy draught horses until eventually it just had some light horses Ivan finished out his niversity career apound manager of the bull tesring station at Arkell

Dr Claire Rennie OAC 47 assistant deputy minister OMAF says During my years in the Department of Animal and Poultry Science at the UniverSity I was thankful many times thar we had a person like Ivan responsible for specific operations at rhe Arkell Research Sration He managed the beef bull performance testing promiddot gram as though ir was his very own

Ivan retired in May 1986 He now works part-time in the wholesale business and sometimes judges horses at fall fairs

Dr Russ Willoughby OVC 57

director of the Equine Research Centre invited Ivan to participate in the ground breaking ceremony because he is a very fine man who has helped hundreds ofpeople at this

niversity He was the key person looking after OLLr horses for many years

Ivan says It was a nice honor to be there

DONATE TO PATIO

SOIL EROSION GETS SPECIAL ATTENTION

T he new Centre for Soil and Water Conservation will provide a focal point for research on the degradation of soil and water resources says the Centres director Land Resource Science Professor Murray Miller OAC 53

Soil erosion costs Ontario farmers an estimated $68 million a year in nutriem and yield losses says Dr Miller [n 19S4 a Senate report on soil conservation described erosion as the most serious agricultural crisis in Canadas history and predicted the loss of a major portion of Canadas agricultural capability ifprompt action were not taken

The loss of productive topsoil is not the only problem Soil erosion is the cause of major pollution of Ontarios Great Lakes Runoff from farm land is the source of about twoshythirds of the phosphorus that is desshytroying marine life in Lake Erie Dr Miller says

The problem has become so serious that the federal government and province of Ontario have agreed to spend 830 million over tlve years to reduce phosphorus inputs to the lakes And the Omario Ministry of Agriculshyntre and Food has established a soiJ

TURFGRASS INSTITUTE The University will become a centre of Canadian turfgrass research edushycation and extension now that Senate has given the go-ahead to establish a Guelph Turfgrass Institute (GTI)

Sponsored by the Ontario Ministry ofAgriculrure and Food the niversity and the turfgrass industry GTI - the first centre of its kind in Canada shywill be housed in a new building on Stone Road

GTI will support a provincial turfshygrass industry valued at more than 240 million It will create a favorable

environment for research in turfgrass science an extension program and courses and seminars in ntrfgrass

Dr Murray Miller OAC 53

and water management branch to put greater emphasis on this area

There is a serious need for research on soil and water conservation says Dr Miller and Guelph will be much better able to meet that need with a co-ordlnated program on campus

About 25 tlculty members in various disciplines at the University have expershytise in soil and water conservation Dr Miller expects the Centre to increase the visibility and accessibility of Guelphs expertise allowing Guelph to assist government industry and other groups with soil and water conservation problems

One of the Centres first contracts is with Agriculture Canadas Soil and Water Environmental Enhancement Program to prepare an in-depth background report on soil and water conservation in southwestern Ontario

production and management at the associate diploma undergraduate and graduate levels

Turfgrass research has gone on well here since its beginnings back in the 1940s says Professor Lee Burpee Environmental Biology who has been working with colleagues for two years to establish a lurfgrass institute GTI would put us all together encourage diSCUSSion help morale and give us and the ulrfgrass industry more visishybiliry Six faculry in three departments are involved in turfgrass research In 1985 S6 the UniversityS turfgrass scientists spent more than SOO hours on extension activities

HORTICULTURALISTS FILE PATENT APPLICATION FOR TRIAZINEmiddotRESISTANT CROPS

By Owen Roberts O ffice of Research

One of the few places where farmers still have to hack at weeds with a hand hoe is among their rows ofbroccoIi cabbage cauliflower and Brussels sprouts - the cole crops Few effective herbicides exist for these crops The need for manual labor has kept the hoe busy but slowed the development of a Canadian cole crop industry

A breakthrough at the University however could not only make hand hoeing a chore of the past but heighten the importance of cole crops in Canadian agriculture Dr Renald Ayotte OAC 82 and a recent PhD graduate in Horticultural Science and his supervisors Professors Pat f lamey and Vince Souza-Machado OAC PhD 76 have filed a patent application for cole crops varieties that are resistant to the triazine fanli1y of herbicides

ormally these broad leaf plants are killed by triazine herbicides but the new plants have genetic traits that make them invulnerable to that common herbicide group Dr Ayotte says this research will find immediate application in the field

The secret is the development of a seed with triazine-resistant cytoplasm he says By cro sbreeding and backshycrossing cole crops with spring rapeshyseed (a Guelph-developed triazineshyresistant plant) the researchers created new plant bearing the nuclear genes of the cole crops and the ltylOplasmic genes of the rapeseed The result is a triazine-resistant cole crop

Breeding herbicide resistance into plants is a relatively new way of dealing with weeds in horticultural crops The traditional chemical approach has been [Q develop new compounds or extend the use of established herbicides to crops But because of the increasing costs of research and development the unshyattractive economics of herbicides for low-acreage crops and the strinshygent controls over registration standard few horticultural herbicides

Dr Renald Ayotte OAC 82

have been brought onstream It is these factors that led to this col crop project Dr Ayone says

The development of the traizineshyresistant plants could have a wideshy

spread effect on the production of cole crops which are gaining inshycreasing a c eptance by health shyconscious consumers Cauliflower sales in Canada for example have doubled over the last five years to about 824 million annuaUy

Controlling broadIeaf weed species like wild mustard and shepherds purse will not onJy reduce weed competi tion with the cole crop plants but eradicate al ternative hosts of pests and disease says Dr Ayotte And the mechanical harvesting of cole crops will be made easier by the absence of tall weeds which can clog harvesting equipment

In addition to eliminating the need fo r hand hoeing the plants will offer farmers new alternatives in crop selection says Dr Ayotte

Response by seed companies to the triazine resi tance has been good says Chris Ostrovski technology devel o pment offi cer Offi ce of Research He expects the plants (Q be popular with cole crop producers thro ughout North America and Europe as well as in China where cole crops are a staple of the diet

RESEARCH BOOSTED BY MINISTRY RELOCATION

~ricultural research at the Univershysity will benefit from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food (OMAF) decision to move its headshyquarters and over 500 staff from Toronto to Guelph

The ministrys relocation here signals and solidifies the Universitys position as the leading agricultural research institution in Canada says Dr Larry Milligan Dean of Research It is a major step toward our goal of establishing the niversity as a world centre for sustained agricultural research and technology transfer

The decision to relocate OMAF headquarters is consistent with the Ontario governments decentrali shy

zation program The announcement was part of the April 28 throne peech Relocation is expected to be complete by 1991

In 1987-88 OMAF will contribute over S31 million towards agricultural research education and services at the UniverSity This funding helps support 478 agricultural research proshyjects at OAC and OVe

No other university in Canada has the very special and entirely compleshymentary relationship with its primary external research funding source that Guelph shares with OMM says Dr Milligan With the relocation that rapport can onJy grow

OVC GRADUATE HELPS SLEEPING CHILDREN AROUND THE WORLD

Give a child a comfortable nights rest and it helps to take his mind off his hunger and conserve his energy for the demands of the next day

That s the philosophy behind Sleeping Children Around the World (SCAW) a registered Canadian charitshyable organization founded by Murray and the late Margaret Dryden parents of National Hockey League goalshytenders Dave and Ken It s an organishyzation that has given Dr Gordon S BroW11 OVC 45 of Harrow a very rewarding purpose in li fe since retirement

Gordon opened a veterinary pracshytice in Essex in 1946 and was joined 11 years later by Dr Douglas McKelvie OVC 47 The practice evolved into a busy one treating both large and small animals but a car accident in 1980 made it impossible for Gordon to continue with the large animal part He sold the practice and opened a small animal clinic in Kingsville which he operated until retiring in 1986

While on an Alaskan cruise in 1977 Gordon and his wife June met the Drydens who told them about SCAW

We were impressed with their compassion for the oppressed chilshydren in the Third World countries and their strong desire to help by supplying comfort reports Gordon

The Browns became close friends with the Drydens and began to support their precious project In 1982 Murray Dryden invited Gordon to join him in distributing bed-kits in the Third World Each kit consists of a groundsheet mattress shee ts bl anket pillow and pillow case pajamas clothing and sometimes mosquito netting

SCAW is supported by private donashytion Every dollar donated is used to provide the bed-kits nothing is siphoned off for administration or travel expenses The money is sent to existing organizations in Third World countries like Rotary Kiwanis the Salvation Army Canadian Jesuits and

Dr Gordon S Brown OVC 45 and his wife June

Pentecostal missionaries It is their responsibility to purchase materials and have the ki ts made up

When I saw first -hand the tremen shydous need and joy upon receiving the bed-kits on that first trip [ had to continue and make this project a part of my life says Gordon He has now made four trips at his 0W11 expense iOlO India and the Hin1alayas Pakistan Bangladesh Sri Lanka Thailand and the Philippines On the last two trips his wife has accompanied him and become equally enthusiastic They make the trips to witness the distrishy

bution of the ki ts and take photos of the children holding the kits and labels with the donors names on them These photos are then sent to the donors as proof that the kits are being received

Each trip takes the Browns away from their home six to seven weeks in February and March This year 12000 bed-kits will be distributed

A 1985 SCAW newsletter reports on one distribution scene In Sri Lanka the Inner Wheel (Wives of Rotarians ) intricately planned a week of d istributions in 13 d ifferent locations One was a refugee camp where a few hundred people driven out of the northern part of the island by the Tamils had taken refuge in a Catholic Church Theywere sleeping on the cement floor inety of these fami lies had witnessed their husbands and fathers lined up and shot A water tnIck came in once a day as well as a food truck We had only 100 kits for this great need Our hearts really wenl out to these people

The Browns are plCltLied to describe their SCAW trips to large or small groups Thcy may be contacted at Box 1 Blue Water Beach RR 1 Harrow Ontario NOR IGO ( 519 ) 738-6587

RADIATION EQUIPMENT FURTHERS CANCER RESEARCH

A donation of orthovoltage and cobalt radiation equipment from Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto will enable OVC to establish a radioshytherapy unit in its small animal clinic by the end of the year The gift of the used equipment will cut the estimated $250000 cost of the unit by ahout half Funds are being sought from alumni and other sources for site development of the unit

The hospital learned ofoves need for a unit while involved in joint research on the radiation treatment of dogs with lymphoma cancer in 1983 Princess Margaret researchers developed a way to preserve bone marrow while irradiating the entire body The new treatment had exeelshy

lent potential to extend remission limes in patienrs Because canine and human lymphomas arc s imilar Princess Margaret officials asked ave to carry out research on dogs using the hospitals facilities

OVC researchers treated 14 dogs with lymphoma In II of those the tumors decreased significantly in size and did not reappear in some cases until SlX months later Without treat shyment veterinarians expected the dogs had about a month to live TIle results were encouraging although not at all conclusive because of the small number of research subjects

The project stopped in 1985 pri shymarily because of staffing and space

constraints at Princess Margaret When the new radiotherapy unit is in place veterinarians wi ll resume research to find ways of increasing the duration of the effectiveness of radiation treatment Princeslt Margaret rtsearchers will explore human applications

The research could lead to work in other cancers that act similarly in dogs and humans such as osteoshysarcoma the disease suffered by Terry Fox

NEW DEPARTMENT TO FOCUS ON HEALTH OF GROUPS

A new department of population medicine at ove is focusing on tbe health of groups of animals rathe r than individuals particularly on-farm species

The department draws personnel from the departments of Clinical Studies and Veterinary Microbiology and Immunology

OVC Dean Ole Nielsen says its important for the College to have a department whose basic philosophy is concerned with the health of the group rather than the individual Its particularly important for the agri shyculnlre industry because modern food

production tends to work with large groups

Population medicine is the study of the frequency distribution and cost of disease and the inter-relationships among disease managemem enshyvironment and productivity It also involves applied strategies for health management and the prevention and control of disease

Dr ielsen says population medishyc ine is in line with the new health maintenance orientation of courses in OVCs new curriculum and it capitalizes on many ofOllr streng[hs It is also in Line with the needs of

vcterinary medicine in the future he says

As we move to larger and more complex farming operations and the economic crunch worsens there will be more emphaSiS on effiCiency and cost-effectiveness he says Population medicine is concerned with the disshytribution causes and costs of disease in animals There is emphasis on numeracy using quantitative data to measure the cost benefits of health care

Dr Nielsen says the new department will put ove in the forefront in thc modern approach to health maintenshyance in food-pn ducing animals

Dve BRIEFLY

Ove has launched a new fundshyraising p roject called Pet Trust The object is to raise money for research into problems and diseases affecting small or companion animals to further work already proceeding in such areas as oncology ophthalmology orthoshypedics reconsrmctive surgery organ dysfunction lOaesthesia infectious diseases animal behavior and human animal bonding and to provide fu nds for fellowships

Kits containing information about the program have been sent out to every veterinary practice in Ontario and response has been heartening

DOES P EQUAL NP By Mary Dickieson

Pub lic Relations and Informa tion

One of the most perplexing proshyblems in computer science may have been solved by Professor Ted Swan who has a joint appointment in the departments of Mathematics and Statistics and Computing and Inforshymation Science He has written a paper offering proof that P=NP To the layman th is means that we will now be able to solve problems that we formerly thought we could not he says

Professor Bill Smith chair of the Department of Mathematics and Statisshytics says that if Dr Swarts results are verified they will really be quite earth-shattering and exceptional shyof far -reaching significance in mathematics

Dr Swart cautions that the jury is stili ou t on whether his approach will be proved or disproved by his peers but already his pronouncement has caused a stir in the computer world The findings are of considerable interest to everyone working in this area says Professor Smith and they are an important contribution to the problem whether or not they are eventually accepted as stated

Dr Swart says his results are bound to be met by a great deal of proshyfessional suspicion because they are contrary to the prevailing thought Most people think that P does not equal P

Although the results are still theoreshytical Professor Smith and Dr Swart agree they could have a number of practical applications Industry commerce finance and most other sectors of society that use computers could benefit from Dr Swart s adshyvancement of one of the ftmdamental aspects of computer science the use of algorithms

People solve problems on comshyputers by using precisely defined sets of steps called algOrithms says Dr_ Swart Of the two classes ofcomputer problems class P refers to those for which good polynomial time

algorithms exist enabling them to be solved effiCiently on a computer Dr Swart cites the example of the minishymal connector problem which asks for a scheme to cormect a group of cities by telephone wires in such a way that the amount of wire used is minima l Good algori thms allow this problem to be solved easily regardshyless of the number ofcities involved he says

Computer problems in the second class - NP - are considered hard to solve_Large problems in this cateshygory cannot be solved on even the most powerful computers in the world because there are no algorithms that allow solution of the problem without escalating the number of calculations to a level beyond the capacity of computers Dr Swart says there are at least 1 000 known examples of proshyblems in this class of which the travelling salesman problem is one of the best known Even for a relatively small group of cities such as the 50 US capitals there has been no solushytion to the problem of devising a route that will enable a salesman to visit each ci ty only once while trashyvelling a mininlal distance

My results say these two classes of problems are equal and that there do exist good algorithms for solving this type of computer problem he says

To prove his results Dr Swarts paper cites a similar problem the Hamilton circuit which is illustrated by asking the question Can you visit each of several cities in succession Without backtracking

Dr Swarts problem establishes that the Hamilton circuit problem can be solved in polynomial time by conshyverting a mathematical programming formulation of the problem into a linear programming formulation and using existing polynomial ti me algorithms as established by Kachiyan and Kannarkar

The Significant feature of these results is that they will enable comshyputers to tackle larger problems with more unknowns and get the results more quickly

COMPUTER SCIENCE PROGRAM APPEALS TO STUDENTS

Guelphs new masters program in computer science which enrolled its fi rst students last September aims to move advanced information techshynology out of the research laboratory and into practical application says co-ordinator Professor Tom Wi on It combines graduate courses in the latest research developments with an applied thesis

Because there are only 13 students each has what can be called a tailorshymade program says Professor Wilson The Department of Computing and Information Science plans to accept another seven students this September and expects enrolment to grow to 30 with in the next few years - deshypending on the availability of faculty and space Even with that number the program will be smaller than others in the province so the level of personal contact and flexibil ity will remain high

Students in the program are often involved in problems that are of interest to other departments About two-thirds of the students are Guelph graduates - many with double degrees

TI1e undergraduate backgrounds of the students range from medicinal chemistry to philosophy and their research interests are just as varied as the following profiles indicate

RETIRING PROFESSOR HONORED

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry hosted a symposium in the spring on the molecular mechanshyisms underlying vertebrate visual transduction The symposium honored Professor Bill Abrahamson who retired May 1 It provided a review of current approaches to a field in which Professor AbJhamson s

communication He is developing softshyware that will allow dolphin comshymunication researchers at the nivershysity of Hawaii to extract information from a database using a natural language such as English rather than a computer language This would free them from having to learn comshyplex computer skills

Karl whose thesis adviser is Proshyfessor Mary Mcleish travelled to Hawaii in April to install a natural language processing system at the Kewalo Basin Marine Mammal laborashytory and to become more fami liar with the computers available there A graduate of Gue lph s computer science program Karl at 0 has an undergraduate degree in medicinal chemistry from Concordia University and has done graduate work in neuroshyscience at McMaster Medical Centre

Howard Pel ls special interest is fibre optics and their use in wide-area communication networks sing light instead of electricity offers amazing capabilities he says because teleshyphone television and computer data can be transmitted over a single piece of pi astie

Howard who is working under Professor Wilson has a joint BA C86) from Guelph in computer science and philosophy The undershygraouate program in computer science focused more on software says Howard but his preference is hardware The master s program allows him to devote his time to this first love

contributions are widely appreciated Speakers included Dr Barry Honig

During 20 years of service to the niversity Dr Powell served two

terms as Director of the School of Human Biology and Chairman of the Department of Human Kinetics Through his guidance the Department ofHuman Kintlics was established as part of the new College of Biological Science in 1971 and after retiring he received the College s first Merishytorious Service Medal

With the untimely death of Walter Vaughan in late 1983 the call came from the Presidents office to fill Secretary of Senate Dr Powell plugged the gap for seven months fulfilling his goal to serve at the University as well as the College and departrnentallevels

In 1983 the Faculty Association presented Dr Powell with the first University of Guelph Special Merit Award in recognition of teaching excellence curriculum development and dedication to his students

Included among Dr Powells achishyevements is the initiation of the Human Kinetics Student Symposium in 1971 This undertaking has become a popular annual campus event

Dr Powell served as Honorary Preshysident of the Human Kinetics Alumni Association from 1971 -83 and served as editor of both the Bio-Sci News in the Guelph Alumnus and the Human Kinetics Newsletter The Human Kinetics Alumn i Association has honored him with a scholarship in his nanle

When he arrived at Guelph in 1965 Dr Powell initiated and for five days a week still leads the CardioshyVascular Club This club has brought a genuine enjoyment of exercise into

the lives ofDr Powells many disciples In 1983 a film featuring the CardioshyVascular Club funded by the Univershysity of Guelph Alumni Association won acdaim from the Czechoslovashykian government The film was later shown in Budapest at the request of the Hungarian government Dr Powell was honored by Premier WilIian1 Davis in 1985 for his specific conshytrihution to cardiov-Scular rehabilishytation

For 15 years Or Powell has been a member of the I nternational Olympic Academy an institution that develops the theory ethics and procedures for the Olympic Games His contribution to the Academy was recognized by the He llenic Olympic Committee when it conferred upon him the prestigious rank of Collaborator and awarded him a silver medallion_ He also received one of two silver commemorative medals presented to Canadians in 1986 for devoted work to the youth of the world through the International Olympic Academy since 1972

Dr Powell has come up with a definition for the word Olympism wh ich has been officially accepted by the Canadian Olympic Association

PROFESSOR EMERITUS

PrOfessor emeritus status was bestowed on Professor John George Department of Zoology at spring convocation

Born and educated in India Proshyfessor George joined the University of Baroda in 1950 as the first head of its zoology department and over the next decade developed one of the leading zoology departments in India He came to Guelph as professor of zoology in 1967 a pOSition he held until his retirement in 1986

Twice a Fulbright FeUow Professor George has been an invited speaker at

Dr john Powel~ Left receives MedaL afMeritfrom Chancelor William A StfnVart at spring convocation

The word was first used in 1896 and continued to be used but had never been defined middotThe definition states that olympism is a harmony of ideas and ideals that affinn the value of Olympic sport in promoting and developing physical and moral quali shyties in individuals and in contributing to a better and more peaceful world by enabling nations to meet in an atmosphere of mutual respect and international amity

One word that Dr Powell hasnt come up with a definition for is retirement A self-proclaimed people person he continues to remain active on campus through the Human Kinetics Symposia and the Cardio-Vascular eurolub and also conshyducts back rehabilitation clinics through Medical Services As long as people need him he will have contrishybutions to make Im a very thankful man he says

PROFESSOR RETIRES

Drw George Barker was honored on his retirement recently at a dinner and reception hosted by the Departshyment of Botany Dr Barkers career in plant science includes two periods at the University of Guelph From 1972 to 1983 he was chair of the Depart shyment of Botany and Genetics in the newly-formed College of Biological Science and was instrumental in guiding the department into new strengths in Botany Ecology and Genetics The emerging Genetics section became the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics in 1983

Dr Barker a native of Stratford served in Europe during World War II as a captain in the Provost Company of the Canadian Army On his return he earned his BSe (1947 ) and MSc ( 1949 ) at the University of Western Ontario His masters thesis was con shycerned with the effect of ethyl carbashymate on mitotic activity in plants This biologically-active compound recently made headlines as a contashyminant of certain wines

In 1953 Dr Barker received his PhD from the University ofMichigan for h is thesis on the proliferation of bass wood taken from 50-year-old trunk tissue demonstrating that these cells retained full developmental capashycity From this time on Dr Barker has maintained an interest in plant tissue culture

From 1952-54Dr Barker was assisshytant professor in the Department of Botany ( then OAC) During this period he perfected the technique of produci ng tubers in vitro This approach remains a cornerstone of modem biotechnology with potatoes

From 1955 to 1960 Dr Barker worked with the United Fmit Comshypany in Costa Rica Honduras and at Cornell developing practical methods of banana propagation still in wideshyspread use and carrying out basic studies on morphology and anatomy He became co-ordinator of research on lowbush blueberries at the Agri shyc ultural Rese a r c h Stat ion in Frederic ton and in 1964 w as appointed Director of the Biological Teaching Unit University of Manitoba

Dr W George Barker

When Dr Barker returned to Guelph in 1972 he llsed his long shyestablished experience in basic and applied research and teaching to build a new department in a new College He leaves behind a strong teaching department which also has an estab shyli shed in ternational research reputalion

Dr Keith Ronald director of the Arboretum and former dean of CBS announced that a Scotch pine in the Arboretum had been dedicated in honor of Dr Barkers contribution to all aipects ofUniversity life Dr Bruce Sells dean of CBS emphasized Dr Barkers pivotaJ role in initiating strong programs in three areas of biological science and presented him with a chair on behalf of the College Dr ] Derek Bewley present chair of Botany thanked Dr Barker for his help and guidance and presented a VCR from the 100 alumni students staff and faculty members in attendance at the dinner

INDUSTRY TASK FORCE REVIEWS IFM PROGRAM

A task force representing senior levels of the dietetic profession and institutional foodservice management met on campus earlier this year to advise the School of Hotel and Food Administration ( HAFA ) about the development of its Institutional Foodshyservice Management Program ( IFM ) The task force convened by FACS Dean Richard Barham is part ofHAFAs review of the IFM program one of two majors offered in the Bachelor of Commerce honors program

Included on the task force are the preside n t and executive vic e shypresident of Canadas two largest institutional foodservice management firms as well as the vice-president of the countrys largest nursing home chain

Discussion focused on intermediate and long-term plans of HAFA faculty The task force supports curriculum revisions designed to strengthen the nutrit ion and b iological science components of the IFM major The program prepares graduates for intern shyships as adn inistrative dietitians although some graduates choose to follow careers in institutional food middot service outside dietetics

The task force al so support s graduate training in administration for dietetic professionals There is a need for such a progran1 among therashypeutic dietitians seeking to shift their field of practice [Q administration and among administrative dietitians who wish to improve their qualifi shycations The task force also feels that a masters degree would be an appro shypriate alternat ive to a dietetic internship

The task force discussed the need for programs of continuing pro shyfessional education It supports proposals to develop more courses in continuing education as it relates [Q

administrative dietetics

Members of the task force agreed to continue to serve as a resource group to HAFAs IFM programs

CSS GRAD AIMS FOR OLYMPIC GOLD Andre Bordeleau C5S 79 MA 85 is determined to earn an Olympic gold medal in running game target shooting - no matter how long it takes

It may take a long time Im a late bloomer but I figure I have another 20 years to try Age is not a big problem in my sport and at least J didnt have to sacrifice my childhood to get where I am today says the 30-yearmiddotold political science graduate

Running game target requires the shooter using a 22-caJibre rifle to hit a wild pig moving on a 10-metre rail at 72 mph 144 mph or mixed speed middot from a distance of 50 metres There are many different versions of the sport but the Olympic discipline consists of 30 shots at the slower speed (slow runs ) and 30 at the faster speed ( fast runs)

Andre Bordeleau CSS 79 MA 85 is aimingfor O~yrnpic gold in running game target shooting

The CSSAlumniAssociation cut a cake during Alumni Weekend to celebrate its 10th anniversary Taking part were lef t to right Sandra Couch and Barbara Chance board directorsjohn Aviano newpresident and his wife Inara and facui~y advisor Victor Ujim

Andre became captivated by the sport of shooting when he had a job as an offi cial d river at the L976 Olympics in Montreal

Like most French-Canadian boys I wanted to p lay hockey for the Montreal Canadiens I have the size - 6-feet-l and 215 pounds - bUl there is a problem I cant skate Something to do with small curvatures in my spine nothing serious but enough to throw out my balance So since I couldnt be a professional hockey player I decided to become an Olympic amateur athlete

In pursuit of his goal Andre left his home in Montreal to study at the

niversity of Guelph in 1976 I wanted to srudy some place like Ontario where I could become bishylingual and Guelph was one of only three universities in the province with a rifle range he explains The University of Guelph Rifle Team won three Ontario championships from 1979-81

Andre started out on the Universitys rifle team shooting at stationary tarmiddot gets bu t decided to concentrate on running gan1e because it is more suited to his hyperactive personality He went to the Canadian championships in 1977 and placed ninth At a national competition in 1981 he set two Canadian records one of which stood for three years In 1984 he won the provincial championships and set a provincial record which still stands Also in 1984 he was invited to the Olympic trials and despite sustaining a concussion in a car accident on the first day of shooting he placed third Unfortunately only the first and second place winners qualified for the Olympics

In 1986 Andre went to his first international match the World Championships in East Gemlany He shot below his average and placed 46th in the 10 metre air rifle event an indoor scaled-down version ofmnning game target

1 was disappointed but I learned a lot Before I went [wasnt ranked in

24

the world at all At least now Im ranked he says

Undaunted he is currently training for the 1988 Olympics with national running game target team coach Dick Esseltine of Peterborough and he tries to practise at the Guelph rifle range eve1 day

Running game target shooting re shyquires concentration physica l stamina eye-band co-ordination and balance But staying in financial shape is a bigger challenge for Andre than staying physically fit Unable to find a job relating to his degrees he works as a night supervisor at Stonehenge a drug rehabilitation ce ntre near Guelph While he meets his liing expenses he is struggling to pay back stude nt loans and keep up with expenses incurred as an amateur athlete

Although he estimates he has dug a 860000 hole since making the move to Guelph and devoting himself to shootinghe has no regrets He says Guelph has been a good experience culturally and linguistically He views it as the place where he started a rich amateur career and as he plods on toward Olympic gold he takes satisshyfaction in his many smaller accomshyplishments

I believe in pursuing excellence Ive set the ultimate goal ( OLympic gold) and Im going to do my best to achieve it

INDUSTRIAL ORGAN IZA TIONAL

PSYCHOLOGY MEETS GROWING DEMAND

Ahigh demand for industrial psychoshylogists in Canada has led the Departshyment of Psychology to introduce a new graduate option

I ndllstriallOrganizaliorudPsychoshylogy is being added to the masters program for specialized training which could lead to work in personncl management job dcsign and analysis organizational consulting or health and safety in the workplace

The demand for industriaL PSTchoshylogists has been brought about by rapidly changing technology business growth and legislation in the areas of workplace safety human rights equal pay amI equal employment opportuni shyties Because there are few structured graduate programs in Canada to meet this need industrial psychologists have receiytd their training in the US Othe rs have trained themselves on the job

Steven Cranshaw who earned his PhD in industrial organizational

psychology at the University ofAkron is developing the new program at Guelph He was formerly at thc Univershysity of Waterloo and is currently chairman of the industrialorganizashytional section of the Canadian Psychoshylogical Association

The department is also pursuing a joint PhD program in industrial organizational psychology with the University of Waterloo It will offer training to the highest professionaJ standards in orth America

Dr Cranshawsays a 198687 survey done by Canada Employment and Immigration lists industrial organil3shytional psychology as an area of high job demand in the near future As graduates of the Guelph program become finnly established in the work force it will become readily apparent that this University is pLaying a major ro le in improving the quality of working life

WHATS NEW IN THE DEPARTMENTS POLITICAL STUDIES In September the department will introduce a dis shytance education diploma program in Public Policy and Administrat ion taught by Professor Richard Phidd The comprehensive program conshysisting of 10 courses at the undershygraduate level will provide an inte llectuaJ component to the workshyplace experiences of profeSSionals Distance education makes the depart shyments programs and courses more widely available to people in the work force ECONOMICS Professor Louis

Christofides is the new department chairman A major change which will take place LInder his direction is the establishment of a PhD program in resource and environmental econo shymics Professor Christofidcs aJso plans to oversee a review of the undershygraduate program He says the review will determine whether an approshypriate core course sequence is in place and whether the curriculum can be improved More spacc and the recmitment of quality facu lty and graduate students are also among his goals

GEOGRAPHY The birth ofProfessor Barry Smits daughter March 3 had some frantic moments Hanna was born in the family car as the harried father-to-be sped through the night to Guelph General Hospital She was dubbed Speedy Smit by the hospital staff and is a sister for two-year-old Emily Mother Ruth Ann and the baby came through the experience none the worse for wear but Professor Smit m ust have been glad to get back to the old routine of classes and lectures At least theyre fairly predictable

Alumn i House was a central gathering place during Alumni Weekshyend and will serve the san1e role during future Alumni Weekends but its benefits go far beyond the social scene said Ross The build ing will be a meeting place for the UGAA college alumni associations individual classes and interest groups such as Alumnishyin-Action

The Department of Alumni Affairs and Development reunited staff from three separate buildings on campus when it moved into Alumni House May 4

CLASS AGENTS RECEPTION

The fi rst annual class agents recepshytion on May 21 hosted by President Burt Matthews was also the first official function for alumni in the newly renovated Alumni House

111e 42 class agents and college representatives who attended the event were thanked for their volunteer efforts by President Matthews Gordon Nixon chairAlma Mater Fund (AMF) Advisory Council and Marjorie Millar d irector Alumni Affairs and Development

Gerry Ludwig manager AMF and Toni Pellizzari assistant AMF have successfully recruited 245 class agents this year who w ill be encouraging their classmates to support their alma mater through annual giving One of the major projects being funded is Alumni House

THE CAMPAIGN GETS $16 MILLION BOOST FROM PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT

Guc1phs capital campaign got a $16 million boost from the Ontario Ministry of Colleges and niversities ( MCU) May 25 to bring the end-ofshyMay campaign total to 548956170 Eighty-one per cent ofthe S60 million objective has been met in the first nine months of the five-year campaign

I am absolutely delighted to have reached this milestone this early in The Campaign says Marjorie Millar director Alumni Affairs and Developshyment Bur it is still a five -year campaign We will have to overshoot our target by a least 10 per cent to adequately fund the building projects

The MCUs commitment announshyced in simultaneous news conferences in Toronto and Guelph will cover two-thirds of the cost of a new 524 shymillion environmental biology horti shycultural science building on campus The remaining S8 million will come from other contributions to The Campaign

Rick Ferraro Arts 7 I MPP Jor Wellington South announcedMeUs gift oJ $16 million at a [n-ess conJershyence in Guelph May 25 He is seen here at the press conJerence with OAC Dean Freeman McEwen (left) andPresident Burt Matthews ( right)

Greg Sorbara Minister of Colleges and Universities says the building project reflects government recogni shytion that the revitalization of agri shy

culture and the protection of the environment are two of the most important challenges facing Ontario and Canada

Guelphs department of Horticulshytural Science is the only one of its kind at an Ontario university and the only one in Canada offering a doctoral program The department ofEnvironshymental Biology is the only such department in North America

niversity President Burt Matthews described the funding news as a godsend Although these two departments are leaders in leaching research and development he says they have had difficulties in meeting their obligations due to outdated and inadequate facilities

The proposed site for the new building is adjacent to Graham Hall President Matthews says the pwject shouLd go to tender in January 1989 Construction is expected to take about two years

IVAN TAYLOR A FRIEND TO STUDENTS AND HORSES

Duringhis 39 years ar the University Ivan Taylor attended the births of more than 300 foals So it was not surprising thal he had a connection with one of the Percherons used in the ground breaking ceremony which marked the start of construction of the Equine Research Centre this spring Ivan was present at the birth of the Percherons mother Duchess bred at OAC

Hes likely forgotten more about horses than the rest of us could ever hope ro learn in the first place an onlooker at the ceremony was overshyheard to say about Ivan

The onlooker could have been any one of hundreds of students Ivan trained to show and care for horses over the years

He had an interest in people as well as horses and whenever a student needed help he was there He was practical dependable conscientious and extremely knowledgeable about horses His equine talents were outstanding says Bruce Stone OAC 53 MSA 54 Associate Dean ofOAC

Ivan first acquired a feel for horses as a youngster on his fathers farm When he began working at OAC in 1946 he was known as a teamster someone who drove teams of horses to do the tleld work There was only one tractor at the University so horseshypower got most of the work done Ivan recalls spending several hours a week cleaning and shining the brassshymounted harness worn by the horses at that time

When asked about his skill with horses Ivan modestly attributes it to the late Professor Orval Kennedy with whom he worked for many years

At first we had 80 ro 100 horses We used some for work and some to teach field husbandry We even used them to take students on sleigh rides We broke in a lot of colts he says

Ivan remembers in particular training six horse hitches to pur on displays at Farm and Home Week an

Ivan TaYD (above) attended the birth of this Percherons mother Duchess bred at OAC The horse was one of two owned by Cameron Shantz used for agrouncl-breaking ceremony Apnl29 to mark the start 0fconstruction ofthe Equine Research Centre

OAC eveOl which lasted until the mid sixries He says he always looked forward to helping students prepare and rrain their horses for College Royal as well

In the sixties the College began to dispense wirh heavy draught horses until eventually it just had some light horses Ivan finished out his niversity career apound manager of the bull tesring station at Arkell

Dr Claire Rennie OAC 47 assistant deputy minister OMAF says During my years in the Department of Animal and Poultry Science at the UniverSity I was thankful many times thar we had a person like Ivan responsible for specific operations at rhe Arkell Research Sration He managed the beef bull performance testing promiddot gram as though ir was his very own

Ivan retired in May 1986 He now works part-time in the wholesale business and sometimes judges horses at fall fairs

Dr Russ Willoughby OVC 57

director of the Equine Research Centre invited Ivan to participate in the ground breaking ceremony because he is a very fine man who has helped hundreds ofpeople at this

niversity He was the key person looking after OLLr horses for many years

Ivan says It was a nice honor to be there

DONATE TO PATIO

SOIL EROSION GETS SPECIAL ATTENTION

T he new Centre for Soil and Water Conservation will provide a focal point for research on the degradation of soil and water resources says the Centres director Land Resource Science Professor Murray Miller OAC 53

Soil erosion costs Ontario farmers an estimated $68 million a year in nutriem and yield losses says Dr Miller [n 19S4 a Senate report on soil conservation described erosion as the most serious agricultural crisis in Canadas history and predicted the loss of a major portion of Canadas agricultural capability ifprompt action were not taken

The loss of productive topsoil is not the only problem Soil erosion is the cause of major pollution of Ontarios Great Lakes Runoff from farm land is the source of about twoshythirds of the phosphorus that is desshytroying marine life in Lake Erie Dr Miller says

The problem has become so serious that the federal government and province of Ontario have agreed to spend 830 million over tlve years to reduce phosphorus inputs to the lakes And the Omario Ministry of Agriculshyntre and Food has established a soiJ

TURFGRASS INSTITUTE The University will become a centre of Canadian turfgrass research edushycation and extension now that Senate has given the go-ahead to establish a Guelph Turfgrass Institute (GTI)

Sponsored by the Ontario Ministry ofAgriculrure and Food the niversity and the turfgrass industry GTI - the first centre of its kind in Canada shywill be housed in a new building on Stone Road

GTI will support a provincial turfshygrass industry valued at more than 240 million It will create a favorable

environment for research in turfgrass science an extension program and courses and seminars in ntrfgrass

Dr Murray Miller OAC 53

and water management branch to put greater emphasis on this area

There is a serious need for research on soil and water conservation says Dr Miller and Guelph will be much better able to meet that need with a co-ordlnated program on campus

About 25 tlculty members in various disciplines at the University have expershytise in soil and water conservation Dr Miller expects the Centre to increase the visibility and accessibility of Guelphs expertise allowing Guelph to assist government industry and other groups with soil and water conservation problems

One of the Centres first contracts is with Agriculture Canadas Soil and Water Environmental Enhancement Program to prepare an in-depth background report on soil and water conservation in southwestern Ontario

production and management at the associate diploma undergraduate and graduate levels

Turfgrass research has gone on well here since its beginnings back in the 1940s says Professor Lee Burpee Environmental Biology who has been working with colleagues for two years to establish a lurfgrass institute GTI would put us all together encourage diSCUSSion help morale and give us and the ulrfgrass industry more visishybiliry Six faculry in three departments are involved in turfgrass research In 1985 S6 the UniversityS turfgrass scientists spent more than SOO hours on extension activities

HORTICULTURALISTS FILE PATENT APPLICATION FOR TRIAZINEmiddotRESISTANT CROPS

By Owen Roberts O ffice of Research

One of the few places where farmers still have to hack at weeds with a hand hoe is among their rows ofbroccoIi cabbage cauliflower and Brussels sprouts - the cole crops Few effective herbicides exist for these crops The need for manual labor has kept the hoe busy but slowed the development of a Canadian cole crop industry

A breakthrough at the University however could not only make hand hoeing a chore of the past but heighten the importance of cole crops in Canadian agriculture Dr Renald Ayotte OAC 82 and a recent PhD graduate in Horticultural Science and his supervisors Professors Pat f lamey and Vince Souza-Machado OAC PhD 76 have filed a patent application for cole crops varieties that are resistant to the triazine fanli1y of herbicides

ormally these broad leaf plants are killed by triazine herbicides but the new plants have genetic traits that make them invulnerable to that common herbicide group Dr Ayotte says this research will find immediate application in the field

The secret is the development of a seed with triazine-resistant cytoplasm he says By cro sbreeding and backshycrossing cole crops with spring rapeshyseed (a Guelph-developed triazineshyresistant plant) the researchers created new plant bearing the nuclear genes of the cole crops and the ltylOplasmic genes of the rapeseed The result is a triazine-resistant cole crop

Breeding herbicide resistance into plants is a relatively new way of dealing with weeds in horticultural crops The traditional chemical approach has been [Q develop new compounds or extend the use of established herbicides to crops But because of the increasing costs of research and development the unshyattractive economics of herbicides for low-acreage crops and the strinshygent controls over registration standard few horticultural herbicides

Dr Renald Ayotte OAC 82

have been brought onstream It is these factors that led to this col crop project Dr Ayone says

The development of the traizineshyresistant plants could have a wideshy

spread effect on the production of cole crops which are gaining inshycreasing a c eptance by health shyconscious consumers Cauliflower sales in Canada for example have doubled over the last five years to about 824 million annuaUy

Controlling broadIeaf weed species like wild mustard and shepherds purse will not onJy reduce weed competi tion with the cole crop plants but eradicate al ternative hosts of pests and disease says Dr Ayotte And the mechanical harvesting of cole crops will be made easier by the absence of tall weeds which can clog harvesting equipment

In addition to eliminating the need fo r hand hoeing the plants will offer farmers new alternatives in crop selection says Dr Ayotte

Response by seed companies to the triazine resi tance has been good says Chris Ostrovski technology devel o pment offi cer Offi ce of Research He expects the plants (Q be popular with cole crop producers thro ughout North America and Europe as well as in China where cole crops are a staple of the diet

RESEARCH BOOSTED BY MINISTRY RELOCATION

~ricultural research at the Univershysity will benefit from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food (OMAF) decision to move its headshyquarters and over 500 staff from Toronto to Guelph

The ministrys relocation here signals and solidifies the Universitys position as the leading agricultural research institution in Canada says Dr Larry Milligan Dean of Research It is a major step toward our goal of establishing the niversity as a world centre for sustained agricultural research and technology transfer

The decision to relocate OMAF headquarters is consistent with the Ontario governments decentrali shy

zation program The announcement was part of the April 28 throne peech Relocation is expected to be complete by 1991

In 1987-88 OMAF will contribute over S31 million towards agricultural research education and services at the UniverSity This funding helps support 478 agricultural research proshyjects at OAC and OVe

No other university in Canada has the very special and entirely compleshymentary relationship with its primary external research funding source that Guelph shares with OMM says Dr Milligan With the relocation that rapport can onJy grow

OVC GRADUATE HELPS SLEEPING CHILDREN AROUND THE WORLD

Give a child a comfortable nights rest and it helps to take his mind off his hunger and conserve his energy for the demands of the next day

That s the philosophy behind Sleeping Children Around the World (SCAW) a registered Canadian charitshyable organization founded by Murray and the late Margaret Dryden parents of National Hockey League goalshytenders Dave and Ken It s an organishyzation that has given Dr Gordon S BroW11 OVC 45 of Harrow a very rewarding purpose in li fe since retirement

Gordon opened a veterinary pracshytice in Essex in 1946 and was joined 11 years later by Dr Douglas McKelvie OVC 47 The practice evolved into a busy one treating both large and small animals but a car accident in 1980 made it impossible for Gordon to continue with the large animal part He sold the practice and opened a small animal clinic in Kingsville which he operated until retiring in 1986

While on an Alaskan cruise in 1977 Gordon and his wife June met the Drydens who told them about SCAW

We were impressed with their compassion for the oppressed chilshydren in the Third World countries and their strong desire to help by supplying comfort reports Gordon

The Browns became close friends with the Drydens and began to support their precious project In 1982 Murray Dryden invited Gordon to join him in distributing bed-kits in the Third World Each kit consists of a groundsheet mattress shee ts bl anket pillow and pillow case pajamas clothing and sometimes mosquito netting

SCAW is supported by private donashytion Every dollar donated is used to provide the bed-kits nothing is siphoned off for administration or travel expenses The money is sent to existing organizations in Third World countries like Rotary Kiwanis the Salvation Army Canadian Jesuits and

Dr Gordon S Brown OVC 45 and his wife June

Pentecostal missionaries It is their responsibility to purchase materials and have the ki ts made up

When I saw first -hand the tremen shydous need and joy upon receiving the bed-kits on that first trip [ had to continue and make this project a part of my life says Gordon He has now made four trips at his 0W11 expense iOlO India and the Hin1alayas Pakistan Bangladesh Sri Lanka Thailand and the Philippines On the last two trips his wife has accompanied him and become equally enthusiastic They make the trips to witness the distrishy

bution of the ki ts and take photos of the children holding the kits and labels with the donors names on them These photos are then sent to the donors as proof that the kits are being received

Each trip takes the Browns away from their home six to seven weeks in February and March This year 12000 bed-kits will be distributed

RADIATION EQUIPMENT FURTHERS CANCER RESEARCH

A donation of orthovoltage and cobalt radiation equipment from Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto will enable OVC to establish a radioshytherapy unit in its small animal clinic by the end of the year The gift of the used equipment will cut the estimated $250000 cost of the unit by ahout half Funds are being sought from alumni and other sources for site development of the unit

The hospital learned ofoves need for a unit while involved in joint research on the radiation treatment of dogs with lymphoma cancer in 1983 Princess Margaret researchers developed a way to preserve bone marrow while irradiating the entire body The new treatment had exeelshy

lent potential to extend remission limes in patienrs Because canine and human lymphomas arc s imilar Princess Margaret officials asked ave to carry out research on dogs using the hospitals facilities

OVC researchers treated 14 dogs with lymphoma In II of those the tumors decreased significantly in size and did not reappear in some cases until SlX months later Without treat shyment veterinarians expected the dogs had about a month to live TIle results were encouraging although not at all conclusive because of the small number of research subjects

The project stopped in 1985 pri shymarily because of staffing and space

constraints at Princess Margaret When the new radiotherapy unit is in place veterinarians wi ll resume research to find ways of increasing the duration of the effectiveness of radiation treatment Princeslt Margaret rtsearchers will explore human applications

The research could lead to work in other cancers that act similarly in dogs and humans such as osteoshysarcoma the disease suffered by Terry Fox

If you would like to contribute to the radiotherapy unit at OVC send your donations to Alumni House

NEW DEPARTMENT TO FOCUS ON HEALTH OF GROUPS

A new department of population medicine at ove is focusing on tbe health of groups of animals rathe r than individuals particularly on-farm species

The department draws personnel from the departments of Clinical Studies and Veterinary Microbiology and Immunology

OVC Dean Ole Nielsen says its important for the College to have a department whose basic philosophy is concerned with the health of the group rather than the individual Its particularly important for the agri shyculnlre industry because modern food

production tends to work with large groups

Population medicine is the study of the frequency distribution and cost of disease and the inter-relationships among disease managemem enshyvironment and productivity It also involves applied strategies for health management and the prevention and control of disease

Dr ielsen says population medishyc ine is in line with the new health maintenance orientation of courses in OVCs new curriculum and it capitalizes on many ofOllr streng[hs It is also in Line with the needs of

vcterinary medicine in the future he says

As we move to larger and more complex farming operations and the economic crunch worsens there will be more emphaSiS on effiCiency and cost-effectiveness he says Population medicine is concerned with the disshytribution causes and costs of disease in animals There is emphasis on numeracy using quantitative data to measure the cost benefits of health care

Dr Nielsen says the new department will put ove in the forefront in thc modern approach to health maintenshyance in food-pn ducing animals

Dve BRIEFLY

Ove has launched a new fundshyraising p roject called Pet Trust The object is to raise money for research into problems and diseases affecting small or companion animals to further work already proceeding in such areas as oncology ophthalmology orthoshypedics reconsrmctive surgery organ dysfunction lOaesthesia infectious diseases animal behavior and human animal bonding and to provide fu nds for fellowships

Kits containing information about the program have been sent out to every veterinary practice in Ontario and response has been heartening

A Board of Tmstees will approve research projects and grants establish policy and generally promote the Pet Trust Annual reports will also be issued

DOES P EQUAL NP By Mary Dickieson

Pub lic Relations and Informa tion

One of the most perplexing proshyblems in computer science may have been solved by Professor Ted Swan who has a joint appointment in the departments of Mathematics and Statistics and Computing and Inforshymation Science He has written a paper offering proof that P=NP To the layman th is means that we will now be able to solve problems that we formerly thought we could not he says

Professor Bill Smith chair of the Department of Mathematics and Statisshytics says that if Dr Swarts results are verified they will really be quite earth-shattering and exceptional shyof far -reaching significance in mathematics

Dr Swart cautions that the jury is stili ou t on whether his approach will be proved or disproved by his peers but already his pronouncement has caused a stir in the computer world The findings are of considerable interest to everyone working in this area says Professor Smith and they are an important contribution to the problem whether or not they are eventually accepted as stated

Dr Swart says his results are bound to be met by a great deal of proshyfessional suspicion because they are contrary to the prevailing thought Most people think that P does not equal P

Although the results are still theoreshytical Professor Smith and Dr Swart agree they could have a number of practical applications Industry commerce finance and most other sectors of society that use computers could benefit from Dr Swart s adshyvancement of one of the ftmdamental aspects of computer science the use of algorithms

People solve problems on comshyputers by using precisely defined sets of steps called algOrithms says Dr_ Swart Of the two classes ofcomputer problems class P refers to those for which good polynomial time

algorithms exist enabling them to be solved effiCiently on a computer Dr Swart cites the example of the minishymal connector problem which asks for a scheme to cormect a group of cities by telephone wires in such a way that the amount of wire used is minima l Good algori thms allow this problem to be solved easily regardshyless of the number ofcities involved he says

Computer problems in the second class - NP - are considered hard to solve_Large problems in this cateshygory cannot be solved on even the most powerful computers in the world because there are no algorithms that allow solution of the problem without escalating the number of calculations to a level beyond the capacity of computers Dr Swart says there are at least 1 000 known examples of proshyblems in this class of which the travelling salesman problem is one of the best known Even for a relatively small group of cities such as the 50 US capitals there has been no solushytion to the problem of devising a route that will enable a salesman to visit each ci ty only once while trashyvelling a mininlal distance

My results say these two classes of problems are equal and that there do exist good algorithms for solving this type of computer problem he says

To prove his results Dr Swarts paper cites a similar problem the Hamilton circuit which is illustrated by asking the question Can you visit each of several cities in succession Without backtracking

Dr Swarts problem establishes that the Hamilton circuit problem can be solved in polynomial time by conshyverting a mathematical programming formulation of the problem into a linear programming formulation and using existing polynomial ti me algorithms as established by Kachiyan and Kannarkar

The Significant feature of these results is that they will enable comshyputers to tackle larger problems with more unknowns and get the results more quickly

COMPUTER SCIENCE PROGRAM APPEALS TO STUDENTS

Guelphs new masters program in computer science which enrolled its fi rst students last September aims to move advanced information techshynology out of the research laboratory and into practical application says co-ordinator Professor Tom Wi on It combines graduate courses in the latest research developments with an applied thesis

Because there are only 13 students each has what can be called a tailorshymade program says Professor Wilson The Department of Computing and Information Science plans to accept another seven students this September and expects enrolment to grow to 30 with in the next few years - deshypending on the availability of faculty and space Even with that number the program will be smaller than others in the province so the level of personal contact and flexibil ity will remain high

Students in the program are often involved in problems that are of interest to other departments About two-thirds of the students are Guelph graduates - many with double degrees

TI1e undergraduate backgrounds of the students range from medicinal chemistry to philosophy and their research interests are just as varied as the following profiles indicate

RETIRING PROFESSOR HONORED

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry hosted a symposium in the spring on the molecular mechanshyisms underlying vertebrate visual transduction The symposium honored Professor Bill Abrahamson who retired May 1 It provided a review of current approaches to a field in which Professor AbJhamson s

communication He is developing softshyware that will allow dolphin comshymunication researchers at the nivershysity of Hawaii to extract information from a database using a natural language such as English rather than a computer language This would free them from having to learn comshyplex computer skills

Karl whose thesis adviser is Proshyfessor Mary Mcleish travelled to Hawaii in April to install a natural language processing system at the Kewalo Basin Marine Mammal laborashytory and to become more fami liar with the computers available there A graduate of Gue lph s computer science program Karl at 0 has an undergraduate degree in medicinal chemistry from Concordia University and has done graduate work in neuroshyscience at McMaster Medical Centre

Howard Pel ls special interest is fibre optics and their use in wide-area communication networks sing light instead of electricity offers amazing capabilities he says because teleshyphone television and computer data can be transmitted over a single piece of pi astie

Howard who is working under Professor Wilson has a joint BA C86) from Guelph in computer science and philosophy The undershygraouate program in computer science focused more on software says Howard but his preference is hardware The master s program allows him to devote his time to this first love

contributions are widely appreciated Speakers included Dr Barry Honig

During 20 years of service to the niversity Dr Powell served two

terms as Director of the School of Human Biology and Chairman of the Department of Human Kinetics Through his guidance the Department ofHuman Kintlics was established as part of the new College of Biological Science in 1971 and after retiring he received the College s first Merishytorious Service Medal

With the untimely death of Walter Vaughan in late 1983 the call came from the Presidents office to fill Secretary of Senate Dr Powell plugged the gap for seven months fulfilling his goal to serve at the University as well as the College and departrnentallevels

In 1983 the Faculty Association presented Dr Powell with the first University of Guelph Special Merit Award in recognition of teaching excellence curriculum development and dedication to his students

Included among Dr Powells achishyevements is the initiation of the Human Kinetics Student Symposium in 1971 This undertaking has become a popular annual campus event

Dr Powell served as Honorary Preshysident of the Human Kinetics Alumni Association from 1971 -83 and served as editor of both the Bio-Sci News in the Guelph Alumnus and the Human Kinetics Newsletter The Human Kinetics Alumn i Association has honored him with a scholarship in his nanle

When he arrived at Guelph in 1965 Dr Powell initiated and for five days a week still leads the CardioshyVascular Club This club has brought a genuine enjoyment of exercise into

the lives ofDr Powells many disciples In 1983 a film featuring the CardioshyVascular Club funded by the Univershysity of Guelph Alumni Association won acdaim from the Czechoslovashykian government The film was later shown in Budapest at the request of the Hungarian government Dr Powell was honored by Premier WilIian1 Davis in 1985 for his specific conshytrihution to cardiov-Scular rehabilishytation

For 15 years Or Powell has been a member of the I nternational Olympic Academy an institution that develops the theory ethics and procedures for the Olympic Games His contribution to the Academy was recognized by the He llenic Olympic Committee when it conferred upon him the prestigious rank of Collaborator and awarded him a silver medallion_ He also received one of two silver commemorative medals presented to Canadians in 1986 for devoted work to the youth of the world through the International Olympic Academy since 1972

Dr Powell has come up with a definition for the word Olympism wh ich has been officially accepted by the Canadian Olympic Association

PROFESSOR EMERITUS

PrOfessor emeritus status was bestowed on Professor John George Department of Zoology at spring convocation

Born and educated in India Proshyfessor George joined the University of Baroda in 1950 as the first head of its zoology department and over the next decade developed one of the leading zoology departments in India He came to Guelph as professor of zoology in 1967 a pOSition he held until his retirement in 1986

PROFESSOR RETIRES

Drw George Barker was honored on his retirement recently at a dinner and reception hosted by the Departshyment of Botany Dr Barkers career in plant science includes two periods at the University of Guelph From 1972 to 1983 he was chair of the Depart shyment of Botany and Genetics in the newly-formed College of Biological Science and was instrumental in guiding the department into new strengths in Botany Ecology and Genetics The emerging Genetics section became the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics in 1983

Dr Barker a native of Stratford served in Europe during World War II as a captain in the Provost Company of the Canadian Army On his return he earned his BSe (1947 ) and MSc ( 1949 ) at the University of Western Ontario His masters thesis was con shycerned with the effect of ethyl carbashymate on mitotic activity in plants This biologically-active compound recently made headlines as a contashyminant of certain wines

In 1953 Dr Barker received his PhD from the University ofMichigan for h is thesis on the proliferation of bass wood taken from 50-year-old trunk tissue demonstrating that these cells retained full developmental capashycity From this time on Dr Barker has maintained an interest in plant tissue culture

From 1952-54Dr Barker was assisshytant professor in the Department of Botany ( then OAC) During this period he perfected the technique of produci ng tubers in vitro This approach remains a cornerstone of modem biotechnology with potatoes

From 1955 to 1960 Dr Barker worked with the United Fmit Comshypany in Costa Rica Honduras and at Cornell developing practical methods of banana propagation still in wideshyspread use and carrying out basic studies on morphology and anatomy He became co-ordinator of research on lowbush blueberries at the Agri shyc ultural Rese a r c h Stat ion in Frederic ton and in 1964 w as appointed Director of the Biological Teaching Unit University of Manitoba

Dr W George Barker

When Dr Barker returned to Guelph in 1972 he llsed his long shyestablished experience in basic and applied research and teaching to build a new department in a new College He leaves behind a strong teaching department which also has an estab shyli shed in ternational research reputalion

Dr Keith Ronald director of the Arboretum and former dean of CBS announced that a Scotch pine in the Arboretum had been dedicated in honor of Dr Barkers contribution to all aipects ofUniversity life Dr Bruce Sells dean of CBS emphasized Dr Barkers pivotaJ role in initiating strong programs in three areas of biological science and presented him with a chair on behalf of the College Dr ] Derek Bewley present chair of Botany thanked Dr Barker for his help and guidance and presented a VCR from the 100 alumni students staff and faculty members in attendance at the dinner

INDUSTRY TASK FORCE REVIEWS IFM PROGRAM

A task force representing senior levels of the dietetic profession and institutional foodservice management met on campus earlier this year to advise the School of Hotel and Food Administration ( HAFA ) about the development of its Institutional Foodshyservice Management Program ( IFM ) The task force convened by FACS Dean Richard Barham is part ofHAFAs review of the IFM program one of two majors offered in the Bachelor of Commerce honors program

Included on the task force are the preside n t and executive vic e shypresident of Canadas two largest institutional foodservice management firms as well as the vice-president of the countrys largest nursing home chain

Discussion focused on intermediate and long-term plans of HAFA faculty The task force supports curriculum revisions designed to strengthen the nutrit ion and b iological science components of the IFM major The program prepares graduates for intern shyships as adn inistrative dietitians although some graduates choose to follow careers in institutional food middot service outside dietetics

The task force al so support s graduate training in administration for dietetic professionals There is a need for such a progran1 among therashypeutic dietitians seeking to shift their field of practice [Q administration and among administrative dietitians who wish to improve their qualifi shycations The task force also feels that a masters degree would be an appro shypriate alternat ive to a dietetic internship

The task force discussed the need for programs of continuing pro shyfessional education It supports proposals to develop more courses in continuing education as it relates [Q

administrative dietetics

Members of the task force agreed to continue to serve as a resource group to HAFAs IFM programs

CSS GRAD AIMS FOR OLYMPIC GOLD Andre Bordeleau C5S 79 MA 85 is determined to earn an Olympic gold medal in running game target shooting - no matter how long it takes

It may take a long time Im a late bloomer but I figure I have another 20 years to try Age is not a big problem in my sport and at least J didnt have to sacrifice my childhood to get where I am today says the 30-yearmiddotold political science graduate

Running game target requires the shooter using a 22-caJibre rifle to hit a wild pig moving on a 10-metre rail at 72 mph 144 mph or mixed speed middot from a distance of 50 metres There are many different versions of the sport but the Olympic discipline consists of 30 shots at the slower speed (slow runs ) and 30 at the faster speed ( fast runs)

niversity of Guelph in 1976 I wanted to srudy some place like Ontario where I could become bishylingual and Guelph was one of only three universities in the province with a rifle range he explains The University of Guelph Rifle Team won three Ontario championships from 1979-81

Andre started out on the Universitys rifle team shooting at stationary tarmiddot gets bu t decided to concentrate on running gan1e because it is more suited to his hyperactive personality He went to the Canadian championships in 1977 and placed ninth At a national competition in 1981 he set two Canadian records one of which stood for three years In 1984 he won the provincial championships and set a provincial record which still stands Also in 1984 he was invited to the Olympic trials and despite sustaining a concussion in a car accident on the first day of shooting he placed third Unfortunately only the first and second place winners qualified for the Olympics

In 1986 Andre went to his first international match the World Championships in East Gemlany He shot below his average and placed 46th in the 10 metre air rifle event an indoor scaled-down version ofmnning game target

1 was disappointed but I learned a lot Before I went [wasnt ranked in

24

the world at all At least now Im ranked he says

Undaunted he is currently training for the 1988 Olympics with national running game target team coach Dick Esseltine of Peterborough and he tries to practise at the Guelph rifle range eve1 day

Running game target shooting re shyquires concentration physica l stamina eye-band co-ordination and balance But staying in financial shape is a bigger challenge for Andre than staying physically fit Unable to find a job relating to his degrees he works as a night supervisor at Stonehenge a drug rehabilitation ce ntre near Guelph While he meets his liing expenses he is struggling to pay back stude nt loans and keep up with expenses incurred as an amateur athlete

Although he estimates he has dug a 860000 hole since making the move to Guelph and devoting himself to shootinghe has no regrets He says Guelph has been a good experience culturally and linguistically He views it as the place where he started a rich amateur career and as he plods on toward Olympic gold he takes satisshyfaction in his many smaller accomshyplishments

I believe in pursuing excellence Ive set the ultimate goal ( OLympic gold) and Im going to do my best to achieve it

INDUSTRIAL ORGAN IZA TIONAL

PSYCHOLOGY MEETS GROWING DEMAND

Ahigh demand for industrial psychoshylogists in Canada has led the Departshyment of Psychology to introduce a new graduate option

I ndllstriallOrganizaliorudPsychoshylogy is being added to the masters program for specialized training which could lead to work in personncl management job dcsign and analysis organizational consulting or health and safety in the workplace

The demand for industriaL PSTchoshylogists has been brought about by rapidly changing technology business growth and legislation in the areas of workplace safety human rights equal pay amI equal employment opportuni shyties Because there are few structured graduate programs in Canada to meet this need industrial psychologists have receiytd their training in the US Othe rs have trained themselves on the job

Steven Cranshaw who earned his PhD in industrial organizational

psychology at the University ofAkron is developing the new program at Guelph He was formerly at thc Univershysity of Waterloo and is currently chairman of the industrialorganizashytional section of the Canadian Psychoshylogical Association

The department is also pursuing a joint PhD program in industrial organizational psychology with the University of Waterloo It will offer training to the highest professionaJ standards in orth America

Dr Cranshawsays a 198687 survey done by Canada Employment and Immigration lists industrial organil3shytional psychology as an area of high job demand in the near future As graduates of the Guelph program become finnly established in the work force it will become readily apparent that this University is pLaying a major ro le in improving the quality of working life

WHATS NEW IN THE DEPARTMENTS POLITICAL STUDIES In September the department will introduce a dis shytance education diploma program in Public Policy and Administrat ion taught by Professor Richard Phidd The comprehensive program conshysisting of 10 courses at the undershygraduate level will provide an inte llectuaJ component to the workshyplace experiences of profeSSionals Distance education makes the depart shyments programs and courses more widely available to people in the work force ECONOMICS Professor Louis

Christofides is the new department chairman A major change which will take place LInder his direction is the establishment of a PhD program in resource and environmental econo shymics Professor Christofidcs aJso plans to oversee a review of the undershygraduate program He says the review will determine whether an approshypriate core course sequence is in place and whether the curriculum can be improved More spacc and the recmitment of quality facu lty and graduate students are also among his goals

GEOGRAPHY The birth ofProfessor Barry Smits daughter March 3 had some frantic moments Hanna was born in the family car as the harried father-to-be sped through the night to Guelph General Hospital She was dubbed Speedy Smit by the hospital staff and is a sister for two-year-old Emily Mother Ruth Ann and the baby came through the experience none the worse for wear but Professor Smit m ust have been glad to get back to the old routine of classes and lectures At least theyre fairly predictable

THE CAMPAIGN GETS $16 MILLION BOOST FROM PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT

Guc1phs capital campaign got a $16 million boost from the Ontario Ministry of Colleges and niversities ( MCU) May 25 to bring the end-ofshyMay campaign total to 548956170 Eighty-one per cent ofthe S60 million objective has been met in the first nine months of the five-year campaign

I am absolutely delighted to have reached this milestone this early in The Campaign says Marjorie Millar director Alumni Affairs and Developshyment Bur it is still a five -year campaign We will have to overshoot our target by a least 10 per cent to adequately fund the building projects

The MCUs commitment announshyced in simultaneous news conferences in Toronto and Guelph will cover two-thirds of the cost of a new 524 shymillion environmental biology horti shycultural science building on campus The remaining S8 million will come from other contributions to The Campaign

Rick Ferraro Arts 7 I MPP Jor Wellington South announcedMeUs gift oJ $16 million at a [n-ess conJershyence in Guelph May 25 He is seen here at the press conJerence with OAC Dean Freeman McEwen (left) andPresident Burt Matthews ( right)

Greg Sorbara Minister of Colleges and Universities says the building project reflects government recogni shytion that the revitalization of agri shy

culture and the protection of the environment are two of the most important challenges facing Ontario and Canada

Guelphs department of Horticulshytural Science is the only one of its kind at an Ontario university and the only one in Canada offering a doctoral program The department ofEnvironshymental Biology is the only such department in North America

niversity President Burt Matthews described the funding news as a godsend Although these two departments are leaders in leaching research and development he says they have had difficulties in meeting their obligations due to outdated and inadequate facilities

The proposed site for the new building is adjacent to Graham Hall President Matthews says the pwject shouLd go to tender in January 1989 Construction is expected to take about two years

IVAN TAYLOR A FRIEND TO STUDENTS AND HORSES

Duringhis 39 years ar the University Ivan Taylor attended the births of more than 300 foals So it was not surprising thal he had a connection with one of the Percherons used in the ground breaking ceremony which marked the start of construction of the Equine Research Centre this spring Ivan was present at the birth of the Percherons mother Duchess bred at OAC

Hes likely forgotten more about horses than the rest of us could ever hope ro learn in the first place an onlooker at the ceremony was overshyheard to say about Ivan

The onlooker could have been any one of hundreds of students Ivan trained to show and care for horses over the years

He had an interest in people as well as horses and whenever a student needed help he was there He was practical dependable conscientious and extremely knowledgeable about horses His equine talents were outstanding says Bruce Stone OAC 53 MSA 54 Associate Dean ofOAC

Ivan first acquired a feel for horses as a youngster on his fathers farm When he began working at OAC in 1946 he was known as a teamster someone who drove teams of horses to do the tleld work There was only one tractor at the University so horseshypower got most of the work done Ivan recalls spending several hours a week cleaning and shining the brassshymounted harness worn by the horses at that time

When asked about his skill with horses Ivan modestly attributes it to the late Professor Orval Kennedy with whom he worked for many years

At first we had 80 ro 100 horses We used some for work and some to teach field husbandry We even used them to take students on sleigh rides We broke in a lot of colts he says

Ivan remembers in particular training six horse hitches to pur on displays at Farm and Home Week an

OAC eveOl which lasted until the mid sixries He says he always looked forward to helping students prepare and rrain their horses for College Royal as well

In the sixties the College began to dispense wirh heavy draught horses until eventually it just had some light horses Ivan finished out his niversity career apound manager of the bull tesring station at Arkell

Dr Claire Rennie OAC 47 assistant deputy minister OMAF says During my years in the Department of Animal and Poultry Science at the UniverSity I was thankful many times thar we had a person like Ivan responsible for specific operations at rhe Arkell Research Sration He managed the beef bull performance testing promiddot gram as though ir was his very own

Ivan retired in May 1986 He now works part-time in the wholesale business and sometimes judges horses at fall fairs

Dr Russ Willoughby OVC 57

director of the Equine Research Centre invited Ivan to participate in the ground breaking ceremony because he is a very fine man who has helped hundreds ofpeople at this

niversity He was the key person looking after OLLr horses for many years

Ivan says It was a nice honor to be there

DONATE TO PATIO

SOIL EROSION GETS SPECIAL ATTENTION

T he new Centre for Soil and Water Conservation will provide a focal point for research on the degradation of soil and water resources says the Centres director Land Resource Science Professor Murray Miller OAC 53

Soil erosion costs Ontario farmers an estimated $68 million a year in nutriem and yield losses says Dr Miller [n 19S4 a Senate report on soil conservation described erosion as the most serious agricultural crisis in Canadas history and predicted the loss of a major portion of Canadas agricultural capability ifprompt action were not taken

The loss of productive topsoil is not the only problem Soil erosion is the cause of major pollution of Ontarios Great Lakes Runoff from farm land is the source of about twoshythirds of the phosphorus that is desshytroying marine life in Lake Erie Dr Miller says

The problem has become so serious that the federal government and province of Ontario have agreed to spend 830 million over tlve years to reduce phosphorus inputs to the lakes And the Omario Ministry of Agriculshyntre and Food has established a soiJ

TURFGRASS INSTITUTE The University will become a centre of Canadian turfgrass research edushycation and extension now that Senate has given the go-ahead to establish a Guelph Turfgrass Institute (GTI)

Sponsored by the Ontario Ministry ofAgriculrure and Food the niversity and the turfgrass industry GTI - the first centre of its kind in Canada shywill be housed in a new building on Stone Road

GTI will support a provincial turfshygrass industry valued at more than 240 million It will create a favorable

environment for research in turfgrass science an extension program and courses and seminars in ntrfgrass

Dr Murray Miller OAC 53

and water management branch to put greater emphasis on this area

There is a serious need for research on soil and water conservation says Dr Miller and Guelph will be much better able to meet that need with a co-ordlnated program on campus

About 25 tlculty members in various disciplines at the University have expershytise in soil and water conservation Dr Miller expects the Centre to increase the visibility and accessibility of Guelphs expertise allowing Guelph to assist government industry and other groups with soil and water conservation problems

One of the Centres first contracts is with Agriculture Canadas Soil and Water Environmental Enhancement Program to prepare an in-depth background report on soil and water conservation in southwestern Ontario

production and management at the associate diploma undergraduate and graduate levels

Turfgrass research has gone on well here since its beginnings back in the 1940s says Professor Lee Burpee Environmental Biology who has been working with colleagues for two years to establish a lurfgrass institute GTI would put us all together encourage diSCUSSion help morale and give us and the ulrfgrass industry more visishybiliry Six faculry in three departments are involved in turfgrass research In 1985 S6 the UniversityS turfgrass scientists spent more than SOO hours on extension activities

HORTICULTURALISTS FILE PATENT APPLICATION FOR TRIAZINEmiddotRESISTANT CROPS

By Owen Roberts O ffice of Research

One of the few places where farmers still have to hack at weeds with a hand hoe is among their rows ofbroccoIi cabbage cauliflower and Brussels sprouts - the cole crops Few effective herbicides exist for these crops The need for manual labor has kept the hoe busy but slowed the development of a Canadian cole crop industry

A breakthrough at the University however could not only make hand hoeing a chore of the past but heighten the importance of cole crops in Canadian agriculture Dr Renald Ayotte OAC 82 and a recent PhD graduate in Horticultural Science and his supervisors Professors Pat f lamey and Vince Souza-Machado OAC PhD 76 have filed a patent application for cole crops varieties that are resistant to the triazine fanli1y of herbicides

ormally these broad leaf plants are killed by triazine herbicides but the new plants have genetic traits that make them invulnerable to that common herbicide group Dr Ayotte says this research will find immediate application in the field

The secret is the development of a seed with triazine-resistant cytoplasm he says By cro sbreeding and backshycrossing cole crops with spring rapeshyseed (a Guelph-developed triazineshyresistant plant) the researchers created new plant bearing the nuclear genes of the cole crops and the ltylOplasmic genes of the rapeseed The result is a triazine-resistant cole crop

Breeding herbicide resistance into plants is a relatively new way of dealing with weeds in horticultural crops The traditional chemical approach has been [Q develop new compounds or extend the use of established herbicides to crops But because of the increasing costs of research and development the unshyattractive economics of herbicides for low-acreage crops and the strinshygent controls over registration standard few horticultural herbicides

Dr Renald Ayotte OAC 82

have been brought onstream It is these factors that led to this col crop project Dr Ayone says

The development of the traizineshyresistant plants could have a wideshy

spread effect on the production of cole crops which are gaining inshycreasing a c eptance by health shyconscious consumers Cauliflower sales in Canada for example have doubled over the last five years to about 824 million annuaUy

Controlling broadIeaf weed species like wild mustard and shepherds purse will not onJy reduce weed competi tion with the cole crop plants but eradicate al ternative hosts of pests and disease says Dr Ayotte And the mechanical harvesting of cole crops will be made easier by the absence of tall weeds which can clog harvesting equipment

In addition to eliminating the need fo r hand hoeing the plants will offer farmers new alternatives in crop selection says Dr Ayotte

Response by seed companies to the triazine resi tance has been good says Chris Ostrovski technology devel o pment offi cer Offi ce of Research He expects the plants (Q be popular with cole crop producers thro ughout North America and Europe as well as in China where cole crops are a staple of the diet

RESEARCH BOOSTED BY MINISTRY RELOCATION

~ricultural research at the Univershysity will benefit from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food (OMAF) decision to move its headshyquarters and over 500 staff from Toronto to Guelph

The ministrys relocation here signals and solidifies the Universitys position as the leading agricultural research institution in Canada says Dr Larry Milligan Dean of Research It is a major step toward our goal of establishing the niversity as a world centre for sustained agricultural research and technology transfer

The decision to relocate OMAF headquarters is consistent with the Ontario governments decentrali shy

zation program The announcement was part of the April 28 throne peech Relocation is expected to be complete by 1991

In 1987-88 OMAF will contribute over S31 million towards agricultural research education and services at the UniverSity This funding helps support 478 agricultural research proshyjects at OAC and OVe

No other university in Canada has the very special and entirely compleshymentary relationship with its primary external research funding source that Guelph shares with OMM says Dr Milligan With the relocation that rapport can onJy grow

OVC GRADUATE HELPS SLEEPING CHILDREN AROUND THE WORLD

Give a child a comfortable nights rest and it helps to take his mind off his hunger and conserve his energy for the demands of the next day

That s the philosophy behind Sleeping Children Around the World (SCAW) a registered Canadian charitshyable organization founded by Murray and the late Margaret Dryden parents of National Hockey League goalshytenders Dave and Ken It s an organishyzation that has given Dr Gordon S BroW11 OVC 45 of Harrow a very rewarding purpose in li fe since retirement

Gordon opened a veterinary pracshytice in Essex in 1946 and was joined 11 years later by Dr Douglas McKelvie OVC 47 The practice evolved into a busy one treating both large and small animals but a car accident in 1980 made it impossible for Gordon to continue with the large animal part He sold the practice and opened a small animal clinic in Kingsville which he operated until retiring in 1986

While on an Alaskan cruise in 1977 Gordon and his wife June met the Drydens who told them about SCAW

We were impressed with their compassion for the oppressed chilshydren in the Third World countries and their strong desire to help by supplying comfort reports Gordon

The Browns became close friends with the Drydens and began to support their precious project In 1982 Murray Dryden invited Gordon to join him in distributing bed-kits in the Third World Each kit consists of a groundsheet mattress shee ts bl anket pillow and pillow case pajamas clothing and sometimes mosquito netting

SCAW is supported by private donashytion Every dollar donated is used to provide the bed-kits nothing is siphoned off for administration or travel expenses The money is sent to existing organizations in Third World countries like Rotary Kiwanis the Salvation Army Canadian Jesuits and

Dr Gordon S Brown OVC 45 and his wife June

Pentecostal missionaries It is their responsibility to purchase materials and have the ki ts made up

When I saw first -hand the tremen shydous need and joy upon receiving the bed-kits on that first trip [ had to continue and make this project a part of my life says Gordon He has now made four trips at his 0W11 expense iOlO India and the Hin1alayas Pakistan Bangladesh Sri Lanka Thailand and the Philippines On the last two trips his wife has accompanied him and become equally enthusiastic They make the trips to witness the distrishy

bution of the ki ts and take photos of the children holding the kits and labels with the donors names on them These photos are then sent to the donors as proof that the kits are being received

Each trip takes the Browns away from their home six to seven weeks in February and March This year 12000 bed-kits will be distributed

A 1985 SCAW newsletter reports on one distribution scene In Sri Lanka the Inner Wheel (Wives of Rotarians ) intricately planned a week of d istributions in 13 d ifferent locations One was a refugee camp where a few hundred people driven out of the northern part of the island by the Tamils had taken refuge in a Catholic Church Theywere sleeping on the cement floor inety of these fami lies had witnessed their husbands and fathers lined up and shot A water tnIck came in once a day as well as a food truck We had only 100 kits for this great need Our hearts really wenl out to these people

The Browns are plCltLied to describe their SCAW trips to large or small groups Thcy may be contacted at Box 1 Blue Water Beach RR 1 Harrow Ontario NOR IGO ( 519 ) 738-6587

RADIATION EQUIPMENT FURTHERS CANCER RESEARCH

A donation of orthovoltage and cobalt radiation equipment from Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto will enable OVC to establish a radioshytherapy unit in its small animal clinic by the end of the year The gift of the used equipment will cut the estimated $250000 cost of the unit by ahout half Funds are being sought from alumni and other sources for site development of the unit

The hospital learned ofoves need for a unit while involved in joint research on the radiation treatment of dogs with lymphoma cancer in 1983 Princess Margaret researchers developed a way to preserve bone marrow while irradiating the entire body The new treatment had exeelshy

lent potential to extend remission limes in patienrs Because canine and human lymphomas arc s imilar Princess Margaret officials asked ave to carry out research on dogs using the hospitals facilities

OVC researchers treated 14 dogs with lymphoma In II of those the tumors decreased significantly in size and did not reappear in some cases until SlX months later Without treat shyment veterinarians expected the dogs had about a month to live TIle results were encouraging although not at all conclusive because of the small number of research subjects

The project stopped in 1985 pri shymarily because of staffing and space

constraints at Princess Margaret When the new radiotherapy unit is in place veterinarians wi ll resume research to find ways of increasing the duration of the effectiveness of radiation treatment Princeslt Margaret rtsearchers will explore human applications

The research could lead to work in other cancers that act similarly in dogs and humans such as osteoshysarcoma the disease suffered by Terry Fox

NEW DEPARTMENT TO FOCUS ON HEALTH OF GROUPS

A new department of population medicine at ove is focusing on tbe health of groups of animals rathe r than individuals particularly on-farm species

The department draws personnel from the departments of Clinical Studies and Veterinary Microbiology and Immunology

OVC Dean Ole Nielsen says its important for the College to have a department whose basic philosophy is concerned with the health of the group rather than the individual Its particularly important for the agri shyculnlre industry because modern food

production tends to work with large groups

Population medicine is the study of the frequency distribution and cost of disease and the inter-relationships among disease managemem enshyvironment and productivity It also involves applied strategies for health management and the prevention and control of disease

Dr ielsen says population medishyc ine is in line with the new health maintenance orientation of courses in OVCs new curriculum and it capitalizes on many ofOllr streng[hs It is also in Line with the needs of

vcterinary medicine in the future he says

As we move to larger and more complex farming operations and the economic crunch worsens there will be more emphaSiS on effiCiency and cost-effectiveness he says Population medicine is concerned with the disshytribution causes and costs of disease in animals There is emphasis on numeracy using quantitative data to measure the cost benefits of health care

Dr Nielsen says the new department will put ove in the forefront in thc modern approach to health maintenshyance in food-pn ducing animals

Dve BRIEFLY

Ove has launched a new fundshyraising p roject called Pet Trust The object is to raise money for research into problems and diseases affecting small or companion animals to further work already proceeding in such areas as oncology ophthalmology orthoshypedics reconsrmctive surgery organ dysfunction lOaesthesia infectious diseases animal behavior and human animal bonding and to provide fu nds for fellowships

Kits containing information about the program have been sent out to every veterinary practice in Ontario and response has been heartening

A Board of Tmstees will approve research projects and grants establish policy and generally promote the Pet Trust Annual reports will also be issued

DOES P EQUAL NP By Mary Dickieson

Pub lic Relations and Informa tion

One of the most perplexing proshyblems in computer science may have been solved by Professor Ted Swan who has a joint appointment in the departments of Mathematics and Statistics and Computing and Inforshymation Science He has written a paper offering proof that P=NP To the layman th is means that we will now be able to solve problems that we formerly thought we could not he says

Professor Bill Smith chair of the Department of Mathematics and Statisshytics says that if Dr Swarts results are verified they will really be quite earth-shattering and exceptional shyof far -reaching significance in mathematics

Dr Swart cautions that the jury is stili ou t on whether his approach will be proved or disproved by his peers but already his pronouncement has caused a stir in the computer world The findings are of considerable interest to everyone working in this area says Professor Smith and they are an important contribution to the problem whether or not they are eventually accepted as stated

Dr Swart says his results are bound to be met by a great deal of proshyfessional suspicion because they are contrary to the prevailing thought Most people think that P does not equal P

Although the results are still theoreshytical Professor Smith and Dr Swart agree they could have a number of practical applications Industry commerce finance and most other sectors of society that use computers could benefit from Dr Swart s adshyvancement of one of the ftmdamental aspects of computer science the use of algorithms

People solve problems on comshyputers by using precisely defined sets of steps called algOrithms says Dr_ Swart Of the two classes ofcomputer problems class P refers to those for which good polynomial time

algorithms exist enabling them to be solved effiCiently on a computer Dr Swart cites the example of the minishymal connector problem which asks for a scheme to cormect a group of cities by telephone wires in such a way that the amount of wire used is minima l Good algori thms allow this problem to be solved easily regardshyless of the number ofcities involved he says

Computer problems in the second class - NP - are considered hard to solve_Large problems in this cateshygory cannot be solved on even the most powerful computers in the world because there are no algorithms that allow solution of the problem without escalating the number of calculations to a level beyond the capacity of computers Dr Swart says there are at least 1 000 known examples of proshyblems in this class of which the travelling salesman problem is one of the best known Even for a relatively small group of cities such as the 50 US capitals there has been no solushytion to the problem of devising a route that will enable a salesman to visit each ci ty only once while trashyvelling a mininlal distance

My results say these two classes of problems are equal and that there do exist good algorithms for solving this type of computer problem he says

To prove his results Dr Swarts paper cites a similar problem the Hamilton circuit which is illustrated by asking the question Can you visit each of several cities in succession Without backtracking

Dr Swarts problem establishes that the Hamilton circuit problem can be solved in polynomial time by conshyverting a mathematical programming formulation of the problem into a linear programming formulation and using existing polynomial ti me algorithms as established by Kachiyan and Kannarkar

The Significant feature of these results is that they will enable comshyputers to tackle larger problems with more unknowns and get the results more quickly

COMPUTER SCIENCE PROGRAM APPEALS TO STUDENTS

Guelphs new masters program in computer science which enrolled its fi rst students last September aims to move advanced information techshynology out of the research laboratory and into practical application says co-ordinator Professor Tom Wi on It combines graduate courses in the latest research developments with an applied thesis

Because there are only 13 students each has what can be called a tailorshymade program says Professor Wilson The Department of Computing and Information Science plans to accept another seven students this September and expects enrolment to grow to 30 with in the next few years - deshypending on the availability of faculty and space Even with that number the program will be smaller than others in the province so the level of personal contact and flexibil ity will remain high

Students in the program are often involved in problems that are of interest to other departments About two-thirds of the students are Guelph graduates - many with double degrees

TI1e undergraduate backgrounds of the students range from medicinal chemistry to philosophy and their research interests are just as varied as the following profiles indicate

RETIRING PROFESSOR HONORED

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry hosted a symposium in the spring on the molecular mechanshyisms underlying vertebrate visual transduction The symposium honored Professor Bill Abrahamson who retired May 1 It provided a review of current approaches to a field in which Professor AbJhamson s

communication He is developing softshyware that will allow dolphin comshymunication researchers at the nivershysity of Hawaii to extract information from a database using a natural language such as English rather than a computer language This would free them from having to learn comshyplex computer skills

Karl whose thesis adviser is Proshyfessor Mary Mcleish travelled to Hawaii in April to install a natural language processing system at the Kewalo Basin Marine Mammal laborashytory and to become more fami liar with the computers available there A graduate of Gue lph s computer science program Karl at 0 has an undergraduate degree in medicinal chemistry from Concordia University and has done graduate work in neuroshyscience at McMaster Medical Centre

Howard Pel ls special interest is fibre optics and their use in wide-area communication networks sing light instead of electricity offers amazing capabilities he says because teleshyphone television and computer data can be transmitted over a single piece of pi astie

Howard who is working under Professor Wilson has a joint BA C86) from Guelph in computer science and philosophy The undershygraouate program in computer science focused more on software says Howard but his preference is hardware The master s program allows him to devote his time to this first love

contributions are widely appreciated Speakers included Dr Barry Honig

Dr John Powell who retired as professor of Human Kinetics in 1984 received the niversitys Medal of Merit at spring convocation in recognishytion not only of his important contrishybutions to establishing the study of human structure and function at the University but also in appreciation of his dedication to the physical wellshybeing of mankind

During 20 years of service to the niversity Dr Powell served two

terms as Director of the School of Human Biology and Chairman of the Department of Human Kinetics Through his guidance the Department ofHuman Kintlics was established as part of the new College of Biological Science in 1971 and after retiring he received the College s first Merishytorious Service Medal

With the untimely death of Walter Vaughan in late 1983 the call came from the Presidents office to fill Secretary of Senate Dr Powell plugged the gap for seven months fulfilling his goal to serve at the University as well as the College and departrnentallevels

In 1983 the Faculty Association presented Dr Powell with the first University of Guelph Special Merit Award in recognition of teaching excellence curriculum development and dedication to his students

Included among Dr Powells achishyevements is the initiation of the Human Kinetics Student Symposium in 1971 This undertaking has become a popular annual campus event

Dr Powell served as Honorary Preshysident of the Human Kinetics Alumni Association from 1971 -83 and served as editor of both the Bio-Sci News in the Guelph Alumnus and the Human Kinetics Newsletter The Human Kinetics Alumn i Association has honored him with a scholarship in his nanle

When he arrived at Guelph in 1965 Dr Powell initiated and for five days a week still leads the CardioshyVascular Club This club has brought a genuine enjoyment of exercise into

the lives ofDr Powells many disciples In 1983 a film featuring the CardioshyVascular Club funded by the Univershysity of Guelph Alumni Association won acdaim from the Czechoslovashykian government The film was later shown in Budapest at the request of the Hungarian government Dr Powell was honored by Premier WilIian1 Davis in 1985 for his specific conshytrihution to cardiov-Scular rehabilishytation

For 15 years Or Powell has been a member of the I nternational Olympic Academy an institution that develops the theory ethics and procedures for the Olympic Games His contribution to the Academy was recognized by the He llenic Olympic Committee when it conferred upon him the prestigious rank of Collaborator and awarded him a silver medallion_ He also received one of two silver commemorative medals presented to Canadians in 1986 for devoted work to the youth of the world through the International Olympic Academy since 1972

Dr Powell has come up with a definition for the word Olympism wh ich has been officially accepted by the Canadian Olympic Association

PROFESSOR EMERITUS

PrOfessor emeritus status was bestowed on Professor John George Department of Zoology at spring convocation

Born and educated in India Proshyfessor George joined the University of Baroda in 1950 as the first head of its zoology department and over the next decade developed one of the leading zoology departments in India He came to Guelph as professor of zoology in 1967 a pOSition he held until his retirement in 1986

Twice a Fulbright FeUow Professor George has been an invited speaker at

Dr john Powel~ Left receives MedaL afMeritfrom Chancelor William A StfnVart at spring convocation

The word was first used in 1896 and continued to be used but had never been defined middotThe definition states that olympism is a harmony of ideas and ideals that affinn the value of Olympic sport in promoting and developing physical and moral quali shyties in individuals and in contributing to a better and more peaceful world by enabling nations to meet in an atmosphere of mutual respect and international amity

One word that Dr Powell hasnt come up with a definition for is retirement A self-proclaimed people person he continues to remain active on campus through the Human Kinetics Symposia and the Cardio-Vascular eurolub and also conshyducts back rehabilitation clinics through Medical Services As long as people need him he will have contrishybutions to make Im a very thankful man he says

PROFESSOR RETIRES

Drw George Barker was honored on his retirement recently at a dinner and reception hosted by the Departshyment of Botany Dr Barkers career in plant science includes two periods at the University of Guelph From 1972 to 1983 he was chair of the Depart shyment of Botany and Genetics in the newly-formed College of Biological Science and was instrumental in guiding the department into new strengths in Botany Ecology and Genetics The emerging Genetics section became the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics in 1983

Dr Barker a native of Stratford served in Europe during World War II as a captain in the Provost Company of the Canadian Army On his return he earned his BSe (1947 ) and MSc ( 1949 ) at the University of Western Ontario His masters thesis was con shycerned with the effect of ethyl carbashymate on mitotic activity in plants This biologically-active compound recently made headlines as a contashyminant of certain wines

In 1953 Dr Barker received his PhD from the University ofMichigan for h is thesis on the proliferation of bass wood taken from 50-year-old trunk tissue demonstrating that these cells retained full developmental capashycity From this time on Dr Barker has maintained an interest in plant tissue culture

From 1952-54Dr Barker was assisshytant professor in the Department of Botany ( then OAC) During this period he perfected the technique of produci ng tubers in vitro This approach remains a cornerstone of modem biotechnology with potatoes

From 1955 to 1960 Dr Barker worked with the United Fmit Comshypany in Costa Rica Honduras and at Cornell developing practical methods of banana propagation still in wideshyspread use and carrying out basic studies on morphology and anatomy He became co-ordinator of research on lowbush blueberries at the Agri shyc ultural Rese a r c h Stat ion in Frederic ton and in 1964 w as appointed Director of the Biological Teaching Unit University of Manitoba

Dr W George Barker

When Dr Barker returned to Guelph in 1972 he llsed his long shyestablished experience in basic and applied research and teaching to build a new department in a new College He leaves behind a strong teaching department which also has an estab shyli shed in ternational research reputalion

Dr Keith Ronald director of the Arboretum and former dean of CBS announced that a Scotch pine in the Arboretum had been dedicated in honor of Dr Barkers contribution to all aipects ofUniversity life Dr Bruce Sells dean of CBS emphasized Dr Barkers pivotaJ role in initiating strong programs in three areas of biological science and presented him with a chair on behalf of the College Dr ] Derek Bewley present chair of Botany thanked Dr Barker for his help and guidance and presented a VCR from the 100 alumni students staff and faculty members in attendance at the dinner

INDUSTRY TASK FORCE REVIEWS IFM PROGRAM

A task force representing senior levels of the dietetic profession and institutional foodservice management met on campus earlier this year to advise the School of Hotel and Food Administration ( HAFA ) about the development of its Institutional Foodshyservice Management Program ( IFM ) The task force convened by FACS Dean Richard Barham is part ofHAFAs review of the IFM program one of two majors offered in the Bachelor of Commerce honors program

Included on the task force are the preside n t and executive vic e shypresident of Canadas two largest institutional foodservice management firms as well as the vice-president of the countrys largest nursing home chain

Discussion focused on intermediate and long-term plans of HAFA faculty The task force supports curriculum revisions designed to strengthen the nutrit ion and b iological science components of the IFM major The program prepares graduates for intern shyships as adn inistrative dietitians although some graduates choose to follow careers in institutional food middot service outside dietetics

The task force al so support s graduate training in administration for dietetic professionals There is a need for such a progran1 among therashypeutic dietitians seeking to shift their field of practice [Q administration and among administrative dietitians who wish to improve their qualifi shycations The task force also feels that a masters degree would be an appro shypriate alternat ive to a dietetic internship

The task force discussed the need for programs of continuing pro shyfessional education It supports proposals to develop more courses in continuing education as it relates [Q

CSS GRAD AIMS FOR OLYMPIC GOLD Andre Bordeleau C5S 79 MA 85 is determined to earn an Olympic gold medal in running game target shooting - no matter how long it takes

It may take a long time Im a late bloomer but I figure I have another 20 years to try Age is not a big problem in my sport and at least J didnt have to sacrifice my childhood to get where I am today says the 30-yearmiddotold political science graduate

Running game target requires the shooter using a 22-caJibre rifle to hit a wild pig moving on a 10-metre rail at 72 mph 144 mph or mixed speed middot from a distance of 50 metres There are many different versions of the sport but the Olympic discipline consists of 30 shots at the slower speed (slow runs ) and 30 at the faster speed ( fast runs)

Andre Bordeleau CSS 79 MA 85 is aimingfor O~yrnpic gold in running game target shooting

The CSSAlumniAssociation cut a cake during Alumni Weekend to celebrate its 10th anniversary Taking part were lef t to right Sandra Couch and Barbara Chance board directorsjohn Aviano newpresident and his wife Inara and facui~y advisor Victor Ujim

Andre became captivated by the sport of shooting when he had a job as an offi cial d river at the L976 Olympics in Montreal

Like most French-Canadian boys I wanted to p lay hockey for the Montreal Canadiens I have the size - 6-feet-l and 215 pounds - bUl there is a problem I cant skate Something to do with small curvatures in my spine nothing serious but enough to throw out my balance So since I couldnt be a professional hockey player I decided to become an Olympic amateur athlete

In pursuit of his goal Andre left his home in Montreal to study at the

niversity of Guelph in 1976 I wanted to srudy some place like Ontario where I could become bishylingual and Guelph was one of only three universities in the province with a rifle range he explains The University of Guelph Rifle Team won three Ontario championships from 1979-81

Andre started out on the Universitys rifle team shooting at stationary tarmiddot gets bu t decided to concentrate on running gan1e because it is more suited to his hyperactive personality He went to the Canadian championships in 1977 and placed ninth At a national competition in 1981 he set two Canadian records one of which stood for three years In 1984 he won the provincial championships and set a provincial record which still stands Also in 1984 he was invited to the Olympic trials and despite sustaining a concussion in a car accident on the first day of shooting he placed third Unfortunately only the first and second place winners qualified for the Olympics

In 1986 Andre went to his first international match the World Championships in East Gemlany He shot below his average and placed 46th in the 10 metre air rifle event an indoor scaled-down version ofmnning game target

1 was disappointed but I learned a lot Before I went [wasnt ranked in

24

the world at all At least now Im ranked he says

Undaunted he is currently training for the 1988 Olympics with national running game target team coach Dick Esseltine of Peterborough and he tries to practise at the Guelph rifle range eve1 day

Running game target shooting re shyquires concentration physica l stamina eye-band co-ordination and balance But staying in financial shape is a bigger challenge for Andre than staying physically fit Unable to find a job relating to his degrees he works as a night supervisor at Stonehenge a drug rehabilitation ce ntre near Guelph While he meets his liing expenses he is struggling to pay back stude nt loans and keep up with expenses incurred as an amateur athlete

Although he estimates he has dug a 860000 hole since making the move to Guelph and devoting himself to shootinghe has no regrets He says Guelph has been a good experience culturally and linguistically He views it as the place where he started a rich amateur career and as he plods on toward Olympic gold he takes satisshyfaction in his many smaller accomshyplishments

I believe in pursuing excellence Ive set the ultimate goal ( OLympic gold) and Im going to do my best to achieve it

INDUSTRIAL ORGAN IZA TIONAL

PSYCHOLOGY MEETS GROWING DEMAND

Ahigh demand for industrial psychoshylogists in Canada has led the Departshyment of Psychology to introduce a new graduate option

I ndllstriallOrganizaliorudPsychoshylogy is being added to the masters program for specialized training which could lead to work in personncl management job dcsign and analysis organizational consulting or health and safety in the workplace

The demand for industriaL PSTchoshylogists has been brought about by rapidly changing technology business growth and legislation in the areas of workplace safety human rights equal pay amI equal employment opportuni shyties Because there are few structured graduate programs in Canada to meet this need industrial psychologists have receiytd their training in the US Othe rs have trained themselves on the job

Steven Cranshaw who earned his PhD in industrial organizational

psychology at the University ofAkron is developing the new program at Guelph He was formerly at thc Univershysity of Waterloo and is currently chairman of the industrialorganizashytional section of the Canadian Psychoshylogical Association

The department is also pursuing a joint PhD program in industrial organizational psychology with the University of Waterloo It will offer training to the highest professionaJ standards in orth America

Dr Cranshawsays a 198687 survey done by Canada Employment and Immigration lists industrial organil3shytional psychology as an area of high job demand in the near future As graduates of the Guelph program become finnly established in the work force it will become readily apparent that this University is pLaying a major ro le in improving the quality of working life

WHATS NEW IN THE DEPARTMENTS POLITICAL STUDIES In September the department will introduce a dis shytance education diploma program in Public Policy and Administrat ion taught by Professor Richard Phidd The comprehensive program conshysisting of 10 courses at the undershygraduate level will provide an inte llectuaJ component to the workshyplace experiences of profeSSionals Distance education makes the depart shyments programs and courses more widely available to people in the work force ECONOMICS Professor Louis

Christofides is the new department chairman A major change which will take place LInder his direction is the establishment of a PhD program in resource and environmental econo shymics Professor Christofidcs aJso plans to oversee a review of the undershygraduate program He says the review will determine whether an approshypriate core course sequence is in place and whether the curriculum can be improved More spacc and the recmitment of quality facu lty and graduate students are also among his goals

GEOGRAPHY The birth ofProfessor Barry Smits daughter March 3 had some frantic moments Hanna was born in the family car as the harried father-to-be sped through the night to Guelph General Hospital She was dubbed Speedy Smit by the hospital staff and is a sister for two-year-old Emily Mother Ruth Ann and the baby came through the experience none the worse for wear but Professor Smit m ust have been glad to get back to the old routine of classes and lectures At least theyre fairly predictable

Alumn i House was a central gathering place during Alumni Weekshyend and will serve the san1e role during future Alumni Weekends but its benefits go far beyond the social scene said Ross The build ing will be a meeting place for the UGAA college alumni associations individual classes and interest groups such as Alumnishyin-Action

The Department of Alumni Affairs and Development reunited staff from three separate buildings on campus when it moved into Alumni House May 4

CLASS AGENTS RECEPTION

The fi rst annual class agents recepshytion on May 21 hosted by President Burt Matthews was also the first official function for alumni in the newly renovated Alumni House

THE CAMPAIGN GETS $16 MILLION BOOST FROM PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT

Guc1phs capital campaign got a $16 million boost from the Ontario Ministry of Colleges and niversities ( MCU) May 25 to bring the end-ofshyMay campaign total to 548956170 Eighty-one per cent ofthe S60 million objective has been met in the first nine months of the five-year campaign

I am absolutely delighted to have reached this milestone this early in The Campaign says Marjorie Millar director Alumni Affairs and Developshyment Bur it is still a five -year campaign We will have to overshoot our target by a least 10 per cent to adequately fund the building projects

The MCUs commitment announshyced in simultaneous news conferences in Toronto and Guelph will cover two-thirds of the cost of a new 524 shymillion environmental biology horti shycultural science building on campus The remaining S8 million will come from other contributions to The Campaign

Rick Ferraro Arts 7 I MPP Jor Wellington South announcedMeUs gift oJ $16 million at a [n-ess conJershyence in Guelph May 25 He is seen here at the press conJerence with OAC Dean Freeman McEwen (left) andPresident Burt Matthews ( right)

Greg Sorbara Minister of Colleges and Universities says the building project reflects government recogni shytion that the revitalization of agri shy

culture and the protection of the environment are two of the most important challenges facing Ontario and Canada

Guelphs department of Horticulshytural Science is the only one of its kind at an Ontario university and the only one in Canada offering a doctoral program The department ofEnvironshymental Biology is the only such department in North America

niversity President Burt Matthews described the funding news as a godsend Although these two departments are leaders in leaching research and development he says they have had difficulties in meeting their obligations due to outdated and inadequate facilities

The proposed site for the new building is adjacent to Graham Hall President Matthews says the pwject shouLd go to tender in January 1989 Construction is expected to take about two years

IVAN TAYLOR A FRIEND TO STUDENTS AND HORSES

Duringhis 39 years ar the University Ivan Taylor attended the births of more than 300 foals So it was not surprising thal he had a connection with one of the Percherons used in the ground breaking ceremony which marked the start of construction of the Equine Research Centre this spring Ivan was present at the birth of the Percherons mother Duchess bred at OAC

Hes likely forgotten more about horses than the rest of us could ever hope ro learn in the first place an onlooker at the ceremony was overshyheard to say about Ivan

The onlooker could have been any one of hundreds of students Ivan trained to show and care for horses over the years

He had an interest in people as well as horses and whenever a student needed help he was there He was practical dependable conscientious and extremely knowledgeable about horses His equine talents were outstanding says Bruce Stone OAC 53 MSA 54 Associate Dean ofOAC

Ivan first acquired a feel for horses as a youngster on his fathers farm When he began working at OAC in 1946 he was known as a teamster someone who drove teams of horses to do the tleld work There was only one tractor at the University so horseshypower got most of the work done Ivan recalls spending several hours a week cleaning and shining the brassshymounted harness worn by the horses at that time

When asked about his skill with horses Ivan modestly attributes it to the late Professor Orval Kennedy with whom he worked for many years

At first we had 80 ro 100 horses We used some for work and some to teach field husbandry We even used them to take students on sleigh rides We broke in a lot of colts he says

Ivan remembers in particular training six horse hitches to pur on displays at Farm and Home Week an

Ivan TaYD (above) attended the birth of this Percherons mother Duchess bred at OAC The horse was one of two owned by Cameron Shantz used for agrouncl-breaking ceremony Apnl29 to mark the start 0fconstruction ofthe Equine Research Centre

OAC eveOl which lasted until the mid sixries He says he always looked forward to helping students prepare and rrain their horses for College Royal as well

In the sixties the College began to dispense wirh heavy draught horses until eventually it just had some light horses Ivan finished out his niversity career apound manager of the bull tesring station at Arkell

Dr Claire Rennie OAC 47 assistant deputy minister OMAF says During my years in the Department of Animal and Poultry Science at the UniverSity I was thankful many times thar we had a person like Ivan responsible for specific operations at rhe Arkell Research Sration He managed the beef bull performance testing promiddot gram as though ir was his very own

Ivan retired in May 1986 He now works part-time in the wholesale business and sometimes judges horses at fall fairs

Dr Russ Willoughby OVC 57

director of the Equine Research Centre invited Ivan to participate in the ground breaking ceremony because he is a very fine man who has helped hundreds ofpeople at this

niversity He was the key person looking after OLLr horses for many years

Ivan says It was a nice honor to be there

DONATE TO PATIO

SOIL EROSION GETS SPECIAL ATTENTION

T he new Centre for Soil and Water Conservation will provide a focal point for research on the degradation of soil and water resources says the Centres director Land Resource Science Professor Murray Miller OAC 53

Soil erosion costs Ontario farmers an estimated $68 million a year in nutriem and yield losses says Dr Miller [n 19S4 a Senate report on soil conservation described erosion as the most serious agricultural crisis in Canadas history and predicted the loss of a major portion of Canadas agricultural capability ifprompt action were not taken

The loss of productive topsoil is not the only problem Soil erosion is the cause of major pollution of Ontarios Great Lakes Runoff from farm land is the source of about twoshythirds of the phosphorus that is desshytroying marine life in Lake Erie Dr Miller says

The problem has become so serious that the federal government and province of Ontario have agreed to spend 830 million over tlve years to reduce phosphorus inputs to the lakes And the Omario Ministry of Agriculshyntre and Food has established a soiJ

TURFGRASS INSTITUTE The University will become a centre of Canadian turfgrass research edushycation and extension now that Senate has given the go-ahead to establish a Guelph Turfgrass Institute (GTI)

Sponsored by the Ontario Ministry ofAgriculrure and Food the niversity and the turfgrass industry GTI - the first centre of its kind in Canada shywill be housed in a new building on Stone Road

GTI will support a provincial turfshygrass industry valued at more than 240 million It will create a favorable

environment for research in turfgrass science an extension program and courses and seminars in ntrfgrass

Dr Murray Miller OAC 53

and water management branch to put greater emphasis on this area

There is a serious need for research on soil and water conservation says Dr Miller and Guelph will be much better able to meet that need with a co-ordlnated program on campus

About 25 tlculty members in various disciplines at the University have expershytise in soil and water conservation Dr Miller expects the Centre to increase the visibility and accessibility of Guelphs expertise allowing Guelph to assist government industry and other groups with soil and water conservation problems

One of the Centres first contracts is with Agriculture Canadas Soil and Water Environmental Enhancement Program to prepare an in-depth background report on soil and water conservation in southwestern Ontario

production and management at the associate diploma undergraduate and graduate levels

Turfgrass research has gone on well here since its beginnings back in the 1940s says Professor Lee Burpee Environmental Biology who has been working with colleagues for two years to establish a lurfgrass institute GTI would put us all together encourage diSCUSSion help morale and give us and the ulrfgrass industry more visishybiliry Six faculry in three departments are involved in turfgrass research In 1985 S6 the UniversityS turfgrass scientists spent more than SOO hours on extension activities

HORTICULTURALISTS FILE PATENT APPLICATION FOR TRIAZINEmiddotRESISTANT CROPS

By Owen Roberts O ffice of Research

One of the few places where farmers still have to hack at weeds with a hand hoe is among their rows ofbroccoIi cabbage cauliflower and Brussels sprouts - the cole crops Few effective herbicides exist for these crops The need for manual labor has kept the hoe busy but slowed the development of a Canadian cole crop industry

A breakthrough at the University however could not only make hand hoeing a chore of the past but heighten the importance of cole crops in Canadian agriculture Dr Renald Ayotte OAC 82 and a recent PhD graduate in Horticultural Science and his supervisors Professors Pat f lamey and Vince Souza-Machado OAC PhD 76 have filed a patent application for cole crops varieties that are resistant to the triazine fanli1y of herbicides

ormally these broad leaf plants are killed by triazine herbicides but the new plants have genetic traits that make them invulnerable to that common herbicide group Dr Ayotte says this research will find immediate application in the field

The secret is the development of a seed with triazine-resistant cytoplasm he says By cro sbreeding and backshycrossing cole crops with spring rapeshyseed (a Guelph-developed triazineshyresistant plant) the researchers created new plant bearing the nuclear genes of the cole crops and the ltylOplasmic genes of the rapeseed The result is a triazine-resistant cole crop

Breeding herbicide resistance into plants is a relatively new way of dealing with weeds in horticultural crops The traditional chemical approach has been [Q develop new compounds or extend the use of established herbicides to crops But because of the increasing costs of research and development the unshyattractive economics of herbicides for low-acreage crops and the strinshygent controls over registration standard few horticultural herbicides

Dr Renald Ayotte OAC 82

have been brought onstream It is these factors that led to this col crop project Dr Ayone says

The development of the traizineshyresistant plants could have a wideshy

spread effect on the production of cole crops which are gaining inshycreasing a c eptance by health shyconscious consumers Cauliflower sales in Canada for example have doubled over the last five years to about 824 million annuaUy

Controlling broadIeaf weed species like wild mustard and shepherds purse will not onJy reduce weed competi tion with the cole crop plants but eradicate al ternative hosts of pests and disease says Dr Ayotte And the mechanical harvesting of cole crops will be made easier by the absence of tall weeds which can clog harvesting equipment

In addition to eliminating the need fo r hand hoeing the plants will offer farmers new alternatives in crop selection says Dr Ayotte

Response by seed companies to the triazine resi tance has been good says Chris Ostrovski technology devel o pment offi cer Offi ce of Research He expects the plants (Q be popular with cole crop producers thro ughout North America and Europe as well as in China where cole crops are a staple of the diet

RESEARCH BOOSTED BY MINISTRY RELOCATION

~ricultural research at the Univershysity will benefit from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food (OMAF) decision to move its headshyquarters and over 500 staff from Toronto to Guelph

The ministrys relocation here signals and solidifies the Universitys position as the leading agricultural research institution in Canada says Dr Larry Milligan Dean of Research It is a major step toward our goal of establishing the niversity as a world centre for sustained agricultural research and technology transfer

The decision to relocate OMAF headquarters is consistent with the Ontario governments decentrali shy

zation program The announcement was part of the April 28 throne peech Relocation is expected to be complete by 1991

In 1987-88 OMAF will contribute over S31 million towards agricultural research education and services at the UniverSity This funding helps support 478 agricultural research proshyjects at OAC and OVe

No other university in Canada has the very special and entirely compleshymentary relationship with its primary external research funding source that Guelph shares with OMM says Dr Milligan With the relocation that rapport can onJy grow

OVC GRADUATE HELPS SLEEPING CHILDREN AROUND THE WORLD

Give a child a comfortable nights rest and it helps to take his mind off his hunger and conserve his energy for the demands of the next day

That s the philosophy behind Sleeping Children Around the World (SCAW) a registered Canadian charitshyable organization founded by Murray and the late Margaret Dryden parents of National Hockey League goalshytenders Dave and Ken It s an organishyzation that has given Dr Gordon S BroW11 OVC 45 of Harrow a very rewarding purpose in li fe since retirement

Gordon opened a veterinary pracshytice in Essex in 1946 and was joined 11 years later by Dr Douglas McKelvie OVC 47 The practice evolved into a busy one treating both large and small animals but a car accident in 1980 made it impossible for Gordon to continue with the large animal part He sold the practice and opened a small animal clinic in Kingsville which he operated until retiring in 1986

While on an Alaskan cruise in 1977 Gordon and his wife June met the Drydens who told them about SCAW

We were impressed with their compassion for the oppressed chilshydren in the Third World countries and their strong desire to help by supplying comfort reports Gordon

The Browns became close friends with the Drydens and began to support their precious project In 1982 Murray Dryden invited Gordon to join him in distributing bed-kits in the Third World Each kit consists of a groundsheet mattress shee ts bl anket pillow and pillow case pajamas clothing and sometimes mosquito netting

SCAW is supported by private donashytion Every dollar donated is used to provide the bed-kits nothing is siphoned off for administration or travel expenses The money is sent to existing organizations in Third World countries like Rotary Kiwanis the Salvation Army Canadian Jesuits and

Dr Gordon S Brown OVC 45 and his wife June

Pentecostal missionaries It is their responsibility to purchase materials and have the ki ts made up

When I saw first -hand the tremen shydous need and joy upon receiving the bed-kits on that first trip [ had to continue and make this project a part of my life says Gordon He has now made four trips at his 0W11 expense iOlO India and the Hin1alayas Pakistan Bangladesh Sri Lanka Thailand and the Philippines On the last two trips his wife has accompanied him and become equally enthusiastic They make the trips to witness the distrishy

bution of the ki ts and take photos of the children holding the kits and labels with the donors names on them These photos are then sent to the donors as proof that the kits are being received

Each trip takes the Browns away from their home six to seven weeks in February and March This year 12000 bed-kits will be distributed

A 1985 SCAW newsletter reports on one distribution scene In Sri Lanka the Inner Wheel (Wives of Rotarians ) intricately planned a week of d istributions in 13 d ifferent locations One was a refugee camp where a few hundred people driven out of the northern part of the island by the Tamils had taken refuge in a Catholic Church Theywere sleeping on the cement floor inety of these fami lies had witnessed their husbands and fathers lined up and shot A water tnIck came in once a day as well as a food truck We had only 100 kits for this great need Our hearts really wenl out to these people

RADIATION EQUIPMENT FURTHERS CANCER RESEARCH

A donation of orthovoltage and cobalt radiation equipment from Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto will enable OVC to establish a radioshytherapy unit in its small animal clinic by the end of the year The gift of the used equipment will cut the estimated $250000 cost of the unit by ahout half Funds are being sought from alumni and other sources for site development of the unit

The hospital learned ofoves need for a unit while involved in joint research on the radiation treatment of dogs with lymphoma cancer in 1983 Princess Margaret researchers developed a way to preserve bone marrow while irradiating the entire body The new treatment had exeelshy

lent potential to extend remission limes in patienrs Because canine and human lymphomas arc s imilar Princess Margaret officials asked ave to carry out research on dogs using the hospitals facilities

OVC researchers treated 14 dogs with lymphoma In II of those the tumors decreased significantly in size and did not reappear in some cases until SlX months later Without treat shyment veterinarians expected the dogs had about a month to live TIle results were encouraging although not at all conclusive because of the small number of research subjects

The project stopped in 1985 pri shymarily because of staffing and space

constraints at Princess Margaret When the new radiotherapy unit is in place veterinarians wi ll resume research to find ways of increasing the duration of the effectiveness of radiation treatment Princeslt Margaret rtsearchers will explore human applications

The research could lead to work in other cancers that act similarly in dogs and humans such as osteoshysarcoma the disease suffered by Terry Fox

NEW DEPARTMENT TO FOCUS ON HEALTH OF GROUPS

A new department of population medicine at ove is focusing on tbe health of groups of animals rathe r than individuals particularly on-farm species

The department draws personnel from the departments of Clinical Studies and Veterinary Microbiology and Immunology

OVC Dean Ole Nielsen says its important for the College to have a department whose basic philosophy is concerned with the health of the group rather than the individual Its particularly important for the agri shyculnlre industry because modern food

production tends to work with large groups

Population medicine is the study of the frequency distribution and cost of disease and the inter-relationships among disease managemem enshyvironment and productivity It also involves applied strategies for health management and the prevention and control of disease

Dr ielsen says population medishyc ine is in line with the new health maintenance orientation of courses in OVCs new curriculum and it capitalizes on many ofOllr streng[hs It is also in Line with the needs of

vcterinary medicine in the future he says

As we move to larger and more complex farming operations and the economic crunch worsens there will be more emphaSiS on effiCiency and cost-effectiveness he says Population medicine is concerned with the disshytribution causes and costs of disease in animals There is emphasis on numeracy using quantitative data to measure the cost benefits of health care

Dr Nielsen says the new department will put ove in the forefront in thc modern approach to health maintenshyance in food-pn ducing animals

Dve BRIEFLY

Ove has launched a new fundshyraising p roject called Pet Trust The object is to raise money for research into problems and diseases affecting small or companion animals to further work already proceeding in such areas as oncology ophthalmology orthoshypedics reconsrmctive surgery organ dysfunction lOaesthesia infectious diseases animal behavior and human animal bonding and to provide fu nds for fellowships

Kits containing information about the program have been sent out to every veterinary practice in Ontario and response has been heartening

A Board of Tmstees will approve research projects and grants establish policy and generally promote the Pet Trust Annual reports will also be issued

DOES P EQUAL NP By Mary Dickieson

Pub lic Relations and Informa tion

One of the most perplexing proshyblems in computer science may have been solved by Professor Ted Swan who has a joint appointment in the departments of Mathematics and Statistics and Computing and Inforshymation Science He has written a paper offering proof that P=NP To the layman th is means that we will now be able to solve problems that we formerly thought we could not he says

Professor Bill Smith chair of the Department of Mathematics and Statisshytics says that if Dr Swarts results are verified they will really be quite earth-shattering and exceptional shyof far -reaching significance in mathematics

Dr Swart cautions that the jury is stili ou t on whether his approach will be proved or disproved by his peers but already his pronouncement has caused a stir in the computer world The findings are of considerable interest to everyone working in this area says Professor Smith and they are an important contribution to the problem whether or not they are eventually accepted as stated

Dr Swart says his results are bound to be met by a great deal of proshyfessional suspicion because they are contrary to the prevailing thought Most people think that P does not equal P

Although the results are still theoreshytical Professor Smith and Dr Swart agree they could have a number of practical applications Industry commerce finance and most other sectors of society that use computers could benefit from Dr Swart s adshyvancement of one of the ftmdamental aspects of computer science the use of algorithms

People solve problems on comshyputers by using precisely defined sets of steps called algOrithms says Dr_ Swart Of the two classes ofcomputer problems class P refers to those for which good polynomial time

algorithms exist enabling them to be solved effiCiently on a computer Dr Swart cites the example of the minishymal connector problem which asks for a scheme to cormect a group of cities by telephone wires in such a way that the amount of wire used is minima l Good algori thms allow this problem to be solved easily regardshyless of the number ofcities involved he says

Computer problems in the second class - NP - are considered hard to solve_Large problems in this cateshygory cannot be solved on even the most powerful computers in the world because there are no algorithms that allow solution of the problem without escalating the number of calculations to a level beyond the capacity of computers Dr Swart says there are at least 1 000 known examples of proshyblems in this class of which the travelling salesman problem is one of the best known Even for a relatively small group of cities such as the 50 US capitals there has been no solushytion to the problem of devising a route that will enable a salesman to visit each ci ty only once while trashyvelling a mininlal distance

My results say these two classes of problems are equal and that there do exist good algorithms for solving this type of computer problem he says

To prove his results Dr Swarts paper cites a similar problem the Hamilton circuit which is illustrated by asking the question Can you visit each of several cities in succession Without backtracking

Dr Swarts problem establishes that the Hamilton circuit problem can be solved in polynomial time by conshyverting a mathematical programming formulation of the problem into a linear programming formulation and using existing polynomial ti me algorithms as established by Kachiyan and Kannarkar

The Significant feature of these results is that they will enable comshyputers to tackle larger problems with more unknowns and get the results more quickly

COMPUTER SCIENCE PROGRAM APPEALS TO STUDENTS

Guelphs new masters program in computer science which enrolled its fi rst students last September aims to move advanced information techshynology out of the research laboratory and into practical application says co-ordinator Professor Tom Wi on It combines graduate courses in the latest research developments with an applied thesis

Because there are only 13 students each has what can be called a tailorshymade program says Professor Wilson The Department of Computing and Information Science plans to accept another seven students this September and expects enrolment to grow to 30 with in the next few years - deshypending on the availability of faculty and space Even with that number the program will be smaller than others in the province so the level of personal contact and flexibil ity will remain high

Students in the program are often involved in problems that are of interest to other departments About two-thirds of the students are Guelph graduates - many with double degrees

TI1e undergraduate backgrounds of the students range from medicinal chemistry to philosophy and their research interests are just as varied as the following profiles indicate

RETIRING PROFESSOR HONORED

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry hosted a symposium in the spring on the molecular mechanshyisms underlying vertebrate visual transduction The symposium honored Professor Bill Abrahamson who retired May 1 It provided a review of current approaches to a field in which Professor AbJhamson s

communication He is developing softshyware that will allow dolphin comshymunication researchers at the nivershysity of Hawaii to extract information from a database using a natural language such as English rather than a computer language This would free them from having to learn comshyplex computer skills

Karl whose thesis adviser is Proshyfessor Mary Mcleish travelled to Hawaii in April to install a natural language processing system at the Kewalo Basin Marine Mammal laborashytory and to become more fami liar with the computers available there A graduate of Gue lph s computer science program Karl at 0 has an undergraduate degree in medicinal chemistry from Concordia University and has done graduate work in neuroshyscience at McMaster Medical Centre

Howard Pel ls special interest is fibre optics and their use in wide-area communication networks sing light instead of electricity offers amazing capabilities he says because teleshyphone television and computer data can be transmitted over a single piece of pi astie

Howard who is working under Professor Wilson has a joint BA C86) from Guelph in computer science and philosophy The undershygraouate program in computer science focused more on software says Howard but his preference is hardware The master s program allows him to devote his time to this first love

contributions are widely appreciated Speakers included Dr Barry Honig

DR JOHN POWEll RECEIVES MEDAL OF MERIT

Dr John Powell who retired as professor of Human Kinetics in 1984 received the niversitys Medal of Merit at spring convocation in recognishytion not only of his important contrishybutions to establishing the study of human structure and function at the University but also in appreciation of his dedication to the physical wellshybeing of mankind

During 20 years of service to the niversity Dr Powell served two

terms as Director of the School of Human Biology and Chairman of the Department of Human Kinetics Through his guidance the Department ofHuman Kintlics was established as part of the new College of Biological Science in 1971 and after retiring he received the College s first Merishytorious Service Medal

With the untimely death of Walter Vaughan in late 1983 the call came from the Presidents office to fill Secretary of Senate Dr Powell plugged the gap for seven months fulfilling his goal to serve at the University as well as the College and departrnentallevels

In 1983 the Faculty Association presented Dr Powell with the first University of Guelph Special Merit Award in recognition of teaching excellence curriculum development and dedication to his students

Included among Dr Powells achishyevements is the initiation of the Human Kinetics Student Symposium in 1971 This undertaking has become a popular annual campus event

Dr Powell served as Honorary Preshysident of the Human Kinetics Alumni Association from 1971 -83 and served as editor of both the Bio-Sci News in the Guelph Alumnus and the Human Kinetics Newsletter The Human Kinetics Alumn i Association has honored him with a scholarship in his nanle

When he arrived at Guelph in 1965 Dr Powell initiated and for five days a week still leads the CardioshyVascular Club This club has brought a genuine enjoyment of exercise into

the lives ofDr Powells many disciples In 1983 a film featuring the CardioshyVascular Club funded by the Univershysity of Guelph Alumni Association won acdaim from the Czechoslovashykian government The film was later shown in Budapest at the request of the Hungarian government Dr Powell was honored by Premier WilIian1 Davis in 1985 for his specific conshytrihution to cardiov-Scular rehabilishytation

For 15 years Or Powell has been a member of the I nternational Olympic Academy an institution that develops the theory ethics and procedures for the Olympic Games His contribution to the Academy was recognized by the He llenic Olympic Committee when it conferred upon him the prestigious rank of Collaborator and awarded him a silver medallion_ He also received one of two silver commemorative medals presented to Canadians in 1986 for devoted work to the youth of the world through the International Olympic Academy since 1972

Dr Powell has come up with a definition for the word Olympism wh ich has been officially accepted by the Canadian Olympic Association

PROFESSOR EMERITUS

PrOfessor emeritus status was bestowed on Professor John George Department of Zoology at spring convocation

Born and educated in India Proshyfessor George joined the University of Baroda in 1950 as the first head of its zoology department and over the next decade developed one of the leading zoology departments in India He came to Guelph as professor of zoology in 1967 a pOSition he held until his retirement in 1986

Twice a Fulbright FeUow Professor George has been an invited speaker at

Dr john Powel~ Left receives MedaL afMeritfrom Chancelor William A StfnVart at spring convocation

The word was first used in 1896 and continued to be used but had never been defined middotThe definition states that olympism is a harmony of ideas and ideals that affinn the value of Olympic sport in promoting and developing physical and moral quali shyties in individuals and in contributing to a better and more peaceful world by enabling nations to meet in an atmosphere of mutual respect and international amity

One word that Dr Powell hasnt come up with a definition for is retirement A self-proclaimed people person he continues to remain active on campus through the Human Kinetics Symposia and the Cardio-Vascular eurolub and also conshyducts back rehabilitation clinics through Medical Services As long as people need him he will have contrishybutions to make Im a very thankful man he says

PROFESSOR RETIRES

Drw George Barker was honored on his retirement recently at a dinner and reception hosted by the Departshyment of Botany Dr Barkers career in plant science includes two periods at the University of Guelph From 1972 to 1983 he was chair of the Depart shyment of Botany and Genetics in the newly-formed College of Biological Science and was instrumental in guiding the department into new strengths in Botany Ecology and Genetics The emerging Genetics section became the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics in 1983

Dr Barker a native of Stratford served in Europe during World War II as a captain in the Provost Company of the Canadian Army On his return he earned his BSe (1947 ) and MSc ( 1949 ) at the University of Western Ontario His masters thesis was con shycerned with the effect of ethyl carbashymate on mitotic activity in plants This biologically-active compound recently made headlines as a contashyminant of certain wines

In 1953 Dr Barker received his PhD from the University ofMichigan for h is thesis on the proliferation of bass wood taken from 50-year-old trunk tissue demonstrating that these cells retained full developmental capashycity From this time on Dr Barker has maintained an interest in plant tissue culture

From 1952-54Dr Barker was assisshytant professor in the Department of Botany ( then OAC) During this period he perfected the technique of produci ng tubers in vitro This approach remains a cornerstone of modem biotechnology with potatoes

From 1955 to 1960 Dr Barker worked with the United Fmit Comshypany in Costa Rica Honduras and at Cornell developing practical methods of banana propagation still in wideshyspread use and carrying out basic studies on morphology and anatomy He became co-ordinator of research on lowbush blueberries at the Agri shyc ultural Rese a r c h Stat ion in Frederic ton and in 1964 w as appointed Director of the Biological Teaching Unit University of Manitoba

Dr W George Barker

When Dr Barker returned to Guelph in 1972 he llsed his long shyestablished experience in basic and applied research and teaching to build a new department in a new College He leaves behind a strong teaching department which also has an estab shyli shed in ternational research reputalion

Dr Keith Ronald director of the Arboretum and former dean of CBS announced that a Scotch pine in the Arboretum had been dedicated in honor of Dr Barkers contribution to all aipects ofUniversity life Dr Bruce Sells dean of CBS emphasized Dr Barkers pivotaJ role in initiating strong programs in three areas of biological science and presented him with a chair on behalf of the College Dr ] Derek Bewley present chair of Botany thanked Dr Barker for his help and guidance and presented a VCR from the 100 alumni students staff and faculty members in attendance at the dinner

INDUSTRY TASK FORCE REVIEWS IFM PROGRAM

A task force representing senior levels of the dietetic profession and institutional foodservice management met on campus earlier this year to advise the School of Hotel and Food Administration ( HAFA ) about the development of its Institutional Foodshyservice Management Program ( IFM ) The task force convened by FACS Dean Richard Barham is part ofHAFAs review of the IFM program one of two majors offered in the Bachelor of Commerce honors program

Included on the task force are the preside n t and executive vic e shypresident of Canadas two largest institutional foodservice management firms as well as the vice-president of the countrys largest nursing home chain

Discussion focused on intermediate and long-term plans of HAFA faculty The task force supports curriculum revisions designed to strengthen the nutrit ion and b iological science components of the IFM major The program prepares graduates for intern shyships as adn inistrative dietitians although some graduates choose to follow careers in institutional food middot service outside dietetics

The task force al so support s graduate training in administration for dietetic professionals There is a need for such a progran1 among therashypeutic dietitians seeking to shift their field of practice [Q administration and among administrative dietitians who wish to improve their qualifi shycations The task force also feels that a masters degree would be an appro shypriate alternat ive to a dietetic internship

CSS GRAD AIMS FOR OLYMPIC GOLD Andre Bordeleau C5S 79 MA 85 is determined to earn an Olympic gold medal in running game target shooting - no matter how long it takes

It may take a long time Im a late bloomer but I figure I have another 20 years to try Age is not a big problem in my sport and at least J didnt have to sacrifice my childhood to get where I am today says the 30-yearmiddotold political science graduate

Running game target requires the shooter using a 22-caJibre rifle to hit a wild pig moving on a 10-metre rail at 72 mph 144 mph or mixed speed middot from a distance of 50 metres There are many different versions of the sport but the Olympic discipline consists of 30 shots at the slower speed (slow runs ) and 30 at the faster speed ( fast runs)

Andre Bordeleau CSS 79 MA 85 is aimingfor O~yrnpic gold in running game target shooting

The CSSAlumniAssociation cut a cake during Alumni Weekend to celebrate its 10th anniversary Taking part were lef t to right Sandra Couch and Barbara Chance board directorsjohn Aviano newpresident and his wife Inara and facui~y advisor Victor Ujim

Andre became captivated by the sport of shooting when he had a job as an offi cial d river at the L976 Olympics in Montreal

Like most French-Canadian boys I wanted to p lay hockey for the Montreal Canadiens I have the size - 6-feet-l and 215 pounds - bUl there is a problem I cant skate Something to do with small curvatures in my spine nothing serious but enough to throw out my balance So since I couldnt be a professional hockey player I decided to become an Olympic amateur athlete

In pursuit of his goal Andre left his home in Montreal to study at the

niversity of Guelph in 1976 I wanted to srudy some place like Ontario where I could become bishylingual and Guelph was one of only three universities in the province with a rifle range he explains The University of Guelph Rifle Team won three Ontario championships from 1979-81

Andre started out on the Universitys rifle team shooting at stationary tarmiddot gets bu t decided to concentrate on running gan1e because it is more suited to his hyperactive personality He went to the Canadian championships in 1977 and placed ninth At a national competition in 1981 he set two Canadian records one of which stood for three years In 1984 he won the provincial championships and set a provincial record which still stands Also in 1984 he was invited to the Olympic trials and despite sustaining a concussion in a car accident on the first day of shooting he placed third Unfortunately only the first and second place winners qualified for the Olympics

In 1986 Andre went to his first international match the World Championships in East Gemlany He shot below his average and placed 46th in the 10 metre air rifle event an indoor scaled-down version ofmnning game target

1 was disappointed but I learned a lot Before I went [wasnt ranked in

24

the world at all At least now Im ranked he says

Undaunted he is currently training for the 1988 Olympics with national running game target team coach Dick Esseltine of Peterborough and he tries to practise at the Guelph rifle range eve1 day

Running game target shooting re shyquires concentration physica l stamina eye-band co-ordination and balance But staying in financial shape is a bigger challenge for Andre than staying physically fit Unable to find a job relating to his degrees he works as a night supervisor at Stonehenge a drug rehabilitation ce ntre near Guelph While he meets his liing expenses he is struggling to pay back stude nt loans and keep up with expenses incurred as an amateur athlete

Although he estimates he has dug a 860000 hole since making the move to Guelph and devoting himself to shootinghe has no regrets He says Guelph has been a good experience culturally and linguistically He views it as the place where he started a rich amateur career and as he plods on toward Olympic gold he takes satisshyfaction in his many smaller accomshyplishments

I believe in pursuing excellence Ive set the ultimate goal ( OLympic gold) and Im going to do my best to achieve it

INDUSTRIAL ORGAN IZA TIONAL

PSYCHOLOGY MEETS GROWING DEMAND

Ahigh demand for industrial psychoshylogists in Canada has led the Departshyment of Psychology to introduce a new graduate option

I ndllstriallOrganizaliorudPsychoshylogy is being added to the masters program for specialized training which could lead to work in personncl management job dcsign and analysis organizational consulting or health and safety in the workplace

The demand for industriaL PSTchoshylogists has been brought about by rapidly changing technology business growth and legislation in the areas of workplace safety human rights equal pay amI equal employment opportuni shyties Because there are few structured graduate programs in Canada to meet this need industrial psychologists have receiytd their training in the US Othe rs have trained themselves on the job

Steven Cranshaw who earned his PhD in industrial organizational

psychology at the University ofAkron is developing the new program at Guelph He was formerly at thc Univershysity of Waterloo and is currently chairman of the industrialorganizashytional section of the Canadian Psychoshylogical Association

The department is also pursuing a joint PhD program in industrial organizational psychology with the University of Waterloo It will offer training to the highest professionaJ standards in orth America

Dr Cranshawsays a 198687 survey done by Canada Employment and Immigration lists industrial organil3shytional psychology as an area of high job demand in the near future As graduates of the Guelph program become finnly established in the work force it will become readily apparent that this University is pLaying a major ro le in improving the quality of working life

WHATS NEW IN THE DEPARTMENTS POLITICAL STUDIES In September the department will introduce a dis shytance education diploma program in Public Policy and Administrat ion taught by Professor Richard Phidd The comprehensive program conshysisting of 10 courses at the undershygraduate level will provide an inte llectuaJ component to the workshyplace experiences of profeSSionals Distance education makes the depart shyments programs and courses more widely available to people in the work force ECONOMICS Professor Louis

Christofides is the new department chairman A major change which will take place LInder his direction is the establishment of a PhD program in resource and environmental econo shymics Professor Christofidcs aJso plans to oversee a review of the undershygraduate program He says the review will determine whether an approshypriate core course sequence is in place and whether the curriculum can be improved More spacc and the recmitment of quality facu lty and graduate students are also among his goals

GEOGRAPHY The birth ofProfessor Barry Smits daughter March 3 had some frantic moments Hanna was born in the family car as the harried father-to-be sped through the night to Guelph General Hospital She was dubbed Speedy Smit by the hospital staff and is a sister for two-year-old Emily Mother Ruth Ann and the baby came through the experience none the worse for wear but Professor Smit m ust have been glad to get back to the old routine of classes and lectures At least theyre fairly predictable

Alumn i House was a central gathering place during Alumni Weekshyend and will serve the san1e role during future Alumni Weekends but its benefits go far beyond the social scene said Ross The build ing will be a meeting place for the UGAA college alumni associations individual classes and interest groups such as Alumnishyin-Action

The Department of Alumni Affairs and Development reunited staff from three separate buildings on campus when it moved into Alumni House May 4

CLASS AGENTS RECEPTION

The fi rst annual class agents recepshytion on May 21 hosted by President Burt Matthews was also the first official function for alumni in the newly renovated Alumni House

111e 42 class agents and college representatives who attended the event were thanked for their volunteer efforts by President Matthews Gordon Nixon chairAlma Mater Fund (AMF) Advisory Council and Marjorie Millar d irector Alumni Affairs and Development

Gerry Ludwig manager AMF and Toni Pellizzari assistant AMF have successfully recruited 245 class agents this year who w ill be encouraging their classmates to support their alma mater through annual giving One of the major projects being funded is Alumni House

THE CAMPAIGN GETS $16 MILLION BOOST FROM PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT

Guc1phs capital campaign got a $16 million boost from the Ontario Ministry of Colleges and niversities ( MCU) May 25 to bring the end-ofshyMay campaign total to 548956170 Eighty-one per cent ofthe S60 million objective has been met in the first nine months of the five-year campaign

I am absolutely delighted to have reached this milestone this early in The Campaign says Marjorie Millar director Alumni Affairs and Developshyment Bur it is still a five -year campaign We will have to overshoot our target by a least 10 per cent to adequately fund the building projects

The MCUs commitment announshyced in simultaneous news conferences in Toronto and Guelph will cover two-thirds of the cost of a new 524 shymillion environmental biology horti shycultural science building on campus The remaining S8 million will come from other contributions to The Campaign

Rick Ferraro Arts 7 I MPP Jor Wellington South announcedMeUs gift oJ $16 million at a [n-ess conJershyence in Guelph May 25 He is seen here at the press conJerence with OAC Dean Freeman McEwen (left) andPresident Burt Matthews ( right)

Greg Sorbara Minister of Colleges and Universities says the building project reflects government recogni shytion that the revitalization of agri shy

culture and the protection of the environment are two of the most important challenges facing Ontario and Canada

Guelphs department of Horticulshytural Science is the only one of its kind at an Ontario university and the only one in Canada offering a doctoral program The department ofEnvironshymental Biology is the only such department in North America

niversity President Burt Matthews described the funding news as a godsend Although these two departments are leaders in leaching research and development he says they have had difficulties in meeting their obligations due to outdated and inadequate facilities

The proposed site for the new building is adjacent to Graham Hall President Matthews says the pwject shouLd go to tender in January 1989 Construction is expected to take about two years

IVAN TAYLOR A FRIEND TO STUDENTS AND HORSES

Duringhis 39 years ar the University Ivan Taylor attended the births of more than 300 foals So it was not surprising thal he had a connection with one of the Percherons used in the ground breaking ceremony which marked the start of construction of the Equine Research Centre this spring Ivan was present at the birth of the Percherons mother Duchess bred at OAC

Hes likely forgotten more about horses than the rest of us could ever hope ro learn in the first place an onlooker at the ceremony was overshyheard to say about Ivan

The onlooker could have been any one of hundreds of students Ivan trained to show and care for horses over the years

He had an interest in people as well as horses and whenever a student needed help he was there He was practical dependable conscientious and extremely knowledgeable about horses His equine talents were outstanding says Bruce Stone OAC 53 MSA 54 Associate Dean ofOAC

Ivan first acquired a feel for horses as a youngster on his fathers farm When he began working at OAC in 1946 he was known as a teamster someone who drove teams of horses to do the tleld work There was only one tractor at the University so horseshypower got most of the work done Ivan recalls spending several hours a week cleaning and shining the brassshymounted harness worn by the horses at that time

When asked about his skill with horses Ivan modestly attributes it to the late Professor Orval Kennedy with whom he worked for many years

At first we had 80 ro 100 horses We used some for work and some to teach field husbandry We even used them to take students on sleigh rides We broke in a lot of colts he says

Ivan remembers in particular training six horse hitches to pur on displays at Farm and Home Week an

Ivan TaYD (above) attended the birth of this Percherons mother Duchess bred at OAC The horse was one of two owned by Cameron Shantz used for agrouncl-breaking ceremony Apnl29 to mark the start 0fconstruction ofthe Equine Research Centre

OAC eveOl which lasted until the mid sixries He says he always looked forward to helping students prepare and rrain their horses for College Royal as well

In the sixties the College began to dispense wirh heavy draught horses until eventually it just had some light horses Ivan finished out his niversity career apound manager of the bull tesring station at Arkell

Dr Claire Rennie OAC 47 assistant deputy minister OMAF says During my years in the Department of Animal and Poultry Science at the UniverSity I was thankful many times thar we had a person like Ivan responsible for specific operations at rhe Arkell Research Sration He managed the beef bull performance testing promiddot gram as though ir was his very own

Ivan retired in May 1986 He now works part-time in the wholesale business and sometimes judges horses at fall fairs

Dr Russ Willoughby OVC 57

director of the Equine Research Centre invited Ivan to participate in the ground breaking ceremony because he is a very fine man who has helped hundreds ofpeople at this

niversity He was the key person looking after OLLr horses for many years

Ivan says It was a nice honor to be there

DONATE TO PATIO

SOIL EROSION GETS SPECIAL ATTENTION

T he new Centre for Soil and Water Conservation will provide a focal point for research on the degradation of soil and water resources says the Centres director Land Resource Science Professor Murray Miller OAC 53

Soil erosion costs Ontario farmers an estimated $68 million a year in nutriem and yield losses says Dr Miller [n 19S4 a Senate report on soil conservation described erosion as the most serious agricultural crisis in Canadas history and predicted the loss of a major portion of Canadas agricultural capability ifprompt action were not taken

The loss of productive topsoil is not the only problem Soil erosion is the cause of major pollution of Ontarios Great Lakes Runoff from farm land is the source of about twoshythirds of the phosphorus that is desshytroying marine life in Lake Erie Dr Miller says

The problem has become so serious that the federal government and province of Ontario have agreed to spend 830 million over tlve years to reduce phosphorus inputs to the lakes And the Omario Ministry of Agriculshyntre and Food has established a soiJ

TURFGRASS INSTITUTE The University will become a centre of Canadian turfgrass research edushycation and extension now that Senate has given the go-ahead to establish a Guelph Turfgrass Institute (GTI)

Sponsored by the Ontario Ministry ofAgriculrure and Food the niversity and the turfgrass industry GTI - the first centre of its kind in Canada shywill be housed in a new building on Stone Road

GTI will support a provincial turfshygrass industry valued at more than 240 million It will create a favorable

environment for research in turfgrass science an extension program and courses and seminars in ntrfgrass

Dr Murray Miller OAC 53

and water management branch to put greater emphasis on this area

There is a serious need for research on soil and water conservation says Dr Miller and Guelph will be much better able to meet that need with a co-ordlnated program on campus

About 25 tlculty members in various disciplines at the University have expershytise in soil and water conservation Dr Miller expects the Centre to increase the visibility and accessibility of Guelphs expertise allowing Guelph to assist government industry and other groups with soil and water conservation problems

One of the Centres first contracts is with Agriculture Canadas Soil and Water Environmental Enhancement Program to prepare an in-depth background report on soil and water conservation in southwestern Ontario

production and management at the associate diploma undergraduate and graduate levels

Turfgrass research has gone on well here since its beginnings back in the 1940s says Professor Lee Burpee Environmental Biology who has been working with colleagues for two years to establish a lurfgrass institute GTI would put us all together encourage diSCUSSion help morale and give us and the ulrfgrass industry more visishybiliry Six faculry in three departments are involved in turfgrass research In 1985 S6 the UniversityS turfgrass scientists spent more than SOO hours on extension activities

HORTICULTURALISTS FILE PATENT APPLICATION FOR TRIAZINEmiddotRESISTANT CROPS

By Owen Roberts O ffice of Research

One of the few places where farmers still have to hack at weeds with a hand hoe is among their rows ofbroccoIi cabbage cauliflower and Brussels sprouts - the cole crops Few effective herbicides exist for these crops The need for manual labor has kept the hoe busy but slowed the development of a Canadian cole crop industry

A breakthrough at the University however could not only make hand hoeing a chore of the past but heighten the importance of cole crops in Canadian agriculture Dr Renald Ayotte OAC 82 and a recent PhD graduate in Horticultural Science and his supervisors Professors Pat f lamey and Vince Souza-Machado OAC PhD 76 have filed a patent application for cole crops varieties that are resistant to the triazine fanli1y of herbicides

ormally these broad leaf plants are killed by triazine herbicides but the new plants have genetic traits that make them invulnerable to that common herbicide group Dr Ayotte says this research will find immediate application in the field

The secret is the development of a seed with triazine-resistant cytoplasm he says By cro sbreeding and backshycrossing cole crops with spring rapeshyseed (a Guelph-developed triazineshyresistant plant) the researchers created new plant bearing the nuclear genes of the cole crops and the ltylOplasmic genes of the rapeseed The result is a triazine-resistant cole crop

Breeding herbicide resistance into plants is a relatively new way of dealing with weeds in horticultural crops The traditional chemical approach has been [Q develop new compounds or extend the use of established herbicides to crops But because of the increasing costs of research and development the unshyattractive economics of herbicides for low-acreage crops and the strinshygent controls over registration standard few horticultural herbicides

Dr Renald Ayotte OAC 82

have been brought onstream It is these factors that led to this col crop project Dr Ayone says

The development of the traizineshyresistant plants could have a wideshy

spread effect on the production of cole crops which are gaining inshycreasing a c eptance by health shyconscious consumers Cauliflower sales in Canada for example have doubled over the last five years to about 824 million annuaUy

Controlling broadIeaf weed species like wild mustard and shepherds purse will not onJy reduce weed competi tion with the cole crop plants but eradicate al ternative hosts of pests and disease says Dr Ayotte And the mechanical harvesting of cole crops will be made easier by the absence of tall weeds which can clog harvesting equipment

In addition to eliminating the need fo r hand hoeing the plants will offer farmers new alternatives in crop selection says Dr Ayotte

Response by seed companies to the triazine resi tance has been good says Chris Ostrovski technology devel o pment offi cer Offi ce of Research He expects the plants (Q be popular with cole crop producers thro ughout North America and Europe as well as in China where cole crops are a staple of the diet

RESEARCH BOOSTED BY MINISTRY RELOCATION

~ricultural research at the Univershysity will benefit from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food (OMAF) decision to move its headshyquarters and over 500 staff from Toronto to Guelph

The ministrys relocation here signals and solidifies the Universitys position as the leading agricultural research institution in Canada says Dr Larry Milligan Dean of Research It is a major step toward our goal of establishing the niversity as a world centre for sustained agricultural research and technology transfer

The decision to relocate OMAF headquarters is consistent with the Ontario governments decentrali shy

zation program The announcement was part of the April 28 throne peech Relocation is expected to be complete by 1991

In 1987-88 OMAF will contribute over S31 million towards agricultural research education and services at the UniverSity This funding helps support 478 agricultural research proshyjects at OAC and OVe

No other university in Canada has the very special and entirely compleshymentary relationship with its primary external research funding source that Guelph shares with OMM says Dr Milligan With the relocation that rapport can onJy grow

OVC GRADUATE HELPS SLEEPING CHILDREN AROUND THE WORLD

Give a child a comfortable nights rest and it helps to take his mind off his hunger and conserve his energy for the demands of the next day

That s the philosophy behind Sleeping Children Around the World (SCAW) a registered Canadian charitshyable organization founded by Murray and the late Margaret Dryden parents of National Hockey League goalshytenders Dave and Ken It s an organishyzation that has given Dr Gordon S BroW11 OVC 45 of Harrow a very rewarding purpose in li fe since retirement

Gordon opened a veterinary pracshytice in Essex in 1946 and was joined 11 years later by Dr Douglas McKelvie OVC 47 The practice evolved into a busy one treating both large and small animals but a car accident in 1980 made it impossible for Gordon to continue with the large animal part He sold the practice and opened a small animal clinic in Kingsville which he operated until retiring in 1986

While on an Alaskan cruise in 1977 Gordon and his wife June met the Drydens who told them about SCAW

We were impressed with their compassion for the oppressed chilshydren in the Third World countries and their strong desire to help by supplying comfort reports Gordon

The Browns became close friends with the Drydens and began to support their precious project In 1982 Murray Dryden invited Gordon to join him in distributing bed-kits in the Third World Each kit consists of a groundsheet mattress shee ts bl anket pillow and pillow case pajamas clothing and sometimes mosquito netting

SCAW is supported by private donashytion Every dollar donated is used to provide the bed-kits nothing is siphoned off for administration or travel expenses The money is sent to existing organizations in Third World countries like Rotary Kiwanis the Salvation Army Canadian Jesuits and

Dr Gordon S Brown OVC 45 and his wife June

Pentecostal missionaries It is their responsibility to purchase materials and have the ki ts made up

When I saw first -hand the tremen shydous need and joy upon receiving the bed-kits on that first trip [ had to continue and make this project a part of my life says Gordon He has now made four trips at his 0W11 expense iOlO India and the Hin1alayas Pakistan Bangladesh Sri Lanka Thailand and the Philippines On the last two trips his wife has accompanied him and become equally enthusiastic They make the trips to witness the distrishy

bution of the ki ts and take photos of the children holding the kits and labels with the donors names on them These photos are then sent to the donors as proof that the kits are being received

Each trip takes the Browns away from their home six to seven weeks in February and March This year 12000 bed-kits will be distributed

A 1985 SCAW newsletter reports on one distribution scene In Sri Lanka the Inner Wheel (Wives of Rotarians ) intricately planned a week of d istributions in 13 d ifferent locations One was a refugee camp where a few hundred people driven out of the northern part of the island by the Tamils had taken refuge in a Catholic Church Theywere sleeping on the cement floor inety of these fami lies had witnessed their husbands and fathers lined up and shot A water tnIck came in once a day as well as a food truck We had only 100 kits for this great need Our hearts really wenl out to these people

The Browns are plCltLied to describe their SCAW trips to large or small groups Thcy may be contacted at Box 1 Blue Water Beach RR 1 Harrow Ontario NOR IGO ( 519 ) 738-6587

RADIATION EQUIPMENT FURTHERS CANCER RESEARCH

A donation of orthovoltage and cobalt radiation equipment from Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto will enable OVC to establish a radioshytherapy unit in its small animal clinic by the end of the year The gift of the used equipment will cut the estimated $250000 cost of the unit by ahout half Funds are being sought from alumni and other sources for site development of the unit

The hospital learned ofoves need for a unit while involved in joint research on the radiation treatment of dogs with lymphoma cancer in 1983 Princess Margaret researchers developed a way to preserve bone marrow while irradiating the entire body The new treatment had exeelshy

lent potential to extend remission limes in patienrs Because canine and human lymphomas arc s imilar Princess Margaret officials asked ave to carry out research on dogs using the hospitals facilities

OVC researchers treated 14 dogs with lymphoma In II of those the tumors decreased significantly in size and did not reappear in some cases until SlX months later Without treat shyment veterinarians expected the dogs had about a month to live TIle results were encouraging although not at all conclusive because of the small number of research subjects

The project stopped in 1985 pri shymarily because of staffing and space

constraints at Princess Margaret When the new radiotherapy unit is in place veterinarians wi ll resume research to find ways of increasing the duration of the effectiveness of radiation treatment Princeslt Margaret rtsearchers will explore human applications

The research could lead to work in other cancers that act similarly in dogs and humans such as osteoshysarcoma the disease suffered by Terry Fox

NEW DEPARTMENT TO FOCUS ON HEALTH OF GROUPS

A new department of population medicine at ove is focusing on tbe health of groups of animals rathe r than individuals particularly on-farm species

The department draws personnel from the departments of Clinical Studies and Veterinary Microbiology and Immunology

OVC Dean Ole Nielsen says its important for the College to have a department whose basic philosophy is concerned with the health of the group rather than the individual Its particularly important for the agri shyculnlre industry because modern food

production tends to work with large groups

Population medicine is the study of the frequency distribution and cost of disease and the inter-relationships among disease managemem enshyvironment and productivity It also involves applied strategies for health management and the prevention and control of disease

Dr ielsen says population medishyc ine is in line with the new health maintenance orientation of courses in OVCs new curriculum and it capitalizes on many ofOllr streng[hs It is also in Line with the needs of

vcterinary medicine in the future he says

As we move to larger and more complex farming operations and the economic crunch worsens there will be more emphaSiS on effiCiency and cost-effectiveness he says Population medicine is concerned with the disshytribution causes and costs of disease in animals There is emphasis on numeracy using quantitative data to measure the cost benefits of health care

Dr Nielsen says the new department will put ove in the forefront in thc modern approach to health maintenshyance in food-pn ducing animals

Dve BRIEFLY

Ove has launched a new fundshyraising p roject called Pet Trust The object is to raise money for research into problems and diseases affecting small or companion animals to further work already proceeding in such areas as oncology ophthalmology orthoshypedics reconsrmctive surgery organ dysfunction lOaesthesia infectious diseases animal behavior and human animal bonding and to provide fu nds for fellowships

Kits containing information about the program have been sent out to every veterinary practice in Ontario and response has been heartening

A Board of Tmstees will approve research projects and grants establish policy and generally promote the Pet Trust Annual reports will also be issued

DOES P EQUAL NP By Mary Dickieson

Pub lic Relations and Informa tion

One of the most perplexing proshyblems in computer science may have been solved by Professor Ted Swan who has a joint appointment in the departments of Mathematics and Statistics and Computing and Inforshymation Science He has written a paper offering proof that P=NP To the layman th is means that we will now be able to solve problems that we formerly thought we could not he says

Professor Bill Smith chair of the Department of Mathematics and Statisshytics says that if Dr Swarts results are verified they will really be quite earth-shattering and exceptional shyof far -reaching significance in mathematics

Dr Swart cautions that the jury is stili ou t on whether his approach will be proved or disproved by his peers but already his pronouncement has caused a stir in the computer world The findings are of considerable interest to everyone working in this area says Professor Smith and they are an important contribution to the problem whether or not they are eventually accepted as stated

Dr Swart says his results are bound to be met by a great deal of proshyfessional suspicion because they are contrary to the prevailing thought Most people think that P does not equal P

Although the results are still theoreshytical Professor Smith and Dr Swart agree they could have a number of practical applications Industry commerce finance and most other sectors of society that use computers could benefit from Dr Swart s adshyvancement of one of the ftmdamental aspects of computer science the use of algorithms

People solve problems on comshyputers by using precisely defined sets of steps called algOrithms says Dr_ Swart Of the two classes ofcomputer problems class P refers to those for which good polynomial time

algorithms exist enabling them to be solved effiCiently on a computer Dr Swart cites the example of the minishymal connector problem which asks for a scheme to cormect a group of cities by telephone wires in such a way that the amount of wire used is minima l Good algori thms allow this problem to be solved easily regardshyless of the number ofcities involved he says

Computer problems in the second class - NP - are considered hard to solve_Large problems in this cateshygory cannot be solved on even the most powerful computers in the world because there are no algorithms that allow solution of the problem without escalating the number of calculations to a level beyond the capacity of computers Dr Swart says there are at least 1 000 known examples of proshyblems in this class of which the travelling salesman problem is one of the best known Even for a relatively small group of cities such as the 50 US capitals there has been no solushytion to the problem of devising a route that will enable a salesman to visit each ci ty only once while trashyvelling a mininlal distance

My results say these two classes of problems are equal and that there do exist good algorithms for solving this type of computer problem he says

To prove his results Dr Swarts paper cites a similar problem the Hamilton circuit which is illustrated by asking the question Can you visit each of several cities in succession Without backtracking

Dr Swarts problem establishes that the Hamilton circuit problem can be solved in polynomial time by conshyverting a mathematical programming formulation of the problem into a linear programming formulation and using existing polynomial ti me algorithms as established by Kachiyan and Kannarkar

The Significant feature of these results is that they will enable comshyputers to tackle larger problems with more unknowns and get the results more quickly

COMPUTER SCIENCE PROGRAM APPEALS TO STUDENTS

Guelphs new masters program in computer science which enrolled its fi rst students last September aims to move advanced information techshynology out of the research laboratory and into practical application says co-ordinator Professor Tom Wi on It combines graduate courses in the latest research developments with an applied thesis

Because there are only 13 students each has what can be called a tailorshymade program says Professor Wilson The Department of Computing and Information Science plans to accept another seven students this September and expects enrolment to grow to 30 with in the next few years - deshypending on the availability of faculty and space Even with that number the program will be smaller than others in the province so the level of personal contact and flexibil ity will remain high

Students in the program are often involved in problems that are of interest to other departments About two-thirds of the students are Guelph graduates - many with double degrees

TI1e undergraduate backgrounds of the students range from medicinal chemistry to philosophy and their research interests are just as varied as the following profiles indicate

RETIRING PROFESSOR HONORED

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry hosted a symposium in the spring on the molecular mechanshyisms underlying vertebrate visual transduction The symposium honored Professor Bill Abrahamson who retired May 1 It provided a review of current approaches to a field in which Professor AbJhamson s

communication He is developing softshyware that will allow dolphin comshymunication researchers at the nivershysity of Hawaii to extract information from a database using a natural language such as English rather than a computer language This would free them from having to learn comshyplex computer skills

Karl whose thesis adviser is Proshyfessor Mary Mcleish travelled to Hawaii in April to install a natural language processing system at the Kewalo Basin Marine Mammal laborashytory and to become more fami liar with the computers available there A graduate of Gue lph s computer science program Karl at 0 has an undergraduate degree in medicinal chemistry from Concordia University and has done graduate work in neuroshyscience at McMaster Medical Centre

Howard Pel ls special interest is fibre optics and their use in wide-area communication networks sing light instead of electricity offers amazing capabilities he says because teleshyphone television and computer data can be transmitted over a single piece of pi astie

Howard who is working under Professor Wilson has a joint BA C86) from Guelph in computer science and philosophy The undershygraouate program in computer science focused more on software says Howard but his preference is hardware The master s program allows him to devote his time to this first love

contributions are widely appreciated Speakers included Dr Barry Honig

DR JOHN POWEll RECEIVES MEDAL OF MERIT

Dr John Powell who retired as professor of Human Kinetics in 1984 received the niversitys Medal of Merit at spring convocation in recognishytion not only of his important contrishybutions to establishing the study of human structure and function at the University but also in appreciation of his dedication to the physical wellshybeing of mankind

During 20 years of service to the niversity Dr Powell served two

terms as Director of the School of Human Biology and Chairman of the Department of Human Kinetics Through his guidance the Department ofHuman Kintlics was established as part of the new College of Biological Science in 1971 and after retiring he received the College s first Merishytorious Service Medal

With the untimely death of Walter Vaughan in late 1983 the call came from the Presidents office to fill Secretary of Senate Dr Powell plugged the gap for seven months fulfilling his goal to serve at the University as well as the College and departrnentallevels

In 1983 the Faculty Association presented Dr Powell with the first University of Guelph Special Merit Award in recognition of teaching excellence curriculum development and dedication to his students

Included among Dr Powells achishyevements is the initiation of the Human Kinetics Student Symposium in 1971 This undertaking has become a popular annual campus event

Dr Powell served as Honorary Preshysident of the Human Kinetics Alumni Association from 1971 -83 and served as editor of both the Bio-Sci News in the Guelph Alumnus and the Human Kinetics Newsletter The Human Kinetics Alumn i Association has honored him with a scholarship in his nanle

When he arrived at Guelph in 1965 Dr Powell initiated and for five days a week still leads the CardioshyVascular Club This club has brought a genuine enjoyment of exercise into

the lives ofDr Powells many disciples In 1983 a film featuring the CardioshyVascular Club funded by the Univershysity of Guelph Alumni Association won acdaim from the Czechoslovashykian government The film was later shown in Budapest at the request of the Hungarian government Dr Powell was honored by Premier WilIian1 Davis in 1985 for his specific conshytrihution to cardiov-Scular rehabilishytation

For 15 years Or Powell has been a member of the I nternational Olympic Academy an institution that develops the theory ethics and procedures for the Olympic Games His contribution to the Academy was recognized by the He llenic Olympic Committee when it conferred upon him the prestigious rank of Collaborator and awarded him a silver medallion_ He also received one of two silver commemorative medals presented to Canadians in 1986 for devoted work to the youth of the world through the International Olympic Academy since 1972

Dr Powell has come up with a definition for the word Olympism wh ich has been officially accepted by the Canadian Olympic Association

PROFESSOR EMERITUS

PrOfessor emeritus status was bestowed on Professor John George Department of Zoology at spring convocation

Born and educated in India Proshyfessor George joined the University of Baroda in 1950 as the first head of its zoology department and over the next decade developed one of the leading zoology departments in India He came to Guelph as professor of zoology in 1967 a pOSition he held until his retirement in 1986

Twice a Fulbright FeUow Professor George has been an invited speaker at

Dr john Powel~ Left receives MedaL afMeritfrom Chancelor William A StfnVart at spring convocation

The word was first used in 1896 and continued to be used but had never been defined middotThe definition states that olympism is a harmony of ideas and ideals that affinn the value of Olympic sport in promoting and developing physical and moral quali shyties in individuals and in contributing to a better and more peaceful world by enabling nations to meet in an atmosphere of mutual respect and international amity

One word that Dr Powell hasnt come up with a definition for is retirement A self-proclaimed people person he continues to remain active on campus through the Human Kinetics Symposia and the Cardio-Vascular eurolub and also conshyducts back rehabilitation clinics through Medical Services As long as people need him he will have contrishybutions to make Im a very thankful man he says

PROFESSOR RETIRES

Drw George Barker was honored on his retirement recently at a dinner and reception hosted by the Departshyment of Botany Dr Barkers career in plant science includes two periods at the University of Guelph From 1972 to 1983 he was chair of the Depart shyment of Botany and Genetics in the newly-formed College of Biological Science and was instrumental in guiding the department into new strengths in Botany Ecology and Genetics The emerging Genetics section became the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics in 1983

Dr Barker a native of Stratford served in Europe during World War II as a captain in the Provost Company of the Canadian Army On his return he earned his BSe (1947 ) and MSc ( 1949 ) at the University of Western Ontario His masters thesis was con shycerned with the effect of ethyl carbashymate on mitotic activity in plants This biologically-active compound recently made headlines as a contashyminant of certain wines

In 1953 Dr Barker received his PhD from the University ofMichigan for h is thesis on the proliferation of bass wood taken from 50-year-old trunk tissue demonstrating that these cells retained full developmental capashycity From this time on Dr Barker has maintained an interest in plant tissue culture

From 1952-54Dr Barker was assisshytant professor in the Department of Botany ( then OAC) During this period he perfected the technique of produci ng tubers in vitro This approach remains a cornerstone of modem biotechnology with potatoes

From 1955 to 1960 Dr Barker worked with the United Fmit Comshypany in Costa Rica Honduras and at Cornell developing practical methods of banana propagation still in wideshyspread use and carrying out basic studies on morphology and anatomy He became co-ordinator of research on lowbush blueberries at the Agri shyc ultural Rese a r c h Stat ion in Frederic ton and in 1964 w as appointed Director of the Biological Teaching Unit University of Manitoba

Dr W George Barker

When Dr Barker returned to Guelph in 1972 he llsed his long shyestablished experience in basic and applied research and teaching to build a new department in a new College He leaves behind a strong teaching department which also has an estab shyli shed in ternational research reputalion

Dr Keith Ronald director of the Arboretum and former dean of CBS announced that a Scotch pine in the Arboretum had been dedicated in honor of Dr Barkers contribution to all aipects ofUniversity life Dr Bruce Sells dean of CBS emphasized Dr Barkers pivotaJ role in initiating strong programs in three areas of biological science and presented him with a chair on behalf of the College Dr ] Derek Bewley present chair of Botany thanked Dr Barker for his help and guidance and presented a VCR from the 100 alumni students staff and faculty members in attendance at the dinner

INDUSTRY TASK FORCE REVIEWS IFM PROGRAM

A task force representing senior levels of the dietetic profession and institutional foodservice management met on campus earlier this year to advise the School of Hotel and Food Administration ( HAFA ) about the development of its Institutional Foodshyservice Management Program ( IFM ) The task force convened by FACS Dean Richard Barham is part ofHAFAs review of the IFM program one of two majors offered in the Bachelor of Commerce honors program

Included on the task force are the preside n t and executive vic e shypresident of Canadas two largest institutional foodservice management firms as well as the vice-president of the countrys largest nursing home chain

Discussion focused on intermediate and long-term plans of HAFA faculty The task force supports curriculum revisions designed to strengthen the nutrit ion and b iological science components of the IFM major The program prepares graduates for intern shyships as adn inistrative dietitians although some graduates choose to follow careers in institutional food middot service outside dietetics

The task force al so support s graduate training in administration for dietetic professionals There is a need for such a progran1 among therashypeutic dietitians seeking to shift their field of practice [Q administration and among administrative dietitians who wish to improve their qualifi shycations The task force also feels that a masters degree would be an appro shypriate alternat ive to a dietetic internship

The task force discussed the need for programs of continuing pro shyfessional education It supports proposals to develop more courses in continuing education as it relates [Q

CSS GRAD AIMS FOR OLYMPIC GOLD Andre Bordeleau C5S 79 MA 85 is determined to earn an Olympic gold medal in running game target shooting - no matter how long it takes

It may take a long time Im a late bloomer but I figure I have another 20 years to try Age is not a big problem in my sport and at least J didnt have to sacrifice my childhood to get where I am today says the 30-yearmiddotold political science graduate

Running game target requires the shooter using a 22-caJibre rifle to hit a wild pig moving on a 10-metre rail at 72 mph 144 mph or mixed speed middot from a distance of 50 metres There are many different versions of the sport but the Olympic discipline consists of 30 shots at the slower speed (slow runs ) and 30 at the faster speed ( fast runs)

Andre Bordeleau CSS 79 MA 85 is aimingfor O~yrnpic gold in running game target shooting

The CSSAlumniAssociation cut a cake during Alumni Weekend to celebrate its 10th anniversary Taking part were lef t to right Sandra Couch and Barbara Chance board directorsjohn Aviano newpresident and his wife Inara and facui~y advisor Victor Ujim

Andre became captivated by the sport of shooting when he had a job as an offi cial d river at the L976 Olympics in Montreal

Like most French-Canadian boys I wanted to p lay hockey for the Montreal Canadiens I have the size - 6-feet-l and 215 pounds - bUl there is a problem I cant skate Something to do with small curvatures in my spine nothing serious but enough to throw out my balance So since I couldnt be a professional hockey player I decided to become an Olympic amateur athlete

In pursuit of his goal Andre left his home in Montreal to study at the

niversity of Guelph in 1976 I wanted to srudy some place like Ontario where I could become bishylingual and Guelph was one of only three universities in the province with a rifle range he explains The University of Guelph Rifle Team won three Ontario championships from 1979-81

Andre started out on the Universitys rifle team shooting at stationary tarmiddot gets bu t decided to concentrate on running gan1e because it is more suited to his hyperactive personality He went to the Canadian championships in 1977 and placed ninth At a national competition in 1981 he set two Canadian records one of which stood for three years In 1984 he won the provincial championships and set a provincial record which still stands Also in 1984 he was invited to the Olympic trials and despite sustaining a concussion in a car accident on the first day of shooting he placed third Unfortunately only the first and second place winners qualified for the Olympics

In 1986 Andre went to his first international match the World Championships in East Gemlany He shot below his average and placed 46th in the 10 metre air rifle event an indoor scaled-down version ofmnning game target

1 was disappointed but I learned a lot Before I went [wasnt ranked in

24

the world at all At least now Im ranked he says

Undaunted he is currently training for the 1988 Olympics with national running game target team coach Dick Esseltine of Peterborough and he tries to practise at the Guelph rifle range eve1 day

Running game target shooting re shyquires concentration physica l stamina eye-band co-ordination and balance But staying in financial shape is a bigger challenge for Andre than staying physically fit Unable to find a job relating to his degrees he works as a night supervisor at Stonehenge a drug rehabilitation ce ntre near Guelph While he meets his liing expenses he is struggling to pay back stude nt loans and keep up with expenses incurred as an amateur athlete

Although he estimates he has dug a 860000 hole since making the move to Guelph and devoting himself to shootinghe has no regrets He says Guelph has been a good experience culturally and linguistically He views it as the place where he started a rich amateur career and as he plods on toward Olympic gold he takes satisshyfaction in his many smaller accomshyplishments

I believe in pursuing excellence Ive set the ultimate goal ( OLympic gold) and Im going to do my best to achieve it

INDUSTRIAL ORGAN IZA TIONAL

PSYCHOLOGY MEETS GROWING DEMAND

Ahigh demand for industrial psychoshylogists in Canada has led the Departshyment of Psychology to introduce a new graduate option

I ndllstriallOrganizaliorudPsychoshylogy is being added to the masters program for specialized training which could lead to work in personncl management job dcsign and analysis organizational consulting or health and safety in the workplace

The demand for industriaL PSTchoshylogists has been brought about by rapidly changing technology business growth and legislation in the areas of workplace safety human rights equal pay amI equal employment opportuni shyties Because there are few structured graduate programs in Canada to meet this need industrial psychologists have receiytd their training in the US Othe rs have trained themselves on the job

Steven Cranshaw who earned his PhD in industrial organizational

psychology at the University ofAkron is developing the new program at Guelph He was formerly at thc Univershysity of Waterloo and is currently chairman of the industrialorganizashytional section of the Canadian Psychoshylogical Association

The department is also pursuing a joint PhD program in industrial organizational psychology with the University of Waterloo It will offer training to the highest professionaJ standards in orth America

Dr Cranshawsays a 198687 survey done by Canada Employment and Immigration lists industrial organil3shytional psychology as an area of high job demand in the near future As graduates of the Guelph program become finnly established in the work force it will become readily apparent that this University is pLaying a major ro le in improving the quality of working life

WHATS NEW IN THE DEPARTMENTS POLITICAL STUDIES In September the department will introduce a dis shytance education diploma program in Public Policy and Administrat ion taught by Professor Richard Phidd The comprehensive program conshysisting of 10 courses at the undershygraduate level will provide an inte llectuaJ component to the workshyplace experiences of profeSSionals Distance education makes the depart shyments programs and courses more widely available to people in the work force ECONOMICS Professor Louis

Christofides is the new department chairman A major change which will take place LInder his direction is the establishment of a PhD program in resource and environmental econo shymics Professor Christofidcs aJso plans to oversee a review of the undershygraduate program He says the review will determine whether an approshypriate core course sequence is in place and whether the curriculum can be improved More spacc and the recmitment of quality facu lty and graduate students are also among his goals

GEOGRAPHY The birth ofProfessor Barry Smits daughter March 3 had some frantic moments Hanna was born in the family car as the harried father-to-be sped through the night to Guelph General Hospital She was dubbed Speedy Smit by the hospital staff and is a sister for two-year-old Emily Mother Ruth Ann and the baby came through the experience none the worse for wear but Professor Smit m ust have been glad to get back to the old routine of classes and lectures At least theyre fairly predictable

THE CAMPAIGN GETS $16 MILLION BOOST FROM PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT

Guc1phs capital campaign got a $16 million boost from the Ontario Ministry of Colleges and niversities ( MCU) May 25 to bring the end-ofshyMay campaign total to 548956170 Eighty-one per cent ofthe S60 million objective has been met in the first nine months of the five-year campaign

I am absolutely delighted to have reached this milestone this early in The Campaign says Marjorie Millar director Alumni Affairs and Developshyment Bur it is still a five -year campaign We will have to overshoot our target by a least 10 per cent to adequately fund the building projects

The MCUs commitment announshyced in simultaneous news conferences in Toronto and Guelph will cover two-thirds of the cost of a new 524 shymillion environmental biology horti shycultural science building on campus The remaining S8 million will come from other contributions to The Campaign

Rick Ferraro Arts 7 I MPP Jor Wellington South announcedMeUs gift oJ $16 million at a [n-ess conJershyence in Guelph May 25 He is seen here at the press conJerence with OAC Dean Freeman McEwen (left) andPresident Burt Matthews ( right)

Greg Sorbara Minister of Colleges and Universities says the building project reflects government recogni shytion that the revitalization of agri shy

culture and the protection of the environment are two of the most important challenges facing Ontario and Canada

Guelphs department of Horticulshytural Science is the only one of its kind at an Ontario university and the only one in Canada offering a doctoral program The department ofEnvironshymental Biology is the only such department in North America

niversity President Burt Matthews described the funding news as a godsend Although these two departments are leaders in leaching research and development he says they have had difficulties in meeting their obligations due to outdated and inadequate facilities

The proposed site for the new building is adjacent to Graham Hall President Matthews says the pwject shouLd go to tender in January 1989 Construction is expected to take about two years

IVAN TAYLOR A FRIEND TO STUDENTS AND HORSES

Duringhis 39 years ar the University Ivan Taylor attended the births of more than 300 foals So it was not surprising thal he had a connection with one of the Percherons used in the ground breaking ceremony which marked the start of construction of the Equine Research Centre this spring Ivan was present at the birth of the Percherons mother Duchess bred at OAC

Hes likely forgotten more about horses than the rest of us could ever hope ro learn in the first place an onlooker at the ceremony was overshyheard to say about Ivan

The onlooker could have been any one of hundreds of students Ivan trained to show and care for horses over the years

He had an interest in people as well as horses and whenever a student needed help he was there He was practical dependable conscientious and extremely knowledgeable about horses His equine talents were outstanding says Bruce Stone OAC 53 MSA 54 Associate Dean ofOAC

Ivan first acquired a feel for horses as a youngster on his fathers farm When he began working at OAC in 1946 he was known as a teamster someone who drove teams of horses to do the tleld work There was only one tractor at the University so horseshypower got most of the work done Ivan recalls spending several hours a week cleaning and shining the brassshymounted harness worn by the horses at that time

When asked about his skill with horses Ivan modestly attributes it to the late Professor Orval Kennedy with whom he worked for many years

At first we had 80 ro 100 horses We used some for work and some to teach field husbandry We even used them to take students on sleigh rides We broke in a lot of colts he says

Ivan remembers in particular training six horse hitches to pur on displays at Farm and Home Week an

Ivan TaYD (above) attended the birth of this Percherons mother Duchess bred at OAC The horse was one of two owned by Cameron Shantz used for agrouncl-breaking ceremony Apnl29 to mark the start 0fconstruction ofthe Equine Research Centre

OAC eveOl which lasted until the mid sixries He says he always looked forward to helping students prepare and rrain their horses for College Royal as well

In the sixties the College began to dispense wirh heavy draught horses until eventually it just had some light horses Ivan finished out his niversity career apound manager of the bull tesring station at Arkell

Dr Claire Rennie OAC 47 assistant deputy minister OMAF says During my years in the Department of Animal and Poultry Science at the UniverSity I was thankful many times thar we had a person like Ivan responsible for specific operations at rhe Arkell Research Sration He managed the beef bull performance testing promiddot gram as though ir was his very own

Ivan retired in May 1986 He now works part-time in the wholesale business and sometimes judges horses at fall fairs

Dr Russ Willoughby OVC 57

director of the Equine Research Centre invited Ivan to participate in the ground breaking ceremony because he is a very fine man who has helped hundreds ofpeople at this

niversity He was the key person looking after OLLr horses for many years

Ivan says It was a nice honor to be there

DONATE TO PATIO

SOIL EROSION GETS SPECIAL ATTENTION

T he new Centre for Soil and Water Conservation will provide a focal point for research on the degradation of soil and water resources says the Centres director Land Resource Science Professor Murray Miller OAC 53

Soil erosion costs Ontario farmers an estimated $68 million a year in nutriem and yield losses says Dr Miller [n 19S4 a Senate report on soil conservation described erosion as the most serious agricultural crisis in Canadas history and predicted the loss of a major portion of Canadas agricultural capability ifprompt action were not taken

The loss of productive topsoil is not the only problem Soil erosion is the cause of major pollution of Ontarios Great Lakes Runoff from farm land is the source of about twoshythirds of the phosphorus that is desshytroying marine life in Lake Erie Dr Miller says

The problem has become so serious that the federal government and province of Ontario have agreed to spend 830 million over tlve years to reduce phosphorus inputs to the lakes And the Omario Ministry of Agriculshyntre and Food has established a soiJ

TURFGRASS INSTITUTE The University will become a centre of Canadian turfgrass research edushycation and extension now that Senate has given the go-ahead to establish a Guelph Turfgrass Institute (GTI)

Sponsored by the Ontario Ministry ofAgriculrure and Food the niversity and the turfgrass industry GTI - the first centre of its kind in Canada shywill be housed in a new building on Stone Road

GTI will support a provincial turfshygrass industry valued at more than 240 million It will create a favorable

environment for research in turfgrass science an extension program and courses and seminars in ntrfgrass

Dr Murray Miller OAC 53

and water management branch to put greater emphasis on this area

There is a serious need for research on soil and water conservation says Dr Miller and Guelph will be much better able to meet that need with a co-ordlnated program on campus

About 25 tlculty members in various disciplines at the University have expershytise in soil and water conservation Dr Miller expects the Centre to increase the visibility and accessibility of Guelphs expertise allowing Guelph to assist government industry and other groups with soil and water conservation problems

One of the Centres first contracts is with Agriculture Canadas Soil and Water Environmental Enhancement Program to prepare an in-depth background report on soil and water conservation in southwestern Ontario

production and management at the associate diploma undergraduate and graduate levels

Turfgrass research has gone on well here since its beginnings back in the 1940s says Professor Lee Burpee Environmental Biology who has been working with colleagues for two years to establish a lurfgrass institute GTI would put us all together encourage diSCUSSion help morale and give us and the ulrfgrass industry more visishybiliry Six faculry in three departments are involved in turfgrass research In 1985 S6 the UniversityS turfgrass scientists spent more than SOO hours on extension activities

HORTICULTURALISTS FILE PATENT APPLICATION FOR TRIAZINEmiddotRESISTANT CROPS

By Owen Roberts O ffice of Research

One of the few places where farmers still have to hack at weeds with a hand hoe is among their rows ofbroccoIi cabbage cauliflower and Brussels sprouts - the cole crops Few effective herbicides exist for these crops The need for manual labor has kept the hoe busy but slowed the development of a Canadian cole crop industry

A breakthrough at the University however could not only make hand hoeing a chore of the past but heighten the importance of cole crops in Canadian agriculture Dr Renald Ayotte OAC 82 and a recent PhD graduate in Horticultural Science and his supervisors Professors Pat f lamey and Vince Souza-Machado OAC PhD 76 have filed a patent application for cole crops varieties that are resistant to the triazine fanli1y of herbicides

ormally these broad leaf plants are killed by triazine herbicides but the new plants have genetic traits that make them invulnerable to that common herbicide group Dr Ayotte says this research will find immediate application in the field

The secret is the development of a seed with triazine-resistant cytoplasm he says By cro sbreeding and backshycrossing cole crops with spring rapeshyseed (a Guelph-developed triazineshyresistant plant) the researchers created new plant bearing the nuclear genes of the cole crops and the ltylOplasmic genes of the rapeseed The result is a triazine-resistant cole crop

Breeding herbicide resistance into plants is a relatively new way of dealing with weeds in horticultural crops The traditional chemical approach has been [Q develop new compounds or extend the use of established herbicides to crops But because of the increasing costs of research and development the unshyattractive economics of herbicides for low-acreage crops and the strinshygent controls over registration standard few horticultural herbicides

Dr Renald Ayotte OAC 82

have been brought onstream It is these factors that led to this col crop project Dr Ayone says

The development of the traizineshyresistant plants could have a wideshy

spread effect on the production of cole crops which are gaining inshycreasing a c eptance by health shyconscious consumers Cauliflower sales in Canada for example have doubled over the last five years to about 824 million annuaUy

Controlling broadIeaf weed species like wild mustard and shepherds purse will not onJy reduce weed competi tion with the cole crop plants but eradicate al ternative hosts of pests and disease says Dr Ayotte And the mechanical harvesting of cole crops will be made easier by the absence of tall weeds which can clog harvesting equipment

In addition to eliminating the need fo r hand hoeing the plants will offer farmers new alternatives in crop selection says Dr Ayotte

Response by seed companies to the triazine resi tance has been good says Chris Ostrovski technology devel o pment offi cer Offi ce of Research He expects the plants (Q be popular with cole crop producers thro ughout North America and Europe as well as in China where cole crops are a staple of the diet

RESEARCH BOOSTED BY MINISTRY RELOCATION

~ricultural research at the Univershysity will benefit from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food (OMAF) decision to move its headshyquarters and over 500 staff from Toronto to Guelph

The ministrys relocation here signals and solidifies the Universitys position as the leading agricultural research institution in Canada says Dr Larry Milligan Dean of Research It is a major step toward our goal of establishing the niversity as a world centre for sustained agricultural research and technology transfer

The decision to relocate OMAF headquarters is consistent with the Ontario governments decentrali shy

zation program The announcement was part of the April 28 throne peech Relocation is expected to be complete by 1991

In 1987-88 OMAF will contribute over S31 million towards agricultural research education and services at the UniverSity This funding helps support 478 agricultural research proshyjects at OAC and OVe

No other university in Canada has the very special and entirely compleshymentary relationship with its primary external research funding source that Guelph shares with OMM says Dr Milligan With the relocation that rapport can onJy grow

OVC GRADUATE HELPS SLEEPING CHILDREN AROUND THE WORLD

Give a child a comfortable nights rest and it helps to take his mind off his hunger and conserve his energy for the demands of the next day

That s the philosophy behind Sleeping Children Around the World (SCAW) a registered Canadian charitshyable organization founded by Murray and the late Margaret Dryden parents of National Hockey League goalshytenders Dave and Ken It s an organishyzation that has given Dr Gordon S BroW11 OVC 45 of Harrow a very rewarding purpose in li fe since retirement

Gordon opened a veterinary pracshytice in Essex in 1946 and was joined 11 years later by Dr Douglas McKelvie OVC 47 The practice evolved into a busy one treating both large and small animals but a car accident in 1980 made it impossible for Gordon to continue with the large animal part He sold the practice and opened a small animal clinic in Kingsville which he operated until retiring in 1986

While on an Alaskan cruise in 1977 Gordon and his wife June met the Drydens who told them about SCAW

We were impressed with their compassion for the oppressed chilshydren in the Third World countries and their strong desire to help by supplying comfort reports Gordon

The Browns became close friends with the Drydens and began to support their precious project In 1982 Murray Dryden invited Gordon to join him in distributing bed-kits in the Third World Each kit consists of a groundsheet mattress shee ts bl anket pillow and pillow case pajamas clothing and sometimes mosquito netting

SCAW is supported by private donashytion Every dollar donated is used to provide the bed-kits nothing is siphoned off for administration or travel expenses The money is sent to existing organizations in Third World countries like Rotary Kiwanis the Salvation Army Canadian Jesuits and

RADIATION EQUIPMENT FURTHERS CANCER RESEARCH

A donation of orthovoltage and cobalt radiation equipment from Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto will enable OVC to establish a radioshytherapy unit in its small animal clinic by the end of the year The gift of the used equipment will cut the estimated $250000 cost of the unit by ahout half Funds are being sought from alumni and other sources for site development of the unit

The hospital learned ofoves need for a unit while involved in joint research on the radiation treatment of dogs with lymphoma cancer in 1983 Princess Margaret researchers developed a way to preserve bone marrow while irradiating the entire body The new treatment had exeelshy

lent potential to extend remission limes in patienrs Because canine and human lymphomas arc s imilar Princess Margaret officials asked ave to carry out research on dogs using the hospitals facilities

OVC researchers treated 14 dogs with lymphoma In II of those the tumors decreased significantly in size and did not reappear in some cases until SlX months later Without treat shyment veterinarians expected the dogs had about a month to live TIle results were encouraging although not at all conclusive because of the small number of research subjects

The project stopped in 1985 pri shymarily because of staffing and space

constraints at Princess Margaret When the new radiotherapy unit is in place veterinarians wi ll resume research to find ways of increasing the duration of the effectiveness of radiation treatment Princeslt Margaret rtsearchers will explore human applications

The research could lead to work in other cancers that act similarly in dogs and humans such as osteoshysarcoma the disease suffered by Terry Fox

NEW DEPARTMENT TO FOCUS ON HEALTH OF GROUPS

A new department of population medicine at ove is focusing on tbe health of groups of animals rathe r than individuals particularly on-farm species

The department draws personnel from the departments of Clinical Studies and Veterinary Microbiology and Immunology

OVC Dean Ole Nielsen says its important for the College to have a department whose basic philosophy is concerned with the health of the group rather than the individual Its particularly important for the agri shyculnlre industry because modern food

production tends to work with large groups

Population medicine is the study of the frequency distribution and cost of disease and the inter-relationships among disease managemem enshyvironment and productivity It also involves applied strategies for health management and the prevention and control of disease

Dr ielsen says population medishyc ine is in line with the new health maintenance orientation of courses in OVCs new curriculum and it capitalizes on many ofOllr streng[hs It is also in Line with the needs of

vcterinary medicine in the future he says

As we move to larger and more complex farming operations and the economic crunch worsens there will be more emphaSiS on effiCiency and cost-effectiveness he says Population medicine is concerned with the disshytribution causes and costs of disease in animals There is emphasis on numeracy using quantitative data to measure the cost benefits of health care

Dr Nielsen says the new department will put ove in the forefront in thc modern approach to health maintenshyance in food-pn ducing animals

Dve BRIEFLY

Ove has launched a new fundshyraising p roject called Pet Trust The object is to raise money for research into problems and diseases affecting small or companion animals to further work already proceeding in such areas as oncology ophthalmology orthoshypedics reconsrmctive surgery organ dysfunction lOaesthesia infectious diseases animal behavior and human animal bonding and to provide fu nds for fellowships

Kits containing information about the program have been sent out to every veterinary practice in Ontario and response has been heartening

A Board of Tmstees will approve research projects and grants establish policy and generally promote the Pet Trust Annual reports will also be issued

DOES P EQUAL NP By Mary Dickieson

Pub lic Relations and Informa tion

One of the most perplexing proshyblems in computer science may have been solved by Professor Ted Swan who has a joint appointment in the departments of Mathematics and Statistics and Computing and Inforshymation Science He has written a paper offering proof that P=NP To the layman th is means that we will now be able to solve problems that we formerly thought we could not he says

Professor Bill Smith chair of the Department of Mathematics and Statisshytics says that if Dr Swarts results are verified they will really be quite earth-shattering and exceptional shyof far -reaching significance in mathematics

Dr Swart cautions that the jury is stili ou t on whether his approach will be proved or disproved by his peers but already his pronouncement has caused a stir in the computer world The findings are of considerable interest to everyone working in this area says Professor Smith and they are an important contribution to the problem whether or not they are eventually accepted as stated

Dr Swart says his results are bound to be met by a great deal of proshyfessional suspicion because they are contrary to the prevailing thought Most people think that P does not equal P

Although the results are still theoreshytical Professor Smith and Dr Swart agree they could have a number of practical applications Industry commerce finance and most other sectors of society that use computers could benefit from Dr Swart s adshyvancement of one of the ftmdamental aspects of computer science the use of algorithms

People solve problems on comshyputers by using precisely defined sets of steps called algOrithms says Dr_ Swart Of the two classes ofcomputer problems class P refers to those for which good polynomial time

algorithms exist enabling them to be solved effiCiently on a computer Dr Swart cites the example of the minishymal connector problem which asks for a scheme to cormect a group of cities by telephone wires in such a way that the amount of wire used is minima l Good algori thms allow this problem to be solved easily regardshyless of the number ofcities involved he says

Computer problems in the second class - NP - are considered hard to solve_Large problems in this cateshygory cannot be solved on even the most powerful computers in the world because there are no algorithms that allow solution of the problem without escalating the number of calculations to a level beyond the capacity of computers Dr Swart says there are at least 1 000 known examples of proshyblems in this class of which the travelling salesman problem is one of the best known Even for a relatively small group of cities such as the 50 US capitals there has been no solushytion to the problem of devising a route that will enable a salesman to visit each ci ty only once while trashyvelling a mininlal distance

My results say these two classes of problems are equal and that there do exist good algorithms for solving this type of computer problem he says

To prove his results Dr Swarts paper cites a similar problem the Hamilton circuit which is illustrated by asking the question Can you visit each of several cities in succession Without backtracking

Dr Swarts problem establishes that the Hamilton circuit problem can be solved in polynomial time by conshyverting a mathematical programming formulation of the problem into a linear programming formulation and using existing polynomial ti me algorithms as established by Kachiyan and Kannarkar

The Significant feature of these results is that they will enable comshyputers to tackle larger problems with more unknowns and get the results more quickly

COMPUTER SCIENCE PROGRAM APPEALS TO STUDENTS

Guelphs new masters program in computer science which enrolled its fi rst students last September aims to move advanced information techshynology out of the research laboratory and into practical application says co-ordinator Professor Tom Wi on It combines graduate courses in the latest research developments with an applied thesis

Because there are only 13 students each has what can be called a tailorshymade program says Professor Wilson The Department of Computing and Information Science plans to accept another seven students this September and expects enrolment to grow to 30 with in the next few years - deshypending on the availability of faculty and space Even with that number the program will be smaller than others in the province so the level of personal contact and flexibil ity will remain high

Students in the program are often involved in problems that are of interest to other departments About two-thirds of the students are Guelph graduates - many with double degrees

TI1e undergraduate backgrounds of the students range from medicinal chemistry to philosophy and their research interests are just as varied as the following profiles indicate

RETIRING PROFESSOR HONORED

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry hosted a symposium in the spring on the molecular mechanshyisms underlying vertebrate visual transduction The symposium honored Professor Bill Abrahamson who retired May 1 It provided a review of current approaches to a field in which Professor AbJhamson s

communication He is developing softshyware that will allow dolphin comshymunication researchers at the nivershysity of Hawaii to extract information from a database using a natural language such as English rather than a computer language This would free them from having to learn comshyplex computer skills

Karl whose thesis adviser is Proshyfessor Mary Mcleish travelled to Hawaii in April to install a natural language processing system at the Kewalo Basin Marine Mammal laborashytory and to become more fami liar with the computers available there A graduate of Gue lph s computer science program Karl at 0 has an undergraduate degree in medicinal chemistry from Concordia University and has done graduate work in neuroshyscience at McMaster Medical Centre

Howard Pel ls special interest is fibre optics and their use in wide-area communication networks sing light instead of electricity offers amazing capabilities he says because teleshyphone television and computer data can be transmitted over a single piece of pi astie

Howard who is working under Professor Wilson has a joint BA C86) from Guelph in computer science and philosophy The undershygraouate program in computer science focused more on software says Howard but his preference is hardware The master s program allows him to devote his time to this first love

contributions are widely appreciated Speakers included Dr Barry Honig

During 20 years of service to the niversity Dr Powell served two

terms as Director of the School of Human Biology and Chairman of the Department of Human Kinetics Through his guidance the Department ofHuman Kintlics was established as part of the new College of Biological Science in 1971 and after retiring he received the College s first Merishytorious Service Medal

With the untimely death of Walter Vaughan in late 1983 the call came from the Presidents office to fill Secretary of Senate Dr Powell plugged the gap for seven months fulfilling his goal to serve at the University as well as the College and departrnentallevels

In 1983 the Faculty Association presented Dr Powell with the first University of Guelph Special Merit Award in recognition of teaching excellence curriculum development and dedication to his students

Included among Dr Powells achishyevements is the initiation of the Human Kinetics Student Symposium in 1971 This undertaking has become a popular annual campus event

Dr Powell served as Honorary Preshysident of the Human Kinetics Alumni Association from 1971 -83 and served as editor of both the Bio-Sci News in the Guelph Alumnus and the Human Kinetics Newsletter The Human Kinetics Alumn i Association has honored him with a scholarship in his nanle

When he arrived at Guelph in 1965 Dr Powell initiated and for five days a week still leads the CardioshyVascular Club This club has brought a genuine enjoyment of exercise into

the lives ofDr Powells many disciples In 1983 a film featuring the CardioshyVascular Club funded by the Univershysity of Guelph Alumni Association won acdaim from the Czechoslovashykian government The film was later shown in Budapest at the request of the Hungarian government Dr Powell was honored by Premier WilIian1 Davis in 1985 for his specific conshytrihution to cardiov-Scular rehabilishytation

For 15 years Or Powell has been a member of the I nternational Olympic Academy an institution that develops the theory ethics and procedures for the Olympic Games His contribution to the Academy was recognized by the He llenic Olympic Committee when it conferred upon him the prestigious rank of Collaborator and awarded him a silver medallion_ He also received one of two silver commemorative medals presented to Canadians in 1986 for devoted work to the youth of the world through the International Olympic Academy since 1972

Dr Powell has come up with a definition for the word Olympism wh ich has been officially accepted by the Canadian Olympic Association

PROFESSOR EMERITUS

PrOfessor emeritus status was bestowed on Professor John George Department of Zoology at spring convocation

Born and educated in India Proshyfessor George joined the University of Baroda in 1950 as the first head of its zoology department and over the next decade developed one of the leading zoology departments in India He came to Guelph as professor of zoology in 1967 a pOSition he held until his retirement in 1986

PROFESSOR RETIRES

Drw George Barker was honored on his retirement recently at a dinner and reception hosted by the Departshyment of Botany Dr Barkers career in plant science includes two periods at the University of Guelph From 1972 to 1983 he was chair of the Depart shyment of Botany and Genetics in the newly-formed College of Biological Science and was instrumental in guiding the department into new strengths in Botany Ecology and Genetics The emerging Genetics section became the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics in 1983

Dr Barker a native of Stratford served in Europe during World War II as a captain in the Provost Company of the Canadian Army On his return he earned his BSe (1947 ) and MSc ( 1949 ) at the University of Western Ontario His masters thesis was con shycerned with the effect of ethyl carbashymate on mitotic activity in plants This biologically-active compound recently made headlines as a contashyminant of certain wines

In 1953 Dr Barker received his PhD from the University ofMichigan for h is thesis on the proliferation of bass wood taken from 50-year-old trunk tissue demonstrating that these cells retained full developmental capashycity From this time on Dr Barker has maintained an interest in plant tissue culture

From 1952-54Dr Barker was assisshytant professor in the Department of Botany ( then OAC) During this period he perfected the technique of produci ng tubers in vitro This approach remains a cornerstone of modem biotechnology with potatoes

From 1955 to 1960 Dr Barker worked with the United Fmit Comshypany in Costa Rica Honduras and at Cornell developing practical methods of banana propagation still in wideshyspread use and carrying out basic studies on morphology and anatomy He became co-ordinator of research on lowbush blueberries at the Agri shyc ultural Rese a r c h Stat ion in Frederic ton and in 1964 w as appointed Director of the Biological Teaching Unit University of Manitoba

Dr W George Barker

When Dr Barker returned to Guelph in 1972 he llsed his long shyestablished experience in basic and applied research and teaching to build a new department in a new College He leaves behind a strong teaching department which also has an estab shyli shed in ternational research reputalion

Dr Keith Ronald director of the Arboretum and former dean of CBS announced that a Scotch pine in the Arboretum had been dedicated in honor of Dr Barkers contribution to all aipects ofUniversity life Dr Bruce Sells dean of CBS emphasized Dr Barkers pivotaJ role in initiating strong programs in three areas of biological science and presented him with a chair on behalf of the College Dr ] Derek Bewley present chair of Botany thanked Dr Barker for his help and guidance and presented a VCR from the 100 alumni students staff and faculty members in attendance at the dinner

INDUSTRY TASK FORCE REVIEWS IFM PROGRAM

A task force representing senior levels of the dietetic profession and institutional foodservice management met on campus earlier this year to advise the School of Hotel and Food Administration ( HAFA ) about the development of its Institutional Foodshyservice Management Program ( IFM ) The task force convened by FACS Dean Richard Barham is part ofHAFAs review of the IFM program one of two majors offered in the Bachelor of Commerce honors program

Included on the task force are the preside n t and executive vic e shypresident of Canadas two largest institutional foodservice management firms as well as the vice-president of the countrys largest nursing home chain

Discussion focused on intermediate and long-term plans of HAFA faculty The task force supports curriculum revisions designed to strengthen the nutrit ion and b iological science components of the IFM major The program prepares graduates for intern shyships as adn inistrative dietitians although some graduates choose to follow careers in institutional food middot service outside dietetics

The task force al so support s graduate training in administration for dietetic professionals There is a need for such a progran1 among therashypeutic dietitians seeking to shift their field of practice [Q administration and among administrative dietitians who wish to improve their qualifi shycations The task force also feels that a masters degree would be an appro shypriate alternat ive to a dietetic internship

The task force discussed the need for programs of continuing pro shyfessional education It supports proposals to develop more courses in continuing education as it relates [Q

administrative dietetics

Members of the task force agreed to continue to serve as a resource group to HAFAs IFM programs

CSS GRAD AIMS FOR OLYMPIC GOLD Andre Bordeleau C5S 79 MA 85 is determined to earn an Olympic gold medal in running game target shooting - no matter how long it takes

It may take a long time Im a late bloomer but I figure I have another 20 years to try Age is not a big problem in my sport and at least J didnt have to sacrifice my childhood to get where I am today says the 30-yearmiddotold political science graduate

Running game target requires the shooter using a 22-caJibre rifle to hit a wild pig moving on a 10-metre rail at 72 mph 144 mph or mixed speed middot from a distance of 50 metres There are many different versions of the sport but the Olympic discipline consists of 30 shots at the slower speed (slow runs ) and 30 at the faster speed ( fast runs)

Andre Bordeleau CSS 79 MA 85 is aimingfor O~yrnpic gold in running game target shooting

The CSSAlumniAssociation cut a cake during Alumni Weekend to celebrate its 10th anniversary Taking part were lef t to right Sandra Couch and Barbara Chance board directorsjohn Aviano newpresident and his wife Inara and facui~y advisor Victor Ujim

Andre became captivated by the sport of shooting when he had a job as an offi cial d river at the L976 Olympics in Montreal

Like most French-Canadian boys I wanted to p lay hockey for the Montreal Canadiens I have the size - 6-feet-l and 215 pounds - bUl there is a problem I cant skate Something to do with small curvatures in my spine nothing serious but enough to throw out my balance So since I couldnt be a professional hockey player I decided to become an Olympic amateur athlete

In pursuit of his goal Andre left his home in Montreal to study at the

niversity of Guelph in 1976 I wanted to srudy some place like Ontario where I could become bishylingual and Guelph was one of only three universities in the province with a rifle range he explains The University of Guelph Rifle Team won three Ontario championships from 1979-81

Andre started out on the Universitys rifle team shooting at stationary tarmiddot gets bu t decided to concentrate on running gan1e because it is more suited to his hyperactive personality He went to the Canadian championships in 1977 and placed ninth At a national competition in 1981 he set two Canadian records one of which stood for three years In 1984 he won the provincial championships and set a provincial record which still stands Also in 1984 he was invited to the Olympic trials and despite sustaining a concussion in a car accident on the first day of shooting he placed third Unfortunately only the first and second place winners qualified for the Olympics

In 1986 Andre went to his first international match the World Championships in East Gemlany He shot below his average and placed 46th in the 10 metre air rifle event an indoor scaled-down version ofmnning game target

1 was disappointed but I learned a lot Before I went [wasnt ranked in

24

the world at all At least now Im ranked he says

Undaunted he is currently training for the 1988 Olympics with national running game target team coach Dick Esseltine of Peterborough and he tries to practise at the Guelph rifle range eve1 day

Running game target shooting re shyquires concentration physica l stamina eye-band co-ordination and balance But staying in financial shape is a bigger challenge for Andre than staying physically fit Unable to find a job relating to his degrees he works as a night supervisor at Stonehenge a drug rehabilitation ce ntre near Guelph While he meets his liing expenses he is struggling to pay back stude nt loans and keep up with expenses incurred as an amateur athlete

Although he estimates he has dug a 860000 hole since making the move to Guelph and devoting himself to shootinghe has no regrets He says Guelph has been a good experience culturally and linguistically He views it as the place where he started a rich amateur career and as he plods on toward Olympic gold he takes satisshyfaction in his many smaller accomshyplishments

I believe in pursuing excellence Ive set the ultimate goal ( OLympic gold) and Im going to do my best to achieve it

INDUSTRIAL ORGAN IZA TIONAL

PSYCHOLOGY MEETS GROWING DEMAND

Ahigh demand for industrial psychoshylogists in Canada has led the Departshyment of Psychology to introduce a new graduate option

I ndllstriallOrganizaliorudPsychoshylogy is being added to the masters program for specialized training which could lead to work in personncl management job dcsign and analysis organizational consulting or health and safety in the workplace

The demand for industriaL PSTchoshylogists has been brought about by rapidly changing technology business growth and legislation in the areas of workplace safety human rights equal pay amI equal employment opportuni shyties Because there are few structured graduate programs in Canada to meet this need industrial psychologists have receiytd their training in the US Othe rs have trained themselves on the job

Steven Cranshaw who earned his PhD in industrial organizational

psychology at the University ofAkron is developing the new program at Guelph He was formerly at thc Univershysity of Waterloo and is currently chairman of the industrialorganizashytional section of the Canadian Psychoshylogical Association

The department is also pursuing a joint PhD program in industrial organizational psychology with the University of Waterloo It will offer training to the highest professionaJ standards in orth America

Dr Cranshawsays a 198687 survey done by Canada Employment and Immigration lists industrial organil3shytional psychology as an area of high job demand in the near future As graduates of the Guelph program become finnly established in the work force it will become readily apparent that this University is pLaying a major ro le in improving the quality of working life

WHATS NEW IN THE DEPARTMENTS POLITICAL STUDIES In September the department will introduce a dis shytance education diploma program in Public Policy and Administrat ion taught by Professor Richard Phidd The comprehensive program conshysisting of 10 courses at the undershygraduate level will provide an inte llectuaJ component to the workshyplace experiences of profeSSionals Distance education makes the depart shyments programs and courses more widely available to people in the work force ECONOMICS Professor Louis

Christofides is the new department chairman A major change which will take place LInder his direction is the establishment of a PhD program in resource and environmental econo shymics Professor Christofidcs aJso plans to oversee a review of the undershygraduate program He says the review will determine whether an approshypriate core course sequence is in place and whether the curriculum can be improved More spacc and the recmitment of quality facu lty and graduate students are also among his goals

GEOGRAPHY The birth ofProfessor Barry Smits daughter March 3 had some frantic moments Hanna was born in the family car as the harried father-to-be sped through the night to Guelph General Hospital She was dubbed Speedy Smit by the hospital staff and is a sister for two-year-old Emily Mother Ruth Ann and the baby came through the experience none the worse for wear but Professor Smit m ust have been glad to get back to the old routine of classes and lectures At least theyre fairly predictable

IVAN TAYLOR A FRIEND TO STUDENTS AND HORSES

Duringhis 39 years ar the University Ivan Taylor attended the births of more than 300 foals So it was not surprising thal he had a connection with one of the Percherons used in the ground breaking ceremony which marked the start of construction of the Equine Research Centre this spring Ivan was present at the birth of the Percherons mother Duchess bred at OAC

Hes likely forgotten more about horses than the rest of us could ever hope ro learn in the first place an onlooker at the ceremony was overshyheard to say about Ivan

The onlooker could have been any one of hundreds of students Ivan trained to show and care for horses over the years

He had an interest in people as well as horses and whenever a student needed help he was there He was practical dependable conscientious and extremely knowledgeable about horses His equine talents were outstanding says Bruce Stone OAC 53 MSA 54 Associate Dean ofOAC

Ivan first acquired a feel for horses as a youngster on his fathers farm When he began working at OAC in 1946 he was known as a teamster someone who drove teams of horses to do the tleld work There was only one tractor at the University so horseshypower got most of the work done Ivan recalls spending several hours a week cleaning and shining the brassshymounted harness worn by the horses at that time

When asked about his skill with horses Ivan modestly attributes it to the late Professor Orval Kennedy with whom he worked for many years

At first we had 80 ro 100 horses We used some for work and some to teach field husbandry We even used them to take students on sleigh rides We broke in a lot of colts he says

Ivan remembers in particular training six horse hitches to pur on displays at Farm and Home Week an

Ivan TaYD (above) attended the birth of this Percherons mother Duchess bred at OAC The horse was one of two owned by Cameron Shantz used for agrouncl-breaking ceremony Apnl29 to mark the start 0fconstruction ofthe Equine Research Centre

OAC eveOl which lasted until the mid sixries He says he always looked forward to helping students prepare and rrain their horses for College Royal as well

In the sixties the College began to dispense wirh heavy draught horses until eventually it just had some light horses Ivan finished out his niversity career apound manager of the bull tesring station at Arkell

Dr Claire Rennie OAC 47 assistant deputy minister OMAF says During my years in the Department of Animal and Poultry Science at the UniverSity I was thankful many times thar we had a person like Ivan responsible for specific operations at rhe Arkell Research Sration He managed the beef bull performance testing promiddot gram as though ir was his very own

Ivan retired in May 1986 He now works part-time in the wholesale business and sometimes judges horses at fall fairs

Dr Russ Willoughby OVC 57

director of the Equine Research Centre invited Ivan to participate in the ground breaking ceremony because he is a very fine man who has helped hundreds ofpeople at this

niversity He was the key person looking after OLLr horses for many years

Ivan says It was a nice honor to be there

DONATE TO PATIO

SOIL EROSION GETS SPECIAL ATTENTION

T he new Centre for Soil and Water Conservation will provide a focal point for research on the degradation of soil and water resources says the Centres director Land Resource Science Professor Murray Miller OAC 53

Soil erosion costs Ontario farmers an estimated $68 million a year in nutriem and yield losses says Dr Miller [n 19S4 a Senate report on soil conservation described erosion as the most serious agricultural crisis in Canadas history and predicted the loss of a major portion of Canadas agricultural capability ifprompt action were not taken

The loss of productive topsoil is not the only problem Soil erosion is the cause of major pollution of Ontarios Great Lakes Runoff from farm land is the source of about twoshythirds of the phosphorus that is desshytroying marine life in Lake Erie Dr Miller says

The problem has become so serious that the federal government and province of Ontario have agreed to spend 830 million over tlve years to reduce phosphorus inputs to the lakes And the Omario Ministry of Agriculshyntre and Food has established a soiJ

TURFGRASS INSTITUTE The University will become a centre of Canadian turfgrass research edushycation and extension now that Senate has given the go-ahead to establish a Guelph Turfgrass Institute (GTI)

Sponsored by the Ontario Ministry ofAgriculrure and Food the niversity and the turfgrass industry GTI - the first centre of its kind in Canada shywill be housed in a new building on Stone Road

GTI will support a provincial turfshygrass industry valued at more than 240 million It will create a favorable

environment for research in turfgrass science an extension program and courses and seminars in ntrfgrass

Dr Murray Miller OAC 53

and water management branch to put greater emphasis on this area

There is a serious need for research on soil and water conservation says Dr Miller and Guelph will be much better able to meet that need with a co-ordlnated program on campus

About 25 tlculty members in various disciplines at the University have expershytise in soil and water conservation Dr Miller expects the Centre to increase the visibility and accessibility of Guelphs expertise allowing Guelph to assist government industry and other groups with soil and water conservation problems

One of the Centres first contracts is with Agriculture Canadas Soil and Water Environmental Enhancement Program to prepare an in-depth background report on soil and water conservation in southwestern Ontario

production and management at the associate diploma undergraduate and graduate levels

Turfgrass research has gone on well here since its beginnings back in the 1940s says Professor Lee Burpee Environmental Biology who has been working with colleagues for two years to establish a lurfgrass institute GTI would put us all together encourage diSCUSSion help morale and give us and the ulrfgrass industry more visishybiliry Six faculry in three departments are involved in turfgrass research In 1985 S6 the UniversityS turfgrass scientists spent more than SOO hours on extension activities

HORTICULTURALISTS FILE PATENT APPLICATION FOR TRIAZINEmiddotRESISTANT CROPS

By Owen Roberts O ffice of Research

One of the few places where farmers still have to hack at weeds with a hand hoe is among their rows ofbroccoIi cabbage cauliflower and Brussels sprouts - the cole crops Few effective herbicides exist for these crops The need for manual labor has kept the hoe busy but slowed the development of a Canadian cole crop industry

A breakthrough at the University however could not only make hand hoeing a chore of the past but heighten the importance of cole crops in Canadian agriculture Dr Renald Ayotte OAC 82 and a recent PhD graduate in Horticultural Science and his supervisors Professors Pat f lamey and Vince Souza-Machado OAC PhD 76 have filed a patent application for cole crops varieties that are resistant to the triazine fanli1y of herbicides

ormally these broad leaf plants are killed by triazine herbicides but the new plants have genetic traits that make them invulnerable to that common herbicide group Dr Ayotte says this research will find immediate application in the field

The secret is the development of a seed with triazine-resistant cytoplasm he says By cro sbreeding and backshycrossing cole crops with spring rapeshyseed (a Guelph-developed triazineshyresistant plant) the researchers created new plant bearing the nuclear genes of the cole crops and the ltylOplasmic genes of the rapeseed The result is a triazine-resistant cole crop

Breeding herbicide resistance into plants is a relatively new way of dealing with weeds in horticultural crops The traditional chemical approach has been [Q develop new compounds or extend the use of established herbicides to crops But because of the increasing costs of research and development the unshyattractive economics of herbicides for low-acreage crops and the strinshygent controls over registration standard few horticultural herbicides

Dr Renald Ayotte OAC 82

have been brought onstream It is these factors that led to this col crop project Dr Ayone says

The development of the traizineshyresistant plants could have a wideshy

spread effect on the production of cole crops which are gaining inshycreasing a c eptance by health shyconscious consumers Cauliflower sales in Canada for example have doubled over the last five years to about 824 million annuaUy

Controlling broadIeaf weed species like wild mustard and shepherds purse will not onJy reduce weed competi tion with the cole crop plants but eradicate al ternative hosts of pests and disease says Dr Ayotte And the mechanical harvesting of cole crops will be made easier by the absence of tall weeds which can clog harvesting equipment

In addition to eliminating the need fo r hand hoeing the plants will offer farmers new alternatives in crop selection says Dr Ayotte

Response by seed companies to the triazine resi tance has been good says Chris Ostrovski technology devel o pment offi cer Offi ce of Research He expects the plants (Q be popular with cole crop producers thro ughout North America and Europe as well as in China where cole crops are a staple of the diet

RESEARCH BOOSTED BY MINISTRY RELOCATION

~ricultural research at the Univershysity will benefit from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food (OMAF) decision to move its headshyquarters and over 500 staff from Toronto to Guelph

The ministrys relocation here signals and solidifies the Universitys position as the leading agricultural research institution in Canada says Dr Larry Milligan Dean of Research It is a major step toward our goal of establishing the niversity as a world centre for sustained agricultural research and technology transfer

The decision to relocate OMAF headquarters is consistent with the Ontario governments decentrali shy

zation program The announcement was part of the April 28 throne peech Relocation is expected to be complete by 1991

In 1987-88 OMAF will contribute over S31 million towards agricultural research education and services at the UniverSity This funding helps support 478 agricultural research proshyjects at OAC and OVe

No other university in Canada has the very special and entirely compleshymentary relationship with its primary external research funding source that Guelph shares with OMM says Dr Milligan With the relocation that rapport can onJy grow

OVC GRADUATE HELPS SLEEPING CHILDREN AROUND THE WORLD

Give a child a comfortable nights rest and it helps to take his mind off his hunger and conserve his energy for the demands of the next day

That s the philosophy behind Sleeping Children Around the World (SCAW) a registered Canadian charitshyable organization founded by Murray and the late Margaret Dryden parents of National Hockey League goalshytenders Dave and Ken It s an organishyzation that has given Dr Gordon S BroW11 OVC 45 of Harrow a very rewarding purpose in li fe since retirement

Gordon opened a veterinary pracshytice in Essex in 1946 and was joined 11 years later by Dr Douglas McKelvie OVC 47 The practice evolved into a busy one treating both large and small animals but a car accident in 1980 made it impossible for Gordon to continue with the large animal part He sold the practice and opened a small animal clinic in Kingsville which he operated until retiring in 1986

While on an Alaskan cruise in 1977 Gordon and his wife June met the Drydens who told them about SCAW

We were impressed with their compassion for the oppressed chilshydren in the Third World countries and their strong desire to help by supplying comfort reports Gordon

The Browns became close friends with the Drydens and began to support their precious project In 1982 Murray Dryden invited Gordon to join him in distributing bed-kits in the Third World Each kit consists of a groundsheet mattress shee ts bl anket pillow and pillow case pajamas clothing and sometimes mosquito netting

SCAW is supported by private donashytion Every dollar donated is used to provide the bed-kits nothing is siphoned off for administration or travel expenses The money is sent to existing organizations in Third World countries like Rotary Kiwanis the Salvation Army Canadian Jesuits and

Dr Gordon S Brown OVC 45 and his wife June

Pentecostal missionaries It is their responsibility to purchase materials and have the ki ts made up

When I saw first -hand the tremen shydous need and joy upon receiving the bed-kits on that first trip [ had to continue and make this project a part of my life says Gordon He has now made four trips at his 0W11 expense iOlO India and the Hin1alayas Pakistan Bangladesh Sri Lanka Thailand and the Philippines On the last two trips his wife has accompanied him and become equally enthusiastic They make the trips to witness the distrishy

bution of the ki ts and take photos of the children holding the kits and labels with the donors names on them These photos are then sent to the donors as proof that the kits are being received

Each trip takes the Browns away from their home six to seven weeks in February and March This year 12000 bed-kits will be distributed

A 1985 SCAW newsletter reports on one distribution scene In Sri Lanka the Inner Wheel (Wives of Rotarians ) intricately planned a week of d istributions in 13 d ifferent locations One was a refugee camp where a few hundred people driven out of the northern part of the island by the Tamils had taken refuge in a Catholic Church Theywere sleeping on the cement floor inety of these fami lies had witnessed their husbands and fathers lined up and shot A water tnIck came in once a day as well as a food truck We had only 100 kits for this great need Our hearts really wenl out to these people

The Browns are plCltLied to describe their SCAW trips to large or small groups Thcy may be contacted at Box 1 Blue Water Beach RR 1 Harrow Ontario NOR IGO ( 519 ) 738-6587

RADIATION EQUIPMENT FURTHERS CANCER RESEARCH

A donation of orthovoltage and cobalt radiation equipment from Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto will enable OVC to establish a radioshytherapy unit in its small animal clinic by the end of the year The gift of the used equipment will cut the estimated $250000 cost of the unit by ahout half Funds are being sought from alumni and other sources for site development of the unit

The hospital learned ofoves need for a unit while involved in joint research on the radiation treatment of dogs with lymphoma cancer in 1983 Princess Margaret researchers developed a way to preserve bone marrow while irradiating the entire body The new treatment had exeelshy

lent potential to extend remission limes in patienrs Because canine and human lymphomas arc s imilar Princess Margaret officials asked ave to carry out research on dogs using the hospitals facilities

OVC researchers treated 14 dogs with lymphoma In II of those the tumors decreased significantly in size and did not reappear in some cases until SlX months later Without treat shyment veterinarians expected the dogs had about a month to live TIle results were encouraging although not at all conclusive because of the small number of research subjects

The project stopped in 1985 pri shymarily because of staffing and space

constraints at Princess Margaret When the new radiotherapy unit is in place veterinarians wi ll resume research to find ways of increasing the duration of the effectiveness of radiation treatment Princeslt Margaret rtsearchers will explore human applications

The research could lead to work in other cancers that act similarly in dogs and humans such as osteoshysarcoma the disease suffered by Terry Fox

NEW DEPARTMENT TO FOCUS ON HEALTH OF GROUPS

A new department of population medicine at ove is focusing on tbe health of groups of animals rathe r than individuals particularly on-farm species

The department draws personnel from the departments of Clinical Studies and Veterinary Microbiology and Immunology

OVC Dean Ole Nielsen says its important for the College to have a department whose basic philosophy is concerned with the health of the group rather than the individual Its particularly important for the agri shyculnlre industry because modern food

production tends to work with large groups

Population medicine is the study of the frequency distribution and cost of disease and the inter-relationships among disease managemem enshyvironment and productivity It also involves applied strategies for health management and the prevention and control of disease

Dr ielsen says population medishyc ine is in line with the new health maintenance orientation of courses in OVCs new curriculum and it capitalizes on many ofOllr streng[hs It is also in Line with the needs of

vcterinary medicine in the future he says

As we move to larger and more complex farming operations and the economic crunch worsens there will be more emphaSiS on effiCiency and cost-effectiveness he says Population medicine is concerned with the disshytribution causes and costs of disease in animals There is emphasis on numeracy using quantitative data to measure the cost benefits of health care

Dr Nielsen says the new department will put ove in the forefront in thc modern approach to health maintenshyance in food-pn ducing animals

Dve BRIEFLY

Ove has launched a new fundshyraising p roject called Pet Trust The object is to raise money for research into problems and diseases affecting small or companion animals to further work already proceeding in such areas as oncology ophthalmology orthoshypedics reconsrmctive surgery organ dysfunction lOaesthesia infectious diseases animal behavior and human animal bonding and to provide fu nds for fellowships

Kits containing information about the program have been sent out to every veterinary practice in Ontario and response has been heartening

A Board of Tmstees will approve research projects and grants establish policy and generally promote the Pet Trust Annual reports will also be issued

DOES P EQUAL NP By Mary Dickieson

Pub lic Relations and Informa tion

One of the most perplexing proshyblems in computer science may have been solved by Professor Ted Swan who has a joint appointment in the departments of Mathematics and Statistics and Computing and Inforshymation Science He has written a paper offering proof that P=NP To the layman th is means that we will now be able to solve problems that we formerly thought we could not he says

Professor Bill Smith chair of the Department of Mathematics and Statisshytics says that if Dr Swarts results are verified they will really be quite earth-shattering and exceptional shyof far -reaching significance in mathematics

Dr Swart cautions that the jury is stili ou t on whether his approach will be proved or disproved by his peers but already his pronouncement has caused a stir in the computer world The findings are of considerable interest to everyone working in this area says Professor Smith and they are an important contribution to the problem whether or not they are eventually accepted as stated

Dr Swart says his results are bound to be met by a great deal of proshyfessional suspicion because they are contrary to the prevailing thought Most people think that P does not equal P

Although the results are still theoreshytical Professor Smith and Dr Swart agree they could have a number of practical applications Industry commerce finance and most other sectors of society that use computers could benefit from Dr Swart s adshyvancement of one of the ftmdamental aspects of computer science the use of algorithms

People solve problems on comshyputers by using precisely defined sets of steps called algOrithms says Dr_ Swart Of the two classes ofcomputer problems class P refers to those for which good polynomial time

algorithms exist enabling them to be solved effiCiently on a computer Dr Swart cites the example of the minishymal connector problem which asks for a scheme to cormect a group of cities by telephone wires in such a way that the amount of wire used is minima l Good algori thms allow this problem to be solved easily regardshyless of the number ofcities involved he says

Computer problems in the second class - NP - are considered hard to solve_Large problems in this cateshygory cannot be solved on even the most powerful computers in the world because there are no algorithms that allow solution of the problem without escalating the number of calculations to a level beyond the capacity of computers Dr Swart says there are at least 1 000 known examples of proshyblems in this class of which the travelling salesman problem is one of the best known Even for a relatively small group of cities such as the 50 US capitals there has been no solushytion to the problem of devising a route that will enable a salesman to visit each ci ty only once while trashyvelling a mininlal distance

My results say these two classes of problems are equal and that there do exist good algorithms for solving this type of computer problem he says

To prove his results Dr Swarts paper cites a similar problem the Hamilton circuit which is illustrated by asking the question Can you visit each of several cities in succession Without backtracking

Dr Swarts problem establishes that the Hamilton circuit problem can be solved in polynomial time by conshyverting a mathematical programming formulation of the problem into a linear programming formulation and using existing polynomial ti me algorithms as established by Kachiyan and Kannarkar

The Significant feature of these results is that they will enable comshyputers to tackle larger problems with more unknowns and get the results more quickly

COMPUTER SCIENCE PROGRAM APPEALS TO STUDENTS

Guelphs new masters program in computer science which enrolled its fi rst students last September aims to move advanced information techshynology out of the research laboratory and into practical application says co-ordinator Professor Tom Wi on It combines graduate courses in the latest research developments with an applied thesis

Because there are only 13 students each has what can be called a tailorshymade program says Professor Wilson The Department of Computing and Information Science plans to accept another seven students this September and expects enrolment to grow to 30 with in the next few years - deshypending on the availability of faculty and space Even with that number the program will be smaller than others in the province so the level of personal contact and flexibil ity will remain high

Students in the program are often involved in problems that are of interest to other departments About two-thirds of the students are Guelph graduates - many with double degrees

TI1e undergraduate backgrounds of the students range from medicinal chemistry to philosophy and their research interests are just as varied as the following profiles indicate

RETIRING PROFESSOR HONORED

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry hosted a symposium in the spring on the molecular mechanshyisms underlying vertebrate visual transduction The symposium honored Professor Bill Abrahamson who retired May 1 It provided a review of current approaches to a field in which Professor AbJhamson s

communication He is developing softshyware that will allow dolphin comshymunication researchers at the nivershysity of Hawaii to extract information from a database using a natural language such as English rather than a computer language This would free them from having to learn comshyplex computer skills

Karl whose thesis adviser is Proshyfessor Mary Mcleish travelled to Hawaii in April to install a natural language processing system at the Kewalo Basin Marine Mammal laborashytory and to become more fami liar with the computers available there A graduate of Gue lph s computer science program Karl at 0 has an undergraduate degree in medicinal chemistry from Concordia University and has done graduate work in neuroshyscience at McMaster Medical Centre

Howard Pel ls special interest is fibre optics and their use in wide-area communication networks sing light instead of electricity offers amazing capabilities he says because teleshyphone television and computer data can be transmitted over a single piece of pi astie

Howard who is working under Professor Wilson has a joint BA C86) from Guelph in computer science and philosophy The undershygraouate program in computer science focused more on software says Howard but his preference is hardware The master s program allows him to devote his time to this first love

contributions are widely appreciated Speakers included Dr Barry Honig

of Columbia University New York Dr Roger LeBlanc University of Quebec Trois-Rivieres Dr Edward Pugh University of Pennsylvania Ph ilade lphia and Dr Meredith Applebury Purdue University West Lafayette Indiana

During 20 years of service to the niversity Dr Powell served two

terms as Director of the School of Human Biology and Chairman of the Department of Human Kinetics Through his guidance the Department ofHuman Kintlics was established as part of the new College of Biological Science in 1971 and after retiring he received the College s first Merishytorious Service Medal

With the untimely death of Walter Vaughan in late 1983 the call came from the Presidents office to fill Secretary of Senate Dr Powell plugged the gap for seven months fulfilling his goal to serve at the University as well as the College and departrnentallevels

In 1983 the Faculty Association presented Dr Powell with the first University of Guelph Special Merit Award in recognition of teaching excellence curriculum development and dedication to his students

Included among Dr Powells achishyevements is the initiation of the Human Kinetics Student Symposium in 1971 This undertaking has become a popular annual campus event

Dr Powell served as Honorary Preshysident of the Human Kinetics Alumni Association from 1971 -83 and served as editor of both the Bio-Sci News in the Guelph Alumnus and the Human Kinetics Newsletter The Human Kinetics Alumn i Association has honored him with a scholarship in his nanle

When he arrived at Guelph in 1965 Dr Powell initiated and for five days a week still leads the CardioshyVascular Club This club has brought a genuine enjoyment of exercise into

the lives ofDr Powells many disciples In 1983 a film featuring the CardioshyVascular Club funded by the Univershysity of Guelph Alumni Association won acdaim from the Czechoslovashykian government The film was later shown in Budapest at the request of the Hungarian government Dr Powell was honored by Premier WilIian1 Davis in 1985 for his specific conshytrihution to cardiov-Scular rehabilishytation

For 15 years Or Powell has been a member of the I nternational Olympic Academy an institution that develops the theory ethics and procedures for the Olympic Games His contribution to the Academy was recognized by the He llenic Olympic Committee when it conferred upon him the prestigious rank of Collaborator and awarded him a silver medallion_ He also received one of two silver commemorative medals presented to Canadians in 1986 for devoted work to the youth of the world through the International Olympic Academy since 1972

Dr Powell has come up with a definition for the word Olympism wh ich has been officially accepted by the Canadian Olympic Association

PROFESSOR EMERITUS

PrOfessor emeritus status was bestowed on Professor John George Department of Zoology at spring convocation

Born and educated in India Proshyfessor George joined the University of Baroda in 1950 as the first head of its zoology department and over the next decade developed one of the leading zoology departments in India He came to Guelph as professor of zoology in 1967 a pOSition he held until his retirement in 1986

Twice a Fulbright FeUow Professor George has been an invited speaker at

Dr john Powel~ Left receives MedaL afMeritfrom Chancelor William A StfnVart at spring convocation

The word was first used in 1896 and continued to be used but had never been defined middotThe definition states that olympism is a harmony of ideas and ideals that affinn the value of Olympic sport in promoting and developing physical and moral quali shyties in individuals and in contributing to a better and more peaceful world by enabling nations to meet in an atmosphere of mutual respect and international amity

One word that Dr Powell hasnt come up with a definition for is retirement A self-proclaimed people person he continues to remain active on campus through the Human Kinetics Symposia and the Cardio-Vascular eurolub and also conshyducts back rehabilitation clinics through Medical Services As long as people need him he will have contrishybutions to make Im a very thankful man he says

PROFESSOR RETIRES

Drw George Barker was honored on his retirement recently at a dinner and reception hosted by the Departshyment of Botany Dr Barkers career in plant science includes two periods at the University of Guelph From 1972 to 1983 he was chair of the Depart shyment of Botany and Genetics in the newly-formed College of Biological Science and was instrumental in guiding the department into new strengths in Botany Ecology and Genetics The emerging Genetics section became the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics in 1983

Dr Barker a native of Stratford served in Europe during World War II as a captain in the Provost Company of the Canadian Army On his return he earned his BSe (1947 ) and MSc ( 1949 ) at the University of Western Ontario His masters thesis was con shycerned with the effect of ethyl carbashymate on mitotic activity in plants This biologically-active compound recently made headlines as a contashyminant of certain wines

In 1953 Dr Barker received his PhD from the University ofMichigan for h is thesis on the proliferation of bass wood taken from 50-year-old trunk tissue demonstrating that these cells retained full developmental capashycity From this time on Dr Barker has maintained an interest in plant tissue culture

From 1952-54Dr Barker was assisshytant professor in the Department of Botany ( then OAC) During this period he perfected the technique of produci ng tubers in vitro This approach remains a cornerstone of modem biotechnology with potatoes

From 1955 to 1960 Dr Barker worked with the United Fmit Comshypany in Costa Rica Honduras and at Cornell developing practical methods of banana propagation still in wideshyspread use and carrying out basic studies on morphology and anatomy He became co-ordinator of research on lowbush blueberries at the Agri shyc ultural Rese a r c h Stat ion in Frederic ton and in 1964 w as appointed Director of the Biological Teaching Unit University of Manitoba

Dr W George Barker

When Dr Barker returned to Guelph in 1972 he llsed his long shyestablished experience in basic and applied research and teaching to build a new department in a new College He leaves behind a strong teaching department which also has an estab shyli shed in ternational research reputalion

Dr Keith Ronald director of the Arboretum and former dean of CBS announced that a Scotch pine in the Arboretum had been dedicated in honor of Dr Barkers contribution to all aipects ofUniversity life Dr Bruce Sells dean of CBS emphasized Dr Barkers pivotaJ role in initiating strong programs in three areas of biological science and presented him with a chair on behalf of the College Dr ] Derek Bewley present chair of Botany thanked Dr Barker for his help and guidance and presented a VCR from the 100 alumni students staff and faculty members in attendance at the dinner

INDUSTRY TASK FORCE REVIEWS IFM PROGRAM

A task force representing senior levels of the dietetic profession and institutional foodservice management met on campus earlier this year to advise the School of Hotel and Food Administration ( HAFA ) about the development of its Institutional Foodshyservice Management Program ( IFM ) The task force convened by FACS Dean Richard Barham is part ofHAFAs review of the IFM program one of two majors offered in the Bachelor of Commerce honors program

Included on the task force are the preside n t and executive vic e shypresident of Canadas two largest institutional foodservice management firms as well as the vice-president of the countrys largest nursing home chain

Discussion focused on intermediate and long-term plans of HAFA faculty The task force supports curriculum revisions designed to strengthen the nutrit ion and b iological science components of the IFM major The program prepares graduates for intern shyships as adn inistrative dietitians although some graduates choose to follow careers in institutional food middot service outside dietetics

The task force al so support s graduate training in administration for dietetic professionals There is a need for such a progran1 among therashypeutic dietitians seeking to shift their field of practice [Q administration and among administrative dietitians who wish to improve their qualifi shycations The task force also feels that a masters degree would be an appro shypriate alternat ive to a dietetic internship

The task force discussed the need for programs of continuing pro shyfessional education It supports proposals to develop more courses in continuing education as it relates [Q

administrative dietetics

CSS GRAD AIMS FOR OLYMPIC GOLD Andre Bordeleau C5S 79 MA 85 is determined to earn an Olympic gold medal in running game target shooting - no matter how long it takes

It may take a long time Im a late bloomer but I figure I have another 20 years to try Age is not a big problem in my sport and at least J didnt have to sacrifice my childhood to get where I am today says the 30-yearmiddotold political science graduate

Running game target requires the shooter using a 22-caJibre rifle to hit a wild pig moving on a 10-metre rail at 72 mph 144 mph or mixed speed middot from a distance of 50 metres There are many different versions of the sport but the Olympic discipline consists of 30 shots at the slower speed (slow runs ) and 30 at the faster speed ( fast runs)

Andre Bordeleau CSS 79 MA 85 is aimingfor O~yrnpic gold in running game target shooting

The CSSAlumniAssociation cut a cake during Alumni Weekend to celebrate its 10th anniversary Taking part were lef t to right Sandra Couch and Barbara Chance board directorsjohn Aviano newpresident and his wife Inara and facui~y advisor Victor Ujim

Andre became captivated by the sport of shooting when he had a job as an offi cial d river at the L976 Olympics in Montreal

Like most French-Canadian boys I wanted to p lay hockey for the Montreal Canadiens I have the size - 6-feet-l and 215 pounds - bUl there is a problem I cant skate Something to do with small curvatures in my spine nothing serious but enough to throw out my balance So since I couldnt be a professional hockey player I decided to become an Olympic amateur athlete

In pursuit of his goal Andre left his home in Montreal to study at the

niversity of Guelph in 1976 I wanted to srudy some place like Ontario where I could become bishylingual and Guelph was one of only three universities in the province with a rifle range he explains The University of Guelph Rifle Team won three Ontario championships from 1979-81

Andre started out on the Universitys rifle team shooting at stationary tarmiddot gets bu t decided to concentrate on running gan1e because it is more suited to his hyperactive personality He went to the Canadian championships in 1977 and placed ninth At a national competition in 1981 he set two Canadian records one of which stood for three years In 1984 he won the provincial championships and set a provincial record which still stands Also in 1984 he was invited to the Olympic trials and despite sustaining a concussion in a car accident on the first day of shooting he placed third Unfortunately only the first and second place winners qualified for the Olympics

In 1986 Andre went to his first international match the World Championships in East Gemlany He shot below his average and placed 46th in the 10 metre air rifle event an indoor scaled-down version ofmnning game target

1 was disappointed but I learned a lot Before I went [wasnt ranked in

24

the world at all At least now Im ranked he says

Undaunted he is currently training for the 1988 Olympics with national running game target team coach Dick Esseltine of Peterborough and he tries to practise at the Guelph rifle range eve1 day

Running game target shooting re shyquires concentration physica l stamina eye-band co-ordination and balance But staying in financial shape is a bigger challenge for Andre than staying physically fit Unable to find a job relating to his degrees he works as a night supervisor at Stonehenge a drug rehabilitation ce ntre near Guelph While he meets his liing expenses he is struggling to pay back stude nt loans and keep up with expenses incurred as an amateur athlete

Although he estimates he has dug a 860000 hole since making the move to Guelph and devoting himself to shootinghe has no regrets He says Guelph has been a good experience culturally and linguistically He views it as the place where he started a rich amateur career and as he plods on toward Olympic gold he takes satisshyfaction in his many smaller accomshyplishments

I believe in pursuing excellence Ive set the ultimate goal ( OLympic gold) and Im going to do my best to achieve it

INDUSTRIAL ORGAN IZA TIONAL

PSYCHOLOGY MEETS GROWING DEMAND

Ahigh demand for industrial psychoshylogists in Canada has led the Departshyment of Psychology to introduce a new graduate option

I ndllstriallOrganizaliorudPsychoshylogy is being added to the masters program for specialized training which could lead to work in personncl management job dcsign and analysis organizational consulting or health and safety in the workplace

The demand for industriaL PSTchoshylogists has been brought about by rapidly changing technology business growth and legislation in the areas of workplace safety human rights equal pay amI equal employment opportuni shyties Because there are few structured graduate programs in Canada to meet this need industrial psychologists have receiytd their training in the US Othe rs have trained themselves on the job

Steven Cranshaw who earned his PhD in industrial organizational

psychology at the University ofAkron is developing the new program at Guelph He was formerly at thc Univershysity of Waterloo and is currently chairman of the industrialorganizashytional section of the Canadian Psychoshylogical Association

The department is also pursuing a joint PhD program in industrial organizational psychology with the University of Waterloo It will offer training to the highest professionaJ standards in orth America

IVAN TAYLOR A FRIEND TO STUDENTS AND HORSES

Duringhis 39 years ar the University Ivan Taylor attended the births of more than 300 foals So it was not surprising thal he had a connection with one of the Percherons used in the ground breaking ceremony which marked the start of construction of the Equine Research Centre this spring Ivan was present at the birth of the Percherons mother Duchess bred at OAC

Hes likely forgotten more about horses than the rest of us could ever hope ro learn in the first place an onlooker at the ceremony was overshyheard to say about Ivan

The onlooker could have been any one of hundreds of students Ivan trained to show and care for horses over the years

He had an interest in people as well as horses and whenever a student needed help he was there He was practical dependable conscientious and extremely knowledgeable about horses His equine talents were outstanding says Bruce Stone OAC 53 MSA 54 Associate Dean ofOAC

Ivan first acquired a feel for horses as a youngster on his fathers farm When he began working at OAC in 1946 he was known as a teamster someone who drove teams of horses to do the tleld work There was only one tractor at the University so horseshypower got most of the work done Ivan recalls spending several hours a week cleaning and shining the brassshymounted harness worn by the horses at that time

When asked about his skill with horses Ivan modestly attributes it to the late Professor Orval Kennedy with whom he worked for many years

At first we had 80 ro 100 horses We used some for work and some to teach field husbandry We even used them to take students on sleigh rides We broke in a lot of colts he says

Ivan remembers in particular training six horse hitches to pur on displays at Farm and Home Week an

OAC eveOl which lasted until the mid sixries He says he always looked forward to helping students prepare and rrain their horses for College Royal as well

In the sixties the College began to dispense wirh heavy draught horses until eventually it just had some light horses Ivan finished out his niversity career apound manager of the bull tesring station at Arkell

Dr Claire Rennie OAC 47 assistant deputy minister OMAF says During my years in the Department of Animal and Poultry Science at the UniverSity I was thankful many times thar we had a person like Ivan responsible for specific operations at rhe Arkell Research Sration He managed the beef bull performance testing promiddot gram as though ir was his very own

Ivan retired in May 1986 He now works part-time in the wholesale business and sometimes judges horses at fall fairs

Dr Russ Willoughby OVC 57

director of the Equine Research Centre invited Ivan to participate in the ground breaking ceremony because he is a very fine man who has helped hundreds ofpeople at this

niversity He was the key person looking after OLLr horses for many years

Ivan says It was a nice honor to be there

DONATE TO PATIO

SOIL EROSION GETS SPECIAL ATTENTION

T he new Centre for Soil and Water Conservation will provide a focal point for research on the degradation of soil and water resources says the Centres director Land Resource Science Professor Murray Miller OAC 53

Soil erosion costs Ontario farmers an estimated $68 million a year in nutriem and yield losses says Dr Miller [n 19S4 a Senate report on soil conservation described erosion as the most serious agricultural crisis in Canadas history and predicted the loss of a major portion of Canadas agricultural capability ifprompt action were not taken

The loss of productive topsoil is not the only problem Soil erosion is the cause of major pollution of Ontarios Great Lakes Runoff from farm land is the source of about twoshythirds of the phosphorus that is desshytroying marine life in Lake Erie Dr Miller says

The problem has become so serious that the federal government and province of Ontario have agreed to spend 830 million over tlve years to reduce phosphorus inputs to the lakes And the Omario Ministry of Agriculshyntre and Food has established a soiJ

TURFGRASS INSTITUTE The University will become a centre of Canadian turfgrass research edushycation and extension now that Senate has given the go-ahead to establish a Guelph Turfgrass Institute (GTI)

Sponsored by the Ontario Ministry ofAgriculrure and Food the niversity and the turfgrass industry GTI - the first centre of its kind in Canada shywill be housed in a new building on Stone Road

GTI will support a provincial turfshygrass industry valued at more than 240 million It will create a favorable

environment for research in turfgrass science an extension program and courses and seminars in ntrfgrass

Dr Murray Miller OAC 53

and water management branch to put greater emphasis on this area

There is a serious need for research on soil and water conservation says Dr Miller and Guelph will be much better able to meet that need with a co-ordlnated program on campus

About 25 tlculty members in various disciplines at the University have expershytise in soil and water conservation Dr Miller expects the Centre to increase the visibility and accessibility of Guelphs expertise allowing Guelph to assist government industry and other groups with soil and water conservation problems

One of the Centres first contracts is with Agriculture Canadas Soil and Water Environmental Enhancement Program to prepare an in-depth background report on soil and water conservation in southwestern Ontario

production and management at the associate diploma undergraduate and graduate levels

Turfgrass research has gone on well here since its beginnings back in the 1940s says Professor Lee Burpee Environmental Biology who has been working with colleagues for two years to establish a lurfgrass institute GTI would put us all together encourage diSCUSSion help morale and give us and the ulrfgrass industry more visishybiliry Six faculry in three departments are involved in turfgrass research In 1985 S6 the UniversityS turfgrass scientists spent more than SOO hours on extension activities

OAC BONSPIEL AND HOCKEY

HORTICULTURALISTS FILE PATENT APPLICATION FOR TRIAZINEmiddotRESISTANT CROPS

By Owen Roberts O ffice of Research

One of the few places where farmers still have to hack at weeds with a hand hoe is among their rows ofbroccoIi cabbage cauliflower and Brussels sprouts - the cole crops Few effective herbicides exist for these crops The need for manual labor has kept the hoe busy but slowed the development of a Canadian cole crop industry

A breakthrough at the University however could not only make hand hoeing a chore of the past but heighten the importance of cole crops in Canadian agriculture Dr Renald Ayotte OAC 82 and a recent PhD graduate in Horticultural Science and his supervisors Professors Pat f lamey and Vince Souza-Machado OAC PhD 76 have filed a patent application for cole crops varieties that are resistant to the triazine fanli1y of herbicides

ormally these broad leaf plants are killed by triazine herbicides but the new plants have genetic traits that make them invulnerable to that common herbicide group Dr Ayotte says this research will find immediate application in the field

The secret is the development of a seed with triazine-resistant cytoplasm he says By cro sbreeding and backshycrossing cole crops with spring rapeshyseed (a Guelph-developed triazineshyresistant plant) the researchers created new plant bearing the nuclear genes of the cole crops and the ltylOplasmic genes of the rapeseed The result is a triazine-resistant cole crop

Breeding herbicide resistance into plants is a relatively new way of dealing with weeds in horticultural crops The traditional chemical approach has been [Q develop new compounds or extend the use of established herbicides to crops But because of the increasing costs of research and development the unshyattractive economics of herbicides for low-acreage crops and the strinshygent controls over registration standard few horticultural herbicides

Dr Renald Ayotte OAC 82

have been brought onstream It is these factors that led to this col crop project Dr Ayone says

The development of the traizineshyresistant plants could have a wideshy

spread effect on the production of cole crops which are gaining inshycreasing a c eptance by health shyconscious consumers Cauliflower sales in Canada for example have doubled over the last five years to about 824 million annuaUy

Controlling broadIeaf weed species like wild mustard and shepherds purse will not onJy reduce weed competi tion with the cole crop plants but eradicate al ternative hosts of pests and disease says Dr Ayotte And the mechanical harvesting of cole crops will be made easier by the absence of tall weeds which can clog harvesting equipment

In addition to eliminating the need fo r hand hoeing the plants will offer farmers new alternatives in crop selection says Dr Ayotte

Response by seed companies to the triazine resi tance has been good says Chris Ostrovski technology devel o pment offi cer Offi ce of Research He expects the plants (Q be popular with cole crop producers thro ughout North America and Europe as well as in China where cole crops are a staple of the diet

RESEARCH BOOSTED BY MINISTRY RELOCATION

~ricultural research at the Univershysity will benefit from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food (OMAF) decision to move its headshyquarters and over 500 staff from Toronto to Guelph

The ministrys relocation here signals and solidifies the Universitys position as the leading agricultural research institution in Canada says Dr Larry Milligan Dean of Research It is a major step toward our goal of establishing the niversity as a world centre for sustained agricultural research and technology transfer

The decision to relocate OMAF headquarters is consistent with the Ontario governments decentrali shy

zation program The announcement was part of the April 28 throne peech Relocation is expected to be complete by 1991

In 1987-88 OMAF will contribute over S31 million towards agricultural research education and services at the UniverSity This funding helps support 478 agricultural research proshyjects at OAC and OVe

No other university in Canada has the very special and entirely compleshymentary relationship with its primary external research funding source that Guelph shares with OMM says Dr Milligan With the relocation that rapport can onJy grow

OVC GRADUATE HELPS SLEEPING CHILDREN AROUND THE WORLD

Give a child a comfortable nights rest and it helps to take his mind off his hunger and conserve his energy for the demands of the next day

That s the philosophy behind Sleeping Children Around the World (SCAW) a registered Canadian charitshyable organization founded by Murray and the late Margaret Dryden parents of National Hockey League goalshytenders Dave and Ken It s an organishyzation that has given Dr Gordon S BroW11 OVC 45 of Harrow a very rewarding purpose in li fe since retirement

Gordon opened a veterinary pracshytice in Essex in 1946 and was joined 11 years later by Dr Douglas McKelvie OVC 47 The practice evolved into a busy one treating both large and small animals but a car accident in 1980 made it impossible for Gordon to continue with the large animal part He sold the practice and opened a small animal clinic in Kingsville which he operated until retiring in 1986

While on an Alaskan cruise in 1977 Gordon and his wife June met the Drydens who told them about SCAW

We were impressed with their compassion for the oppressed chilshydren in the Third World countries and their strong desire to help by supplying comfort reports Gordon

The Browns became close friends with the Drydens and began to support their precious project In 1982 Murray Dryden invited Gordon to join him in distributing bed-kits in the Third World Each kit consists of a groundsheet mattress shee ts bl anket pillow and pillow case pajamas clothing and sometimes mosquito netting

SCAW is supported by private donashytion Every dollar donated is used to provide the bed-kits nothing is siphoned off for administration or travel expenses The money is sent to existing organizations in Third World countries like Rotary Kiwanis the Salvation Army Canadian Jesuits and

Dr Gordon S Brown OVC 45 and his wife June

Pentecostal missionaries It is their responsibility to purchase materials and have the ki ts made up

When I saw first -hand the tremen shydous need and joy upon receiving the bed-kits on that first trip [ had to continue and make this project a part of my life says Gordon He has now made four trips at his 0W11 expense iOlO India and the Hin1alayas Pakistan Bangladesh Sri Lanka Thailand and the Philippines On the last two trips his wife has accompanied him and become equally enthusiastic They make the trips to witness the distrishy

bution of the ki ts and take photos of the children holding the kits and labels with the donors names on them These photos are then sent to the donors as proof that the kits are being received

Each trip takes the Browns away from their home six to seven weeks in February and March This year 12000 bed-kits will be distributed

A 1985 SCAW newsletter reports on one distribution scene In Sri Lanka the Inner Wheel (Wives of Rotarians ) intricately planned a week of d istributions in 13 d ifferent locations One was a refugee camp where a few hundred people driven out of the northern part of the island by the Tamils had taken refuge in a Catholic Church Theywere sleeping on the cement floor inety of these fami lies had witnessed their husbands and fathers lined up and shot A water tnIck came in once a day as well as a food truck We had only 100 kits for this great need Our hearts really wenl out to these people

RADIATION EQUIPMENT FURTHERS CANCER RESEARCH

A donation of orthovoltage and cobalt radiation equipment from Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto will enable OVC to establish a radioshytherapy unit in its small animal clinic by the end of the year The gift of the used equipment will cut the estimated $250000 cost of the unit by ahout half Funds are being sought from alumni and other sources for site development of the unit

The hospital learned ofoves need for a unit while involved in joint research on the radiation treatment of dogs with lymphoma cancer in 1983 Princess Margaret researchers developed a way to preserve bone marrow while irradiating the entire body The new treatment had exeelshy

lent potential to extend remission limes in patienrs Because canine and human lymphomas arc s imilar Princess Margaret officials asked ave to carry out research on dogs using the hospitals facilities

OVC researchers treated 14 dogs with lymphoma In II of those the tumors decreased significantly in size and did not reappear in some cases until SlX months later Without treat shyment veterinarians expected the dogs had about a month to live TIle results were encouraging although not at all conclusive because of the small number of research subjects

The project stopped in 1985 pri shymarily because of staffing and space

constraints at Princess Margaret When the new radiotherapy unit is in place veterinarians wi ll resume research to find ways of increasing the duration of the effectiveness of radiation treatment Princeslt Margaret rtsearchers will explore human applications

The research could lead to work in other cancers that act similarly in dogs and humans such as osteoshysarcoma the disease suffered by Terry Fox

NEW DEPARTMENT TO FOCUS ON HEALTH OF GROUPS

A new department of population medicine at ove is focusing on tbe health of groups of animals rathe r than individuals particularly on-farm species

The department draws personnel from the departments of Clinical Studies and Veterinary Microbiology and Immunology

OVC Dean Ole Nielsen says its important for the College to have a department whose basic philosophy is concerned with the health of the group rather than the individual Its particularly important for the agri shyculnlre industry because modern food

production tends to work with large groups

Population medicine is the study of the frequency distribution and cost of disease and the inter-relationships among disease managemem enshyvironment and productivity It also involves applied strategies for health management and the prevention and control of disease

Dr ielsen says population medishyc ine is in line with the new health maintenance orientation of courses in OVCs new curriculum and it capitalizes on many ofOllr streng[hs It is also in Line with the needs of

vcterinary medicine in the future he says

As we move to larger and more complex farming operations and the economic crunch worsens there will be more emphaSiS on effiCiency and cost-effectiveness he says Population medicine is concerned with the disshytribution causes and costs of disease in animals There is emphasis on numeracy using quantitative data to measure the cost benefits of health care

Dr Nielsen says the new department will put ove in the forefront in thc modern approach to health maintenshyance in food-pn ducing animals

Dve BRIEFLY

Ove has launched a new fundshyraising p roject called Pet Trust The object is to raise money for research into problems and diseases affecting small or companion animals to further work already proceeding in such areas as oncology ophthalmology orthoshypedics reconsrmctive surgery organ dysfunction lOaesthesia infectious diseases animal behavior and human animal bonding and to provide fu nds for fellowships

Kits containing information about the program have been sent out to every veterinary practice in Ontario and response has been heartening

A Board of Tmstees will approve research projects and grants establish policy and generally promote the Pet Trust Annual reports will also be issued

DOES P EQUAL NP By Mary Dickieson

Pub lic Relations and Informa tion

One of the most perplexing proshyblems in computer science may have been solved by Professor Ted Swan who has a joint appointment in the departments of Mathematics and Statistics and Computing and Inforshymation Science He has written a paper offering proof that P=NP To the layman th is means that we will now be able to solve problems that we formerly thought we could not he says

Professor Bill Smith chair of the Department of Mathematics and Statisshytics says that if Dr Swarts results are verified they will really be quite earth-shattering and exceptional shyof far -reaching significance in mathematics

Dr Swart cautions that the jury is stili ou t on whether his approach will be proved or disproved by his peers but already his pronouncement has caused a stir in the computer world The findings are of considerable interest to everyone working in this area says Professor Smith and they are an important contribution to the problem whether or not they are eventually accepted as stated

Dr Swart says his results are bound to be met by a great deal of proshyfessional suspicion because they are contrary to the prevailing thought Most people think that P does not equal P

Although the results are still theoreshytical Professor Smith and Dr Swart agree they could have a number of practical applications Industry commerce finance and most other sectors of society that use computers could benefit from Dr Swart s adshyvancement of one of the ftmdamental aspects of computer science the use of algorithms

People solve problems on comshyputers by using precisely defined sets of steps called algOrithms says Dr_ Swart Of the two classes ofcomputer problems class P refers to those for which good polynomial time

algorithms exist enabling them to be solved effiCiently on a computer Dr Swart cites the example of the minishymal connector problem which asks for a scheme to cormect a group of cities by telephone wires in such a way that the amount of wire used is minima l Good algori thms allow this problem to be solved easily regardshyless of the number ofcities involved he says

Computer problems in the second class - NP - are considered hard to solve_Large problems in this cateshygory cannot be solved on even the most powerful computers in the world because there are no algorithms that allow solution of the problem without escalating the number of calculations to a level beyond the capacity of computers Dr Swart says there are at least 1 000 known examples of proshyblems in this class of which the travelling salesman problem is one of the best known Even for a relatively small group of cities such as the 50 US capitals there has been no solushytion to the problem of devising a route that will enable a salesman to visit each ci ty only once while trashyvelling a mininlal distance

My results say these two classes of problems are equal and that there do exist good algorithms for solving this type of computer problem he says

To prove his results Dr Swarts paper cites a similar problem the Hamilton circuit which is illustrated by asking the question Can you visit each of several cities in succession Without backtracking

Dr Swarts problem establishes that the Hamilton circuit problem can be solved in polynomial time by conshyverting a mathematical programming formulation of the problem into a linear programming formulation and using existing polynomial ti me algorithms as established by Kachiyan and Kannarkar

The Significant feature of these results is that they will enable comshyputers to tackle larger problems with more unknowns and get the results more quickly

COMPUTER SCIENCE PROGRAM APPEALS TO STUDENTS

Guelphs new masters program in computer science which enrolled its fi rst students last September aims to move advanced information techshynology out of the research laboratory and into practical application says co-ordinator Professor Tom Wi on It combines graduate courses in the latest research developments with an applied thesis

Because there are only 13 students each has what can be called a tailorshymade program says Professor Wilson The Department of Computing and Information Science plans to accept another seven students this September and expects enrolment to grow to 30 with in the next few years - deshypending on the availability of faculty and space Even with that number the program will be smaller than others in the province so the level of personal contact and flexibil ity will remain high

Students in the program are often involved in problems that are of interest to other departments About two-thirds of the students are Guelph graduates - many with double degrees

TI1e undergraduate backgrounds of the students range from medicinal chemistry to philosophy and their research interests are just as varied as the following profiles indicate

CSS GRAD AIMS FOR OLYMPIC GOLD Andre Bordeleau C5S 79 MA 85 is determined to earn an Olympic gold medal in running game target shooting - no matter how long it takes

It may take a long time Im a late bloomer but I figure I have another 20 years to try Age is not a big problem in my sport and at least J didnt have to sacrifice my childhood to get where I am today says the 30-yearmiddotold political science graduate

Running game target requires the shooter using a 22-caJibre rifle to hit a wild pig moving on a 10-metre rail at 72 mph 144 mph or mixed speed middot from a distance of 50 metres There are many different versions of the sport but the Olympic discipline consists of 30 shots at the slower speed (slow runs ) and 30 at the faster speed ( fast runs)

Andre Bordeleau CSS 79 MA 85 is aimingfor O~yrnpic gold in running game target shooting

The CSSAlumniAssociation cut a cake during Alumni Weekend to celebrate its 10th anniversary Taking part were lef t to right Sandra Couch and Barbara Chance board directorsjohn Aviano newpresident and his wife Inara and facui~y advisor Victor Ujim

Andre became captivated by the sport of shooting when he had a job as an offi cial d river at the L976 Olympics in Montreal

Like most French-Canadian boys I wanted to p lay hockey for the Montreal Canadiens I have the size - 6-feet-l and 215 pounds - bUl there is a problem I cant skate Something to do with small curvatures in my spine nothing serious but enough to throw out my balance So since I couldnt be a professional hockey player I decided to become an Olympic amateur athlete

In pursuit of his goal Andre left his home in Montreal to study at the

niversity of Guelph in 1976 I wanted to srudy some place like Ontario where I could become bishylingual and Guelph was one of only three universities in the province with a rifle range he explains The University of Guelph Rifle Team won three Ontario championships from 1979-81

Andre started out on the Universitys rifle team shooting at stationary tarmiddot gets bu t decided to concentrate on running gan1e because it is more suited to his hyperactive personality He went to the Canadian championships in 1977 and placed ninth At a national competition in 1981 he set two Canadian records one of which stood for three years In 1984 he won the provincial championships and set a provincial record which still stands Also in 1984 he was invited to the Olympic trials and despite sustaining a concussion in a car accident on the first day of shooting he placed third Unfortunately only the first and second place winners qualified for the Olympics

In 1986 Andre went to his first international match the World Championships in East Gemlany He shot below his average and placed 46th in the 10 metre air rifle event an indoor scaled-down version ofmnning game target

1 was disappointed but I learned a lot Before I went [wasnt ranked in

24

the world at all At least now Im ranked he says

Undaunted he is currently training for the 1988 Olympics with national running game target team coach Dick Esseltine of Peterborough and he tries to practise at the Guelph rifle range eve1 day

Running game target shooting re shyquires concentration physica l stamina eye-band co-ordination and balance But staying in financial shape is a bigger challenge for Andre than staying physically fit Unable to find a job relating to his degrees he works as a night supervisor at Stonehenge a drug rehabilitation ce ntre near Guelph While he meets his liing expenses he is struggling to pay back stude nt loans and keep up with expenses incurred as an amateur athlete

Although he estimates he has dug a 860000 hole since making the move to Guelph and devoting himself to shootinghe has no regrets He says Guelph has been a good experience culturally and linguistically He views it as the place where he started a rich amateur career and as he plods on toward Olympic gold he takes satisshyfaction in his many smaller accomshyplishments

I believe in pursuing excellence Ive set the ultimate goal ( OLympic gold) and Im going to do my best to achieve it

INDUSTRIAL ORGAN IZA TIONAL

PSYCHOLOGY MEETS GROWING DEMAND

Ahigh demand for industrial psychoshylogists in Canada has led the Departshyment of Psychology to introduce a new graduate option

I ndllstriallOrganizaliorudPsychoshylogy is being added to the masters program for specialized training which could lead to work in personncl management job dcsign and analysis organizational consulting or health and safety in the workplace

The demand for industriaL PSTchoshylogists has been brought about by rapidly changing technology business growth and legislation in the areas of workplace safety human rights equal pay amI equal employment opportuni shyties Because there are few structured graduate programs in Canada to meet this need industrial psychologists have receiytd their training in the US Othe rs have trained themselves on the job

Steven Cranshaw who earned his PhD in industrial organizational

psychology at the University ofAkron is developing the new program at Guelph He was formerly at thc Univershysity of Waterloo and is currently chairman of the industrialorganizashytional section of the Canadian Psychoshylogical Association

The department is also pursuing a joint PhD program in industrial organizational psychology with the University of Waterloo It will offer training to the highest professionaJ standards in orth America

Dr Cranshawsays a 198687 survey done by Canada Employment and Immigration lists industrial organil3shytional psychology as an area of high job demand in the near future As graduates of the Guelph program become finnly established in the work force it will become readily apparent that this University is pLaying a major ro le in improving the quality of working life

WHATS NEW IN THE DEPARTMENTS POLITICAL STUDIES In September the department will introduce a dis shytance education diploma program in Public Policy and Administrat ion taught by Professor Richard Phidd The comprehensive program conshysisting of 10 courses at the undershygraduate level will provide an inte llectuaJ component to the workshyplace experiences of profeSSionals Distance education makes the depart shyments programs and courses more widely available to people in the work force ECONOMICS Professor Louis

Christofides is the new department chairman A major change which will take place LInder his direction is the establishment of a PhD program in resource and environmental econo shymics Professor Christofidcs aJso plans to oversee a review of the undershygraduate program He says the review will determine whether an approshypriate core course sequence is in place and whether the curriculum can be improved More spacc and the recmitment of quality facu lty and graduate students are also among his goals

GEOGRAPHY The birth ofProfessor Barry Smits daughter March 3 had some frantic moments Hanna was born in the family car as the harried father-to-be sped through the night to Guelph General Hospital She was dubbed Speedy Smit by the hospital staff and is a sister for two-year-old Emily Mother Ruth Ann and the baby came through the experience none the worse for wear but Professor Smit m ust have been glad to get back to the old routine of classes and lectures At least theyre fairly predictable

IVAN TAYLOR A FRIEND TO STUDENTS AND HORSES

Duringhis 39 years ar the University Ivan Taylor attended the births of more than 300 foals So it was not surprising thal he had a connection with one of the Percherons used in the ground breaking ceremony which marked the start of construction of the Equine Research Centre this spring Ivan was present at the birth of the Percherons mother Duchess bred at OAC

Hes likely forgotten more about horses than the rest of us could ever hope ro learn in the first place an onlooker at the ceremony was overshyheard to say about Ivan

The onlooker could have been any one of hundreds of students Ivan trained to show and care for horses over the years

He had an interest in people as well as horses and whenever a student needed help he was there He was practical dependable conscientious and extremely knowledgeable about horses His equine talents were outstanding says Bruce Stone OAC 53 MSA 54 Associate Dean ofOAC

Ivan first acquired a feel for horses as a youngster on his fathers farm When he began working at OAC in 1946 he was known as a teamster someone who drove teams of horses to do the tleld work There was only one tractor at the University so horseshypower got most of the work done Ivan recalls spending several hours a week cleaning and shining the brassshymounted harness worn by the horses at that time

When asked about his skill with horses Ivan modestly attributes it to the late Professor Orval Kennedy with whom he worked for many years

At first we had 80 ro 100 horses We used some for work and some to teach field husbandry We even used them to take students on sleigh rides We broke in a lot of colts he says

Ivan remembers in particular training six horse hitches to pur on displays at Farm and Home Week an

Ivan TaYD (above) attended the birth of this Percherons mother Duchess bred at OAC The horse was one of two owned by Cameron Shantz used for agrouncl-breaking ceremony Apnl29 to mark the start 0fconstruction ofthe Equine Research Centre

OAC eveOl which lasted until the mid sixries He says he always looked forward to helping students prepare and rrain their horses for College Royal as well

In the sixties the College began to dispense wirh heavy draught horses until eventually it just had some light horses Ivan finished out his niversity career apound manager of the bull tesring station at Arkell

Dr Claire Rennie OAC 47 assistant deputy minister OMAF says During my years in the Department of Animal and Poultry Science at the UniverSity I was thankful many times thar we had a person like Ivan responsible for specific operations at rhe Arkell Research Sration He managed the beef bull performance testing promiddot gram as though ir was his very own

Ivan retired in May 1986 He now works part-time in the wholesale business and sometimes judges horses at fall fairs

Dr Russ Willoughby OVC 57

director of the Equine Research Centre invited Ivan to participate in the ground breaking ceremony because he is a very fine man who has helped hundreds ofpeople at this

niversity He was the key person looking after OLLr horses for many years

Ivan says It was a nice honor to be there

DONATE TO PATIO

The classes ~f OAC86A and 87A have contributed $2000 and $I 500 respectively toward a patio for Alumni House The funds were raised through College Classic an annual conshysignment sale of dairy caltle starred by OAC 85A

SOIL EROSION GETS SPECIAL ATTENTION

T he new Centre for Soil and Water Conservation will provide a focal point for research on the degradation of soil and water resources says the Centres director Land Resource Science Professor Murray Miller OAC 53

Soil erosion costs Ontario farmers an estimated $68 million a year in nutriem and yield losses says Dr Miller [n 19S4 a Senate report on soil conservation described erosion as the most serious agricultural crisis in Canadas history and predicted the loss of a major portion of Canadas agricultural capability ifprompt action were not taken

The loss of productive topsoil is not the only problem Soil erosion is the cause of major pollution of Ontarios Great Lakes Runoff from farm land is the source of about twoshythirds of the phosphorus that is desshytroying marine life in Lake Erie Dr Miller says

The problem has become so serious that the federal government and province of Ontario have agreed to spend 830 million over tlve years to reduce phosphorus inputs to the lakes And the Omario Ministry of Agriculshyntre and Food has established a soiJ

TURFGRASS INSTITUTE The University will become a centre of Canadian turfgrass research edushycation and extension now that Senate has given the go-ahead to establish a Guelph Turfgrass Institute (GTI)

Sponsored by the Ontario Ministry ofAgriculrure and Food the niversity and the turfgrass industry GTI - the first centre of its kind in Canada shywill be housed in a new building on Stone Road

GTI will support a provincial turfshygrass industry valued at more than 240 million It will create a favorable

environment for research in turfgrass science an extension program and courses and seminars in ntrfgrass

Dr Murray Miller OAC 53

and water management branch to put greater emphasis on this area

There is a serious need for research on soil and water conservation says Dr Miller and Guelph will be much better able to meet that need with a co-ordlnated program on campus

About 25 tlculty members in various disciplines at the University have expershytise in soil and water conservation Dr Miller expects the Centre to increase the visibility and accessibility of Guelphs expertise allowing Guelph to assist government industry and other groups with soil and water conservation problems

One of the Centres first contracts is with Agriculture Canadas Soil and Water Environmental Enhancement Program to prepare an in-depth background report on soil and water conservation in southwestern Ontario

production and management at the associate diploma undergraduate and graduate levels

Turfgrass research has gone on well here since its beginnings back in the 1940s says Professor Lee Burpee Environmental Biology who has been working with colleagues for two years to establish a lurfgrass institute GTI would put us all together encourage diSCUSSion help morale and give us and the ulrfgrass industry more visishybiliry Six faculry in three departments are involved in turfgrass research In 1985 S6 the UniversityS turfgrass scientists spent more than SOO hours on extension activities

HORTICULTURALISTS FILE PATENT APPLICATION FOR TRIAZINEmiddotRESISTANT CROPS

By Owen Roberts O ffice of Research

One of the few places where farmers still have to hack at weeds with a hand hoe is among their rows ofbroccoIi cabbage cauliflower and Brussels sprouts - the cole crops Few effective herbicides exist for these crops The need for manual labor has kept the hoe busy but slowed the development of a Canadian cole crop industry

A breakthrough at the University however could not only make hand hoeing a chore of the past but heighten the importance of cole crops in Canadian agriculture Dr Renald Ayotte OAC 82 and a recent PhD graduate in Horticultural Science and his supervisors Professors Pat f lamey and Vince Souza-Machado OAC PhD 76 have filed a patent application for cole crops varieties that are resistant to the triazine fanli1y of herbicides

ormally these broad leaf plants are killed by triazine herbicides but the new plants have genetic traits that make them invulnerable to that common herbicide group Dr Ayotte says this research will find immediate application in the field

The secret is the development of a seed with triazine-resistant cytoplasm he says By cro sbreeding and backshycrossing cole crops with spring rapeshyseed (a Guelph-developed triazineshyresistant plant) the researchers created new plant bearing the nuclear genes of the cole crops and the ltylOplasmic genes of the rapeseed The result is a triazine-resistant cole crop

Breeding herbicide resistance into plants is a relatively new way of dealing with weeds in horticultural crops The traditional chemical approach has been [Q develop new compounds or extend the use of established herbicides to crops But because of the increasing costs of research and development the unshyattractive economics of herbicides for low-acreage crops and the strinshygent controls over registration standard few horticultural herbicides

Dr Renald Ayotte OAC 82

have been brought onstream It is these factors that led to this col crop project Dr Ayone says

The development of the traizineshyresistant plants could have a wideshy

spread effect on the production of cole crops which are gaining inshycreasing a c eptance by health shyconscious consumers Cauliflower sales in Canada for example have doubled over the last five years to about 824 million annuaUy

Controlling broadIeaf weed species like wild mustard and shepherds purse will not onJy reduce weed competi tion with the cole crop plants but eradicate al ternative hosts of pests and disease says Dr Ayotte And the mechanical harvesting of cole crops will be made easier by the absence of tall weeds which can clog harvesting equipment

In addition to eliminating the need fo r hand hoeing the plants will offer farmers new alternatives in crop selection says Dr Ayotte

Response by seed companies to the triazine resi tance has been good says Chris Ostrovski technology devel o pment offi cer Offi ce of Research He expects the plants (Q be popular with cole crop producers thro ughout North America and Europe as well as in China where cole crops are a staple of the diet

RESEARCH BOOSTED BY MINISTRY RELOCATION

~ricultural research at the Univershysity will benefit from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food (OMAF) decision to move its headshyquarters and over 500 staff from Toronto to Guelph

The ministrys relocation here signals and solidifies the Universitys position as the leading agricultural research institution in Canada says Dr Larry Milligan Dean of Research It is a major step toward our goal of establishing the niversity as a world centre for sustained agricultural research and technology transfer

The decision to relocate OMAF headquarters is consistent with the Ontario governments decentrali shy

zation program The announcement was part of the April 28 throne peech Relocation is expected to be complete by 1991

In 1987-88 OMAF will contribute over S31 million towards agricultural research education and services at the UniverSity This funding helps support 478 agricultural research proshyjects at OAC and OVe

No other university in Canada has the very special and entirely compleshymentary relationship with its primary external research funding source that Guelph shares with OMM says Dr Milligan With the relocation that rapport can onJy grow

OVC GRADUATE HELPS SLEEPING CHILDREN AROUND THE WORLD

Give a child a comfortable nights rest and it helps to take his mind off his hunger and conserve his energy for the demands of the next day

That s the philosophy behind Sleeping Children Around the World (SCAW) a registered Canadian charitshyable organization founded by Murray and the late Margaret Dryden parents of National Hockey League goalshytenders Dave and Ken It s an organishyzation that has given Dr Gordon S BroW11 OVC 45 of Harrow a very rewarding purpose in li fe since retirement

Gordon opened a veterinary pracshytice in Essex in 1946 and was joined 11 years later by Dr Douglas McKelvie OVC 47 The practice evolved into a busy one treating both large and small animals but a car accident in 1980 made it impossible for Gordon to continue with the large animal part He sold the practice and opened a small animal clinic in Kingsville which he operated until retiring in 1986

While on an Alaskan cruise in 1977 Gordon and his wife June met the Drydens who told them about SCAW

We were impressed with their compassion for the oppressed chilshydren in the Third World countries and their strong desire to help by supplying comfort reports Gordon

The Browns became close friends with the Drydens and began to support their precious project In 1982 Murray Dryden invited Gordon to join him in distributing bed-kits in the Third World Each kit consists of a groundsheet mattress shee ts bl anket pillow and pillow case pajamas clothing and sometimes mosquito netting

SCAW is supported by private donashytion Every dollar donated is used to provide the bed-kits nothing is siphoned off for administration or travel expenses The money is sent to existing organizations in Third World countries like Rotary Kiwanis the Salvation Army Canadian Jesuits and

Dr Gordon S Brown OVC 45 and his wife June

Pentecostal missionaries It is their responsibility to purchase materials and have the ki ts made up

When I saw first -hand the tremen shydous need and joy upon receiving the bed-kits on that first trip [ had to continue and make this project a part of my life says Gordon He has now made four trips at his 0W11 expense iOlO India and the Hin1alayas Pakistan Bangladesh Sri Lanka Thailand and the Philippines On the last two trips his wife has accompanied him and become equally enthusiastic They make the trips to witness the distrishy

bution of the ki ts and take photos of the children holding the kits and labels with the donors names on them These photos are then sent to the donors as proof that the kits are being received

Each trip takes the Browns away from their home six to seven weeks in February and March This year 12000 bed-kits will be distributed

A 1985 SCAW newsletter reports on one distribution scene In Sri Lanka the Inner Wheel (Wives of Rotarians ) intricately planned a week of d istributions in 13 d ifferent locations One was a refugee camp where a few hundred people driven out of the northern part of the island by the Tamils had taken refuge in a Catholic Church Theywere sleeping on the cement floor inety of these fami lies had witnessed their husbands and fathers lined up and shot A water tnIck came in once a day as well as a food truck We had only 100 kits for this great need Our hearts really wenl out to these people

RADIATION EQUIPMENT FURTHERS CANCER RESEARCH

A donation of orthovoltage and cobalt radiation equipment from Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto will enable OVC to establish a radioshytherapy unit in its small animal clinic by the end of the year The gift of the used equipment will cut the estimated $250000 cost of the unit by ahout half Funds are being sought from alumni and other sources for site development of the unit

The hospital learned ofoves need for a unit while involved in joint research on the radiation treatment of dogs with lymphoma cancer in 1983 Princess Margaret researchers developed a way to preserve bone marrow while irradiating the entire body The new treatment had exeelshy

lent potential to extend remission limes in patienrs Because canine and human lymphomas arc s imilar Princess Margaret officials asked ave to carry out research on dogs using the hospitals facilities

OVC researchers treated 14 dogs with lymphoma In II of those the tumors decreased significantly in size and did not reappear in some cases until SlX months later Without treat shyment veterinarians expected the dogs had about a month to live TIle results were encouraging although not at all conclusive because of the small number of research subjects

The project stopped in 1985 pri shymarily because of staffing and space

constraints at Princess Margaret When the new radiotherapy unit is in place veterinarians wi ll resume research to find ways of increasing the duration of the effectiveness of radiation treatment Princeslt Margaret rtsearchers will explore human applications

The research could lead to work in other cancers that act similarly in dogs and humans such as osteoshysarcoma the disease suffered by Terry Fox

NEW DEPARTMENT TO FOCUS ON HEALTH OF GROUPS

A new department of population medicine at ove is focusing on tbe health of groups of animals rathe r than individuals particularly on-farm species

The department draws personnel from the departments of Clinical Studies and Veterinary Microbiology and Immunology

OVC Dean Ole Nielsen says its important for the College to have a department whose basic philosophy is concerned with the health of the group rather than the individual Its particularly important for the agri shyculnlre industry because modern food

production tends to work with large groups

Population medicine is the study of the frequency distribution and cost of disease and the inter-relationships among disease managemem enshyvironment and productivity It also involves applied strategies for health management and the prevention and control of disease

Dr ielsen says population medishyc ine is in line with the new health maintenance orientation of courses in OVCs new curriculum and it capitalizes on many ofOllr streng[hs It is also in Line with the needs of

vcterinary medicine in the future he says

As we move to larger and more complex farming operations and the economic crunch worsens there will be more emphaSiS on effiCiency and cost-effectiveness he says Population medicine is concerned with the disshytribution causes and costs of disease in animals There is emphasis on numeracy using quantitative data to measure the cost benefits of health care

Dr Nielsen says the new department will put ove in the forefront in thc modern approach to health maintenshyance in food-pn ducing animals

Dve BRIEFLY

Ove has launched a new fundshyraising p roject called Pet Trust The object is to raise money for research into problems and diseases affecting small or companion animals to further work already proceeding in such areas as oncology ophthalmology orthoshypedics reconsrmctive surgery organ dysfunction lOaesthesia infectious diseases animal behavior and human animal bonding and to provide fu nds for fellowships

Kits containing information about the program have been sent out to every veterinary practice in Ontario and response has been heartening

A Board of Tmstees will approve research projects and grants establish policy and generally promote the Pet Trust Annual reports will also be issued

DOES P EQUAL NP By Mary Dickieson

Pub lic Relations and Informa tion

One of the most perplexing proshyblems in computer science may have been solved by Professor Ted Swan who has a joint appointment in the departments of Mathematics and Statistics and Computing and Inforshymation Science He has written a paper offering proof that P=NP To the layman th is means that we will now be able to solve problems that we formerly thought we could not he says

Professor Bill Smith chair of the Department of Mathematics and Statisshytics says that if Dr Swarts results are verified they will really be quite earth-shattering and exceptional shyof far -reaching significance in mathematics

Dr Swart cautions that the jury is stili ou t on whether his approach will be proved or disproved by his peers but already his pronouncement has caused a stir in the computer world The findings are of considerable interest to everyone working in this area says Professor Smith and they are an important contribution to the problem whether or not they are eventually accepted as stated

Dr Swart says his results are bound to be met by a great deal of proshyfessional suspicion because they are contrary to the prevailing thought Most people think that P does not equal P

Although the results are still theoreshytical Professor Smith and Dr Swart agree they could have a number of practical applications Industry commerce finance and most other sectors of society that use computers could benefit from Dr Swart s adshyvancement of one of the ftmdamental aspects of computer science the use of algorithms

People solve problems on comshyputers by using precisely defined sets of steps called algOrithms says Dr_ Swart Of the two classes ofcomputer problems class P refers to those for which good polynomial time

algorithms exist enabling them to be solved effiCiently on a computer Dr Swart cites the example of the minishymal connector problem which asks for a scheme to cormect a group of cities by telephone wires in such a way that the amount of wire used is minima l Good algori thms allow this problem to be solved easily regardshyless of the number ofcities involved he says

Computer problems in the second class - NP - are considered hard to solve_Large problems in this cateshygory cannot be solved on even the most powerful computers in the world because there are no algorithms that allow solution of the problem without escalating the number of calculations to a level beyond the capacity of computers Dr Swart says there are at least 1 000 known examples of proshyblems in this class of which the travelling salesman problem is one of the best known Even for a relatively small group of cities such as the 50 US capitals there has been no solushytion to the problem of devising a route that will enable a salesman to visit each ci ty only once while trashyvelling a mininlal distance

My results say these two classes of problems are equal and that there do exist good algorithms for solving this type of computer problem he says

To prove his results Dr Swarts paper cites a similar problem the Hamilton circuit which is illustrated by asking the question Can you visit each of several cities in succession Without backtracking

Dr Swarts problem establishes that the Hamilton circuit problem can be solved in polynomial time by conshyverting a mathematical programming formulation of the problem into a linear programming formulation and using existing polynomial ti me algorithms as established by Kachiyan and Kannarkar

The Significant feature of these results is that they will enable comshyputers to tackle larger problems with more unknowns and get the results more quickly

COMPUTER SCIENCE PROGRAM APPEALS TO STUDENTS

Guelphs new masters program in computer science which enrolled its fi rst students last September aims to move advanced information techshynology out of the research laboratory and into practical application says co-ordinator Professor Tom Wi on It combines graduate courses in the latest research developments with an applied thesis

Because there are only 13 students each has what can be called a tailorshymade program says Professor Wilson The Department of Computing and Information Science plans to accept another seven students this September and expects enrolment to grow to 30 with in the next few years - deshypending on the availability of faculty and space Even with that number the program will be smaller than others in the province so the level of personal contact and flexibil ity will remain high

Students in the program are often involved in problems that are of interest to other departments About two-thirds of the students are Guelph graduates - many with double degrees

TI1e undergraduate backgrounds of the students range from medicinal chemistry to philosophy and their research interests are just as varied as the following profiles indicate

RETIRING PROFESSOR HONORED

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry hosted a symposium in the spring on the molecular mechanshyisms underlying vertebrate visual transduction The symposium honored Professor Bill Abrahamson who retired May 1 It provided a review of current approaches to a field in which Professor AbJhamson s

communication He is developing softshyware that will allow dolphin comshymunication researchers at the nivershysity of Hawaii to extract information from a database using a natural language such as English rather than a computer language This would free them from having to learn comshyplex computer skills

Karl whose thesis adviser is Proshyfessor Mary Mcleish travelled to Hawaii in April to install a natural language processing system at the Kewalo Basin Marine Mammal laborashytory and to become more fami liar with the computers available there A graduate of Gue lph s computer science program Karl at 0 has an undergraduate degree in medicinal chemistry from Concordia University and has done graduate work in neuroshyscience at McMaster Medical Centre

Howard Pel ls special interest is fibre optics and their use in wide-area communication networks sing light instead of electricity offers amazing capabilities he says because teleshyphone television and computer data can be transmitted over a single piece of pi astie

Howard who is working under Professor Wilson has a joint BA C86) from Guelph in computer science and philosophy The undershygraouate program in computer science focused more on software says Howard but his preference is hardware The master s program allows him to devote his time to this first love

contributions are widely appreciated Speakers included Dr Barry Honig

DR JOHN POWEll RECEIVES MEDAL OF MERIT

Dr John Powell who retired as professor of Human Kinetics in 1984 received the niversitys Medal of Merit at spring convocation in recognishytion not only of his important contrishybutions to establishing the study of human structure and function at the University but also in appreciation of his dedication to the physical wellshybeing of mankind

During 20 years of service to the niversity Dr Powell served two

terms as Director of the School of Human Biology and Chairman of the Department of Human Kinetics Through his guidance the Department ofHuman Kintlics was established as part of the new College of Biological Science in 1971 and after retiring he received the College s first Merishytorious Service Medal

With the untimely death of Walter Vaughan in late 1983 the call came from the Presidents office to fill Secretary of Senate Dr Powell plugged the gap for seven months fulfilling his goal to serve at the University as well as the College and departrnentallevels

In 1983 the Faculty Association presented Dr Powell with the first University of Guelph Special Merit Award in recognition of teaching excellence curriculum development and dedication to his students

Included among Dr Powells achishyevements is the initiation of the Human Kinetics Student Symposium in 1971 This undertaking has become a popular annual campus event

Dr Powell served as Honorary Preshysident of the Human Kinetics Alumni Association from 1971 -83 and served as editor of both the Bio-Sci News in the Guelph Alumnus and the Human Kinetics Newsletter The Human Kinetics Alumn i Association has honored him with a scholarship in his nanle

When he arrived at Guelph in 1965 Dr Powell initiated and for five days a week still leads the CardioshyVascular Club This club has brought a genuine enjoyment of exercise into

the lives ofDr Powells many disciples In 1983 a film featuring the CardioshyVascular Club funded by the Univershysity of Guelph Alumni Association won acdaim from the Czechoslovashykian government The film was later shown in Budapest at the request of the Hungarian government Dr Powell was honored by Premier WilIian1 Davis in 1985 for his specific conshytrihution to cardiov-Scular rehabilishytation

For 15 years Or Powell has been a member of the I nternational Olympic Academy an institution that develops the theory ethics and procedures for the Olympic Games His contribution to the Academy was recognized by the He llenic Olympic Committee when it conferred upon him the prestigious rank of Collaborator and awarded him a silver medallion_ He also received one of two silver commemorative medals presented to Canadians in 1986 for devoted work to the youth of the world through the International Olympic Academy since 1972

Dr Powell has come up with a definition for the word Olympism wh ich has been officially accepted by the Canadian Olympic Association

PROFESSOR EMERITUS

PrOfessor emeritus status was bestowed on Professor John George Department of Zoology at spring convocation

Born and educated in India Proshyfessor George joined the University of Baroda in 1950 as the first head of its zoology department and over the next decade developed one of the leading zoology departments in India He came to Guelph as professor of zoology in 1967 a pOSition he held until his retirement in 1986

Twice a Fulbright FeUow Professor George has been an invited speaker at

Dr john Powel~ Left receives MedaL afMeritfrom Chancelor William A StfnVart at spring convocation

The word was first used in 1896 and continued to be used but had never been defined middotThe definition states that olympism is a harmony of ideas and ideals that affinn the value of Olympic sport in promoting and developing physical and moral quali shyties in individuals and in contributing to a better and more peaceful world by enabling nations to meet in an atmosphere of mutual respect and international amity

One word that Dr Powell hasnt come up with a definition for is retirement A self-proclaimed people person he continues to remain active on campus through the Human Kinetics Symposia and the Cardio-Vascular eurolub and also conshyducts back rehabilitation clinics through Medical Services As long as people need him he will have contrishybutions to make Im a very thankful man he says

PROFESSOR RETIRES

Drw George Barker was honored on his retirement recently at a dinner and reception hosted by the Departshyment of Botany Dr Barkers career in plant science includes two periods at the University of Guelph From 1972 to 1983 he was chair of the Depart shyment of Botany and Genetics in the newly-formed College of Biological Science and was instrumental in guiding the department into new strengths in Botany Ecology and Genetics The emerging Genetics section became the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics in 1983

Dr Barker a native of Stratford served in Europe during World War II as a captain in the Provost Company of the Canadian Army On his return he earned his BSe (1947 ) and MSc ( 1949 ) at the University of Western Ontario His masters thesis was con shycerned with the effect of ethyl carbashymate on mitotic activity in plants This biologically-active compound recently made headlines as a contashyminant of certain wines

In 1953 Dr Barker received his PhD from the University ofMichigan for h is thesis on the proliferation of bass wood taken from 50-year-old trunk tissue demonstrating that these cells retained full developmental capashycity From this time on Dr Barker has maintained an interest in plant tissue culture

From 1952-54Dr Barker was assisshytant professor in the Department of Botany ( then OAC) During this period he perfected the technique of produci ng tubers in vitro This approach remains a cornerstone of modem biotechnology with potatoes

From 1955 to 1960 Dr Barker worked with the United Fmit Comshypany in Costa Rica Honduras and at Cornell developing practical methods of banana propagation still in wideshyspread use and carrying out basic studies on morphology and anatomy He became co-ordinator of research on lowbush blueberries at the Agri shyc ultural Rese a r c h Stat ion in Frederic ton and in 1964 w as appointed Director of the Biological Teaching Unit University of Manitoba

Dr W George Barker

When Dr Barker returned to Guelph in 1972 he llsed his long shyestablished experience in basic and applied research and teaching to build a new department in a new College He leaves behind a strong teaching department which also has an estab shyli shed in ternational research reputalion

Dr Keith Ronald director of the Arboretum and former dean of CBS announced that a Scotch pine in the Arboretum had been dedicated in honor of Dr Barkers contribution to all aipects ofUniversity life Dr Bruce Sells dean of CBS emphasized Dr Barkers pivotaJ role in initiating strong programs in three areas of biological science and presented him with a chair on behalf of the College Dr ] Derek Bewley present chair of Botany thanked Dr Barker for his help and guidance and presented a VCR from the 100 alumni students staff and faculty members in attendance at the dinner

CSS GRAD AIMS FOR OLYMPIC GOLD Andre Bordeleau C5S 79 MA 85 is determined to earn an Olympic gold medal in running game target shooting - no matter how long it takes

It may take a long time Im a late bloomer but I figure I have another 20 years to try Age is not a big problem in my sport and at least J didnt have to sacrifice my childhood to get where I am today says the 30-yearmiddotold political science graduate

Running game target requires the shooter using a 22-caJibre rifle to hit a wild pig moving on a 10-metre rail at 72 mph 144 mph or mixed speed middot from a distance of 50 metres There are many different versions of the sport but the Olympic discipline consists of 30 shots at the slower speed (slow runs ) and 30 at the faster speed ( fast runs)

Andre Bordeleau CSS 79 MA 85 is aimingfor O~yrnpic gold in running game target shooting

The CSSAlumniAssociation cut a cake during Alumni Weekend to celebrate its 10th anniversary Taking part were lef t to right Sandra Couch and Barbara Chance board directorsjohn Aviano newpresident and his wife Inara and facui~y advisor Victor Ujim

Andre became captivated by the sport of shooting when he had a job as an offi cial d river at the L976 Olympics in Montreal

Like most French-Canadian boys I wanted to p lay hockey for the Montreal Canadiens I have the size - 6-feet-l and 215 pounds - bUl there is a problem I cant skate Something to do with small curvatures in my spine nothing serious but enough to throw out my balance So since I couldnt be a professional hockey player I decided to become an Olympic amateur athlete

In pursuit of his goal Andre left his home in Montreal to study at the

niversity of Guelph in 1976 I wanted to srudy some place like Ontario where I could become bishylingual and Guelph was one of only three universities in the province with a rifle range he explains The University of Guelph Rifle Team won three Ontario championships from 1979-81

Andre started out on the Universitys rifle team shooting at stationary tarmiddot gets bu t decided to concentrate on running gan1e because it is more suited to his hyperactive personality He went to the Canadian championships in 1977 and placed ninth At a national competition in 1981 he set two Canadian records one of which stood for three years In 1984 he won the provincial championships and set a provincial record which still stands Also in 1984 he was invited to the Olympic trials and despite sustaining a concussion in a car accident on the first day of shooting he placed third Unfortunately only the first and second place winners qualified for the Olympics

In 1986 Andre went to his first international match the World Championships in East Gemlany He shot below his average and placed 46th in the 10 metre air rifle event an indoor scaled-down version ofmnning game target

1 was disappointed but I learned a lot Before I went [wasnt ranked in

24

the world at all At least now Im ranked he says

Undaunted he is currently training for the 1988 Olympics with national running game target team coach Dick Esseltine of Peterborough and he tries to practise at the Guelph rifle range eve1 day

Running game target shooting re shyquires concentration physica l stamina eye-band co-ordination and balance But staying in financial shape is a bigger challenge for Andre than staying physically fit Unable to find a job relating to his degrees he works as a night supervisor at Stonehenge a drug rehabilitation ce ntre near Guelph While he meets his liing expenses he is struggling to pay back stude nt loans and keep up with expenses incurred as an amateur athlete

Although he estimates he has dug a 860000 hole since making the move to Guelph and devoting himself to shootinghe has no regrets He says Guelph has been a good experience culturally and linguistically He views it as the place where he started a rich amateur career and as he plods on toward Olympic gold he takes satisshyfaction in his many smaller accomshyplishments

I believe in pursuing excellence Ive set the ultimate goal ( OLympic gold) and Im going to do my best to achieve it

INDUSTRIAL ORGAN IZA TIONAL

PSYCHOLOGY MEETS GROWING DEMAND

Ahigh demand for industrial psychoshylogists in Canada has led the Departshyment of Psychology to introduce a new graduate option

I ndllstriallOrganizaliorudPsychoshylogy is being added to the masters program for specialized training which could lead to work in personncl management job dcsign and analysis organizational consulting or health and safety in the workplace

The demand for industriaL PSTchoshylogists has been brought about by rapidly changing technology business growth and legislation in the areas of workplace safety human rights equal pay amI equal employment opportuni shyties Because there are few structured graduate programs in Canada to meet this need industrial psychologists have receiytd their training in the US Othe rs have trained themselves on the job

Steven Cranshaw who earned his PhD in industrial organizational

psychology at the University ofAkron is developing the new program at Guelph He was formerly at thc Univershysity of Waterloo and is currently chairman of the industrialorganizashytional section of the Canadian Psychoshylogical Association

The department is also pursuing a joint PhD program in industrial organizational psychology with the University of Waterloo It will offer training to the highest professionaJ standards in orth America

Dr Cranshawsays a 198687 survey done by Canada Employment and Immigration lists industrial organil3shytional psychology as an area of high job demand in the near future As graduates of the Guelph program become finnly established in the work force it will become readily apparent that this University is pLaying a major ro le in improving the quality of working life

WHATS NEW IN THE DEPARTMENTS POLITICAL STUDIES In September the department will introduce a dis shytance education diploma program in Public Policy and Administrat ion taught by Professor Richard Phidd The comprehensive program conshysisting of 10 courses at the undershygraduate level will provide an inte llectuaJ component to the workshyplace experiences of profeSSionals Distance education makes the depart shyments programs and courses more widely available to people in the work force ECONOMICS Professor Louis

Christofides is the new department chairman A major change which will take place LInder his direction is the establishment of a PhD program in resource and environmental econo shymics Professor Christofidcs aJso plans to oversee a review of the undershygraduate program He says the review will determine whether an approshypriate core course sequence is in place and whether the curriculum can be improved More spacc and the recmitment of quality facu lty and graduate students are also among his goals

GEOGRAPHY The birth ofProfessor Barry Smits daughter March 3 had some frantic moments Hanna was born in the family car as the harried father-to-be sped through the night to Guelph General Hospital She was dubbed Speedy Smit by the hospital staff and is a sister for two-year-old Emily Mother Ruth Ann and the baby came through the experience none the worse for wear but Professor Smit m ust have been glad to get back to the old routine of classes and lectures At least theyre fairly predictable

IVAN TAYLOR A FRIEND TO STUDENTS AND HORSES

Duringhis 39 years ar the University Ivan Taylor attended the births of more than 300 foals So it was not surprising thal he had a connection with one of the Percherons used in the ground breaking ceremony which marked the start of construction of the Equine Research Centre this spring Ivan was present at the birth of the Percherons mother Duchess bred at OAC

Hes likely forgotten more about horses than the rest of us could ever hope ro learn in the first place an onlooker at the ceremony was overshyheard to say about Ivan

The onlooker could have been any one of hundreds of students Ivan trained to show and care for horses over the years

He had an interest in people as well as horses and whenever a student needed help he was there He was practical dependable conscientious and extremely knowledgeable about horses His equine talents were outstanding says Bruce Stone OAC 53 MSA 54 Associate Dean ofOAC

Ivan first acquired a feel for horses as a youngster on his fathers farm When he began working at OAC in 1946 he was known as a teamster someone who drove teams of horses to do the tleld work There was only one tractor at the University so horseshypower got most of the work done Ivan recalls spending several hours a week cleaning and shining the brassshymounted harness worn by the horses at that time

When asked about his skill with horses Ivan modestly attributes it to the late Professor Orval Kennedy with whom he worked for many years

At first we had 80 ro 100 horses We used some for work and some to teach field husbandry We even used them to take students on sleigh rides We broke in a lot of colts he says

Ivan remembers in particular training six horse hitches to pur on displays at Farm and Home Week an

Ivan TaYD (above) attended the birth of this Percherons mother Duchess bred at OAC The horse was one of two owned by Cameron Shantz used for agrouncl-breaking ceremony Apnl29 to mark the start 0fconstruction ofthe Equine Research Centre

OAC eveOl which lasted until the mid sixries He says he always looked forward to helping students prepare and rrain their horses for College Royal as well

In the sixties the College began to dispense wirh heavy draught horses until eventually it just had some light horses Ivan finished out his niversity career apound manager of the bull tesring station at Arkell

Dr Claire Rennie OAC 47 assistant deputy minister OMAF says During my years in the Department of Animal and Poultry Science at the UniverSity I was thankful many times thar we had a person like Ivan responsible for specific operations at rhe Arkell Research Sration He managed the beef bull performance testing promiddot gram as though ir was his very own

Ivan retired in May 1986 He now works part-time in the wholesale business and sometimes judges horses at fall fairs

Dr Russ Willoughby OVC 57

director of the Equine Research Centre invited Ivan to participate in the ground breaking ceremony because he is a very fine man who has helped hundreds ofpeople at this

niversity He was the key person looking after OLLr horses for many years

Ivan says It was a nice honor to be there

DONATE TO PATIO

SOIL EROSION GETS SPECIAL ATTENTION

T he new Centre for Soil and Water Conservation will provide a focal point for research on the degradation of soil and water resources says the Centres director Land Resource Science Professor Murray Miller OAC 53

Soil erosion costs Ontario farmers an estimated $68 million a year in nutriem and yield losses says Dr Miller [n 19S4 a Senate report on soil conservation described erosion as the most serious agricultural crisis in Canadas history and predicted the loss of a major portion of Canadas agricultural capability ifprompt action were not taken

The loss of productive topsoil is not the only problem Soil erosion is the cause of major pollution of Ontarios Great Lakes Runoff from farm land is the source of about twoshythirds of the phosphorus that is desshytroying marine life in Lake Erie Dr Miller says

The problem has become so serious that the federal government and province of Ontario have agreed to spend 830 million over tlve years to reduce phosphorus inputs to the lakes And the Omario Ministry of Agriculshyntre and Food has established a soiJ

TURFGRASS INSTITUTE The University will become a centre of Canadian turfgrass research edushycation and extension now that Senate has given the go-ahead to establish a Guelph Turfgrass Institute (GTI)

Sponsored by the Ontario Ministry ofAgriculrure and Food the niversity and the turfgrass industry GTI - the first centre of its kind in Canada shywill be housed in a new building on Stone Road

GTI will support a provincial turfshygrass industry valued at more than 240 million It will create a favorable

environment for research in turfgrass science an extension program and courses and seminars in ntrfgrass

Dr Murray Miller OAC 53

and water management branch to put greater emphasis on this area

There is a serious need for research on soil and water conservation says Dr Miller and Guelph will be much better able to meet that need with a co-ordlnated program on campus

About 25 tlculty members in various disciplines at the University have expershytise in soil and water conservation Dr Miller expects the Centre to increase the visibility and accessibility of Guelphs expertise allowing Guelph to assist government industry and other groups with soil and water conservation problems

One of the Centres first contracts is with Agriculture Canadas Soil and Water Environmental Enhancement Program to prepare an in-depth background report on soil and water conservation in southwestern Ontario

production and management at the associate diploma undergraduate and graduate levels

Turfgrass research has gone on well here since its beginnings back in the 1940s says Professor Lee Burpee Environmental Biology who has been working with colleagues for two years to establish a lurfgrass institute GTI would put us all together encourage diSCUSSion help morale and give us and the ulrfgrass industry more visishybiliry Six faculry in three departments are involved in turfgrass research In 1985 S6 the UniversityS turfgrass scientists spent more than SOO hours on extension activities

HORTICULTURALISTS FILE PATENT APPLICATION FOR TRIAZINEmiddotRESISTANT CROPS

By Owen Roberts O ffice of Research

One of the few places where farmers still have to hack at weeds with a hand hoe is among their rows ofbroccoIi cabbage cauliflower and Brussels sprouts - the cole crops Few effective herbicides exist for these crops The need for manual labor has kept the hoe busy but slowed the development of a Canadian cole crop industry

A breakthrough at the University however could not only make hand hoeing a chore of the past but heighten the importance of cole crops in Canadian agriculture Dr Renald Ayotte OAC 82 and a recent PhD graduate in Horticultural Science and his supervisors Professors Pat f lamey and Vince Souza-Machado OAC PhD 76 have filed a patent application for cole crops varieties that are resistant to the triazine fanli1y of herbicides

ormally these broad leaf plants are killed by triazine herbicides but the new plants have genetic traits that make them invulnerable to that common herbicide group Dr Ayotte says this research will find immediate application in the field

The secret is the development of a seed with triazine-resistant cytoplasm he says By cro sbreeding and backshycrossing cole crops with spring rapeshyseed (a Guelph-developed triazineshyresistant plant) the researchers created new plant bearing the nuclear genes of the cole crops and the ltylOplasmic genes of the rapeseed The result is a triazine-resistant cole crop

Breeding herbicide resistance into plants is a relatively new way of dealing with weeds in horticultural crops The traditional chemical approach has been [Q develop new compounds or extend the use of established herbicides to crops But because of the increasing costs of research and development the unshyattractive economics of herbicides for low-acreage crops and the strinshygent controls over registration standard few horticultural herbicides

Dr Renald Ayotte OAC 82

have been brought onstream It is these factors that led to this col crop project Dr Ayone says

The development of the traizineshyresistant plants could have a wideshy

spread effect on the production of cole crops which are gaining inshycreasing a c eptance by health shyconscious consumers Cauliflower sales in Canada for example have doubled over the last five years to about 824 million annuaUy

Controlling broadIeaf weed species like wild mustard and shepherds purse will not onJy reduce weed competi tion with the cole crop plants but eradicate al ternative hosts of pests and disease says Dr Ayotte And the mechanical harvesting of cole crops will be made easier by the absence of tall weeds which can clog harvesting equipment

In addition to eliminating the need fo r hand hoeing the plants will offer farmers new alternatives in crop selection says Dr Ayotte

Response by seed companies to the triazine resi tance has been good says Chris Ostrovski technology devel o pment offi cer Offi ce of Research He expects the plants (Q be popular with cole crop producers thro ughout North America and Europe as well as in China where cole crops are a staple of the diet

RESEARCH BOOSTED BY MINISTRY RELOCATION

~ricultural research at the Univershysity will benefit from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food (OMAF) decision to move its headshyquarters and over 500 staff from Toronto to Guelph

The ministrys relocation here signals and solidifies the Universitys position as the leading agricultural research institution in Canada says Dr Larry Milligan Dean of Research It is a major step toward our goal of establishing the niversity as a world centre for sustained agricultural research and technology transfer

The decision to relocate OMAF headquarters is consistent with the Ontario governments decentrali shy

zation program The announcement was part of the April 28 throne peech Relocation is expected to be complete by 1991

In 1987-88 OMAF will contribute over S31 million towards agricultural research education and services at the UniverSity This funding helps support 478 agricultural research proshyjects at OAC and OVe

No other university in Canada has the very special and entirely compleshymentary relationship with its primary external research funding source that Guelph shares with OMM says Dr Milligan With the relocation that rapport can onJy grow

OVC GRADUATE HELPS SLEEPING CHILDREN AROUND THE WORLD

Give a child a comfortable nights rest and it helps to take his mind off his hunger and conserve his energy for the demands of the next day

That s the philosophy behind Sleeping Children Around the World (SCAW) a registered Canadian charitshyable organization founded by Murray and the late Margaret Dryden parents of National Hockey League goalshytenders Dave and Ken It s an organishyzation that has given Dr Gordon S BroW11 OVC 45 of Harrow a very rewarding purpose in li fe since retirement

Gordon opened a veterinary pracshytice in Essex in 1946 and was joined 11 years later by Dr Douglas McKelvie OVC 47 The practice evolved into a busy one treating both large and small animals but a car accident in 1980 made it impossible for Gordon to continue with the large animal part He sold the practice and opened a small animal clinic in Kingsville which he operated until retiring in 1986

While on an Alaskan cruise in 1977 Gordon and his wife June met the Drydens who told them about SCAW

We were impressed with their compassion for the oppressed chilshydren in the Third World countries and their strong desire to help by supplying comfort reports Gordon

The Browns became close friends with the Drydens and began to support their precious project In 1982 Murray Dryden invited Gordon to join him in distributing bed-kits in the Third World Each kit consists of a groundsheet mattress shee ts bl anket pillow and pillow case pajamas clothing and sometimes mosquito netting

SCAW is supported by private donashytion Every dollar donated is used to provide the bed-kits nothing is siphoned off for administration or travel expenses The money is sent to existing organizations in Third World countries like Rotary Kiwanis the Salvation Army Canadian Jesuits and

Dr Gordon S Brown OVC 45 and his wife June

Pentecostal missionaries It is their responsibility to purchase materials and have the ki ts made up

When I saw first -hand the tremen shydous need and joy upon receiving the bed-kits on that first trip [ had to continue and make this project a part of my life says Gordon He has now made four trips at his 0W11 expense iOlO India and the Hin1alayas Pakistan Bangladesh Sri Lanka Thailand and the Philippines On the last two trips his wife has accompanied him and become equally enthusiastic They make the trips to witness the distrishy

bution of the ki ts and take photos of the children holding the kits and labels with the donors names on them These photos are then sent to the donors as proof that the kits are being received

Each trip takes the Browns away from their home six to seven weeks in February and March This year 12000 bed-kits will be distributed

A 1985 SCAW newsletter reports on one distribution scene In Sri Lanka the Inner Wheel (Wives of Rotarians ) intricately planned a week of d istributions in 13 d ifferent locations One was a refugee camp where a few hundred people driven out of the northern part of the island by the Tamils had taken refuge in a Catholic Church Theywere sleeping on the cement floor inety of these fami lies had witnessed their husbands and fathers lined up and shot A water tnIck came in once a day as well as a food truck We had only 100 kits for this great need Our hearts really wenl out to these people

The Browns are plCltLied to describe their SCAW trips to large or small groups Thcy may be contacted at Box 1 Blue Water Beach RR 1 Harrow Ontario NOR IGO ( 519 ) 738-6587

RADIATION EQUIPMENT FURTHERS CANCER RESEARCH

A donation of orthovoltage and cobalt radiation equipment from Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto will enable OVC to establish a radioshytherapy unit in its small animal clinic by the end of the year The gift of the used equipment will cut the estimated $250000 cost of the unit by ahout half Funds are being sought from alumni and other sources for site development of the unit

The hospital learned ofoves need for a unit while involved in joint research on the radiation treatment of dogs with lymphoma cancer in 1983 Princess Margaret researchers developed a way to preserve bone marrow while irradiating the entire body The new treatment had exeelshy

lent potential to extend remission limes in patienrs Because canine and human lymphomas arc s imilar Princess Margaret officials asked ave to carry out research on dogs using the hospitals facilities

OVC researchers treated 14 dogs with lymphoma In II of those the tumors decreased significantly in size and did not reappear in some cases until SlX months later Without treat shyment veterinarians expected the dogs had about a month to live TIle results were encouraging although not at all conclusive because of the small number of research subjects

The project stopped in 1985 pri shymarily because of staffing and space

constraints at Princess Margaret When the new radiotherapy unit is in place veterinarians wi ll resume research to find ways of increasing the duration of the effectiveness of radiation treatment Princeslt Margaret rtsearchers will explore human applications

The research could lead to work in other cancers that act similarly in dogs and humans such as osteoshysarcoma the disease suffered by Terry Fox

If you would like to contribute to the radiotherapy unit at OVC send your donations to Alumni House

NEW DEPARTMENT TO FOCUS ON HEALTH OF GROUPS

A new department of population medicine at ove is focusing on tbe health of groups of animals rathe r than individuals particularly on-farm species

The department draws personnel from the departments of Clinical Studies and Veterinary Microbiology and Immunology

OVC Dean Ole Nielsen says its important for the College to have a department whose basic philosophy is concerned with the health of the group rather than the individual Its particularly important for the agri shyculnlre industry because modern food

production tends to work with large groups

Population medicine is the study of the frequency distribution and cost of disease and the inter-relationships among disease managemem enshyvironment and productivity It also involves applied strategies for health management and the prevention and control of disease

Dr ielsen says population medishyc ine is in line with the new health maintenance orientation of courses in OVCs new curriculum and it capitalizes on many ofOllr streng[hs It is also in Line with the needs of

vcterinary medicine in the future he says

As we move to larger and more complex farming operations and the economic crunch worsens there will be more emphaSiS on effiCiency and cost-effectiveness he says Population medicine is concerned with the disshytribution causes and costs of disease in animals There is emphasis on numeracy using quantitative data to measure the cost benefits of health care

Dr Nielsen says the new department will put ove in the forefront in thc modern approach to health maintenshyance in food-pn ducing animals

Dve BRIEFLY

Ove has launched a new fundshyraising p roject called Pet Trust The object is to raise money for research into problems and diseases affecting small or companion animals to further work already proceeding in such areas as oncology ophthalmology orthoshypedics reconsrmctive surgery organ dysfunction lOaesthesia infectious diseases animal behavior and human animal bonding and to provide fu nds for fellowships

Kits containing information about the program have been sent out to every veterinary practice in Ontario and response has been heartening

A Board of Tmstees will approve research projects and grants establish policy and generally promote the Pet Trust Annual reports will also be issued

The OVC Seminar Series has really blossomed List years speakers came from all the OVC Departments the Western College ofVeterinary Medishycine AgriCulture Canada and locatiOns abroad For advance notice about

upcoming seminars phone ( 519) 823-8800 ext 44l4

Over 750 people crowded into War Memorial Hall to hear the 1986 Schofield Memorial Lecturer Dr Kurt Benirschke speak on Endangered Species le Profe sor of Pathology from the University of California San Diego and former Director ofResearch at the San Diego Zoo attracted by far rhe largest audience in the series history

Scott Reid OVC 87 and Mary Handford a third-year architecture student at the niversity ofWattrloo together have won the Hills Pet Products Inc ArchitectureYeterinary Medical Student Hospital Design Award Valued at $2000 US the award is given annually to each of the vete rinary colleges in Canada to encourage inter ction between the architecture and veterinary professhysions and to encourage the design of veterinary clinics with optimum feashytures and facilities

Dr Dennis Howell dean of OVC from 1969-79 was made an honorary fellow of the University of Guelph in February and received a doctor of law degree from the UniverSity ofPE in May

Professor Bill Smith chair of the Department of Mathematics and Statisshytics says that if Dr Swarts results are verified they will really be quite earth-shattering and exceptional shyof far -reaching significance in mathematics

Dr Swart cautions that the jury is stili ou t on whether his approach will be proved or disproved by his peers but already his pronouncement has caused a stir in the computer world The findings are of considerable interest to everyone working in this area says Professor Smith and they are an important contribution to the problem whether or not they are eventually accepted as stated

Dr Swart says his results are bound to be met by a great deal of proshyfessional suspicion because they are contrary to the prevailing thought Most people think that P does not equal P

Although the results are still theoreshytical Professor Smith and Dr Swart agree they could have a number of practical applications Industry commerce finance and most other sectors of society that use computers could benefit from Dr Swart s adshyvancement of one of the ftmdamental aspects of computer science the use of algorithms

People solve problems on comshyputers by using precisely defined sets of steps called algOrithms says Dr_ Swart Of the two classes ofcomputer problems class P refers to those for which good polynomial time

algorithms exist enabling them to be solved effiCiently on a computer Dr Swart cites the example of the minishymal connector problem which asks for a scheme to cormect a group of cities by telephone wires in such a way that the amount of wire used is minima l Good algori thms allow this problem to be solved easily regardshyless of the number ofcities involved he says

Computer problems in the second class - NP - are considered hard to solve_Large problems in this cateshygory cannot be solved on even the most powerful computers in the world because there are no algorithms that allow solution of the problem without escalating the number of calculations to a level beyond the capacity of computers Dr Swart says there are at least 1 000 known examples of proshyblems in this class of which the travelling salesman problem is one of the best known Even for a relatively small group of cities such as the 50 US capitals there has been no solushytion to the problem of devising a route that will enable a salesman to visit each ci ty only once while trashyvelling a mininlal distance

My results say these two classes of problems are equal and that there do exist good algorithms for solving this type of computer problem he says

To prove his results Dr Swarts paper cites a similar problem the Hamilton circuit which is illustrated by asking the question Can you visit each of several cities in succession Without backtracking

Dr Swarts problem establishes that the Hamilton circuit problem can be solved in polynomial time by conshyverting a mathematical programming formulation of the problem into a linear programming formulation and using existing polynomial ti me algorithms as established by Kachiyan and Kannarkar

The Significant feature of these results is that they will enable comshyputers to tackle larger problems with more unknowns and get the results more quickly

COMPUTER SCIENCE PROGRAM APPEALS TO STUDENTS

Guelphs new masters program in computer science which enrolled its fi rst students last September aims to move advanced information techshynology out of the research laboratory and into practical application says co-ordinator Professor Tom Wi on It combines graduate courses in the latest research developments with an applied thesis

Because there are only 13 students each has what can be called a tailorshymade program says Professor Wilson The Department of Computing and Information Science plans to accept another seven students this September and expects enrolment to grow to 30 with in the next few years - deshypending on the availability of faculty and space Even with that number the program will be smaller than others in the province so the level of personal contact and flexibil ity will remain high

Students in the program are often involved in problems that are of interest to other departments About two-thirds of the students are Guelph graduates - many with double degrees

TI1e undergraduate backgrounds of the students range from medicinal chemistry to philosophy and their research interests are just as varied as the following profiles indicate

RETIRING PROFESSOR HONORED

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry hosted a symposium in the spring on the molecular mechanshyisms underlying vertebrate visual transduction The symposium honored Professor Bill Abrahamson who retired May 1 It provided a review of current approaches to a field in which Professor AbJhamson s

communication He is developing softshyware that will allow dolphin comshymunication researchers at the nivershysity of Hawaii to extract information from a database using a natural language such as English rather than a computer language This would free them from having to learn comshyplex computer skills

Karl whose thesis adviser is Proshyfessor Mary Mcleish travelled to Hawaii in April to install a natural language processing system at the Kewalo Basin Marine Mammal laborashytory and to become more fami liar with the computers available there A graduate of Gue lph s computer science program Karl at 0 has an undergraduate degree in medicinal chemistry from Concordia University and has done graduate work in neuroshyscience at McMaster Medical Centre

Howard Pel ls special interest is fibre optics and their use in wide-area communication networks sing light instead of electricity offers amazing capabilities he says because teleshyphone television and computer data can be transmitted over a single piece of pi astie

Howard who is working under Professor Wilson has a joint BA C86) from Guelph in computer science and philosophy The undershygraouate program in computer science focused more on software says Howard but his preference is hardware The master s program allows him to devote his time to this first love

contributions are widely appreciated Speakers included Dr Barry Honig

DR JOHN POWEll RECEIVES MEDAL OF MERIT

Dr John Powell who retired as professor of Human Kinetics in 1984 received the niversitys Medal of Merit at spring convocation in recognishytion not only of his important contrishybutions to establishing the study of human structure and function at the University but also in appreciation of his dedication to the physical wellshybeing of mankind

During 20 years of service to the niversity Dr Powell served two

terms as Director of the School of Human Biology and Chairman of the Department of Human Kinetics Through his guidance the Department ofHuman Kintlics was established as part of the new College of Biological Science in 1971 and after retiring he received the College s first Merishytorious Service Medal

With the untimely death of Walter Vaughan in late 1983 the call came from the Presidents office to fill Secretary of Senate Dr Powell plugged the gap for seven months fulfilling his goal to serve at the University as well as the College and departrnentallevels

In 1983 the Faculty Association presented Dr Powell with the first University of Guelph Special Merit Award in recognition of teaching excellence curriculum development and dedication to his students

Included among Dr Powells achishyevements is the initiation of the Human Kinetics Student Symposium in 1971 This undertaking has become a popular annual campus event

Dr Powell served as Honorary Preshysident of the Human Kinetics Alumni Association from 1971 -83 and served as editor of both the Bio-Sci News in the Guelph Alumnus and the Human Kinetics Newsletter The Human Kinetics Alumn i Association has honored him with a scholarship in his nanle

When he arrived at Guelph in 1965 Dr Powell initiated and for five days a week still leads the CardioshyVascular Club This club has brought a genuine enjoyment of exercise into

the lives ofDr Powells many disciples In 1983 a film featuring the CardioshyVascular Club funded by the Univershysity of Guelph Alumni Association won acdaim from the Czechoslovashykian government The film was later shown in Budapest at the request of the Hungarian government Dr Powell was honored by Premier WilIian1 Davis in 1985 for his specific conshytrihution to cardiov-Scular rehabilishytation

For 15 years Or Powell has been a member of the I nternational Olympic Academy an institution that develops the theory ethics and procedures for the Olympic Games His contribution to the Academy was recognized by the He llenic Olympic Committee when it conferred upon him the prestigious rank of Collaborator and awarded him a silver medallion_ He also received one of two silver commemorative medals presented to Canadians in 1986 for devoted work to the youth of the world through the International Olympic Academy since 1972

Dr Powell has come up with a definition for the word Olympism wh ich has been officially accepted by the Canadian Olympic Association

PROFESSOR EMERITUS

PrOfessor emeritus status was bestowed on Professor John George Department of Zoology at spring convocation

Born and educated in India Proshyfessor George joined the University of Baroda in 1950 as the first head of its zoology department and over the next decade developed one of the leading zoology departments in India He came to Guelph as professor of zoology in 1967 a pOSition he held until his retirement in 1986

Twice a Fulbright FeUow Professor George has been an invited speaker at

Dr john Powel~ Left receives MedaL afMeritfrom Chancelor William A StfnVart at spring convocation

The word was first used in 1896 and continued to be used but had never been defined middotThe definition states that olympism is a harmony of ideas and ideals that affinn the value of Olympic sport in promoting and developing physical and moral quali shyties in individuals and in contributing to a better and more peaceful world by enabling nations to meet in an atmosphere of mutual respect and international amity

One word that Dr Powell hasnt come up with a definition for is retirement A self-proclaimed people person he continues to remain active on campus through the Human Kinetics Symposia and the Cardio-Vascular eurolub and also conshyducts back rehabilitation clinics through Medical Services As long as people need him he will have contrishybutions to make Im a very thankful man he says

PROFESSOR RETIRES

Drw George Barker was honored on his retirement recently at a dinner and reception hosted by the Departshyment of Botany Dr Barkers career in plant science includes two periods at the University of Guelph From 1972 to 1983 he was chair of the Depart shyment of Botany and Genetics in the newly-formed College of Biological Science and was instrumental in guiding the department into new strengths in Botany Ecology and Genetics The emerging Genetics section became the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics in 1983

Dr Barker a native of Stratford served in Europe during World War II as a captain in the Provost Company of the Canadian Army On his return he earned his BSe (1947 ) and MSc ( 1949 ) at the University of Western Ontario His masters thesis was con shycerned with the effect of ethyl carbashymate on mitotic activity in plants This biologically-active compound recently made headlines as a contashyminant of certain wines

In 1953 Dr Barker received his PhD from the University ofMichigan for h is thesis on the proliferation of bass wood taken from 50-year-old trunk tissue demonstrating that these cells retained full developmental capashycity From this time on Dr Barker has maintained an interest in plant tissue culture

From 1952-54Dr Barker was assisshytant professor in the Department of Botany ( then OAC) During this period he perfected the technique of produci ng tubers in vitro This approach remains a cornerstone of modem biotechnology with potatoes

From 1955 to 1960 Dr Barker worked with the United Fmit Comshypany in Costa Rica Honduras and at Cornell developing practical methods of banana propagation still in wideshyspread use and carrying out basic studies on morphology and anatomy He became co-ordinator of research on lowbush blueberries at the Agri shyc ultural Rese a r c h Stat ion in Frederic ton and in 1964 w as appointed Director of the Biological Teaching Unit University of Manitoba

Dr W George Barker

When Dr Barker returned to Guelph in 1972 he llsed his long shyestablished experience in basic and applied research and teaching to build a new department in a new College He leaves behind a strong teaching department which also has an estab shyli shed in ternational research reputalion

Dr Keith Ronald director of the Arboretum and former dean of CBS announced that a Scotch pine in the Arboretum had been dedicated in honor of Dr Barkers contribution to all aipects ofUniversity life Dr Bruce Sells dean of CBS emphasized Dr Barkers pivotaJ role in initiating strong programs in three areas of biological science and presented him with a chair on behalf of the College Dr ] Derek Bewley present chair of Botany thanked Dr Barker for his help and guidance and presented a VCR from the 100 alumni students staff and faculty members in attendance at the dinner

INDUSTRY TASK FORCE REVIEWS IFM PROGRAM

A task force representing senior levels of the dietetic profession and institutional foodservice management met on campus earlier this year to advise the School of Hotel and Food Administration ( HAFA ) about the development of its Institutional Foodshyservice Management Program ( IFM ) The task force convened by FACS Dean Richard Barham is part ofHAFAs review of the IFM program one of two majors offered in the Bachelor of Commerce honors program

Included on the task force are the preside n t and executive vic e shypresident of Canadas two largest institutional foodservice management firms as well as the vice-president of the countrys largest nursing home chain

Discussion focused on intermediate and long-term plans of HAFA faculty The task force supports curriculum revisions designed to strengthen the nutrit ion and b iological science components of the IFM major The program prepares graduates for intern shyships as adn inistrative dietitians although some graduates choose to follow careers in institutional food middot service outside dietetics

The task force al so support s graduate training in administration for dietetic professionals There is a need for such a progran1 among therashypeutic dietitians seeking to shift their field of practice [Q administration and among administrative dietitians who wish to improve their qualifi shycations The task force also feels that a masters degree would be an appro shypriate alternat ive to a dietetic internship

The task force discussed the need for programs of continuing pro shyfessional education It supports proposals to develop more courses in continuing education as it relates [Q

administrative dietetics

CSS GRAD AIMS FOR OLYMPIC GOLD Andre Bordeleau C5S 79 MA 85 is determined to earn an Olympic gold medal in running game target shooting - no matter how long it takes

It may take a long time Im a late bloomer but I figure I have another 20 years to try Age is not a big problem in my sport and at least J didnt have to sacrifice my childhood to get where I am today says the 30-yearmiddotold political science graduate

Running game target requires the shooter using a 22-caJibre rifle to hit a wild pig moving on a 10-metre rail at 72 mph 144 mph or mixed speed middot from a distance of 50 metres There are many different versions of the sport but the Olympic discipline consists of 30 shots at the slower speed (slow runs ) and 30 at the faster speed ( fast runs)

Andre Bordeleau CSS 79 MA 85 is aimingfor O~yrnpic gold in running game target shooting

The CSSAlumniAssociation cut a cake during Alumni Weekend to celebrate its 10th anniversary Taking part were lef t to right Sandra Couch and Barbara Chance board directorsjohn Aviano newpresident and his wife Inara and facui~y advisor Victor Ujim

Andre became captivated by the sport of shooting when he had a job as an offi cial d river at the L976 Olympics in Montreal

Like most French-Canadian boys I wanted to p lay hockey for the Montreal Canadiens I have the size - 6-feet-l and 215 pounds - bUl there is a problem I cant skate Something to do with small curvatures in my spine nothing serious but enough to throw out my balance So since I couldnt be a professional hockey player I decided to become an Olympic amateur athlete

In pursuit of his goal Andre left his home in Montreal to study at the

niversity of Guelph in 1976 I wanted to srudy some place like Ontario where I could become bishylingual and Guelph was one of only three universities in the province with a rifle range he explains The University of Guelph Rifle Team won three Ontario championships from 1979-81

Andre started out on the Universitys rifle team shooting at stationary tarmiddot gets bu t decided to concentrate on running gan1e because it is more suited to his hyperactive personality He went to the Canadian championships in 1977 and placed ninth At a national competition in 1981 he set two Canadian records one of which stood for three years In 1984 he won the provincial championships and set a provincial record which still stands Also in 1984 he was invited to the Olympic trials and despite sustaining a concussion in a car accident on the first day of shooting he placed third Unfortunately only the first and second place winners qualified for the Olympics

In 1986 Andre went to his first international match the World Championships in East Gemlany He shot below his average and placed 46th in the 10 metre air rifle event an indoor scaled-down version ofmnning game target

1 was disappointed but I learned a lot Before I went [wasnt ranked in

24

the world at all At least now Im ranked he says

Undaunted he is currently training for the 1988 Olympics with national running game target team coach Dick Esseltine of Peterborough and he tries to practise at the Guelph rifle range eve1 day

Running game target shooting re shyquires concentration physica l stamina eye-band co-ordination and balance But staying in financial shape is a bigger challenge for Andre than staying physically fit Unable to find a job relating to his degrees he works as a night supervisor at Stonehenge a drug rehabilitation ce ntre near Guelph While he meets his liing expenses he is struggling to pay back stude nt loans and keep up with expenses incurred as an amateur athlete

Although he estimates he has dug a 860000 hole since making the move to Guelph and devoting himself to shootinghe has no regrets He says Guelph has been a good experience culturally and linguistically He views it as the place where he started a rich amateur career and as he plods on toward Olympic gold he takes satisshyfaction in his many smaller accomshyplishments

I believe in pursuing excellence Ive set the ultimate goal ( OLympic gold) and Im going to do my best to achieve it

INDUSTRIAL ORGAN IZA TIONAL

PSYCHOLOGY MEETS GROWING DEMAND

Ahigh demand for industrial psychoshylogists in Canada has led the Departshyment of Psychology to introduce a new graduate option

I ndllstriallOrganizaliorudPsychoshylogy is being added to the masters program for specialized training which could lead to work in personncl management job dcsign and analysis organizational consulting or health and safety in the workplace

The demand for industriaL PSTchoshylogists has been brought about by rapidly changing technology business growth and legislation in the areas of workplace safety human rights equal pay amI equal employment opportuni shyties Because there are few structured graduate programs in Canada to meet this need industrial psychologists have receiytd their training in the US Othe rs have trained themselves on the job

Steven Cranshaw who earned his PhD in industrial organizational

psychology at the University ofAkron is developing the new program at Guelph He was formerly at thc Univershysity of Waterloo and is currently chairman of the industrialorganizashytional section of the Canadian Psychoshylogical Association

The department is also pursuing a joint PhD program in industrial organizational psychology with the University of Waterloo It will offer training to the highest professionaJ standards in orth America

Dr Cranshawsays a 198687 survey done by Canada Employment and Immigration lists industrial organil3shytional psychology as an area of high job demand in the near future As graduates of the Guelph program become finnly established in the work force it will become readily apparent that this University is pLaying a major ro le in improving the quality of working life

WHATS NEW IN THE DEPARTMENTS POLITICAL STUDIES In September the department will introduce a dis shytance education diploma program in Public Policy and Administrat ion taught by Professor Richard Phidd The comprehensive program conshysisting of 10 courses at the undershygraduate level will provide an inte llectuaJ component to the workshyplace experiences of profeSSionals Distance education makes the depart shyments programs and courses more widely available to people in the work force ECONOMICS Professor Louis

Christofides is the new department chairman A major change which will take place LInder his direction is the establishment of a PhD program in resource and environmental econo shymics Professor Christofidcs aJso plans to oversee a review of the undershygraduate program He says the review will determine whether an approshypriate core course sequence is in place and whether the curriculum can be improved More spacc and the recmitment of quality facu lty and graduate students are also among his goals

GEOGRAPHY The birth ofProfessor Barry Smits daughter March 3 had some frantic moments Hanna was born in the family car as the harried father-to-be sped through the night to Guelph General Hospital She was dubbed Speedy Smit by the hospital staff and is a sister for two-year-old Emily Mother Ruth Ann and the baby came through the experience none the worse for wear but Professor Smit m ust have been glad to get back to the old routine of classes and lectures At least theyre fairly predictable

IVAN TAYLOR A FRIEND TO STUDENTS AND HORSES

Duringhis 39 years ar the University Ivan Taylor attended the births of more than 300 foals So it was not surprising thal he had a connection with one of the Percherons used in the ground breaking ceremony which marked the start of construction of the Equine Research Centre this spring Ivan was present at the birth of the Percherons mother Duchess bred at OAC

Hes likely forgotten more about horses than the rest of us could ever hope ro learn in the first place an onlooker at the ceremony was overshyheard to say about Ivan

The onlooker could have been any one of hundreds of students Ivan trained to show and care for horses over the years

He had an interest in people as well as horses and whenever a student needed help he was there He was practical dependable conscientious and extremely knowledgeable about horses His equine talents were outstanding says Bruce Stone OAC 53 MSA 54 Associate Dean ofOAC

Ivan first acquired a feel for horses as a youngster on his fathers farm When he began working at OAC in 1946 he was known as a teamster someone who drove teams of horses to do the tleld work There was only one tractor at the University so horseshypower got most of the work done Ivan recalls spending several hours a week cleaning and shining the brassshymounted harness worn by the horses at that time

When asked about his skill with horses Ivan modestly attributes it to the late Professor Orval Kennedy with whom he worked for many years

At first we had 80 ro 100 horses We used some for work and some to teach field husbandry We even used them to take students on sleigh rides We broke in a lot of colts he says

Ivan remembers in particular training six horse hitches to pur on displays at Farm and Home Week an

Ivan TaYD (above) attended the birth of this Percherons mother Duchess bred at OAC The horse was one of two owned by Cameron Shantz used for agrouncl-breaking ceremony Apnl29 to mark the start 0fconstruction ofthe Equine Research Centre

OAC eveOl which lasted until the mid sixries He says he always looked forward to helping students prepare and rrain their horses for College Royal as well

In the sixties the College began to dispense wirh heavy draught horses until eventually it just had some light horses Ivan finished out his niversity career apound manager of the bull tesring station at Arkell

Dr Claire Rennie OAC 47 assistant deputy minister OMAF says During my years in the Department of Animal and Poultry Science at the UniverSity I was thankful many times thar we had a person like Ivan responsible for specific operations at rhe Arkell Research Sration He managed the beef bull performance testing promiddot gram as though ir was his very own

Ivan retired in May 1986 He now works part-time in the wholesale business and sometimes judges horses at fall fairs

Dr Russ Willoughby OVC 57

director of the Equine Research Centre invited Ivan to participate in the ground breaking ceremony because he is a very fine man who has helped hundreds ofpeople at this

niversity He was the key person looking after OLLr horses for many years

Ivan says It was a nice honor to be there

DONATE TO PATIO

The classes ~f OAC86A and 87A have contributed $2000 and $I 500 respectively toward a patio for Alumni House The funds were raised through College Classic an annual conshysignment sale of dairy caltle starred by OAC 85A

SOIL EROSION GETS SPECIAL ATTENTION

T he new Centre for Soil and Water Conservation will provide a focal point for research on the degradation of soil and water resources says the Centres director Land Resource Science Professor Murray Miller OAC 53

Soil erosion costs Ontario farmers an estimated $68 million a year in nutriem and yield losses says Dr Miller [n 19S4 a Senate report on soil conservation described erosion as the most serious agricultural crisis in Canadas history and predicted the loss of a major portion of Canadas agricultural capability ifprompt action were not taken

The loss of productive topsoil is not the only problem Soil erosion is the cause of major pollution of Ontarios Great Lakes Runoff from farm land is the source of about twoshythirds of the phosphorus that is desshytroying marine life in Lake Erie Dr Miller says

The problem has become so serious that the federal government and province of Ontario have agreed to spend 830 million over tlve years to reduce phosphorus inputs to the lakes And the Omario Ministry of Agriculshyntre and Food has established a soiJ

TURFGRASS INSTITUTE The University will become a centre of Canadian turfgrass research edushycation and extension now that Senate has given the go-ahead to establish a Guelph Turfgrass Institute (GTI)

Sponsored by the Ontario Ministry ofAgriculrure and Food the niversity and the turfgrass industry GTI - the first centre of its kind in Canada shywill be housed in a new building on Stone Road

GTI will support a provincial turfshygrass industry valued at more than 240 million It will create a favorable

environment for research in turfgrass science an extension program and courses and seminars in ntrfgrass

Dr Murray Miller OAC 53

and water management branch to put greater emphasis on this area

There is a serious need for research on soil and water conservation says Dr Miller and Guelph will be much better able to meet that need with a co-ordlnated program on campus

About 25 tlculty members in various disciplines at the University have expershytise in soil and water conservation Dr Miller expects the Centre to increase the visibility and accessibility of Guelphs expertise allowing Guelph to assist government industry and other groups with soil and water conservation problems

One of the Centres first contracts is with Agriculture Canadas Soil and Water Environmental Enhancement Program to prepare an in-depth background report on soil and water conservation in southwestern Ontario

production and management at the associate diploma undergraduate and graduate levels

Turfgrass research has gone on well here since its beginnings back in the 1940s says Professor Lee Burpee Environmental Biology who has been working with colleagues for two years to establish a lurfgrass institute GTI would put us all together encourage diSCUSSion help morale and give us and the ulrfgrass industry more visishybiliry Six faculry in three departments are involved in turfgrass research In 1985 S6 the UniversityS turfgrass scientists spent more than SOO hours on extension activities

HORTICULTURALISTS FILE PATENT APPLICATION FOR TRIAZINEmiddotRESISTANT CROPS

By Owen Roberts O ffice of Research

One of the few places where farmers still have to hack at weeds with a hand hoe is among their rows ofbroccoIi cabbage cauliflower and Brussels sprouts - the cole crops Few effective herbicides exist for these crops The need for manual labor has kept the hoe busy but slowed the development of a Canadian cole crop industry

A breakthrough at the University however could not only make hand hoeing a chore of the past but heighten the importance of cole crops in Canadian agriculture Dr Renald Ayotte OAC 82 and a recent PhD graduate in Horticultural Science and his supervisors Professors Pat f lamey and Vince Souza-Machado OAC PhD 76 have filed a patent application for cole crops varieties that are resistant to the triazine fanli1y of herbicides

ormally these broad leaf plants are killed by triazine herbicides but the new plants have genetic traits that make them invulnerable to that common herbicide group Dr Ayotte says this research will find immediate application in the field

The secret is the development of a seed with triazine-resistant cytoplasm he says By cro sbreeding and backshycrossing cole crops with spring rapeshyseed (a Guelph-developed triazineshyresistant plant) the researchers created new plant bearing the nuclear genes of the cole crops and the ltylOplasmic genes of the rapeseed The result is a triazine-resistant cole crop

Breeding herbicide resistance into plants is a relatively new way of dealing with weeds in horticultural crops The traditional chemical approach has been [Q develop new compounds or extend the use of established herbicides to crops But because of the increasing costs of research and development the unshyattractive economics of herbicides for low-acreage crops and the strinshygent controls over registration standard few horticultural herbicides

Dr Renald Ayotte OAC 82

have been brought onstream It is these factors that led to this col crop project Dr Ayone says

The development of the traizineshyresistant plants could have a wideshy

spread effect on the production of cole crops which are gaining inshycreasing a c eptance by health shyconscious consumers Cauliflower sales in Canada for example have doubled over the last five years to about 824 million annuaUy

Controlling broadIeaf weed species like wild mustard and shepherds purse will not onJy reduce weed competi tion with the cole crop plants but eradicate al ternative hosts of pests and disease says Dr Ayotte And the mechanical harvesting of cole crops will be made easier by the absence of tall weeds which can clog harvesting equipment

In addition to eliminating the need fo r hand hoeing the plants will offer farmers new alternatives in crop selection says Dr Ayotte

Response by seed companies to the triazine resi tance has been good says Chris Ostrovski technology devel o pment offi cer Offi ce of Research He expects the plants (Q be popular with cole crop producers thro ughout North America and Europe as well as in China where cole crops are a staple of the diet

RESEARCH BOOSTED BY MINISTRY RELOCATION

~ricultural research at the Univershysity will benefit from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food (OMAF) decision to move its headshyquarters and over 500 staff from Toronto to Guelph

The ministrys relocation here signals and solidifies the Universitys position as the leading agricultural research institution in Canada says Dr Larry Milligan Dean of Research It is a major step toward our goal of establishing the niversity as a world centre for sustained agricultural research and technology transfer

The decision to relocate OMAF headquarters is consistent with the Ontario governments decentrali shy

zation program The announcement was part of the April 28 throne peech Relocation is expected to be complete by 1991

In 1987-88 OMAF will contribute over S31 million towards agricultural research education and services at the UniverSity This funding helps support 478 agricultural research proshyjects at OAC and OVe

No other university in Canada has the very special and entirely compleshymentary relationship with its primary external research funding source that Guelph shares with OMM says Dr Milligan With the relocation that rapport can onJy grow

OVC GRADUATE HELPS SLEEPING CHILDREN AROUND THE WORLD

Give a child a comfortable nights rest and it helps to take his mind off his hunger and conserve his energy for the demands of the next day

That s the philosophy behind Sleeping Children Around the World (SCAW) a registered Canadian charitshyable organization founded by Murray and the late Margaret Dryden parents of National Hockey League goalshytenders Dave and Ken It s an organishyzation that has given Dr Gordon S BroW11 OVC 45 of Harrow a very rewarding purpose in li fe since retirement

Gordon opened a veterinary pracshytice in Essex in 1946 and was joined 11 years later by Dr Douglas McKelvie OVC 47 The practice evolved into a busy one treating both large and small animals but a car accident in 1980 made it impossible for Gordon to continue with the large animal part He sold the practice and opened a small animal clinic in Kingsville which he operated until retiring in 1986

While on an Alaskan cruise in 1977 Gordon and his wife June met the Drydens who told them about SCAW

We were impressed with their compassion for the oppressed chilshydren in the Third World countries and their strong desire to help by supplying comfort reports Gordon

The Browns became close friends with the Drydens and began to support their precious project In 1982 Murray Dryden invited Gordon to join him in distributing bed-kits in the Third World Each kit consists of a groundsheet mattress shee ts bl anket pillow and pillow case pajamas clothing and sometimes mosquito netting

SCAW is supported by private donashytion Every dollar donated is used to provide the bed-kits nothing is siphoned off for administration or travel expenses The money is sent to existing organizations in Third World countries like Rotary Kiwanis the Salvation Army Canadian Jesuits and

Dr Gordon S Brown OVC 45 and his wife June

Pentecostal missionaries It is their responsibility to purchase materials and have the ki ts made up

When I saw first -hand the tremen shydous need and joy upon receiving the bed-kits on that first trip [ had to continue and make this project a part of my life says Gordon He has now made four trips at his 0W11 expense iOlO India and the Hin1alayas Pakistan Bangladesh Sri Lanka Thailand and the Philippines On the last two trips his wife has accompanied him and become equally enthusiastic They make the trips to witness the distrishy

bution of the ki ts and take photos of the children holding the kits and labels with the donors names on them These photos are then sent to the donors as proof that the kits are being received

Each trip takes the Browns away from their home six to seven weeks in February and March This year 12000 bed-kits will be distributed

A 1985 SCAW newsletter reports on one distribution scene In Sri Lanka the Inner Wheel (Wives of Rotarians ) intricately planned a week of d istributions in 13 d ifferent locations One was a refugee camp where a few hundred people driven out of the northern part of the island by the Tamils had taken refuge in a Catholic Church Theywere sleeping on the cement floor inety of these fami lies had witnessed their husbands and fathers lined up and shot A water tnIck came in once a day as well as a food truck We had only 100 kits for this great need Our hearts really wenl out to these people

The Browns are plCltLied to describe their SCAW trips to large or small groups Thcy may be contacted at Box 1 Blue Water Beach RR 1 Harrow Ontario NOR IGO ( 519 ) 738-6587

RADIATION EQUIPMENT FURTHERS CANCER RESEARCH

A donation of orthovoltage and cobalt radiation equipment from Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto will enable OVC to establish a radioshytherapy unit in its small animal clinic by the end of the year The gift of the used equipment will cut the estimated $250000 cost of the unit by ahout half Funds are being sought from alumni and other sources for site development of the unit

The hospital learned ofoves need for a unit while involved in joint research on the radiation treatment of dogs with lymphoma cancer in 1983 Princess Margaret researchers developed a way to preserve bone marrow while irradiating the entire body The new treatment had exeelshy

lent potential to extend remission limes in patienrs Because canine and human lymphomas arc s imilar Princess Margaret officials asked ave to carry out research on dogs using the hospitals facilities

OVC researchers treated 14 dogs with lymphoma In II of those the tumors decreased significantly in size and did not reappear in some cases until SlX months later Without treat shyment veterinarians expected the dogs had about a month to live TIle results were encouraging although not at all conclusive because of the small number of research subjects

The project stopped in 1985 pri shymarily because of staffing and space

constraints at Princess Margaret When the new radiotherapy unit is in place veterinarians wi ll resume research to find ways of increasing the duration of the effectiveness of radiation treatment Princeslt Margaret rtsearchers will explore human applications

The research could lead to work in other cancers that act similarly in dogs and humans such as osteoshysarcoma the disease suffered by Terry Fox

NEW DEPARTMENT TO FOCUS ON HEALTH OF GROUPS

A new department of population medicine at ove is focusing on tbe health of groups of animals rathe r than individuals particularly on-farm species

The department draws personnel from the departments of Clinical Studies and Veterinary Microbiology and Immunology

OVC Dean Ole Nielsen says its important for the College to have a department whose basic philosophy is concerned with the health of the group rather than the individual Its particularly important for the agri shyculnlre industry because modern food

production tends to work with large groups

Population medicine is the study of the frequency distribution and cost of disease and the inter-relationships among disease managemem enshyvironment and productivity It also involves applied strategies for health management and the prevention and control of disease

Dr ielsen says population medishyc ine is in line with the new health maintenance orientation of courses in OVCs new curriculum and it capitalizes on many ofOllr streng[hs It is also in Line with the needs of

vcterinary medicine in the future he says

As we move to larger and more complex farming operations and the economic crunch worsens there will be more emphaSiS on effiCiency and cost-effectiveness he says Population medicine is concerned with the disshytribution causes and costs of disease in animals There is emphasis on numeracy using quantitative data to measure the cost benefits of health care

Dr Nielsen says the new department will put ove in the forefront in thc modern approach to health maintenshyance in food-pn ducing animals

Dve BRIEFLY

Ove has launched a new fundshyraising p roject called Pet Trust The object is to raise money for research into problems and diseases affecting small or companion animals to further work already proceeding in such areas as oncology ophthalmology orthoshypedics reconsrmctive surgery organ dysfunction lOaesthesia infectious diseases animal behavior and human animal bonding and to provide fu nds for fellowships

Kits containing information about the program have been sent out to every veterinary practice in Ontario and response has been heartening

A Board of Tmstees will approve research projects and grants establish policy and generally promote the Pet Trust Annual reports will also be issued

DOES P EQUAL NP By Mary Dickieson

Pub lic Relations and Informa tion

One of the most perplexing proshyblems in computer science may have been solved by Professor Ted Swan who has a joint appointment in the departments of Mathematics and Statistics and Computing and Inforshymation Science He has written a paper offering proof that P=NP To the layman th is means that we will now be able to solve problems that we formerly thought we could not he says

Professor Bill Smith chair of the Department of Mathematics and Statisshytics says that if Dr Swarts results are verified they will really be quite earth-shattering and exceptional shyof far -reaching significance in mathematics

Dr Swart cautions that the jury is stili ou t on whether his approach will be proved or disproved by his peers but already his pronouncement has caused a stir in the computer world The findings are of considerable interest to everyone working in this area says Professor Smith and they are an important contribution to the problem whether or not they are eventually accepted as stated

Dr Swart says his results are bound to be met by a great deal of proshyfessional suspicion because they are contrary to the prevailing thought Most people think that P does not equal P

Although the results are still theoreshytical Professor Smith and Dr Swart agree they could have a number of practical applications Industry commerce finance and most other sectors of society that use computers could benefit from Dr Swart s adshyvancement of one of the ftmdamental aspects of computer science the use of algorithms

People solve problems on comshyputers by using precisely defined sets of steps called algOrithms says Dr_ Swart Of the two classes ofcomputer problems class P refers to those for which good polynomial time

algorithms exist enabling them to be solved effiCiently on a computer Dr Swart cites the example of the minishymal connector problem which asks for a scheme to cormect a group of cities by telephone wires in such a way that the amount of wire used is minima l Good algori thms allow this problem to be solved easily regardshyless of the number ofcities involved he says

Computer problems in the second class - NP - are considered hard to solve_Large problems in this cateshygory cannot be solved on even the most powerful computers in the world because there are no algorithms that allow solution of the problem without escalating the number of calculations to a level beyond the capacity of computers Dr Swart says there are at least 1 000 known examples of proshyblems in this class of which the travelling salesman problem is one of the best known Even for a relatively small group of cities such as the 50 US capitals there has been no solushytion to the problem of devising a route that will enable a salesman to visit each ci ty only once while trashyvelling a mininlal distance

My results say these two classes of problems are equal and that there do exist good algorithms for solving this type of computer problem he says

To prove his results Dr Swarts paper cites a similar problem the Hamilton circuit which is illustrated by asking the question Can you visit each of several cities in succession Without backtracking

Dr Swarts problem establishes that the Hamilton circuit problem can be solved in polynomial time by conshyverting a mathematical programming formulation of the problem into a linear programming formulation and using existing polynomial ti me algorithms as established by Kachiyan and Kannarkar

The Significant feature of these results is that they will enable comshyputers to tackle larger problems with more unknowns and get the results more quickly

COMPUTER SCIENCE PROGRAM APPEALS TO STUDENTS

Guelphs new masters program in computer science which enrolled its fi rst students last September aims to move advanced information techshynology out of the research laboratory and into practical application says co-ordinator Professor Tom Wi on It combines graduate courses in the latest research developments with an applied thesis

Because there are only 13 students each has what can be called a tailorshymade program says Professor Wilson The Department of Computing and Information Science plans to accept another seven students this September and expects enrolment to grow to 30 with in the next few years - deshypending on the availability of faculty and space Even with that number the program will be smaller than others in the province so the level of personal contact and flexibil ity will remain high

Students in the program are often involved in problems that are of interest to other departments About two-thirds of the students are Guelph graduates - many with double degrees

TI1e undergraduate backgrounds of the students range from medicinal chemistry to philosophy and their research interests are just as varied as the following profiles indicate

RETIRING PROFESSOR HONORED

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry hosted a symposium in the spring on the molecular mechanshyisms underlying vertebrate visual transduction The symposium honored Professor Bill Abrahamson who retired May 1 It provided a review of current approaches to a field in which Professor AbJhamson s

communication He is developing softshyware that will allow dolphin comshymunication researchers at the nivershysity of Hawaii to extract information from a database using a natural language such as English rather than a computer language This would free them from having to learn comshyplex computer skills

Karl whose thesis adviser is Proshyfessor Mary Mcleish travelled to Hawaii in April to install a natural language processing system at the Kewalo Basin Marine Mammal laborashytory and to become more fami liar with the computers available there A graduate of Gue lph s computer science program Karl at 0 has an undergraduate degree in medicinal chemistry from Concordia University and has done graduate work in neuroshyscience at McMaster Medical Centre

Howard Pel ls special interest is fibre optics and their use in wide-area communication networks sing light instead of electricity offers amazing capabilities he says because teleshyphone television and computer data can be transmitted over a single piece of pi astie

Howard who is working under Professor Wilson has a joint BA C86) from Guelph in computer science and philosophy The undershygraouate program in computer science focused more on software says Howard but his preference is hardware The master s program allows him to devote his time to this first love

contributions are widely appreciated Speakers included Dr Barry Honig

DR JOHN POWEll RECEIVES MEDAL OF MERIT

Dr John Powell who retired as professor of Human Kinetics in 1984 received the niversitys Medal of Merit at spring convocation in recognishytion not only of his important contrishybutions to establishing the study of human structure and function at the University but also in appreciation of his dedication to the physical wellshybeing of mankind

During 20 years of service to the niversity Dr Powell served two

terms as Director of the School of Human Biology and Chairman of the Department of Human Kinetics Through his guidance the Department ofHuman Kintlics was established as part of the new College of Biological Science in 1971 and after retiring he received the College s first Merishytorious Service Medal

With the untimely death of Walter Vaughan in late 1983 the call came from the Presidents office to fill Secretary of Senate Dr Powell plugged the gap for seven months fulfilling his goal to serve at the University as well as the College and departrnentallevels

In 1983 the Faculty Association presented Dr Powell with the first University of Guelph Special Merit Award in recognition of teaching excellence curriculum development and dedication to his students

Included among Dr Powells achishyevements is the initiation of the Human Kinetics Student Symposium in 1971 This undertaking has become a popular annual campus event

Dr Powell served as Honorary Preshysident of the Human Kinetics Alumni Association from 1971 -83 and served as editor of both the Bio-Sci News in the Guelph Alumnus and the Human Kinetics Newsletter The Human Kinetics Alumn i Association has honored him with a scholarship in his nanle

When he arrived at Guelph in 1965 Dr Powell initiated and for five days a week still leads the CardioshyVascular Club This club has brought a genuine enjoyment of exercise into

the lives ofDr Powells many disciples In 1983 a film featuring the CardioshyVascular Club funded by the Univershysity of Guelph Alumni Association won acdaim from the Czechoslovashykian government The film was later shown in Budapest at the request of the Hungarian government Dr Powell was honored by Premier WilIian1 Davis in 1985 for his specific conshytrihution to cardiov-Scular rehabilishytation

For 15 years Or Powell has been a member of the I nternational Olympic Academy an institution that develops the theory ethics and procedures for the Olympic Games His contribution to the Academy was recognized by the He llenic Olympic Committee when it conferred upon him the prestigious rank of Collaborator and awarded him a silver medallion_ He also received one of two silver commemorative medals presented to Canadians in 1986 for devoted work to the youth of the world through the International Olympic Academy since 1972

Dr Powell has come up with a definition for the word Olympism wh ich has been officially accepted by the Canadian Olympic Association

PROFESSOR EMERITUS

PrOfessor emeritus status was bestowed on Professor John George Department of Zoology at spring convocation

Born and educated in India Proshyfessor George joined the University of Baroda in 1950 as the first head of its zoology department and over the next decade developed one of the leading zoology departments in India He came to Guelph as professor of zoology in 1967 a pOSition he held until his retirement in 1986

Twice a Fulbright FeUow Professor George has been an invited speaker at

Dr john Powel~ Left receives MedaL afMeritfrom Chancelor William A StfnVart at spring convocation

The word was first used in 1896 and continued to be used but had never been defined middotThe definition states that olympism is a harmony of ideas and ideals that affinn the value of Olympic sport in promoting and developing physical and moral quali shyties in individuals and in contributing to a better and more peaceful world by enabling nations to meet in an atmosphere of mutual respect and international amity

One word that Dr Powell hasnt come up with a definition for is retirement A self-proclaimed people person he continues to remain active on campus through the Human Kinetics Symposia and the Cardio-Vascular eurolub and also conshyducts back rehabilitation clinics through Medical Services As long as people need him he will have contrishybutions to make Im a very thankful man he says

PROFESSOR RETIRES

Drw George Barker was honored on his retirement recently at a dinner and reception hosted by the Departshyment of Botany Dr Barkers career in plant science includes two periods at the University of Guelph From 1972 to 1983 he was chair of the Depart shyment of Botany and Genetics in the newly-formed College of Biological Science and was instrumental in guiding the department into new strengths in Botany Ecology and Genetics The emerging Genetics section became the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics in 1983

Dr Barker a native of Stratford served in Europe during World War II as a captain in the Provost Company of the Canadian Army On his return he earned his BSe (1947 ) and MSc ( 1949 ) at the University of Western Ontario His masters thesis was con shycerned with the effect of ethyl carbashymate on mitotic activity in plants This biologically-active compound recently made headlines as a contashyminant of certain wines

In 1953 Dr Barker received his PhD from the University ofMichigan for h is thesis on the proliferation of bass wood taken from 50-year-old trunk tissue demonstrating that these cells retained full developmental capashycity From this time on Dr Barker has maintained an interest in plant tissue culture

From 1952-54Dr Barker was assisshytant professor in the Department of Botany ( then OAC) During this period he perfected the technique of produci ng tubers in vitro This approach remains a cornerstone of modem biotechnology with potatoes

From 1955 to 1960 Dr Barker worked with the United Fmit Comshypany in Costa Rica Honduras and at Cornell developing practical methods of banana propagation still in wideshyspread use and carrying out basic studies on morphology and anatomy He became co-ordinator of research on lowbush blueberries at the Agri shyc ultural Rese a r c h Stat ion in Frederic ton and in 1964 w as appointed Director of the Biological Teaching Unit University of Manitoba

Dr W George Barker

When Dr Barker returned to Guelph in 1972 he llsed his long shyestablished experience in basic and applied research and teaching to build a new department in a new College He leaves behind a strong teaching department which also has an estab shyli shed in ternational research reputalion

Dr Keith Ronald director of the Arboretum and former dean of CBS announced that a Scotch pine in the Arboretum had been dedicated in honor of Dr Barkers contribution to all aipects ofUniversity life Dr Bruce Sells dean of CBS emphasized Dr Barkers pivotaJ role in initiating strong programs in three areas of biological science and presented him with a chair on behalf of the College Dr ] Derek Bewley present chair of Botany thanked Dr Barker for his help and guidance and presented a VCR from the 100 alumni students staff and faculty members in attendance at the dinner

CSS GRAD AIMS FOR OLYMPIC GOLD Andre Bordeleau C5S 79 MA 85 is determined to earn an Olympic gold medal in running game target shooting - no matter how long it takes

It may take a long time Im a late bloomer but I figure I have another 20 years to try Age is not a big problem in my sport and at least J didnt have to sacrifice my childhood to get where I am today says the 30-yearmiddotold political science graduate

Running game target requires the shooter using a 22-caJibre rifle to hit a wild pig moving on a 10-metre rail at 72 mph 144 mph or mixed speed middot from a distance of 50 metres There are many different versions of the sport but the Olympic discipline consists of 30 shots at the slower speed (slow runs ) and 30 at the faster speed ( fast runs)

Andre Bordeleau CSS 79 MA 85 is aimingfor O~yrnpic gold in running game target shooting

The CSSAlumniAssociation cut a cake during Alumni Weekend to celebrate its 10th anniversary Taking part were lef t to right Sandra Couch and Barbara Chance board directorsjohn Aviano newpresident and his wife Inara and facui~y advisor Victor Ujim

Andre became captivated by the sport of shooting when he had a job as an offi cial d river at the L976 Olympics in Montreal

Like most French-Canadian boys I wanted to p lay hockey for the Montreal Canadiens I have the size - 6-feet-l and 215 pounds - bUl there is a problem I cant skate Something to do with small curvatures in my spine nothing serious but enough to throw out my balance So since I couldnt be a professional hockey player I decided to become an Olympic amateur athlete

In pursuit of his goal Andre left his home in Montreal to study at the

niversity of Guelph in 1976 I wanted to srudy some place like Ontario where I could become bishylingual and Guelph was one of only three universities in the province with a rifle range he explains The University of Guelph Rifle Team won three Ontario championships from 1979-81

Andre started out on the Universitys rifle team shooting at stationary tarmiddot gets bu t decided to concentrate on running gan1e because it is more suited to his hyperactive personality He went to the Canadian championships in 1977 and placed ninth At a national competition in 1981 he set two Canadian records one of which stood for three years In 1984 he won the provincial championships and set a provincial record which still stands Also in 1984 he was invited to the Olympic trials and despite sustaining a concussion in a car accident on the first day of shooting he placed third Unfortunately only the first and second place winners qualified for the Olympics

In 1986 Andre went to his first international match the World Championships in East Gemlany He shot below his average and placed 46th in the 10 metre air rifle event an indoor scaled-down version ofmnning game target

1 was disappointed but I learned a lot Before I went [wasnt ranked in

24

the world at all At least now Im ranked he says

Undaunted he is currently training for the 1988 Olympics with national running game target team coach Dick Esseltine of Peterborough and he tries to practise at the Guelph rifle range eve1 day

Running game target shooting re shyquires concentration physica l stamina eye-band co-ordination and balance But staying in financial shape is a bigger challenge for Andre than staying physically fit Unable to find a job relating to his degrees he works as a night supervisor at Stonehenge a drug rehabilitation ce ntre near Guelph While he meets his liing expenses he is struggling to pay back stude nt loans and keep up with expenses incurred as an amateur athlete

Although he estimates he has dug a 860000 hole since making the move to Guelph and devoting himself to shootinghe has no regrets He says Guelph has been a good experience culturally and linguistically He views it as the place where he started a rich amateur career and as he plods on toward Olympic gold he takes satisshyfaction in his many smaller accomshyplishments

I believe in pursuing excellence Ive set the ultimate goal ( OLympic gold) and Im going to do my best to achieve it

INDUSTRIAL ORGAN IZA TIONAL

PSYCHOLOGY MEETS GROWING DEMAND

Ahigh demand for industrial psychoshylogists in Canada has led the Departshyment of Psychology to introduce a new graduate option

I ndllstriallOrganizaliorudPsychoshylogy is being added to the masters program for specialized training which could lead to work in personncl management job dcsign and analysis organizational consulting or health and safety in the workplace

The demand for industriaL PSTchoshylogists has been brought about by rapidly changing technology business growth and legislation in the areas of workplace safety human rights equal pay amI equal employment opportuni shyties Because there are few structured graduate programs in Canada to meet this need industrial psychologists have receiytd their training in the US Othe rs have trained themselves on the job

Steven Cranshaw who earned his PhD in industrial organizational

psychology at the University ofAkron is developing the new program at Guelph He was formerly at thc Univershysity of Waterloo and is currently chairman of the industrialorganizashytional section of the Canadian Psychoshylogical Association

The department is also pursuing a joint PhD program in industrial organizational psychology with the University of Waterloo It will offer training to the highest professionaJ standards in orth America

Dr Cranshawsays a 198687 survey done by Canada Employment and Immigration lists industrial organil3shytional psychology as an area of high job demand in the near future As graduates of the Guelph program become finnly established in the work force it will become readily apparent that this University is pLaying a major ro le in improving the quality of working life

WHATS NEW IN THE DEPARTMENTS POLITICAL STUDIES In September the department will introduce a dis shytance education diploma program in Public Policy and Administrat ion taught by Professor Richard Phidd The comprehensive program conshysisting of 10 courses at the undershygraduate level will provide an inte llectuaJ component to the workshyplace experiences of profeSSionals Distance education makes the depart shyments programs and courses more widely available to people in the work force ECONOMICS Professor Louis

Christofides is the new department chairman A major change which will take place LInder his direction is the establishment of a PhD program in resource and environmental econo shymics Professor Christofidcs aJso plans to oversee a review of the undershygraduate program He says the review will determine whether an approshypriate core course sequence is in place and whether the curriculum can be improved More spacc and the recmitment of quality facu lty and graduate students are also among his goals

GEOGRAPHY The birth ofProfessor Barry Smits daughter March 3 had some frantic moments Hanna was born in the family car as the harried father-to-be sped through the night to Guelph General Hospital She was dubbed Speedy Smit by the hospital staff and is a sister for two-year-old Emily Mother Ruth Ann and the baby came through the experience none the worse for wear but Professor Smit m ust have been glad to get back to the old routine of classes and lectures At least theyre fairly predictable

SOIL EROSION GETS SPECIAL ATTENTION

T he new Centre for Soil and Water Conservation will provide a focal point for research on the degradation of soil and water resources says the Centres director Land Resource Science Professor Murray Miller OAC 53

Soil erosion costs Ontario farmers an estimated $68 million a year in nutriem and yield losses says Dr Miller [n 19S4 a Senate report on soil conservation described erosion as the most serious agricultural crisis in Canadas history and predicted the loss of a major portion of Canadas agricultural capability ifprompt action were not taken

The loss of productive topsoil is not the only problem Soil erosion is the cause of major pollution of Ontarios Great Lakes Runoff from farm land is the source of about twoshythirds of the phosphorus that is desshytroying marine life in Lake Erie Dr Miller says

The problem has become so serious that the federal government and province of Ontario have agreed to spend 830 million over tlve years to reduce phosphorus inputs to the lakes And the Omario Ministry of Agriculshyntre and Food has established a soiJ

TURFGRASS INSTITUTE The University will become a centre of Canadian turfgrass research edushycation and extension now that Senate has given the go-ahead to establish a Guelph Turfgrass Institute (GTI)

Sponsored by the Ontario Ministry ofAgriculrure and Food the niversity and the turfgrass industry GTI - the first centre of its kind in Canada shywill be housed in a new building on Stone Road

GTI will support a provincial turfshygrass industry valued at more than 240 million It will create a favorable

environment for research in turfgrass science an extension program and courses and seminars in ntrfgrass

and water management branch to put greater emphasis on this area

There is a serious need for research on soil and water conservation says Dr Miller and Guelph will be much better able to meet that need with a co-ordlnated program on campus

About 25 tlculty members in various disciplines at the University have expershytise in soil and water conservation Dr Miller expects the Centre to increase the visibility and accessibility of Guelphs expertise allowing Guelph to assist government industry and other groups with soil and water conservation problems

One of the Centres first contracts is with Agriculture Canadas Soil and Water Environmental Enhancement Program to prepare an in-depth background report on soil and water conservation in southwestern Ontario

HORTICULTURALISTS FILE PATENT APPLICATION FOR TRIAZINEmiddotRESISTANT CROPS

By Owen Roberts O ffice of Research

One of the few places where farmers still have to hack at weeds with a hand hoe is among their rows ofbroccoIi cabbage cauliflower and Brussels sprouts - the cole crops Few effective herbicides exist for these crops The need for manual labor has kept the hoe busy but slowed the development of a Canadian cole crop industry

A breakthrough at the University however could not only make hand hoeing a chore of the past but heighten the importance of cole crops in Canadian agriculture Dr Renald Ayotte OAC 82 and a recent PhD graduate in Horticultural Science and his supervisors Professors Pat f lamey and Vince Souza-Machado OAC PhD 76 have filed a patent application for cole crops varieties that are resistant to the triazine fanli1y of herbicides

ormally these broad leaf plants are killed by triazine herbicides but the new plants have genetic traits that make them invulnerable to that common herbicide group Dr Ayotte says this research will find immediate application in the field

The secret is the development of a seed with triazine-resistant cytoplasm he says By cro sbreeding and backshycrossing cole crops with spring rapeshyseed (a Guelph-developed triazineshyresistant plant) the researchers created new plant bearing the nuclear genes of the cole crops and the ltylOplasmic genes of the rapeseed The result is a triazine-resistant cole crop

Breeding herbicide resistance into plants is a relatively new way of dealing with weeds in horticultural crops The traditional chemical approach has been [Q develop new compounds or extend the use of established herbicides to crops But because of the increasing costs of research and development the unshyattractive economics of herbicides for low-acreage crops and the strinshygent controls over registration standard few horticultural herbicides

Dr Renald Ayotte OAC 82

have been brought onstream It is these factors that led to this col crop project Dr Ayone says

The development of the traizineshyresistant plants could have a wideshy

spread effect on the production of cole crops which are gaining inshycreasing a c eptance by health shyconscious consumers Cauliflower sales in Canada for example have doubled over the last five years to about 824 million annuaUy

Controlling broadIeaf weed species like wild mustard and shepherds purse will not onJy reduce weed competi tion with the cole crop plants but eradicate al ternative hosts of pests and disease says Dr Ayotte And the mechanical harvesting of cole crops will be made easier by the absence of tall weeds which can clog harvesting equipment

In addition to eliminating the need fo r hand hoeing the plants will offer farmers new alternatives in crop selection says Dr Ayotte

Response by seed companies to the triazine resi tance has been good says Chris Ostrovski technology devel o pment offi cer Offi ce of Research He expects the plants (Q be popular with cole crop producers thro ughout North America and Europe as well as in China where cole crops are a staple of the diet

RESEARCH BOOSTED BY MINISTRY RELOCATION

~ricultural research at the Univershysity will benefit from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food (OMAF) decision to move its headshyquarters and over 500 staff from Toronto to Guelph

The ministrys relocation here signals and solidifies the Universitys position as the leading agricultural research institution in Canada says Dr Larry Milligan Dean of Research It is a major step toward our goal of establishing the niversity as a world centre for sustained agricultural research and technology transfer

The decision to relocate OMAF headquarters is consistent with the Ontario governments decentrali shy

zation program The announcement was part of the April 28 throne peech Relocation is expected to be complete by 1991

In 1987-88 OMAF will contribute over S31 million towards agricultural research education and services at the UniverSity This funding helps support 478 agricultural research proshyjects at OAC and OVe

No other university in Canada has the very special and entirely compleshymentary relationship with its primary external research funding source that Guelph shares with OMM says Dr Milligan With the relocation that rapport can onJy grow

OVC GRADUATE HELPS SLEEPING CHILDREN AROUND THE WORLD

Give a child a comfortable nights rest and it helps to take his mind off his hunger and conserve his energy for the demands of the next day

That s the philosophy behind Sleeping Children Around the World (SCAW) a registered Canadian charitshyable organization founded by Murray and the late Margaret Dryden parents of National Hockey League goalshytenders Dave and Ken It s an organishyzation that has given Dr Gordon S BroW11 OVC 45 of Harrow a very rewarding purpose in li fe since retirement

Gordon opened a veterinary pracshytice in Essex in 1946 and was joined 11 years later by Dr Douglas McKelvie OVC 47 The practice evolved into a busy one treating both large and small animals but a car accident in 1980 made it impossible for Gordon to continue with the large animal part He sold the practice and opened a small animal clinic in Kingsville which he operated until retiring in 1986

While on an Alaskan cruise in 1977 Gordon and his wife June met the Drydens who told them about SCAW

We were impressed with their compassion for the oppressed chilshydren in the Third World countries and their strong desire to help by supplying comfort reports Gordon

The Browns became close friends with the Drydens and began to support their precious project In 1982 Murray Dryden invited Gordon to join him in distributing bed-kits in the Third World Each kit consists of a groundsheet mattress shee ts bl anket pillow and pillow case pajamas clothing and sometimes mosquito netting

SCAW is supported by private donashytion Every dollar donated is used to provide the bed-kits nothing is siphoned off for administration or travel expenses The money is sent to existing organizations in Third World countries like Rotary Kiwanis the Salvation Army Canadian Jesuits and

Dr Gordon S Brown OVC 45 and his wife June

Pentecostal missionaries It is their responsibility to purchase materials and have the ki ts made up

When I saw first -hand the tremen shydous need and joy upon receiving the bed-kits on that first trip [ had to continue and make this project a part of my life says Gordon He has now made four trips at his 0W11 expense iOlO India and the Hin1alayas Pakistan Bangladesh Sri Lanka Thailand and the Philippines On the last two trips his wife has accompanied him and become equally enthusiastic They make the trips to witness the distrishy

bution of the ki ts and take photos of the children holding the kits and labels with the donors names on them These photos are then sent to the donors as proof that the kits are being received

Each trip takes the Browns away from their home six to seven weeks in February and March This year 12000 bed-kits will be distributed

A 1985 SCAW newsletter reports on one distribution scene In Sri Lanka the Inner Wheel (Wives of Rotarians ) intricately planned a week of d istributions in 13 d ifferent locations One was a refugee camp where a few hundred people driven out of the northern part of the island by the Tamils had taken refuge in a Catholic Church Theywere sleeping on the cement floor inety of these fami lies had witnessed their husbands and fathers lined up and shot A water tnIck came in once a day as well as a food truck We had only 100 kits for this great need Our hearts really wenl out to these people

The Browns are plCltLied to describe their SCAW trips to large or small groups Thcy may be contacted at Box 1 Blue Water Beach RR 1 Harrow Ontario NOR IGO ( 519 ) 738-6587

RADIATION EQUIPMENT FURTHERS CANCER RESEARCH

A donation of orthovoltage and cobalt radiation equipment from Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto will enable OVC to establish a radioshytherapy unit in its small animal clinic by the end of the year The gift of the used equipment will cut the estimated $250000 cost of the unit by ahout half Funds are being sought from alumni and other sources for site development of the unit

The hospital learned ofoves need for a unit while involved in joint research on the radiation treatment of dogs with lymphoma cancer in 1983 Princess Margaret researchers developed a way to preserve bone marrow while irradiating the entire body The new treatment had exeelshy

lent potential to extend remission limes in patienrs Because canine and human lymphomas arc s imilar Princess Margaret officials asked ave to carry out research on dogs using the hospitals facilities

OVC researchers treated 14 dogs with lymphoma In II of those the tumors decreased significantly in size and did not reappear in some cases until SlX months later Without treat shyment veterinarians expected the dogs had about a month to live TIle results were encouraging although not at all conclusive because of the small number of research subjects

The project stopped in 1985 pri shymarily because of staffing and space

constraints at Princess Margaret When the new radiotherapy unit is in place veterinarians wi ll resume research to find ways of increasing the duration of the effectiveness of radiation treatment Princeslt Margaret rtsearchers will explore human applications

The research could lead to work in other cancers that act similarly in dogs and humans such as osteoshysarcoma the disease suffered by Terry Fox

NEW DEPARTMENT TO FOCUS ON HEALTH OF GROUPS

A new department of population medicine at ove is focusing on tbe health of groups of animals rathe r than individuals particularly on-farm species

The department draws personnel from the departments of Clinical Studies and Veterinary Microbiology and Immunology

OVC Dean Ole Nielsen says its important for the College to have a department whose basic philosophy is concerned with the health of the group rather than the individual Its particularly important for the agri shyculnlre industry because modern food

production tends to work with large groups

Population medicine is the study of the frequency distribution and cost of disease and the inter-relationships among disease managemem enshyvironment and productivity It also involves applied strategies for health management and the prevention and control of disease

Dr ielsen says population medishyc ine is in line with the new health maintenance orientation of courses in OVCs new curriculum and it capitalizes on many ofOllr streng[hs It is also in Line with the needs of

vcterinary medicine in the future he says

As we move to larger and more complex farming operations and the economic crunch worsens there will be more emphaSiS on effiCiency and cost-effectiveness he says Population medicine is concerned with the disshytribution causes and costs of disease in animals There is emphasis on numeracy using quantitative data to measure the cost benefits of health care

Dr Nielsen says the new department will put ove in the forefront in thc modern approach to health maintenshyance in food-pn ducing animals

Dve BRIEFLY

Ove has launched a new fundshyraising p roject called Pet Trust The object is to raise money for research into problems and diseases affecting small or companion animals to further work already proceeding in such areas as oncology ophthalmology orthoshypedics reconsrmctive surgery organ dysfunction lOaesthesia infectious diseases animal behavior and human animal bonding and to provide fu nds for fellowships

Kits containing information about the program have been sent out to every veterinary practice in Ontario and response has been heartening

A Board of Tmstees will approve research projects and grants establish policy and generally promote the Pet Trust Annual reports will also be issued

DOES P EQUAL NP By Mary Dickieson

Pub lic Relations and Informa tion

One of the most perplexing proshyblems in computer science may have been solved by Professor Ted Swan who has a joint appointment in the departments of Mathematics and Statistics and Computing and Inforshymation Science He has written a paper offering proof that P=NP To the layman th is means that we will now be able to solve problems that we formerly thought we could not he says

Professor Bill Smith chair of the Department of Mathematics and Statisshytics says that if Dr Swarts results are verified they will really be quite earth-shattering and exceptional shyof far -reaching significance in mathematics

Dr Swart cautions that the jury is stili ou t on whether his approach will be proved or disproved by his peers but already his pronouncement has caused a stir in the computer world The findings are of considerable interest to everyone working in this area says Professor Smith and they are an important contribution to the problem whether or not they are eventually accepted as stated

Dr Swart says his results are bound to be met by a great deal of proshyfessional suspicion because they are contrary to the prevailing thought Most people think that P does not equal P

Although the results are still theoreshytical Professor Smith and Dr Swart agree they could have a number of practical applications Industry commerce finance and most other sectors of society that use computers could benefit from Dr Swart s adshyvancement of one of the ftmdamental aspects of computer science the use of algorithms

People solve problems on comshyputers by using precisely defined sets of steps called algOrithms says Dr_ Swart Of the two classes ofcomputer problems class P refers to those for which good polynomial time

algorithms exist enabling them to be solved effiCiently on a computer Dr Swart cites the example of the minishymal connector problem which asks for a scheme to cormect a group of cities by telephone wires in such a way that the amount of wire used is minima l Good algori thms allow this problem to be solved easily regardshyless of the number ofcities involved he says

Computer problems in the second class - NP - are considered hard to solve_Large problems in this cateshygory cannot be solved on even the most powerful computers in the world because there are no algorithms that allow solution of the problem without escalating the number of calculations to a level beyond the capacity of computers Dr Swart says there are at least 1 000 known examples of proshyblems in this class of which the travelling salesman problem is one of the best known Even for a relatively small group of cities such as the 50 US capitals there has been no solushytion to the problem of devising a route that will enable a salesman to visit each ci ty only once while trashyvelling a mininlal distance

My results say these two classes of problems are equal and that there do exist good algorithms for solving this type of computer problem he says

To prove his results Dr Swarts paper cites a similar problem the Hamilton circuit which is illustrated by asking the question Can you visit each of several cities in succession Without backtracking

Dr Swarts problem establishes that the Hamilton circuit problem can be solved in polynomial time by conshyverting a mathematical programming formulation of the problem into a linear programming formulation and using existing polynomial ti me algorithms as established by Kachiyan and Kannarkar

The Significant feature of these results is that they will enable comshyputers to tackle larger problems with more unknowns and get the results more quickly

COMPUTER SCIENCE PROGRAM APPEALS TO STUDENTS

Guelphs new masters program in computer science which enrolled its fi rst students last September aims to move advanced information techshynology out of the research laboratory and into practical application says co-ordinator Professor Tom Wi on It combines graduate courses in the latest research developments with an applied thesis

Because there are only 13 students each has what can be called a tailorshymade program says Professor Wilson The Department of Computing and Information Science plans to accept another seven students this September and expects enrolment to grow to 30 with in the next few years - deshypending on the availability of faculty and space Even with that number the program will be smaller than others in the province so the level of personal contact and flexibil ity will remain high

Students in the program are often involved in problems that are of interest to other departments About two-thirds of the students are Guelph graduates - many with double degrees

TI1e undergraduate backgrounds of the students range from medicinal chemistry to philosophy and their research interests are just as varied as the following profiles indicate

Talking to Dolphins

Karl Langton CPS 84 is combining research in artificial intelligence with a long-standing interest in dolphin

RETIRING PROFESSOR HONORED

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry hosted a symposium in the spring on the molecular mechanshyisms underlying vertebrate visual transduction The symposium honored Professor Bill Abrahamson who retired May 1 It provided a review of current approaches to a field in which Professor AbJhamson s

communication He is developing softshyware that will allow dolphin comshymunication researchers at the nivershysity of Hawaii to extract information from a database using a natural language such as English rather than a computer language This would free them from having to learn comshyplex computer skills

Karl whose thesis adviser is Proshyfessor Mary Mcleish travelled to Hawaii in April to install a natural language processing system at the Kewalo Basin Marine Mammal laborashytory and to become more fami liar with the computers available there A graduate of Gue lph s computer science program Karl at 0 has an undergraduate degree in medicinal chemistry from Concordia University and has done graduate work in neuroshyscience at McMaster Medical Centre

Howard Pel ls special interest is fibre optics and their use in wide-area communication networks sing light instead of electricity offers amazing capabilities he says because teleshyphone television and computer data can be transmitted over a single piece of pi astie

Howard who is working under Professor Wilson has a joint BA C86) from Guelph in computer science and philosophy The undershygraouate program in computer science focused more on software says Howard but his preference is hardware The master s program allows him to devote his time to this first love

contributions are widely appreciated Speakers included Dr Barry Honig

DR JOHN POWEll RECEIVES MEDAL OF MERIT

Dr John Powell who retired as professor of Human Kinetics in 1984 received the niversitys Medal of Merit at spring convocation in recognishytion not only of his important contrishybutions to establishing the study of human structure and function at the University but also in appreciation of his dedication to the physical wellshybeing of mankind

During 20 years of service to the niversity Dr Powell served two

terms as Director of the School of Human Biology and Chairman of the Department of Human Kinetics Through his guidance the Department ofHuman Kintlics was established as part of the new College of Biological Science in 1971 and after retiring he received the College s first Merishytorious Service Medal

With the untimely death of Walter Vaughan in late 1983 the call came from the Presidents office to fill Secretary of Senate Dr Powell plugged the gap for seven months fulfilling his goal to serve at the University as well as the College and departrnentallevels

In 1983 the Faculty Association presented Dr Powell with the first University of Guelph Special Merit Award in recognition of teaching excellence curriculum development and dedication to his students

Included among Dr Powells achishyevements is the initiation of the Human Kinetics Student Symposium in 1971 This undertaking has become a popular annual campus event

Dr Powell served as Honorary Preshysident of the Human Kinetics Alumni Association from 1971 -83 and served as editor of both the Bio-Sci News in the Guelph Alumnus and the Human Kinetics Newsletter The Human Kinetics Alumn i Association has honored him with a scholarship in his nanle

When he arrived at Guelph in 1965 Dr Powell initiated and for five days a week still leads the CardioshyVascular Club This club has brought a genuine enjoyment of exercise into

CSS GRAD AIMS FOR OLYMPIC GOLD Andre Bordeleau C5S 79 MA 85 is determined to earn an Olympic gold medal in running game target shooting - no matter how long it takes

It may take a long time Im a late bloomer but I figure I have another 20 years to try Age is not a big problem in my sport and at least J didnt have to sacrifice my childhood to get where I am today says the 30-yearmiddotold political science graduate

Running game target requires the shooter using a 22-caJibre rifle to hit a wild pig moving on a 10-metre rail at 72 mph 144 mph or mixed speed middot from a distance of 50 metres There are many different versions of the sport but the Olympic discipline consists of 30 shots at the slower speed (slow runs ) and 30 at the faster speed ( fast runs)

Andre Bordeleau CSS 79 MA 85 is aimingfor O~yrnpic gold in running game target shooting

The CSSAlumniAssociation cut a cake during Alumni Weekend to celebrate its 10th anniversary Taking part were lef t to right Sandra Couch and Barbara Chance board directorsjohn Aviano newpresident and his wife Inara and facui~y advisor Victor Ujim

Andre became captivated by the sport of shooting when he had a job as an offi cial d river at the L976 Olympics in Montreal

Like most French-Canadian boys I wanted to p lay hockey for the Montreal Canadiens I have the size - 6-feet-l and 215 pounds - bUl there is a problem I cant skate Something to do with small curvatures in my spine nothing serious but enough to throw out my balance So since I couldnt be a professional hockey player I decided to become an Olympic amateur athlete

In pursuit of his goal Andre left his home in Montreal to study at the

niversity of Guelph in 1976 I wanted to srudy some place like Ontario where I could become bishylingual and Guelph was one of only three universities in the province with a rifle range he explains The University of Guelph Rifle Team won three Ontario championships from 1979-81

Andre started out on the Universitys rifle team shooting at stationary tarmiddot gets bu t decided to concentrate on running gan1e because it is more suited to his hyperactive personality He went to the Canadian championships in 1977 and placed ninth At a national competition in 1981 he set two Canadian records one of which stood for three years In 1984 he won the provincial championships and set a provincial record which still stands Also in 1984 he was invited to the Olympic trials and despite sustaining a concussion in a car accident on the first day of shooting he placed third Unfortunately only the first and second place winners qualified for the Olympics

In 1986 Andre went to his first international match the World Championships in East Gemlany He shot below his average and placed 46th in the 10 metre air rifle event an indoor scaled-down version ofmnning game target

1 was disappointed but I learned a lot Before I went [wasnt ranked in

24

the world at all At least now Im ranked he says

Undaunted he is currently training for the 1988 Olympics with national running game target team coach Dick Esseltine of Peterborough and he tries to practise at the Guelph rifle range eve1 day

Running game target shooting re shyquires concentration physica l stamina eye-band co-ordination and balance But staying in financial shape is a bigger challenge for Andre than staying physically fit Unable to find a job relating to his degrees he works as a night supervisor at Stonehenge a drug rehabilitation ce ntre near Guelph While he meets his liing expenses he is struggling to pay back stude nt loans and keep up with expenses incurred as an amateur athlete

Although he estimates he has dug a 860000 hole since making the move to Guelph and devoting himself to shootinghe has no regrets He says Guelph has been a good experience culturally and linguistically He views it as the place where he started a rich amateur career and as he plods on toward Olympic gold he takes satisshyfaction in his many smaller accomshyplishments

I believe in pursuing excellence Ive set the ultimate goal ( OLympic gold) and Im going to do my best to achieve it

INDUSTRIAL ORGAN IZA TIONAL

PSYCHOLOGY MEETS GROWING DEMAND

Ahigh demand for industrial psychoshylogists in Canada has led the Departshyment of Psychology to introduce a new graduate option

I ndllstriallOrganizaliorudPsychoshylogy is being added to the masters program for specialized training which could lead to work in personncl management job dcsign and analysis organizational consulting or health and safety in the workplace

The demand for industriaL PSTchoshylogists has been brought about by rapidly changing technology business growth and legislation in the areas of workplace safety human rights equal pay amI equal employment opportuni shyties Because there are few structured graduate programs in Canada to meet this need industrial psychologists have receiytd their training in the US Othe rs have trained themselves on the job

Steven Cranshaw who earned his PhD in industrial organizational

psychology at the University ofAkron is developing the new program at Guelph He was formerly at thc Univershysity of Waterloo and is currently chairman of the industrialorganizashytional section of the Canadian Psychoshylogical Association

The department is also pursuing a joint PhD program in industrial organizational psychology with the University of Waterloo It will offer training to the highest professionaJ standards in orth America

Dr Cranshawsays a 198687 survey done by Canada Employment and Immigration lists industrial organil3shytional psychology as an area of high job demand in the near future As graduates of the Guelph program become finnly established in the work force it will become readily apparent that this University is pLaying a major ro le in improving the quality of working life

WHATS NEW IN THE DEPARTMENTS POLITICAL STUDIES In September the department will introduce a dis shytance education diploma program in Public Policy and Administrat ion taught by Professor Richard Phidd The comprehensive program conshysisting of 10 courses at the undershygraduate level will provide an inte llectuaJ component to the workshyplace experiences of profeSSionals Distance education makes the depart shyments programs and courses more widely available to people in the work force ECONOMICS Professor Louis

Christofides is the new department chairman A major change which will take place LInder his direction is the establishment of a PhD program in resource and environmental econo shymics Professor Christofidcs aJso plans to oversee a review of the undershygraduate program He says the review will determine whether an approshypriate core course sequence is in place and whether the curriculum can be improved More spacc and the recmitment of quality facu lty and graduate students are also among his goals

GEOGRAPHY The birth ofProfessor Barry Smits daughter March 3 had some frantic moments Hanna was born in the family car as the harried father-to-be sped through the night to Guelph General Hospital She was dubbed Speedy Smit by the hospital staff and is a sister for two-year-old Emily Mother Ruth Ann and the baby came through the experience none the worse for wear but Professor Smit m ust have been glad to get back to the old routine of classes and lectures At least theyre fairly predictable

HORTICULTURALISTS FILE PATENT APPLICATION FOR TRIAZINEmiddotRESISTANT CROPS

By Owen Roberts O ffice of Research

One of the few places where farmers still have to hack at weeds with a hand hoe is among their rows ofbroccoIi cabbage cauliflower and Brussels sprouts - the cole crops Few effective herbicides exist for these crops The need for manual labor has kept the hoe busy but slowed the development of a Canadian cole crop industry

A breakthrough at the University however could not only make hand hoeing a chore of the past but heighten the importance of cole crops in Canadian agriculture Dr Renald Ayotte OAC 82 and a recent PhD graduate in Horticultural Science and his supervisors Professors Pat f lamey and Vince Souza-Machado OAC PhD 76 have filed a patent application for cole crops varieties that are resistant to the triazine fanli1y of herbicides

ormally these broad leaf plants are killed by triazine herbicides but the new plants have genetic traits that make them invulnerable to that common herbicide group Dr Ayotte says this research will find immediate application in the field

The secret is the development of a seed with triazine-resistant cytoplasm he says By cro sbreeding and backshycrossing cole crops with spring rapeshyseed (a Guelph-developed triazineshyresistant plant) the researchers created new plant bearing the nuclear genes of the cole crops and the ltylOplasmic genes of the rapeseed The result is a triazine-resistant cole crop

Breeding herbicide resistance into plants is a relatively new way of dealing with weeds in horticultural crops The traditional chemical approach has been [Q develop new compounds or extend the use of established herbicides to crops But because of the increasing costs of research and development the unshyattractive economics of herbicides for low-acreage crops and the strinshygent controls over registration standard few horticultural herbicides

Dr Renald Ayotte OAC 82

have been brought onstream It is these factors that led to this col crop project Dr Ayone says

The development of the traizineshyresistant plants could have a wideshy

spread effect on the production of cole crops which are gaining inshycreasing a c eptance by health shyconscious consumers Cauliflower sales in Canada for example have doubled over the last five years to about 824 million annuaUy

Controlling broadIeaf weed species like wild mustard and shepherds purse will not onJy reduce weed competi tion with the cole crop plants but eradicate al ternative hosts of pests and disease says Dr Ayotte And the mechanical harvesting of cole crops will be made easier by the absence of tall weeds which can clog harvesting equipment

In addition to eliminating the need fo r hand hoeing the plants will offer farmers new alternatives in crop selection says Dr Ayotte

Response by seed companies to the triazine resi tance has been good says Chris Ostrovski technology devel o pment offi cer Offi ce of Research He expects the plants (Q be popular with cole crop producers thro ughout North America and Europe as well as in China where cole crops are a staple of the diet

RESEARCH BOOSTED BY MINISTRY RELOCATION

~ricultural research at the Univershysity will benefit from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food (OMAF) decision to move its headshyquarters and over 500 staff from Toronto to Guelph

The ministrys relocation here signals and solidifies the Universitys position as the leading agricultural research institution in Canada says Dr Larry Milligan Dean of Research It is a major step toward our goal of establishing the niversity as a world centre for sustained agricultural research and technology transfer

The decision to relocate OMAF headquarters is consistent with the Ontario governments decentrali shy

zation program The announcement was part of the April 28 throne peech Relocation is expected to be complete by 1991

In 1987-88 OMAF will contribute over S31 million towards agricultural research education and services at the UniverSity This funding helps support 478 agricultural research proshyjects at OAC and OVe

No other university in Canada has the very special and entirely compleshymentary relationship with its primary external research funding source that Guelph shares with OMM says Dr Milligan With the relocation that rapport can onJy grow

OVC GRADUATE HELPS SLEEPING CHILDREN AROUND THE WORLD

Give a child a comfortable nights rest and it helps to take his mind off his hunger and conserve his energy for the demands of the next day

That s the philosophy behind Sleeping Children Around the World (SCAW) a registered Canadian charitshyable organization founded by Murray and the late Margaret Dryden parents of National Hockey League goalshytenders Dave and Ken It s an organishyzation that has given Dr Gordon S BroW11 OVC 45 of Harrow a very rewarding purpose in li fe since retirement

Gordon opened a veterinary pracshytice in Essex in 1946 and was joined 11 years later by Dr Douglas McKelvie OVC 47 The practice evolved into a busy one treating both large and small animals but a car accident in 1980 made it impossible for Gordon to continue with the large animal part He sold the practice and opened a small animal clinic in Kingsville which he operated until retiring in 1986

While on an Alaskan cruise in 1977 Gordon and his wife June met the Drydens who told them about SCAW

We were impressed with their compassion for the oppressed chilshydren in the Third World countries and their strong desire to help by supplying comfort reports Gordon

The Browns became close friends with the Drydens and began to support their precious project In 1982 Murray Dryden invited Gordon to join him in distributing bed-kits in the Third World Each kit consists of a groundsheet mattress shee ts bl anket pillow and pillow case pajamas clothing and sometimes mosquito netting

SCAW is supported by private donashytion Every dollar donated is used to provide the bed-kits nothing is siphoned off for administration or travel expenses The money is sent to existing organizations in Third World countries like Rotary Kiwanis the Salvation Army Canadian Jesuits and

Dr Gordon S Brown OVC 45 and his wife June

Pentecostal missionaries It is their responsibility to purchase materials and have the ki ts made up

When I saw first -hand the tremen shydous need and joy upon receiving the bed-kits on that first trip [ had to continue and make this project a part of my life says Gordon He has now made four trips at his 0W11 expense iOlO India and the Hin1alayas Pakistan Bangladesh Sri Lanka Thailand and the Philippines On the last two trips his wife has accompanied him and become equally enthusiastic They make the trips to witness the distrishy

bution of the ki ts and take photos of the children holding the kits and labels with the donors names on them These photos are then sent to the donors as proof that the kits are being received

Each trip takes the Browns away from their home six to seven weeks in February and March This year 12000 bed-kits will be distributed

A 1985 SCAW newsletter reports on one distribution scene In Sri Lanka the Inner Wheel (Wives of Rotarians ) intricately planned a week of d istributions in 13 d ifferent locations One was a refugee camp where a few hundred people driven out of the northern part of the island by the Tamils had taken refuge in a Catholic Church Theywere sleeping on the cement floor inety of these fami lies had witnessed their husbands and fathers lined up and shot A water tnIck came in once a day as well as a food truck We had only 100 kits for this great need Our hearts really wenl out to these people

The Browns are plCltLied to describe their SCAW trips to large or small groups Thcy may be contacted at Box 1 Blue Water Beach RR 1 Harrow Ontario NOR IGO ( 519 ) 738-6587

RADIATION EQUIPMENT FURTHERS CANCER RESEARCH

A donation of orthovoltage and cobalt radiation equipment from Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto will enable OVC to establish a radioshytherapy unit in its small animal clinic by the end of the year The gift of the used equipment will cut the estimated $250000 cost of the unit by ahout half Funds are being sought from alumni and other sources for site development of the unit

The hospital learned ofoves need for a unit while involved in joint research on the radiation treatment of dogs with lymphoma cancer in 1983 Princess Margaret researchers developed a way to preserve bone marrow while irradiating the entire body The new treatment had exeelshy

lent potential to extend remission limes in patienrs Because canine and human lymphomas arc s imilar Princess Margaret officials asked ave to carry out research on dogs using the hospitals facilities

OVC researchers treated 14 dogs with lymphoma In II of those the tumors decreased significantly in size and did not reappear in some cases until SlX months later Without treat shyment veterinarians expected the dogs had about a month to live TIle results were encouraging although not at all conclusive because of the small number of research subjects

The project stopped in 1985 pri shymarily because of staffing and space

constraints at Princess Margaret When the new radiotherapy unit is in place veterinarians wi ll resume research to find ways of increasing the duration of the effectiveness of radiation treatment Princeslt Margaret rtsearchers will explore human applications

The research could lead to work in other cancers that act similarly in dogs and humans such as osteoshysarcoma the disease suffered by Terry Fox

If you would like to contribute to the radiotherapy unit at OVC send your donations to Alumni House

NEW DEPARTMENT TO FOCUS ON HEALTH OF GROUPS

A new department of population medicine at ove is focusing on tbe health of groups of animals rathe r than individuals particularly on-farm species

The department draws personnel from the departments of Clinical Studies and Veterinary Microbiology and Immunology

OVC Dean Ole Nielsen says its important for the College to have a department whose basic philosophy is concerned with the health of the group rather than the individual Its particularly important for the agri shyculnlre industry because modern food

production tends to work with large groups

Population medicine is the study of the frequency distribution and cost of disease and the inter-relationships among disease managemem enshyvironment and productivity It also involves applied strategies for health management and the prevention and control of disease

Dr ielsen says population medishyc ine is in line with the new health maintenance orientation of courses in OVCs new curriculum and it capitalizes on many ofOllr streng[hs It is also in Line with the needs of

vcterinary medicine in the future he says

As we move to larger and more complex farming operations and the economic crunch worsens there will be more emphaSiS on effiCiency and cost-effectiveness he says Population medicine is concerned with the disshytribution causes and costs of disease in animals There is emphasis on numeracy using quantitative data to measure the cost benefits of health care

Dr Nielsen says the new department will put ove in the forefront in thc modern approach to health maintenshyance in food-pn ducing animals

Dve BRIEFLY

Ove has launched a new fundshyraising p roject called Pet Trust The object is to raise money for research into problems and diseases affecting small or companion animals to further work already proceeding in such areas as oncology ophthalmology orthoshypedics reconsrmctive surgery organ dysfunction lOaesthesia infectious diseases animal behavior and human animal bonding and to provide fu nds for fellowships

Kits containing information about the program have been sent out to every veterinary practice in Ontario and response has been heartening

A Board of Tmstees will approve research projects and grants establish policy and generally promote the Pet Trust Annual reports will also be issued

The OVC Seminar Series has really blossomed List years speakers came from all the OVC Departments the Western College ofVeterinary Medishycine AgriCulture Canada and locatiOns abroad For advance notice about

upcoming seminars phone ( 519) 823-8800 ext 44l4

Over 750 people crowded into War Memorial Hall to hear the 1986 Schofield Memorial Lecturer Dr Kurt Benirschke speak on Endangered Species le Profe sor of Pathology from the University of California San Diego and former Director ofResearch at the San Diego Zoo attracted by far rhe largest audience in the series history

Scott Reid OVC 87 and Mary Handford a third-year architecture student at the niversity ofWattrloo together have won the Hills Pet Products Inc ArchitectureYeterinary Medical Student Hospital Design Award Valued at $2000 US the award is given annually to each of the vete rinary colleges in Canada to encourage inter ction between the architecture and veterinary professhysions and to encourage the design of veterinary clinics with optimum feashytures and facilities

DOES P EQUAL NP By Mary Dickieson

Pub lic Relations and Informa tion

One of the most perplexing proshyblems in computer science may have been solved by Professor Ted Swan who has a joint appointment in the departments of Mathematics and Statistics and Computing and Inforshymation Science He has written a paper offering proof that P=NP To the layman th is means that we will now be able to solve problems that we formerly thought we could not he says

Professor Bill Smith chair of the Department of Mathematics and Statisshytics says that if Dr Swarts results are verified they will really be quite earth-shattering and exceptional shyof far -reaching significance in mathematics

Dr Swart cautions that the jury is stili ou t on whether his approach will be proved or disproved by his peers but already his pronouncement has caused a stir in the computer world The findings are of considerable interest to everyone working in this area says Professor Smith and they are an important contribution to the problem whether or not they are eventually accepted as stated

Dr Swart says his results are bound to be met by a great deal of proshyfessional suspicion because they are contrary to the prevailing thought Most people think that P does not equal P

Although the results are still theoreshytical Professor Smith and Dr Swart agree they could have a number of practical applications Industry commerce finance and most other sectors of society that use computers could benefit from Dr Swart s adshyvancement of one of the ftmdamental aspects of computer science the use of algorithms

People solve problems on comshyputers by using precisely defined sets of steps called algOrithms says Dr_ Swart Of the two classes ofcomputer problems class P refers to those for which good polynomial time

algorithms exist enabling them to be solved effiCiently on a computer Dr Swart cites the example of the minishymal connector problem which asks for a scheme to cormect a group of cities by telephone wires in such a way that the amount of wire used is minima l Good algori thms allow this problem to be solved easily regardshyless of the number ofcities involved he says

Computer problems in the second class - NP - are considered hard to solve_Large problems in this cateshygory cannot be solved on even the most powerful computers in the world because there are no algorithms that allow solution of the problem without escalating the number of calculations to a level beyond the capacity of computers Dr Swart says there are at least 1 000 known examples of proshyblems in this class of which the travelling salesman problem is one of the best known Even for a relatively small group of cities such as the 50 US capitals there has been no solushytion to the problem of devising a route that will enable a salesman to visit each ci ty only once while trashyvelling a mininlal distance

My results say these two classes of problems are equal and that there do exist good algorithms for solving this type of computer problem he says

To prove his results Dr Swarts paper cites a similar problem the Hamilton circuit which is illustrated by asking the question Can you visit each of several cities in succession Without backtracking

Dr Swarts problem establishes that the Hamilton circuit problem can be solved in polynomial time by conshyverting a mathematical programming formulation of the problem into a linear programming formulation and using existing polynomial ti me algorithms as established by Kachiyan and Kannarkar

The Significant feature of these results is that they will enable comshyputers to tackle larger problems with more unknowns and get the results more quickly

COMPUTER SCIENCE PROGRAM APPEALS TO STUDENTS

Guelphs new masters program in computer science which enrolled its fi rst students last September aims to move advanced information techshynology out of the research laboratory and into practical application says co-ordinator Professor Tom Wi on It combines graduate courses in the latest research developments with an applied thesis

Because there are only 13 students each has what can be called a tailorshymade program says Professor Wilson The Department of Computing and Information Science plans to accept another seven students this September and expects enrolment to grow to 30 with in the next few years - deshypending on the availability of faculty and space Even with that number the program will be smaller than others in the province so the level of personal contact and flexibil ity will remain high

Students in the program are often involved in problems that are of interest to other departments About two-thirds of the students are Guelph graduates - many with double degrees

TI1e undergraduate backgrounds of the students range from medicinal chemistry to philosophy and their research interests are just as varied as the following profiles indicate

RETIRING PROFESSOR HONORED

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry hosted a symposium in the spring on the molecular mechanshyisms underlying vertebrate visual transduction The symposium honored Professor Bill Abrahamson who retired May 1 It provided a review of current approaches to a field in which Professor AbJhamson s

communication He is developing softshyware that will allow dolphin comshymunication researchers at the nivershysity of Hawaii to extract information from a database using a natural language such as English rather than a computer language This would free them from having to learn comshyplex computer skills

Karl whose thesis adviser is Proshyfessor Mary Mcleish travelled to Hawaii in April to install a natural language processing system at the Kewalo Basin Marine Mammal laborashytory and to become more fami liar with the computers available there A graduate of Gue lph s computer science program Karl at 0 has an undergraduate degree in medicinal chemistry from Concordia University and has done graduate work in neuroshyscience at McMaster Medical Centre

Howard Pel ls special interest is fibre optics and their use in wide-area communication networks sing light instead of electricity offers amazing capabilities he says because teleshyphone television and computer data can be transmitted over a single piece of pi astie

Howard who is working under Professor Wilson has a joint BA C86) from Guelph in computer science and philosophy The undershygraouate program in computer science focused more on software says Howard but his preference is hardware The master s program allows him to devote his time to this first love

contributions are widely appreciated Speakers included Dr Barry Honig

CSS GRAD AIMS FOR OLYMPIC GOLD Andre Bordeleau C5S 79 MA 85 is determined to earn an Olympic gold medal in running game target shooting - no matter how long it takes

It may take a long time Im a late bloomer but I figure I have another 20 years to try Age is not a big problem in my sport and at least J didnt have to sacrifice my childhood to get where I am today says the 30-yearmiddotold political science graduate

Running game target requires the shooter using a 22-caJibre rifle to hit a wild pig moving on a 10-metre rail at 72 mph 144 mph or mixed speed middot from a distance of 50 metres There are many different versions of the sport but the Olympic discipline consists of 30 shots at the slower speed (slow runs ) and 30 at the faster speed ( fast runs)

Andre Bordeleau CSS 79 MA 85 is aimingfor O~yrnpic gold in running game target shooting

The CSSAlumniAssociation cut a cake during Alumni Weekend to celebrate its 10th anniversary Taking part were lef t to right Sandra Couch and Barbara Chance board directorsjohn Aviano newpresident and his wife Inara and facui~y advisor Victor Ujim

Andre became captivated by the sport of shooting when he had a job as an offi cial d river at the L976 Olympics in Montreal

Like most French-Canadian boys I wanted to p lay hockey for the Montreal Canadiens I have the size - 6-feet-l and 215 pounds - bUl there is a problem I cant skate Something to do with small curvatures in my spine nothing serious but enough to throw out my balance So since I couldnt be a professional hockey player I decided to become an Olympic amateur athlete

In pursuit of his goal Andre left his home in Montreal to study at the

niversity of Guelph in 1976 I wanted to srudy some place like Ontario where I could become bishylingual and Guelph was one of only three universities in the province with a rifle range he explains The University of Guelph Rifle Team won three Ontario championships from 1979-81

Andre started out on the Universitys rifle team shooting at stationary tarmiddot gets bu t decided to concentrate on running gan1e because it is more suited to his hyperactive personality He went to the Canadian championships in 1977 and placed ninth At a national competition in 1981 he set two Canadian records one of which stood for three years In 1984 he won the provincial championships and set a provincial record which still stands Also in 1984 he was invited to the Olympic trials and despite sustaining a concussion in a car accident on the first day of shooting he placed third Unfortunately only the first and second place winners qualified for the Olympics

In 1986 Andre went to his first international match the World Championships in East Gemlany He shot below his average and placed 46th in the 10 metre air rifle event an indoor scaled-down version ofmnning game target

1 was disappointed but I learned a lot Before I went [wasnt ranked in

24

the world at all At least now Im ranked he says

Undaunted he is currently training for the 1988 Olympics with national running game target team coach Dick Esseltine of Peterborough and he tries to practise at the Guelph rifle range eve1 day

Running game target shooting re shyquires concentration physica l stamina eye-band co-ordination and balance But staying in financial shape is a bigger challenge for Andre than staying physically fit Unable to find a job relating to his degrees he works as a night supervisor at Stonehenge a drug rehabilitation ce ntre near Guelph While he meets his liing expenses he is struggling to pay back stude nt loans and keep up with expenses incurred as an amateur athlete

Although he estimates he has dug a 860000 hole since making the move to Guelph and devoting himself to shootinghe has no regrets He says Guelph has been a good experience culturally and linguistically He views it as the place where he started a rich amateur career and as he plods on toward Olympic gold he takes satisshyfaction in his many smaller accomshyplishments

I believe in pursuing excellence Ive set the ultimate goal ( OLympic gold) and Im going to do my best to achieve it

INDUSTRIAL ORGAN IZA TIONAL

PSYCHOLOGY MEETS GROWING DEMAND

Ahigh demand for industrial psychoshylogists in Canada has led the Departshyment of Psychology to introduce a new graduate option

I ndllstriallOrganizaliorudPsychoshylogy is being added to the masters program for specialized training which could lead to work in personncl management job dcsign and analysis organizational consulting or health and safety in the workplace

The demand for industriaL PSTchoshylogists has been brought about by rapidly changing technology business growth and legislation in the areas of workplace safety human rights equal pay amI equal employment opportuni shyties Because there are few structured graduate programs in Canada to meet this need industrial psychologists have receiytd their training in the US Othe rs have trained themselves on the job

Steven Cranshaw who earned his PhD in industrial organizational

psychology at the University ofAkron is developing the new program at Guelph He was formerly at thc Univershysity of Waterloo and is currently chairman of the industrialorganizashytional section of the Canadian Psychoshylogical Association

The department is also pursuing a joint PhD program in industrial organizational psychology with the University of Waterloo It will offer training to the highest professionaJ standards in orth America

Dr Cranshawsays a 198687 survey done by Canada Employment and Immigration lists industrial organil3shytional psychology as an area of high job demand in the near future As graduates of the Guelph program become finnly established in the work force it will become readily apparent that this University is pLaying a major ro le in improving the quality of working life

WHATS NEW IN THE DEPARTMENTS POLITICAL STUDIES In September the department will introduce a dis shytance education diploma program in Public Policy and Administrat ion taught by Professor Richard Phidd The comprehensive program conshysisting of 10 courses at the undershygraduate level will provide an inte llectuaJ component to the workshyplace experiences of profeSSionals Distance education makes the depart shyments programs and courses more widely available to people in the work force ECONOMICS Professor Louis

Christofides is the new department chairman A major change which will take place LInder his direction is the establishment of a PhD program in resource and environmental econo shymics Professor Christofidcs aJso plans to oversee a review of the undershygraduate program He says the review will determine whether an approshypriate core course sequence is in place and whether the curriculum can be improved More spacc and the recmitment of quality facu lty and graduate students are also among his goals

GEOGRAPHY The birth ofProfessor Barry Smits daughter March 3 had some frantic moments Hanna was born in the family car as the harried father-to-be sped through the night to Guelph General Hospital She was dubbed Speedy Smit by the hospital staff and is a sister for two-year-old Emily Mother Ruth Ann and the baby came through the experience none the worse for wear but Professor Smit m ust have been glad to get back to the old routine of classes and lectures At least theyre fairly predictable

OVC GRADUATE HELPS SLEEPING CHILDREN AROUND THE WORLD

Give a child a comfortable nights rest and it helps to take his mind off his hunger and conserve his energy for the demands of the next day

That s the philosophy behind Sleeping Children Around the World (SCAW) a registered Canadian charitshyable organization founded by Murray and the late Margaret Dryden parents of National Hockey League goalshytenders Dave and Ken It s an organishyzation that has given Dr Gordon S BroW11 OVC 45 of Harrow a very rewarding purpose in li fe since retirement

Gordon opened a veterinary pracshytice in Essex in 1946 and was joined 11 years later by Dr Douglas McKelvie OVC 47 The practice evolved into a busy one treating both large and small animals but a car accident in 1980 made it impossible for Gordon to continue with the large animal part He sold the practice and opened a small animal clinic in Kingsville which he operated until retiring in 1986

While on an Alaskan cruise in 1977 Gordon and his wife June met the Drydens who told them about SCAW

We were impressed with their compassion for the oppressed chilshydren in the Third World countries and their strong desire to help by supplying comfort reports Gordon

The Browns became close friends with the Drydens and began to support their precious project In 1982 Murray Dryden invited Gordon to join him in distributing bed-kits in the Third World Each kit consists of a groundsheet mattress shee ts bl anket pillow and pillow case pajamas clothing and sometimes mosquito netting

SCAW is supported by private donashytion Every dollar donated is used to provide the bed-kits nothing is siphoned off for administration or travel expenses The money is sent to existing organizations in Third World countries like Rotary Kiwanis the Salvation Army Canadian Jesuits and

Dr Gordon S Brown OVC 45 and his wife June

Pentecostal missionaries It is their responsibility to purchase materials and have the ki ts made up

When I saw first -hand the tremen shydous need and joy upon receiving the bed-kits on that first trip [ had to continue and make this project a part of my life says Gordon He has now made four trips at his 0W11 expense iOlO India and the Hin1alayas Pakistan Bangladesh Sri Lanka Thailand and the Philippines On the last two trips his wife has accompanied him and become equally enthusiastic They make the trips to witness the distrishy

bution of the ki ts and take photos of the children holding the kits and labels with the donors names on them These photos are then sent to the donors as proof that the kits are being received

Each trip takes the Browns away from their home six to seven weeks in February and March This year 12000 bed-kits will be distributed

A 1985 SCAW newsletter reports on one distribution scene In Sri Lanka the Inner Wheel (Wives of Rotarians ) intricately planned a week of d istributions in 13 d ifferent locations One was a refugee camp where a few hundred people driven out of the northern part of the island by the Tamils had taken refuge in a Catholic Church Theywere sleeping on the cement floor inety of these fami lies had witnessed their husbands and fathers lined up and shot A water tnIck came in once a day as well as a food truck We had only 100 kits for this great need Our hearts really wenl out to these people

The Browns are plCltLied to describe their SCAW trips to large or small groups Thcy may be contacted at Box 1 Blue Water Beach RR 1 Harrow Ontario NOR IGO ( 519 ) 738-6587

RADIATION EQUIPMENT FURTHERS CANCER RESEARCH

A donation of orthovoltage and cobalt radiation equipment from Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto will enable OVC to establish a radioshytherapy unit in its small animal clinic by the end of the year The gift of the used equipment will cut the estimated $250000 cost of the unit by ahout half Funds are being sought from alumni and other sources for site development of the unit

The hospital learned ofoves need for a unit while involved in joint research on the radiation treatment of dogs with lymphoma cancer in 1983 Princess Margaret researchers developed a way to preserve bone marrow while irradiating the entire body The new treatment had exeelshy

lent potential to extend remission limes in patienrs Because canine and human lymphomas arc s imilar Princess Margaret officials asked ave to carry out research on dogs using the hospitals facilities

OVC researchers treated 14 dogs with lymphoma In II of those the tumors decreased significantly in size and did not reappear in some cases until SlX months later Without treat shyment veterinarians expected the dogs had about a month to live TIle results were encouraging although not at all conclusive because of the small number of research subjects

The project stopped in 1985 pri shymarily because of staffing and space

constraints at Princess Margaret When the new radiotherapy unit is in place veterinarians wi ll resume research to find ways of increasing the duration of the effectiveness of radiation treatment Princeslt Margaret rtsearchers will explore human applications

The research could lead to work in other cancers that act similarly in dogs and humans such as osteoshysarcoma the disease suffered by Terry Fox

If you would like to contribute to the radiotherapy unit at OVC send your donations to Alumni House

niversity of Guelph NIG 2Wl clearly designated for the unit

NEW DEPARTMENT TO FOCUS ON HEALTH OF GROUPS

A new department of population medicine at ove is focusing on tbe health of groups of animals rathe r than individuals particularly on-farm species

The department draws personnel from the departments of Clinical Studies and Veterinary Microbiology and Immunology

OVC Dean Ole Nielsen says its important for the College to have a department whose basic philosophy is concerned with the health of the group rather than the individual Its particularly important for the agri shyculnlre industry because modern food

production tends to work with large groups

Population medicine is the study of the frequency distribution and cost of disease and the inter-relationships among disease managemem enshyvironment and productivity It also involves applied strategies for health management and the prevention and control of disease

Dr ielsen says population medishyc ine is in line with the new health maintenance orientation of courses in OVCs new curriculum and it capitalizes on many ofOllr streng[hs It is also in Line with the needs of

vcterinary medicine in the future he says

As we move to larger and more complex farming operations and the economic crunch worsens there will be more emphaSiS on effiCiency and cost-effectiveness he says Population medicine is concerned with the disshytribution causes and costs of disease in animals There is emphasis on numeracy using quantitative data to measure the cost benefits of health care

Dr Nielsen says the new department will put ove in the forefront in thc modern approach to health maintenshyance in food-pn ducing animals

Dve BRIEFLY

Ove has launched a new fundshyraising p roject called Pet Trust The object is to raise money for research into problems and diseases affecting small or companion animals to further work already proceeding in such areas as oncology ophthalmology orthoshypedics reconsrmctive surgery organ dysfunction lOaesthesia infectious diseases animal behavior and human animal bonding and to provide fu nds for fellowships

Kits containing information about the program have been sent out to every veterinary practice in Ontario and response has been heartening

A Board of Tmstees will approve research projects and grants establish policy and generally promote the Pet Trust Annual reports will also be issued

The OVC Seminar Series has really blossomed List years speakers came from all the OVC Departments the Western College ofVeterinary Medishycine AgriCulture Canada and locatiOns abroad For advance notice about

upcoming seminars phone ( 519) 823-8800 ext 44l4

Over 750 people crowded into War Memorial Hall to hear the 1986 Schofield Memorial Lecturer Dr Kurt Benirschke speak on Endangered Species le Profe sor of Pathology from the University of California San Diego and former Director ofResearch at the San Diego Zoo attracted by far rhe largest audience in the series history

Scott Reid OVC 87 and Mary Handford a third-year architecture student at the niversity ofWattrloo together have won the Hills Pet Products Inc ArchitectureYeterinary Medical Student Hospital Design Award Valued at $2000 US the award is given annually to each of the vete rinary colleges in Canada to encourage inter ction between the architecture and veterinary professhysions and to encourage the design of veterinary clinics with optimum feashytures and facilities

Dr Dennis Howell dean of OVC from 1969-79 was made an honorary fellow of the University of Guelph in February and received a doctor of law degree from the UniverSity ofPE in May

DOES P EQUAL NP By Mary Dickieson

Pub lic Relations and Informa tion

One of the most perplexing proshyblems in computer science may have been solved by Professor Ted Swan who has a joint appointment in the departments of Mathematics and Statistics and Computing and Inforshymation Science He has written a paper offering proof that P=NP To the layman th is means that we will now be able to solve problems that we formerly thought we could not he says

Professor Bill Smith chair of the Department of Mathematics and Statisshytics says that if Dr Swarts results are verified they will really be quite earth-shattering and exceptional shyof far -reaching significance in mathematics

Dr Swart cautions that the jury is stili ou t on whether his approach will be proved or disproved by his peers but already his pronouncement has caused a stir in the computer world The findings are of considerable interest to everyone working in this area says Professor Smith and they are an important contribution to the problem whether or not they are eventually accepted as stated

Dr Swart says his results are bound to be met by a great deal of proshyfessional suspicion because they are contrary to the prevailing thought Most people think that P does not equal P

Although the results are still theoreshytical Professor Smith and Dr Swart agree they could have a number of practical applications Industry commerce finance and most other sectors of society that use computers could benefit from Dr Swart s adshyvancement of one of the ftmdamental aspects of computer science the use of algorithms

People solve problems on comshyputers by using precisely defined sets of steps called algOrithms says Dr_ Swart Of the two classes ofcomputer problems class P refers to those for which good polynomial time

algorithms exist enabling them to be solved effiCiently on a computer Dr Swart cites the example of the minishymal connector problem which asks for a scheme to cormect a group of cities by telephone wires in such a way that the amount of wire used is minima l Good algori thms allow this problem to be solved easily regardshyless of the number ofcities involved he says

Computer problems in the second class - NP - are considered hard to solve_Large problems in this cateshygory cannot be solved on even the most powerful computers in the world because there are no algorithms that allow solution of the problem without escalating the number of calculations to a level beyond the capacity of computers Dr Swart says there are at least 1 000 known examples of proshyblems in this class of which the travelling salesman problem is one of the best known Even for a relatively small group of cities such as the 50 US capitals there has been no solushytion to the problem of devising a route that will enable a salesman to visit each ci ty only once while trashyvelling a mininlal distance

My results say these two classes of problems are equal and that there do exist good algorithms for solving this type of computer problem he says

To prove his results Dr Swarts paper cites a similar problem the Hamilton circuit which is illustrated by asking the question Can you visit each of several cities in succession Without backtracking

Dr Swarts problem establishes that the Hamilton circuit problem can be solved in polynomial time by conshyverting a mathematical programming formulation of the problem into a linear programming formulation and using existing polynomial ti me algorithms as established by Kachiyan and Kannarkar

The Significant feature of these results is that they will enable comshyputers to tackle larger problems with more unknowns and get the results more quickly

COMPUTER SCIENCE PROGRAM APPEALS TO STUDENTS

Guelphs new masters program in computer science which enrolled its fi rst students last September aims to move advanced information techshynology out of the research laboratory and into practical application says co-ordinator Professor Tom Wi on It combines graduate courses in the latest research developments with an applied thesis

Because there are only 13 students each has what can be called a tailorshymade program says Professor Wilson The Department of Computing and Information Science plans to accept another seven students this September and expects enrolment to grow to 30 with in the next few years - deshypending on the availability of faculty and space Even with that number the program will be smaller than others in the province so the level of personal contact and flexibil ity will remain high

Students in the program are often involved in problems that are of interest to other departments About two-thirds of the students are Guelph graduates - many with double degrees

TI1e undergraduate backgrounds of the students range from medicinal chemistry to philosophy and their research interests are just as varied as the following profiles indicate

RETIRING PROFESSOR HONORED

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry hosted a symposium in the spring on the molecular mechanshyisms underlying vertebrate visual transduction The symposium honored Professor Bill Abrahamson who retired May 1 It provided a review of current approaches to a field in which Professor AbJhamson s

communication He is developing softshyware that will allow dolphin comshymunication researchers at the nivershysity of Hawaii to extract information from a database using a natural language such as English rather than a computer language This would free them from having to learn comshyplex computer skills

Karl whose thesis adviser is Proshyfessor Mary Mcleish travelled to Hawaii in April to install a natural language processing system at the Kewalo Basin Marine Mammal laborashytory and to become more fami liar with the computers available there A graduate of Gue lph s computer science program Karl at 0 has an undergraduate degree in medicinal chemistry from Concordia University and has done graduate work in neuroshyscience at McMaster Medical Centre

Howard Pel ls special interest is fibre optics and their use in wide-area communication networks sing light instead of electricity offers amazing capabilities he says because teleshyphone television and computer data can be transmitted over a single piece of pi astie

Howard who is working under Professor Wilson has a joint BA C86) from Guelph in computer science and philosophy The undershygraouate program in computer science focused more on software says Howard but his preference is hardware The master s program allows him to devote his time to this first love

contributions are widely appreciated Speakers included Dr Barry Honig

Dr Powell served as Honorary Preshysident of the Human Kinetics Alumni Association from 1971 -83 and served as editor of both the Bio-Sci News in the Guelph Alumnus and the Human Kinetics Newsletter The Human Kinetics Alumn i Association has honored him with a scholarship in his nanle

When he arrived at Guelph in 1965 Dr Powell initiated and for five days a week still leads the CardioshyVascular Club This club has brought a genuine enjoyment of exercise into

the lives ofDr Powells many disciples In 1983 a film featuring the CardioshyVascular Club funded by the Univershysity of Guelph Alumni Association won acdaim from the Czechoslovashykian government The film was later shown in Budapest at the request of the Hungarian government Dr Powell was honored by Premier WilIian1 Davis in 1985 for his specific conshytrihution to cardiov-Scular rehabilishytation

For 15 years Or Powell has been a member of the I nternational Olympic Academy an institution that develops the theory ethics and procedures for the Olympic Games His contribution to the Academy was recognized by the He llenic Olympic Committee when it conferred upon him the prestigious rank of Collaborator and awarded him a silver medallion_ He also received one of two silver commemorative medals presented to Canadians in 1986 for devoted work to the youth of the world through the International Olympic Academy since 1972

Dr Powell has come up with a definition for the word Olympism wh ich has been officially accepted by the Canadian Olympic Association

PROFESSOR EMERITUS

PrOfessor emeritus status was bestowed on Professor John George Department of Zoology at spring convocation

Born and educated in India Proshyfessor George joined the University of Baroda in 1950 as the first head of its zoology department and over the next decade developed one of the leading zoology departments in India He came to Guelph as professor of zoology in 1967 a pOSition he held until his retirement in 1986

PROFESSOR RETIRES

Drw George Barker was honored on his retirement recently at a dinner and reception hosted by the Departshyment of Botany Dr Barkers career in plant science includes two periods at the University of Guelph From 1972 to 1983 he was chair of the Depart shyment of Botany and Genetics in the newly-formed College of Biological Science and was instrumental in guiding the department into new strengths in Botany Ecology and Genetics The emerging Genetics section became the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics in 1983

Dr Barker a native of Stratford served in Europe during World War II as a captain in the Provost Company of the Canadian Army On his return he earned his BSe (1947 ) and MSc ( 1949 ) at the University of Western Ontario His masters thesis was con shycerned with the effect of ethyl carbashymate on mitotic activity in plants This biologically-active compound recently made headlines as a contashyminant of certain wines

In 1953 Dr Barker received his PhD from the University ofMichigan for h is thesis on the proliferation of bass wood taken from 50-year-old trunk tissue demonstrating that these cells retained full developmental capashycity From this time on Dr Barker has maintained an interest in plant tissue culture

From 1952-54Dr Barker was assisshytant professor in the Department of Botany ( then OAC) During this period he perfected the technique of produci ng tubers in vitro This approach remains a cornerstone of modem biotechnology with potatoes

From 1955 to 1960 Dr Barker worked with the United Fmit Comshypany in Costa Rica Honduras and at Cornell developing practical methods of banana propagation still in wideshyspread use and carrying out basic studies on morphology and anatomy He became co-ordinator of research on lowbush blueberries at the Agri shyc ultural Rese a r c h Stat ion in Frederic ton and in 1964 w as appointed Director of the Biological Teaching Unit University of Manitoba

Dr W George Barker

When Dr Barker returned to Guelph in 1972 he llsed his long shyestablished experience in basic and applied research and teaching to build a new department in a new College He leaves behind a strong teaching department which also has an estab shyli shed in ternational research reputalion

Dr Keith Ronald director of the Arboretum and former dean of CBS announced that a Scotch pine in the Arboretum had been dedicated in honor of Dr Barkers contribution to all aipects ofUniversity life Dr Bruce Sells dean of CBS emphasized Dr Barkers pivotaJ role in initiating strong programs in three areas of biological science and presented him with a chair on behalf of the College Dr ] Derek Bewley present chair of Botany thanked Dr Barker for his help and guidance and presented a VCR from the 100 alumni students staff and faculty members in attendance at the dinner

INDUSTRY TASK FORCE REVIEWS IFM PROGRAM

A task force representing senior levels of the dietetic profession and institutional foodservice management met on campus earlier this year to advise the School of Hotel and Food Administration ( HAFA ) about the development of its Institutional Foodshyservice Management Program ( IFM ) The task force convened by FACS Dean Richard Barham is part ofHAFAs review of the IFM program one of two majors offered in the Bachelor of Commerce honors program

Included on the task force are the preside n t and executive vic e shypresident of Canadas two largest institutional foodservice management firms as well as the vice-president of the countrys largest nursing home chain

Discussion focused on intermediate and long-term plans of HAFA faculty The task force supports curriculum revisions designed to strengthen the nutrit ion and b iological science components of the IFM major The program prepares graduates for intern shyships as adn inistrative dietitians although some graduates choose to follow careers in institutional food middot service outside dietetics

The task force al so support s graduate training in administration for dietetic professionals There is a need for such a progran1 among therashypeutic dietitians seeking to shift their field of practice [Q administration and among administrative dietitians who wish to improve their qualifi shycations The task force also feels that a masters degree would be an appro shypriate alternat ive to a dietetic internship

The task force discussed the need for programs of continuing pro shyfessional education It supports proposals to develop more courses in continuing education as it relates [Q

administrative dietetics

CSS GRAD AIMS FOR OLYMPIC GOLD Andre Bordeleau C5S 79 MA 85 is determined to earn an Olympic gold medal in running game target shooting - no matter how long it takes

It may take a long time Im a late bloomer but I figure I have another 20 years to try Age is not a big problem in my sport and at least J didnt have to sacrifice my childhood to get where I am today says the 30-yearmiddotold political science graduate

Running game target requires the shooter using a 22-caJibre rifle to hit a wild pig moving on a 10-metre rail at 72 mph 144 mph or mixed speed middot from a distance of 50 metres There are many different versions of the sport but the Olympic discipline consists of 30 shots at the slower speed (slow runs ) and 30 at the faster speed ( fast runs)

Andre Bordeleau CSS 79 MA 85 is aimingfor O~yrnpic gold in running game target shooting

The CSSAlumniAssociation cut a cake during Alumni Weekend to celebrate its 10th anniversary Taking part were lef t to right Sandra Couch and Barbara Chance board directorsjohn Aviano newpresident and his wife Inara and facui~y advisor Victor Ujim

Andre became captivated by the sport of shooting when he had a job as an offi cial d river at the L976 Olympics in Montreal

Like most French-Canadian boys I wanted to p lay hockey for the Montreal Canadiens I have the size - 6-feet-l and 215 pounds - bUl there is a problem I cant skate Something to do with small curvatures in my spine nothing serious but enough to throw out my balance So since I couldnt be a professional hockey player I decided to become an Olympic amateur athlete

In pursuit of his goal Andre left his home in Montreal to study at the

niversity of Guelph in 1976 I wanted to srudy some place like Ontario where I could become bishylingual and Guelph was one of only three universities in the province with a rifle range he explains The University of Guelph Rifle Team won three Ontario championships from 1979-81

Andre started out on the Universitys rifle team shooting at stationary tarmiddot gets bu t decided to concentrate on running gan1e because it is more suited to his hyperactive personality He went to the Canadian championships in 1977 and placed ninth At a national competition in 1981 he set two Canadian records one of which stood for three years In 1984 he won the provincial championships and set a provincial record which still stands Also in 1984 he was invited to the Olympic trials and despite sustaining a concussion in a car accident on the first day of shooting he placed third Unfortunately only the first and second place winners qualified for the Olympics

In 1986 Andre went to his first international match the World Championships in East Gemlany He shot below his average and placed 46th in the 10 metre air rifle event an indoor scaled-down version ofmnning game target

1 was disappointed but I learned a lot Before I went [wasnt ranked in

24

the world at all At least now Im ranked he says

Undaunted he is currently training for the 1988 Olympics with national running game target team coach Dick Esseltine of Peterborough and he tries to practise at the Guelph rifle range eve1 day

Running game target shooting re shyquires concentration physica l stamina eye-band co-ordination and balance But staying in financial shape is a bigger challenge for Andre than staying physically fit Unable to find a job relating to his degrees he works as a night supervisor at Stonehenge a drug rehabilitation ce ntre near Guelph While he meets his liing expenses he is struggling to pay back stude nt loans and keep up with expenses incurred as an amateur athlete

Although he estimates he has dug a 860000 hole since making the move to Guelph and devoting himself to shootinghe has no regrets He says Guelph has been a good experience culturally and linguistically He views it as the place where he started a rich amateur career and as he plods on toward Olympic gold he takes satisshyfaction in his many smaller accomshyplishments

I believe in pursuing excellence Ive set the ultimate goal ( OLympic gold) and Im going to do my best to achieve it

INDUSTRIAL ORGAN IZA TIONAL

PSYCHOLOGY MEETS GROWING DEMAND

Ahigh demand for industrial psychoshylogists in Canada has led the Departshyment of Psychology to introduce a new graduate option

I ndllstriallOrganizaliorudPsychoshylogy is being added to the masters program for specialized training which could lead to work in personncl management job dcsign and analysis organizational consulting or health and safety in the workplace

The demand for industriaL PSTchoshylogists has been brought about by rapidly changing technology business growth and legislation in the areas of workplace safety human rights equal pay amI equal employment opportuni shyties Because there are few structured graduate programs in Canada to meet this need industrial psychologists have receiytd their training in the US Othe rs have trained themselves on the job

Steven Cranshaw who earned his PhD in industrial organizational

psychology at the University ofAkron is developing the new program at Guelph He was formerly at thc Univershysity of Waterloo and is currently chairman of the industrialorganizashytional section of the Canadian Psychoshylogical Association

The department is also pursuing a joint PhD program in industrial organizational psychology with the University of Waterloo It will offer training to the highest professionaJ standards in orth America

Dr Cranshawsays a 198687 survey done by Canada Employment and Immigration lists industrial organil3shytional psychology as an area of high job demand in the near future As graduates of the Guelph program become finnly established in the work force it will become readily apparent that this University is pLaying a major ro le in improving the quality of working life

WHATS NEW IN THE DEPARTMENTS POLITICAL STUDIES In September the department will introduce a dis shytance education diploma program in Public Policy and Administrat ion taught by Professor Richard Phidd The comprehensive program conshysisting of 10 courses at the undershygraduate level will provide an inte llectuaJ component to the workshyplace experiences of profeSSionals Distance education makes the depart shyments programs and courses more widely available to people in the work force ECONOMICS Professor Louis

Christofides is the new department chairman A major change which will take place LInder his direction is the establishment of a PhD program in resource and environmental econo shymics Professor Christofidcs aJso plans to oversee a review of the undershygraduate program He says the review will determine whether an approshypriate core course sequence is in place and whether the curriculum can be improved More spacc and the recmitment of quality facu lty and graduate students are also among his goals

GEOGRAPHY The birth ofProfessor Barry Smits daughter March 3 had some frantic moments Hanna was born in the family car as the harried father-to-be sped through the night to Guelph General Hospital She was dubbed Speedy Smit by the hospital staff and is a sister for two-year-old Emily Mother Ruth Ann and the baby came through the experience none the worse for wear but Professor Smit m ust have been glad to get back to the old routine of classes and lectures At least theyre fairly predictable

RADIATION EQUIPMENT FURTHERS CANCER RESEARCH

A donation of orthovoltage and cobalt radiation equipment from Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto will enable OVC to establish a radioshytherapy unit in its small animal clinic by the end of the year The gift of the used equipment will cut the estimated $250000 cost of the unit by ahout half Funds are being sought from alumni and other sources for site development of the unit

The hospital learned ofoves need for a unit while involved in joint research on the radiation treatment of dogs with lymphoma cancer in 1983 Princess Margaret researchers developed a way to preserve bone marrow while irradiating the entire body The new treatment had exeelshy

lent potential to extend remission limes in patienrs Because canine and human lymphomas arc s imilar Princess Margaret officials asked ave to carry out research on dogs using the hospitals facilities

OVC researchers treated 14 dogs with lymphoma In II of those the tumors decreased significantly in size and did not reappear in some cases until SlX months later Without treat shyment veterinarians expected the dogs had about a month to live TIle results were encouraging although not at all conclusive because of the small number of research subjects

The project stopped in 1985 pri shymarily because of staffing and space

constraints at Princess Margaret When the new radiotherapy unit is in place veterinarians wi ll resume research to find ways of increasing the duration of the effectiveness of radiation treatment Princeslt Margaret rtsearchers will explore human applications

The research could lead to work in other cancers that act similarly in dogs and humans such as osteoshysarcoma the disease suffered by Terry Fox

If you would like to contribute to the radiotherapy unit at OVC send your donations to Alumni House

niversity of Guelph NIG 2Wl clearly designated for the unit

NEW DEPARTMENT TO FOCUS ON HEALTH OF GROUPS

A new department of population medicine at ove is focusing on tbe health of groups of animals rathe r than individuals particularly on-farm species

The department draws personnel from the departments of Clinical Studies and Veterinary Microbiology and Immunology

OVC Dean Ole Nielsen says its important for the College to have a department whose basic philosophy is concerned with the health of the group rather than the individual Its particularly important for the agri shyculnlre industry because modern food

production tends to work with large groups

Population medicine is the study of the frequency distribution and cost of disease and the inter-relationships among disease managemem enshyvironment and productivity It also involves applied strategies for health management and the prevention and control of disease

Dr ielsen says population medishyc ine is in line with the new health maintenance orientation of courses in OVCs new curriculum and it capitalizes on many ofOllr streng[hs It is also in Line with the needs of

vcterinary medicine in the future he says

As we move to larger and more complex farming operations and the economic crunch worsens there will be more emphaSiS on effiCiency and cost-effectiveness he says Population medicine is concerned with the disshytribution causes and costs of disease in animals There is emphasis on numeracy using quantitative data to measure the cost benefits of health care

Dr Nielsen says the new department will put ove in the forefront in thc modern approach to health maintenshyance in food-pn ducing animals

Dve BRIEFLY

Ove has launched a new fundshyraising p roject called Pet Trust The object is to raise money for research into problems and diseases affecting small or companion animals to further work already proceeding in such areas as oncology ophthalmology orthoshypedics reconsrmctive surgery organ dysfunction lOaesthesia infectious diseases animal behavior and human animal bonding and to provide fu nds for fellowships

Kits containing information about the program have been sent out to every veterinary practice in Ontario and response has been heartening

A Board of Tmstees will approve research projects and grants establish policy and generally promote the Pet Trust Annual reports will also be issued

The OVC Seminar Series has really blossomed List years speakers came from all the OVC Departments the Western College ofVeterinary Medishycine AgriCulture Canada and locatiOns abroad For advance notice about

upcoming seminars phone ( 519) 823-8800 ext 44l4

Over 750 people crowded into War Memorial Hall to hear the 1986 Schofield Memorial Lecturer Dr Kurt Benirschke speak on Endangered Species le Profe sor of Pathology from the University of California San Diego and former Director ofResearch at the San Diego Zoo attracted by far rhe largest audience in the series history

Scott Reid OVC 87 and Mary Handford a third-year architecture student at the niversity ofWattrloo together have won the Hills Pet Products Inc ArchitectureYeterinary Medical Student Hospital Design Award Valued at $2000 US the award is given annually to each of the vete rinary colleges in Canada to encourage inter ction between the architecture and veterinary professhysions and to encourage the design of veterinary clinics with optimum feashytures and facilities

Dr Dennis Howell dean of OVC from 1969-79 was made an honorary fellow of the University of Guelph in February and received a doctor of law degree from the UniverSity ofPE in May

Dr Anreek Singh Professor Of Hi -shytology AIantic Veterinaryl College University ofPrince Edward Island is the J987 winner ofthe Students of the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association (S4 VMA) teaching award givell annually to the f aculty member most influential in proshymoting interest and enthusiasm in first yec1 students Dr Singh taught histology for eight years at two veterinary colleges in JndiaJ or three years in Switzerland and for 1 I years at ave He was honorary class president ofave 83 and 86

DOES P EQUAL NP By Mary Dickieson

Pub lic Relations and Informa tion

One of the most perplexing proshyblems in computer science may have been solved by Professor Ted Swan who has a joint appointment in the departments of Mathematics and Statistics and Computing and Inforshymation Science He has written a paper offering proof that P=NP To the layman th is means that we will now be able to solve problems that we formerly thought we could not he says

Professor Bill Smith chair of the Department of Mathematics and Statisshytics says that if Dr Swarts results are verified they will really be quite earth-shattering and exceptional shyof far -reaching significance in mathematics

Dr Swart cautions that the jury is stili ou t on whether his approach will be proved or disproved by his peers but already his pronouncement has caused a stir in the computer world The findings are of considerable interest to everyone working in this area says Professor Smith and they are an important contribution to the problem whether or not they are eventually accepted as stated

Dr Swart says his results are bound to be met by a great deal of proshyfessional suspicion because they are contrary to the prevailing thought Most people think that P does not equal P

Although the results are still theoreshytical Professor Smith and Dr Swart agree they could have a number of practical applications Industry commerce finance and most other sectors of society that use computers could benefit from Dr Swart s adshyvancement of one of the ftmdamental aspects of computer science the use of algorithms

People solve problems on comshyputers by using precisely defined sets of steps called algOrithms says Dr_ Swart Of the two classes ofcomputer problems class P refers to those for which good polynomial time

algorithms exist enabling them to be solved effiCiently on a computer Dr Swart cites the example of the minishymal connector problem which asks for a scheme to cormect a group of cities by telephone wires in such a way that the amount of wire used is minima l Good algori thms allow this problem to be solved easily regardshyless of the number ofcities involved he says

Computer problems in the second class - NP - are considered hard to solve_Large problems in this cateshygory cannot be solved on even the most powerful computers in the world because there are no algorithms that allow solution of the problem without escalating the number of calculations to a level beyond the capacity of computers Dr Swart says there are at least 1 000 known examples of proshyblems in this class of which the travelling salesman problem is one of the best known Even for a relatively small group of cities such as the 50 US capitals there has been no solushytion to the problem of devising a route that will enable a salesman to visit each ci ty only once while trashyvelling a mininlal distance

My results say these two classes of problems are equal and that there do exist good algorithms for solving this type of computer problem he says

To prove his results Dr Swarts paper cites a similar problem the Hamilton circuit which is illustrated by asking the question Can you visit each of several cities in succession Without backtracking

Dr Swarts problem establishes that the Hamilton circuit problem can be solved in polynomial time by conshyverting a mathematical programming formulation of the problem into a linear programming formulation and using existing polynomial ti me algorithms as established by Kachiyan and Kannarkar

The Significant feature of these results is that they will enable comshyputers to tackle larger problems with more unknowns and get the results more quickly

COMPUTER SCIENCE PROGRAM APPEALS TO STUDENTS

Guelphs new masters program in computer science which enrolled its fi rst students last September aims to move advanced information techshynology out of the research laboratory and into practical application says co-ordinator Professor Tom Wi on It combines graduate courses in the latest research developments with an applied thesis

Because there are only 13 students each has what can be called a tailorshymade program says Professor Wilson The Department of Computing and Information Science plans to accept another seven students this September and expects enrolment to grow to 30 with in the next few years - deshypending on the availability of faculty and space Even with that number the program will be smaller than others in the province so the level of personal contact and flexibil ity will remain high

Students in the program are often involved in problems that are of interest to other departments About two-thirds of the students are Guelph graduates - many with double degrees

TI1e undergraduate backgrounds of the students range from medicinal chemistry to philosophy and their research interests are just as varied as the following profiles indicate

RETIRING PROFESSOR HONORED

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry hosted a symposium in the spring on the molecular mechanshyisms underlying vertebrate visual transduction The symposium honored Professor Bill Abrahamson who retired May 1 It provided a review of current approaches to a field in which Professor AbJhamson s

communication He is developing softshyware that will allow dolphin comshymunication researchers at the nivershysity of Hawaii to extract information from a database using a natural language such as English rather than a computer language This would free them from having to learn comshyplex computer skills

Karl whose thesis adviser is Proshyfessor Mary Mcleish travelled to Hawaii in April to install a natural language processing system at the Kewalo Basin Marine Mammal laborashytory and to become more fami liar with the computers available there A graduate of Gue lph s computer science program Karl at 0 has an undergraduate degree in medicinal chemistry from Concordia University and has done graduate work in neuroshyscience at McMaster Medical Centre

Howard Pel ls special interest is fibre optics and their use in wide-area communication networks sing light instead of electricity offers amazing capabilities he says because teleshyphone television and computer data can be transmitted over a single piece of pi astie

Howard who is working under Professor Wilson has a joint BA C86) from Guelph in computer science and philosophy The undershygraouate program in computer science focused more on software says Howard but his preference is hardware The master s program allows him to devote his time to this first love

contributions are widely appreciated Speakers included Dr Barry Honig

CSS GRAD AIMS FOR OLYMPIC GOLD Andre Bordeleau C5S 79 MA 85 is determined to earn an Olympic gold medal in running game target shooting - no matter how long it takes

It may take a long time Im a late bloomer but I figure I have another 20 years to try Age is not a big problem in my sport and at least J didnt have to sacrifice my childhood to get where I am today says the 30-yearmiddotold political science graduate

Running game target requires the shooter using a 22-caJibre rifle to hit a wild pig moving on a 10-metre rail at 72 mph 144 mph or mixed speed middot from a distance of 50 metres There are many different versions of the sport but the Olympic discipline consists of 30 shots at the slower speed (slow runs ) and 30 at the faster speed ( fast runs)

Andre Bordeleau CSS 79 MA 85 is aimingfor O~yrnpic gold in running game target shooting

The CSSAlumniAssociation cut a cake during Alumni Weekend to celebrate its 10th anniversary Taking part were lef t to right Sandra Couch and Barbara Chance board directorsjohn Aviano newpresident and his wife Inara and facui~y advisor Victor Ujim

Andre became captivated by the sport of shooting when he had a job as an offi cial d river at the L976 Olympics in Montreal

Like most French-Canadian boys I wanted to p lay hockey for the Montreal Canadiens I have the size - 6-feet-l and 215 pounds - bUl there is a problem I cant skate Something to do with small curvatures in my spine nothing serious but enough to throw out my balance So since I couldnt be a professional hockey player I decided to become an Olympic amateur athlete

In pursuit of his goal Andre left his home in Montreal to study at the

niversity of Guelph in 1976 I wanted to srudy some place like Ontario where I could become bishylingual and Guelph was one of only three universities in the province with a rifle range he explains The University of Guelph Rifle Team won three Ontario championships from 1979-81

Andre started out on the Universitys rifle team shooting at stationary tarmiddot gets bu t decided to concentrate on running gan1e because it is more suited to his hyperactive personality He went to the Canadian championships in 1977 and placed ninth At a national competition in 1981 he set two Canadian records one of which stood for three years In 1984 he won the provincial championships and set a provincial record which still stands Also in 1984 he was invited to the Olympic trials and despite sustaining a concussion in a car accident on the first day of shooting he placed third Unfortunately only the first and second place winners qualified for the Olympics

In 1986 Andre went to his first international match the World Championships in East Gemlany He shot below his average and placed 46th in the 10 metre air rifle event an indoor scaled-down version ofmnning game target

1 was disappointed but I learned a lot Before I went [wasnt ranked in

24

the world at all At least now Im ranked he says

Undaunted he is currently training for the 1988 Olympics with national running game target team coach Dick Esseltine of Peterborough and he tries to practise at the Guelph rifle range eve1 day

Running game target shooting re shyquires concentration physica l stamina eye-band co-ordination and balance But staying in financial shape is a bigger challenge for Andre than staying physically fit Unable to find a job relating to his degrees he works as a night supervisor at Stonehenge a drug rehabilitation ce ntre near Guelph While he meets his liing expenses he is struggling to pay back stude nt loans and keep up with expenses incurred as an amateur athlete

Although he estimates he has dug a 860000 hole since making the move to Guelph and devoting himself to shootinghe has no regrets He says Guelph has been a good experience culturally and linguistically He views it as the place where he started a rich amateur career and as he plods on toward Olympic gold he takes satisshyfaction in his many smaller accomshyplishments

I believe in pursuing excellence Ive set the ultimate goal ( OLympic gold) and Im going to do my best to achieve it

INDUSTRIAL ORGAN IZA TIONAL

PSYCHOLOGY MEETS GROWING DEMAND

Ahigh demand for industrial psychoshylogists in Canada has led the Departshyment of Psychology to introduce a new graduate option

I ndllstriallOrganizaliorudPsychoshylogy is being added to the masters program for specialized training which could lead to work in personncl management job dcsign and analysis organizational consulting or health and safety in the workplace

The demand for industriaL PSTchoshylogists has been brought about by rapidly changing technology business growth and legislation in the areas of workplace safety human rights equal pay amI equal employment opportuni shyties Because there are few structured graduate programs in Canada to meet this need industrial psychologists have receiytd their training in the US Othe rs have trained themselves on the job

Steven Cranshaw who earned his PhD in industrial organizational

psychology at the University ofAkron is developing the new program at Guelph He was formerly at thc Univershysity of Waterloo and is currently chairman of the industrialorganizashytional section of the Canadian Psychoshylogical Association

The department is also pursuing a joint PhD program in industrial organizational psychology with the University of Waterloo It will offer training to the highest professionaJ standards in orth America

Dr Cranshawsays a 198687 survey done by Canada Employment and Immigration lists industrial organil3shytional psychology as an area of high job demand in the near future As graduates of the Guelph program become finnly established in the work force it will become readily apparent that this University is pLaying a major ro le in improving the quality of working life

WHATS NEW IN THE DEPARTMENTS POLITICAL STUDIES In September the department will introduce a dis shytance education diploma program in Public Policy and Administrat ion taught by Professor Richard Phidd The comprehensive program conshysisting of 10 courses at the undershygraduate level will provide an inte llectuaJ component to the workshyplace experiences of profeSSionals Distance education makes the depart shyments programs and courses more widely available to people in the work force ECONOMICS Professor Louis

Christofides is the new department chairman A major change which will take place LInder his direction is the establishment of a PhD program in resource and environmental econo shymics Professor Christofidcs aJso plans to oversee a review of the undershygraduate program He says the review will determine whether an approshypriate core course sequence is in place and whether the curriculum can be improved More spacc and the recmitment of quality facu lty and graduate students are also among his goals

GEOGRAPHY The birth ofProfessor Barry Smits daughter March 3 had some frantic moments Hanna was born in the family car as the harried father-to-be sped through the night to Guelph General Hospital She was dubbed Speedy Smit by the hospital staff and is a sister for two-year-old Emily Mother Ruth Ann and the baby came through the experience none the worse for wear but Professor Smit m ust have been glad to get back to the old routine of classes and lectures At least theyre fairly predictable

NEW DEPARTMENT TO FOCUS ON HEALTH OF GROUPS

A new department of population medicine at ove is focusing on tbe health of groups of animals rathe r than individuals particularly on-farm species

The department draws personnel from the departments of Clinical Studies and Veterinary Microbiology and Immunology

OVC Dean Ole Nielsen says its important for the College to have a department whose basic philosophy is concerned with the health of the group rather than the individual Its particularly important for the agri shyculnlre industry because modern food

production tends to work with large groups

Population medicine is the study of the frequency distribution and cost of disease and the inter-relationships among disease managemem enshyvironment and productivity It also involves applied strategies for health management and the prevention and control of disease

Dr ielsen says population medishyc ine is in line with the new health maintenance orientation of courses in OVCs new curriculum and it capitalizes on many ofOllr streng[hs It is also in Line with the needs of

vcterinary medicine in the future he says

As we move to larger and more complex farming operations and the economic crunch worsens there will be more emphaSiS on effiCiency and cost-effectiveness he says Population medicine is concerned with the disshytribution causes and costs of disease in animals There is emphasis on numeracy using quantitative data to measure the cost benefits of health care

Dr Nielsen says the new department will put ove in the forefront in thc modern approach to health maintenshyance in food-pn ducing animals

Dve BRIEFLY

Ove has launched a new fundshyraising p roject called Pet Trust The object is to raise money for research into problems and diseases affecting small or companion animals to further work already proceeding in such areas as oncology ophthalmology orthoshypedics reconsrmctive surgery organ dysfunction lOaesthesia infectious diseases animal behavior and human animal bonding and to provide fu nds for fellowships

Kits containing information about the program have been sent out to every veterinary practice in Ontario and response has been heartening

A Board of Tmstees will approve research projects and grants establish policy and generally promote the Pet Trust Annual reports will also be issued

The OVC Seminar Series has really blossomed List years speakers came from all the OVC Departments the Western College ofVeterinary Medishycine AgriCulture Canada and locatiOns abroad For advance notice about

upcoming seminars phone ( 519) 823-8800 ext 44l4

Over 750 people crowded into War Memorial Hall to hear the 1986 Schofield Memorial Lecturer Dr Kurt Benirschke speak on Endangered Species le Profe sor of Pathology from the University of California San Diego and former Director ofResearch at the San Diego Zoo attracted by far rhe largest audience in the series history

Scott Reid OVC 87 and Mary Handford a third-year architecture student at the niversity ofWattrloo together have won the Hills Pet Products Inc ArchitectureYeterinary Medical Student Hospital Design Award Valued at $2000 US the award is given annually to each of the vete rinary colleges in Canada to encourage inter ction between the architecture and veterinary professhysions and to encourage the design of veterinary clinics with optimum feashytures and facilities

Dr Dennis Howell dean of OVC from 1969-79 was made an honorary fellow of the University of Guelph in February and received a doctor of law degree from the UniverSity ofPE in May

DOES P EQUAL NP By Mary Dickieson

Pub lic Relations and Informa tion

One of the most perplexing proshyblems in computer science may have been solved by Professor Ted Swan who has a joint appointment in the departments of Mathematics and Statistics and Computing and Inforshymation Science He has written a paper offering proof that P=NP To the layman th is means that we will now be able to solve problems that we formerly thought we could not he says

Professor Bill Smith chair of the Department of Mathematics and Statisshytics says that if Dr Swarts results are verified they will really be quite earth-shattering and exceptional shyof far -reaching significance in mathematics

Dr Swart cautions that the jury is stili ou t on whether his approach will be proved or disproved by his peers but already his pronouncement has caused a stir in the computer world The findings are of considerable interest to everyone working in this area says Professor Smith and they are an important contribution to the problem whether or not they are eventually accepted as stated

Dr Swart says his results are bound to be met by a great deal of proshyfessional suspicion because they are contrary to the prevailing thought Most people think that P does not equal P

Although the results are still theoreshytical Professor Smith and Dr Swart agree they could have a number of practical applications Industry commerce finance and most other sectors of society that use computers could benefit from Dr Swart s adshyvancement of one of the ftmdamental aspects of computer science the use of algorithms

People solve problems on comshyputers by using precisely defined sets of steps called algOrithms says Dr_ Swart Of the two classes ofcomputer problems class P refers to those for which good polynomial time

algorithms exist enabling them to be solved effiCiently on a computer Dr Swart cites the example of the minishymal connector problem which asks for a scheme to cormect a group of cities by telephone wires in such a way that the amount of wire used is minima l Good algori thms allow this problem to be solved easily regardshyless of the number ofcities involved he says

Computer problems in the second class - NP - are considered hard to solve_Large problems in this cateshygory cannot be solved on even the most powerful computers in the world because there are no algorithms that allow solution of the problem without escalating the number of calculations to a level beyond the capacity of computers Dr Swart says there are at least 1 000 known examples of proshyblems in this class of which the travelling salesman problem is one of the best known Even for a relatively small group of cities such as the 50 US capitals there has been no solushytion to the problem of devising a route that will enable a salesman to visit each ci ty only once while trashyvelling a mininlal distance

My results say these two classes of problems are equal and that there do exist good algorithms for solving this type of computer problem he says

To prove his results Dr Swarts paper cites a similar problem the Hamilton circuit which is illustrated by asking the question Can you visit each of several cities in succession Without backtracking

Dr Swarts problem establishes that the Hamilton circuit problem can be solved in polynomial time by conshyverting a mathematical programming formulation of the problem into a linear programming formulation and using existing polynomial ti me algorithms as established by Kachiyan and Kannarkar

The Significant feature of these results is that they will enable comshyputers to tackle larger problems with more unknowns and get the results more quickly

NEW DEAN Professor ltlin Campbell director of the Guelph- Waterloo Program for Graduate Work in Physics has been named dean ofthe College ofPhysical Science He began his jive-year tenn july 1 PrOfessor Campbell who has been on faculty at Guelph since 1968 holds BSc PhD and DSc_ degrees from Glasgow University

COMPUTER SCIENCE PROGRAM APPEALS TO STUDENTS

Guelphs new masters program in computer science which enrolled its fi rst students last September aims to move advanced information techshynology out of the research laboratory and into practical application says co-ordinator Professor Tom Wi on It combines graduate courses in the latest research developments with an applied thesis

Because there are only 13 students each has what can be called a tailorshymade program says Professor Wilson The Department of Computing and Information Science plans to accept another seven students this September and expects enrolment to grow to 30 with in the next few years - deshypending on the availability of faculty and space Even with that number the program will be smaller than others in the province so the level of personal contact and flexibil ity will remain high

Students in the program are often involved in problems that are of interest to other departments About two-thirds of the students are Guelph graduates - many with double degrees

TI1e undergraduate backgrounds of the students range from medicinal chemistry to philosophy and their research interests are just as varied as the following profiles indicate

Talking to Dolphins

Karl Langton CPS 84 is combining research in artificial intelligence with a long-standing interest in dolphin

RETIRING PROFESSOR HONORED

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry hosted a symposium in the spring on the molecular mechanshyisms underlying vertebrate visual transduction The symposium honored Professor Bill Abrahamson who retired May 1 It provided a review of current approaches to a field in which Professor AbJhamson s

communication He is developing softshyware that will allow dolphin comshymunication researchers at the nivershysity of Hawaii to extract information from a database using a natural language such as English rather than a computer language This would free them from having to learn comshyplex computer skills

Karl whose thesis adviser is Proshyfessor Mary Mcleish travelled to Hawaii in April to install a natural language processing system at the Kewalo Basin Marine Mammal laborashytory and to become more fami liar with the computers available there A graduate of Gue lph s computer science program Karl at 0 has an undergraduate degree in medicinal chemistry from Concordia University and has done graduate work in neuroshyscience at McMaster Medical Centre

Howard Pel ls special interest is fibre optics and their use in wide-area communication networks sing light instead of electricity offers amazing capabilities he says because teleshyphone television and computer data can be transmitted over a single piece of pi astie

Howard who is working under Professor Wilson has a joint BA C86) from Guelph in computer science and philosophy The undershygraouate program in computer science focused more on software says Howard but his preference is hardware The master s program allows him to devote his time to this first love

contributions are widely appreciated Speakers included Dr Barry Honig

of Columbia University New York Dr Roger LeBlanc University of Quebec Trois-Rivieres Dr Edward Pugh University of Pennsylvania Ph ilade lphia and Dr Meredith Applebury Purdue University West Lafayette Indiana

NAMED TO ROYAL SOCIETY

ProfessorJohn Sinlpson has become the fou rth University of Gue lph physicist to be named a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada He was inducted into the society Academy of Science at its annual meeting this spring

In 1985 Dr Simpson received the societys prestigious Rutherford Memorial Medal in Physics for his work in nuclear and particle physics He earned international recognition for his study of neutrinos - subatomjc particles that are part of all matter in the universe - and has been instrushymental in planning a solar neutrino observatory that will open in udbury in 1990

Dr Simp on who has been on faculty at Guelph since 1969 holds a BASe and MSc from [he University ofToronto and a DPhil from Oxford University He shares the FRSC disshyti nction with eight other Guelph faculty - Professors Peter Egelstaff Gabriel Karl and Bernhard ickel Physics Bruce Sells dean of CBS Derek Bewley chair of Botany Michael Ruse Philosphy and History Colin Fyfe Chemistry and Herb Armstrong special assistant to the president

DR JOHN POWEll RECEIVES MEDAL OF MERIT

Dr John Powell who retired as professor of Human Kinetics in 1984 received the niversitys Medal of Merit at spring convocation in recognishytion not only of his important contrishybutions to establishing the study of human structure and function at the University but also in appreciation of his dedication to the physical wellshybeing of mankind

During 20 years of service to the niversity Dr Powell served two

terms as Director of the School of Human Biology and Chairman of the Department of Human Kinetics Through his guidance the Department ofHuman Kintlics was established as part of the new College of Biological Science in 1971 and after retiring he received the College s first Merishytorious Service Medal

With the untimely death of Walter Vaughan in late 1983 the call came from the Presidents office to fill Secretary of Senate Dr Powell plugged the gap for seven months fulfilling his goal to serve at the University as well as the College and departrnentallevels

CSS GRAD AIMS FOR OLYMPIC GOLD Andre Bordeleau C5S 79 MA 85 is determined to earn an Olympic gold medal in running game target shooting - no matter how long it takes

It may take a long time Im a late bloomer but I figure I have another 20 years to try Age is not a big problem in my sport and at least J didnt have to sacrifice my childhood to get where I am today says the 30-yearmiddotold political science graduate

Running game target requires the shooter using a 22-caJibre rifle to hit a wild pig moving on a 10-metre rail at 72 mph 144 mph or mixed speed middot from a distance of 50 metres There are many different versions of the sport but the Olympic discipline consists of 30 shots at the slower speed (slow runs ) and 30 at the faster speed ( fast runs)

Andre Bordeleau CSS 79 MA 85 is aimingfor O~yrnpic gold in running game target shooting

The CSSAlumniAssociation cut a cake during Alumni Weekend to celebrate its 10th anniversary Taking part were lef t to right Sandra Couch and Barbara Chance board directorsjohn Aviano newpresident and his wife Inara and facui~y advisor Victor Ujim

Andre became captivated by the sport of shooting when he had a job as an offi cial d river at the L976 Olympics in Montreal

Like most French-Canadian boys I wanted to p lay hockey for the Montreal Canadiens I have the size - 6-feet-l and 215 pounds - bUl there is a problem I cant skate Something to do with small curvatures in my spine nothing serious but enough to throw out my balance So since I couldnt be a professional hockey player I decided to become an Olympic amateur athlete

In pursuit of his goal Andre left his home in Montreal to study at the

niversity of Guelph in 1976 I wanted to srudy some place like Ontario where I could become bishylingual and Guelph was one of only three universities in the province with a rifle range he explains The University of Guelph Rifle Team won three Ontario championships from 1979-81

Andre started out on the Universitys rifle team shooting at stationary tarmiddot gets bu t decided to concentrate on running gan1e because it is more suited to his hyperactive personality He went to the Canadian championships in 1977 and placed ninth At a national competition in 1981 he set two Canadian records one of which stood for three years In 1984 he won the provincial championships and set a provincial record which still stands Also in 1984 he was invited to the Olympic trials and despite sustaining a concussion in a car accident on the first day of shooting he placed third Unfortunately only the first and second place winners qualified for the Olympics

In 1986 Andre went to his first international match the World Championships in East Gemlany He shot below his average and placed 46th in the 10 metre air rifle event an indoor scaled-down version ofmnning game target

1 was disappointed but I learned a lot Before I went [wasnt ranked in

24

the world at all At least now Im ranked he says

Undaunted he is currently training for the 1988 Olympics with national running game target team coach Dick Esseltine of Peterborough and he tries to practise at the Guelph rifle range eve1 day

Running game target shooting re shyquires concentration physica l stamina eye-band co-ordination and balance But staying in financial shape is a bigger challenge for Andre than staying physically fit Unable to find a job relating to his degrees he works as a night supervisor at Stonehenge a drug rehabilitation ce ntre near Guelph While he meets his liing expenses he is struggling to pay back stude nt loans and keep up with expenses incurred as an amateur athlete

Although he estimates he has dug a 860000 hole since making the move to Guelph and devoting himself to shootinghe has no regrets He says Guelph has been a good experience culturally and linguistically He views it as the place where he started a rich amateur career and as he plods on toward Olympic gold he takes satisshyfaction in his many smaller accomshyplishments

I believe in pursuing excellence Ive set the ultimate goal ( OLympic gold) and Im going to do my best to achieve it

INDUSTRIAL ORGAN IZA TIONAL

PSYCHOLOGY MEETS GROWING DEMAND

Ahigh demand for industrial psychoshylogists in Canada has led the Departshyment of Psychology to introduce a new graduate option

I ndllstriallOrganizaliorudPsychoshylogy is being added to the masters program for specialized training which could lead to work in personncl management job dcsign and analysis organizational consulting or health and safety in the workplace

The demand for industriaL PSTchoshylogists has been brought about by rapidly changing technology business growth and legislation in the areas of workplace safety human rights equal pay amI equal employment opportuni shyties Because there are few structured graduate programs in Canada to meet this need industrial psychologists have receiytd their training in the US Othe rs have trained themselves on the job

Steven Cranshaw who earned his PhD in industrial organizational

psychology at the University ofAkron is developing the new program at Guelph He was formerly at thc Univershysity of Waterloo and is currently chairman of the industrialorganizashytional section of the Canadian Psychoshylogical Association

The department is also pursuing a joint PhD program in industrial organizational psychology with the University of Waterloo It will offer training to the highest professionaJ standards in orth America

Dr Cranshawsays a 198687 survey done by Canada Employment and Immigration lists industrial organil3shytional psychology as an area of high job demand in the near future As graduates of the Guelph program become finnly established in the work force it will become readily apparent that this University is pLaying a major ro le in improving the quality of working life

WHATS NEW IN THE DEPARTMENTS POLITICAL STUDIES In September the department will introduce a dis shytance education diploma program in Public Policy and Administrat ion taught by Professor Richard Phidd The comprehensive program conshysisting of 10 courses at the undershygraduate level will provide an inte llectuaJ component to the workshyplace experiences of profeSSionals Distance education makes the depart shyments programs and courses more widely available to people in the work force ECONOMICS Professor Louis

Christofides is the new department chairman A major change which will take place LInder his direction is the establishment of a PhD program in resource and environmental econo shymics Professor Christofidcs aJso plans to oversee a review of the undershygraduate program He says the review will determine whether an approshypriate core course sequence is in place and whether the curriculum can be improved More spacc and the recmitment of quality facu lty and graduate students are also among his goals

GEOGRAPHY The birth ofProfessor Barry Smits daughter March 3 had some frantic moments Hanna was born in the family car as the harried father-to-be sped through the night to Guelph General Hospital She was dubbed Speedy Smit by the hospital staff and is a sister for two-year-old Emily Mother Ruth Ann and the baby came through the experience none the worse for wear but Professor Smit m ust have been glad to get back to the old routine of classes and lectures At least theyre fairly predictable

DOES P EQUAL NP By Mary Dickieson

Pub lic Relations and Informa tion

One of the most perplexing proshyblems in computer science may have been solved by Professor Ted Swan who has a joint appointment in the departments of Mathematics and Statistics and Computing and Inforshymation Science He has written a paper offering proof that P=NP To the layman th is means that we will now be able to solve problems that we formerly thought we could not he says

Professor Bill Smith chair of the Department of Mathematics and Statisshytics says that if Dr Swarts results are verified they will really be quite earth-shattering and exceptional shyof far -reaching significance in mathematics

Dr Swart cautions that the jury is stili ou t on whether his approach will be proved or disproved by his peers but already his pronouncement has caused a stir in the computer world The findings are of considerable interest to everyone working in this area says Professor Smith and they are an important contribution to the problem whether or not they are eventually accepted as stated

Dr Swart says his results are bound to be met by a great deal of proshyfessional suspicion because they are contrary to the prevailing thought Most people think that P does not equal P

Although the results are still theoreshytical Professor Smith and Dr Swart agree they could have a number of practical applications Industry commerce finance and most other sectors of society that use computers could benefit from Dr Swart s adshyvancement of one of the ftmdamental aspects of computer science the use of algorithms

People solve problems on comshyputers by using precisely defined sets of steps called algOrithms says Dr_ Swart Of the two classes ofcomputer problems class P refers to those for which good polynomial time

algorithms exist enabling them to be solved effiCiently on a computer Dr Swart cites the example of the minishymal connector problem which asks for a scheme to cormect a group of cities by telephone wires in such a way that the amount of wire used is minima l Good algori thms allow this problem to be solved easily regardshyless of the number ofcities involved he says

Computer problems in the second class - NP - are considered hard to solve_Large problems in this cateshygory cannot be solved on even the most powerful computers in the world because there are no algorithms that allow solution of the problem without escalating the number of calculations to a level beyond the capacity of computers Dr Swart says there are at least 1 000 known examples of proshyblems in this class of which the travelling salesman problem is one of the best known Even for a relatively small group of cities such as the 50 US capitals there has been no solushytion to the problem of devising a route that will enable a salesman to visit each ci ty only once while trashyvelling a mininlal distance

My results say these two classes of problems are equal and that there do exist good algorithms for solving this type of computer problem he says

To prove his results Dr Swarts paper cites a similar problem the Hamilton circuit which is illustrated by asking the question Can you visit each of several cities in succession Without backtracking

Dr Swarts problem establishes that the Hamilton circuit problem can be solved in polynomial time by conshyverting a mathematical programming formulation of the problem into a linear programming formulation and using existing polynomial ti me algorithms as established by Kachiyan and Kannarkar

The Significant feature of these results is that they will enable comshyputers to tackle larger problems with more unknowns and get the results more quickly

NEW DEAN Professor ltlin Campbell director of the Guelph- Waterloo Program for Graduate Work in Physics has been named dean ofthe College ofPhysical Science He began his jive-year tenn july 1 PrOfessor Campbell who has been on faculty at Guelph since 1968 holds BSc PhD and DSc_ degrees from Glasgow University

COMPUTER SCIENCE PROGRAM APPEALS TO STUDENTS

Guelphs new masters program in computer science which enrolled its fi rst students last September aims to move advanced information techshynology out of the research laboratory and into practical application says co-ordinator Professor Tom Wi on It combines graduate courses in the latest research developments with an applied thesis

Because there are only 13 students each has what can be called a tailorshymade program says Professor Wilson The Department of Computing and Information Science plans to accept another seven students this September and expects enrolment to grow to 30 with in the next few years - deshypending on the availability of faculty and space Even with that number the program will be smaller than others in the province so the level of personal contact and flexibil ity will remain high

Students in the program are often involved in problems that are of interest to other departments About two-thirds of the students are Guelph graduates - many with double degrees

TI1e undergraduate backgrounds of the students range from medicinal chemistry to philosophy and their research interests are just as varied as the following profiles indicate

RETIRING PROFESSOR HONORED

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry hosted a symposium in the spring on the molecular mechanshyisms underlying vertebrate visual transduction The symposium honored Professor Bill Abrahamson who retired May 1 It provided a review of current approaches to a field in which Professor AbJhamson s

communication He is developing softshyware that will allow dolphin comshymunication researchers at the nivershysity of Hawaii to extract information from a database using a natural language such as English rather than a computer language This would free them from having to learn comshyplex computer skills

Karl whose thesis adviser is Proshyfessor Mary Mcleish travelled to Hawaii in April to install a natural language processing system at the Kewalo Basin Marine Mammal laborashytory and to become more fami liar with the computers available there A graduate of Gue lph s computer science program Karl at 0 has an undergraduate degree in medicinal chemistry from Concordia University and has done graduate work in neuroshyscience at McMaster Medical Centre

Howard Pel ls special interest is fibre optics and their use in wide-area communication networks sing light instead of electricity offers amazing capabilities he says because teleshyphone television and computer data can be transmitted over a single piece of pi astie

Howard who is working under Professor Wilson has a joint BA C86) from Guelph in computer science and philosophy The undershygraouate program in computer science focused more on software says Howard but his preference is hardware The master s program allows him to devote his time to this first love

contributions are widely appreciated Speakers included Dr Barry Honig

of Columbia University New York Dr Roger LeBlanc University of Quebec Trois-Rivieres Dr Edward Pugh University of Pennsylvania Ph ilade lphia and Dr Meredith Applebury Purdue University West Lafayette Indiana

NAMED TO ROYAL SOCIETY

ProfessorJohn Sinlpson has become the fou rth University of Gue lph physicist to be named a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada He was inducted into the society Academy of Science at its annual meeting this spring

In 1985 Dr Simpson received the societys prestigious Rutherford Memorial Medal in Physics for his work in nuclear and particle physics He earned international recognition for his study of neutrinos - subatomjc particles that are part of all matter in the universe - and has been instrushymental in planning a solar neutrino observatory that will open in udbury in 1990

DR JOHN POWEll RECEIVES MEDAL OF MERIT

Dr John Powell who retired as professor of Human Kinetics in 1984 received the niversitys Medal of Merit at spring convocation in recognishytion not only of his important contrishybutions to establishing the study of human structure and function at the University but also in appreciation of his dedication to the physical wellshybeing of mankind

During 20 years of service to the niversity Dr Powell served two

terms as Director of the School of Human Biology and Chairman of the Department of Human Kinetics Through his guidance the Department ofHuman Kintlics was established as part of the new College of Biological Science in 1971 and after retiring he received the College s first Merishytorious Service Medal

With the untimely death of Walter Vaughan in late 1983 the call came from the Presidents office to fill Secretary of Senate Dr Powell plugged the gap for seven months fulfilling his goal to serve at the University as well as the College and departrnentallevels

In 1983 the Faculty Association presented Dr Powell with the first University of Guelph Special Merit Award in recognition of teaching excellence curriculum development and dedication to his students

Included among Dr Powells achishyevements is the initiation of the Human Kinetics Student Symposium in 1971 This undertaking has become a popular annual campus event

Dr Powell served as Honorary Preshysident of the Human Kinetics Alumni Association from 1971 -83 and served as editor of both the Bio-Sci News in the Guelph Alumnus and the Human Kinetics Newsletter The Human Kinetics Alumn i Association has honored him with a scholarship in his nanle

When he arrived at Guelph in 1965 Dr Powell initiated and for five days a week still leads the CardioshyVascular Club This club has brought a genuine enjoyment of exercise into

the lives ofDr Powells many disciples In 1983 a film featuring the CardioshyVascular Club funded by the Univershysity of Guelph Alumni Association won acdaim from the Czechoslovashykian government The film was later shown in Budapest at the request of the Hungarian government Dr Powell was honored by Premier WilIian1 Davis in 1985 for his specific conshytrihution to cardiov-Scular rehabilishytation

For 15 years Or Powell has been a member of the I nternational Olympic Academy an institution that develops the theory ethics and procedures for the Olympic Games His contribution to the Academy was recognized by the He llenic Olympic Committee when it conferred upon him the prestigious rank of Collaborator and awarded him a silver medallion_ He also received one of two silver commemorative medals presented to Canadians in 1986 for devoted work to the youth of the world through the International Olympic Academy since 1972

Dr Powell has come up with a definition for the word Olympism wh ich has been officially accepted by the Canadian Olympic Association

PROFESSOR EMERITUS

PrOfessor emeritus status was bestowed on Professor John George Department of Zoology at spring convocation

Born and educated in India Proshyfessor George joined the University of Baroda in 1950 as the first head of its zoology department and over the next decade developed one of the leading zoology departments in India He came to Guelph as professor of zoology in 1967 a pOSition he held until his retirement in 1986

Twice a Fulbright FeUow Professor George has been an invited speaker at

Dr john Powel~ Left receives MedaL afMeritfrom Chancelor William A StfnVart at spring convocation

The word was first used in 1896 and continued to be used but had never been defined middotThe definition states that olympism is a harmony of ideas and ideals that affinn the value of Olympic sport in promoting and developing physical and moral quali shyties in individuals and in contributing to a better and more peaceful world by enabling nations to meet in an atmosphere of mutual respect and international amity

One word that Dr Powell hasnt come up with a definition for is retirement A self-proclaimed people person he continues to remain active on campus through the Human Kinetics Symposia and the Cardio-Vascular eurolub and also conshyducts back rehabilitation clinics through Medical Services As long as people need him he will have contrishybutions to make Im a very thankful man he says

ProfessorEmeritusjohn George left with Chancellor William A Stewart

PROFESSOR RETIRES

Drw George Barker was honored on his retirement recently at a dinner and reception hosted by the Departshyment of Botany Dr Barkers career in plant science includes two periods at the University of Guelph From 1972 to 1983 he was chair of the Depart shyment of Botany and Genetics in the newly-formed College of Biological Science and was instrumental in guiding the department into new strengths in Botany Ecology and Genetics The emerging Genetics section became the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics in 1983

Dr Barker a native of Stratford served in Europe during World War II as a captain in the Provost Company of the Canadian Army On his return he earned his BSe (1947 ) and MSc ( 1949 ) at the University of Western Ontario His masters thesis was con shycerned with the effect of ethyl carbashymate on mitotic activity in plants This biologically-active compound recently made headlines as a contashyminant of certain wines

In 1953 Dr Barker received his PhD from the University ofMichigan for h is thesis on the proliferation of bass wood taken from 50-year-old trunk tissue demonstrating that these cells retained full developmental capashycity From this time on Dr Barker has maintained an interest in plant tissue culture

From 1952-54Dr Barker was assisshytant professor in the Department of Botany ( then OAC) During this period he perfected the technique of produci ng tubers in vitro This approach remains a cornerstone of modem biotechnology with potatoes

From 1955 to 1960 Dr Barker worked with the United Fmit Comshypany in Costa Rica Honduras and at Cornell developing practical methods of banana propagation still in wideshyspread use and carrying out basic studies on morphology and anatomy He became co-ordinator of research on lowbush blueberries at the Agri shyc ultural Rese a r c h Stat ion in Frederic ton and in 1964 w as appointed Director of the Biological Teaching Unit University of Manitoba

Dr W George Barker

When Dr Barker returned to Guelph in 1972 he llsed his long shyestablished experience in basic and applied research and teaching to build a new department in a new College He leaves behind a strong teaching department which also has an estab shyli shed in ternational research reputalion

Dr Keith Ronald director of the Arboretum and former dean of CBS announced that a Scotch pine in the Arboretum had been dedicated in honor of Dr Barkers contribution to all aipects ofUniversity life Dr Bruce Sells dean of CBS emphasized Dr Barkers pivotaJ role in initiating strong programs in three areas of biological science and presented him with a chair on behalf of the College Dr ] Derek Bewley present chair of Botany thanked Dr Barker for his help and guidance and presented a VCR from the 100 alumni students staff and faculty members in attendance at the dinner

ZOOLOGY PROFESSOR WINS

A task force representing senior levels of the dietetic profession and institutional foodservice management met on campus earlier this year to advise the School of Hotel and Food Administration ( HAFA ) about the development of its Institutional Foodshyservice Management Program ( IFM ) The task force convened by FACS Dean Richard Barham is part ofHAFAs review of the IFM program one of two majors offered in the Bachelor of Commerce honors program

Included on the task force are the preside n t and executive vic e shypresident of Canadas two largest institutional foodservice management firms as well as the vice-president of the countrys largest nursing home chain

Discussion focused on intermediate and long-term plans of HAFA faculty The task force supports curriculum revisions designed to strengthen the nutrit ion and b iological science components of the IFM major The program prepares graduates for intern shyships as adn inistrative dietitians although some graduates choose to follow careers in institutional food middot service outside dietetics

The task force al so support s graduate training in administration for dietetic professionals There is a need for such a progran1 among therashypeutic dietitians seeking to shift their field of practice [Q administration and among administrative dietitians who wish to improve their qualifi shycations The task force also feels that a masters degree would be an appro shypriate alternat ive to a dietetic internship

The task force discussed the need for programs of continuing pro shyfessional education It supports proposals to develop more courses in continuing education as it relates [Q

administrative dietetics

CSS GRAD AIMS FOR OLYMPIC GOLD Andre Bordeleau C5S 79 MA 85 is determined to earn an Olympic gold medal in running game target shooting - no matter how long it takes

It may take a long time Im a late bloomer but I figure I have another 20 years to try Age is not a big problem in my sport and at least J didnt have to sacrifice my childhood to get where I am today says the 30-yearmiddotold political science graduate

Running game target requires the shooter using a 22-caJibre rifle to hit a wild pig moving on a 10-metre rail at 72 mph 144 mph or mixed speed middot from a distance of 50 metres There are many different versions of the sport but the Olympic discipline consists of 30 shots at the slower speed (slow runs ) and 30 at the faster speed ( fast runs)

Andre Bordeleau CSS 79 MA 85 is aimingfor O~yrnpic gold in running game target shooting

The CSSAlumniAssociation cut a cake during Alumni Weekend to celebrate its 10th anniversary Taking part were lef t to right Sandra Couch and Barbara Chance board directorsjohn Aviano newpresident and his wife Inara and facui~y advisor Victor Ujim

Andre became captivated by the sport of shooting when he had a job as an offi cial d river at the L976 Olympics in Montreal

Like most French-Canadian boys I wanted to p lay hockey for the Montreal Canadiens I have the size - 6-feet-l and 215 pounds - bUl there is a problem I cant skate Something to do with small curvatures in my spine nothing serious but enough to throw out my balance So since I couldnt be a professional hockey player I decided to become an Olympic amateur athlete

In pursuit of his goal Andre left his home in Montreal to study at the

niversity of Guelph in 1976 I wanted to srudy some place like Ontario where I could become bishylingual and Guelph was one of only three universities in the province with a rifle range he explains The University of Guelph Rifle Team won three Ontario championships from 1979-81

Andre started out on the Universitys rifle team shooting at stationary tarmiddot gets bu t decided to concentrate on running gan1e because it is more suited to his hyperactive personality He went to the Canadian championships in 1977 and placed ninth At a national competition in 1981 he set two Canadian records one of which stood for three years In 1984 he won the provincial championships and set a provincial record which still stands Also in 1984 he was invited to the Olympic trials and despite sustaining a concussion in a car accident on the first day of shooting he placed third Unfortunately only the first and second place winners qualified for the Olympics

In 1986 Andre went to his first international match the World Championships in East Gemlany He shot below his average and placed 46th in the 10 metre air rifle event an indoor scaled-down version ofmnning game target

1 was disappointed but I learned a lot Before I went [wasnt ranked in

24

the world at all At least now Im ranked he says

Undaunted he is currently training for the 1988 Olympics with national running game target team coach Dick Esseltine of Peterborough and he tries to practise at the Guelph rifle range eve1 day

Running game target shooting re shyquires concentration physica l stamina eye-band co-ordination and balance But staying in financial shape is a bigger challenge for Andre than staying physically fit Unable to find a job relating to his degrees he works as a night supervisor at Stonehenge a drug rehabilitation ce ntre near Guelph While he meets his liing expenses he is struggling to pay back stude nt loans and keep up with expenses incurred as an amateur athlete

Although he estimates he has dug a 860000 hole since making the move to Guelph and devoting himself to shootinghe has no regrets He says Guelph has been a good experience culturally and linguistically He views it as the place where he started a rich amateur career and as he plods on toward Olympic gold he takes satisshyfaction in his many smaller accomshyplishments

I believe in pursuing excellence Ive set the ultimate goal ( OLympic gold) and Im going to do my best to achieve it

INDUSTRIAL ORGAN IZA TIONAL

PSYCHOLOGY MEETS GROWING DEMAND

Ahigh demand for industrial psychoshylogists in Canada has led the Departshyment of Psychology to introduce a new graduate option

I ndllstriallOrganizaliorudPsychoshylogy is being added to the masters program for specialized training which could lead to work in personncl management job dcsign and analysis organizational consulting or health and safety in the workplace

The demand for industriaL PSTchoshylogists has been brought about by rapidly changing technology business growth and legislation in the areas of workplace safety human rights equal pay amI equal employment opportuni shyties Because there are few structured graduate programs in Canada to meet this need industrial psychologists have receiytd their training in the US Othe rs have trained themselves on the job

Steven Cranshaw who earned his PhD in industrial organizational

psychology at the University ofAkron is developing the new program at Guelph He was formerly at thc Univershysity of Waterloo and is currently chairman of the industrialorganizashytional section of the Canadian Psychoshylogical Association

The department is also pursuing a joint PhD program in industrial organizational psychology with the University of Waterloo It will offer training to the highest professionaJ standards in orth America

Dr Cranshawsays a 198687 survey done by Canada Employment and Immigration lists industrial organil3shytional psychology as an area of high job demand in the near future As graduates of the Guelph program become finnly established in the work force it will become readily apparent that this University is pLaying a major ro le in improving the quality of working life

WHATS NEW IN THE DEPARTMENTS POLITICAL STUDIES In September the department will introduce a dis shytance education diploma program in Public Policy and Administrat ion taught by Professor Richard Phidd The comprehensive program conshysisting of 10 courses at the undershygraduate level will provide an inte llectuaJ component to the workshyplace experiences of profeSSionals Distance education makes the depart shyments programs and courses more widely available to people in the work force ECONOMICS Professor Louis

Christofides is the new department chairman A major change which will take place LInder his direction is the establishment of a PhD program in resource and environmental econo shymics Professor Christofidcs aJso plans to oversee a review of the undershygraduate program He says the review will determine whether an approshypriate core course sequence is in place and whether the curriculum can be improved More spacc and the recmitment of quality facu lty and graduate students are also among his goals

GEOGRAPHY The birth ofProfessor Barry Smits daughter March 3 had some frantic moments Hanna was born in the family car as the harried father-to-be sped through the night to Guelph General Hospital She was dubbed Speedy Smit by the hospital staff and is a sister for two-year-old Emily Mother Ruth Ann and the baby came through the experience none the worse for wear but Professor Smit m ust have been glad to get back to the old routine of classes and lectures At least theyre fairly predictable

COMPUTER SCIENCE PROGRAM APPEALS TO STUDENTS

Guelphs new masters program in computer science which enrolled its fi rst students last September aims to move advanced information techshynology out of the research laboratory and into practical application says co-ordinator Professor Tom Wi on It combines graduate courses in the latest research developments with an applied thesis

Because there are only 13 students each has what can be called a tailorshymade program says Professor Wilson The Department of Computing and Information Science plans to accept another seven students this September and expects enrolment to grow to 30 with in the next few years - deshypending on the availability of faculty and space Even with that number the program will be smaller than others in the province so the level of personal contact and flexibil ity will remain high

Students in the program are often involved in problems that are of interest to other departments About two-thirds of the students are Guelph graduates - many with double degrees

TI1e undergraduate backgrounds of the students range from medicinal chemistry to philosophy and their research interests are just as varied as the following profiles indicate

RETIRING PROFESSOR HONORED

The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry hosted a symposium in the spring on the molecular mechanshyisms underlying vertebrate visual transduction The symposium honored Professor Bill Abrahamson who retired May 1 It provided a review of current approaches to a field in which Professor AbJhamson s

communication He is developing softshyware that will allow dolphin comshymunication researchers at the nivershysity of Hawaii to extract information from a database using a natural language such as English rather than a computer language This would free them from having to learn comshyplex computer skills

Karl whose thesis adviser is Proshyfessor Mary Mcleish travelled to Hawaii in April to install a natural language processing system at the Kewalo Basin Marine Mammal laborashytory and to become more fami liar with the computers available there A graduate of Gue lph s computer science program Karl at 0 has an undergraduate degree in medicinal chemistry from Concordia University and has done graduate work in neuroshyscience at McMaster Medical Centre

Howard Pel ls special interest is fibre optics and their use in wide-area communication networks sing light instead of electricity offers amazing capabilities he says because teleshyphone television and computer data can be transmitted over a single piece of pi astie

Howard who is working under Professor Wilson has a joint BA C86) from Guelph in computer science and philosophy The undershygraouate program in computer science focused more on software says Howard but his preference is hardware The master s program allows him to devote his time to this first love

contributions are widely appreciated Speakers included Dr Barry Honig

of Columbia University New York Dr Roger LeBlanc University of Quebec Trois-Rivieres Dr Edward Pugh University of Pennsylvania Ph ilade lphia and Dr Meredith Applebury Purdue University West Lafayette Indiana

PROFESSOR RETIRES

Drw George Barker was honored on his retirement recently at a dinner and reception hosted by the Departshyment of Botany Dr Barkers career in plant science includes two periods at the University of Guelph From 1972 to 1983 he was chair of the Depart shyment of Botany and Genetics in the newly-formed College of Biological Science and was instrumental in guiding the department into new strengths in Botany Ecology and Genetics The emerging Genetics section became the Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics in 1983

Dr Barker a native of Stratford served in Europe during World War II as a captain in the Provost Company of the Canadian Army On his return he earned his BSe (1947 ) and MSc ( 1949 ) at the University of Western Ontario His masters thesis was con shycerned with the effect of ethyl carbashymate on mitotic activity in plants This biologically-active compound recently made headlines as a contashyminant of certain wines

In 1953 Dr Barker received his PhD from the University ofMichigan for h is thesis on the proliferation of bass wood taken from 50-year-old trunk tissue demonstrating that these cells retained full developmental capashycity From this time on Dr Barker has maintained an interest in plant tissue culture

From 1952-54Dr Barker was assisshytant professor in the Department of Botany ( then OAC) During this period he perfected the technique of produci ng tubers in vitro This approach remains a cornerstone of modem biotechnology with potatoes

From 1955 to 1960 Dr Barker worked with the United Fmit Comshypany in Costa Rica Honduras and at Cornell developing practical methods of banana propagation still in wideshyspread use and carrying out basic studies on morphology and anatomy He became co-ordinator of research on lowbush blueberries at the Agri shyc ultural Rese a r c h Stat ion in Frederic ton and in 1964 w as appointed Director of the Biological Teaching Unit University of Manitoba

INDUSTRY TASK FORCE REVIEWS IFM PROGRAM

A task force representing senior levels of the dietetic profession and institutional foodservice management met on campus earlier this year to advise the School of Hotel and Food Administration ( HAFA ) about the development of its Institutional Foodshyservice Management Program ( IFM ) The task force convened by FACS Dean Richard Barham is part ofHAFAs review of the IFM program one of two majors offered in the Bachelor of Commerce honors program

Included on the task force are the preside n t and executive vic e shypresident of Canadas two largest institutional foodservice management firms as well as the vice-president of the countrys largest nursing home chain

Discussion focused on intermediate and long-term plans of HAFA faculty The task force supports curriculum revisions designed to strengthen the nutrit ion and b iological science components of the IFM major The program prepares graduates for intern shyships as adn inistrative dietitians although some graduates choose to follow careers in institutional food middot service outside dietetics

The task force al so support s graduate training in administration for dietetic professionals There is a need for such a progran1 among therashypeutic dietitians seeking to shift their field of practice [Q administration and among administrative dietitians who wish to improve their qualifi shycations The task force also feels that a masters degree would be an appro shypriate alternat ive to a dietetic internship

The task force discussed the need for programs of continuing pro shyfessional education It supports proposals to develop more courses in continuing education as it relates [Q

administrative dietetics

CSS GRAD AIMS FOR OLYMPIC GOLD Andre Bordeleau C5S 79 MA 85 is determined to earn an Olympic gold medal in running game target shooting - no matter how long it takes

It may take a long time Im a late bloomer but I figure I have another 20 years to try Age is not a big problem in my sport and at least J didnt have to sacrifice my childhood to get where I am today says the 30-yearmiddotold political science graduate

Running game target requires the shooter using a 22-caJibre rifle to hit a wild pig moving on a 10-metre rail at 72 mph 144 mph or mixed speed middot from a distance of 50 metres There are many different versions of the sport but the Olympic discipline consists of 30 shots at the slower speed (slow runs ) and 30 at the faster speed ( fast runs)

Andre Bordeleau CSS 79 MA 85 is aimingfor O~yrnpic gold in running game target shooting

The CSSAlumniAssociation cut a cake during Alumni Weekend to celebrate its 10th anniversary Taking part were lef t to right Sandra Couch and Barbara Chance board directorsjohn Aviano newpresident and his wife Inara and facui~y advisor Victor Ujim

Andre became captivated by the sport of shooting when he had a job as an offi cial d river at the L976 Olympics in Montreal

Like most French-Canadian boys I wanted to p lay hockey for the Montreal Canadiens I have the size - 6-feet-l and 215 pounds - bUl there is a problem I cant skate Something to do with small curvatures in my spine nothing serious but enough to throw out my balance So since I couldnt be a professional hockey player I decided to become an Olympic amateur athlete

In pursuit of his goal Andre left his home in Montreal to study at the

niversity of Guelph in 1976 I wanted to srudy some place like Ontario where I could become bishylingual and Guelph was one of only three universities in the province with a rifle range he explains The University of Guelph Rifle Team won three Ontario championships from 1979-81

Andre started out on the Universitys rifle team shooting at stationary tarmiddot gets bu t decided to concentrate on running gan1e because it is more suited to his hyperactive personality He went to the Canadian championships in 1977 and placed ninth At a national competition in 1981 he set two Canadian records one of which stood for three years In 1984 he won the provincial championships and set a provincial record which still stands Also in 1984 he was invited to the Olympic trials and despite sustaining a concussion in a car accident on the first day of shooting he placed third Unfortunately only the first and second place winners qualified for the Olympics

In 1986 Andre went to his first international match the World Championships in East Gemlany He shot below his average and placed 46th in the 10 metre air rifle event an indoor scaled-down version ofmnning game target

1 was disappointed but I learned a lot Before I went [wasnt ranked in

24

the world at all At least now Im ranked he says

Undaunted he is currently training for the 1988 Olympics with national running game target team coach Dick Esseltine of Peterborough and he tries to practise at the Guelph rifle range eve1 day

Running game target shooting re shyquires concentration physica l stamina eye-band co-ordination and balance But staying in financial shape is a bigger challenge for Andre than staying physically fit Unable to find a job relating to his degrees he works as a night supervisor at Stonehenge a drug rehabilitation ce ntre near Guelph While he meets his liing expenses he is struggling to pay back stude nt loans and keep up with expenses incurred as an amateur athlete

Although he estimates he has dug a 860000 hole since making the move to Guelph and devoting himself to shootinghe has no regrets He says Guelph has been a good experience culturally and linguistically He views it as the place where he started a rich amateur career and as he plods on toward Olympic gold he takes satisshyfaction in his many smaller accomshyplishments

I believe in pursuing excellence Ive set the ultimate goal ( OLympic gold) and Im going to do my best to achieve it

INDUSTRIAL ORGAN IZA TIONAL

PSYCHOLOGY MEETS GROWING DEMAND

Ahigh demand for industrial psychoshylogists in Canada has led the Departshyment of Psychology to introduce a new graduate option

I ndllstriallOrganizaliorudPsychoshylogy is being added to the masters program for specialized training which could lead to work in personncl management job dcsign and analysis organizational consulting or health and safety in the workplace

The demand for industriaL PSTchoshylogists has been brought about by rapidly changing technology business growth and legislation in the areas of workplace safety human rights equal pay amI equal employment opportuni shyties Because there are few structured graduate programs in Canada to meet this need industrial psychologists have receiytd their training in the US Othe rs have trained themselves on the job

Steven Cranshaw who earned his PhD in industrial organizational

psychology at the University ofAkron is developing the new program at Guelph He was formerly at thc Univershysity of Waterloo and is currently chairman of the industrialorganizashytional section of the Canadian Psychoshylogical Association

The department is also pursuing a joint PhD program in industrial organizational psychology with the University of Waterloo It will offer training to the highest professionaJ standards in orth America

Dr Cranshawsays a 198687 survey done by Canada Employment and Immigration lists industrial organil3shytional psychology as an area of high job demand in the near future As graduates of the Guelph program become finnly established in the work force it will become readily apparent that this University is pLaying a major ro le in improving the quality of working life

WHATS NEW IN THE DEPARTMENTS POLITICAL STUDIES In September the department will introduce a dis shytance education diploma program in Public Policy and Administrat ion taught by Professor Richard Phidd The comprehensive program conshysisting of 10 courses at the undershygraduate level will provide an inte llectuaJ component to the workshyplace experiences of profeSSionals Distance education makes the depart shyments programs and courses more widely available to people in the work force ECONOMICS Professor Louis

Christofides is the new department chairman A major change which will take place LInder his direction is the establishment of a PhD program in resource and environmental econo shymics Professor Christofidcs aJso plans to oversee a review of the undershygraduate program He says the review will determine whether an approshypriate core course sequence is in place and whether the curriculum can be improved More spacc and the recmitment of quality facu lty and graduate students are also among his goals

GEOGRAPHY The birth ofProfessor Barry Smits daughter March 3 had some frantic moments Hanna was born in the family car as the harried father-to-be sped through the night to Guelph General Hospital She was dubbed Speedy Smit by the hospital staff and is a sister for two-year-old Emily Mother Ruth Ann and the baby came through the experience none the worse for wear but Professor Smit m ust have been glad to get back to the old routine of classes and lectures At least theyre fairly predictable

Discussion focused on intermediate and long-term plans of HAFA faculty The task force supports curriculum revisions designed to strengthen the nutrit ion and b iological science components of the IFM major The program prepares graduates for intern shyships as adn inistrative dietitians although some graduates choose to follow careers in institutional food middot service outside dietetics

The task force al so support s graduate training in administration for dietetic professionals There is a need for such a progran1 among therashypeutic dietitians seeking to shift their field of practice [Q administration and among administrative dietitians who wish to improve their qualifi shycations The task force also feels that a masters degree would be an appro shypriate alternat ive to a dietetic internship

CSS GRAD AIMS FOR OLYMPIC GOLD Andre Bordeleau C5S 79 MA 85 is determined to earn an Olympic gold medal in running game target shooting - no matter how long it takes

It may take a long time Im a late bloomer but I figure I have another 20 years to try Age is not a big problem in my sport and at least J didnt have to sacrifice my childhood to get where I am today says the 30-yearmiddotold political science graduate

Running game target requires the shooter using a 22-caJibre rifle to hit a wild pig moving on a 10-metre rail at 72 mph 144 mph or mixed speed middot from a distance of 50 metres There are many different versions of the sport but the Olympic discipline consists of 30 shots at the slower speed (slow runs ) and 30 at the faster speed ( fast runs)

Andre Bordeleau CSS 79 MA 85 is aimingfor O~yrnpic gold in running game target shooting

The CSSAlumniAssociation cut a cake during Alumni Weekend to celebrate its 10th anniversary Taking part were lef t to right Sandra Couch and Barbara Chance board directorsjohn Aviano newpresident and his wife Inara and facui~y advisor Victor Ujim

Andre became captivated by the sport of shooting when he had a job as an offi cial d river at the L976 Olympics in Montreal

Like most French-Canadian boys I wanted to p lay hockey for the Montreal Canadiens I have the size - 6-feet-l and 215 pounds - bUl there is a problem I cant skate Something to do with small curvatures in my spine nothing serious but enough to throw out my balance So since I couldnt be a professional hockey player I decided to become an Olympic amateur athlete

In pursuit of his goal Andre left his home in Montreal to study at the

niversity of Guelph in 1976 I wanted to srudy some place like Ontario where I could become bishylingual and Guelph was one of only three universities in the province with a rifle range he explains The University of Guelph Rifle Team won three Ontario championships from 1979-81

Andre started out on the Universitys rifle team shooting at stationary tarmiddot gets bu t decided to concentrate on running gan1e because it is more suited to his hyperactive personality He went to the Canadian championships in 1977 and placed ninth At a national competition in 1981 he set two Canadian records one of which stood for three years In 1984 he won the provincial championships and set a provincial record which still stands Also in 1984 he was invited to the Olympic trials and despite sustaining a concussion in a car accident on the first day of shooting he placed third Unfortunately only the first and second place winners qualified for the Olympics

In 1986 Andre went to his first international match the World Championships in East Gemlany He shot below his average and placed 46th in the 10 metre air rifle event an indoor scaled-down version ofmnning game target

1 was disappointed but I learned a lot Before I went [wasnt ranked in

24

the world at all At least now Im ranked he says

Undaunted he is currently training for the 1988 Olympics with national running game target team coach Dick Esseltine of Peterborough and he tries to practise at the Guelph rifle range eve1 day

Running game target shooting re shyquires concentration physica l stamina eye-band co-ordination and balance But staying in financial shape is a bigger challenge for Andre than staying physically fit Unable to find a job relating to his degrees he works as a night supervisor at Stonehenge a drug rehabilitation ce ntre near Guelph While he meets his liing expenses he is struggling to pay back stude nt loans and keep up with expenses incurred as an amateur athlete

Although he estimates he has dug a 860000 hole since making the move to Guelph and devoting himself to shootinghe has no regrets He says Guelph has been a good experience culturally and linguistically He views it as the place where he started a rich amateur career and as he plods on toward Olympic gold he takes satisshyfaction in his many smaller accomshyplishments

I believe in pursuing excellence Ive set the ultimate goal ( OLympic gold) and Im going to do my best to achieve it

INDUSTRIAL ORGAN IZA TIONAL

PSYCHOLOGY MEETS GROWING DEMAND

Ahigh demand for industrial psychoshylogists in Canada has led the Departshyment of Psychology to introduce a new graduate option

I ndllstriallOrganizaliorudPsychoshylogy is being added to the masters program for specialized training which could lead to work in personncl management job dcsign and analysis organizational consulting or health and safety in the workplace

The demand for industriaL PSTchoshylogists has been brought about by rapidly changing technology business growth and legislation in the areas of workplace safety human rights equal pay amI equal employment opportuni shyties Because there are few structured graduate programs in Canada to meet this need industrial psychologists have receiytd their training in the US Othe rs have trained themselves on the job

Steven Cranshaw who earned his PhD in industrial organizational

psychology at the University ofAkron is developing the new program at Guelph He was formerly at thc Univershysity of Waterloo and is currently chairman of the industrialorganizashytional section of the Canadian Psychoshylogical Association

The department is also pursuing a joint PhD program in industrial organizational psychology with the University of Waterloo It will offer training to the highest professionaJ standards in orth America

Dr Cranshawsays a 198687 survey done by Canada Employment and Immigration lists industrial organil3shytional psychology as an area of high job demand in the near future As graduates of the Guelph program become finnly established in the work force it will become readily apparent that this University is pLaying a major ro le in improving the quality of working life

WHATS NEW IN THE DEPARTMENTS POLITICAL STUDIES In September the department will introduce a dis shytance education diploma program in Public Policy and Administrat ion taught by Professor Richard Phidd The comprehensive program conshysisting of 10 courses at the undershygraduate level will provide an inte llectuaJ component to the workshyplace experiences of profeSSionals Distance education makes the depart shyments programs and courses more widely available to people in the work force ECONOMICS Professor Louis

Christofides is the new department chairman A major change which will take place LInder his direction is the establishment of a PhD program in resource and environmental econo shymics Professor Christofidcs aJso plans to oversee a review of the undershygraduate program He says the review will determine whether an approshypriate core course sequence is in place and whether the curriculum can be improved More spacc and the recmitment of quality facu lty and graduate students are also among his goals

GEOGRAPHY The birth ofProfessor Barry Smits daughter March 3 had some frantic moments Hanna was born in the family car as the harried father-to-be sped through the night to Guelph General Hospital She was dubbed Speedy Smit by the hospital staff and is a sister for two-year-old Emily Mother Ruth Ann and the baby came through the experience none the worse for wear but Professor Smit m ust have been glad to get back to the old routine of classes and lectures At least theyre fairly predictable

CSS GRAD AIMS FOR OLYMPIC GOLD Andre Bordeleau C5S 79 MA 85 is determined to earn an Olympic gold medal in running game target shooting - no matter how long it takes

It may take a long time Im a late bloomer but I figure I have another 20 years to try Age is not a big problem in my sport and at least J didnt have to sacrifice my childhood to get where I am today says the 30-yearmiddotold political science graduate

Running game target requires the shooter using a 22-caJibre rifle to hit a wild pig moving on a 10-metre rail at 72 mph 144 mph or mixed speed middot from a distance of 50 metres There are many different versions of the sport but the Olympic discipline consists of 30 shots at the slower speed (slow runs ) and 30 at the faster speed ( fast runs)

Andre Bordeleau CSS 79 MA 85 is aimingfor O~yrnpic gold in running game target shooting

The CSSAlumniAssociation cut a cake during Alumni Weekend to celebrate its 10th anniversary Taking part were lef t to right Sandra Couch and Barbara Chance board directorsjohn Aviano newpresident and his wife Inara and facui~y advisor Victor Ujim

Andre became captivated by the sport of shooting when he had a job as an offi cial d river at the L976 Olympics in Montreal

Like most French-Canadian boys I wanted to p lay hockey for the Montreal Canadiens I have the size - 6-feet-l and 215 pounds - bUl there is a problem I cant skate Something to do with small curvatures in my spine nothing serious but enough to throw out my balance So since I couldnt be a professional hockey player I decided to become an Olympic amateur athlete

In pursuit of his goal Andre left his home in Montreal to study at the

niversity of Guelph in 1976 I wanted to srudy some place like Ontario where I could become bishylingual and Guelph was one of only three universities in the province with a rifle range he explains The University of Guelph Rifle Team won three Ontario championships from 1979-81

Andre started out on the Universitys rifle team shooting at stationary tarmiddot gets bu t decided to concentrate on running gan1e because it is more suited to his hyperactive personality He went to the Canadian championships in 1977 and placed ninth At a national competition in 1981 he set two Canadian records one of which stood for three years In 1984 he won the provincial championships and set a provincial record which still stands Also in 1984 he was invited to the Olympic trials and despite sustaining a concussion in a car accident on the first day of shooting he placed third Unfortunately only the first and second place winners qualified for the Olympics

In 1986 Andre went to his first international match the World Championships in East Gemlany He shot below his average and placed 46th in the 10 metre air rifle event an indoor scaled-down version ofmnning game target

1 was disappointed but I learned a lot Before I went [wasnt ranked in

24

the world at all At least now Im ranked he says

Undaunted he is currently training for the 1988 Olympics with national running game target team coach Dick Esseltine of Peterborough and he tries to practise at the Guelph rifle range eve1 day

Running game target shooting re shyquires concentration physica l stamina eye-band co-ordination and balance But staying in financial shape is a bigger challenge for Andre than staying physically fit Unable to find a job relating to his degrees he works as a night supervisor at Stonehenge a drug rehabilitation ce ntre near Guelph While he meets his liing expenses he is struggling to pay back stude nt loans and keep up with expenses incurred as an amateur athlete

Although he estimates he has dug a 860000 hole since making the move to Guelph and devoting himself to shootinghe has no regrets He says Guelph has been a good experience culturally and linguistically He views it as the place where he started a rich amateur career and as he plods on toward Olympic gold he takes satisshyfaction in his many smaller accomshyplishments

I believe in pursuing excellence Ive set the ultimate goal ( OLympic gold) and Im going to do my best to achieve it

INDUSTRIAL ORGAN IZA TIONAL

PSYCHOLOGY MEETS GROWING DEMAND

Ahigh demand for industrial psychoshylogists in Canada has led the Departshyment of Psychology to introduce a new graduate option

I ndllstriallOrganizaliorudPsychoshylogy is being added to the masters program for specialized training which could lead to work in personncl management job dcsign and analysis organizational consulting or health and safety in the workplace

The demand for industriaL PSTchoshylogists has been brought about by rapidly changing technology business growth and legislation in the areas of workplace safety human rights equal pay amI equal employment opportuni shyties Because there are few structured graduate programs in Canada to meet this need industrial psychologists have receiytd their training in the US Othe rs have trained themselves on the job

Steven Cranshaw who earned his PhD in industrial organizational

psychology at the University ofAkron is developing the new program at Guelph He was formerly at thc Univershysity of Waterloo and is currently chairman of the industrialorganizashytional section of the Canadian Psychoshylogical Association

The department is also pursuing a joint PhD program in industrial organizational psychology with the University of Waterloo It will offer training to the highest professionaJ standards in orth America

Dr Cranshawsays a 198687 survey done by Canada Employment and Immigration lists industrial organil3shytional psychology as an area of high job demand in the near future As graduates of the Guelph program become finnly established in the work force it will become readily apparent that this University is pLaying a major ro le in improving the quality of working life

WHATS NEW IN THE DEPARTMENTS POLITICAL STUDIES In September the department will introduce a dis shytance education diploma program in Public Policy and Administrat ion taught by Professor Richard Phidd The comprehensive program conshysisting of 10 courses at the undershygraduate level will provide an inte llectuaJ component to the workshyplace experiences of profeSSionals Distance education makes the depart shyments programs and courses more widely available to people in the work force ECONOMICS Professor Louis

Christofides is the new department chairman A major change which will take place LInder his direction is the establishment of a PhD program in resource and environmental econo shymics Professor Christofidcs aJso plans to oversee a review of the undershygraduate program He says the review will determine whether an approshypriate core course sequence is in place and whether the curriculum can be improved More spacc and the recmitment of quality facu lty and graduate students are also among his goals

GEOGRAPHY The birth ofProfessor Barry Smits daughter March 3 had some frantic moments Hanna was born in the family car as the harried father-to-be sped through the night to Guelph General Hospital She was dubbed Speedy Smit by the hospital staff and is a sister for two-year-old Emily Mother Ruth Ann and the baby came through the experience none the worse for wear but Professor Smit m ust have been glad to get back to the old routine of classes and lectures At least theyre fairly predictable

INDUSTRY TASK FORCE REVIEWS IFM PROGRAM

A task force representing senior levels of the dietetic profession and institutional foodservice management met on campus earlier this year to advise the School of Hotel and Food Administration ( HAFA ) about the development of its Institutional Foodshyservice Management Program ( IFM ) The task force convened by FACS Dean Richard Barham is part ofHAFAs review of the IFM program one of two majors offered in the Bachelor of Commerce honors program

Included on the task force are the preside n t and executive vic e shypresident of Canadas two largest institutional foodservice management firms as well as the vice-president of the countrys largest nursing home chain

Discussion focused on intermediate and long-term plans of HAFA faculty The task force supports curriculum revisions designed to strengthen the nutrit ion and b iological science components of the IFM major The program prepares graduates for intern shyships as adn inistrative dietitians although some graduates choose to follow careers in institutional food middot service outside dietetics

The task force al so support s graduate training in administration for dietetic professionals There is a need for such a progran1 among therashypeutic dietitians seeking to shift their field of practice [Q administration and among administrative dietitians who wish to improve their qualifi shycations The task force also feels that a masters degree would be an appro shypriate alternat ive to a dietetic internship

The task force discussed the need for programs of continuing pro shyfessional education It supports proposals to develop more courses in continuing education as it relates [Q

administrative dietetics

Members of the task force agreed to continue to serve as a resource group to HAFAs IFM programs

It may take a long time Im a late bloomer but I figure I have another 20 years to try Age is not a big problem in my sport and at least J didnt have to sacrifice my childhood to get where I am today says the 30-yearmiddotold political science graduate

Running game target requires the shooter using a 22-caJibre rifle to hit a wild pig moving on a 10-metre rail at 72 mph 144 mph or mixed speed middot from a distance of 50 metres There are many different versions of the sport but the Olympic discipline consists of 30 shots at the slower speed (slow runs ) and 30 at the faster speed ( fast runs)

Andre Bordeleau CSS 79 MA 85 is aimingfor O~yrnpic gold in running game target shooting

The CSSAlumniAssociation cut a cake during Alumni Weekend to celebrate its 10th anniversary Taking part were lef t to right Sandra Couch and Barbara Chance board directorsjohn Aviano newpresident and his wife Inara and facui~y advisor Victor Ujim

Andre became captivated by the sport of shooting when he had a job as an offi cial d river at the L976 Olympics in Montreal

Like most French-Canadian boys I wanted to p lay hockey for the Montreal Canadiens I have the size - 6-feet-l and 215 pounds - bUl there is a problem I cant skate Something to do with small curvatures in my spine nothing serious but enough to throw out my balance So since I couldnt be a professional hockey player I decided to become an Olympic amateur athlete

In pursuit of his goal Andre left his home in Montreal to study at the

niversity of Guelph in 1976 I wanted to srudy some place like Ontario where I could become bishylingual and Guelph was one of only three universities in the province with a rifle range he explains The University of Guelph Rifle Team won three Ontario championships from 1979-81

Andre started out on the Universitys rifle team shooting at stationary tarmiddot gets bu t decided to concentrate on running gan1e because it is more suited to his hyperactive personality He went to the Canadian championships in 1977 and placed ninth At a national competition in 1981 he set two Canadian records one of which stood for three years In 1984 he won the provincial championships and set a provincial record which still stands Also in 1984 he was invited to the Olympic trials and despite sustaining a concussion in a car accident on the first day of shooting he placed third Unfortunately only the first and second place winners qualified for the Olympics

In 1986 Andre went to his first international match the World Championships in East Gemlany He shot below his average and placed 46th in the 10 metre air rifle event an indoor scaled-down version ofmnning game target

1 was disappointed but I learned a lot Before I went [wasnt ranked in

24

the world at all At least now Im ranked he says

Undaunted he is currently training for the 1988 Olympics with national running game target team coach Dick Esseltine of Peterborough and he tries to practise at the Guelph rifle range eve1 day

Running game target shooting re shyquires concentration physica l stamina eye-band co-ordination and balance But staying in financial shape is a bigger challenge for Andre than staying physically fit Unable to find a job relating to his degrees he works as a night supervisor at Stonehenge a drug rehabilitation ce ntre near Guelph While he meets his liing expenses he is struggling to pay back stude nt loans and keep up with expenses incurred as an amateur athlete

Although he estimates he has dug a 860000 hole since making the move to Guelph and devoting himself to shootinghe has no regrets He says Guelph has been a good experience culturally and linguistically He views it as the place where he started a rich amateur career and as he plods on toward Olympic gold he takes satisshyfaction in his many smaller accomshyplishments

I believe in pursuing excellence Ive set the ultimate goal ( OLympic gold) and Im going to do my best to achieve it

INDUSTRIAL ORGAN IZA TIONAL

PSYCHOLOGY MEETS GROWING DEMAND

Ahigh demand for industrial psychoshylogists in Canada has led the Departshyment of Psychology to introduce a new graduate option

I ndllstriallOrganizaliorudPsychoshylogy is being added to the masters program for specialized training which could lead to work in personncl management job dcsign and analysis organizational consulting or health and safety in the workplace

The demand for industriaL PSTchoshylogists has been brought about by rapidly changing technology business growth and legislation in the areas of workplace safety human rights equal pay amI equal employment opportuni shyties Because there are few structured graduate programs in Canada to meet this need industrial psychologists have receiytd their training in the US Othe rs have trained themselves on the job

Steven Cranshaw who earned his PhD in industrial organizational

psychology at the University ofAkron is developing the new program at Guelph He was formerly at thc Univershysity of Waterloo and is currently chairman of the industrialorganizashytional section of the Canadian Psychoshylogical Association

The department is also pursuing a joint PhD program in industrial organizational psychology with the University of Waterloo It will offer training to the highest professionaJ standards in orth America

Dr Cranshawsays a 198687 survey done by Canada Employment and Immigration lists industrial organil3shytional psychology as an area of high job demand in the near future As graduates of the Guelph program become finnly established in the work force it will become readily apparent that this University is pLaying a major ro le in improving the quality of working life

WHATS NEW IN THE DEPARTMENTS POLITICAL STUDIES In September the department will introduce a dis shytance education diploma program in Public Policy and Administrat ion taught by Professor Richard Phidd The comprehensive program conshysisting of 10 courses at the undershygraduate level will provide an inte llectuaJ component to the workshyplace experiences of profeSSionals Distance education makes the depart shyments programs and courses more widely available to people in the work force ECONOMICS Professor Louis

Christofides is the new department chairman A major change which will take place LInder his direction is the establishment of a PhD program in resource and environmental econo shymics Professor Christofidcs aJso plans to oversee a review of the undershygraduate program He says the review will determine whether an approshypriate core course sequence is in place and whether the curriculum can be improved More spacc and the recmitment of quality facu lty and graduate students are also among his goals

GEOGRAPHY The birth ofProfessor Barry Smits daughter March 3 had some frantic moments Hanna was born in the family car as the harried father-to-be sped through the night to Guelph General Hospital She was dubbed Speedy Smit by the hospital staff and is a sister for two-year-old Emily Mother Ruth Ann and the baby came through the experience none the worse for wear but Professor Smit m ust have been glad to get back to the old routine of classes and lectures At least theyre fairly predictable

A task force representing senior levels of the dietetic profession and institutional foodservice management met on campus earlier this year to advise the School of Hotel and Food Administration ( HAFA ) about the development of its Institutional Foodshyservice Management Program ( IFM ) The task force convened by FACS Dean Richard Barham is part ofHAFAs review of the IFM program one of two majors offered in the Bachelor of Commerce honors program

Included on the task force are the preside n t and executive vic e shypresident of Canadas two largest institutional foodservice management firms as well as the vice-president of the countrys largest nursing home chain

Discussion focused on intermediate and long-term plans of HAFA faculty The task force supports curriculum revisions designed to strengthen the nutrit ion and b iological science components of the IFM major The program prepares graduates for intern shyships as adn inistrative dietitians although some graduates choose to follow careers in institutional food middot service outside dietetics

The task force al so support s graduate training in administration for dietetic professionals There is a need for such a progran1 among therashypeutic dietitians seeking to shift their field of practice [Q administration and among administrative dietitians who wish to improve their qualifi shycations The task force also feels that a masters degree would be an appro shypriate alternat ive to a dietetic internship

The task force discussed the need for programs of continuing pro shyfessional education It supports proposals to develop more courses in continuing education as it relates [Q

CSS GRAD AIMS FOR OLYMPIC GOLD Andre Bordeleau C5S 79 MA 85 is determined to earn an Olympic gold medal in running game target shooting - no matter how long it takes

It may take a long time Im a late bloomer but I figure I have another 20 years to try Age is not a big problem in my sport and at least J didnt have to sacrifice my childhood to get where I am today says the 30-yearmiddotold political science graduate

Running game target requires the shooter using a 22-caJibre rifle to hit a wild pig moving on a 10-metre rail at 72 mph 144 mph or mixed speed middot from a distance of 50 metres There are many different versions of the sport but the Olympic discipline consists of 30 shots at the slower speed (slow runs ) and 30 at the faster speed ( fast runs)

Andre Bordeleau CSS 79 MA 85 is aimingfor O~yrnpic gold in running game target shooting

The CSSAlumniAssociation cut a cake during Alumni Weekend to celebrate its 10th anniversary Taking part were lef t to right Sandra Couch and Barbara Chance board directorsjohn Aviano newpresident and his wife Inara and facui~y advisor Victor Ujim

Andre became captivated by the sport of shooting when he had a job as an offi cial d river at the L976 Olympics in Montreal

Like most French-Canadian boys I wanted to p lay hockey for the Montreal Canadiens I have the size - 6-feet-l and 215 pounds - bUl there is a problem I cant skate Something to do with small curvatures in my spine nothing serious but enough to throw out my balance So since I couldnt be a professional hockey player I decided to become an Olympic amateur athlete

In pursuit of his goal Andre left his home in Montreal to study at the

niversity of Guelph in 1976 I wanted to srudy some place like Ontario where I could become bishylingual and Guelph was one of only three universities in the province with a rifle range he explains The University of Guelph Rifle Team won three Ontario championships from 1979-81

Andre started out on the Universitys rifle team shooting at stationary tarmiddot gets bu t decided to concentrate on running gan1e because it is more suited to his hyperactive personality He went to the Canadian championships in 1977 and placed ninth At a national competition in 1981 he set two Canadian records one of which stood for three years In 1984 he won the provincial championships and set a provincial record which still stands Also in 1984 he was invited to the Olympic trials and despite sustaining a concussion in a car accident on the first day of shooting he placed third Unfortunately only the first and second place winners qualified for the Olympics

In 1986 Andre went to his first international match the World Championships in East Gemlany He shot below his average and placed 46th in the 10 metre air rifle event an indoor scaled-down version ofmnning game target

1 was disappointed but I learned a lot Before I went [wasnt ranked in

24

the world at all At least now Im ranked he says

Undaunted he is currently training for the 1988 Olympics with national running game target team coach Dick Esseltine of Peterborough and he tries to practise at the Guelph rifle range eve1 day

Running game target shooting re shyquires concentration physica l stamina eye-band co-ordination and balance But staying in financial shape is a bigger challenge for Andre than staying physically fit Unable to find a job relating to his degrees he works as a night supervisor at Stonehenge a drug rehabilitation ce ntre near Guelph While he meets his liing expenses he is struggling to pay back stude nt loans and keep up with expenses incurred as an amateur athlete

Although he estimates he has dug a 860000 hole since making the move to Guelph and devoting himself to shootinghe has no regrets He says Guelph has been a good experience culturally and linguistically He views it as the place where he started a rich amateur career and as he plods on toward Olympic gold he takes satisshyfaction in his many smaller accomshyplishments

I believe in pursuing excellence Ive set the ultimate goal ( OLympic gold) and Im going to do my best to achieve it

INDUSTRIAL ORGAN IZA TIONAL

PSYCHOLOGY MEETS GROWING DEMAND

Ahigh demand for industrial psychoshylogists in Canada has led the Departshyment of Psychology to introduce a new graduate option

I ndllstriallOrganizaliorudPsychoshylogy is being added to the masters program for specialized training which could lead to work in personncl management job dcsign and analysis organizational consulting or health and safety in the workplace

The demand for industriaL PSTchoshylogists has been brought about by rapidly changing technology business growth and legislation in the areas of workplace safety human rights equal pay amI equal employment opportuni shyties Because there are few structured graduate programs in Canada to meet this need industrial psychologists have receiytd their training in the US Othe rs have trained themselves on the job

Steven Cranshaw who earned his PhD in industrial organizational

psychology at the University ofAkron is developing the new program at Guelph He was formerly at thc Univershysity of Waterloo and is currently chairman of the industrialorganizashytional section of the Canadian Psychoshylogical Association

The department is also pursuing a joint PhD program in industrial organizational psychology with the University of Waterloo It will offer training to the highest professionaJ standards in orth America

Dr Cranshawsays a 198687 survey done by Canada Employment and Immigration lists industrial organil3shytional psychology as an area of high job demand in the near future As graduates of the Guelph program become finnly established in the work force it will become readily apparent that this University is pLaying a major ro le in improving the quality of working life

WHATS NEW IN THE DEPARTMENTS POLITICAL STUDIES In September the department will introduce a dis shytance education diploma program in Public Policy and Administrat ion taught by Professor Richard Phidd The comprehensive program conshysisting of 10 courses at the undershygraduate level will provide an inte llectuaJ component to the workshyplace experiences of profeSSionals Distance education makes the depart shyments programs and courses more widely available to people in the work force ECONOMICS Professor Louis

Christofides is the new department chairman A major change which will take place LInder his direction is the establishment of a PhD program in resource and environmental econo shymics Professor Christofidcs aJso plans to oversee a review of the undershygraduate program He says the review will determine whether an approshypriate core course sequence is in place and whether the curriculum can be improved More spacc and the recmitment of quality facu lty and graduate students are also among his goals

GEOGRAPHY The birth ofProfessor Barry Smits daughter March 3 had some frantic moments Hanna was born in the family car as the harried father-to-be sped through the night to Guelph General Hospital She was dubbed Speedy Smit by the hospital staff and is a sister for two-year-old Emily Mother Ruth Ann and the baby came through the experience none the worse for wear but Professor Smit m ust have been glad to get back to the old routine of classes and lectures At least theyre fairly predictable

CSS GRAD AIMS FOR OLYMPIC GOLD Andre Bordeleau C5S 79 MA 85 is determined to earn an Olympic gold medal in running game target shooting - no matter how long it takes

It may take a long time Im a late bloomer but I figure I have another 20 years to try Age is not a big problem in my sport and at least J didnt have to sacrifice my childhood to get where I am today says the 30-yearmiddotold political science graduate

Running game target requires the shooter using a 22-caJibre rifle to hit a wild pig moving on a 10-metre rail at 72 mph 144 mph or mixed speed middot from a distance of 50 metres There are many different versions of the sport but the Olympic discipline consists of 30 shots at the slower speed (slow runs ) and 30 at the faster speed ( fast runs)

Andre Bordeleau CSS 79 MA 85 is aimingfor O~yrnpic gold in running game target shooting

The CSSAlumniAssociation cut a cake during Alumni Weekend to celebrate its 10th anniversary Taking part were lef t to right Sandra Couch and Barbara Chance board directorsjohn Aviano newpresident and his wife Inara and facui~y advisor Victor Ujim

Andre became captivated by the sport of shooting when he had a job as an offi cial d river at the L976 Olympics in Montreal

Like most French-Canadian boys I wanted to p lay hockey for the Montreal Canadiens I have the size - 6-feet-l and 215 pounds - bUl there is a problem I cant skate Something to do with small curvatures in my spine nothing serious but enough to throw out my balance So since I couldnt be a professional hockey player I decided to become an Olympic amateur athlete

In pursuit of his goal Andre left his home in Montreal to study at the

niversity of Guelph in 1976 I wanted to srudy some place like Ontario where I could become bishylingual and Guelph was one of only three universities in the province with a rifle range he explains The University of Guelph Rifle Team won three Ontario championships from 1979-81

Andre started out on the Universitys rifle team shooting at stationary tarmiddot gets bu t decided to concentrate on running gan1e because it is more suited to his hyperactive personality He went to the Canadian championships in 1977 and placed ninth At a national competition in 1981 he set two Canadian records one of which stood for three years In 1984 he won the provincial championships and set a provincial record which still stands Also in 1984 he was invited to the Olympic trials and despite sustaining a concussion in a car accident on the first day of shooting he placed third Unfortunately only the first and second place winners qualified for the Olympics

In 1986 Andre went to his first international match the World Championships in East Gemlany He shot below his average and placed 46th in the 10 metre air rifle event an indoor scaled-down version ofmnning game target

1 was disappointed but I learned a lot Before I went [wasnt ranked in

24

the world at all At least now Im ranked he says

Undaunted he is currently training for the 1988 Olympics with national running game target team coach Dick Esseltine of Peterborough and he tries to practise at the Guelph rifle range eve1 day

Running game target shooting re shyquires concentration physica l stamina eye-band co-ordination and balance But staying in financial shape is a bigger challenge for Andre than staying physically fit Unable to find a job relating to his degrees he works as a night supervisor at Stonehenge a drug rehabilitation ce ntre near Guelph While he meets his liing expenses he is struggling to pay back stude nt loans and keep up with expenses incurred as an amateur athlete

Although he estimates he has dug a 860000 hole since making the move to Guelph and devoting himself to shootinghe has no regrets He says Guelph has been a good experience culturally and linguistically He views it as the place where he started a rich amateur career and as he plods on toward Olympic gold he takes satisshyfaction in his many smaller accomshyplishments

I believe in pursuing excellence Ive set the ultimate goal ( OLympic gold) and Im going to do my best to achieve it

INDUSTRIAL ORGAN IZA TIONAL

PSYCHOLOGY MEETS GROWING DEMAND

Ahigh demand for industrial psychoshylogists in Canada has led the Departshyment of Psychology to introduce a new graduate option

I ndllstriallOrganizaliorudPsychoshylogy is being added to the masters program for specialized training which could lead to work in personncl management job dcsign and analysis organizational consulting or health and safety in the workplace

The demand for industriaL PSTchoshylogists has been brought about by rapidly changing technology business growth and legislation in the areas of workplace safety human rights equal pay amI equal employment opportuni shyties Because there are few structured graduate programs in Canada to meet this need industrial psychologists have receiytd their training in the US Othe rs have trained themselves on the job

Steven Cranshaw who earned his PhD in industrial organizational

psychology at the University ofAkron is developing the new program at Guelph He was formerly at thc Univershysity of Waterloo and is currently chairman of the industrialorganizashytional section of the Canadian Psychoshylogical Association

The department is also pursuing a joint PhD program in industrial organizational psychology with the University of Waterloo It will offer training to the highest professionaJ standards in orth America

Dr Cranshawsays a 198687 survey done by Canada Employment and Immigration lists industrial organil3shytional psychology as an area of high job demand in the near future As graduates of the Guelph program become finnly established in the work force it will become readily apparent that this University is pLaying a major ro le in improving the quality of working life

WHATS NEW IN THE DEPARTMENTS POLITICAL STUDIES In September the department will introduce a dis shytance education diploma program in Public Policy and Administrat ion taught by Professor Richard Phidd The comprehensive program conshysisting of 10 courses at the undershygraduate level will provide an inte llectuaJ component to the workshyplace experiences of profeSSionals Distance education makes the depart shyments programs and courses more widely available to people in the work force ECONOMICS Professor Louis

Christofides is the new department chairman A major change which will take place LInder his direction is the establishment of a PhD program in resource and environmental econo shymics Professor Christofidcs aJso plans to oversee a review of the undershygraduate program He says the review will determine whether an approshypriate core course sequence is in place and whether the curriculum can be improved More spacc and the recmitment of quality facu lty and graduate students are also among his goals

GEOGRAPHY The birth ofProfessor Barry Smits daughter March 3 had some frantic moments Hanna was born in the family car as the harried father-to-be sped through the night to Guelph General Hospital She was dubbed Speedy Smit by the hospital staff and is a sister for two-year-old Emily Mother Ruth Ann and the baby came through the experience none the worse for wear but Professor Smit m ust have been glad to get back to the old routine of classes and lectures At least theyre fairly predictable

the world at all At least now Im ranked he says

Undaunted he is currently training for the 1988 Olympics with national running game target team coach Dick Esseltine of Peterborough and he tries to practise at the Guelph rifle range eve1 day

Running game target shooting re shyquires concentration physica l stamina eye-band co-ordination and balance But staying in financial shape is a bigger challenge for Andre than staying physically fit Unable to find a job relating to his degrees he works as a night supervisor at Stonehenge a drug rehabilitation ce ntre near Guelph While he meets his liing expenses he is struggling to pay back stude nt loans and keep up with expenses incurred as an amateur athlete

Although he estimates he has dug a 860000 hole since making the move to Guelph and devoting himself to shootinghe has no regrets He says Guelph has been a good experience culturally and linguistically He views it as the place where he started a rich amateur career and as he plods on toward Olympic gold he takes satisshyfaction in his many smaller accomshyplishments

I believe in pursuing excellence Ive set the ultimate goal ( OLympic gold) and Im going to do my best to achieve it

INDUSTRIAL ORGAN IZA TIONAL

PSYCHOLOGY MEETS GROWING DEMAND

Ahigh demand for industrial psychoshylogists in Canada has led the Departshyment of Psychology to introduce a new graduate option

I ndllstriallOrganizaliorudPsychoshylogy is being added to the masters program for specialized training which could lead to work in personncl management job dcsign and analysis organizational consulting or health and safety in the workplace

The demand for industriaL PSTchoshylogists has been brought about by rapidly changing technology business growth and legislation in the areas of workplace safety human rights equal pay amI equal employment opportuni shyties Because there are few structured graduate programs in Canada to meet this need industrial psychologists have receiytd their training in the US Othe rs have trained themselves on the job

Steven Cranshaw who earned his PhD in industrial organizational

psychology at the University ofAkron is developing the new program at Guelph He was formerly at thc Univershysity of Waterloo and is currently chairman of the industrialorganizashytional section of the Canadian Psychoshylogical Association

The department is also pursuing a joint PhD program in industrial organizational psychology with the University of Waterloo It will offer training to the highest professionaJ standards in orth America

Dr Cranshawsays a 198687 survey done by Canada Employment and Immigration lists industrial organil3shytional psychology as an area of high job demand in the near future As graduates of the Guelph program become finnly established in the work force it will become readily apparent that this University is pLaying a major ro le in improving the quality of working life

WHATS NEW IN THE DEPARTMENTS POLITICAL STUDIES In September the department will introduce a dis shytance education diploma program in Public Policy and Administrat ion taught by Professor Richard Phidd The comprehensive program conshysisting of 10 courses at the undershygraduate level will provide an inte llectuaJ component to the workshyplace experiences of profeSSionals Distance education makes the depart shyments programs and courses more widely available to people in the work force ECONOMICS Professor Louis

Christofides is the new department chairman A major change which will take place LInder his direction is the establishment of a PhD program in resource and environmental econo shymics Professor Christofidcs aJso plans to oversee a review of the undershygraduate program He says the review will determine whether an approshypriate core course sequence is in place and whether the curriculum can be improved More spacc and the recmitment of quality facu lty and graduate students are also among his goals

GEOGRAPHY The birth ofProfessor Barry Smits daughter March 3 had some frantic moments Hanna was born in the family car as the harried father-to-be sped through the night to Guelph General Hospital She was dubbed Speedy Smit by the hospital staff and is a sister for two-year-old Emily Mother Ruth Ann and the baby came through the experience none the worse for wear but Professor Smit m ust have been glad to get back to the old routine of classes and lectures At least theyre fairly predictable
