DearIW,Glossy propaganda material and meaningless co-operative placement andfuture salary statistics do not an undergraduate engineering program make, or sothe saying should go. The engineering program isone of the undergraduate programs of study onwhich the University of Waterloo has always prided itself. From the pages ofnumerous publications, to the suggestions of guidance counsellors everywhere,to third-hand recomm endations received by word of mouth, prospoctive engi

neers are met with one inescapable conclusion: If you want to be with the best,Water100 is the place to go.Myriads of exceptional overachievers swarm to UW every fall to join the ranksof the engineers. This seems to be a cyde which feeds off of itself; good peopleattend the school because it is good, but is good mostly because good peopleattend it Did you ever stop to wonder why this is so? Is there some quality to theuniversity which is responsible for this phenomenon, or is reputation simply one ofthose elusive and intangible qualities which float through the ether and randomlyattach themselves to unsuspecting instMions?One would assume that Waterloo has a higher proportion of faculty withdoctoral degrees, more research dollars available per capita, and innovativecurriculum and teaching practice ideas. Aside from the inconvenience of having

to laser print my MSCI261 course notes (using, of course, my own funds tofinance this practice) I have verified none of these assumptions. Undoubtedly it istoo early to judge.The lure of the oo-operative program plays a very key role in the enticement ofelitist future frosh. However, another factor which I believe significantly contributes to the attraction is the perception of the university as a veritable mecca ofhigh technology.Again, this perception can only justifiably be challenged by graduate students

at the top of the academic ladder who have had experiences with the limits of ourfaculty's facilities.As undergraduate, we all have a right to know what we are being offeredand how this measures up in comparison with engineering at otheracademic instMions.Most first-year engineers with whom I have spoken had neverreally heard of UNIX, much less had any desire to acquireaccess to it. The general consensus was one of apathy andignorance. This enraged me all the more, since I had come toWaterloo in the vain hopes that Iwould gain access to andexperience with hardware to which I would otherwise no havebeen exposed.After having used Watstar for a ittle more than a full term, there are

still many engineers who do not fully realize that we are being cheatedout of an academic computing s tandard.UNIX is an operating system with a very long and interesting history. t existsunder a great many m anifestations across a multitude of platforms. It is the opencomputing standard from Berkeley to Oslo, Tokyo to Melboume. And it iscustomary for universities to use UNIX systems in their academic networks.Familiarity with UNIX could very well be the deciding factor which would meritan interview with a possible employer. UNIX experience is invaluable andwhether you have aspirations in the field of computing, or would be much morecomfortable working with a soldering iron than with a mouse, you would be betteroff with it than without.Networks work much better with UNIX, which was designed to house networksystems in which users log on to their aocounts and share processor time. E-mailas we know it was bom out of UNIX. Almost allintemet jargon is UNIX-based .The C programming language was designed for the UNIX operating system.I have not made the effort to gather data and compile statistics, but off-handalmost every institution with whose engineering faculty-s facilities Iam familiaroffers UNIX to undergraduates starting from first year until graduation. Theseinclude the University of Toronto (ecf.utoronto.ca =engineering computingfacility), Tv1cGill University (ee470.ee.mcgill.ca=electrical engineering), andCarleton University. I am sure that if one were to investigate, one would find thatthis is the standard.

Morgan DayB Computerl would like to say that it's nice to beback, but... I can'l First, the weatherucks. Second the pay sucks. And

third quality of life has justtaken a nose dive. Aside fromall of this it's really great to seeeVeI)'one back for another termof mind warping fun. With myintroduction complete, 1'd liketomove on 10 business.As you may be well aware,the WEEF (Waterloo Engineering Endowment Foundation)has spent some serious moneythis fiscal year.

DearIW,Iwould tike to draw attention to an issue hidden amongst the horrific detailsdescribing the murder of David Zaharchuk (Gazette, Dec. 8, 1993). I am notinterestoo in the iOOivdual who committed the crime, Kris Warkentin. My

'crl Y\l',m\/ is for the lost life and the victim's famity. Iam interested, however, inhow society accepts alcohol as a way of absolving oneself of responsibility.Alcohol is not a prescription drug. It's consul1l>tion is voluntary. Over thesociety has decided that it is unacceptable to drive a car after consuming

ever diminishing amount of alcohol. Despite this change of thought, barand/or the owners of the drinking establishment can still be heldresponsible for someone who does not have enough sense when to take a axi.must others be responsible for the actions of irrt.>eciles?

Bad< to the case, we see that the crown attomey had made it clear thathad been a big factor in the killing. Despite the initial charge of secondmurder, a charge of manslaughter was accepted because it might bel i l ~ ; i b I e to prove that a man so drunk had formed the level of premeditationintent thafs an essential part of a murder conviction . It is sad message thatconvicted's exoessive drinking binge may have saved him from a murder

Ihave nothing against the convicted, but I do want to see a udicial systempushes for justice regardless of how much someone has drunk. I amof society accepting the consumption ofalcohol as an excuse for SO manyreasons, from aggressive morons hitting on women to testosterone pumpedbrawls to sheer stupid accidents. If you can't handle your drink, simply stop.Better yet, drink apple juice to begin with.Fortunately, the lad< of space has prevented me from discussing the socialcharacter of someone who plays computer games for 600 hours within a year,or the '1ntent and premeditation involved in smashing someone's skull eight ornine times with a wrench after the person is prostrate on the floor. As well,luckily one event is not enough to prompt me to discuss whether there is anescalation of violent crimes in society.David Carr

PS: Maybe reading the intemational, national, and regionalnews has started to get me a little frustrated.

Watstar is indeed a very noble treasure which we are very lucky to have,especially those curren y acki a naJ co r Many oflions available sometimes become indisperisabte . However, he amount ofmoney directed toward updating Watstar could easily be diverted to more neededareas. Asmall UNIX server could be installed for undergraduates with a desirefor an account (which would be a very small proportion of the total population.)Terminals would no necessarily be needed; one could t In 1diroctly to one'saccount from a Watstar terminal.The disgusting stranglehold on UNIX by the Faculty of tvlalh malics canbecome more tolerable if our needs are met. Iam not propoSing tllat UNIXaccess is a right; in fact, our current Watstar accounts are still, technically, aprivilege. But is time for the Faculty to catch up to the rest of the world andprovide us with adecent system. Our aocounts would no longer ridiculouslyexpire between terms, our mail would never be irretrievably lost in Watstaraccidents , and things would generally be a lot faster and nicer. Is really toomuch to ask? We are certainly paying enough t u ~ i o nMy only suggestion to anyone who feels the same is to contact Dr. W.Wilson ,CPH 23760 (wwilson@office) to make sure that this opinion is officially noted. Ifthere is a sufficient outcry, sorneone's attention may fi nally be attracted to thesituation.Kiyan Azarbar1BComp Eng

Look Ma No crutches

Ys, I've ditched the crutchesand joined the ranks of walking (limping?) wounded. Youmay have noticed that Piyush is alsoon the injured list. Some peoplewould have you believe that we areboth just incompetent skiers, but thetruth is we were injured trying to rescue some novice skiers from a runaway snow groomer. But more aboutthat later.

By this point a lot of you might bethinking 'Wait a second Who's thisRon guy? I thought DalhaJl Liblik wasPresident " At the end of last summerDothan Ublik resigned as President sothat he cou ld devote the n cessarytime to a computer company, inwhich he is a partner. When Dathanaccepted the presidency he was notyet a partner of this company. However, when the opportunity to formthis company presented itself a fewmonths later, it was too good to bemissed. Dothan intended to divide hislime between school, Engsoc, and thebusiness, but this proved to be anunrealistic goal. I know Dathan wasvery upset about having to resign, butI think he made the best choice and Iwish him luck.

According to the constitution, Inowbecome President. So for thooe of youwho are new, or who just don't have aclue what I've been talking about so

far, allow me to introduce myselfl Myname is Ron Butler, I'm in 3B Systems,Iused to be VP-External, but now I'myour president till the end of this term.Feel free to come by the Orifice to talkwith me about anytrung at anytime.I'll be one of the people with a pronounced limp. If you get thewrong limper, don tworry. All the otherlimpers know me andcan point you in theright directionOkay, so whappens to the VP-External position(sorry about all of thisi'ldministrative stuff, but it'salmost over). Again acrordingto the constitution, candidates cancome forward at the first council meeting following the resignation. Well,we had that meeting and no one cameforward. It was very short notice, andI apologize, but we did the best weould to let everylxxly know ahead of

lime. In any case, the next day a Civilengineering student, MarkWaschkowski, expressed interest intile position. After some intensive testing (including how to walk with alimp), we appointed Mark to the position. Congratulations Mark

and I were in Calgary that weekattending the Canadian Congress ofEngineering Studen ts (CCPS). CCESis one the many student engineeringconferences that happens throughoutthe year. It is also the biggest of theseconferer1ces. This year 205 engineering

students gathered from acrossCanada. During the day wewould discuss current issues,listen to guest speakers,and embark on tourst. "I'J1 'I' of local industry (andnight we learnedd r inking

games) . Itwas a lotof fun,

,nd IRon utlerB Systems

encourage everyone (especially thosepeople who are interested in going tofuture CCES's) to talk to the peoplewho went. Look for articles aboutCCES 94 in future Iron Warriors.There are many other conferencesand events coming up this winter.This year Guelph is hosting theESSCO Olympics. ESSCO is theprovincial organization of engineeringstudents (i.e. as Engsoc is to Waterloo,ESSCO is to Ontario). ESSCOOlympics is a social event for Ontarioengineering students, where the participants compete in bizarre sportingevents. It's a lot of fun and an exceUent

way to meet engineering studentsfrom other universities. If you areinterested in going, stop by the Orificeand get a conference application form.Fill it out and drop it on Mark's desk(Betty, our Orifice employee, will helpyou find everything).Guelph is also hosting the OntarioEngineering Competition (OEC). Theofficial due date for this competitionwas December 31, 1993, but it MAYnot be too late to enter. To find outmore, or to enter, stop by the Orificefor a pamphlet and application form.Also this winter is the PEO conference (by now everyone should knowthat PEa stands for Professional Engineers of Ontario). This conferenceallows student engineers the opportunity to talk directly with members ofthe PEa. Among other things, thePEa is responsible for the accreditation of Ontario engineering programs,and the setting of the regulationsunder which we obtain our professional engineering degree. This year,Waterloo (that's us ) is hosting theconference, but we still need delegatesto attend our own conference. interested parties should fill out a conferenceapplication form and put it on Mark'sdesk (see Betty in the Orifice fordetailed instructions).

The first Bridging the Gap lecture isscheduled for January 25th. TheBridging the Gap series is a serviceprovided to the students to allowthem to get feedback about the Engineering profession after graduation.The first talk will be g iven by RonDicke, a UW graduate from electricalengineering. Ron Dickewill be talkingabout the International Space University. The lecture is in EL 112 from11:30 to 12:30. Hope to see you thereWhew, being President sure makesa person long winded Hold on, I'malmost through.

At the February 9 Engsoc councilmeeting we will be deciding on thewinners of the Paul and Paula Plwnmer Awards. These awards are givento recognize outstanding service to theEngineering Society. Since voting willoccur on February 9, all candidatesmust be in before that date. To nominate a candidate, pick up a nomination form in the Orifice (just talk. toBetty).

And finally, this is an election termfor Engineering Society 'A'. So everybody start thinking of who to nominate for the new executive. Nominations open on February 23, and closeon March 4. Election day is March14th.

Welcome back It's great tosee everyone again. It'shell to be so behind inclasses already. I'm sure there are others who feel the same way. Anyways,welcome to all those 1B's and 4B'sfrom B Soc who have made the trip tothe other side. It's definitely going tobe worth it

Ron, Nancy, Casey and I missedout on the first week of the termbecause we were outin Calgary at th26th Congress 0Canadian Engineering Societies.t was a great weekwith some veryinformative lecturesand discussions. f Ronhasn't already told you, wewon the bid to hold CCFS here inWaterloo in two years' time. l l is isa great honour and will do a lot forour PR. The organizers will need alREMENDOUS amount of help getting things together. So if you're interested, come see us. All in all, it was avery positive week for Waterloo.

There have been some changesmade in the Engineering Society ifyou haven't already noticed. We havea new VP External, Mark, and a newOrifice Mom, Betty. Come by the Orifice and get better acquainted withour new additions.

I would like congratulate John &Will for the great job they did on theB.O.T. pub. We weren't here toattend, but we received a lot of positive feedback. Of course, the Deandidn't receive any bad news wruchalways good news for us.

Now for upcoming events. Thefirst is ENGWEEK Come out andparticipate in the events or h ave yourclass run a few. They are worth bigP**S points. The finale of the weekwill be the SCUNT on Friday, January28th. Get your teams signed up andready to compete. It's the 7 DeadlySins SCUNT. Good luck to FYSH andall the tearns. Just a reminder fromthe Dean: don't do anything illegal,and don't get killed

One tlUng that I've always noticedabout the winter term is that there isno semi-formal. There is the GradBall, but not everyone is graduelting.So, we thought it would be cool to

have a party night to which everyonecan come. Then I remembered all thepeople wruning elbout having to getdressed up, not agreeing with themenu, it being too much money, ornot having transportation. Well,we've come up with a solution.ENGINEERING WINTERFEST It'sbeing held elt Ruby's @ the Waterloo

nn on Friday, Feb-, ruary 4th, 1994 ata 8:00 p. m . It's a5.00/person, afterdinner party, youdon't have to get

tle busesto and

from Rub(s. They'll be runningfrom 8:00 p.m. to 9 :00 p.m . and thenagain from 12:30 a.m. to 1:30 a.m.We've chosen a Retro-Oktoberfesttheme since most of us weren'taround in October for the real tlUng.There will be student prices on drinksand that's not all. We've invited engineering schools from across southernOntario to participate as well as theother Faculties on campus. Ths isgoing to be a very large party Wehave a limited number of tickets sogetyour tickets soon. They are availablein the Orifice. Just ask Betty. Don'tget left behind

f you haven't already picked up aBlotter, we still have a few left in theOrifice. It's packed with everythingyou'll want to know about what'shnppening in Engineering this term.

That's about it for this IW. f thereare things you like or dislike about theway things are happening, or if youwish to get involved in any aspect ofthe Engineering Society come see anyone of us. We don't know how we'redoing unless you tell us. I know itsounds cheesy, but this is your society.Anyways, until next lime.

HiA llow me to introduce myself.My name is MarkWaschkowski, I am in 3ACivil, and have recently been appointed to the position of VP External. Iwas appointed to this position bythe executive (last Thursday )after no one elseappeared interestedin the job (not that Ididn't want it or anything - I didn'tknow about it.) Ifound out aboutposition availabilityat the Jast Eng Socmeeting, which Iwent to as the recyclingdir tor. The exec and I t.1lkcxfabout what the job involv d,what I wouJd do ..and here 1am , anappointed official of Eng Soc. I hopeto do a good job, mod have som coolstuff that I would like to accomplish.I want to tell you about some of the

upcomingevents thatl will be responsible for (actually, the directors get todo most of the work but if anythinggoes wrong, I get blamed :.

A Looney Line charity drive will behappening this week, on ThursdayJan. 27. We are going to be trying toraise money for a local charity bymaking a long line of loonies leadingfrom the orifice to CPH Foyer. YouwiJJ be seeing Kathy and Shelley outthere trying to raise money, SO give toa good cause and raise your Karma.Donations of $5 or more will berewarded with a T-shirt

The next event that I want to mention is Explorations (no this isn't a StarTrek theme) that is happening onMarch 12. This event invites gradeschool kids in grades 5 8 to tour engineering. Little kids Should be a blast,and all voluntee rs get a free T-shirt outof the deal. We will need lots of volunteers for this, but often spaces run outquick, so make sure to get in yourform when the event date draws closer. Just listen to your class repannouncements, REA 011 US PAPER,and check out the posters when theycome up.

The last one that I will mention isthe Shadow program. This is thetlUng where students in grades 11-13

come and hang out with someone inEngineering for the day. They go toyour classe with you and listen toyour best (and worst) profs teach yourclass, while also getting to experiencewhat happens outside of the class.You show them around, tnke them

How It Is and How It Should eTerence ilhuly

.A; picked up my dating service/prostitute phone numer laden pen given to meand several thousands of salary menin the streets of Tokyo, I came to realize that there are a number of dangerous beliefs about the state of Japan.The uneducated westerner feels it ismerely a land of geisha and samurai.1bemore highly educa ted will believeit is nol only this but an overpopulated land of very expensive geisha andmorally corrupt samUIai. With thisarticle I would like to protest theseunfair views and humbly offer criticism as to where the Canadian societyfalls short in comparison.

These negative views of what was

for technological prowess. Thisprowess was first seen in the transistorradio and now shows itself in, amongother things, fuzzy logic/possibly arti-ficially intelligent sentient clotheswashers. I'd bet these are SUperior toanything in Canada when placed inthe right hands, but whether for reasons of illiteracy I was one of the 5 tuse of the wrong chemicals whiledoing the laundry, or ineptness on mypart, r annot prove this.

Another example of technologicalsuperiority would be in motorcycles.1 you love bikes Japan is definitely theland for you. Where else will you find250cc motorc ycles speed limited to180kmph? Need I mention thatKawasaki won the Suzuka 8 Hours

militarily and then pubJjcJy humiliating the Emperor of the time by forcingHim to publicly renounce His d.aim tobeing a diety. Canadians performed asimilar act in 1984 when we finallywrote our own constitution. The difference between the two cultures inthis case is that the Japanese stillrespect their royalty.

Besides worship of the Emperor,religion can be seen in many otherforms. 1beJapanese as a cultureseemto have a more liberal view of religionin their lack of restrictions on worship.It's apparently common for Japanesepeople to start life as a Shinto, manyas a Christian, and die as a Buddhist.Openness in worship can also be a

look at anada through Japanese Eyesow t get yourown viewpoint on

anadaFor those of you who are interested

in trying to find a similar experience,I ok no further, this is impos ible.One of the gmlt U1ings about Japan isil i an infinitel varied society. Allvisitors will have different e periencesand be shaped in different waysbecause of them. However, if you areinler I d in going 10 Japan 10 getyour own angle on it Ulef are a couple way ' y 1I can do this U1rOugh theuniversity:

'Who said the J paneese were small? Teny checks out the competition, but he seems to be a little outweighed.

1) There i an e change programset up between Totton University andthe University of Waterloo, runthrough the department of SystemsDesign. Although it is principally Sys-tems oriented, members of other disciplines have participaled in the past.Students typically leave during Marchor April, study their 3A term in Toltonand then work in Japanese industryuntil December. As I didn'l take t1lisroute to the orient, these details are notexact. To get the exact details, contactDr. Keith Hipet Systems Design.

...FromPage6things that makes the Japanese peopleso beautiful. TIlis simplicity and thebeauty with it is expressed everywhere throughout the culture. Thisnation of people, whose stereotypeshould take time out to smell the flowers, do just that. Japanese people willavidly celebrate the corrting of springby leaving the city to watch the newlyblooming flowers. The simple act offlower arranging as an arl is just aswidespread and respected as themore familiar karate. Other simpleyet elevaled art forms are calligraphy(shodo) and the tea ceremony - a ceremony whose underlying belief is theservice of others in small things is thehigh est act .

To go with the tea, the simple basicnecessity of life, food is also highly valued - a national passion. On televisionthere is almost always some sort ofprogram to do with either how tocook, or more importantly how to eat.The food also comes in incomprehensible varieties, possibly anothermethod of intelbgent use of resources.While there I ate such wonderfulthings as crickets, silk worms, livesnails, raw crab, chicken and horse,and even the prized delicacy of the

poisonous blowfish. Not all Japanesefood is capable of killing and in general the Japanese eat a much healthierdiet than Canadians and probablybecause of their diet, the Japaneseseem to be in a lot better physical condition. There is just a surpri sing lackof obesity on the other side of thePacific.

Maybe it is this better phYSica l condition that grants higher tatus to theobese people in society. Success forexecutives is sometimes measured bythe size of the waistline. 1llis is alsooften true in the case of s umowrestlers. If you are not familiar withthe sport, sumo wrestling basicallyinvolves two very large men trying tothrow each other either into the earthor oul of the ring. Some of these men,Konishiki for example, weigh in alover 250 kg.

Finally, one of the greatest areas inwhidl Japanese society bests Canada's(or the western world's, for thai mal

t ~ r is that despite being forced 10 livein close contact wilh the man on thetrain who reilds a pornographic cornicthat costs more than your NationalGeographic, you can rest assured thatthis man will not have a gun. Gunlaws are even more strict Ihere thanthey are here - private citizens are just

not permitted to own handguns.Hand in hand with this advantage isthe advantage of there being next tono violent crime. Bribery of government officials (of the previousgovernment the new one is yet young) andother forms of white collar crime seemto be the only misdoings that occur.To misquote Dave Barry from hisbook Dave Barry Does Japan, whi lethe Japa nese were finding out aboutthe scandals of their government, wewere busy discovering the contents ofJeffrey DaIme r's refrigerator.

2) My method of gelting to Japanwas through the Co-op Japan program, an inter-university co-op program run out of the University of Victoria, Victoria, B.C.

75 Do//ars WorthofSelf-Respect

Ron utler8 Systems

Wi;n I first started my undergrad career al Wal rloo, theWatstar rooms were filledwith unassuming, nondescript computers with ugly, little green monitors. Idon't even know what kind ofmachines lhey were, because in thosedays the manufacturers just weren'tproud enough of their machines toadorn them with labels and modelnumbers. One thing for sure, it was arare day when I got to sit in front of acomputer with 386 or 486 emblazonedon it, and at the time I still thought amouse was a furry, little rodent.That was just lhree short years ago.Since that time trungs have changeddramatically, and I would be hardpressed to find a single one of thoseugly, green monitors. Now I can walkinto any Watstar room and take mypick of 386's, complete with a mouseand VGA monitor (provided they're notall in use ).

I feel I should mention this becausemany of you weren't here to witness thephenomenal change.And the point thatI want to make is Ule lt none of it wouldhave happened without the WaterlooEngineering Endowment Fund(WEEF).

For those of you who don'tknow, the WEEF was aEngineering Sodety initiative, set up to improve the qUillityof facilities at Waterloo. The way itworks is that each student contributes$75 each term to the WEEF (look onyour fee statement for voluntary contribution). In just three short years the

WEEF has grown to over a million dol- '

lars - a remarkable achievement. Theinterest on this prindple is used to purchase equipment for every faculty, toimprove Watstar service, and to assiststudent projects.

I Iere are just a few examples of thingsthe WEEF was used for in 1993. TheWEEF was used to purchase computersfor Chemical, Eectrical and Computers,Mechanical and Systems . Ovil receiveda $5000 chemostat. New software waspurchased for Watstar. Concrete Toboggan received $2(0) dollars in funding.

Basically, everyone benefits from theWEEF. And just because the WEEF isnow over 1 million is not a reason for itto stop growing. Waterloo Engineeringstill needs improving (and if you don'tthink so, try to find an available Watstarterminal during the average day). Further, we can take pride in the fact that itwas us, the students, who made it possible.

That is why it grieves me to see that,so far this term, over 500 students havetaken their contribution back I hopetha t these people feel guil ty every timeU'ley sit down at a Watstar terminal, oruse their new osdlloscopes, or operatethe la the in the student shop. These pe0-ple should be ashamed that they areenjoying the benefits of U le WEEF andare not sharing the burden of the cost.

We are all fortunate to attend Ol le ofthe finest engineering schools in theworld, and we should take pride in ourfaculty. 75 dollars is not a lot of moneyfor the tremendous benefit the WEEFhas given us, and will give to the students who come after us. I urge everyone to give something back to thisschool that is providing us with somuch.

equipment, business machines, pharmaceuticals and medicine - areincreasing productivity while decreasing their payrolls. A 1993 CanadianLabour Congress report states thatwhile production in these industrieshas increased since 1989, employmentlevels have decreased in all exceptpharmaceuticals.

lndeed, industrial restructuring hascaused unemployment amongstOntario engineers to jump from 800 in1990, to 1525 by June 1993. Because ofthis, PEO members' use of the association's Employment Advisory Service(EAS) doubled from 1991 to 1992,when 2465 members used EASresources and 434 received careercounselling.

As for downsizing in consultingengineering, Consulting Engineers ofOntario's member firms have reducedtheir engineering staff from 3980 in1990, to about 3240 in 1993, CEO'smembership has decreased from 356to 295 firms over the same period.

Nevertheless, PEO members likeGreg Pargetter are still starting smallconsulting firms. The number of newapplicants for Certificates of Authorization - the licence PEO grants toengineers offering services directly tothe public - increased from 373 in

1991, to 421 in 1992. Pargetter says histhree-person firm is coping with therecession by taking over work left byfirms that have gone under.

Changing patterns of engineeringemployment are also affecting engineering graduates. John Cullen, coordinator, graduate and alumniemployment, University of Waterloo,says that from 1989-1992, there was a30% drop in campus recruiting for alljobs except for computer science andcomputer engineering.

Jim Kelly, director, career planningand placement, Queen's University,says big manufacturers are recruitingsignificantly fewer engineering graduates, and many are finding workinstead with small, start-up fonns invarious industries. From March 1991to March 1992, 130,540 new smallbusinesses (under 50 employees) wereregjstered in Ontario.

Terry Johnston, engineering liaisoncoordinator, Univers ity of Toronto,says U of Ts engineering graduatesare also finding work with smallerfirms. '' There's still a lot of demandfor electrical and computer engineers,but many new jobs are now contractinstead of pennanent, he told Engineering Dimensions.

Tcxiay, paper products are taken forgrqnted, and it would be hard toimagine our daily life without them.Besides being a medium for the written word, paper and cellulose nowhave a multitude of uses, includingwrapping and packaging, insulation,sanitary products and even as foodadditives. Without paper, government, industry and educational systerns could not function. Indeed , figures for paper consumption per capitaare often cited as a reliable indicator ofa country's standard of living. Therefore, it is of vital importance that safe,clean and sustainable methods of production be developed for such anessential product.

Wood pulp is the prirruuy source ofour paper, and it is this fact combinedwith our ever-increasing appetite forpaper products that has caused manyof our modern enviro nm e ntalheadaches . Clear-cutting wreakshavoc with local ecology, and largescale deforestation is depriving theearth ofa ital means of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.While these are, hopefully, wellknown facts by now, what is perhaps

However, popularobsession with these byproducts ofthe hemp plant have caused many toforget its true usefulness.

It's cultivationfo r fibre, recorded in Ch ina as earl y as28 B.C., was practiced in theMediterranean outries of Europeearly in the Christian Era, spreadingthroughout the rest of Europe duringthe MiddJe Ages. In the New Worldit was planted in Chile in the 1SOOs,and a century later in the Britishcolonies of North America.

Hemp can be cultivated simply byscattering the seed on the ground .Each seed groyvs into a single stem 5-20 feet high . Crops grow best insandy loam soil with good drainage,and require average monthly rainfallof at Jeast 2.5 inches (but they easilyildapt to various climate conditions).Most plants re dioecious, prcxiucingm le and female flowers on separatepl;mts. t is usuilily harvested whenthe pollen flowers have fully blossomed. Fibres ilre removed from thestem by rotting, scutching, and hackling. TIle long fibres, which maybe 3-9 feet long, re flexible but strong anddurilble. They are used for milkingropes, twines, nets, sacking, sailcloth,and other coarse fabrics.

In 19]6, USDA Bulletin No . 404reported that one acre of cannabishemp, in annual rotation over a 20year period, would produce as muchpulp for paper, as 4.1 acres of treesbeing cut down over the same 20 yearperiod. That would provide fourtimes as much raw material for thepulp and paper industry, and itwould allow for production results tobe six times greater, than what thecompany would achieve by usingwood (based on the fact that woodcontains only 50% cellulose, whilehemp has 77%). 'The llClturnl materials in hemp make it an economicalsource of pulp for any grade of paper,and the high percentage of alpha cellulose in the plant promises an unlimited supply of raw material for thousands of cellulose products."
