ridging the gap to our pashris McRaiidommunications Director

Everybody s hould be aware of why they arewhere they are and how it got to be that way. Our

erspectives were expanded on just that topicwhen Ken Mclaughlin, the University of Waterloo's official historian spoke on October 8 about the colourful history of our school and its engineering beginnings. This wasthe first lecture in the Bridging the Gap Lecture Series ofthe Fall term

It's no secret to most of us that our humble origins areclosely tied with that other school down the road, namelyWLU. But few are aware how the offspring came to settleand grow to bec()me the successful giant it s today. Fewerstill know about all of the sordid activities that earned thestudents of the engineering faculty a certain reputation.Hail our forefathers To learn this information on yourown you would normally have to find a professor who sbeen around since the mid fifties and somehow breaktheir code of secrecy (a little golden elixir never hurts). ButDr. Mclaughlin was the appropriate person to wax historic since he was a student here in the mid sixties, hasbeen a professor at the school since 1970 and was recentlythe Dean of St. Jerome's College. He is currently workingon a book about t he University idea at Waterloo.

The idea for a science and engineering school camefrom t he office of Dr. Hagey at Waterloo College. At thattime it was a small but stout religious college with risingaspirations. Hagey enlisted his pal Ira Needles (yes Needles Hall), then the CEO of BF Goodrich Canada to sell theidea of a combined work study program to the businesscommunity. The idea was a winner and the plan washatched. But where to put the school? Originally it wassupposed to reside at the Waterloo College site but it wasobvious their tiny parcel of land couldn t support theschool's impe nding growth. Our first building Engineering 1 was originally designed for a hillside at WaterlooCollege but when the gears switched and the farm landpurchased for our new home, they were lucky to find ahillside with the same dimensions on which to throw thebuilding.

Nowadays we think we re pretty cool when we torment the frosh at the start of the year, organize certain special events and pull the odd stunt, but when you look backat the students then, it's easy to see they were pretty hardcore. The geers first gained notoriety when they scaled

They would have gotten away with it unnoticed except they hired a plane to perform a fly-by with allof them on top, attracting attention from the local authorities. n another display of bravado, one engineering gangwent to the roof of the Huether Hotel and deposited a bigsign for all eyes to see "ENGINEER1NG ". One unfortunate student was tasked with keeping the cop stationed atthe comer of the hotel from looking up. He was understandably nervous when all 20 of the students began theirwork less than 40 feetup from where Mr. Officer stood.

The first engineering class, which by the way was allmale, purchased leather jackets with not one but twoessential internal pockets, one for the classic slide rule andthe other for the mickey of beverages. Dr. Mclaughlinalluded to the fact if the same jackets were redesignedtoday they may have included a third pocket for specialprotection of the rubber variety. They were adamantabout attracting attention to themselves and differentiating themselves fr om their mother school down the roadby altering road signs, university signs and pulling the

What we must be wary of is electing someone only becauseofpopuJarity.

Engineering pen:eptionAlways there is loads of talk of the way that engineers andengineering is perceived by society. A number of recmt arti-

cles have sparked discussion of it. At UW, Prof. NormanBall's republished comments in the azette have incitedmum talk as well as negativity towards Mr .Ball.

Initially I found it very sad dening that the descriptors usedin these articles are qui te inaccurate when I think of my experiences here. Certainly I would not be too eager to blameOrientation Week over attributing the hundreds of weeksthat follow. ,t s unfortunate though that as an organization we don'taddress these concerns more rationally and dismiss so readily the challenge to change or strengthen our beliefs.

l1 e Engineering Output Centre inCPH 2367, the GAFF, will cease toexist in its current form at the end ofthe 1996 Fall term. In its place will be anew facility that offers 24-hour output,along with the ability to use a Watcard toadd money in five-dollar increments touser printing accounts. For those whowant guaranteed-quality output, there willstillbe a filed-output printer to provide thesecurity and quality that users haveenjoyed from the current system.

A special Watcard swipe stationwill become available January I, 1997, outside the Engineering Computer User Support Centre in E2-1308, the ECUSC. It willallow users to add money in five-dollarincrements to their Watstar printingaccounts at any time. Refunds will bemade to the user's central Watcardaccount, Food Services, by an online Watstar request. This simplifies the currentsyst m which involves the user purchasing a$10 printing services card from theCashier's Office in Needles Hall, bringingit to the operator to have the amountadded, and reversing the process to obtaina refund of the unused balance.

The current I/O roomwill be dis-mantled at the end of classes this tenn, anda new, smaller roomwill be constructed onthe opposite wall of the GAFF. This new

arrangement will have a through-the-wallprint hopper, as in the other public Watstarrooms, so that users in the GAFF canobtain their output at any time. Anotherprinter inside the new output room will beused for filed-output only, so that sensitive , or best quality printout is protectedfrom the eyes and hands of other users. Itwill be filed during working hours, andkept locked up at night. As is the case now,quality guarantees and refunds will be ineffect for filed-output jobs, but will notapply for through-the-wall jobs. Colourprinter outputwill remain much the sameas now: users will need to manual ly releasethe job, to avoid printing unnecessary andunwanted mistakes. The results wi l befiled with the other output at regular intervals during the day.The I/O room has been staffedfor years by the Department of ComputingServices. As part of its reorganization andintegration with Data Processing and Telephone Services, support for this room isbeing withdrawn. In order to provide,and in some ways to improve, service toour users, the Engineering ComputingDepar tment is undertakin g these changes.

Take a stand ondifferentialtuition fees

Keith ParkerFED ouncil Representative

W:at is differential tuition youask? Well, to sum it up, it is theact of charging more for someprograms than others. And all sides of athree sided coin feel strongly about theissue.

What has got the debate going is thepush by universities to deregulate tuitionfees. This means that the Universitieswould have significant control in decidinghow much they could charge. Some areasking for full control, others are askingfor simply more control than what theyhave now. One of these in betweenoptions is that the provincial governmentallows the Universities more freedom insome programs and very little in others.

he last option is taken, there are several possible ways to decide which programs will be allowed to go up more, andwhich one's are still tightly controlled.

The first option is to differentiatebetween program cost For example, withthe current tuition fee structure, witheveryone paying nearly the same, arts students pay 50 percent of their education,engineers 27 percent and dentistry students eight percent. Taking this optionwill even this out a bit.

Second option is to differentiatebetween degree worth. An engineer can

expect to leave school and earn a scantly higher salary than an Arts s(stats have proven this), and do texpectation they can afford to payThis is the same with doctors, Moptometrists etcThe third option is a mixture.

We need your input On Novemthere will be a vote at the FederatStudent's Student Council Meetiwhich option we support. What weto know is what you as a student belfairest and best for society. Thisimportant issue, and the eventual dewill shape the education of the future

Student IssuesResourceCentreealing with the ugly stuff in society

Heather alderCo ordinatorStudent Issues Resource entre

might see m like the usual bor:ing article about a service on campus that you likely aren't go:ing to

read - but it's not. Please keep going.I am the coord:inator of the StudentIssues ResoW'ce Centre. That's a brandnew part of the Federation of Students.Mario has been known to say that I dealwith the ugly stuff in society - and bythat he means racism, sexism, homo-phobia, and harassment. To put a morepositive spin on my job, I am here to

elp you i you are experiencing thatugly stuff', to provide you with infor

mation and contacts in the university toelp you.I am also here to help you i you need

to know about something that has nothng to do with academics (we have Kellyoley, VP Education, for that) and nothng to do with administrivia (that's

ario Bellabarba's job) and nothing todo with clubs, services or societies (that'sfor Julie Primeau , VP Internal, to do).

What does that leave? Well, thingslike eating disorders, environmentalwareness, human rights, AIDS/HIV,

women's and men's issues, internationalevelopment, health issues,

es /bi gay transgendered rights, andmany other things that affect all of us.

ome people call these the touchyeely things. What they really mean by

that is that you have to be a bleed:ingheart iberal to care about these things.I don't think that's true. I have seen inthe last 6 months how much thesethings do affect people's lives, and howmportant compassion and understandng are. You may not be HIV positive,ut I would bet that you know someoneho is. You may not know that one of

your friends has been sexually assaultd, but chances are good that he/sheas been. You may not realize that your

jokes about someone's weight hurtshim/her terribly because she/he hassuffered or is suffering from an eatingdisorder. You may not think you knowanyone who is gay, but trust me, youdo. You may not think that buying yourgas at Shell is hurti ng Nigerians, but it s.

You get the point.Regardless of whether you ever use

the services of the Student IssuesResource Centre, I would like you tothink about foW things:

1 Every one of yoW actions has a profound effect on the universe (soundskind of New Age, but it's true). Thinkabout this in the context of the environment - every time you put something :inthe drain, it ends up out there in thewater somewhere for a bird to choke on.

2) People are far more complicatedthan they appear. People are kind of likeicebergs this way - no matter what yousee on the surface, there ar e things underthere that may horrify and delight you.Keep this in mind when you are speak-ing to them.

3 There's no such thing as a stupidquestion i you don't know the answer.(Words of wisdom from my father thathave served me well) This applies inyour case as well as to others.

4 No matter what anyone has said toyou, you are worth the effort to take careof yourself and to get help when youneed it. None of us are perfect, no matterhow hard we may try to be. I don't rea lly know any of you who might still bereading this far into the article, but Iknow that you are worth caring about.Just by being born you are worth caringabout. That goes across the board - allpeople are worth caring about, and arenot wastesof space , or losers.

End of lecture.For more information about some of

the things I do, please don't hesitate tocall me at ext. 6331, e-mail me at [email protected] or check out the SIRCweb page, linked to the Federation ofStudents's page.

8 The Iron Warrior Friday, November 1,A couple lips now?Rocky RadovanBEnvChementalEhat time of year. The time has comein the term when every member of theteemed faculty of engineering has hadjust about enough of midterms and failure,

and is pondering the quintessential question - Just what the heck am I doing inengineeringanyway?

Engineering is about problem solving,but in reality it is about finding the easiest,fastest, and occasionally the best solution tothat problem. Here's the answer so youdon't have to think; There just ain't nothingelse t do. Here'swhy.

Power corrupts. There is absolutely nodoubt about it Once you (as an engineer)get a taste of being one of society's elite, youjust can't get up and leave. Lay people areextremely jealous of engineers because,.well, all kidding aside, they ARE morecapable at doing anything, but why not gofor the gusto and leave all the crummy jobs

to everybody else. God (or Allah, orwhomever else the various religions of theworld believe is the Creator) was an engineer. Creator of the Universe is pretty highup in the social structure, so I sure as heckwouldn't mind being called an engineer isHe was. How can anybody top that?

Just suppose that your ego is not inflatedenough and you are still considering anot her route to continue your post-secondaryeducation at Waterloo. Math student? Youcan't be serious. No matter what, I wouldrather be considered a prototypicalengineerwith shcxidy clothes, no style, and no per-sonality than a prototypical mathie. Themathie's biggest contribution to society ismaking sure that there is a continuous market for thick hom rimmed glasses and pock-et protectors. Pink tie? They couldn't eventhink up a de cent phallic symbol Give mea ig 01' RIDGID pipe wrench any day. Iguess math s way way out

Transfer to computer science - there's astep in the right direction. It's a good thingthe Internet is around, cause there is never

Sarah aviesW ell I haven t seen yet what the other delegates from PEO have written, but I wasjust told that I needed to do a little spiffon the ESSCO meeting, so I am now complying.For those of you who don t know, ESSCO stands forthe Engineering Student Society Council of Ontarioand the name basically describes what they do.Their most important function of course is to represent Ontario Engineering students. In previousyears (and you may have heard this before), ESSCOreally wasn t working to its potential, partially dueto the lack of interest of Ontario universities. I wasvery impressed with this year's executive and theirgoals. From the interest of the other schools attending the conference, I think this was a mutua l feeling.

The meeting was very productive with threemajor focuses:1) how to make the communication betweenESSCO and the universities better

2) making recommendations to the government tohelp keep excellence in the school systems and3) discussion of expectations that Ontario Engineering students have from ESSCO.The major problem with ESSCO in the past hasbeen that no one ever really knew where to contactthem (i.e. the executive) and that Ontario societiesnever really felt the need to be in contact with eachother on a regular basis. To deal with the first problem, the new executive had business cards printedwith the ESSCO number and email address on itWe also discussed ideas to make it easier to connect;Jason Worry (ESSCO VP-Finance and Mr. B Soc VP-Finance) threw some ideas out, such as pagers or

he ron Warrior Friday, November 1, 19Rekindling interest n the Ontario scross campus engineering.society

cellular phones for the executive. Most peoplecame to the consensus that this wasn t really neededbut we suggested a 1-800 number that schools couldcall to reach them and maybe even other schools.Also suggested were stickers with the ESSCOphone number so that i t would be very easy toknow where to get in touch with them.With regard to communication between engineering societies, we discussed the types of things thatmight be useful to communicate about, such asproblems with frosh week, student events, etc., inorder to share work ing solutions. There seemed tobe a positive response to making more effort insharing ideas and helping each other out, as it wasfound that we are dealing with a lot of the sameproblems.

The second issue discussed was a report thatESSCO is preparing (specifically Eloise Harvey,ESSCO VP-Education) with suggestions to keep theexcellence in education despite all the budget cutsto our universities. The government right nowwants to charge a higher tuition based on expectedsa lary after graduation (yes, that would be us ).Obviously we all disagreed with this proposal, anddiscussed some other recommendations. Some ofthe recommendations are: for all first year studentsto pay the exact same tuition, and for loans (OSAPetc.) would be paid back after graduation at a ratedecided by the actual income of the graduate at thetime. About the issue that Engineering studentsspecifically paying more tuition, some felt weshould pay less in order to encourage more peopleto go into the field. Others didn t mind paying a little more, due to the fact that it costs a lot more toeducate us than in some other faculties (due to labs,

class hours etc.). f you want any more informon this, I believe Erin Dunphy has a copy oother suggestions and more specifics.Lastly, (I'll try to shorten this because this isting a little long), we discussed our expectationESSCO and how it can be improved. Julian Wrthe ESSCO president, talked to us about howfeels we can get the ball rolling. He reminde(politely) that it is the VP-External's duty towith ESSCO and most engineering societies (cally all of us) have bypassed this responsibHe suggested that it be stressed and writtenhigh priority that the VP-External keeps themunication lines open. This would include bon the Link (an email link for students in Ontand to pass the information to the Society, as wecommunicating with other universities. Therea really positive attitude from the other delegnow that ESSCO has more of a focus (and hwow, a mission statement) that there shoulincreased interest and participation among all neering societies. I guess we'll just have to seethink all it will really take is some initiative onpart and with the executive's part, which I tthey have already showed us.

Well, that's basically it. We played a silly ggot wet, marshmallows got thrown at us (dask ) and it was over. f you would like any mspecific details, just ask me but look forwarESSCO becoming an important part of OntEngineering Students again. f things gplanned, they can become a powerful organizaas the voice of all of us

THE SON OF TOOLThere we were, three lowly dumb enjoying our

time here as Waterloo engineers. Our thoughts were troubled however, for the image of the TOOL filled our everywaking hour, and resided in our dreams at night. Weknew that, being frosh, we would rarely get to bask in itsgreatness. We were indeed troubled.

To alleviate our sorrow we decided to take a walkaround campus. We began talking about the TOOL, andwe did not pay attention to where we were headed. Wesoon came to Columbia Lake and it seemed to draw us toit. We went to shore, not knowing that one of the mostimportant moments in our life was about to occur.

We sat by the water's edge when suddenly, a womanclad in the purest duct tape rose from the waters of thelake bearing an object that shone in the sun. This was themythical Lady of Columbia Lake, and actual female engi-neer As we looked at what she was holding, we saw itwas the TOOL But wait, it didn t have the commandingpresence of the TOOL. What could it be?

We found a boat nearby and rowed out to greet theLady, and as we drew near, she turned to face us. She told

us that this was the Son of TOOL, the S.o.T., and 1hat wewere to be its chosen Conveyers. Attached to the SO.T.was a chain the Daughter Olains we were told, they wereto be used for security purposes. Awestruck though wewere, it was a female engineer after all, we accepted thisprize and the responsibility to carry it.

As we rowed away, we examined the Son of TOOLand found it to be 48" of pure frosh rigidity. This waswhat we needed, it wasn t the TOOL, but it was something. It was a rosh's TOOL, something that we lowly

could bear and inspire other with (as well asimpress some of the upper year engineering students.) Wehad the cure for our depression in our hand, and wewould show it to the rest of engineering.

We were preparing our costumes: out hoods, outoveralls, our sunglasses, when we realized something. Wesaw that we had the opportunity to generate positive publicity for the real TOOL. We figured out that the only reason that it received bad publicity was because people werenot ready to accept such a large TOOL. We decided toforego the hoods, and make the S.O.T. available for all of

1. The Tool is the embodiment-of aJl things good about Waterloo Engineering.2. The Tool must ne protected from the unworthy hands of non-plummers.3. The Tool has the inalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.4. The right of the Tool Bearers to keep and bear the Tool shall not be infringed.5. University administration shall pass no law respecting Tool bearer uniforms, nor

prohibiting thre free wearing thereof. University administration shall pass nolaw abridging the right of the Tool and Tool bearers to freely assemble.

6. Beer is good.7. E. R.T.w.

\ I I I ( I ( I I . ) I I) (. .1 II d ,1. The rightful liberties siezed from the Tool shall be restored at once.2. The uniform of the Tool bearers must dignify the Tool, protect the anonymity ofthe bearers, yet be fashionable for fall, winter, and spring term wear.

\ I I I ( I ( I I I . I Ii (. . ) I \I I , , I1. To inspire plummers to take pride in the original Tool by proudly parading

through campus, posing for photographs, attending class, going to exams, andhanging out at Poets, always under the watchful care of the S.O.T. conveyors.

2. To serve as the mascot for 2L (frosh division 2.)

To this end, we pledge our batch, our Watcards and out sacred bell curves.The onv yors

engineering to touch, not just the chosen Bearewould reunite it wi th its estranged father. We wouate a better w rid for Waterloo engineers, and thewould guide us to this end.As some looked upon the SO.T. they exclaimedwas not the TOOL. Although we are dumb frosaren't that dumb.

14Rememher to breatheI suppose mid-terms are on many minds

if they are present or recent past I've hadand will have a few that won t greatlyoccupy my thoughts. From other experiences, I have known more hectic times.

Certainly there isn't much that can besaid in words to ease mental stress, but neither does naught. o how about a story?

f I ever gained any wisdom from WaltDisney, though. questionable it is, this maybe itIn 1983 I turned on my family's blackand white television one summer Sundayevening in the corner of our basement.Walt Disney's show was airing as it usuallydid in those days. I only watched for fewminutes then and another few minutesabout an hour later. t was a live actiontelevision motion picture. The story wassurprisingly socially conscious and compassionate. I thought this unusual for acompany so commonly spreading evilabout.

The story was of a boy who had a braind iso rder which cau sed him to haveseizures. The boy was visiting relatives for

he ron Warriorthe summer in a rural town

The boy, Rick was walking in a field andhe met a sweet girl who was close to hisown age. Rick and the girl talked andbecame friends. Unsurely he began to trusther a bit and told her about his st range condition. Showing her warmth she askedwhat she should do if he had a seizure. Hereplied more relaxed that she had toremember to tell im to breathe.

Later I saw a scene whe re Rick's familywas debating whether or not

he was to undergo an operation to severthe connections between his brain hemi-spheres to prevent his seizures. Before theydecided Rick was spendin g time talking tothe girl and he began to seizure. He laytwitching on the ground she sat besidehimand gently though firm ly told him,Remember to breathe, Rick.I think that s just cool enough. When

times are hard and thingsoccupy you to all extents.Remember to breathe.

Imagine my father's shock when he overheard me discussing my half-serious plans for housing arrangements this term. I was going to save themoney I normally spend on rent and use it to buy acar. Pretty optimisitic considering that rent is onlytwelve hundred dollars a term. Then I would usemy powers of guile and sardonic wit to live on campus for free. Burgeoning school fees have eclipsedthe cost of accomodation and rendered my schemeuseless, but it is still worthwhile to consider thevirtues of runaway pragmatism.The first issue that comes to mind s whereto sleep. The university seems to have gone out ofits way to purchase couches that are not comfortable to sleep on, as I have learned on those rareoccasions when I have been too drunk to drivehome . The SLC couches are passable but the building gets too cold at ni ght for restful sleep, especiallyi you happen to be wearing shorts in middle ofwinter . Also, the constant barrage of Safety Vanannouncements keeps waking you up . Probably thebest place on campus is the chemistry society'slounge, but the janitors have started locking thedoors to the building at night this term. The comfylounge in MC proves to be a bit of a misnomer, dueto the high percentage of acrylic in the narrowcouches, so I would probably stick with the basement of EL If you bring a sleeping bag and a pillowthen the quality of the couch doesn't matter toomuch anyway. By far the best solution to this problem is to join an organization that gives you accessto a room somewhere on campus. 4th year studentsshould have no problem with this.

The PAC provides a convenient place totake a shower every morning. You can get free soapfrom the dispensers in the washrooms. Soap evenworks well as a shampoo. In a blind taste test, consumers chose Ivory dish soap over many popularbrands of shampoo, including, I seem to remember,6

Steal this paperHead and Shoulders. You'll want to do your laundry over at the apartements on the corner of Westmount. The laundry rooms are in the basement andthe doors always seem to be open. Storage of yourbelongings is a bit of a problem. You'll want to keepfrequently accessed items in one of the numerouslockers that can be yours for the small price of alock. Bulkier items, incl uding clothing, can go in thetrunk of your car.Parking your car, unfortunately, is going tobe inconvenient. You can leave it in the UniversityPlaza parking lot for as long as twelve hours withlittle danger (although you may want to avoid thehigh risk zone between 5:30 and 7:30 am). The miracle of Williams Coffee Pub is that you now have aplausible excuse for leaving your car in the parkinglot at any time of day. The closest place forovernight parking, however, is Lester street, whichis a bit of a walk.

The next question is, of course, how toavoid nullifying all your savings by eating out allthe time. This is the most difficult question, and itdoesn't have an easy answer. You can try to leechfrom the on-campus food bank, but canned foodwill be useless to you if you don't have a stove. Theimportant thing to realize is that store bought fooddoesn't have to be more expensive than homecooked food, it's just not cooked. My advice is tostock up from the C D by day and eat that for dinner. The microwave in the comfy lounge doesn't getput away at night, unlike the ones outside the C D.

There are many ways to get free food. Ilearned them from Abbie Hoffman. I won't listthem here because they aren't considered verymoral. I often wonder about that. It boggles mymind when I meet all these people who believe insome absolute concept of morality but have no concept of objective reality. They believe tha t every per son is born with some ingra ined knowledge of whatis right and wrong. I'll agree with that - to a point. Ithink we have a special instinct that tries to keep usout of trouble. But in the end I think it all comes

The Silent AccusedI m sick of the judges who lack mirrorsThey sit, all high and perfectAnd point at me and blame meThis world, where everyone is self-righteousIs filled with these blind peopleThose unable to see their own shortcomingsIt is here where I sit, the silent accusedCharged with crimes too numerous to mentionBelittlement to hate to rage to apathyI listen to the accusations and arguementsBut the trial is only for showAs the prosecutor is the judgeThe charges are laid like knives upon meSlicing the flesh beneath themThe ensuing rhetoric is performed on their kneess they suck the crimson blood from meDraining me of life and will to live

The only uncertainty of this play-actingIs whether the accused survives the trialLong enough, at least, to be sentenced to death.

Okay, this time I'm not going to say Hieveryone ," because I figure that's implied.

So what's new, eh?Well, I'm going to learn how to playa

tuba (actually, I think it's a sousaphone,but it looks like a tuba). No, seriously, Iwas down in Dean's storage the other dayand found the instrume nt in a collection ofold Plumme r's Band stuff. Back about 10years ago, Eng oc had a Plummer's Bandthat came out to most of our events to playwonderful engineering tunes. This bandslowly faded away, and now all we haveare a bunch of beat up old instruments. Ifound the zousaphone, soldered somepieces back on, applied a little duct tape,and presto it works again

On a more serious note, I hope everyone's midterms went okay. For those ofyou who might still have a midterm, Isympathize and wish you luck (my lastone is on the fourth). Just make sure youleave a break in your studying to come outto the ar tonight For those of you whoare done midterms, I hope you'll be out infull force, decked out in your best Halloween apparel.

We now have a fax machine in the orifice. The fax number is (519) 725-4872.Once we determine the operating costs ofthe machine and devise a way to organizepublic faxes, we will be opening the serviceup to students. This shou ld be in place bymid-November. Another addition to theorifice is a new set of shelves we boughtfor the back room. Things are finally starting to look a little better in there, buildingon our work toward a more professionaloffice.

/ / The FEDS are looking at a new idea for acampus-wide exam bank to be kept atCopy Plus in the student life center (campus center). They are going to beapproaching profs from all departments tosubmit old finals, and will copy exams(and answers, when they can get 'em) on aper order basis for pickup the next day.This should ensure higher quality originals, and provide students with a centrallocation to get old exams for all their courses. We'll still keep our exam bank in theorifice, but the FEDS bank will be anotherresource. They're trying to get it ready forthis December's exams, otherwise itshould be available in January.

The FEDS are also looking at changingtheir pub booking policy. Currently, eachsociety on campus can only book one FED

pub event per term (ours is Tal Eng). Thiswas set up in the days when both FED andthe Bombshelter had lineups almost everynight. Under the proposed new rules, allsocietieswill get one initial booking to picktheir favorite date /time, and then oncethose are set, societies will be free to applyfor any other nights they would like a pubnight in a FED establishmentIn engineering, you can look forward toa few more changes to the C&D and CPHfoyer over the Christmas holidays. We aregoing to scrap the whiteboard in the foyerand replace it with the Market Sourceboard (red blinky sign by the C&D). Then ,we're going to be installing a new sign infront of the C&D to help publicity and tolist pop of the week, soup of the day, andother announce ments. Finally, the insideof the C&D will change a little becausewe're going to push the steps to Mary'sofficeback into the corner a little more, andmake a new coffee/tea setup that will promote easier traffic flow. These changeswill also eliminate the nasty task of havingto clean under the metal steps, since thenew oneswill be solid.

The issues relating to the TOOL bearersare still not resolved. At the time of writing this article, I am still waiting for wordfrom the Dean's office on the outcome ofthe last Academic Policy Committee meeting. By today, the contest for a new bearer'look' will be closed so you should knowthe results fairly soon.

That's it for now. f you have any comments or questions, e-mail me ateng pre2f@naoiceJason an ykPresident
