SOlan Tornado Strikes ArboretuOl D uring the afternoon of May I a small

to rnado struck the fi ve-acre wh ite pine plantation in the northeast corner of the Uni versity A rboretum s Victoria Woods (corner of College Avenue and Victoria Road

South) T he damage ~as devastating the 78-year-uld pines were broke n like matchsticks o r wind-thrown in a fin ge r pattern away fro m the western edge of the plantatio n

For the Arboretum the loss is a very serious one not least because of the h ist ric importance of th is plantation w hich was planted in 190 5 by the late Dr Edmu nd John Zavi tl OACs firs t professor of Fores try who

ta ught Farm-Fores try and o perated a fores t tree nursery on ca mpus from 1904 to 19 12 Edmund Zav itz graduated fro m McMaster Universi ty in 1903 and obtained an M Sc degree in Forestry at Michigan Uni versity in 1905

His appointment to the OAC res ulted from ac ti vities by the O ntario Agricul tural and Experi menta l Union which in a 1902 resulushy

tion to the Ontario Guvernment requested that material s sufficient to refores t areas

sufficiently large to provide forest conditions in typica l situations throughout Ontar io be

made available The Union was chaired by the late Professor C harles A Zavitz a d is tant

relati ve of Ed mund Zavitz and one of the group of students of the O AC to receive the

degree of B S A in its first graduating cl ass o f 1888 and who immediately joined the OAC faculty

Recognized as the father of reforestashytion in O ntario Edmund Za vi tz became

Provinc ial Fo rester in the Department of Lands Forests and M ines in 1912

Fac d with the de vastation Arbore tu m

Di rector Erik Jorgensen was also faced w ith thc proble m of wha t to do about it

My firs t reaction was the same as that

ex pressed to me by Profe ssor Daviu Sm ith o f the Department of Botany and Genetics - let nature take its course W hat we have is the

co nsequence of a natural catastrophe and as such con stitutes a useful example for teaching

purposes If left essentially as is with only removal of the tree s blocking the walking trail s through the area the natural regenerative proce sses could be documented over time

and would eventually provide information useful to Arboretum personnel and for teaching

purposes However a close examination by Erik and

his staff has confi rmed th at the fallen trees have considerable val ue and if retrieved through a lumbering operation would provide sufficient fund s to co ver the cost of c lean-up and

replanting with maybe so me funds left ove r for o ther Arboretum developments

Therefore the decision has been mad e - that the plantation should preferably beco me an extension of the ex isting adj acent

sugar maple woodlot which by stand ard is small as it stands today

Other factors that led to this decision inc lude the poss ibility that the present condishytion would lead to continued storm damage as a large number o f trees are on theirway down o r ha ve very thlll crowns which will break

Also leaving the pine as is pose s a hazard to other co nifers in the Arboretum as one might expect a large build-up of bark beetles Ips pini amon~ o thers capable of killing he althy trees when they occur in large numbers

One stro ng factur was the recognition that the section o f the Arboretum affected is the focal po int of publ ic programs and shuuld be

aesthetically pleasing The U nivers ity does ha ve at present the large wooded section

so uth of the Stone Road as a natural area w here nature is allowed to take its cou rse

It is planned to establish a cover crop of ha rdwoods and subseque ntly underplant w ith

sugar maple in two or three years This technique is an experimental one and CQuld be of importance to southern O ntario where the Minis try of Natura l Resources at prese nt has ve ry little ad vice fo r farmers who wan t to extend sugar bush o perations

Pauline StepsDoWD An intervie w with Dr Pauline McGibbon by Andrea Mudry Fawcett

A In stepping down as Chancellor you are leaving people at the niversity of Guelph with many memories including your rather spectacular arrival in 1977 in horsemiddotdrawn land au and the time you took off from convocation in a helicopter What memorie s of the University will you take away with you

P Well I will certainl y remember the beautiful campu s and the friendline ss of everybody At Guelph s Board of Governors meetings I was struck by the vast difference between what was almost a famil y affair as compared to the Governing Council at the Uni versit y of Toronto where [ was pre viously Chancellor really liked the meetings of the Board of Governors at Guelph The meetings at Toronto

are so much larger with people sitting in rows in a room Perhaps you feel more intimidated to get up and speak Not that that ever applies to me

A As Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario and Chancellor of two uni versities you have fulfilled role s which involve a fair amount of pomp and circum stance Do you feel that there is a place in the modern world for such ceremonie s

P Yes I feel very strongl y about that about graduati on ceremonies for example That is one time when a university publicly pays tr ibute to student s for what they have achieved Perhaps for the first time the graduates and

their families are going to see that they are now part of an ac ademic tradition I would like to compliment Gudph on the way the faculty turns out for graduation Because the acauemic procession as it enters with faculty members in co lourful gowns robes and ca ps from uni vcrsities around the world adds greatl y to

the ceremo ny It s awfully nice to ee such colour to hear the orches tra and that excellent choir you ha ve I rea ll y love the graduation cere mony

A How did you develop th is feeling fo r tradition ) Did the fac t that you studied hi story at uni versity co ntribute to thi s apprec iation)

P Really I think it s my sense of theatre Tha t~ o ff the top of my head because [ ve

never thought about the que stion before But I do ha ve a tendency whether it s in a church a

uni ve rsity the leg isl ature or the House of Commons of always see ing ceremonies with that theat ri cal look behind my eye People should be able to feel that they are taking part in a meaningful occas ion

A So it is not mere ly a question of staging a ceremony but ol really undeliining the fact that th is ri tual is part of an important tradition The theatric s then become mainl y a means of helping to convey that fact Did your family haw a strong sense of tradition

P I dont know that [ was really conscious of such things before atte nding uni ve rs it y Whil e growing up in Sarnia I doubt very much that I was co nsc ious of tradi tions Perhaps it started during my univerSity years

You must reme mber that [ came from a communit y of about IS 000 to the Uni ve rsity of Toronto where I lived in residence I was just so w ide-eyed Eve rything seemed so glamorous You know I came down with money fr om my grandfather who said I was not to sta y if I didn t like it Before I left he gave me the trai n fare home You see I was co mpletely spoil ed Of course I just loved it

A T he fac t th at you were Ontari os Lieutenant-Governor while you were the Chancellor at Guelph ce rtai nly me ant that you were busy But also as Her Majesty the Queen s offi c ial representative yo u were not free to speak on education oron politics Would you care to comment on the state of educati on now

P Well heal th and education are making terrifi c finan cial demands on provincial budgets J get completel y torn between wanting to see more money in both en velopes if you want to put it that way Im rea lly concerned about the l ack of money for our uni versities I think that they re right down to the bone and Im concerned about the fu ture If things dont improve then were goi ng to lose our staff to

Dual Income Families

Presstires and

By Mary Cocivera

A stroll through a typical neighbourhood

shatters any illusions about mothers stayin g at home with their young children

Most neighbo urhoods that a decade ago

would ha ve been bu stling with coffee klatches

neighbours visiting over the fence and back yards full of children playing are now all but deserted during the week

Young mo thers are not home with their

preschool children Instead they are in shops factories and offices working to help stretch

their families budgets Women particularly mothers of young

children are working outside the home in increasing numbers In 1971 in two-parent

families 38 pe r cent of mothers with children

under 16 worked outside the home By 1977 that proportion had increased to 58 per cent

The increases are even more dramatic for

women with children under s ix years old the

gro up traditio nally portrayed as staying home with their preschool children F ro m 1971 to 1977 the proportion of these mothers from

two-parent familie s who worked outside the home rose from 41 per cent to 51 per cent

Participation in the labour force has

increased steadily fo r all women since 1960 when fewer than 30 per cent of women over 25 were in the labo ur force By 1982 more than 48

per cent of the same group worked outside the home Further inc reases are prOjected until at least 1985 Canadas Families a doc ument

based on the 1976 census reported that in 54 per cent of families both spouses were working

o llts ide the home

Payoffs Why the Change

Women have been entering the labour

force for a variety of reasons economic ami otherwise Professor Kathleen Brown a family

economist in the Department of Family Studies suggests that soc ial pressures have

pushed many women particularly those in middle-age withgrown children out of the

house and in searc h of self-fulfillment Some of these women ma y feel theyre

missing something by staying at home when most of their peers are working outs ide the home and have their own discretionary income

Hard cold ca sh is the reason behind most womens decision to work o utside the homc Young families are particularly vulnerable to

economic upheaval s Profess or Brown explains because their expenses peak before their incomes

Many young two-income couples stretched their budgets in the early 1970s to

purchase a hou se with the expectatio n that their inco mes would rise and the payments would beco me increasingly eas ier to make

Then interest rates soared they had to renew

their mortgages at much higher rates and their la rger monthly payments s till needed two or mo re incomes to meet those payments

Wives who intended to stop working outside the home to have a family suddenly

realized that they wo uld have to keep working to keep the family home They were counting

on continued economic growth and on inflatio n eas ing their debt burden observe Professor Brown but they didn t allow enough flexibility to adjust to developments like the

unexpectedly high mortgage rates Some middle c la ss home owners may

actually be worse off no w than they were in the early 1970s according to consumer economist

10

Professor W ill iam Frisbee from the De partment of Consumer Studies T his problem is likely to be particularly aeu te among families who purchased homes in the 1970s W hat has caught families in the wild t1uctuation

in interest rates We can no longer ant icipate what the situation will be like in th ree or four years Conside ring that buying a house is a 25shyto 30-year proposilion this uncertainty can really put families in a bind

Wives who work outside the home have not only saved many a family home but they have kept low income families above the poverty line Women and Poverty a report

by the National Council of Welfare published in 1979 estimates that 52 per cent more two- spouse income families would fall below

the poverty line if the wives did not work outs ide the home

Wives who work outside the home

represent all social and economic strata from the lowest income families to the very highest

Many wives who are pursuing life-long careers always expected to work outside the home and

they married men who supported their ambitions

At the other extre me are women who

never planned to work outside the hom or who intended to stop working outside the home if children arrived These women frequently married men who believe that the husband

should be able to provide for his family W hen these women venture outside the

home to work there can be tremendous conflict

between the traditional values and the financial

necess ity of going out to work Their husbands often feel that their role as famil y head and bread w inner is being undermined They have d iffi culty cop ing with their wives increased independence and economic clout the wives try to live both the traditional role and carry on with thei r jobs

Far-Reaching Benefits Women enter the labour force for

monetary reasons bu t o ft en the payo ffs go far beyond the economic The late Professor A nne Cal laga n who was a soci al worker and

soc iolog ist in the Department of Family Stud ies believed that women be nefi t psychologically and that marriages can be stre ngthe ned whe n both part ne rs work outside the home Ci ting a study about the

decision-making process in famili es she observed that most couples start married life

with an equal rights relationship The wife s input into important decisions

reaches its lowest point when she is stuck at home with small children As the children get older and more independent the wife regains

some of her say in family dec isions but her input never reaches the level she enjoyed a t the beg inning of the marriage A wife who works outside the home maintains her influence in

decision- mak ing throughout the marriage With both partners working husband and

wifc are forced to communicate more and to work out the often complex arrangements for the care of the children Increased comshy

municat ion leads to more companionship In the trad it ional family with a husband who

has a job and a wife who does not work outside the home the wife organizes the children and the couple s social life

In many cases she and her husband operate in completely different spheres and communication declines Many of these marriages flounder in mid-life because there is little in the way of common interest after the

children leave home Many observers have linked marriage

failure to economic woes and to women

working outside the home Professor Callagan challenged this link The wife by working

helps combat one of the biggest sources of stress faced by married couples - money

Professor Frisbee wonders whether marital problems that have been blamed on

fi nancial woes are really caused at least in part

by isolation and loneliness [n geographically mobile societies young

couples often move away from both fam ily and friends and sell Ie in communities where they

have no close personal ties with other peo ple Whe n the pressures of jobs child care arrangeshyments and finances become too much to handle such familie s cannot call on parents

grandparents brothers and sisters and long-established friends T he pressure s become

in te rnal ized to the im mediate family and the relationship cracks under the stress

In spite of the pressures and demands of a job outside the home a wife enjoys personal

benefi ts according to Professor Callagan By contributing in a concrete visible way to purchasing the house (and the car and the food)

she earns the appreciation of her husband and chil dre and thus enhances her se lf esteem

By simply gelling out of the hou e a mother with ajob becomes more indep ndent builds a social life of her own and develops interes ts outside of he r house and fam il y All of

thi s adds up to beller mental health

Changing Roles If w ives are entering the labour force are

the ir husbands accepting more of the responsibi lity for raising the children and running the home

Roles at home have not changed as much

as some would expect Studies in Vancouver and Hal ifax found that men increase their house work and child care contributions by an average of one hour a week when their wives get jobs o utside the home

It appears that most men seem to make

their contributions in the more pleasant tasks such as putting the children to bed By and large the working mother s till has to contend wi th the laundry cleaning shopp ing cook ing and famil y scheduli ng If one of the chi ldren

gets s ick it is sti ll the mother who is usua lly

expected to adjust her schedule

Yet to come is a real sharing of the chore s around the house a perceptible shi ft in the division of labour at home

Wo men w ith jobs are no t limited to

mothers in two-parent families Divorced widowed and single women who mayor may not have children also compete for those jobs and face the same if not worse economic

pressures Wives with jobs outs ide the home

however are ojlel di smissed as not

economically important because many people assume (incorrectly) that they have husbands to

sUPflort them and their real job is to take care of the ir children

Todays thousa nds of moms who work

outside the home challenge this outmoded

notion Their pay cheques are as impo rtant a contribution to theirfamilies as their husbands

A report by the C anad ian Advisory

Council on the Statlls o f Women points out that between 1969 and 1979 the number of women in the labour force inc reased by 616 per cent with the g reatest gain being among mothers of young children

Between 1976 and 1980 according to the report the number of mothers with children under three who were in the labour force

increased by a staggering 276 per cent This raises important questions about societys ability to cope with these social changes

Some 15 or 20 years ago the mother who worked outside the home was the exception rather than the rule She could make arrangements with an obli g ing neighbour to

care for her chil d re n all Jay or to intercept them after sc hool and at lunch time

Today mothers without jobs are the

exception Find ing the obliging ne ighbour is becoming more diffic ult and famili es are making more fo rmal arrangements for day care and afte r school care In many cit ies however the re is not enough day care to fil l this demand

Here to Stay It has been pred icted tha t w ives will keep

working outs ide the ho me because they will have to Fami lies will become u ed to the com fort o f a two- income standard of l iv ing and will be unwilling or unable to g ive it up

The socia l forces that have led women in search of self fulfill me nt and equality in the work place w ill continue to influence womens

life work Many young girls still think of a job as a temporary situation but the reality is that being ma rried happily ever after is a myth for most women Women and Poverty points out th a 94 out of every 100 women marry but only 26 of them can expect to live w ith their

husbands until death Some 53 of the original 94 will become w idows and 15 will divorce or

separate Todays wives and mothers who work outs ide the home will be better prepared to

pursue life on their own if and when they

have to 0

The AMPUl Experience A Most Significant Training Program For Hospitality Industry Leaders By John Hearn

When The Univers ity of Guelphs Schoo l of Ho tel and Food Administration

Limited Accreditation for OVC The Ontario Veterinary College of the

University of Guelph has been accorded limited accreditation status by the American Veterinary Medical Association

(A VMA) President Donald Forster anshynounced in May

The decision by the Council of Edllcashytion of the A VMA is based on recommendashy

tions made in the report of an evaluation committee which visited the College for a

short period in October 1982 a report on which the University and the C ollege had an opportunity to comment Most errors of fact in the original report were corrected as a result of the UniversityS comments

This accreditation status means that ove meets or exceeds most but not all

minimal requirements for a satisfactory program in veterinary medicine at least in

the judgment of the Association Limited accreditation is a reduction in

s tatus from full accreditation a status which the College has held and which was

reconfirmed by a previous evaluation in L976 Similar decisions ha ve been made

by the AVMA in the past in the case of programs at other and well-established

veterinary colleges in the United States which faced problems similar to those we are experiencing at the OVC the Presishydent noted

L imited accreditation status may be

maintained for a period of up to five years on the basis of annual reports by the University and the College indicating that any deficiencies are in the process of being corrected At any time during the five-year period the University and the College may

invite the A VMA Council to make a new

evaluation hopefully leading to a return to full accreditation status

A number of factors are identified in

the report as a basis for the Councils decision Most important the report reshy

commends that a better balance between the financial resources and the programs of the College be achieved From this flow two major recommendations Construcshy

tion and renovation be initiated to correct inadequacies in classrooms laboratories

offices and clinical work spaces Also -faculty numbers and specialty expertise be increased and additional time be scheduled for professional development research and other scholarly pursuits

The report also suggests that the

number of support s taff be increased One option identified in the recommendations is

that student numbers be reduced until

conld over

15

adequate faculty numbers and physical facilitie s can be provided hnally some deficiencies in the area of postgraduate education are also identified

While the University and the College

are naturally disappointed by the Councils conclusions we are not entirely surprised President Forster commented Many of the deficiencies identified in the report have been matters of acute concern for some time and some steps have been taken already to remedy the problems some of which are simply the product of the chronic undershyfunding that Ontario universities have exshyperienced for a number of years

Under the circumstances I commend

the faculty and staff of the Ontario

Veterinary College for working so hard to maintain the reputation and integrity of the program and its graduates during this very difficult period

The President also noted that under A VMA procedures an elaborate appeal process is available to the University A decision has been taken not to appeal the Councils deision even though the Univershysity has reservations about some of the observations in the report

The recommendation s in the report will be reviewed very carefully by the

Uni versity and the College in the coming months the Pre sident indicated and every effort will be made to secure support from government and other sources to

remedy problems which have be e n identified In this connection I wish to

express again our gratitude to the Honourshyable Dennis Timbrel Ontario s Minister of Agriculture and Food for making available to the University special funding in the amount of $J8 million annually for a three-year period in support of programs at the OVe This suppOrt came at a particushylarly crucial time and was most welcomc

Recent discussion with Mr Timbrell and Agriculture Canada have indicated hoth sympathy for and understanding ot the capital needs of the College and there is every hope that substantial support will be forthcoming from both levels of go vernshyment President Forster concluded D

Director Industrial S ervices R onald J Dolynchuk has been appointed Director Indus trial Services for the U nivershysity of G uelph The appointment became effective April I 1983

He will provide a two-way contact between the Un iversity and industry says Dr William Tossell Dean of Research Dea n Tossell points out that Ronald Dolynshychuk will ass ume an integral role in the industrial interact ion strategy recently anshynounced by the University At the same time he will help acquaint University researchers with possible sources of reshysearch contracts and grants within the industria l sector

The new industrial services director says that he sees his ro le somewhat as that of a broker taking the research and te hshynological skills of the campus to inshydustry- Iocal ly provincially and nationshyally W ithin the campus he hopes to play the role of a catal st co-ordinating varied speci alized activities and preparing a marketable package of research and sershyvice attract ive to industry

He says that a campus such as the University of Guelph can offer a consortium of highly specialized and technological expertise to indu stry Such capability can prove to be a powerful factor in attracting new industry to the area he says This may be particularly true in the case of smaller industries that can seldom afford their own highly specialized research facilities

Initially the new director says he will especially target on industries with a direct relationship to those areas of expertise for which the University of Guelph is particushylarly well known These include such sectors as foods and beverage and bioshytechnology

I am especially interested in offering industry a broad-based multi-disciplinary

Ronald 1 Dolynchuk

approach to their problems through includshying such areas as the social sciences in a team of experts he says This would permit the Uni versity to prov ide more complete studies including market research and sociological considerations as well as

scientific or technological resources

The new director of industrial services is no stranger to the University of Guelph campus He has been teaching a course on Business Policy in the School of Agricul shytu ral Economics and Extension Education

Ronald Dolync h uk was most reshycently the sen ior vice- president and general managcr of Linread Canada Limited in Guelph He has worked in industry since 1969 in marketing and managc ment posishytions Born and raised in W innipeg he grauuated in business economics from Inshydiana Un iversity and received a Master of Business dm in islra tion uegree from the same university

Ronald Dolynchuk and his wife and thrce ch il dren have lived in G uelph since 1976 He has b en act ive in the Gue lph Chamber of Commerce the Ro tary Club of G uelph and has served on the Board of Direc tors of the Edward Johnson Mus ic Foundation the Guelph Arts Counci l the G uelph Youth O rchestra and the G ue lph Marlin Aquatic Cl ub He is a lso 1 regis tered soccer re te ree 0

Pauline StepsDoWD An intervie w with Dr Pauline McGibbon by Andrea Mudry Fawcett

A In stepping down as Chancellor you are leaving people at the niversity of Guelph with many memories including your rather spectacular arrival in 1977 in horsemiddotdrawn land au and the time you took off from convocation in a helicopter What memorie s of the University will you take away with you

P Well I will certainl y remember the beautiful campu s and the friendline ss of everybody At Guelph s Board of Governors meetings I was struck by the vast difference between what was almost a famil y affair as compared to the Governing Council at the Uni versit y of Toronto where [ was pre viously Chancellor really liked the meetings of the Board of Governors at Guelph The meetings at Toronto

are so much larger with people sitting in rows in a room Perhaps you feel more intimidated to get up and speak Not that that ever applies to me

A As Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario and Chancellor of two uni versities you have fulfilled role s which involve a fair amount of pomp and circum stance Do you feel that there is a place in the modern world for such ceremonie s

P Yes I feel very strongl y about that about graduati on ceremonies for example That is one time when a university publicly pays tr ibute to student s for what they have achieved Perhaps for the first time the graduates and

their families are going to see that they are now part of an ac ademic tradition I would like to compliment Gudph on the way the faculty turns out for graduation Because the acauemic procession as it enters with faculty members in co lourful gowns robes and ca ps from uni vcrsities around the world adds greatl y to

the ceremo ny It s awfully nice to ee such colour to hear the orches tra and that excellent choir you ha ve I rea ll y love the graduation cere mony

A How did you develop th is feeling fo r tradition ) Did the fac t that you studied hi story at uni versity co ntribute to thi s apprec iation)

P Really I think it s my sense of theatre Tha t~ o ff the top of my head because [ ve

never thought about the que stion before But I do ha ve a tendency whether it s in a church a

uni ve rsity the leg isl ature or the House of Commons of always see ing ceremonies with that theat ri cal look behind my eye People should be able to feel that they are taking part in a meaningful occas ion

A So it is not mere ly a question of staging a ceremony but ol really undeliining the fact that th is ri tual is part of an important tradition The theatric s then become mainl y a means of helping to convey that fact Did your family haw a strong sense of tradition

P I dont know that [ was really conscious of such things before atte nding uni ve rs it y Whil e growing up in Sarnia I doubt very much that I was co nsc ious of tradi tions Perhaps it started during my univerSity years

You must reme mber that [ came from a communit y of about IS 000 to the Uni ve rsity of Toronto where I lived in residence I was just so w ide-eyed Eve rything seemed so glamorous You know I came down with money fr om my grandfather who said I was not to sta y if I didn t like it Before I left he gave me the trai n fare home You see I was co mpletely spoil ed Of course I just loved it

A T he fac t th at you were Ontari os Lieutenant-Governor while you were the Chancellor at Guelph ce rtai nly me ant that you were busy But also as Her Majesty the Queen s offi c ial representative yo u were not free to speak on education oron politics Would you care to comment on the state of educati on now

P Well heal th and education are making terrifi c finan cial demands on provincial budgets J get completel y torn between wanting to see more money in both en velopes if you want to put it that way Im rea lly concerned about the l ack of money for our uni versities I think that they re right down to the bone and Im concerned about the fu ture If things dont improve then were goi ng to lose our staff to

Dual Income Families

Presstires and

By Mary Cocivera

A stroll through a typical neighbourhood

shatters any illusions about mothers stayin g at home with their young children

Most neighbo urhoods that a decade ago

would ha ve been bu stling with coffee klatches

neighbours visiting over the fence and back yards full of children playing are now all but deserted during the week

Young mo thers are not home with their

preschool children Instead they are in shops factories and offices working to help stretch

their families budgets Women particularly mothers of young

children are working outside the home in increasing numbers In 1971 in two-parent

families 38 pe r cent of mothers with children

under 16 worked outside the home By 1977 that proportion had increased to 58 per cent

The increases are even more dramatic for

women with children under s ix years old the

gro up traditio nally portrayed as staying home with their preschool children F ro m 1971 to 1977 the proportion of these mothers from

two-parent familie s who worked outside the home rose from 41 per cent to 51 per cent

Participation in the labour force has

increased steadily fo r all women since 1960 when fewer than 30 per cent of women over 25 were in the labo ur force By 1982 more than 48

per cent of the same group worked outside the home Further inc reases are prOjected until at least 1985 Canadas Families a doc ument

based on the 1976 census reported that in 54 per cent of families both spouses were working

o llts ide the home

Payoffs Why the Change

Women have been entering the labour

force for a variety of reasons economic ami otherwise Professor Kathleen Brown a family

economist in the Department of Family Studies suggests that soc ial pressures have

pushed many women particularly those in middle-age withgrown children out of the

house and in searc h of self-fulfillment Some of these women ma y feel theyre

missing something by staying at home when most of their peers are working outs ide the home and have their own discretionary income

Hard cold ca sh is the reason behind most womens decision to work o utside the homc Young families are particularly vulnerable to

economic upheaval s Profess or Brown explains because their expenses peak before their incomes

Many young two-income couples stretched their budgets in the early 1970s to

purchase a hou se with the expectatio n that their inco mes would rise and the payments would beco me increasingly eas ier to make

Then interest rates soared they had to renew

their mortgages at much higher rates and their la rger monthly payments s till needed two or mo re incomes to meet those payments

Wives who intended to stop working outside the home to have a family suddenly

realized that they wo uld have to keep working to keep the family home They were counting

on continued economic growth and on inflatio n eas ing their debt burden observe Professor Brown but they didn t allow enough flexibility to adjust to developments like the

unexpectedly high mortgage rates Some middle c la ss home owners may

actually be worse off no w than they were in the early 1970s according to consumer economist

10

Professor W ill iam Frisbee from the De partment of Consumer Studies T his problem is likely to be particularly aeu te among families who purchased homes in the 1970s W hat has caught families in the wild t1uctuation

in interest rates We can no longer ant icipate what the situation will be like in th ree or four years Conside ring that buying a house is a 25shyto 30-year proposilion this uncertainty can really put families in a bind

Wives who work outside the home have not only saved many a family home but they have kept low income families above the poverty line Women and Poverty a report

by the National Council of Welfare published in 1979 estimates that 52 per cent more two- spouse income families would fall below

the poverty line if the wives did not work outs ide the home

Wives who work outside the home

represent all social and economic strata from the lowest income families to the very highest

Many wives who are pursuing life-long careers always expected to work outside the home and

they married men who supported their ambitions

At the other extre me are women who

never planned to work outside the hom or who intended to stop working outside the home if children arrived These women frequently married men who believe that the husband

should be able to provide for his family W hen these women venture outside the

home to work there can be tremendous conflict

between the traditional values and the financial

necess ity of going out to work Their husbands often feel that their role as famil y head and bread w inner is being undermined They have d iffi culty cop ing with their wives increased independence and economic clout the wives try to live both the traditional role and carry on with thei r jobs

Far-Reaching Benefits Women enter the labour force for

monetary reasons bu t o ft en the payo ffs go far beyond the economic The late Professor A nne Cal laga n who was a soci al worker and

soc iolog ist in the Department of Family Stud ies believed that women be nefi t psychologically and that marriages can be stre ngthe ned whe n both part ne rs work outside the home Ci ting a study about the

decision-making process in famili es she observed that most couples start married life

with an equal rights relationship The wife s input into important decisions

reaches its lowest point when she is stuck at home with small children As the children get older and more independent the wife regains

some of her say in family dec isions but her input never reaches the level she enjoyed a t the beg inning of the marriage A wife who works outside the home maintains her influence in

decision- mak ing throughout the marriage With both partners working husband and

wifc are forced to communicate more and to work out the often complex arrangements for the care of the children Increased comshy

municat ion leads to more companionship In the trad it ional family with a husband who

has a job and a wife who does not work outside the home the wife organizes the children and the couple s social life

In many cases she and her husband operate in completely different spheres and communication declines Many of these marriages flounder in mid-life because there is little in the way of common interest after the

children leave home Many observers have linked marriage

failure to economic woes and to women

working outside the home Professor Callagan challenged this link The wife by working

helps combat one of the biggest sources of stress faced by married couples - money

Professor Frisbee wonders whether marital problems that have been blamed on

fi nancial woes are really caused at least in part

by isolation and loneliness [n geographically mobile societies young

couples often move away from both fam ily and friends and sell Ie in communities where they

have no close personal ties with other peo ple Whe n the pressures of jobs child care arrangeshyments and finances become too much to handle such familie s cannot call on parents

grandparents brothers and sisters and long-established friends T he pressure s become

in te rnal ized to the im mediate family and the relationship cracks under the stress

In spite of the pressures and demands of a job outside the home a wife enjoys personal

benefi ts according to Professor Callagan By contributing in a concrete visible way to purchasing the house (and the car and the food)

she earns the appreciation of her husband and chil dre and thus enhances her se lf esteem

By simply gelling out of the hou e a mother with ajob becomes more indep ndent builds a social life of her own and develops interes ts outside of he r house and fam il y All of

thi s adds up to beller mental health

Changing Roles If w ives are entering the labour force are

the ir husbands accepting more of the responsibi lity for raising the children and running the home

Roles at home have not changed as much

as some would expect Studies in Vancouver and Hal ifax found that men increase their house work and child care contributions by an average of one hour a week when their wives get jobs o utside the home

It appears that most men seem to make

their contributions in the more pleasant tasks such as putting the children to bed By and large the working mother s till has to contend wi th the laundry cleaning shopp ing cook ing and famil y scheduli ng If one of the chi ldren

gets s ick it is sti ll the mother who is usua lly

expected to adjust her schedule

Yet to come is a real sharing of the chore s around the house a perceptible shi ft in the division of labour at home

Wo men w ith jobs are no t limited to

mothers in two-parent families Divorced widowed and single women who mayor may not have children also compete for those jobs and face the same if not worse economic

pressures Wives with jobs outs ide the home

however are ojlel di smissed as not

economically important because many people assume (incorrectly) that they have husbands to

sUPflort them and their real job is to take care of the ir children

Todays thousa nds of moms who work

outside the home challenge this outmoded

notion Their pay cheques are as impo rtant a contribution to theirfamilies as their husbands

A report by the C anad ian Advisory

Council on the Statlls o f Women points out that between 1969 and 1979 the number of women in the labour force inc reased by 616 per cent with the g reatest gain being among mothers of young children

Between 1976 and 1980 according to the report the number of mothers with children under three who were in the labour force

increased by a staggering 276 per cent This raises important questions about societys ability to cope with these social changes

Some 15 or 20 years ago the mother who worked outside the home was the exception rather than the rule She could make arrangements with an obli g ing neighbour to

care for her chil d re n all Jay or to intercept them after sc hool and at lunch time

Today mothers without jobs are the

exception Find ing the obliging ne ighbour is becoming more diffic ult and famili es are making more fo rmal arrangements for day care and afte r school care In many cit ies however the re is not enough day care to fil l this demand

Here to Stay It has been pred icted tha t w ives will keep

working outs ide the ho me because they will have to Fami lies will become u ed to the com fort o f a two- income standard of l iv ing and will be unwilling or unable to g ive it up

The socia l forces that have led women in search of self fulfill me nt and equality in the work place w ill continue to influence womens

life work Many young girls still think of a job as a temporary situation but the reality is that being ma rried happily ever after is a myth for most women Women and Poverty points out th a 94 out of every 100 women marry but only 26 of them can expect to live w ith their

husbands until death Some 53 of the original 94 will become w idows and 15 will divorce or

separate Todays wives and mothers who work outs ide the home will be better prepared to

pursue life on their own if and when they

Limited Accreditation for OVC The Ontario Veterinary College of the

University of Guelph has been accorded limited accreditation status by the American Veterinary Medical Association

(A VMA) President Donald Forster anshynounced in May

The decision by the Council of Edllcashytion of the A VMA is based on recommendashy

tions made in the report of an evaluation committee which visited the College for a

short period in October 1982 a report on which the University and the C ollege had an opportunity to comment Most errors of fact in the original report were corrected as a result of the UniversityS comments

This accreditation status means that ove meets or exceeds most but not all

minimal requirements for a satisfactory program in veterinary medicine at least in

the judgment of the Association Limited accreditation is a reduction in

s tatus from full accreditation a status which the College has held and which was

reconfirmed by a previous evaluation in L976 Similar decisions ha ve been made

by the AVMA in the past in the case of programs at other and well-established

veterinary colleges in the United States which faced problems similar to those we are experiencing at the OVC the Presishydent noted

L imited accreditation status may be

maintained for a period of up to five years on the basis of annual reports by the University and the College indicating that any deficiencies are in the process of being corrected At any time during the five-year period the University and the College may

invite the A VMA Council to make a new

evaluation hopefully leading to a return to full accreditation status

A number of factors are identified in

the report as a basis for the Councils decision Most important the report reshy

commends that a better balance between the financial resources and the programs of the College be achieved From this flow two major recommendations Construcshy

tion and renovation be initiated to correct inadequacies in classrooms laboratories

offices and clinical work spaces Also -faculty numbers and specialty expertise be increased and additional time be scheduled for professional development research and other scholarly pursuits

The report also suggests that the

number of support s taff be increased One option identified in the recommendations is

that student numbers be reduced until

conld over

15

adequate faculty numbers and physical facilitie s can be provided hnally some deficiencies in the area of postgraduate education are also identified

While the University and the College

are naturally disappointed by the Councils conclusions we are not entirely surprised President Forster commented Many of the deficiencies identified in the report have been matters of acute concern for some time and some steps have been taken already to remedy the problems some of which are simply the product of the chronic undershyfunding that Ontario universities have exshyperienced for a number of years

Under the circumstances I commend

the faculty and staff of the Ontario

Veterinary College for working so hard to maintain the reputation and integrity of the program and its graduates during this very difficult period

The President also noted that under A VMA procedures an elaborate appeal process is available to the University A decision has been taken not to appeal the Councils deision even though the Univershysity has reservations about some of the observations in the report

The recommendation s in the report will be reviewed very carefully by the

Uni versity and the College in the coming months the Pre sident indicated and every effort will be made to secure support from government and other sources to

remedy problems which have be e n identified In this connection I wish to

express again our gratitude to the Honourshyable Dennis Timbrel Ontario s Minister of Agriculture and Food for making available to the University special funding in the amount of $J8 million annually for a three-year period in support of programs at the OVe This suppOrt came at a particushylarly crucial time and was most welcomc

Recent discussion with Mr Timbrell and Agriculture Canada have indicated hoth sympathy for and understanding ot the capital needs of the College and there is every hope that substantial support will be forthcoming from both levels of go vernshyment President Forster concluded D

Director Industrial S ervices R onald J Dolynchuk has been appointed Director Indus trial Services for the U nivershysity of G uelph The appointment became effective April I 1983

He will provide a two-way contact between the Un iversity and industry says Dr William Tossell Dean of Research Dea n Tossell points out that Ronald Dolynshychuk will ass ume an integral role in the industrial interact ion strategy recently anshynounced by the University At the same time he will help acquaint University researchers with possible sources of reshysearch contracts and grants within the industria l sector

The new industrial services director says that he sees his ro le somewhat as that of a broker taking the research and te hshynological skills of the campus to inshydustry- Iocal ly provincially and nationshyally W ithin the campus he hopes to play the role of a catal st co-ordinating varied speci alized activities and preparing a marketable package of research and sershyvice attract ive to industry

He says that a campus such as the University of Guelph can offer a consortium of highly specialized and technological expertise to indu stry Such capability can prove to be a powerful factor in attracting new industry to the area he says This may be particularly true in the case of smaller industries that can seldom afford their own highly specialized research facilities

Initially the new director says he will especially target on industries with a direct relationship to those areas of expertise for which the University of Guelph is particushylarly well known These include such sectors as foods and beverage and bioshytechnology

I am especially interested in offering industry a broad-based multi-disciplinary

Ronald 1 Dolynchuk

approach to their problems through includshying such areas as the social sciences in a team of experts he says This would permit the Uni versity to prov ide more complete studies including market research and sociological considerations as well as

Pauline StepsDoWD An intervie w with Dr Pauline McGibbon by Andrea Mudry Fawcett

A In stepping down as Chancellor you are leaving people at the niversity of Guelph with many memories including your rather spectacular arrival in 1977 in horsemiddotdrawn land au and the time you took off from convocation in a helicopter What memorie s of the University will you take away with you

P Well I will certainl y remember the beautiful campu s and the friendline ss of everybody At Guelph s Board of Governors meetings I was struck by the vast difference between what was almost a famil y affair as compared to the Governing Council at the Uni versit y of Toronto where [ was pre viously Chancellor really liked the meetings of the Board of Governors at Guelph The meetings at Toronto

are so much larger with people sitting in rows in a room Perhaps you feel more intimidated to get up and speak Not that that ever applies to me

A As Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario and Chancellor of two uni versities you have fulfilled role s which involve a fair amount of pomp and circum stance Do you feel that there is a place in the modern world for such ceremonie s

P Yes I feel very strongl y about that about graduati on ceremonies for example That is one time when a university publicly pays tr ibute to student s for what they have achieved Perhaps for the first time the graduates and

their families are going to see that they are now part of an ac ademic tradition I would like to compliment Gudph on the way the faculty turns out for graduation Because the acauemic procession as it enters with faculty members in co lourful gowns robes and ca ps from uni vcrsities around the world adds greatl y to

the ceremo ny It s awfully nice to ee such colour to hear the orches tra and that excellent choir you ha ve I rea ll y love the graduation cere mony

A How did you develop th is feeling fo r tradition ) Did the fac t that you studied hi story at uni versity co ntribute to thi s apprec iation)

P Really I think it s my sense of theatre Tha t~ o ff the top of my head because [ ve

never thought about the que stion before But I do ha ve a tendency whether it s in a church a

uni ve rsity the leg isl ature or the House of Commons of always see ing ceremonies with that theat ri cal look behind my eye People should be able to feel that they are taking part in a meaningful occas ion

A So it is not mere ly a question of staging a ceremony but ol really undeliining the fact that th is ri tual is part of an important tradition The theatric s then become mainl y a means of helping to convey that fact Did your family haw a strong sense of tradition

P I dont know that [ was really conscious of such things before atte nding uni ve rs it y Whil e growing up in Sarnia I doubt very much that I was co nsc ious of tradi tions Perhaps it started during my univerSity years

You must reme mber that [ came from a communit y of about IS 000 to the Uni ve rsity of Toronto where I lived in residence I was just so w ide-eyed Eve rything seemed so glamorous You know I came down with money fr om my grandfather who said I was not to sta y if I didn t like it Before I left he gave me the trai n fare home You see I was co mpletely spoil ed Of course I just loved it

A T he fac t th at you were Ontari os Lieutenant-Governor while you were the Chancellor at Guelph ce rtai nly me ant that you were busy But also as Her Majesty the Queen s offi c ial representative yo u were not free to speak on education oron politics Would you care to comment on the state of educati on now

P Well heal th and education are making terrifi c finan cial demands on provincial budgets J get completel y torn between wanting to see more money in both en velopes if you want to put it that way Im rea lly concerned about the l ack of money for our uni versities I think that they re right down to the bone and Im concerned about the fu ture If things dont improve then were goi ng to lose our staff to

Dual Income Families

Presstires and

By Mary Cocivera

A stroll through a typical neighbourhood

shatters any illusions about mothers stayin g at home with their young children

Most neighbo urhoods that a decade ago

would ha ve been bu stling with coffee klatches

neighbours visiting over the fence and back yards full of children playing are now all but deserted during the week

Young mo thers are not home with their

preschool children Instead they are in shops factories and offices working to help stretch

their families budgets Women particularly mothers of young

children are working outside the home in increasing numbers In 1971 in two-parent

families 38 pe r cent of mothers with children

under 16 worked outside the home By 1977 that proportion had increased to 58 per cent

The increases are even more dramatic for

women with children under s ix years old the

gro up traditio nally portrayed as staying home with their preschool children F ro m 1971 to 1977 the proportion of these mothers from

two-parent familie s who worked outside the home rose from 41 per cent to 51 per cent

Participation in the labour force has

increased steadily fo r all women since 1960 when fewer than 30 per cent of women over 25 were in the labo ur force By 1982 more than 48

per cent of the same group worked outside the home Further inc reases are prOjected until at least 1985 Canadas Families a doc ument

based on the 1976 census reported that in 54 per cent of families both spouses were working

o llts ide the home

Payoffs Why the Change

Women have been entering the labour

force for a variety of reasons economic ami otherwise Professor Kathleen Brown a family

economist in the Department of Family Studies suggests that soc ial pressures have

pushed many women particularly those in middle-age withgrown children out of the

house and in searc h of self-fulfillment Some of these women ma y feel theyre

missing something by staying at home when most of their peers are working outs ide the home and have their own discretionary income

Hard cold ca sh is the reason behind most womens decision to work o utside the homc Young families are particularly vulnerable to

economic upheaval s Profess or Brown explains because their expenses peak before their incomes

Many young two-income couples stretched their budgets in the early 1970s to

purchase a hou se with the expectatio n that their inco mes would rise and the payments would beco me increasingly eas ier to make

Then interest rates soared they had to renew

their mortgages at much higher rates and their la rger monthly payments s till needed two or mo re incomes to meet those payments

Wives who intended to stop working outside the home to have a family suddenly

realized that they wo uld have to keep working to keep the family home They were counting

on continued economic growth and on inflatio n eas ing their debt burden observe Professor Brown but they didn t allow enough flexibility to adjust to developments like the

unexpectedly high mortgage rates Some middle c la ss home owners may

actually be worse off no w than they were in the early 1970s according to consumer economist

10

Professor W ill iam Frisbee from the De partment of Consumer Studies T his problem is likely to be particularly aeu te among families who purchased homes in the 1970s W hat has caught families in the wild t1uctuation

in interest rates We can no longer ant icipate what the situation will be like in th ree or four years Conside ring that buying a house is a 25shyto 30-year proposilion this uncertainty can really put families in a bind

Wives who work outside the home have not only saved many a family home but they have kept low income families above the poverty line Women and Poverty a report

by the National Council of Welfare published in 1979 estimates that 52 per cent more two- spouse income families would fall below

the poverty line if the wives did not work outs ide the home

Wives who work outside the home

represent all social and economic strata from the lowest income families to the very highest

Many wives who are pursuing life-long careers always expected to work outside the home and

they married men who supported their ambitions

At the other extre me are women who

never planned to work outside the hom or who intended to stop working outside the home if children arrived These women frequently married men who believe that the husband

should be able to provide for his family W hen these women venture outside the

home to work there can be tremendous conflict

between the traditional values and the financial

necess ity of going out to work Their husbands often feel that their role as famil y head and bread w inner is being undermined They have d iffi culty cop ing with their wives increased independence and economic clout the wives try to live both the traditional role and carry on with thei r jobs

Far-Reaching Benefits Women enter the labour force for

monetary reasons bu t o ft en the payo ffs go far beyond the economic The late Professor A nne Cal laga n who was a soci al worker and

soc iolog ist in the Department of Family Stud ies believed that women be nefi t psychologically and that marriages can be stre ngthe ned whe n both part ne rs work outside the home Ci ting a study about the

decision-making process in famili es she observed that most couples start married life

with an equal rights relationship The wife s input into important decisions

reaches its lowest point when she is stuck at home with small children As the children get older and more independent the wife regains

some of her say in family dec isions but her input never reaches the level she enjoyed a t the beg inning of the marriage A wife who works outside the home maintains her influence in

decision- mak ing throughout the marriage With both partners working husband and

wifc are forced to communicate more and to work out the often complex arrangements for the care of the children Increased comshy

municat ion leads to more companionship In the trad it ional family with a husband who

has a job and a wife who does not work outside the home the wife organizes the children and the couple s social life

In many cases she and her husband operate in completely different spheres and communication declines Many of these marriages flounder in mid-life because there is little in the way of common interest after the

children leave home Many observers have linked marriage

failure to economic woes and to women

working outside the home Professor Callagan challenged this link The wife by working

helps combat one of the biggest sources of stress faced by married couples - money

Professor Frisbee wonders whether marital problems that have been blamed on

fi nancial woes are really caused at least in part

by isolation and loneliness [n geographically mobile societies young

couples often move away from both fam ily and friends and sell Ie in communities where they

have no close personal ties with other peo ple Whe n the pressures of jobs child care arrangeshyments and finances become too much to handle such familie s cannot call on parents

grandparents brothers and sisters and long-established friends T he pressure s become

in te rnal ized to the im mediate family and the relationship cracks under the stress

In spite of the pressures and demands of a job outside the home a wife enjoys personal

benefi ts according to Professor Callagan By contributing in a concrete visible way to purchasing the house (and the car and the food)

she earns the appreciation of her husband and chil dre and thus enhances her se lf esteem

By simply gelling out of the hou e a mother with ajob becomes more indep ndent builds a social life of her own and develops interes ts outside of he r house and fam il y All of

thi s adds up to beller mental health

Changing Roles If w ives are entering the labour force are

the ir husbands accepting more of the responsibi lity for raising the children and running the home

Roles at home have not changed as much

as some would expect Studies in Vancouver and Hal ifax found that men increase their house work and child care contributions by an average of one hour a week when their wives get jobs o utside the home

It appears that most men seem to make

their contributions in the more pleasant tasks such as putting the children to bed By and large the working mother s till has to contend wi th the laundry cleaning shopp ing cook ing and famil y scheduli ng If one of the chi ldren

gets s ick it is sti ll the mother who is usua lly

expected to adjust her schedule

Yet to come is a real sharing of the chore s around the house a perceptible shi ft in the division of labour at home

Wo men w ith jobs are no t limited to

mothers in two-parent families Divorced widowed and single women who mayor may not have children also compete for those jobs and face the same if not worse economic

pressures Wives with jobs outs ide the home

however are ojlel di smissed as not

economically important because many people assume (incorrectly) that they have husbands to

sUPflort them and their real job is to take care of the ir children

Todays thousa nds of moms who work

outside the home challenge this outmoded

notion Their pay cheques are as impo rtant a contribution to theirfamilies as their husbands

A report by the C anad ian Advisory

Council on the Statlls o f Women points out that between 1969 and 1979 the number of women in the labour force inc reased by 616 per cent with the g reatest gain being among mothers of young children

Between 1976 and 1980 according to the report the number of mothers with children under three who were in the labour force

increased by a staggering 276 per cent This raises important questions about societys ability to cope with these social changes

Some 15 or 20 years ago the mother who worked outside the home was the exception rather than the rule She could make arrangements with an obli g ing neighbour to

care for her chil d re n all Jay or to intercept them after sc hool and at lunch time

Today mothers without jobs are the

exception Find ing the obliging ne ighbour is becoming more diffic ult and famili es are making more fo rmal arrangements for day care and afte r school care In many cit ies however the re is not enough day care to fil l this demand

Here to Stay It has been pred icted tha t w ives will keep

working outs ide the ho me because they will have to Fami lies will become u ed to the com fort o f a two- income standard of l iv ing and will be unwilling or unable to g ive it up

The socia l forces that have led women in search of self fulfill me nt and equality in the work place w ill continue to influence womens

life work Many young girls still think of a job as a temporary situation but the reality is that being ma rried happily ever after is a myth for most women Women and Poverty points out th a 94 out of every 100 women marry but only 26 of them can expect to live w ith their

husbands until death Some 53 of the original 94 will become w idows and 15 will divorce or

separate Todays wives and mothers who work outs ide the home will be better prepared to

pursue life on their own if and when they

The curriculum was programmed in detail fro m 630 am through 1000 pm every day The gt[re nuous nature o t the intellectual demands left the partic ipants with ne ither the time or the energy to do very much in the way of fending for themsel ves Another important constraint was that eve ry activity formal and informal had to be structured in such a way as to be conducive to mainwinin g continuous dialogue betwee n the paI1icipanh at all times

Limited Accreditation for OVC The Ontario Veterinary College of the

University of Guelph has been accorded limited accreditation status by the American Veterinary Medical Association

(A VMA) President Donald Forster anshynounced in May

The decision by the Council of Edllcashytion of the A VMA is based on recommendashy

tions made in the report of an evaluation committee which visited the College for a

short period in October 1982 a report on which the University and the C ollege had an opportunity to comment Most errors of fact in the original report were corrected as a result of the UniversityS comments

This accreditation status means that ove meets or exceeds most but not all

minimal requirements for a satisfactory program in veterinary medicine at least in

the judgment of the Association Limited accreditation is a reduction in

s tatus from full accreditation a status which the College has held and which was

reconfirmed by a previous evaluation in L976 Similar decisions ha ve been made

by the AVMA in the past in the case of programs at other and well-established

veterinary colleges in the United States which faced problems similar to those we are experiencing at the OVC the Presishydent noted

L imited accreditation status may be

maintained for a period of up to five years on the basis of annual reports by the University and the College indicating that any deficiencies are in the process of being corrected At any time during the five-year period the University and the College may

invite the A VMA Council to make a new

evaluation hopefully leading to a return to full accreditation status

A number of factors are identified in

the report as a basis for the Councils decision Most important the report reshy

commends that a better balance between the financial resources and the programs of the College be achieved From this flow two major recommendations Construcshy

tion and renovation be initiated to correct inadequacies in classrooms laboratories

offices and clinical work spaces Also -faculty numbers and specialty expertise be increased and additional time be scheduled for professional development research and other scholarly pursuits

The report also suggests that the

number of support s taff be increased One option identified in the recommendations is

that student numbers be reduced until

conld over

15

adequate faculty numbers and physical facilitie s can be provided hnally some deficiencies in the area of postgraduate education are also identified

While the University and the College

are naturally disappointed by the Councils conclusions we are not entirely surprised President Forster commented Many of the deficiencies identified in the report have been matters of acute concern for some time and some steps have been taken already to remedy the problems some of which are simply the product of the chronic undershyfunding that Ontario universities have exshyperienced for a number of years

Under the circumstances I commend

the faculty and staff of the Ontario

Veterinary College for working so hard to maintain the reputation and integrity of the program and its graduates during this very difficult period

The President also noted that under A VMA procedures an elaborate appeal process is available to the University A decision has been taken not to appeal the Councils deision even though the Univershysity has reservations about some of the observations in the report

The recommendation s in the report will be reviewed very carefully by the

Uni versity and the College in the coming months the Pre sident indicated and every effort will be made to secure support from government and other sources to

remedy problems which have be e n identified In this connection I wish to

express again our gratitude to the Honourshyable Dennis Timbrel Ontario s Minister of Agriculture and Food for making available to the University special funding in the amount of $J8 million annually for a three-year period in support of programs at the OVe This suppOrt came at a particushylarly crucial time and was most welcomc

Recent discussion with Mr Timbrell and Agriculture Canada have indicated hoth sympathy for and understanding ot the capital needs of the College and there is every hope that substantial support will be forthcoming from both levels of go vernshyment President Forster concluded D

Director Industrial S ervices R onald J Dolynchuk has been appointed Director Indus trial Services for the U nivershysity of G uelph The appointment became effective April I 1983

He will provide a two-way contact between the Un iversity and industry says Dr William Tossell Dean of Research Dea n Tossell points out that Ronald Dolynshychuk will ass ume an integral role in the industrial interact ion strategy recently anshynounced by the University At the same time he will help acquaint University researchers with possible sources of reshysearch contracts and grants within the industria l sector

The new industrial services director says that he sees his ro le somewhat as that of a broker taking the research and te hshynological skills of the campus to inshydustry- Iocal ly provincially and nationshyally W ithin the campus he hopes to play the role of a catal st co-ordinating varied speci alized activities and preparing a marketable package of research and sershyvice attract ive to industry

He says that a campus such as the University of Guelph can offer a consortium of highly specialized and technological expertise to indu stry Such capability can prove to be a powerful factor in attracting new industry to the area he says This may be particularly true in the case of smaller industries that can seldom afford their own highly specialized research facilities

Initially the new director says he will especially target on industries with a direct relationship to those areas of expertise for which the University of Guelph is particushylarly well known These include such sectors as foods and beverage and bioshytechnology

I am especially interested in offering industry a broad-based multi-disciplinary

Ronald 1 Dolynchuk

approach to their problems through includshying such areas as the social sciences in a team of experts he says This would permit the Uni versity to prov ide more complete studies including market research and sociological considerations as well as

scientific or technological resources

The new director of industrial services is no stranger to the University of Guelph campus He has been teaching a course on Business Policy in the School of Agricul shytu ral Economics and Extension Education

Ronald Dolync h uk was most reshycently the sen ior vice- president and general managcr of Linread Canada Limited in Guelph He has worked in industry since 1969 in marketing and managc ment posishytions Born and raised in W innipeg he grauuated in business economics from Inshydiana Un iversity and received a Master of Business dm in islra tion uegree from the same university

Ronald Dolynchuk and his wife and thrce ch il dren have lived in G uelph since 1976 He has b en act ive in the Gue lph Chamber of Commerce the Ro tary Club of G uelph and has served on the Board of Direc tors of the Edward Johnson Mus ic Foundation the Guelph Arts Counci l the G uelph Youth O rchestra and the G ue lph Marlin Aquatic Cl ub He is a lso 1 regis tered soccer re te ree 0

Pauline StepsDoWD An intervie w with Dr Pauline McGibbon by Andrea Mudry Fawcett

A In stepping down as Chancellor you are leaving people at the niversity of Guelph with many memories including your rather spectacular arrival in 1977 in horsemiddotdrawn land au and the time you took off from convocation in a helicopter What memorie s of the University will you take away with you

P Well I will certainl y remember the beautiful campu s and the friendline ss of everybody At Guelph s Board of Governors meetings I was struck by the vast difference between what was almost a famil y affair as compared to the Governing Council at the Uni versit y of Toronto where [ was pre viously Chancellor really liked the meetings of the Board of Governors at Guelph The meetings at Toronto

are so much larger with people sitting in rows in a room Perhaps you feel more intimidated to get up and speak Not that that ever applies to me

A As Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario and Chancellor of two uni versities you have fulfilled role s which involve a fair amount of pomp and circum stance Do you feel that there is a place in the modern world for such ceremonie s

P Yes I feel very strongl y about that about graduati on ceremonies for example That is one time when a university publicly pays tr ibute to student s for what they have achieved Perhaps for the first time the graduates and

their families are going to see that they are now part of an ac ademic tradition I would like to compliment Gudph on the way the faculty turns out for graduation Because the acauemic procession as it enters with faculty members in co lourful gowns robes and ca ps from uni vcrsities around the world adds greatl y to

the ceremo ny It s awfully nice to ee such colour to hear the orches tra and that excellent choir you ha ve I rea ll y love the graduation cere mony

A How did you develop th is feeling fo r tradition ) Did the fac t that you studied hi story at uni versity co ntribute to thi s apprec iation)

P Really I think it s my sense of theatre Tha t~ o ff the top of my head because [ ve

never thought about the que stion before But I do ha ve a tendency whether it s in a church a

uni ve rsity the leg isl ature or the House of Commons of always see ing ceremonies with that theat ri cal look behind my eye People should be able to feel that they are taking part in a meaningful occas ion

A So it is not mere ly a question of staging a ceremony but ol really undeliining the fact that th is ri tual is part of an important tradition The theatric s then become mainl y a means of helping to convey that fact Did your family haw a strong sense of tradition

P I dont know that [ was really conscious of such things before atte nding uni ve rs it y Whil e growing up in Sarnia I doubt very much that I was co nsc ious of tradi tions Perhaps it started during my univerSity years

You must reme mber that [ came from a communit y of about IS 000 to the Uni ve rsity of Toronto where I lived in residence I was just so w ide-eyed Eve rything seemed so glamorous You know I came down with money fr om my grandfather who said I was not to sta y if I didn t like it Before I left he gave me the trai n fare home You see I was co mpletely spoil ed Of course I just loved it

A T he fac t th at you were Ontari os Lieutenant-Governor while you were the Chancellor at Guelph ce rtai nly me ant that you were busy But also as Her Majesty the Queen s offi c ial representative yo u were not free to speak on education oron politics Would you care to comment on the state of educati on now

P Well heal th and education are making terrifi c finan cial demands on provincial budgets J get completel y torn between wanting to see more money in both en velopes if you want to put it that way Im rea lly concerned about the l ack of money for our uni versities I think that they re right down to the bone and Im concerned about the fu ture If things dont improve then were goi ng to lose our staff to

Dual Income Families

Presstires and

By Mary Cocivera

A stroll through a typical neighbourhood

shatters any illusions about mothers stayin g at home with their young children

Most neighbo urhoods that a decade ago

would ha ve been bu stling with coffee klatches

neighbours visiting over the fence and back yards full of children playing are now all but deserted during the week

Young mo thers are not home with their

preschool children Instead they are in shops factories and offices working to help stretch

their families budgets Women particularly mothers of young

children are working outside the home in increasing numbers In 1971 in two-parent

families 38 pe r cent of mothers with children

under 16 worked outside the home By 1977 that proportion had increased to 58 per cent

The increases are even more dramatic for

women with children under s ix years old the

gro up traditio nally portrayed as staying home with their preschool children F ro m 1971 to 1977 the proportion of these mothers from

two-parent familie s who worked outside the home rose from 41 per cent to 51 per cent

Participation in the labour force has

increased steadily fo r all women since 1960 when fewer than 30 per cent of women over 25 were in the labo ur force By 1982 more than 48

per cent of the same group worked outside the home Further inc reases are prOjected until at least 1985 Canadas Families a doc ument

based on the 1976 census reported that in 54 per cent of families both spouses were working

o llts ide the home

Payoffs Why the Change

Women have been entering the labour

force for a variety of reasons economic ami otherwise Professor Kathleen Brown a family

economist in the Department of Family Studies suggests that soc ial pressures have

pushed many women particularly those in middle-age withgrown children out of the

house and in searc h of self-fulfillment Some of these women ma y feel theyre

missing something by staying at home when most of their peers are working outs ide the home and have their own discretionary income

Hard cold ca sh is the reason behind most womens decision to work o utside the homc Young families are particularly vulnerable to

economic upheaval s Profess or Brown explains because their expenses peak before their incomes

Many young two-income couples stretched their budgets in the early 1970s to

purchase a hou se with the expectatio n that their inco mes would rise and the payments would beco me increasingly eas ier to make

Then interest rates soared they had to renew

their mortgages at much higher rates and their la rger monthly payments s till needed two or mo re incomes to meet those payments

Wives who intended to stop working outside the home to have a family suddenly

realized that they wo uld have to keep working to keep the family home They were counting

on continued economic growth and on inflatio n eas ing their debt burden observe Professor Brown but they didn t allow enough flexibility to adjust to developments like the

unexpectedly high mortgage rates Some middle c la ss home owners may

actually be worse off no w than they were in the early 1970s according to consumer economist

10

Professor W ill iam Frisbee from the De partment of Consumer Studies T his problem is likely to be particularly aeu te among families who purchased homes in the 1970s W hat has caught families in the wild t1uctuation

in interest rates We can no longer ant icipate what the situation will be like in th ree or four years Conside ring that buying a house is a 25shyto 30-year proposilion this uncertainty can really put families in a bind

Wives who work outside the home have not only saved many a family home but they have kept low income families above the poverty line Women and Poverty a report

by the National Council of Welfare published in 1979 estimates that 52 per cent more two- spouse income families would fall below

the poverty line if the wives did not work outs ide the home

Wives who work outside the home

represent all social and economic strata from the lowest income families to the very highest

Many wives who are pursuing life-long careers always expected to work outside the home and

they married men who supported their ambitions

At the other extre me are women who

never planned to work outside the hom or who intended to stop working outside the home if children arrived These women frequently married men who believe that the husband

should be able to provide for his family W hen these women venture outside the

home to work there can be tremendous conflict

between the traditional values and the financial

necess ity of going out to work Their husbands often feel that their role as famil y head and bread w inner is being undermined They have d iffi culty cop ing with their wives increased independence and economic clout the wives try to live both the traditional role and carry on with thei r jobs

Far-Reaching Benefits Women enter the labour force for

monetary reasons bu t o ft en the payo ffs go far beyond the economic The late Professor A nne Cal laga n who was a soci al worker and

soc iolog ist in the Department of Family Stud ies believed that women be nefi t psychologically and that marriages can be stre ngthe ned whe n both part ne rs work outside the home Ci ting a study about the

decision-making process in famili es she observed that most couples start married life

with an equal rights relationship The wife s input into important decisions

reaches its lowest point when she is stuck at home with small children As the children get older and more independent the wife regains

some of her say in family dec isions but her input never reaches the level she enjoyed a t the beg inning of the marriage A wife who works outside the home maintains her influence in

decision- mak ing throughout the marriage With both partners working husband and

wifc are forced to communicate more and to work out the often complex arrangements for the care of the children Increased comshy

municat ion leads to more companionship In the trad it ional family with a husband who

has a job and a wife who does not work outside the home the wife organizes the children and the couple s social life

In many cases she and her husband operate in completely different spheres and communication declines Many of these marriages flounder in mid-life because there is little in the way of common interest after the

children leave home Many observers have linked marriage

failure to economic woes and to women

working outside the home Professor Callagan challenged this link The wife by working

helps combat one of the biggest sources of stress faced by married couples - money

Professor Frisbee wonders whether marital problems that have been blamed on

fi nancial woes are really caused at least in part

by isolation and loneliness [n geographically mobile societies young

couples often move away from both fam ily and friends and sell Ie in communities where they

have no close personal ties with other peo ple Whe n the pressures of jobs child care arrangeshyments and finances become too much to handle such familie s cannot call on parents

grandparents brothers and sisters and long-established friends T he pressure s become

in te rnal ized to the im mediate family and the relationship cracks under the stress

In spite of the pressures and demands of a job outside the home a wife enjoys personal

benefi ts according to Professor Callagan By contributing in a concrete visible way to purchasing the house (and the car and the food)

she earns the appreciation of her husband and chil dre and thus enhances her se lf esteem

By simply gelling out of the hou e a mother with ajob becomes more indep ndent builds a social life of her own and develops interes ts outside of he r house and fam il y All of

thi s adds up to beller mental health

Changing Roles If w ives are entering the labour force are

the ir husbands accepting more of the responsibi lity for raising the children and running the home

Roles at home have not changed as much

as some would expect Studies in Vancouver and Hal ifax found that men increase their house work and child care contributions by an average of one hour a week when their wives get jobs o utside the home

It appears that most men seem to make

their contributions in the more pleasant tasks such as putting the children to bed By and large the working mother s till has to contend wi th the laundry cleaning shopp ing cook ing and famil y scheduli ng If one of the chi ldren

gets s ick it is sti ll the mother who is usua lly

expected to adjust her schedule

Yet to come is a real sharing of the chore s around the house a perceptible shi ft in the division of labour at home

Wo men w ith jobs are no t limited to

mothers in two-parent families Divorced widowed and single women who mayor may not have children also compete for those jobs and face the same if not worse economic

pressures Wives with jobs outs ide the home

however are ojlel di smissed as not

economically important because many people assume (incorrectly) that they have husbands to

sUPflort them and their real job is to take care of the ir children

Todays thousa nds of moms who work

outside the home challenge this outmoded

notion Their pay cheques are as impo rtant a contribution to theirfamilies as their husbands

A report by the C anad ian Advisory

Council on the Statlls o f Women points out that between 1969 and 1979 the number of women in the labour force inc reased by 616 per cent with the g reatest gain being among mothers of young children

Between 1976 and 1980 according to the report the number of mothers with children under three who were in the labour force

increased by a staggering 276 per cent This raises important questions about societys ability to cope with these social changes

Some 15 or 20 years ago the mother who worked outside the home was the exception rather than the rule She could make arrangements with an obli g ing neighbour to

care for her chil d re n all Jay or to intercept them after sc hool and at lunch time

Today mothers without jobs are the

exception Find ing the obliging ne ighbour is becoming more diffic ult and famili es are making more fo rmal arrangements for day care and afte r school care In many cit ies however the re is not enough day care to fil l this demand

Here to Stay It has been pred icted tha t w ives will keep

working outs ide the ho me because they will have to Fami lies will become u ed to the com fort o f a two- income standard of l iv ing and will be unwilling or unable to g ive it up

The socia l forces that have led women in search of self fulfill me nt and equality in the work place w ill continue to influence womens

life work Many young girls still think of a job as a temporary situation but the reality is that being ma rried happily ever after is a myth for most women Women and Poverty points out th a 94 out of every 100 women marry but only 26 of them can expect to live w ith their

husbands until death Some 53 of the original 94 will become w idows and 15 will divorce or

separate Todays wives and mothers who work outs ide the home will be better prepared to

pursue life on their own if and when they

have to 0

Limited Accreditation for OVC The Ontario Veterinary College of the

University of Guelph has been accorded limited accreditation status by the American Veterinary Medical Association

(A VMA) President Donald Forster anshynounced in May

The decision by the Council of Edllcashytion of the A VMA is based on recommendashy

tions made in the report of an evaluation committee which visited the College for a

short period in October 1982 a report on which the University and the C ollege had an opportunity to comment Most errors of fact in the original report were corrected as a result of the UniversityS comments

This accreditation status means that ove meets or exceeds most but not all

minimal requirements for a satisfactory program in veterinary medicine at least in

the judgment of the Association Limited accreditation is a reduction in

s tatus from full accreditation a status which the College has held and which was

reconfirmed by a previous evaluation in L976 Similar decisions ha ve been made

by the AVMA in the past in the case of programs at other and well-established

veterinary colleges in the United States which faced problems similar to those we are experiencing at the OVC the Presishydent noted

L imited accreditation status may be

maintained for a period of up to five years on the basis of annual reports by the University and the College indicating that any deficiencies are in the process of being corrected At any time during the five-year period the University and the College may

invite the A VMA Council to make a new

evaluation hopefully leading to a return to full accreditation status

A number of factors are identified in

the report as a basis for the Councils decision Most important the report reshy

commends that a better balance between the financial resources and the programs of the College be achieved From this flow two major recommendations Construcshy

tion and renovation be initiated to correct inadequacies in classrooms laboratories

offices and clinical work spaces Also -faculty numbers and specialty expertise be increased and additional time be scheduled for professional development research and other scholarly pursuits

The report also suggests that the

number of support s taff be increased One option identified in the recommendations is

that student numbers be reduced until

conld over

15

adequate faculty numbers and physical facilitie s can be provided hnally some deficiencies in the area of postgraduate education are also identified

While the University and the College

are naturally disappointed by the Councils conclusions we are not entirely surprised President Forster commented Many of the deficiencies identified in the report have been matters of acute concern for some time and some steps have been taken already to remedy the problems some of which are simply the product of the chronic undershyfunding that Ontario universities have exshyperienced for a number of years

Under the circumstances I commend

the faculty and staff of the Ontario

Veterinary College for working so hard to maintain the reputation and integrity of the program and its graduates during this very difficult period

The President also noted that under A VMA procedures an elaborate appeal process is available to the University A decision has been taken not to appeal the Councils deision even though the Univershysity has reservations about some of the observations in the report

The recommendation s in the report will be reviewed very carefully by the

Uni versity and the College in the coming months the Pre sident indicated and every effort will be made to secure support from government and other sources to

remedy problems which have be e n identified In this connection I wish to

express again our gratitude to the Honourshyable Dennis Timbrel Ontario s Minister of Agriculture and Food for making available to the University special funding in the amount of $J8 million annually for a three-year period in support of programs at the OVe This suppOrt came at a particushylarly crucial time and was most welcomc

Recent discussion with Mr Timbrell and Agriculture Canada have indicated hoth sympathy for and understanding ot the capital needs of the College and there is every hope that substantial support will be forthcoming from both levels of go vernshyment President Forster concluded D

Director Industrial S ervices R onald J Dolynchuk has been appointed Director Indus trial Services for the U nivershysity of G uelph The appointment became effective April I 1983

He will provide a two-way contact between the Un iversity and industry says Dr William Tossell Dean of Research Dea n Tossell points out that Ronald Dolynshychuk will ass ume an integral role in the industrial interact ion strategy recently anshynounced by the University At the same time he will help acquaint University researchers with possible sources of reshysearch contracts and grants within the industria l sector

The new industrial services director says that he sees his ro le somewhat as that of a broker taking the research and te hshynological skills of the campus to inshydustry- Iocal ly provincially and nationshyally W ithin the campus he hopes to play the role of a catal st co-ordinating varied speci alized activities and preparing a marketable package of research and sershyvice attract ive to industry

He says that a campus such as the University of Guelph can offer a consortium of highly specialized and technological expertise to indu stry Such capability can prove to be a powerful factor in attracting new industry to the area he says This may be particularly true in the case of smaller industries that can seldom afford their own highly specialized research facilities

Initially the new director says he will especially target on industries with a direct relationship to those areas of expertise for which the University of Guelph is particushylarly well known These include such sectors as foods and beverage and bioshytechnology

I am especially interested in offering industry a broad-based multi-disciplinary

Ronald 1 Dolynchuk

approach to their problems through includshying such areas as the social sciences in a team of experts he says This would permit the Uni versity to prov ide more complete studies including market research and sociological considerations as well as

scientific or technological resources

The new director of industrial services is no stranger to the University of Guelph campus He has been teaching a course on Business Policy in the School of Agricul shytu ral Economics and Extension Education

Ronald Dolync h uk was most reshycently the sen ior vice- president and general managcr of Linread Canada Limited in Guelph He has worked in industry since 1969 in marketing and managc ment posishytions Born and raised in W innipeg he grauuated in business economics from Inshydiana Un iversity and received a Master of Business dm in islra tion uegree from the same university

Ronald Dolynchuk and his wife and thrce ch il dren have lived in G uelph since 1976 He has b en act ive in the Gue lph Chamber of Commerce the Ro tary Club of G uelph and has served on the Board of Direc tors of the Edward Johnson Mus ic Foundation the Guelph Arts Counci l the G uelph Youth O rchestra and the G ue lph Marlin Aquatic Cl ub He is a lso 1 regis tered soccer re te ree 0

Dual Income Families

Presstires and

By Mary Cocivera

A stroll through a typical neighbourhood

shatters any illusions about mothers stayin g at home with their young children

Most neighbo urhoods that a decade ago

would ha ve been bu stling with coffee klatches

neighbours visiting over the fence and back yards full of children playing are now all but deserted during the week

Young mo thers are not home with their

preschool children Instead they are in shops factories and offices working to help stretch

their families budgets Women particularly mothers of young

children are working outside the home in increasing numbers In 1971 in two-parent

families 38 pe r cent of mothers with children

under 16 worked outside the home By 1977 that proportion had increased to 58 per cent

The increases are even more dramatic for

women with children under s ix years old the

gro up traditio nally portrayed as staying home with their preschool children F ro m 1971 to 1977 the proportion of these mothers from

two-parent familie s who worked outside the home rose from 41 per cent to 51 per cent

Participation in the labour force has

increased steadily fo r all women since 1960 when fewer than 30 per cent of women over 25 were in the labo ur force By 1982 more than 48

per cent of the same group worked outside the home Further inc reases are prOjected until at least 1985 Canadas Families a doc ument

based on the 1976 census reported that in 54 per cent of families both spouses were working

o llts ide the home

Payoffs Why the Change

Women have been entering the labour

force for a variety of reasons economic ami otherwise Professor Kathleen Brown a family

economist in the Department of Family Studies suggests that soc ial pressures have

pushed many women particularly those in middle-age withgrown children out of the

house and in searc h of self-fulfillment Some of these women ma y feel theyre

missing something by staying at home when most of their peers are working outs ide the home and have their own discretionary income

Hard cold ca sh is the reason behind most womens decision to work o utside the homc Young families are particularly vulnerable to

economic upheaval s Profess or Brown explains because their expenses peak before their incomes

Many young two-income couples stretched their budgets in the early 1970s to

purchase a hou se with the expectatio n that their inco mes would rise and the payments would beco me increasingly eas ier to make

Then interest rates soared they had to renew

their mortgages at much higher rates and their la rger monthly payments s till needed two or mo re incomes to meet those payments

Wives who intended to stop working outside the home to have a family suddenly

realized that they wo uld have to keep working to keep the family home They were counting

on continued economic growth and on inflatio n eas ing their debt burden observe Professor Brown but they didn t allow enough flexibility to adjust to developments like the

unexpectedly high mortgage rates Some middle c la ss home owners may

actually be worse off no w than they were in the early 1970s according to consumer economist

10

Professor W ill iam Frisbee from the De partment of Consumer Studies T his problem is likely to be particularly aeu te among families who purchased homes in the 1970s W hat has caught families in the wild t1uctuation

in interest rates We can no longer ant icipate what the situation will be like in th ree or four years Conside ring that buying a house is a 25shyto 30-year proposilion this uncertainty can really put families in a bind

Wives who work outside the home have not only saved many a family home but they have kept low income families above the poverty line Women and Poverty a report

by the National Council of Welfare published in 1979 estimates that 52 per cent more two- spouse income families would fall below

the poverty line if the wives did not work outs ide the home

Wives who work outside the home

represent all social and economic strata from the lowest income families to the very highest

Many wives who are pursuing life-long careers always expected to work outside the home and

they married men who supported their ambitions

At the other extre me are women who

never planned to work outside the hom or who intended to stop working outside the home if children arrived These women frequently married men who believe that the husband

should be able to provide for his family W hen these women venture outside the

home to work there can be tremendous conflict

between the traditional values and the financial

necess ity of going out to work Their husbands often feel that their role as famil y head and bread w inner is being undermined They have d iffi culty cop ing with their wives increased independence and economic clout the wives try to live both the traditional role and carry on with thei r jobs

Far-Reaching Benefits Women enter the labour force for

monetary reasons bu t o ft en the payo ffs go far beyond the economic The late Professor A nne Cal laga n who was a soci al worker and

soc iolog ist in the Department of Family Stud ies believed that women be nefi t psychologically and that marriages can be stre ngthe ned whe n both part ne rs work outside the home Ci ting a study about the

decision-making process in famili es she observed that most couples start married life

with an equal rights relationship The wife s input into important decisions

reaches its lowest point when she is stuck at home with small children As the children get older and more independent the wife regains

some of her say in family dec isions but her input never reaches the level she enjoyed a t the beg inning of the marriage A wife who works outside the home maintains her influence in

decision- mak ing throughout the marriage With both partners working husband and

wifc are forced to communicate more and to work out the often complex arrangements for the care of the children Increased comshy

municat ion leads to more companionship In the trad it ional family with a husband who

has a job and a wife who does not work outside the home the wife organizes the children and the couple s social life

In many cases she and her husband operate in completely different spheres and communication declines Many of these marriages flounder in mid-life because there is little in the way of common interest after the

children leave home Many observers have linked marriage

failure to economic woes and to women

working outside the home Professor Callagan challenged this link The wife by working

helps combat one of the biggest sources of stress faced by married couples - money

Professor Frisbee wonders whether marital problems that have been blamed on

fi nancial woes are really caused at least in part

by isolation and loneliness [n geographically mobile societies young

couples often move away from both fam ily and friends and sell Ie in communities where they

have no close personal ties with other peo ple Whe n the pressures of jobs child care arrangeshyments and finances become too much to handle such familie s cannot call on parents

grandparents brothers and sisters and long-established friends T he pressure s become

in te rnal ized to the im mediate family and the relationship cracks under the stress

In spite of the pressures and demands of a job outside the home a wife enjoys personal

benefi ts according to Professor Callagan By contributing in a concrete visible way to purchasing the house (and the car and the food)

she earns the appreciation of her husband and chil dre and thus enhances her se lf esteem

By simply gelling out of the hou e a mother with ajob becomes more indep ndent builds a social life of her own and develops interes ts outside of he r house and fam il y All of

thi s adds up to beller mental health

Changing Roles If w ives are entering the labour force are

the ir husbands accepting more of the responsibi lity for raising the children and running the home

Roles at home have not changed as much

as some would expect Studies in Vancouver and Hal ifax found that men increase their house work and child care contributions by an average of one hour a week when their wives get jobs o utside the home

It appears that most men seem to make

their contributions in the more pleasant tasks such as putting the children to bed By and large the working mother s till has to contend wi th the laundry cleaning shopp ing cook ing and famil y scheduli ng If one of the chi ldren

gets s ick it is sti ll the mother who is usua lly

expected to adjust her schedule

Yet to come is a real sharing of the chore s around the house a perceptible shi ft in the division of labour at home

Wo men w ith jobs are no t limited to

mothers in two-parent families Divorced widowed and single women who mayor may not have children also compete for those jobs and face the same if not worse economic

pressures Wives with jobs outs ide the home

however are ojlel di smissed as not

economically important because many people assume (incorrectly) that they have husbands to

sUPflort them and their real job is to take care of the ir children

Todays thousa nds of moms who work

outside the home challenge this outmoded

notion Their pay cheques are as impo rtant a contribution to theirfamilies as their husbands

A report by the C anad ian Advisory

Council on the Statlls o f Women points out that between 1969 and 1979 the number of women in the labour force inc reased by 616 per cent with the g reatest gain being among mothers of young children

Between 1976 and 1980 according to the report the number of mothers with children under three who were in the labour force

increased by a staggering 276 per cent This raises important questions about societys ability to cope with these social changes

Some 15 or 20 years ago the mother who worked outside the home was the exception rather than the rule She could make arrangements with an obli g ing neighbour to

care for her chil d re n all Jay or to intercept them after sc hool and at lunch time

Today mothers without jobs are the

exception Find ing the obliging ne ighbour is becoming more diffic ult and famili es are making more fo rmal arrangements for day care and afte r school care In many cit ies however the re is not enough day care to fil l this demand

Here to Stay It has been pred icted tha t w ives will keep

working outs ide the ho me because they will have to Fami lies will become u ed to the com fort o f a two- income standard of l iv ing and will be unwilling or unable to g ive it up

The socia l forces that have led women in search of self fulfill me nt and equality in the work place w ill continue to influence womens

life work Many young girls still think of a job as a temporary situation but the reality is that being ma rried happily ever after is a myth for most women Women and Poverty points out th a 94 out of every 100 women marry but only 26 of them can expect to live w ith their

husbands until death Some 53 of the original 94 will become w idows and 15 will divorce or

separate Todays wives and mothers who work outs ide the home will be better prepared to

pursue life on their own if and when they

have to 0

The curriculum was programmed in detail fro m 630 am through 1000 pm every day The gt[re nuous nature o t the intellectual demands left the partic ipants with ne ither the time or the energy to do very much in the way of fending for themsel ves Another important constraint was that eve ry activity formal and informal had to be structured in such a way as to be conducive to mainwinin g continuous dialogue betwee n the paI1icipanh at all times

Limited Accreditation for OVC The Ontario Veterinary College of the

University of Guelph has been accorded limited accreditation status by the American Veterinary Medical Association

(A VMA) President Donald Forster anshynounced in May

The decision by the Council of Edllcashytion of the A VMA is based on recommendashy

tions made in the report of an evaluation committee which visited the College for a

short period in October 1982 a report on which the University and the C ollege had an opportunity to comment Most errors of fact in the original report were corrected as a result of the UniversityS comments

This accreditation status means that ove meets or exceeds most but not all

minimal requirements for a satisfactory program in veterinary medicine at least in

the judgment of the Association Limited accreditation is a reduction in

s tatus from full accreditation a status which the College has held and which was

reconfirmed by a previous evaluation in L976 Similar decisions ha ve been made

by the AVMA in the past in the case of programs at other and well-established

veterinary colleges in the United States which faced problems similar to those we are experiencing at the OVC the Presishydent noted

L imited accreditation status may be

maintained for a period of up to five years on the basis of annual reports by the University and the College indicating that any deficiencies are in the process of being corrected At any time during the five-year period the University and the College may

invite the A VMA Council to make a new

evaluation hopefully leading to a return to full accreditation status

A number of factors are identified in

the report as a basis for the Councils decision Most important the report reshy

commends that a better balance between the financial resources and the programs of the College be achieved From this flow two major recommendations Construcshy

tion and renovation be initiated to correct inadequacies in classrooms laboratories

offices and clinical work spaces Also -faculty numbers and specialty expertise be increased and additional time be scheduled for professional development research and other scholarly pursuits

The report also suggests that the

number of support s taff be increased One option identified in the recommendations is

that student numbers be reduced until

conld over

15

adequate faculty numbers and physical facilitie s can be provided hnally some deficiencies in the area of postgraduate education are also identified

While the University and the College

are naturally disappointed by the Councils conclusions we are not entirely surprised President Forster commented Many of the deficiencies identified in the report have been matters of acute concern for some time and some steps have been taken already to remedy the problems some of which are simply the product of the chronic undershyfunding that Ontario universities have exshyperienced for a number of years

Under the circumstances I commend

the faculty and staff of the Ontario

Veterinary College for working so hard to maintain the reputation and integrity of the program and its graduates during this very difficult period

The President also noted that under A VMA procedures an elaborate appeal process is available to the University A decision has been taken not to appeal the Councils deision even though the Univershysity has reservations about some of the observations in the report

The recommendation s in the report will be reviewed very carefully by the

Uni versity and the College in the coming months the Pre sident indicated and every effort will be made to secure support from government and other sources to

remedy problems which have be e n identified In this connection I wish to

express again our gratitude to the Honourshyable Dennis Timbrel Ontario s Minister of Agriculture and Food for making available to the University special funding in the amount of $J8 million annually for a three-year period in support of programs at the OVe This suppOrt came at a particushylarly crucial time and was most welcomc

Recent discussion with Mr Timbrell and Agriculture Canada have indicated hoth sympathy for and understanding ot the capital needs of the College and there is every hope that substantial support will be forthcoming from both levels of go vernshyment President Forster concluded D

Director Industrial S ervices R onald J Dolynchuk has been appointed Director Indus trial Services for the U nivershysity of G uelph The appointment became effective April I 1983

He will provide a two-way contact between the Un iversity and industry says Dr William Tossell Dean of Research Dea n Tossell points out that Ronald Dolynshychuk will ass ume an integral role in the industrial interact ion strategy recently anshynounced by the University At the same time he will help acquaint University researchers with possible sources of reshysearch contracts and grants within the industria l sector

The new industrial services director says that he sees his ro le somewhat as that of a broker taking the research and te hshynological skills of the campus to inshydustry- Iocal ly provincially and nationshyally W ithin the campus he hopes to play the role of a catal st co-ordinating varied speci alized activities and preparing a marketable package of research and sershyvice attract ive to industry

He says that a campus such as the University of Guelph can offer a consortium of highly specialized and technological expertise to indu stry Such capability can prove to be a powerful factor in attracting new industry to the area he says This may be particularly true in the case of smaller industries that can seldom afford their own highly specialized research facilities

Initially the new director says he will especially target on industries with a direct relationship to those areas of expertise for which the University of Guelph is particushylarly well known These include such sectors as foods and beverage and bioshytechnology

I am especially interested in offering industry a broad-based multi-disciplinary

Ronald 1 Dolynchuk

approach to their problems through includshying such areas as the social sciences in a team of experts he says This would permit the Uni versity to prov ide more complete studies including market research and sociological considerations as well as

scientific or technological resources

The new director of industrial services is no stranger to the University of Guelph campus He has been teaching a course on Business Policy in the School of Agricul shytu ral Economics and Extension Education

Ronald Dolync h uk was most reshycently the sen ior vice- president and general managcr of Linread Canada Limited in Guelph He has worked in industry since 1969 in marketing and managc ment posishytions Born and raised in W innipeg he grauuated in business economics from Inshydiana Un iversity and received a Master of Business dm in islra tion uegree from the same university

Ronald Dolynchuk and his wife and thrce ch il dren have lived in G uelph since 1976 He has b en act ive in the Gue lph Chamber of Commerce the Ro tary Club of G uelph and has served on the Board of Direc tors of the Edward Johnson Mus ic Foundation the Guelph Arts Counci l the G uelph Youth O rchestra and the G ue lph Marlin Aquatic Cl ub He is a lso 1 regis tered soccer re te ree 0

Dual Income Families

Presstires and

By Mary Cocivera

A stroll through a typical neighbourhood

shatters any illusions about mothers stayin g at home with their young children

Most neighbo urhoods that a decade ago

would ha ve been bu stling with coffee klatches

neighbours visiting over the fence and back yards full of children playing are now all but deserted during the week

Young mo thers are not home with their

preschool children Instead they are in shops factories and offices working to help stretch

their families budgets Women particularly mothers of young

children are working outside the home in increasing numbers In 1971 in two-parent

families 38 pe r cent of mothers with children

under 16 worked outside the home By 1977 that proportion had increased to 58 per cent

The increases are even more dramatic for

women with children under s ix years old the

gro up traditio nally portrayed as staying home with their preschool children F ro m 1971 to 1977 the proportion of these mothers from

two-parent familie s who worked outside the home rose from 41 per cent to 51 per cent

Participation in the labour force has

increased steadily fo r all women since 1960 when fewer than 30 per cent of women over 25 were in the labo ur force By 1982 more than 48

per cent of the same group worked outside the home Further inc reases are prOjected until at least 1985 Canadas Families a doc ument

based on the 1976 census reported that in 54 per cent of families both spouses were working

o llts ide the home

Payoffs Why the Change

Women have been entering the labour

force for a variety of reasons economic ami otherwise Professor Kathleen Brown a family

economist in the Department of Family Studies suggests that soc ial pressures have

pushed many women particularly those in middle-age withgrown children out of the

house and in searc h of self-fulfillment Some of these women ma y feel theyre

missing something by staying at home when most of their peers are working outs ide the home and have their own discretionary income

Hard cold ca sh is the reason behind most womens decision to work o utside the homc Young families are particularly vulnerable to

economic upheaval s Profess or Brown explains because their expenses peak before their incomes

Many young two-income couples stretched their budgets in the early 1970s to

purchase a hou se with the expectatio n that their inco mes would rise and the payments would beco me increasingly eas ier to make

Then interest rates soared they had to renew

their mortgages at much higher rates and their la rger monthly payments s till needed two or mo re incomes to meet those payments

Wives who intended to stop working outside the home to have a family suddenly

realized that they wo uld have to keep working to keep the family home They were counting

on continued economic growth and on inflatio n eas ing their debt burden observe Professor Brown but they didn t allow enough flexibility to adjust to developments like the

unexpectedly high mortgage rates Some middle c la ss home owners may

actually be worse off no w than they were in the early 1970s according to consumer economist

10

Professor W ill iam Frisbee from the De partment of Consumer Studies T his problem is likely to be particularly aeu te among families who purchased homes in the 1970s W hat has caught families in the wild t1uctuation

in interest rates We can no longer ant icipate what the situation will be like in th ree or four years Conside ring that buying a house is a 25shyto 30-year proposilion this uncertainty can really put families in a bind

Wives who work outside the home have not only saved many a family home but they have kept low income families above the poverty line Women and Poverty a report

by the National Council of Welfare published in 1979 estimates that 52 per cent more two- spouse income families would fall below

the poverty line if the wives did not work outs ide the home

Wives who work outside the home

represent all social and economic strata from the lowest income families to the very highest

Many wives who are pursuing life-long careers always expected to work outside the home and

they married men who supported their ambitions

At the other extre me are women who

never planned to work outside the hom or who intended to stop working outside the home if children arrived These women frequently married men who believe that the husband

should be able to provide for his family W hen these women venture outside the

home to work there can be tremendous conflict

between the traditional values and the financial

necess ity of going out to work Their husbands often feel that their role as famil y head and bread w inner is being undermined They have d iffi culty cop ing with their wives increased independence and economic clout the wives try to live both the traditional role and carry on with thei r jobs

Far-Reaching Benefits Women enter the labour force for

monetary reasons bu t o ft en the payo ffs go far beyond the economic The late Professor A nne Cal laga n who was a soci al worker and

soc iolog ist in the Department of Family Stud ies believed that women be nefi t psychologically and that marriages can be stre ngthe ned whe n both part ne rs work outside the home Ci ting a study about the

decision-making process in famili es she observed that most couples start married life

with an equal rights relationship The wife s input into important decisions

reaches its lowest point when she is stuck at home with small children As the children get older and more independent the wife regains

some of her say in family dec isions but her input never reaches the level she enjoyed a t the beg inning of the marriage A wife who works outside the home maintains her influence in

decision- mak ing throughout the marriage With both partners working husband and

wifc are forced to communicate more and to work out the often complex arrangements for the care of the children Increased comshy

municat ion leads to more companionship In the trad it ional family with a husband who

has a job and a wife who does not work outside the home the wife organizes the children and the couple s social life

In many cases she and her husband operate in completely different spheres and communication declines Many of these marriages flounder in mid-life because there is little in the way of common interest after the

children leave home Many observers have linked marriage

failure to economic woes and to women

working outside the home Professor Callagan challenged this link The wife by working

helps combat one of the biggest sources of stress faced by married couples - money

Professor Frisbee wonders whether marital problems that have been blamed on

fi nancial woes are really caused at least in part

by isolation and loneliness [n geographically mobile societies young

couples often move away from both fam ily and friends and sell Ie in communities where they

have no close personal ties with other peo ple Whe n the pressures of jobs child care arrangeshyments and finances become too much to handle such familie s cannot call on parents

grandparents brothers and sisters and long-established friends T he pressure s become

in te rnal ized to the im mediate family and the relationship cracks under the stress

In spite of the pressures and demands of a job outside the home a wife enjoys personal

benefi ts according to Professor Callagan By contributing in a concrete visible way to purchasing the house (and the car and the food)

she earns the appreciation of her husband and chil dre and thus enhances her se lf esteem

By simply gelling out of the hou e a mother with ajob becomes more indep ndent builds a social life of her own and develops interes ts outside of he r house and fam il y All of

thi s adds up to beller mental health

Changing Roles If w ives are entering the labour force are

the ir husbands accepting more of the responsibi lity for raising the children and running the home

Roles at home have not changed as much

as some would expect Studies in Vancouver and Hal ifax found that men increase their house work and child care contributions by an average of one hour a week when their wives get jobs o utside the home

It appears that most men seem to make

their contributions in the more pleasant tasks such as putting the children to bed By and large the working mother s till has to contend wi th the laundry cleaning shopp ing cook ing and famil y scheduli ng If one of the chi ldren

gets s ick it is sti ll the mother who is usua lly

expected to adjust her schedule

Yet to come is a real sharing of the chore s around the house a perceptible shi ft in the division of labour at home

Wo men w ith jobs are no t limited to

mothers in two-parent families Divorced widowed and single women who mayor may not have children also compete for those jobs and face the same if not worse economic

pressures Wives with jobs outs ide the home

however are ojlel di smissed as not

economically important because many people assume (incorrectly) that they have husbands to

sUPflort them and their real job is to take care of the ir children

Todays thousa nds of moms who work

outside the home challenge this outmoded

notion Their pay cheques are as impo rtant a contribution to theirfamilies as their husbands

A report by the C anad ian Advisory

Council on the Statlls o f Women points out that between 1969 and 1979 the number of women in the labour force inc reased by 616 per cent with the g reatest gain being among mothers of young children

Between 1976 and 1980 according to the report the number of mothers with children under three who were in the labour force

increased by a staggering 276 per cent This raises important questions about societys ability to cope with these social changes

Some 15 or 20 years ago the mother who worked outside the home was the exception rather than the rule She could make arrangements with an obli g ing neighbour to

care for her chil d re n all Jay or to intercept them after sc hool and at lunch time

Today mothers without jobs are the

exception Find ing the obliging ne ighbour is becoming more diffic ult and famili es are making more fo rmal arrangements for day care and afte r school care In many cit ies however the re is not enough day care to fil l this demand

Here to Stay It has been pred icted tha t w ives will keep

working outs ide the ho me because they will have to Fami lies will become u ed to the com fort o f a two- income standard of l iv ing and will be unwilling or unable to g ive it up

The socia l forces that have led women in search of self fulfill me nt and equality in the work place w ill continue to influence womens

life work Many young girls still think of a job as a temporary situation but the reality is that being ma rried happily ever after is a myth for most women Women and Poverty points out th a 94 out of every 100 women marry but only 26 of them can expect to live w ith their

husbands until death Some 53 of the original 94 will become w idows and 15 will divorce or

separate Todays wives and mothers who work outs ide the home will be better prepared to

pursue life on their own if and when they

The AMPUl Experience A Most Significant Training Program For Hospitality Industry Leaders By John Hearn

When The Univers ity of Guelphs Schoo l of Ho tel and Food Administration

s taged a four-week Ad vanced management Program for the Hosp italit y Industry (AMPHI) earlier this year the y presented the

A MPHI was to be a four-week conce ntrated coursc designed to meet the standards of two dozen o f Canada s most senior hospitality exec utive s who must he regarded not just as expeI1S but also as connoisseurs in the art of loo king after people Meeting those standards assembling an experienced faculty and generating very large quantities o f all-new course material mandated a course fee of $5000 At those rates participants were entitled to expect the hest of everything

The curriculum was programmed in detail fro m 630 am through 1000 pm every day The gt[re nuous nature o t the intellectual demands left the partic ipants with ne ither the time or the energy to do very much in the way of fending for themsel ves Another important constraint was that eve ry activity formal and informal had to be structured in such a way as to be conducive to mainwinin g continuous dialogue betwee n the paI1icipanh at all times

Limited Accreditation for OVC The Ontario Veterinary College of the

University of Guelph has been accorded limited accreditation status by the American Veterinary Medical Association

(A VMA) President Donald Forster anshynounced in May

The decision by the Council of Edllcashytion of the A VMA is based on recommendashy

tions made in the report of an evaluation committee which visited the College for a

short period in October 1982 a report on which the University and the C ollege had an opportunity to comment Most errors of fact in the original report were corrected as a result of the UniversityS comments

This accreditation status means that ove meets or exceeds most but not all

minimal requirements for a satisfactory program in veterinary medicine at least in

the judgment of the Association Limited accreditation is a reduction in

s tatus from full accreditation a status which the College has held and which was

reconfirmed by a previous evaluation in L976 Similar decisions ha ve been made

by the AVMA in the past in the case of programs at other and well-established

veterinary colleges in the United States which faced problems similar to those we are experiencing at the OVC the Presishydent noted

L imited accreditation status may be

maintained for a period of up to five years on the basis of annual reports by the University and the College indicating that any deficiencies are in the process of being corrected At any time during the five-year period the University and the College may

invite the A VMA Council to make a new

evaluation hopefully leading to a return to full accreditation status

A number of factors are identified in

the report as a basis for the Councils decision Most important the report reshy

commends that a better balance between the financial resources and the programs of the College be achieved From this flow two major recommendations Construcshy

tion and renovation be initiated to correct inadequacies in classrooms laboratories

offices and clinical work spaces Also -faculty numbers and specialty expertise be increased and additional time be scheduled for professional development research and other scholarly pursuits

The report also suggests that the

number of support s taff be increased One option identified in the recommendations is

that student numbers be reduced until

conld over

15

adequate faculty numbers and physical facilitie s can be provided hnally some deficiencies in the area of postgraduate education are also identified

While the University and the College

are naturally disappointed by the Councils conclusions we are not entirely surprised President Forster commented Many of the deficiencies identified in the report have been matters of acute concern for some time and some steps have been taken already to remedy the problems some of which are simply the product of the chronic undershyfunding that Ontario universities have exshyperienced for a number of years

Under the circumstances I commend

the faculty and staff of the Ontario

Veterinary College for working so hard to maintain the reputation and integrity of the program and its graduates during this very difficult period

The President also noted that under A VMA procedures an elaborate appeal process is available to the University A decision has been taken not to appeal the Councils deision even though the Univershysity has reservations about some of the observations in the report

The recommendation s in the report will be reviewed very carefully by the

Uni versity and the College in the coming months the Pre sident indicated and every effort will be made to secure support from government and other sources to

remedy problems which have be e n identified In this connection I wish to

express again our gratitude to the Honourshyable Dennis Timbrel Ontario s Minister of Agriculture and Food for making available to the University special funding in the amount of $J8 million annually for a three-year period in support of programs at the OVe This suppOrt came at a particushylarly crucial time and was most welcomc

Recent discussion with Mr Timbrell and Agriculture Canada have indicated hoth sympathy for and understanding ot the capital needs of the College and there is every hope that substantial support will be forthcoming from both levels of go vernshyment President Forster concluded D

Director Industrial S ervices R onald J Dolynchuk has been appointed Director Indus trial Services for the U nivershysity of G uelph The appointment became effective April I 1983

He will provide a two-way contact between the Un iversity and industry says Dr William Tossell Dean of Research Dea n Tossell points out that Ronald Dolynshychuk will ass ume an integral role in the industrial interact ion strategy recently anshynounced by the University At the same time he will help acquaint University researchers with possible sources of reshysearch contracts and grants within the industria l sector

The new industrial services director says that he sees his ro le somewhat as that of a broker taking the research and te hshynological skills of the campus to inshydustry- Iocal ly provincially and nationshyally W ithin the campus he hopes to play the role of a catal st co-ordinating varied speci alized activities and preparing a marketable package of research and sershyvice attract ive to industry

He says that a campus such as the University of Guelph can offer a consortium of highly specialized and technological expertise to indu stry Such capability can prove to be a powerful factor in attracting new industry to the area he says This may be particularly true in the case of smaller industries that can seldom afford their own highly specialized research facilities

Initially the new director says he will especially target on industries with a direct relationship to those areas of expertise for which the University of Guelph is particushylarly well known These include such sectors as foods and beverage and bioshytechnology

I am especially interested in offering industry a broad-based multi-disciplinary

Ronald 1 Dolynchuk

approach to their problems through includshying such areas as the social sciences in a team of experts he says This would permit the Uni versity to prov ide more complete studies including market research and sociological considerations as well as

scientific or technological resources

The new director of industrial services is no stranger to the University of Guelph campus He has been teaching a course on Business Policy in the School of Agricul shytu ral Economics and Extension Education

Ronald Dolync h uk was most reshycently the sen ior vice- president and general managcr of Linread Canada Limited in Guelph He has worked in industry since 1969 in marketing and managc ment posishytions Born and raised in W innipeg he grauuated in business economics from Inshydiana Un iversity and received a Master of Business dm in islra tion uegree from the same university

Ronald Dolynchuk and his wife and thrce ch il dren have lived in G uelph since 1976 He has b en act ive in the Gue lph Chamber of Commerce the Ro tary Club of G uelph and has served on the Board of Direc tors of the Edward Johnson Mus ic Foundation the Guelph Arts Counci l the G uelph Youth O rchestra and the G ue lph Marlin Aquatic Cl ub He is a lso 1 regis tered soccer re te ree 0

Professor W ill iam Frisbee from the De partment of Consumer Studies T his problem is likely to be particularly aeu te among families who purchased homes in the 1970s W hat has caught families in the wild t1uctuation

in interest rates We can no longer ant icipate what the situation will be like in th ree or four years Conside ring that buying a house is a 25shyto 30-year proposilion this uncertainty can really put families in a bind

Wives who work outside the home have not only saved many a family home but they have kept low income families above the poverty line Women and Poverty a report

by the National Council of Welfare published in 1979 estimates that 52 per cent more two- spouse income families would fall below

the poverty line if the wives did not work outs ide the home

Wives who work outside the home

represent all social and economic strata from the lowest income families to the very highest

Many wives who are pursuing life-long careers always expected to work outside the home and

they married men who supported their ambitions

At the other extre me are women who

never planned to work outside the hom or who intended to stop working outside the home if children arrived These women frequently married men who believe that the husband

should be able to provide for his family W hen these women venture outside the

home to work there can be tremendous conflict

between the traditional values and the financial

necess ity of going out to work Their husbands often feel that their role as famil y head and bread w inner is being undermined They have d iffi culty cop ing with their wives increased independence and economic clout the wives try to live both the traditional role and carry on with thei r jobs

Far-Reaching Benefits Women enter the labour force for

monetary reasons bu t o ft en the payo ffs go far beyond the economic The late Professor A nne Cal laga n who was a soci al worker and

soc iolog ist in the Department of Family Stud ies believed that women be nefi t psychologically and that marriages can be stre ngthe ned whe n both part ne rs work outside the home Ci ting a study about the

decision-making process in famili es she observed that most couples start married life

with an equal rights relationship The wife s input into important decisions

reaches its lowest point when she is stuck at home with small children As the children get older and more independent the wife regains

some of her say in family dec isions but her input never reaches the level she enjoyed a t the beg inning of the marriage A wife who works outside the home maintains her influence in

decision- mak ing throughout the marriage With both partners working husband and

wifc are forced to communicate more and to work out the often complex arrangements for the care of the children Increased comshy

municat ion leads to more companionship In the trad it ional family with a husband who

has a job and a wife who does not work outside the home the wife organizes the children and the couple s social life

In many cases she and her husband operate in completely different spheres and communication declines Many of these marriages flounder in mid-life because there is little in the way of common interest after the

children leave home Many observers have linked marriage

failure to economic woes and to women

working outside the home Professor Callagan challenged this link The wife by working

helps combat one of the biggest sources of stress faced by married couples - money

Professor Frisbee wonders whether marital problems that have been blamed on

fi nancial woes are really caused at least in part

by isolation and loneliness [n geographically mobile societies young

couples often move away from both fam ily and friends and sell Ie in communities where they

have no close personal ties with other peo ple Whe n the pressures of jobs child care arrangeshyments and finances become too much to handle such familie s cannot call on parents

grandparents brothers and sisters and long-established friends T he pressure s become

in te rnal ized to the im mediate family and the relationship cracks under the stress

In spite of the pressures and demands of a job outside the home a wife enjoys personal

benefi ts according to Professor Callagan By contributing in a concrete visible way to purchasing the house (and the car and the food)

she earns the appreciation of her husband and chil dre and thus enhances her se lf esteem

By simply gelling out of the hou e a mother with ajob becomes more indep ndent builds a social life of her own and develops interes ts outside of he r house and fam il y All of

thi s adds up to beller mental health

Changing Roles If w ives are entering the labour force are

the ir husbands accepting more of the responsibi lity for raising the children and running the home

Roles at home have not changed as much

as some would expect Studies in Vancouver and Hal ifax found that men increase their house work and child care contributions by an average of one hour a week when their wives get jobs o utside the home

It appears that most men seem to make

their contributions in the more pleasant tasks such as putting the children to bed By and large the working mother s till has to contend wi th the laundry cleaning shopp ing cook ing and famil y scheduli ng If one of the chi ldren

gets s ick it is sti ll the mother who is usua lly

expected to adjust her schedule

Yet to come is a real sharing of the chore s around the house a perceptible shi ft in the division of labour at home

Wo men w ith jobs are no t limited to

mothers in two-parent families Divorced widowed and single women who mayor may not have children also compete for those jobs and face the same if not worse economic

pressures Wives with jobs outs ide the home

however are ojlel di smissed as not

economically important because many people assume (incorrectly) that they have husbands to

sUPflort them and their real job is to take care of the ir children

Todays thousa nds of moms who work

outside the home challenge this outmoded

notion Their pay cheques are as impo rtant a contribution to theirfamilies as their husbands

A report by the C anad ian Advisory

Council on the Statlls o f Women points out that between 1969 and 1979 the number of women in the labour force inc reased by 616 per cent with the g reatest gain being among mothers of young children

Between 1976 and 1980 according to the report the number of mothers with children under three who were in the labour force

increased by a staggering 276 per cent This raises important questions about societys ability to cope with these social changes

Some 15 or 20 years ago the mother who worked outside the home was the exception rather than the rule She could make arrangements with an obli g ing neighbour to

care for her chil d re n all Jay or to intercept them after sc hool and at lunch time

Today mothers without jobs are the

exception Find ing the obliging ne ighbour is becoming more diffic ult and famili es are making more fo rmal arrangements for day care and afte r school care In many cit ies however the re is not enough day care to fil l this demand

Here to Stay It has been pred icted tha t w ives will keep

working outs ide the ho me because they will have to Fami lies will become u ed to the com fort o f a two- income standard of l iv ing and will be unwilling or unable to g ive it up

The socia l forces that have led women in search of self fulfill me nt and equality in the work place w ill continue to influence womens

life work Many young girls still think of a job as a temporary situation but the reality is that being ma rried happily ever after is a myth for most women Women and Poverty points out th a 94 out of every 100 women marry but only 26 of them can expect to live w ith their

husbands until death Some 53 of the original 94 will become w idows and 15 will divorce or

separate Todays wives and mothers who work outs ide the home will be better prepared to

pursue life on their own if and when they

have to 0

The AMPUl Experience A Most Significant Training Program For Hospitality Industry Leaders By John Hearn

When The Univers ity of Guelphs Schoo l of Ho tel and Food Administration

The curriculum was programmed in detail fro m 630 am through 1000 pm every day The gt[re nuous nature o t the intellectual demands left the partic ipants with ne ither the time or the energy to do very much in the way of fending for themsel ves Another important constraint was that eve ry activity formal and informal had to be structured in such a way as to be conducive to mainwinin g continuous dialogue betwee n the paI1icipanh at all times

Limited Accreditation for OVC The Ontario Veterinary College of the

University of Guelph has been accorded limited accreditation status by the American Veterinary Medical Association

(A VMA) President Donald Forster anshynounced in May

The decision by the Council of Edllcashytion of the A VMA is based on recommendashy

tions made in the report of an evaluation committee which visited the College for a

short period in October 1982 a report on which the University and the C ollege had an opportunity to comment Most errors of fact in the original report were corrected as a result of the UniversityS comments

This accreditation status means that ove meets or exceeds most but not all

minimal requirements for a satisfactory program in veterinary medicine at least in

the judgment of the Association Limited accreditation is a reduction in

s tatus from full accreditation a status which the College has held and which was

reconfirmed by a previous evaluation in L976 Similar decisions ha ve been made

by the AVMA in the past in the case of programs at other and well-established

veterinary colleges in the United States which faced problems similar to those we are experiencing at the OVC the Presishydent noted

L imited accreditation status may be

maintained for a period of up to five years on the basis of annual reports by the University and the College indicating that any deficiencies are in the process of being corrected At any time during the five-year period the University and the College may

invite the A VMA Council to make a new

evaluation hopefully leading to a return to full accreditation status

A number of factors are identified in

the report as a basis for the Councils decision Most important the report reshy

commends that a better balance between the financial resources and the programs of the College be achieved From this flow two major recommendations Construcshy

tion and renovation be initiated to correct inadequacies in classrooms laboratories

offices and clinical work spaces Also -faculty numbers and specialty expertise be increased and additional time be scheduled for professional development research and other scholarly pursuits

The report also suggests that the

number of support s taff be increased One option identified in the recommendations is

that student numbers be reduced until

conld over

15

adequate faculty numbers and physical facilitie s can be provided hnally some deficiencies in the area of postgraduate education are also identified

While the University and the College

are naturally disappointed by the Councils conclusions we are not entirely surprised President Forster commented Many of the deficiencies identified in the report have been matters of acute concern for some time and some steps have been taken already to remedy the problems some of which are simply the product of the chronic undershyfunding that Ontario universities have exshyperienced for a number of years

Under the circumstances I commend

the faculty and staff of the Ontario

Veterinary College for working so hard to maintain the reputation and integrity of the program and its graduates during this very difficult period

The President also noted that under A VMA procedures an elaborate appeal process is available to the University A decision has been taken not to appeal the Councils deision even though the Univershysity has reservations about some of the observations in the report

The recommendation s in the report will be reviewed very carefully by the

Uni versity and the College in the coming months the Pre sident indicated and every effort will be made to secure support from government and other sources to

remedy problems which have be e n identified In this connection I wish to

express again our gratitude to the Honourshyable Dennis Timbrel Ontario s Minister of Agriculture and Food for making available to the University special funding in the amount of $J8 million annually for a three-year period in support of programs at the OVe This suppOrt came at a particushylarly crucial time and was most welcomc

Recent discussion with Mr Timbrell and Agriculture Canada have indicated hoth sympathy for and understanding ot the capital needs of the College and there is every hope that substantial support will be forthcoming from both levels of go vernshyment President Forster concluded D

Director Industrial S ervices R onald J Dolynchuk has been appointed Director Indus trial Services for the U nivershysity of G uelph The appointment became effective April I 1983

He will provide a two-way contact between the Un iversity and industry says Dr William Tossell Dean of Research Dea n Tossell points out that Ronald Dolynshychuk will ass ume an integral role in the industrial interact ion strategy recently anshynounced by the University At the same time he will help acquaint University researchers with possible sources of reshysearch contracts and grants within the industria l sector

The new industrial services director says that he sees his ro le somewhat as that of a broker taking the research and te hshynological skills of the campus to inshydustry- Iocal ly provincially and nationshyally W ithin the campus he hopes to play the role of a catal st co-ordinating varied speci alized activities and preparing a marketable package of research and sershyvice attract ive to industry

He says that a campus such as the University of Guelph can offer a consortium of highly specialized and technological expertise to indu stry Such capability can prove to be a powerful factor in attracting new industry to the area he says This may be particularly true in the case of smaller industries that can seldom afford their own highly specialized research facilities

Initially the new director says he will especially target on industries with a direct relationship to those areas of expertise for which the University of Guelph is particushylarly well known These include such sectors as foods and beverage and bioshytechnology

I am especially interested in offering industry a broad-based multi-disciplinary

Ronald 1 Dolynchuk

approach to their problems through includshying such areas as the social sciences in a team of experts he says This would permit the Uni versity to prov ide more complete studies including market research and sociological considerations as well as

scientific or technological resources

The AMPUl Experience A Most Significant Training Program For Hospitality Industry Leaders By John Hearn

When The Univers ity of Guelphs Schoo l of Ho tel and Food Administration

s taged a four-week Ad vanced management Program for the Hosp italit y Industry (AMPHI) earlier this year the y presented the

A MPHI was to be a four-week conce ntrated coursc designed to meet the standards of two dozen o f Canada s most senior hospitality exec utive s who must he regarded not just as expeI1S but also as connoisseurs in the art of loo king after people Meeting those standards assembling an experienced faculty and generating very large quantities o f all-new course material mandated a course fee of $5000 At those rates participants were entitled to expect the hest of everything

The curriculum was programmed in detail fro m 630 am through 1000 pm every day The gt[re nuous nature o t the intellectual demands left the partic ipants with ne ither the time or the energy to do very much in the way of fending for themsel ves Another important constraint was that eve ry activity formal and informal had to be structured in such a way as to be conducive to mainwinin g continuous dialogue betwee n the paI1icipanh at all times

Limited Accreditation for OVC The Ontario Veterinary College of the

University of Guelph has been accorded limited accreditation status by the American Veterinary Medical Association

(A VMA) President Donald Forster anshynounced in May

The decision by the Council of Edllcashytion of the A VMA is based on recommendashy

tions made in the report of an evaluation committee which visited the College for a

short period in October 1982 a report on which the University and the C ollege had an opportunity to comment Most errors of fact in the original report were corrected as a result of the UniversityS comments

This accreditation status means that ove meets or exceeds most but not all

minimal requirements for a satisfactory program in veterinary medicine at least in

the judgment of the Association Limited accreditation is a reduction in

s tatus from full accreditation a status which the College has held and which was

reconfirmed by a previous evaluation in L976 Similar decisions ha ve been made

by the AVMA in the past in the case of programs at other and well-established

veterinary colleges in the United States which faced problems similar to those we are experiencing at the OVC the Presishydent noted

L imited accreditation status may be

maintained for a period of up to five years on the basis of annual reports by the University and the College indicating that any deficiencies are in the process of being corrected At any time during the five-year period the University and the College may

invite the A VMA Council to make a new

evaluation hopefully leading to a return to full accreditation status

A number of factors are identified in

the report as a basis for the Councils decision Most important the report reshy

commends that a better balance between the financial resources and the programs of the College be achieved From this flow two major recommendations Construcshy

tion and renovation be initiated to correct inadequacies in classrooms laboratories

offices and clinical work spaces Also -faculty numbers and specialty expertise be increased and additional time be scheduled for professional development research and other scholarly pursuits

The report also suggests that the

number of support s taff be increased One option identified in the recommendations is

that student numbers be reduced until

conld over

15

adequate faculty numbers and physical facilitie s can be provided hnally some deficiencies in the area of postgraduate education are also identified

While the University and the College

are naturally disappointed by the Councils conclusions we are not entirely surprised President Forster commented Many of the deficiencies identified in the report have been matters of acute concern for some time and some steps have been taken already to remedy the problems some of which are simply the product of the chronic undershyfunding that Ontario universities have exshyperienced for a number of years

Under the circumstances I commend

the faculty and staff of the Ontario

Veterinary College for working so hard to maintain the reputation and integrity of the program and its graduates during this very difficult period

The President also noted that under A VMA procedures an elaborate appeal process is available to the University A decision has been taken not to appeal the Councils deision even though the Univershysity has reservations about some of the observations in the report

The recommendation s in the report will be reviewed very carefully by the

Uni versity and the College in the coming months the Pre sident indicated and every effort will be made to secure support from government and other sources to

remedy problems which have be e n identified In this connection I wish to

express again our gratitude to the Honourshyable Dennis Timbrel Ontario s Minister of Agriculture and Food for making available to the University special funding in the amount of $J8 million annually for a three-year period in support of programs at the OVe This suppOrt came at a particushylarly crucial time and was most welcomc

Recent discussion with Mr Timbrell and Agriculture Canada have indicated hoth sympathy for and understanding ot the capital needs of the College and there is every hope that substantial support will be forthcoming from both levels of go vernshyment President Forster concluded D

Director Industrial S ervices R onald J Dolynchuk has been appointed Director Indus trial Services for the U nivershysity of G uelph The appointment became effective April I 1983

He will provide a two-way contact between the Un iversity and industry says Dr William Tossell Dean of Research Dea n Tossell points out that Ronald Dolynshychuk will ass ume an integral role in the industrial interact ion strategy recently anshynounced by the University At the same time he will help acquaint University researchers with possible sources of reshysearch contracts and grants within the industria l sector

The new industrial services director says that he sees his ro le somewhat as that of a broker taking the research and te hshynological skills of the campus to inshydustry- Iocal ly provincially and nationshyally W ithin the campus he hopes to play the role of a catal st co-ordinating varied speci alized activities and preparing a marketable package of research and sershyvice attract ive to industry

He says that a campus such as the University of Guelph can offer a consortium of highly specialized and technological expertise to indu stry Such capability can prove to be a powerful factor in attracting new industry to the area he says This may be particularly true in the case of smaller industries that can seldom afford their own highly specialized research facilities

Initially the new director says he will especially target on industries with a direct relationship to those areas of expertise for which the University of Guelph is particushylarly well known These include such sectors as foods and beverage and bioshytechnology

I am especially interested in offering industry a broad-based multi-disciplinary

approach to their problems through includshying such areas as the social sciences in a team of experts he says This would permit the Uni versity to prov ide more complete studies including market research and sociological considerations as well as

scientific or technological resources

The AMPUl Experience A Most Significant Training Program For Hospitality Industry Leaders By John Hearn

When The Univers ity of Guelphs Schoo l of Ho tel and Food Administration

s taged a four-week Ad vanced management Program for the Hosp italit y Industry (AMPHI) earlier this year the y presented the

ni versity with an exercise in log istics of unprecedented complex ity Bob Desautels HI-I 7S who as involved in the advance planning fm more than a year before the e vent explaincd the special nature of the prohle m

A MPHI was to be a four-week conce ntrated coursc designed to meet the standards of two dozen o f Canada s most senior hospitality exec utive s who must he regarded not just as expeI1S but also as connoisseurs in the art of loo king after people Meeting those standards assembling an experienced faculty and generating very large quantities o f all-new course material mandated a course fee of $5000 At those rates participants were entitled to expect the hest of everything

The curriculum was programmed in detail fro m 630 am through 1000 pm every day The gt[re nuous nature o t the intellectual demands left the partic ipants with ne ither the time or the energy to do very much in the way of fending for themsel ves Another important constraint was that eve ry activity formal and informal had to be structured in such a way as to be conducive to mainwinin g continuous dialogue betwee n the paI1icipanh at all times

Gicn these criteria Bob sought the aid of vinually evcry serv ice department in the

This opinio n was e nthus iasticall y endorsed by the AMPHI participant s wh o aw arded a standing ovation to the s taff led by Domenico Ran alli executi ve chef and Incz Scapinello operations manager during the final banquet - a sea Cood spectacu lar capped by copi ous quantities of Baked Alaska

The final banquet was by no means except ional Steak and lobste r eSla rgot and mushroom ca ps were almost com monpl ace Breakfas t offered a choice of cereals an exoti c display of fresh fruit s and such niceties as eggs bened ict The scale and variety of lunches had to be cut back alter the first week in respo nse to

Limited Accreditation for OVC The Ontario Veterinary College of the

University of Guelph has been accorded limited accreditation status by the American Veterinary Medical Association

(A VMA) President Donald Forster anshynounced in May

The decision by the Council of Edllcashytion of the A VMA is based on recommendashy

tions made in the report of an evaluation committee which visited the College for a

short period in October 1982 a report on which the University and the C ollege had an opportunity to comment Most errors of fact in the original report were corrected as a result of the UniversityS comments

This accreditation status means that ove meets or exceeds most but not all

minimal requirements for a satisfactory program in veterinary medicine at least in

the judgment of the Association Limited accreditation is a reduction in

s tatus from full accreditation a status which the College has held and which was

reconfirmed by a previous evaluation in L976 Similar decisions ha ve been made

by the AVMA in the past in the case of programs at other and well-established

veterinary colleges in the United States which faced problems similar to those we are experiencing at the OVC the Presishydent noted

L imited accreditation status may be

maintained for a period of up to five years on the basis of annual reports by the University and the College indicating that any deficiencies are in the process of being corrected At any time during the five-year period the University and the College may

invite the A VMA Council to make a new

evaluation hopefully leading to a return to full accreditation status

A number of factors are identified in

the report as a basis for the Councils decision Most important the report reshy

commends that a better balance between the financial resources and the programs of the College be achieved From this flow two major recommendations Construcshy

tion and renovation be initiated to correct inadequacies in classrooms laboratories

offices and clinical work spaces Also -faculty numbers and specialty expertise be increased and additional time be scheduled for professional development research and other scholarly pursuits

The report also suggests that the

number of support s taff be increased One option identified in the recommendations is

that student numbers be reduced until

conld over

15

adequate faculty numbers and physical facilitie s can be provided hnally some deficiencies in the area of postgraduate education are also identified

While the University and the College

are naturally disappointed by the Councils conclusions we are not entirely surprised President Forster commented Many of the deficiencies identified in the report have been matters of acute concern for some time and some steps have been taken already to remedy the problems some of which are simply the product of the chronic undershyfunding that Ontario universities have exshyperienced for a number of years

Under the circumstances I commend

the faculty and staff of the Ontario

Veterinary College for working so hard to maintain the reputation and integrity of the program and its graduates during this very difficult period

The President also noted that under A VMA procedures an elaborate appeal process is available to the University A decision has been taken not to appeal the Councils deision even though the Univershysity has reservations about some of the observations in the report

The recommendation s in the report will be reviewed very carefully by the

Uni versity and the College in the coming months the Pre sident indicated and every effort will be made to secure support from government and other sources to

remedy problems which have be e n identified In this connection I wish to

express again our gratitude to the Honourshyable Dennis Timbrel Ontario s Minister of Agriculture and Food for making available to the University special funding in the amount of $J8 million annually for a three-year period in support of programs at the OVe This suppOrt came at a particushylarly crucial time and was most welcomc

Recent discussion with Mr Timbrell and Agriculture Canada have indicated hoth sympathy for and understanding ot the capital needs of the College and there is every hope that substantial support will be forthcoming from both levels of go vernshyment President Forster concluded D

Director Industrial S ervices R onald J Dolynchuk has been appointed Director Indus trial Services for the U nivershysity of G uelph The appointment became effective April I 1983

He will provide a two-way contact between the Un iversity and industry says Dr William Tossell Dean of Research Dea n Tossell points out that Ronald Dolynshychuk will ass ume an integral role in the industrial interact ion strategy recently anshynounced by the University At the same time he will help acquaint University researchers with possible sources of reshysearch contracts and grants within the industria l sector

The new industrial services director says that he sees his ro le somewhat as that of a broker taking the research and te hshynological skills of the campus to inshydustry- Iocal ly provincially and nationshyally W ithin the campus he hopes to play the role of a catal st co-ordinating varied speci alized activities and preparing a marketable package of research and sershyvice attract ive to industry

Limited Accreditation for OVC The Ontario Veterinary College of the

University of Guelph has been accorded limited accreditation status by the American Veterinary Medical Association

(A VMA) President Donald Forster anshynounced in May

The decision by the Council of Edllcashytion of the A VMA is based on recommendashy

tions made in the report of an evaluation committee which visited the College for a

short period in October 1982 a report on which the University and the C ollege had an opportunity to comment Most errors of fact in the original report were corrected as a result of the UniversityS comments

This accreditation status means that ove meets or exceeds most but not all

minimal requirements for a satisfactory program in veterinary medicine at least in

the judgment of the Association Limited accreditation is a reduction in

s tatus from full accreditation a status which the College has held and which was

reconfirmed by a previous evaluation in L976 Similar decisions ha ve been made

by the AVMA in the past in the case of programs at other and well-established

veterinary colleges in the United States which faced problems similar to those we are experiencing at the OVC the Presishydent noted

L imited accreditation status may be

maintained for a period of up to five years on the basis of annual reports by the University and the College indicating that any deficiencies are in the process of being corrected At any time during the five-year period the University and the College may

invite the A VMA Council to make a new

evaluation hopefully leading to a return to full accreditation status

A number of factors are identified in

the report as a basis for the Councils decision Most important the report reshy

commends that a better balance between the financial resources and the programs of the College be achieved From this flow two major recommendations Construcshy

tion and renovation be initiated to correct inadequacies in classrooms laboratories

offices and clinical work spaces Also -faculty numbers and specialty expertise be increased and additional time be scheduled for professional development research and other scholarly pursuits

The report also suggests that the

number of support s taff be increased One option identified in the recommendations is

that student numbers be reduced until

conld over

15

adequate faculty numbers and physical facilitie s can be provided hnally some deficiencies in the area of postgraduate education are also identified

While the University and the College

are naturally disappointed by the Councils conclusions we are not entirely surprised President Forster commented Many of the deficiencies identified in the report have been matters of acute concern for some time and some steps have been taken already to remedy the problems some of which are simply the product of the chronic undershyfunding that Ontario universities have exshyperienced for a number of years

Under the circumstances I commend

the faculty and staff of the Ontario

Veterinary College for working so hard to maintain the reputation and integrity of the program and its graduates during this very difficult period

The President also noted that under A VMA procedures an elaborate appeal process is available to the University A decision has been taken not to appeal the Councils deision even though the Univershysity has reservations about some of the observations in the report

The recommendation s in the report will be reviewed very carefully by the

Uni versity and the College in the coming months the Pre sident indicated and every effort will be made to secure support from government and other sources to

remedy problems which have be e n identified In this connection I wish to

express again our gratitude to the Honourshyable Dennis Timbrel Ontario s Minister of Agriculture and Food for making available to the University special funding in the amount of $J8 million annually for a three-year period in support of programs at the OVe This suppOrt came at a particushylarly crucial time and was most welcomc

Recent discussion with Mr Timbrell and Agriculture Canada have indicated hoth sympathy for and understanding ot the capital needs of the College and there is every hope that substantial support will be forthcoming from both levels of go vernshyment President Forster concluded D

Director Industrial S ervices R onald J Dolynchuk has been appointed Director Indus trial Services for the U nivershysity of G uelph The appointment became effective April I 1983

He will provide a two-way contact between the Un iversity and industry says Dr William Tossell Dean of Research Dea n Tossell points out that Ronald Dolynshychuk will ass ume an integral role in the industrial interact ion strategy recently anshynounced by the University At the same time he will help acquaint University researchers with possible sources of reshysearch contracts and grants within the industria l sector

The new industrial services director says that he sees his ro le somewhat as that of a broker taking the research and te hshynological skills of the campus to inshydustry- Iocal ly provincially and nationshyally W ithin the campus he hopes to play the role of a catal st co-ordinating varied speci alized activities and preparing a marketable package of research and sershyvice attract ive to industry

He says that a campus such as the University of Guelph can offer a consortium of highly specialized and technological expertise to indu stry Such capability can prove to be a powerful factor in attracting new industry to the area he says This may be particularly true in the case of smaller industries that can seldom afford their own highly specialized research facilities

Initially the new director says he will especially target on industries with a direct relationship to those areas of expertise for which the University of Guelph is particushylarly well known These include such sectors as foods and beverage and bioshytechnology

I am especially interested in offering industry a broad-based multi-disciplinary

Ronald 1 Dolynchuk

approach to their problems through includshying such areas as the social sciences in a team of experts he says This would permit the Uni versity to prov ide more complete studies including market research and sociological considerations as well as

scientific or technological resources

The new director of industrial services is no stranger to the University of Guelph campus He has been teaching a course on Business Policy in the School of Agricul shytu ral Economics and Extension Education

Ronald Dolync h uk was most reshycently the sen ior vice- president and general managcr of Linread Canada Limited in Guelph He has worked in industry since 1969 in marketing and managc ment posishytions Born and raised in W innipeg he grauuated in business economics from Inshydiana Un iversity and received a Master of Business dm in islra tion uegree from the same university

Ronald Dolynchuk and his wife and thrce ch il dren have lived in G uelph since 1976 He has b en act ive in the Gue lph Chamber of Commerce the Ro tary Club of G uelph and has served on the Board of Direc tors of the Edward Johnson Mus ic Foundation the Guelph Arts Counci l the G uelph Youth O rchestra and the G ue lph Marlin Aquatic Cl ub He is a lso 1 regis tered soccer re te ree 0

adequate faculty numbers and physical facilitie s can be provided hnally some deficiencies in the area of postgraduate education are also identified

While the University and the College

are naturally disappointed by the Councils conclusions we are not entirely surprised President Forster commented Many of the deficiencies identified in the report have been matters of acute concern for some time and some steps have been taken already to remedy the problems some of which are simply the product of the chronic undershyfunding that Ontario universities have exshyperienced for a number of years

Under the circumstances I commend

the faculty and staff of the Ontario

Veterinary College for working so hard to maintain the reputation and integrity of the program and its graduates during this very difficult period

The President also noted that under A VMA procedures an elaborate appeal process is available to the University A decision has been taken not to appeal the Councils deision even though the Univershysity has reservations about some of the observations in the report

The recommendation s in the report will be reviewed very carefully by the

Uni versity and the College in the coming months the Pre sident indicated and every effort will be made to secure support from government and other sources to

remedy problems which have be e n identified In this connection I wish to

express again our gratitude to the Honourshyable Dennis Timbrel Ontario s Minister of Agriculture and Food for making available to the University special funding in the amount of $J8 million annually for a three-year period in support of programs at the OVe This suppOrt came at a particushylarly crucial time and was most welcomc

Recent discussion with Mr Timbrell and Agriculture Canada have indicated hoth sympathy for and understanding ot the capital needs of the College and there is every hope that substantial support will be forthcoming from both levels of go vernshyment President Forster concluded D

Director Industrial S ervices R onald J Dolynchuk has been appointed Director Indus trial Services for the U nivershysity of G uelph The appointment became effective April I 1983

He will provide a two-way contact between the Un iversity and industry says Dr William Tossell Dean of Research Dea n Tossell points out that Ronald Dolynshychuk will ass ume an integral role in the industrial interact ion strategy recently anshynounced by the University At the same time he will help acquaint University researchers with possible sources of reshysearch contracts and grants within the industria l sector

The new industrial services director says that he sees his ro le somewhat as that of a broker taking the research and te hshynological skills of the campus to inshydustry- Iocal ly provincially and nationshyally W ithin the campus he hopes to play the role of a catal st co-ordinating varied speci alized activities and preparing a marketable package of research and sershyvice attract ive to industry

He says that a campus such as the University of Guelph can offer a consortium of highly specialized and technological expertise to indu stry Such capability can prove to be a powerful factor in attracting new industry to the area he says This may be particularly true in the case of smaller industries that can seldom afford their own highly specialized research facilities

Initially the new director says he will especially target on industries with a direct relationship to those areas of expertise for which the University of Guelph is particushylarly well known These include such sectors as foods and beverage and bioshytechnology

I am especially interested in offering industry a broad-based multi-disciplinary

T he award was give n in rccognition of the timc and expense Dr O lafsun investcd to design a hosp ital that would enhance its natur al s ur round ings South Su rrey Veterinary Hospital is loca ted in a res idenshyt ia l area and the colors a nd tex tures of the buil ding s ex terior lesse n the impact o f a commerci a l property in the area

Dr doe dohnson T he late Dr Joseph E Johnson 19 ( I R91-1960) who practised for many years in Waterloo was recognized for hi s services to ag riculture in O ntar io when his port rait was hung in the O ntario Agricu ltura l Ha ll of Fame at the O ntario Agricultural Museum Milton His nomination was prese nted by the Ontario Association of Ani mal Breedshyers T he citation presented states

Dr Joseph Edward Joe Johnson a native of Stra throy as a pioneer in the practice of artificial insemination (AI ) in Ontario In 1942 when the Waterloo Cou nty Holste in- Friesian Associ ation made

their fi rst attemp t it was Dr Joe who collected the se men and inse mina ted the cows

For fl ve years he took ti me out o f an already very busy practice to make the new idea work Several younger veterinarians

who workcd with him were later to be in charge of AI units across Ontario

He gradu ated from the O ntario Veterinary College in 1919 and after working in Fergus and Acton set up practice in Waterloo where he worked with the noted Seagram Sta bles

He pioneered the multi-staff clinic approach having as many as four students and grad uates work ing w ith him Because o f th is internship approach Dr Johnson probably had a greater influence o n the practice of large animal vete rinary medicine than any other practicing vete rinarian of his day

The ultimate uccess of the AI sys shytem is due in large part to the work o f this ve terinari an who through trial and error persevered with the technique in its ear ly years 0

Currently assistant director at the Guelph Ci vic Muse um she has held thi s position since the spring of 1979 Her responsibilities include those of regis trar (mai nta ining dltaikd [i Ii ng systems) for the con serva tion of artifacts and ex hibit work She is co-ordinator of some 40 vo lunteers who are in volved in all facets of museum work (to become a muse um vo lunteer all one has to do is call Michelle and arrange for an interview )

When interviewing Michclk it was obvious she has a love for her work that she will pass on to oth~rs possibly some of the young children attending the education programs she supervi ses at the Guelph Civic Museum

Her mothers parents were homeshysteaders and she was brouoht up on stories about pioneering Her interest in pioneering and the Indian way of life was fo stered by a mothe r who had Indian friends and who would often visit these friends experiencshying their way of life even to sleeping quite often in a tepee

Thi s and the fac t that her family moved around a lo t from west to east influenced Michelles deep and lasting love of the past although with a lau gh she says Now I am of the opinion that my mother had a tendency to present a romantic version of the whole situation - espec ially to me as a young child It certainly influenced my interest in studying Anthropol ogy

Michelles ed ucation and working exshyperiences have bee n very infl uential in nurturing her love of the past She started

out at the University of Western On tario but left for perso nal reasons She worked for a ye ar and while working beca me apprenshyticed as a pattern drafter

ichelle mo ved to Ottawa after she had worked the year and regi stereu at Carl eto n Universi ty in Anthropology She studied this for one year and then became aware of a program offered at Algonquin Communit y College on the subject Mu seum Tech nolo gy

Her placement s in work situation while at Algonquin included a summer helping four yo un g me n on a project at the town of Bells Corners ne ar Ottawa re-

job she ever had There was no electr icity so eve rything

was done by hand Her group res tored doors gable-ends flo ors ceilings rtshypointed stone found at ions and raised the building on hydra uli c jacks The y also gl Lt~d windows re searched the huildin g and organized the veget ab le garden

Othelmiddot experiences have included work at thc Na tio nal Museum of Man thc McM ichae l Canadi an Collcction in Klcin shyburg the Wellington County Muse um and the S imcoe County Museum She has al so been a volunteer teacher at the Plains jndian Iroquois and Inuit Ga lleri es of the National M use um of Man

It was Guelphs gain when Miche lle found he rsel f pulled bac k to stud ying in order to co mplete her degree

Michelle is now well established in her position at the Guelph Civic Muscum and dt las t feels she ha s put dow n roots in a c ity she has an alleg iance to one she loves and fee ls more co mfortable in than any other She is involved in trying to build up a research library on local history and artifacts

When asked for pearl s of wisdom fo r new graduates Michelle volunteered that pcople need practical ex perience along with formal learning to balance their percept ion of a ro lc How apropos 0

Grad Bash 1983

Organized jointly by the CBS Alumni Association and the CBS Students Council in April more than 280 students alumni current and former staff and faculty sat down for dinner prior to presentations being made to our dean

Contributions came from members of the College and a bird sculpture fashioned by Uta Strelive Zoology was the first of many gifts

Next came a memory book containing many letters photographs clippings and a variety of incidents all pieced together by Association president Marie (Boissonshyneault) Rush 80

Betty Roff gave the dean a special book of clippings collected by herself Two framed portraits of Professor Ronald one already hung in the main office of McNally house the other for the Ronald family completed the tributes

Altogether this gathering was a fitting acknowledgement of a great man who has done great things for us all 0

Financial Management Related to Agriculture One of the main sessions at the OAC Agricu ltural Conference 83 dealt wit h financial management as it relates to agricu lture Robert Sanderson who is with the Ontario Farm Adjustment Asshysistance Program was a main speaker and presented the following paper

Ten years ago most farmers were smilingshyagr icu lt ure see med to have finally gained its reward Worl d short age s of food provided ampl e markets and steadily rising prices lor prac tica lly all crops

Thi s idea li s ti c situation continued for a co uple of years until the granaries of the wo rl d were refi li ed De mand then norshyma li zed and pri ces for most agricultural prod ucts hega n to dec line In spite of price dec lines and li mited markets co nsiderable optimi sm conti nued to be fe lt o n the farm sce ne thro ughout mos t of the 1970s

Late in that peri od infl a ti on reall y ca ught fi re rai sing inpu t cos ts for supplie s and labour The ri se in land pri ces exceeded the most optimis tic es timates during this sa me time

In an a tte mpt to s te m thi s ra mpant infla tio n interes t rates increased almost threefo ld beg inning In 1979 and the world hega n it s slide into recession Farml and prices ceased to r ise in 198 1 and are now crumbli ng wi th uncer tain ty and lac k o f demand

We have no doub ts abo ut th e successshyful future o f ag ri cult ure hcre in Ontari o but today for many farmers adj ugtt me nts are necessa ry to remain so lve nt and for too many oth ers bo th adj ustme nts and so me ass iq an ce are necessary for their prese nt and future surviva l

There are some who are beyo nd he lp and farm bankru ptcies are at their highest leve l since the grea t Depression o f the 1930s These cond it io ns brought about the crea tio n of the On tari o Farm AdJustmcn t Ass istance Program (OFA AP) T hi s proshygram during 1 9~2 has bee n assisting eli g ible farmers who needed he lp

2 The Aggres sive Expansionist

Many farmers who did well farming on a

modlst basis in the mid-70s dec ided that s ince o ne farm was pro fitabl e two wo uld be bette r three be tter than two Aggress ive

expan sion mos tl y on c redit du ring this i ntl a tio nary pe riod produced many paper millionaires in the farm co mmunity by the late 70s The elation fo r some of these

fa rmers d id not lasl far into the 80s T hose with 100 much bo rro wed cap ital

found that the ir farm income c ul d not

support the debt load So me of these

atlcmpted fu rthe r borro wing in an e ffort to mai nta in their ho l ding ~ and fo und ou t like o thers before them th at it is imposs ible to

borro w your way out of debt O thers so ld or tried to sell some o f the ir land o r eq uipment in an effort to re ti re at leasl o me of the ir cri ppling de bt and there by salvage at

least a part o f the ir operation

One rather sad varia tio n o f this las t s itua tion occ urs occ as io na lly whe re a

farmer who has had a succes~ fu l and so lvent opera tion decide to ex pand to a llow a son

o r so n- in-law into the bus in ss because of a des ire on the part of the young per on to

farm or occasionally because he is no t employed The expansion in Jand and eljuipment particularly if it occu rred in the

last three years and if it were do ne mainl y o n credit with a mortgage taken on his once so lvent operation has robbed the farmer of

his security and his peace of mind Furthershy

mo re in some of these s ituations the disappointed newcomer in the bus iness moved on leaving dear o ld dad to make the best of it

3 The Equipment Enthusiast

Another scenario concerns the man who is o bsessed with the need to ac quire equipshyment or to make add ition s and improveshy

ments to a lready adequate buildings To pay

for it out of the revolvi ng operating loan or to finance it in other ways withou t first having established that it will pay for itself will inevitably c reate financial problem s

Whe re there has been a general disregard for thi s kind of purchas ing the end resu lt has usually been disas trous

4 Natural Disasters

We regularly see the result s of natural

disas ters - floods windstorms hail frost disease and fires All of the se misfortunes can be c rippling to any operation but when adequate insurance coverage is not carried or if one of these di sasters occur whe n a farmers equity is low or when hi s princi pal and interest charges consume much o f his income it can be disastrous to his economic

pos ition

5 Family Unity

From OFAAP applicatio ns it is noted that some farmers who experience a marriage break- up seem to have diffi culty maintainshy

ing fi nanc ial solvency W hen asse ts are

di vided and whe n atte nt ion to management

is di e r ted hccause o f family pro blems the farm operation is often morta ll y wounded

Farmers and farm op ratnr are much more vulnerable in this si tua tio n because thei r

wives arc o ften much more invol ved in the e lllerprise than in non- farm situations

6 Offmiddot Farm Income

Appl ications incl ude a great nu mher of

insta nces in which if it were not fo r 0 ffmiddot fa rm income o f either the farmer or his wife or

occas io na lly both the ir farm o peratio n wo uld be tota lly un viable and unab le to continue to fu nc tion It is well the n fo r

those in th se c ircumstances to r cogniu tha t if the off-farnl inco me should e nd it wo uld also mea n the te rmination of the

farming operatio n

7 Enterprise Changes

A review 0 f appli ca tions indicates that some

farmers are hoping to comple tely change

thei r c rop or li ves toc k programs attemptin g perhaps to outguess the marke t and to

improve their financial return s Sometimes the expectation in vo lved in the dec is ion is

correct but so o ften when the costs inshyvol ved in the c hange are considered little

has been gai ned and where the deci s ion to change was unwi se co nsiderable loss is

usually the result The ot her extreme to this

situation is rigidity to the poi nt of makin g no changes at all

8 Manage ment

The management ability of any applicant

farmer is difficult to assess Most applicants are not known and there is no opportunity to assess the actual farm operation Ho wever

experience with OFAA P emph asizes that good financial management is c ritical to the

success of any farm operation Here is a li s t of definite Do and

Do nts that should be much in the minds of farmers operating in the present financial climate All of these suggestions re tlect the ex periences we have had working with

appli ca tions for O FAA P

The Definite Dos

Do base an operation on an informed farm

plan keep ing and using good record~ and approved acco unting proced ures Do work c losely wi th the credit source shy

usually the banker Plan and work within

approved revo lving ope rating loan limits Make regular cred it payments when due and when unable to make p ro per arrange shy

ments ahead of time w ith your c reditor or credito rs Do make necessary adju stme nts in land and equipm e nt befo re u nder tak ing further borrow in g Do shop around for cred it and i nve~ tig ate

ava il ah le programs to cu t credit cos ts Do pay off on loans when surplus cas h is

ava il able It won t be any fun but it w ill

he lp to re tain sol vency Do try to ma intai n stability in your far m o peration and kee p the peace a t h IllC

Do seek the professi o nal adv ice of you r ag ric ultu ra l represe ntative anJ Ir indwtry fiel d per~on ne I

The Definite Donts

Dont borrow for capita l items unless they

are abso lu te I y necessary Dont make capi ta l purchases with funds

frolll your revo lvi ng opera ting account w ithout co nsul ta tion and agreeme nt with

the bank manager Dont expand any operation without sound

pl ann ing Dont plunge and make rapid changes in

the ope rati ng patte rn without so und consultation 0

ROllald S Rilchie A reporl on Senafor Piffields presemalion follows

Senator Pitfield paid tribute to Rona ld Ritchie his important work in the Glassco Commission and his influence in the estabshylishment of the Institute for Research on Public Policy

In thi s th oug htful and thoughtshyprovoking presentation Senator Pitfield outlined the need for and the desirability of more open discussion before policies are introduced but there are some very real difficulties associated with de vel oping some me chanis m that could foster and encourage such exchanges of ideas

[t was pointed out that because of the high degree of interdependency of modern society and the size and complexity of governments the making of public polic y must be an intellectual subject in its own right not just a conglomeration of di scishyplines It had become evident that

I A methodical analysis of government activity could lead to improvements in government effectiveness

2 Traini ng in making and managment of public policy was crucial and urgent

3 There were few in government who knew why things were done the way they were

4 The making and management of pubshylic policy was a subject unique in itself and required thinking through for itself

5 Universities and other training institushytions were not very useful in this training process universities being too removed from the actual experience of government and the government institutions being withshyout the detachment and intellectual rigour needed

Thus it became evident that there was a need for an institution that would be a repository of knowledge a pl ace of learnshying a foru m for debate and a means of communication co ncerning public policy

Proposal s emerged that the federal go vernment should assis t some of the organizations already in existence Comshypetition became keen and rivalry among institutions re su lted in grander more comshyplex proposals As a result the federal go vernment in 1968 decided to establish a think-tank of its own to take a more rigorous look at public polic y

The idea was not new In many countries the general thinking was that all problems could be so l ved by inrelleclUal anal ysis and the appl ication of modern techshyniques But the ne w Trudeau go vernment went even beyond providing more data It included public debate of public policy

But the think-tank was only one of the initiatives to aid in the formation of policies There was support for political parties through caucus funding offi ce space support staff and regional offices for Members of Parliament and internsh ip programs for students to work as assistan ts to MPs

Other support included green and white papers for discussion commissions of inquiry task forces public funding of non-political grou ps to encourage discusshysion and many others to increase the flow of information for consideration of alternashytives All were done to open up the process o f meaningful debate which would result in more effective and sound decisions

The th ink-tank was to be a centre for var ious kinds of people to di scuss public policy subjects which were often set aside because of day to day pressures At first it was to be very informal with distinguished people invited to participate Its integrity and permanency would be based on that of

were concerned that existing research instishytutes would be damaged They also wanted in volvement of business and professional communities This challenge to broaden the scope was gi ven to Ron Ritchie

Ritchie foresaw an institution that would be independent supported by an endowment which would not only support but st imu late debate on public policy

Man y fears were raised - that such a body would be taken o ver by academics that it would become a clique that govern shyments would battle for control etc But these were dealt with skillfully by Ritch ie and the Institute for Researc h on Public Policy was establ ished

What of its accomplishments~ This institute has been successfu l in

many ways in getting better information into debate [n the ten years since its beginning many studie s have been pubshyli shed It has held many informat ive confershyences and has a unique journal Howeve r despite its efforts open and meaningful debate on public policy is not much more advanced tod ay than it was a decade ago

It is evident that to ach ie ve its objecshytives there mu st be a willingess to change opi nions and the Canadian sys tem prov ides few forums for the changing of minds The bias is towards decision-makers and interest groups not open and meaningful debate

Public debate often takes pl ace after rather than before the decision is taken Thi s may not be what is wanted but policy-making is tilted not tow ards being open but towards being closed

Why has there not been more progress [n h is pre se ntation Mi chael Pitfield refershyred to the fact that the go vernment whose people should discuss the si tuation has become even more confrontational not because of lack of information but because of rigidity in their approach to discussion of public policy

As govern ment ha s grown so have checks and balances which recently have often been linked to lack of confidence Where slim majorities exist a strong opposhysi tion can threaten the government Party di sc ipline becomes severe and ai ring of independent views is discouraged The fear of a government being defeated on the one shyhand and the unyielding demands ot the opposition on the other tends to make the parliamentary process less and less flexible

The result of the foregOing is the tendency of government in modern times to drop solutions on a public th at may not be aware of the problems These solutions are not open to argu ment and debate is reduced

conld over

27

w ith bias tending towards a cl osed system and less debate

To improve the situation it seems it wlluld be necessary to have a mutual and

ba lanced reduction of force on both sides

The ge neral equilibrium of the system needs to be ma in tained W hat is needed is the reduction of secre tiveness of the gove rn shyment on one side and a reduc tion of the

danger of e mbarrass ment or de fea t of the govern men t on the other side

T here must be a wil li ngness to secure

more ope n debate on al l sides and our

leaders ha ve not done that e ven on m ost import ant issues More ope n and rneltll1 ingshyful deba te will require more thi nk ingshy

thro u middoth - something Mc mbers of Parlishy

ame nt may not he able to do or be free to do or have the necessary knowledge to do But the id ea behind the Institute for Remiddot

search on Public Policy was tha t such a body could bring about better decisions

All publi c problems cannot be solved by thought and tech nolog ics but few can be solved without these contr ibutions

The Institute for Research on Public Policy cannot create better public policies

by itself It must have input from all sectors to bring about more open and meaningful public debate which will result in constant

improvement of government - somethin g

that everyone desires 0

Elected to Royal Society

Dr Cooiel Korl

The election of Dr Gabriel Karl to a Fellowship of the Roy al Society of Canada represents what one of hi s colleagues Dr Peter Egelstaff desc ribe s as a rare honour which reflects great credit not only on Dr Karl but also on the Uni versi tys Departshyment of Physics

The Royal Society of Canada founded in 1882 to promote learning and research in the arts and sciences has numbered among its Fellows virtually all of Canadas most distinguished intellectual le ade rs of the last J00 yea rs Standards are jealously guarded and Fello wships are awarded only as a result of outstanding world-class ach ieve ment

The rarity of the honour is indicated by the fact that at the Un iversity of Guelph whose faculty includes so many academics of international distinction only five had previously achieved a Fellows hip in the Royal Society of Canada These are Dr Howard Clark vice- pres ident academic Dr Bruce Sells dean College of Biologishycal Science Dr Peter Egclstaff Depart shyment of Physics Dr Do nald Masters Prof ssor Emeri tu s De part mcnt of History and Dr He rb Armstrong retired dean of Graduate Studies

As the sixth Dr Ga briel Karl will have the added di st inction of bei ng the first whose career has been sp ot excl us ively at the Un ivers ity of Guelph which agai n to

quote Dr Egelstaff marks a coming of age for the University

Gabriel Karl was born in Transylvania a province of Romania He obtained his B Sc in Chemistry at Romani as Univershysity of ClUJ worked for two years in industry and came to Canada in 1960 He attended graduate school at th e University of Toronto where he was awarded a Ph D in 1966 for a thesis on infrared luminesshycence following molecular colli sion Hi s Ph D supervisor was the distinguished physical chemist Dr John Polanyi

A two-year post-doctora l fellowship with the University of Torontos Depart shyment of Physics followed His mentors there were Drs J Van Kranendonk and Duk Poll who is now a professor with the Universi ty of Guelph s Depa rtment of Ph ys ics

In 1966 Dr Karl studied at the Uni versity of Oxford for two years under an NRC scho larship to study hadron spec troshyscopy and in 1969 he Joi ned the Univers itys Department of Phy sics achieving a full professorship only five years later

Dr Karls work has focussed on high energy physics - the physics of fundamen shytal particles This is an esoteric field involvshying research into the nature of matter The relatively few world leaders in thi s field tend to cluster around the half-dozen accelerators such as the $100 million four kilumete rshylon g hi gh-e nergy tunnel for accelerating electrons at Stanford University that have been built only in the US and Europe

There is no accelerator of this energy level in Canad a and fe w Canadian scie nshyti ~ts are working in this field Dr Ka rl s statu re in the international commu nity of particle physic ists is marked by his many visi ts to the world s major research ce ntres as guest speaker and to consult with his peers Referring to the time spent on thcse missions Dr Karl describes the Depart shym nt of Phys ics and his colleag ues as generouslyaccommodati ng shy

opportu nity to let alumni readers know what we are do ing

I am pleased to be able to report a subs tant ial increase in enrolment both in the

B A program and in the College o f Arts this past yea r What is especially nice is that this has coincided with a dec is ion to tighte n our

standards at the admissions level and in the regulations for continuatio n of study

In o rder to grad uate B A students

who entered the Spring 19~3 Semester will need to obtai n a C average in 60 per cent of the courses they take

Most of o ur students are doing thi s now and we do not antici pate this will pose any

problem for the students whom we are ad mitting Next year students en tering the

B A program will be required to have Grade 13 English and we are strongly encouraging them to offer a Mathematics credit o r o ne in French or ano ther language

Applications from students wish ing to enter the B A program in the Fall 1983 Semester

are up subs tantia lly over last yea r I also want to share with you some

ha ppenings which have brought special delight to me

N omad pioneer student administrator curator You mi ght ask what these words ha ve in common and the answer you would receive would be that they all aptly describe Miche lle McMillan 77

Mi chelle graduated with a degree in SociologyAnthropology At the same time she graduated from Algonquin Community Collegt with a correspondence course dipshyloma in what she terms M ustec h - Muse um Technology majoring In Exshyhibit esign

Currently assistant director at the Guelph Ci vic Muse um she has held thi s position since the spring of 1979 Her responsibilities include those of regis trar (mai nta ining dltaikd [i Ii ng systems) for the con serva tion of artifacts and ex hibit work She is co-ordinator of some 40 vo lunteers who are in volved in all facets of museum work (to become a muse um vo lunteer all one has to do is call Michelle and arrange for an interview )

When interviewing Michclk it was obvious she has a love for her work that she will pass on to oth~rs possibly some of the young children attending the education programs she supervi ses at the Guelph Civic Museum

Her mothers parents were homeshysteaders and she was brouoht up on stories about pioneering Her interest in pioneering and the Indian way of life was fo stered by a mothe r who had Indian friends and who would often visit these friends experiencshying their way of life even to sleeping quite often in a tepee

Thi s and the fac t that her family moved around a lo t from west to east influenced Michelles deep and lasting love of the past although with a lau gh she says Now I am of the opinion that my mother had a tendency to present a romantic version of the whole situation - espec ially to me as a young child It certainly influenced my interest in studying Anthropol ogy

Michelles ed ucation and working exshyperiences have bee n very infl uential in nurturing her love of the past She started

out at the University of Western On tario but left for perso nal reasons She worked for a ye ar and while working beca me apprenshyticed as a pattern drafter

ichelle mo ved to Ottawa after she had worked the year and regi stereu at Carl eto n Universi ty in Anthropology She studied this for one year and then became aware of a program offered at Algonquin Communit y College on the subject Mu seum Tech nolo gy

Her placement s in work situation while at Algonquin included a summer helping four yo un g me n on a project at the town of Bells Corners ne ar Ottawa re-

job she ever had There was no electr icity so eve rything

was done by hand Her group res tored doors gable-ends flo ors ceilings rtshypointed stone found at ions and raised the building on hydra uli c jacks The y also gl Lt~d windows re searched the huildin g and organized the veget ab le garden

Grad Bash 1983

Organized jointly by the CBS Alumni Association and the CBS Students Council in April more than 280 students alumni current and former staff and faculty sat down for dinner prior to presentations being made to our dean

Contributions came from members of the College and a bird sculpture fashioned by Uta Strelive Zoology was the first of many gifts

Next came a memory book containing many letters photographs clippings and a variety of incidents all pieced together by Association president Marie (Boissonshyneault) Rush 80

Betty Roff gave the dean a special book of clippings collected by herself Two framed portraits of Professor Ronald one already hung in the main office of McNally house the other for the Ronald family completed the tributes

Altogether this gathering was a fitting acknowledgement of a great man who has done great things for us all 0

Financial Management Related to Agriculture One of the main sessions at the OAC Agricu ltural Conference 83 dealt wit h financial management as it relates to agricu lture Robert Sanderson who is with the Ontario Farm Adjustment Asshysistance Program was a main speaker and presented the following paper

Ten years ago most farmers were smilingshyagr icu lt ure see med to have finally gained its reward Worl d short age s of food provided ampl e markets and steadily rising prices lor prac tica lly all crops

Thi s idea li s ti c situation continued for a co uple of years until the granaries of the wo rl d were refi li ed De mand then norshyma li zed and pri ces for most agricultural prod ucts hega n to dec line In spite of price dec lines and li mited markets co nsiderable optimi sm conti nued to be fe lt o n the farm sce ne thro ughout mos t of the 1970s

Late in that peri od infl a ti on reall y ca ught fi re rai sing inpu t cos ts for supplie s and labour The ri se in land pri ces exceeded the most optimis tic es timates during this sa me time

In an a tte mpt to s te m thi s ra mpant infla tio n interes t rates increased almost threefo ld beg inning In 1979 and the world hega n it s slide into recession Farml and prices ceased to r ise in 198 1 and are now crumbli ng wi th uncer tain ty and lac k o f demand

We have no doub ts abo ut th e successshyful future o f ag ri cult ure hcre in Ontari o but today for many farmers adj ugtt me nts are necessa ry to remain so lve nt and for too many oth ers bo th adj ustme nts and so me ass iq an ce are necessary for their prese nt and future surviva l

There are some who are beyo nd he lp and farm bankru ptcies are at their highest leve l since the grea t Depression o f the 1930s These cond it io ns brought about the crea tio n of the On tari o Farm AdJustmcn t Ass istance Program (OFA AP) T hi s proshygram during 1 9~2 has bee n assisting eli g ible farmers who needed he lp

Because of the qualifying criteria asshysociated ith an application for as s istan ce from OfAAP one must keep in mind that our observations are limited to about 10 per ce nt of Ontario farm operatlolls That 10 per ce nt is cl ose to the bottom of the gro up on the bas is o f financial sec urity OFA AP assista nce is limited to those produc ing Iood and tobacco Therefore data regard in g proshyducers of fl owers nursery stock race shyhorscs etc ha ( no t come he fore us and the financ ial ituati ons ltlr not inc luded in any of o ur informati o n

1 Young or Beginning Farmers

2 The Aggres sive Expansionist

Many farmers who did well farming on a

modlst basis in the mid-70s dec ided that s ince o ne farm was pro fitabl e two wo uld be bette r three be tter than two Aggress ive

expan sion mos tl y on c redit du ring this i ntl a tio nary pe riod produced many paper millionaires in the farm co mmunity by the late 70s The elation fo r some of these

fa rmers d id not lasl far into the 80s T hose with 100 much bo rro wed cap ital

found that the ir farm income c ul d not

support the debt load So me of these

atlcmpted fu rthe r borro wing in an e ffort to mai nta in their ho l ding ~ and fo und ou t like o thers before them th at it is imposs ible to

borro w your way out of debt O thers so ld or tried to sell some o f the ir land o r eq uipment in an effort to re ti re at leasl o me of the ir cri ppling de bt and there by salvage at

least a part o f the ir operation

One rather sad varia tio n o f this las t s itua tion occ urs occ as io na lly whe re a

farmer who has had a succes~ fu l and so lvent opera tion decide to ex pand to a llow a son

o r so n- in-law into the bus in ss because of a des ire on the part of the young per on to

farm or occasionally because he is no t employed The expansion in Jand and eljuipment particularly if it occu rred in the

last three years and if it were do ne mainl y o n credit with a mortgage taken on his once so lvent operation has robbed the farmer of

his security and his peace of mind Furthershy

mo re in some of these s ituations the disappointed newcomer in the bus iness moved on leaving dear o ld dad to make the best of it

3 The Equipment Enthusiast

Another scenario concerns the man who is o bsessed with the need to ac quire equipshyment or to make add ition s and improveshy

ments to a lready adequate buildings To pay

for it out of the revolvi ng operating loan or to finance it in other ways withou t first having established that it will pay for itself will inevitably c reate financial problem s

Whe re there has been a general disregard for thi s kind of purchas ing the end resu lt has usually been disas trous

4 Natural Disasters

We regularly see the result s of natural

disas ters - floods windstorms hail frost disease and fires All of the se misfortunes can be c rippling to any operation but when adequate insurance coverage is not carried or if one of these di sasters occur whe n a farmers equity is low or when hi s princi pal and interest charges consume much o f his income it can be disastrous to his economic

pos ition

5 Family Unity

From OFAAP applicatio ns it is noted that some farmers who experience a marriage break- up seem to have diffi culty maintainshy

ing fi nanc ial solvency W hen asse ts are

di vided and whe n atte nt ion to management

is di e r ted hccause o f family pro blems the farm operation is often morta ll y wounded

Farmers and farm op ratnr are much more vulnerable in this si tua tio n because thei r

wives arc o ften much more invol ved in the e lllerprise than in non- farm situations

6 Offmiddot Farm Income

Appl ications incl ude a great nu mher of

insta nces in which if it were not fo r 0 ffmiddot fa rm income o f either the farmer or his wife or

occas io na lly both the ir farm o peratio n wo uld be tota lly un viable and unab le to continue to fu nc tion It is well the n fo r

those in th se c ircumstances to r cogniu tha t if the off-farnl inco me should e nd it wo uld also mea n the te rmination of the

farming operatio n

7 Enterprise Changes

A review 0 f appli ca tions indicates that some

farmers are hoping to comple tely change

thei r c rop or li ves toc k programs attemptin g perhaps to outguess the marke t and to

improve their financial return s Sometimes the expectation in vo lved in the dec is ion is

correct but so o ften when the costs inshyvol ved in the c hange are considered little

has been gai ned and where the deci s ion to change was unwi se co nsiderable loss is

usually the result The ot her extreme to this

situation is rigidity to the poi nt of makin g no changes at all

8 Manage ment

The management ability of any applicant

farmer is difficult to assess Most applicants are not known and there is no opportunity to assess the actual farm operation Ho wever

experience with OFAA P emph asizes that good financial management is c ritical to the

success of any farm operation Here is a li s t of definite Do and

Do nts that should be much in the minds of farmers operating in the present financial climate All of these suggestions re tlect the ex periences we have had working with

appli ca tions for O FAA P

The Definite Dos

Do base an operation on an informed farm

plan keep ing and using good record~ and approved acco unting proced ures Do work c losely wi th the credit source shy

usually the banker Plan and work within

approved revo lving ope rating loan limits Make regular cred it payments when due and when unable to make p ro per arrange shy

ments ahead of time w ith your c reditor or credito rs Do make necessary adju stme nts in land and equipm e nt befo re u nder tak ing further borrow in g Do shop around for cred it and i nve~ tig ate

ava il ah le programs to cu t credit cos ts Do pay off on loans when surplus cas h is

ava il able It won t be any fun but it w ill

he lp to re tain sol vency Do try to ma intai n stability in your far m o peration and kee p the peace a t h IllC

Do seek the professi o nal adv ice of you r ag ric ultu ra l represe ntative anJ Ir indwtry fiel d per~on ne I

The Definite Donts

Dont borrow for capita l items unless they

are abso lu te I y necessary Dont make capi ta l purchases with funds

frolll your revo lvi ng opera ting account w ithout co nsul ta tion and agreeme nt with

the bank manager Dont expand any operation without sound

pl ann ing Dont plunge and make rapid changes in

the ope rati ng patte rn without so und consultation 0

ROllald S Rilchie A reporl on Senafor Piffields presemalion follows

Senator Pitfield paid tribute to Rona ld Ritchie his important work in the Glassco Commission and his influence in the estabshylishment of the Institute for Research on Public Policy

In thi s th oug htful and thoughtshyprovoking presentation Senator Pitfield outlined the need for and the desirability of more open discussion before policies are introduced but there are some very real difficulties associated with de vel oping some me chanis m that could foster and encourage such exchanges of ideas

[t was pointed out that because of the high degree of interdependency of modern society and the size and complexity of governments the making of public polic y must be an intellectual subject in its own right not just a conglomeration of di scishyplines It had become evident that

I A methodical analysis of government activity could lead to improvements in government effectiveness

2 Traini ng in making and managment of public policy was crucial and urgent

3 There were few in government who knew why things were done the way they were

4 The making and management of pubshylic policy was a subject unique in itself and required thinking through for itself

5 Universities and other training institushytions were not very useful in this training process universities being too removed from the actual experience of government and the government institutions being withshyout the detachment and intellectual rigour needed

Thus it became evident that there was a need for an institution that would be a repository of knowledge a pl ace of learnshying a foru m for debate and a means of communication co ncerning public policy

Proposal s emerged that the federal go vernment should assis t some of the organizations already in existence Comshypetition became keen and rivalry among institutions re su lted in grander more comshyplex proposals As a result the federal go vernment in 1968 decided to establish a think-tank of its own to take a more rigorous look at public polic y

The idea was not new In many countries the general thinking was that all problems could be so l ved by inrelleclUal anal ysis and the appl ication of modern techshyniques But the ne w Trudeau go vernment went even beyond providing more data It included public debate of public policy

But the think-tank was only one of the initiatives to aid in the formation of policies There was support for political parties through caucus funding offi ce space support staff and regional offices for Members of Parliament and internsh ip programs for students to work as assistan ts to MPs

Other support included green and white papers for discussion commissions of inquiry task forces public funding of non-political grou ps to encourage discusshysion and many others to increase the flow of information for consideration of alternashytives All were done to open up the process o f meaningful debate which would result in more effective and sound decisions

The th ink-tank was to be a centre for var ious kinds of people to di scuss public policy subjects which were often set aside because of day to day pressures At first it was to be very informal with distinguished people invited to participate Its integrity and permanency would be based on that of

were concerned that existing research instishytutes would be damaged They also wanted in volvement of business and professional communities This challenge to broaden the scope was gi ven to Ron Ritchie

Ritchie foresaw an institution that would be independent supported by an endowment which would not only support but st imu late debate on public policy

Man y fears were raised - that such a body would be taken o ver by academics that it would become a clique that govern shyments would battle for control etc But these were dealt with skillfully by Ritch ie and the Institute for Researc h on Public Policy was establ ished

What of its accomplishments~ This institute has been successfu l in

many ways in getting better information into debate [n the ten years since its beginning many studie s have been pubshyli shed It has held many informat ive confershyences and has a unique journal Howeve r despite its efforts open and meaningful debate on public policy is not much more advanced tod ay than it was a decade ago

It is evident that to ach ie ve its objecshytives there mu st be a willingess to change opi nions and the Canadian sys tem prov ides few forums for the changing of minds The bias is towards decision-makers and interest groups not open and meaningful debate

Public debate often takes pl ace after rather than before the decision is taken Thi s may not be what is wanted but policy-making is tilted not tow ards being open but towards being closed

Why has there not been more progress [n h is pre se ntation Mi chael Pitfield refershyred to the fact that the go vernment whose people should discuss the si tuation has become even more confrontational not because of lack of information but because of rigidity in their approach to discussion of public policy

As govern ment ha s grown so have checks and balances which recently have often been linked to lack of confidence Where slim majorities exist a strong opposhysi tion can threaten the government Party di sc ipline becomes severe and ai ring of independent views is discouraged The fear of a government being defeated on the one shyhand and the unyielding demands ot the opposition on the other tends to make the parliamentary process less and less flexible

The result of the foregOing is the tendency of government in modern times to drop solutions on a public th at may not be aware of the problems These solutions are not open to argu ment and debate is reduced

conld over

27

w ith bias tending towards a cl osed system and less debate

To improve the situation it seems it wlluld be necessary to have a mutual and

ba lanced reduction of force on both sides

The ge neral equilibrium of the system needs to be ma in tained W hat is needed is the reduction of secre tiveness of the gove rn shyment on one side and a reduc tion of the

danger of e mbarrass ment or de fea t of the govern men t on the other side

T here must be a wil li ngness to secure

more ope n debate on al l sides and our

leaders ha ve not done that e ven on m ost import ant issues More ope n and rneltll1 ingshyful deba te will require more thi nk ingshy

thro u middoth - something Mc mbers of Parlishy

ame nt may not he able to do or be free to do or have the necessary knowledge to do But the id ea behind the Institute for Remiddot

search on Public Policy was tha t such a body could bring about better decisions

All publi c problems cannot be solved by thought and tech nolog ics but few can be solved without these contr ibutions

The Institute for Research on Public Policy cannot create better public policies

by itself It must have input from all sectors to bring about more open and meaningful public debate which will result in constant

improvement of government - somethin g

that everyone desires 0

The citation prepared for his nominashytion to the Royal Society of Canada reads

Professor Karl is a high energy the ori st whose work is widely recognized interna tionally His deep physical insight and hi s kn ow led ge of mathemati ca l methods led to the quark model of baryon resonances based on quantum chromoshydynamics which has been enormousl) successful in describing experimental reshysuits H is re sea rch is characterized by striking originality and an ability to COIll shy

bine basic ideas from different field s as in the predictions of a new effect - neutron optical activity

Gabriel Karl is married and has one daughter W hen he is not probing the sec re ts of the universe he indulges himself in music theatre and the fine arts

He visited the Unive rsity of Briti sh Columbia in Vanco uver in May for the induction ceremony into the Royal Society of Canada on the occas ion of the Annual Meeting of the Society It marked he sa id the culmination of a long string of benefits that [ ha ve enjoyed throughout the 23 years 1 have lived in Ca nada [ have every rea son to be very grateful to th is country D

Elected to Royal Society

Dr Cooiel Korl

The election of Dr Gabriel Karl to a Fellowship of the Roy al Society of Canada represents what one of hi s colleagues Dr Peter Egelstaff desc ribe s as a rare honour which reflects great credit not only on Dr Karl but also on the Uni versi tys Departshyment of Physics

The Royal Society of Canada founded in 1882 to promote learning and research in the arts and sciences has numbered among its Fellows virtually all of Canadas most distinguished intellectual le ade rs of the last J00 yea rs Standards are jealously guarded and Fello wships are awarded only as a result of outstanding world-class ach ieve ment

The rarity of the honour is indicated by the fact that at the Un iversity of Guelph whose faculty includes so many academics of international distinction only five had previously achieved a Fellows hip in the Royal Society of Canada These are Dr Howard Clark vice- pres ident academic Dr Bruce Sells dean College of Biologishycal Science Dr Peter Egclstaff Depart shyment of Physics Dr Do nald Masters Prof ssor Emeri tu s De part mcnt of History and Dr He rb Armstrong retired dean of Graduate Studies

As the sixth Dr Ga briel Karl will have the added di st inction of bei ng the first whose career has been sp ot excl us ively at the Un ivers ity of Guelph which agai n to

quote Dr Egelstaff marks a coming of age for the University

Gabriel Karl was born in Transylvania a province of Romania He obtained his B Sc in Chemistry at Romani as Univershysity of ClUJ worked for two years in industry and came to Canada in 1960 He attended graduate school at th e University of Toronto where he was awarded a Ph D in 1966 for a thesis on infrared luminesshycence following molecular colli sion Hi s Ph D supervisor was the distinguished physical chemist Dr John Polanyi

A two-year post-doctora l fellowship with the University of Torontos Depart shyment of Physics followed His mentors there were Drs J Van Kranendonk and Duk Poll who is now a professor with the Universi ty of Guelph s Depa rtment of Ph ys ics

In 1966 Dr Karl studied at the Uni versity of Oxford for two years under an NRC scho larship to study hadron spec troshyscopy and in 1969 he Joi ned the Univers itys Department of Phy sics achieving a full professorship only five years later

Dr Karls work has focussed on high energy physics - the physics of fundamen shytal particles This is an esoteric field involvshying research into the nature of matter The relatively few world leaders in thi s field tend to cluster around the half-dozen accelerators such as the $100 million four kilumete rshylon g hi gh-e nergy tunnel for accelerating electrons at Stanford University that have been built only in the US and Europe

There is no accelerator of this energy level in Canad a and fe w Canadian scie nshyti ~ts are working in this field Dr Ka rl s statu re in the international commu nity of particle physic ists is marked by his many visi ts to the world s major research ce ntres as guest speaker and to consult with his peers Referring to the time spent on thcse missions Dr Karl describes the Depart shym nt of Phys ics and his colleag ues as generouslyaccommodati ng shy

Last fall I had the privilege of speakshy

ing to the direc tors of the University of G uelph Alumn i Assoc iation to bring them

up to date on some of the excit ing things connected with the College of Arts I am gratefu l to the editor of DELPHA for this

opportu nity to let alumni readers know what we are do ing

I am pleased to be able to report a subs tant ial increase in enrolment both in the

B A program and in the College o f Arts this past yea r What is especially nice is that this has coincided with a dec is ion to tighte n our

standards at the admissions level and in the regulations for continuatio n of study

In o rder to grad uate B A students

who entered the Spring 19~3 Semester will need to obtai n a C average in 60 per cent of the courses they take

Most of o ur students are doing thi s now and we do not antici pate this will pose any

problem for the students whom we are ad mitting Next year students en tering the

B A program will be required to have Grade 13 English and we are strongly encouraging them to offer a Mathematics credit o r o ne in French or ano ther language

Applications from students wish ing to enter the B A program in the Fall 1983 Semester

are up subs tantia lly over last yea r I also want to share with you some

ha ppenings which have brought special delight to me

The U ni ve rsi ty of Guelph Choir

Through our liaison programs we have pioneered special day - long seminars at the

J know many o f you will also be interes ted in knowing that last sLi mmer the

College awarded three new scholarships two of the m honouring the cont ribution made by former faculty members J Percy

We are al l ac ute ly co nscious of the

N omad pioneer student administrator curator You mi ght ask what these words ha ve in common and the answer you would receive would be that they all aptly describe Miche lle McMillan 77

Mi chelle graduated with a degree in SociologyAnthropology At the same time she graduated from Algonquin Community Collegt with a correspondence course dipshyloma in what she terms M ustec h - Muse um Technology majoring In Exshyhibit esign

Currently assistant director at the Guelph Ci vic Muse um she has held thi s position since the spring of 1979 Her responsibilities include those of regis trar (mai nta ining dltaikd [i Ii ng systems) for the con serva tion of artifacts and ex hibit work She is co-ordinator of some 40 vo lunteers who are in volved in all facets of museum work (to become a muse um vo lunteer all one has to do is call Michelle and arrange for an interview )

When interviewing Michclk it was obvious she has a love for her work that she will pass on to oth~rs possibly some of the young children attending the education programs she supervi ses at the Guelph Civic Museum

Her mothers parents were homeshysteaders and she was brouoht up on stories about pioneering Her interest in pioneering and the Indian way of life was fo stered by a mothe r who had Indian friends and who would often visit these friends experiencshying their way of life even to sleeping quite often in a tepee

Thi s and the fac t that her family moved around a lo t from west to east influenced Michelles deep and lasting love of the past although with a lau gh she says Now I am of the opinion that my mother had a tendency to present a romantic version of the whole situation - espec ially to me as a young child It certainly influenced my interest in studying Anthropol ogy

Michelles ed ucation and working exshyperiences have bee n very infl uential in nurturing her love of the past She started

out at the University of Western On tario but left for perso nal reasons She worked for a ye ar and while working beca me apprenshyticed as a pattern drafter

ichelle mo ved to Ottawa after she had worked the year and regi stereu at Carl eto n Universi ty in Anthropology She studied this for one year and then became aware of a program offered at Algonquin Communit y College on the subject Mu seum Tech nolo gy

Her placement s in work situation while at Algonquin included a summer helping four yo un g me n on a project at the town of Bells Corners ne ar Ottawa re-

job she ever had There was no electr icity so eve rything

was done by hand Her group res tored doors gable-ends flo ors ceilings rtshypointed stone found at ions and raised the building on hydra uli c jacks The y also gl Lt~d windows re searched the huildin g and organized the veget ab le garden

Othelmiddot experiences have included work at thc Na tio nal Museum of Man thc McM ichae l Canadi an Collcction in Klcin shyburg the Wellington County Muse um and the S imcoe County Museum She has al so been a volunteer teacher at the Plains jndian Iroquois and Inuit Ga lleri es of the National M use um of Man

It was Guelphs gain when Miche lle found he rsel f pulled bac k to stud ying in order to co mplete her degree

Michelle is now well established in her position at the Guelph Civic Muscum and dt las t feels she ha s put dow n roots in a c ity she has an alleg iance to one she loves and fee ls more co mfortable in than any other She is involved in trying to build up a research library on local history and artifacts

When asked for pearl s of wisdom fo r new graduates Michelle volunteered that pcople need practical ex perience along with formal learning to balance their percept ion of a ro lc How apropos 0

Grad Bash 1983

Organized jointly by the CBS Alumni Association and the CBS Students Council in April more than 280 students alumni current and former staff and faculty sat down for dinner prior to presentations being made to our dean

Contributions came from members of the College and a bird sculpture fashioned by Uta Strelive Zoology was the first of many gifts

Next came a memory book containing many letters photographs clippings and a variety of incidents all pieced together by Association president Marie (Boissonshyneault) Rush 80

Betty Roff gave the dean a special book of clippings collected by herself Two framed portraits of Professor Ronald one already hung in the main office of McNally house the other for the Ronald family completed the tributes

Altogether this gathering was a fitting acknowledgement of a great man who has done great things for us all 0

Financial Management Related to Agriculture One of the main sessions at the OAC Agricu ltural Conference 83 dealt wit h financial management as it relates to agricu lture Robert Sanderson who is with the Ontario Farm Adjustment Asshysistance Program was a main speaker and presented the following paper

Ten years ago most farmers were smilingshyagr icu lt ure see med to have finally gained its reward Worl d short age s of food provided ampl e markets and steadily rising prices lor prac tica lly all crops

Thi s idea li s ti c situation continued for a co uple of years until the granaries of the wo rl d were refi li ed De mand then norshyma li zed and pri ces for most agricultural prod ucts hega n to dec line In spite of price dec lines and li mited markets co nsiderable optimi sm conti nued to be fe lt o n the farm sce ne thro ughout mos t of the 1970s

Late in that peri od infl a ti on reall y ca ught fi re rai sing inpu t cos ts for supplie s and labour The ri se in land pri ces exceeded the most optimis tic es timates during this sa me time

In an a tte mpt to s te m thi s ra mpant infla tio n interes t rates increased almost threefo ld beg inning In 1979 and the world hega n it s slide into recession Farml and prices ceased to r ise in 198 1 and are now crumbli ng wi th uncer tain ty and lac k o f demand

We have no doub ts abo ut th e successshyful future o f ag ri cult ure hcre in Ontari o but today for many farmers adj ugtt me nts are necessa ry to remain so lve nt and for too many oth ers bo th adj ustme nts and so me ass iq an ce are necessary for their prese nt and future surviva l

There are some who are beyo nd he lp and farm bankru ptcies are at their highest leve l since the grea t Depression o f the 1930s These cond it io ns brought about the crea tio n of the On tari o Farm AdJustmcn t Ass istance Program (OFA AP) T hi s proshygram during 1 9~2 has bee n assisting eli g ible farmers who needed he lp

2 The Aggres sive Expansionist

Many farmers who did well farming on a

modlst basis in the mid-70s dec ided that s ince o ne farm was pro fitabl e two wo uld be bette r three be tter than two Aggress ive

expan sion mos tl y on c redit du ring this i ntl a tio nary pe riod produced many paper millionaires in the farm co mmunity by the late 70s The elation fo r some of these

fa rmers d id not lasl far into the 80s T hose with 100 much bo rro wed cap ital

found that the ir farm income c ul d not

support the debt load So me of these

atlcmpted fu rthe r borro wing in an e ffort to mai nta in their ho l ding ~ and fo und ou t like o thers before them th at it is imposs ible to

borro w your way out of debt O thers so ld or tried to sell some o f the ir land o r eq uipment in an effort to re ti re at leasl o me of the ir cri ppling de bt and there by salvage at

least a part o f the ir operation

One rather sad varia tio n o f this las t s itua tion occ urs occ as io na lly whe re a

farmer who has had a succes~ fu l and so lvent opera tion decide to ex pand to a llow a son

o r so n- in-law into the bus in ss because of a des ire on the part of the young per on to

farm or occasionally because he is no t employed The expansion in Jand and eljuipment particularly if it occu rred in the

last three years and if it were do ne mainl y o n credit with a mortgage taken on his once so lvent operation has robbed the farmer of

his security and his peace of mind Furthershy

mo re in some of these s ituations the disappointed newcomer in the bus iness moved on leaving dear o ld dad to make the best of it

3 The Equipment Enthusiast

Another scenario concerns the man who is o bsessed with the need to ac quire equipshyment or to make add ition s and improveshy

ments to a lready adequate buildings To pay

for it out of the revolvi ng operating loan or to finance it in other ways withou t first having established that it will pay for itself will inevitably c reate financial problem s

Whe re there has been a general disregard for thi s kind of purchas ing the end resu lt has usually been disas trous

4 Natural Disasters

We regularly see the result s of natural

disas ters - floods windstorms hail frost disease and fires All of the se misfortunes can be c rippling to any operation but when adequate insurance coverage is not carried or if one of these di sasters occur whe n a farmers equity is low or when hi s princi pal and interest charges consume much o f his income it can be disastrous to his economic

pos ition

5 Family Unity

From OFAAP applicatio ns it is noted that some farmers who experience a marriage break- up seem to have diffi culty maintainshy

ing fi nanc ial solvency W hen asse ts are

di vided and whe n atte nt ion to management

is di e r ted hccause o f family pro blems the farm operation is often morta ll y wounded

Farmers and farm op ratnr are much more vulnerable in this si tua tio n because thei r

wives arc o ften much more invol ved in the e lllerprise than in non- farm situations

6 Offmiddot Farm Income

Appl ications incl ude a great nu mher of

insta nces in which if it were not fo r 0 ffmiddot fa rm income o f either the farmer or his wife or

occas io na lly both the ir farm o peratio n wo uld be tota lly un viable and unab le to continue to fu nc tion It is well the n fo r

those in th se c ircumstances to r cogniu tha t if the off-farnl inco me should e nd it wo uld also mea n the te rmination of the

farming operatio n

7 Enterprise Changes

A review 0 f appli ca tions indicates that some

farmers are hoping to comple tely change

thei r c rop or li ves toc k programs attemptin g perhaps to outguess the marke t and to

improve their financial return s Sometimes the expectation in vo lved in the dec is ion is

correct but so o ften when the costs inshyvol ved in the c hange are considered little

has been gai ned and where the deci s ion to change was unwi se co nsiderable loss is

usually the result The ot her extreme to this

situation is rigidity to the poi nt of makin g no changes at all

8 Manage ment

The management ability of any applicant

farmer is difficult to assess Most applicants are not known and there is no opportunity to assess the actual farm operation Ho wever

experience with OFAA P emph asizes that good financial management is c ritical to the

success of any farm operation Here is a li s t of definite Do and

Do nts that should be much in the minds of farmers operating in the present financial climate All of these suggestions re tlect the ex periences we have had working with

appli ca tions for O FAA P

The Definite Dos

Do base an operation on an informed farm

plan keep ing and using good record~ and approved acco unting proced ures Do work c losely wi th the credit source shy

usually the banker Plan and work within

approved revo lving ope rating loan limits Make regular cred it payments when due and when unable to make p ro per arrange shy

ments ahead of time w ith your c reditor or credito rs Do make necessary adju stme nts in land and equipm e nt befo re u nder tak ing further borrow in g Do shop around for cred it and i nve~ tig ate

ava il ah le programs to cu t credit cos ts Do pay off on loans when surplus cas h is

ava il able It won t be any fun but it w ill

he lp to re tain sol vency Do try to ma intai n stability in your far m o peration and kee p the peace a t h IllC

Do seek the professi o nal adv ice of you r ag ric ultu ra l represe ntative anJ Ir indwtry fiel d per~on ne I

The Definite Donts

Dont borrow for capita l items unless they

are abso lu te I y necessary Dont make capi ta l purchases with funds

frolll your revo lvi ng opera ting account w ithout co nsul ta tion and agreeme nt with

the bank manager Dont expand any operation without sound

pl ann ing Dont plunge and make rapid changes in

the ope rati ng patte rn without so und consultation 0

ROllald S Rilchie A reporl on Senafor Piffields presemalion follows

Senator Pitfield paid tribute to Rona ld Ritchie his important work in the Glassco Commission and his influence in the estabshylishment of the Institute for Research on Public Policy

In thi s th oug htful and thoughtshyprovoking presentation Senator Pitfield outlined the need for and the desirability of more open discussion before policies are introduced but there are some very real difficulties associated with de vel oping some me chanis m that could foster and encourage such exchanges of ideas

[t was pointed out that because of the high degree of interdependency of modern society and the size and complexity of governments the making of public polic y must be an intellectual subject in its own right not just a conglomeration of di scishyplines It had become evident that

I A methodical analysis of government activity could lead to improvements in government effectiveness

2 Traini ng in making and managment of public policy was crucial and urgent

3 There were few in government who knew why things were done the way they were

4 The making and management of pubshylic policy was a subject unique in itself and required thinking through for itself

5 Universities and other training institushytions were not very useful in this training process universities being too removed from the actual experience of government and the government institutions being withshyout the detachment and intellectual rigour needed

Thus it became evident that there was a need for an institution that would be a repository of knowledge a pl ace of learnshying a foru m for debate and a means of communication co ncerning public policy

Proposal s emerged that the federal go vernment should assis t some of the organizations already in existence Comshypetition became keen and rivalry among institutions re su lted in grander more comshyplex proposals As a result the federal go vernment in 1968 decided to establish a think-tank of its own to take a more rigorous look at public polic y

The idea was not new In many countries the general thinking was that all problems could be so l ved by inrelleclUal anal ysis and the appl ication of modern techshyniques But the ne w Trudeau go vernment went even beyond providing more data It included public debate of public policy

But the think-tank was only one of the initiatives to aid in the formation of policies There was support for political parties through caucus funding offi ce space support staff and regional offices for Members of Parliament and internsh ip programs for students to work as assistan ts to MPs

Other support included green and white papers for discussion commissions of inquiry task forces public funding of non-political grou ps to encourage discusshysion and many others to increase the flow of information for consideration of alternashytives All were done to open up the process o f meaningful debate which would result in more effective and sound decisions

The th ink-tank was to be a centre for var ious kinds of people to di scuss public policy subjects which were often set aside because of day to day pressures At first it was to be very informal with distinguished people invited to participate Its integrity and permanency would be based on that of

were concerned that existing research instishytutes would be damaged They also wanted in volvement of business and professional communities This challenge to broaden the scope was gi ven to Ron Ritchie

Ritchie foresaw an institution that would be independent supported by an endowment which would not only support but st imu late debate on public policy

Man y fears were raised - that such a body would be taken o ver by academics that it would become a clique that govern shyments would battle for control etc But these were dealt with skillfully by Ritch ie and the Institute for Researc h on Public Policy was establ ished

What of its accomplishments~ This institute has been successfu l in

many ways in getting better information into debate [n the ten years since its beginning many studie s have been pubshyli shed It has held many informat ive confershyences and has a unique journal Howeve r despite its efforts open and meaningful debate on public policy is not much more advanced tod ay than it was a decade ago

It is evident that to ach ie ve its objecshytives there mu st be a willingess to change opi nions and the Canadian sys tem prov ides few forums for the changing of minds The bias is towards decision-makers and interest groups not open and meaningful debate

Public debate often takes pl ace after rather than before the decision is taken Thi s may not be what is wanted but policy-making is tilted not tow ards being open but towards being closed

Why has there not been more progress [n h is pre se ntation Mi chael Pitfield refershyred to the fact that the go vernment whose people should discuss the si tuation has become even more confrontational not because of lack of information but because of rigidity in their approach to discussion of public policy

As govern ment ha s grown so have checks and balances which recently have often been linked to lack of confidence Where slim majorities exist a strong opposhysi tion can threaten the government Party di sc ipline becomes severe and ai ring of independent views is discouraged The fear of a government being defeated on the one shyhand and the unyielding demands ot the opposition on the other tends to make the parliamentary process less and less flexible

The result of the foregOing is the tendency of government in modern times to drop solutions on a public th at may not be aware of the problems These solutions are not open to argu ment and debate is reduced

conld over

27

w ith bias tending towards a cl osed system and less debate

To improve the situation it seems it wlluld be necessary to have a mutual and

ba lanced reduction of force on both sides

The ge neral equilibrium of the system needs to be ma in tained W hat is needed is the reduction of secre tiveness of the gove rn shyment on one side and a reduc tion of the

danger of e mbarrass ment or de fea t of the govern men t on the other side

T here must be a wil li ngness to secure

more ope n debate on al l sides and our

leaders ha ve not done that e ven on m ost import ant issues More ope n and rneltll1 ingshyful deba te will require more thi nk ingshy

search on Public Policy was tha t such a body could bring about better decisions

All publi c problems cannot be solved by thought and tech nolog ics but few can be solved without these contr ibutions

The Institute for Research on Public Policy cannot create better public policies

by itself It must have input from all sectors to bring about more open and meaningful public debate which will result in constant

EntploYDlent Survey T he University s Counselling and Reshysource Centre recentl y completed an inshyucpth survey covering the empl oyment activities of the 211 graduates who in 19RO earned Bachelor of Applied Sc ience Degrees

The survey indicates th at gradu ates are e nj oy ing a variety of interes ting and chalshylenging careers

A gratifying 73 per cent of th e graduates re sponded to the survey with 51 per cent of the respondents indi catin g that they have completed or are completing graduate degrees or programs on a full- or part-time bas is Of the 153 respondents 78 per ce nt including one who is self emshyployee have full-time employment The remainder are employed part-time or are pursuing further studie s

Li sted below are the indicated ca reers chosen in the four major areas of study

Applied Human Nutritio n

ut ritiond ietetics Food service administration More than 50 per cent of the responshy

dents obtained reg istered profe ss ional dietishytian certificates The Admini strati ve Emshyphasis course is no longer offered in the

Applied Human utrition program It is available through the Bachelor of Comshymerce program

Family Studies

A number of grad uate s found posit io ns in teac h ing or social services such as

Adult protecti ve service workers Infant de ve lopment specialists Geront ology consultants Supervisors and field workers with social service agencies Other Family Studies graduate s are

working in government srv iees and in the private ec toras home economists financial co un se llors librarians hostel managers Family Studies graduates tend to sl ck caree rs in the helping profess ion s

Consumer Studies

There are four emphasis areas 01 study within this maj or The survey indicates that

Food gradu ates are employed in areas of produci development marketing and food technology with majo r food companies Hou si ng emphasis graduates are wo rkshying with government agencies and in teac hing

Consumer Beha vio ur e mph asis graduates are in industry business and res earc h Tex tile and Clothin g e mph asis grads are employed in research merchandi sshying and banking Often after working for a year or

more Consumer Studies graduates will return to gradu ate study o r profess ional programs on a full- or part-time bas is

Child Studies

Many Child Studies graduates are emp loyed in teaching supervisory or other child-care related sett ings such as soc ial work with fami lies and children Re ported part -lime and temporary em pl oy ment pos ishytions include work as supply teachers child care supervisors special education leac hers and as lecturers in uni ve rsity settings

It is imporl an t to note that this emshyploy ment survey reports the caree r paths chose n by onl y one graduating cl ass Dat a is collccl~d on a yearl y bas is from gradu ates in Family and Consumer Studies In order to observe the broad scope of employment opportunities avail able a four-year tabulashytion wo uld pl~ c nt a more complete picture of the profess ional activities of graduates

In summary FACS programs offer students a sound educational background to meet the need s of i nduslry educational institut io ns governme nt and bus in c The future for FACS graduates is indeed bright as the College co ntinues to gro w and develop programs to meet the challenges of the 80s 0

FACS Prof First

Dr M urlin MUllhclIs

Director P ro fessor Anne Martin Matthews De shypart me nt of Family St udi es has been ap shypointed the first director of the Gnontology Research Centre The establi shment of the Centre was announced last February A research grant of $237000 from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada will fund the Centre for the first three years

Professor Martin Matthews has been conducting research related to the needs and interests of older segments of the populashytion as well as teaching courses in such areas as social gerontology and marital and family dynamics in Family Studies She has been a faculty member with the Department of Family Studies since 1978

She also has been active beyond the campus in programs related to aging She is chair-elect of the social sciences division Canadian Council on Gerontology and will begin a two-year term in the chair of that organization this year

She is also first vice-president of the

Ontario Gerontology Association and a member of the scientific advisory commitshytee of the Gerontology Research Council of Ontario She is a graduate of Memorial University of Newfoundland and McMaster University

With a steadily increasing percentage of the popUlation in the retirement age bracket it is important to understand more fully the ir needs and cuncerns sa ys Proshyfessor Martin Matthews The en tre will deal with the ag ing family and environshymental contexts In the latter sense we will be examinin g such things as the difference bet wee n aging in an urban and a rural society as well as issues like housing and the aging

The new Gerontology Research Centre will provide facilities to assist faculty members and graduate students doing reshysearch on aging The Centre will facilitate integrate and co-ordinate studies on aging within the University the director says

Research on aging is now being carried out at the Universi ty in such Departments as Family Studies Geography Psychology Nutrition Human Biology and SocioluFY and the Centre will be able to provide a medium for cross-fertilization of ideas among the many researchers in the field

Professor Marlin Matthews says that the Centre will be working co-operatively with other similar research centres in Onshytario such as the one at the University of Toronto in promoting research on aging The Centre will also sponsor conferences and workshops that relate to the special needs of older citizens in their communities

Guelph has demonstrated an interest in gerontology since 1970 when research projshyects began and courses dealing with aging were offered in the Departments of Family Studies and Psychology Since 1981 the Un i versity has offered gero ntology as part of the Famil y Studies major in the Bachelur of Applied Science program 0

Council for two years he was intimately involved in all the major re search de velopshyments in Canada in this field Hc feels that his e lec tio n to the Royal Society of Canada will help raise the prot1le of high-energy physics in this co untry and lend stren gth to Canadian experimenters

The citation prepared for his nominashytion to the Royal Society of Canada reads

Professor Karl is a high energy the ori st whose work is widely recognized interna tionally His deep physical insight and hi s kn ow led ge of mathemati ca l methods led to the quark model of baryon resonances based on quantum chromoshydynamics which has been enormousl) successful in describing experimental reshysuits H is re sea rch is characterized by striking originality and an ability to COIll shy

bine basic ideas from different field s as in the predictions of a new effect - neutron optical activity

Gabriel Karl is married and has one daughter W hen he is not probing the sec re ts of the universe he indulges himself in music theatre and the fine arts

He visited the Unive rsity of Briti sh Columbia in Vanco uver in May for the induction ceremony into the Royal Society of Canada on the occas ion of the Annual Meeting of the Society It marked he sa id the culmination of a long string of benefits that [ ha ve enjoyed throughout the 23 years 1 have lived in Ca nada [ have every rea son to be very grateful to th is country D

Elected to Royal Society

Dr Cooiel Korl

The election of Dr Gabriel Karl to a Fellowship of the Roy al Society of Canada represents what one of hi s colleagues Dr Peter Egelstaff desc ribe s as a rare honour which reflects great credit not only on Dr Karl but also on the Uni versi tys Departshyment of Physics

The Royal Society of Canada founded in 1882 to promote learning and research in the arts and sciences has numbered among its Fellows virtually all of Canadas most distinguished intellectual le ade rs of the last J00 yea rs Standards are jealously guarded and Fello wships are awarded only as a result of outstanding world-class ach ieve ment

The rarity of the honour is indicated by the fact that at the Un iversity of Guelph whose faculty includes so many academics of international distinction only five had previously achieved a Fellows hip in the Royal Society of Canada These are Dr Howard Clark vice- pres ident academic Dr Bruce Sells dean College of Biologishycal Science Dr Peter Egclstaff Depart shyment of Physics Dr Do nald Masters Prof ssor Emeri tu s De part mcnt of History and Dr He rb Armstrong retired dean of Graduate Studies

As the sixth Dr Ga briel Karl will have the added di st inction of bei ng the first whose career has been sp ot excl us ively at the Un ivers ity of Guelph which agai n to

quote Dr Egelstaff marks a coming of age for the University

Gabriel Karl was born in Transylvania a province of Romania He obtained his B Sc in Chemistry at Romani as Univershysity of ClUJ worked for two years in industry and came to Canada in 1960 He attended graduate school at th e University of Toronto where he was awarded a Ph D in 1966 for a thesis on infrared luminesshycence following molecular colli sion Hi s Ph D supervisor was the distinguished physical chemist Dr John Polanyi

A two-year post-doctora l fellowship with the University of Torontos Depart shyment of Physics followed His mentors there were Drs J Van Kranendonk and Duk Poll who is now a professor with the Universi ty of Guelph s Depa rtment of Ph ys ics

In 1966 Dr Karl studied at the Uni versity of Oxford for two years under an NRC scho larship to study hadron spec troshyscopy and in 1969 he Joi ned the Univers itys Department of Phy sics achieving a full professorship only five years later

Dr Karls work has focussed on high energy physics - the physics of fundamen shytal particles This is an esoteric field involvshying research into the nature of matter The relatively few world leaders in thi s field tend to cluster around the half-dozen accelerators such as the $100 million four kilumete rshylon g hi gh-e nergy tunnel for accelerating electrons at Stanford University that have been built only in the US and Europe

There is no accelerator of this energy level in Canad a and fe w Canadian scie nshyti ~ts are working in this field Dr Ka rl s statu re in the international commu nity of particle physic ists is marked by his many visi ts to the world s major research ce ntres as guest speaker and to consult with his peers Referring to the time spent on thcse missions Dr Karl describes the Depart shym nt of Phys ics and his colleag ues as generouslyaccommodati ng shy

Last fall I had the privilege of speakshy

ing to the direc tors of the University of G uelph Alumn i Assoc iation to bring them

up to date on some of the excit ing things connected with the College of Arts I am gratefu l to the editor of DELPHA for this

opportu nity to let alumni readers know what we are do ing

I am pleased to be able to report a subs tant ial increase in enrolment both in the

B A program and in the College o f Arts this past yea r What is especially nice is that this has coincided with a dec is ion to tighte n our

standards at the admissions level and in the regulations for continuatio n of study

In o rder to grad uate B A students

who entered the Spring 19~3 Semester will need to obtai n a C average in 60 per cent of the courses they take

Most of o ur students are doing thi s now and we do not antici pate this will pose any

problem for the students whom we are ad mitting Next year students en tering the

B A program will be required to have Grade 13 English and we are strongly encouraging them to offer a Mathematics credit o r o ne in French or ano ther language

Applications from students wish ing to enter the B A program in the Fall 1983 Semester

are up subs tantia lly over last yea r I also want to share with you some

ha ppenings which have brought special delight to me

The U ni ve rsi ty of Guelph Choir

under director Ge rald e ufeld won second prize in the 1982 CSC nation al chora l competition

In the Harbourfront a rt show last

sum mer three o f o ur students had works se lected by the jury and each won a prize shya better show ing than any of the other O nshy

tario universities or colleges which entend T he C anadian- American Urban Hisshy

tory Co nference held at G uelph in A ugust

1982 was a tremendous success bringing sc holars from many parts of the United States and Canada to discuss new trends in urban studies

Dean David Murray

In the space of just a few months I have seen seven books published by faculty in the Co llege The subjects include Rudyard

Kipl ing Greek Philosophy Urban History Evolution and Darwinism Reli gion and Tolerance the dramatist Gra nville Barker

and a nove l written in French Last summer also saw the completion

of a very successful facu lty exchange beshy

tween o ur Department of Eng lish and the

Uni vers ity of Reading in Britain Dr Leslie Monkman went to Reading for the year and Dr Coral Howell s visited Guelph This

opportunity enab led Dr Howells to study modern C anadian writers and she is now

working o n a book to be published in Britain o n Canadian women wri ters Dr

Mo nkman lectured on Canadian literature at various places in Britain and in France as well as in Reading

now busily preparing to welcome guests from around the world

Through our liaison programs we have pioneered special day - long seminars at the

niversity for gifted children in Wellington County T he se programs are part of o ur commitment to assist secondary schools in meeting the challe nges of special education

J know many o f you will also be interes ted in knowing that last sLi mmer the

College awarded three new scholarships two of the m honouring the cont ribution made by former faculty members J Percy

Sm ith and W Stanford Reid The other marked the first presentation of the Edward Johnson Music Foundation scholarships for students in the music program

We are al l ac ute ly co nscious of the

financial pressure affecting the UnivLr ~ ity

of Guelph and othe r Canadian unive rsities

But we mus t no t le t these pressures detract from the vision of academic excellence to

which we are committed J think you will agree from the exaln ~Jk middot ha ve cited that this vision continues to glow brightly in spite of our financial plight We hope we can

Grad Bash 1983

Organized jointly by the CBS Alumni Association and the CBS Students Council in April more than 280 students alumni current and former staff and faculty sat down for dinner prior to presentations being made to our dean

Contributions came from members of the College and a bird sculpture fashioned by Uta Strelive Zoology was the first of many gifts

Next came a memory book containing many letters photographs clippings and a variety of incidents all pieced together by Association president Marie (Boissonshyneault) Rush 80

Betty Roff gave the dean a special book of clippings collected by herself Two framed portraits of Professor Ronald one already hung in the main office of McNally house the other for the Ronald family completed the tributes

Altogether this gathering was a fitting acknowledgement of a great man who has done great things for us all 0

Financial Management Related to Agriculture One of the main sessions at the OAC Agricu ltural Conference 83 dealt wit h financial management as it relates to agricu lture Robert Sanderson who is with the Ontario Farm Adjustment Asshysistance Program was a main speaker and presented the following paper

Ten years ago most farmers were smilingshyagr icu lt ure see med to have finally gained its reward Worl d short age s of food provided ampl e markets and steadily rising prices lor prac tica lly all crops

Thi s idea li s ti c situation continued for a co uple of years until the granaries of the wo rl d were refi li ed De mand then norshyma li zed and pri ces for most agricultural prod ucts hega n to dec line In spite of price dec lines and li mited markets co nsiderable optimi sm conti nued to be fe lt o n the farm sce ne thro ughout mos t of the 1970s

Late in that peri od infl a ti on reall y ca ught fi re rai sing inpu t cos ts for supplie s and labour The ri se in land pri ces exceeded the most optimis tic es timates during this sa me time

In an a tte mpt to s te m thi s ra mpant infla tio n interes t rates increased almost threefo ld beg inning In 1979 and the world hega n it s slide into recession Farml and prices ceased to r ise in 198 1 and are now crumbli ng wi th uncer tain ty and lac k o f demand

We have no doub ts abo ut th e successshyful future o f ag ri cult ure hcre in Ontari o but today for many farmers adj ugtt me nts are necessa ry to remain so lve nt and for too many oth ers bo th adj ustme nts and so me ass iq an ce are necessary for their prese nt and future surviva l

There are some who are beyo nd he lp and farm bankru ptcies are at their highest leve l since the grea t Depression o f the 1930s These cond it io ns brought about the crea tio n of the On tari o Farm AdJustmcn t Ass istance Program (OFA AP) T hi s proshygram during 1 9~2 has bee n assisting eli g ible farmers who needed he lp

2 The Aggres sive Expansionist

Many farmers who did well farming on a

modlst basis in the mid-70s dec ided that s ince o ne farm was pro fitabl e two wo uld be bette r three be tter than two Aggress ive

expan sion mos tl y on c redit du ring this i ntl a tio nary pe riod produced many paper millionaires in the farm co mmunity by the late 70s The elation fo r some of these

fa rmers d id not lasl far into the 80s T hose with 100 much bo rro wed cap ital

found that the ir farm income c ul d not

support the debt load So me of these

atlcmpted fu rthe r borro wing in an e ffort to mai nta in their ho l ding ~ and fo und ou t like o thers before them th at it is imposs ible to

borro w your way out of debt O thers so ld or tried to sell some o f the ir land o r eq uipment in an effort to re ti re at leasl o me of the ir cri ppling de bt and there by salvage at

least a part o f the ir operation

One rather sad varia tio n o f this las t s itua tion occ urs occ as io na lly whe re a

farmer who has had a succes~ fu l and so lvent opera tion decide to ex pand to a llow a son

o r so n- in-law into the bus in ss because of a des ire on the part of the young per on to

farm or occasionally because he is no t employed The expansion in Jand and eljuipment particularly if it occu rred in the

last three years and if it were do ne mainl y o n credit with a mortgage taken on his once so lvent operation has robbed the farmer of

his security and his peace of mind Furthershy

mo re in some of these s ituations the disappointed newcomer in the bus iness moved on leaving dear o ld dad to make the best of it

3 The Equipment Enthusiast

Another scenario concerns the man who is o bsessed with the need to ac quire equipshyment or to make add ition s and improveshy

ments to a lready adequate buildings To pay

for it out of the revolvi ng operating loan or to finance it in other ways withou t first having established that it will pay for itself will inevitably c reate financial problem s

Whe re there has been a general disregard for thi s kind of purchas ing the end resu lt has usually been disas trous

4 Natural Disasters

We regularly see the result s of natural

disas ters - floods windstorms hail frost disease and fires All of the se misfortunes can be c rippling to any operation but when adequate insurance coverage is not carried or if one of these di sasters occur whe n a farmers equity is low or when hi s princi pal and interest charges consume much o f his income it can be disastrous to his economic

pos ition

5 Family Unity

From OFAAP applicatio ns it is noted that some farmers who experience a marriage break- up seem to have diffi culty maintainshy

ing fi nanc ial solvency W hen asse ts are

di vided and whe n atte nt ion to management

is di e r ted hccause o f family pro blems the farm operation is often morta ll y wounded

Farmers and farm op ratnr are much more vulnerable in this si tua tio n because thei r

wives arc o ften much more invol ved in the e lllerprise than in non- farm situations

6 Offmiddot Farm Income

Appl ications incl ude a great nu mher of

insta nces in which if it were not fo r 0 ffmiddot fa rm income o f either the farmer or his wife or

occas io na lly both the ir farm o peratio n wo uld be tota lly un viable and unab le to continue to fu nc tion It is well the n fo r

those in th se c ircumstances to r cogniu tha t if the off-farnl inco me should e nd it wo uld also mea n the te rmination of the

farming operatio n

7 Enterprise Changes

A review 0 f appli ca tions indicates that some

farmers are hoping to comple tely change

thei r c rop or li ves toc k programs attemptin g perhaps to outguess the marke t and to

improve their financial return s Sometimes the expectation in vo lved in the dec is ion is

correct but so o ften when the costs inshyvol ved in the c hange are considered little

has been gai ned and where the deci s ion to change was unwi se co nsiderable loss is

usually the result The ot her extreme to this

situation is rigidity to the poi nt of makin g no changes at all

8 Manage ment

The management ability of any applicant

farmer is difficult to assess Most applicants are not known and there is no opportunity to assess the actual farm operation Ho wever

experience with OFAA P emph asizes that good financial management is c ritical to the

success of any farm operation Here is a li s t of definite Do and

Do nts that should be much in the minds of farmers operating in the present financial climate All of these suggestions re tlect the ex periences we have had working with

appli ca tions for O FAA P

The Definite Dos

Do base an operation on an informed farm

plan keep ing and using good record~ and approved acco unting proced ures Do work c losely wi th the credit source shy

usually the banker Plan and work within

approved revo lving ope rating loan limits Make regular cred it payments when due and when unable to make p ro per arrange shy

ments ahead of time w ith your c reditor or credito rs Do make necessary adju stme nts in land and equipm e nt befo re u nder tak ing further borrow in g Do shop around for cred it and i nve~ tig ate

ava il ah le programs to cu t credit cos ts Do pay off on loans when surplus cas h is

ava il able It won t be any fun but it w ill

he lp to re tain sol vency Do try to ma intai n stability in your far m o peration and kee p the peace a t h IllC

Do seek the professi o nal adv ice of you r ag ric ultu ra l represe ntative anJ Ir indwtry fiel d per~on ne I

The Definite Donts

Dont borrow for capita l items unless they

are abso lu te I y necessary Dont make capi ta l purchases with funds

frolll your revo lvi ng opera ting account w ithout co nsul ta tion and agreeme nt with

the bank manager Dont expand any operation without sound

pl ann ing Dont plunge and make rapid changes in

the ope rati ng patte rn without so und consultation 0

ROllald S Rilchie A reporl on Senafor Piffields presemalion follows

Senator Pitfield paid tribute to Rona ld Ritchie his important work in the Glassco Commission and his influence in the estabshylishment of the Institute for Research on Public Policy

In thi s th oug htful and thoughtshyprovoking presentation Senator Pitfield outlined the need for and the desirability of more open discussion before policies are introduced but there are some very real difficulties associated with de vel oping some me chanis m that could foster and encourage such exchanges of ideas

[t was pointed out that because of the high degree of interdependency of modern society and the size and complexity of governments the making of public polic y must be an intellectual subject in its own right not just a conglomeration of di scishyplines It had become evident that

I A methodical analysis of government activity could lead to improvements in government effectiveness

2 Traini ng in making and managment of public policy was crucial and urgent

3 There were few in government who knew why things were done the way they were

4 The making and management of pubshylic policy was a subject unique in itself and required thinking through for itself

5 Universities and other training institushytions were not very useful in this training process universities being too removed from the actual experience of government and the government institutions being withshyout the detachment and intellectual rigour needed

Thus it became evident that there was a need for an institution that would be a repository of knowledge a pl ace of learnshying a foru m for debate and a means of communication co ncerning public policy

Proposal s emerged that the federal go vernment should assis t some of the organizations already in existence Comshypetition became keen and rivalry among institutions re su lted in grander more comshyplex proposals As a result the federal go vernment in 1968 decided to establish a think-tank of its own to take a more rigorous look at public polic y

The idea was not new In many countries the general thinking was that all problems could be so l ved by inrelleclUal anal ysis and the appl ication of modern techshyniques But the ne w Trudeau go vernment went even beyond providing more data It included public debate of public policy

But the think-tank was only one of the initiatives to aid in the formation of policies There was support for political parties through caucus funding offi ce space support staff and regional offices for Members of Parliament and internsh ip programs for students to work as assistan ts to MPs

Other support included green and white papers for discussion commissions of inquiry task forces public funding of non-political grou ps to encourage discusshysion and many others to increase the flow of information for consideration of alternashytives All were done to open up the process o f meaningful debate which would result in more effective and sound decisions

The th ink-tank was to be a centre for var ious kinds of people to di scuss public policy subjects which were often set aside because of day to day pressures At first it was to be very informal with distinguished people invited to participate Its integrity and permanency would be based on that of

were concerned that existing research instishytutes would be damaged They also wanted in volvement of business and professional communities This challenge to broaden the scope was gi ven to Ron Ritchie

Ritchie foresaw an institution that would be independent supported by an endowment which would not only support but st imu late debate on public policy

Man y fears were raised - that such a body would be taken o ver by academics that it would become a clique that govern shyments would battle for control etc But these were dealt with skillfully by Ritch ie and the Institute for Researc h on Public Policy was establ ished

What of its accomplishments~ This institute has been successfu l in

many ways in getting better information into debate [n the ten years since its beginning many studie s have been pubshyli shed It has held many informat ive confershyences and has a unique journal Howeve r despite its efforts open and meaningful debate on public policy is not much more advanced tod ay than it was a decade ago

It is evident that to ach ie ve its objecshytives there mu st be a willingess to change opi nions and the Canadian sys tem prov ides few forums for the changing of minds The bias is towards decision-makers and interest groups not open and meaningful debate

Public debate often takes pl ace after rather than before the decision is taken Thi s may not be what is wanted but policy-making is tilted not tow ards being open but towards being closed

Why has there not been more progress [n h is pre se ntation Mi chael Pitfield refershyred to the fact that the go vernment whose people should discuss the si tuation has become even more confrontational not because of lack of information but because of rigidity in their approach to discussion of public policy

As govern ment ha s grown so have checks and balances which recently have often been linked to lack of confidence Where slim majorities exist a strong opposhysi tion can threaten the government Party di sc ipline becomes severe and ai ring of independent views is discouraged The fear of a government being defeated on the one shyhand and the unyielding demands ot the opposition on the other tends to make the parliamentary process less and less flexible

The result of the foregOing is the tendency of government in modern times to drop solutions on a public th at may not be aware of the problems These solutions are not open to argu ment and debate is reduced

conld over

27

w ith bias tending towards a cl osed system and less debate

To improve the situation it seems it wlluld be necessary to have a mutual and

ba lanced reduction of force on both sides

The ge neral equilibrium of the system needs to be ma in tained W hat is needed is the reduction of secre tiveness of the gove rn shyment on one side and a reduc tion of the

danger of e mbarrass ment or de fea t of the govern men t on the other side

T here must be a wil li ngness to secure

more ope n debate on al l sides and our

leaders ha ve not done that e ven on m ost import ant issues More ope n and rneltll1 ingshyful deba te will require more thi nk ingshy

thro u middoth - something Mc mbers of Parlishy

ame nt may not he able to do or be free to do or have the necessary knowledge to do But the id ea behind the Institute for Remiddot

search on Public Policy was tha t such a body could bring about better decisions

All publi c problems cannot be solved by thought and tech nolog ics but few can be solved without these contr ibutions

The Institute for Research on Public Policy cannot create better public policies

by itself It must have input from all sectors to bring about more open and meaningful public debate which will result in constant

improvement of government - somethin g

that everyone desires 0

With a steadily increasing percentage of the popUlation in the retirement age bracket it is important to understand more fully the ir needs and cuncerns sa ys Proshyfessor Martin Matthews The en tre will deal with the ag ing family and environshymental contexts In the latter sense we will be examinin g such things as the difference bet wee n aging in an urban and a rural society as well as issues like housing and the aging

The new Gerontology Research Centre will provide facilities to assist faculty members and graduate students doing reshysearch on aging The Centre will facilitate integrate and co-ordinate studies on aging within the University the director says

Research on aging is now being carried out at the Universi ty in such Departments as Family Studies Geography Psychology Nutrition Human Biology and SocioluFY and the Centre will be able to provide a medium for cross-fertilization of ideas among the many researchers in the field

Professor Marlin Matthews says that the Centre will be working co-operatively with other similar research centres in Onshytario such as the one at the University of Toronto in promoting research on aging The Centre will also sponsor conferences and workshops that relate to the special needs of older citizens in their communities

Guelph has demonstrated an interest in gerontology since 1970 when research projshyects began and courses dealing with aging were offered in the Departments of Family Studies and Psychology Since 1981 the Un i versity has offered gero ntology as part of the Famil y Studies major in the Bachelur of Applied Science program 0

SCIMP Editor Bob Winkel

phy sics grant selection committee of thc atural Sciences and Engineering Research

Council for two years he was intimately involved in all the major re search de velopshyments in Canada in this field Hc feels that his e lec tio n to the Royal Society of Canada will help raise the prot1le of high-energy physics in this co untry and lend stren gth to Canadian experimenters

The citation prepared for his nominashytion to the Royal Society of Canada reads

Professor Karl is a high energy the ori st whose work is widely recognized interna tionally His deep physical insight and hi s kn ow led ge of mathemati ca l methods led to the quark model of baryon resonances based on quantum chromoshydynamics which has been enormousl) successful in describing experimental reshysuits H is re sea rch is characterized by striking originality and an ability to COIll shy

bine basic ideas from different field s as in the predictions of a new effect - neutron optical activity

Gabriel Karl is married and has one daughter W hen he is not probing the sec re ts of the universe he indulges himself in music theatre and the fine arts

He visited the Unive rsity of Briti sh Columbia in Vanco uver in May for the induction ceremony into the Royal Society of Canada on the occas ion of the Annual Meeting of the Society It marked he sa id the culmination of a long string of benefits that [ ha ve enjoyed throughout the 23 years 1 have lived in Ca nada [ have every rea son to be very grateful to th is country D

Erratum In the Sprin g issue o r SCiMP it was erroneously reported in the c utline accompanyin g a pict ure of Departshyme nt of Physics student scholarship winners that they were the recipients of 0 er $ 1500 We dropped a zero The fi gure should have read $ 15000 Sorry about tha t Ed

Elected to Royal Society

Dr Cooiel Korl

The election of Dr Gabriel Karl to a Fellowship of the Roy al Society of Canada represents what one of hi s colleagues Dr Peter Egelstaff desc ribe s as a rare honour which reflects great credit not only on Dr Karl but also on the Uni versi tys Departshyment of Physics

The Royal Society of Canada founded in 1882 to promote learning and research in the arts and sciences has numbered among its Fellows virtually all of Canadas most distinguished intellectual le ade rs of the last J00 yea rs Standards are jealously guarded and Fello wships are awarded only as a result of outstanding world-class ach ieve ment

The rarity of the honour is indicated by the fact that at the Un iversity of Guelph whose faculty includes so many academics of international distinction only five had previously achieved a Fellows hip in the Royal Society of Canada These are Dr Howard Clark vice- pres ident academic Dr Bruce Sells dean College of Biologishycal Science Dr Peter Egclstaff Depart shyment of Physics Dr Do nald Masters Prof ssor Emeri tu s De part mcnt of History and Dr He rb Armstrong retired dean of Graduate Studies

As the sixth Dr Ga briel Karl will have the added di st inction of bei ng the first whose career has been sp ot excl us ively at the Un ivers ity of Guelph which agai n to

quote Dr Egelstaff marks a coming of age for the University

Gabriel Karl was born in Transylvania a province of Romania He obtained his B Sc in Chemistry at Romani as Univershysity of ClUJ worked for two years in industry and came to Canada in 1960 He attended graduate school at th e University of Toronto where he was awarded a Ph D in 1966 for a thesis on infrared luminesshycence following molecular colli sion Hi s Ph D supervisor was the distinguished physical chemist Dr John Polanyi

A two-year post-doctora l fellowship with the University of Torontos Depart shyment of Physics followed His mentors there were Drs J Van Kranendonk and Duk Poll who is now a professor with the Universi ty of Guelph s Depa rtment of Ph ys ics

In 1966 Dr Karl studied at the Uni versity of Oxford for two years under an NRC scho larship to study hadron spec troshyscopy and in 1969 he Joi ned the Univers itys Department of Phy sics achieving a full professorship only five years later

Dr Karls work has focussed on high energy physics - the physics of fundamen shytal particles This is an esoteric field involvshying research into the nature of matter The relatively few world leaders in thi s field tend to cluster around the half-dozen accelerators such as the $100 million four kilumete rshylon g hi gh-e nergy tunnel for accelerating electrons at Stanford University that have been built only in the US and Europe

There is no accelerator of this energy level in Canad a and fe w Canadian scie nshyti ~ts are working in this field Dr Ka rl s statu re in the international commu nity of particle physic ists is marked by his many visi ts to the world s major research ce ntres as guest speaker and to consult with his peers Referring to the time spent on thcse missions Dr Karl describes the Depart shym nt of Phys ics and his colleag ues as generouslyaccommodati ng shy

opportu nity to let alumni readers know what we are do ing

I am pleased to be able to report a subs tant ial increase in enrolment both in the

B A program and in the College o f Arts this past yea r What is especially nice is that this has coincided with a dec is ion to tighte n our

standards at the admissions level and in the regulations for continuatio n of study

In o rder to grad uate B A students

who entered the Spring 19~3 Semester will need to obtai n a C average in 60 per cent of the courses they take

Most of o ur students are doing thi s now and we do not antici pate this will pose any

problem for the students whom we are ad mitting Next year students en tering the

B A program will be required to have Grade 13 English and we are strongly encouraging them to offer a Mathematics credit o r o ne in French or ano ther language

Applications from students wish ing to enter the B A program in the Fall 1983 Semester

are up subs tantia lly over last yea r I also want to share with you some

ha ppenings which have brought special delight to me

Grad Bash 1983

Organized jointly by the CBS Alumni Association and the CBS Students Council in April more than 280 students alumni current and former staff and faculty sat down for dinner prior to presentations being made to our dean

Contributions came from members of the College and a bird sculpture fashioned by Uta Strelive Zoology was the first of many gifts

Next came a memory book containing many letters photographs clippings and a variety of incidents all pieced together by Association president Marie (Boissonshyneault) Rush 80

Betty Roff gave the dean a special book of clippings collected by herself Two framed portraits of Professor Ronald one already hung in the main office of McNally house the other for the Ronald family completed the tributes

Altogether this gathering was a fitting acknowledgement of a great man who has done great things for us all 0

Financial Management Related to Agriculture One of the main sessions at the OAC Agricu ltural Conference 83 dealt wit h financial management as it relates to agricu lture Robert Sanderson who is with the Ontario Farm Adjustment Asshysistance Program was a main speaker and presented the following paper

Ten years ago most farmers were smilingshyagr icu lt ure see med to have finally gained its reward Worl d short age s of food provided ampl e markets and steadily rising prices lor prac tica lly all crops

Thi s idea li s ti c situation continued for a co uple of years until the granaries of the wo rl d were refi li ed De mand then norshyma li zed and pri ces for most agricultural prod ucts hega n to dec line In spite of price dec lines and li mited markets co nsiderable optimi sm conti nued to be fe lt o n the farm sce ne thro ughout mos t of the 1970s

Late in that peri od infl a ti on reall y ca ught fi re rai sing inpu t cos ts for supplie s and labour The ri se in land pri ces exceeded the most optimis tic es timates during this sa me time

In an a tte mpt to s te m thi s ra mpant infla tio n interes t rates increased almost threefo ld beg inning In 1979 and the world hega n it s slide into recession Farml and prices ceased to r ise in 198 1 and are now crumbli ng wi th uncer tain ty and lac k o f demand

We have no doub ts abo ut th e successshyful future o f ag ri cult ure hcre in Ontari o but today for many farmers adj ugtt me nts are necessa ry to remain so lve nt and for too many oth ers bo th adj ustme nts and so me ass iq an ce are necessary for their prese nt and future surviva l

There are some who are beyo nd he lp and farm bankru ptcies are at their highest leve l since the grea t Depression o f the 1930s These cond it io ns brought about the crea tio n of the On tari o Farm AdJustmcn t Ass istance Program (OFA AP) T hi s proshygram during 1 9~2 has bee n assisting eli g ible farmers who needed he lp

2 The Aggres sive Expansionist

Many farmers who did well farming on a

modlst basis in the mid-70s dec ided that s ince o ne farm was pro fitabl e two wo uld be bette r three be tter than two Aggress ive

expan sion mos tl y on c redit du ring this i ntl a tio nary pe riod produced many paper millionaires in the farm co mmunity by the late 70s The elation fo r some of these

fa rmers d id not lasl far into the 80s T hose with 100 much bo rro wed cap ital

found that the ir farm income c ul d not

support the debt load So me of these

atlcmpted fu rthe r borro wing in an e ffort to mai nta in their ho l ding ~ and fo und ou t like o thers before them th at it is imposs ible to

borro w your way out of debt O thers so ld or tried to sell some o f the ir land o r eq uipment in an effort to re ti re at leasl o me of the ir cri ppling de bt and there by salvage at

least a part o f the ir operation

One rather sad varia tio n o f this las t s itua tion occ urs occ as io na lly whe re a

farmer who has had a succes~ fu l and so lvent opera tion decide to ex pand to a llow a son

o r so n- in-law into the bus in ss because of a des ire on the part of the young per on to

farm or occasionally because he is no t employed The expansion in Jand and eljuipment particularly if it occu rred in the

last three years and if it were do ne mainl y o n credit with a mortgage taken on his once so lvent operation has robbed the farmer of

his security and his peace of mind Furthershy

mo re in some of these s ituations the disappointed newcomer in the bus iness moved on leaving dear o ld dad to make the best of it

3 The Equipment Enthusiast

Another scenario concerns the man who is o bsessed with the need to ac quire equipshyment or to make add ition s and improveshy

ments to a lready adequate buildings To pay

for it out of the revolvi ng operating loan or to finance it in other ways withou t first having established that it will pay for itself will inevitably c reate financial problem s

Whe re there has been a general disregard for thi s kind of purchas ing the end resu lt has usually been disas trous

4 Natural Disasters

We regularly see the result s of natural

disas ters - floods windstorms hail frost disease and fires All of the se misfortunes can be c rippling to any operation but when adequate insurance coverage is not carried or if one of these di sasters occur whe n a farmers equity is low or when hi s princi pal and interest charges consume much o f his income it can be disastrous to his economic

pos ition

5 Family Unity

From OFAAP applicatio ns it is noted that some farmers who experience a marriage break- up seem to have diffi culty maintainshy

ing fi nanc ial solvency W hen asse ts are

di vided and whe n atte nt ion to management

is di e r ted hccause o f family pro blems the farm operation is often morta ll y wounded

Farmers and farm op ratnr are much more vulnerable in this si tua tio n because thei r

wives arc o ften much more invol ved in the e lllerprise than in non- farm situations

6 Offmiddot Farm Income

Appl ications incl ude a great nu mher of

insta nces in which if it were not fo r 0 ffmiddot fa rm income o f either the farmer or his wife or

occas io na lly both the ir farm o peratio n wo uld be tota lly un viable and unab le to continue to fu nc tion It is well the n fo r

those in th se c ircumstances to r cogniu tha t if the off-farnl inco me should e nd it wo uld also mea n the te rmination of the

farming operatio n

7 Enterprise Changes

A review 0 f appli ca tions indicates that some

farmers are hoping to comple tely change

thei r c rop or li ves toc k programs attemptin g perhaps to outguess the marke t and to

improve their financial return s Sometimes the expectation in vo lved in the dec is ion is

correct but so o ften when the costs inshyvol ved in the c hange are considered little

has been gai ned and where the deci s ion to change was unwi se co nsiderable loss is

usually the result The ot her extreme to this

situation is rigidity to the poi nt of makin g no changes at all

8 Manage ment

The management ability of any applicant

farmer is difficult to assess Most applicants are not known and there is no opportunity to assess the actual farm operation Ho wever

experience with OFAA P emph asizes that good financial management is c ritical to the

success of any farm operation Here is a li s t of definite Do and

Do nts that should be much in the minds of farmers operating in the present financial climate All of these suggestions re tlect the ex periences we have had working with

appli ca tions for O FAA P

The Definite Dos

Do base an operation on an informed farm

plan keep ing and using good record~ and approved acco unting proced ures Do work c losely wi th the credit source shy

usually the banker Plan and work within

approved revo lving ope rating loan limits Make regular cred it payments when due and when unable to make p ro per arrange shy

ments ahead of time w ith your c reditor or credito rs Do make necessary adju stme nts in land and equipm e nt befo re u nder tak ing further borrow in g Do shop around for cred it and i nve~ tig ate

ava il ah le programs to cu t credit cos ts Do pay off on loans when surplus cas h is

ava il able It won t be any fun but it w ill

he lp to re tain sol vency Do try to ma intai n stability in your far m o peration and kee p the peace a t h IllC

Do seek the professi o nal adv ice of you r ag ric ultu ra l represe ntative anJ Ir indwtry fiel d per~on ne I

The Definite Donts

Dont borrow for capita l items unless they

are abso lu te I y necessary Dont make capi ta l purchases with funds

frolll your revo lvi ng opera ting account w ithout co nsul ta tion and agreeme nt with

the bank manager Dont expand any operation without sound

pl ann ing Dont plunge and make rapid changes in

the ope rati ng patte rn without so und consultation 0

ROllald S Rilchie A reporl on Senafor Piffields presemalion follows

Senator Pitfield paid tribute to Rona ld Ritchie his important work in the Glassco Commission and his influence in the estabshylishment of the Institute for Research on Public Policy

In thi s th oug htful and thoughtshyprovoking presentation Senator Pitfield outlined the need for and the desirability of more open discussion before policies are introduced but there are some very real difficulties associated with de vel oping some me chanis m that could foster and encourage such exchanges of ideas

[t was pointed out that because of the high degree of interdependency of modern society and the size and complexity of governments the making of public polic y must be an intellectual subject in its own right not just a conglomeration of di scishyplines It had become evident that

I A methodical analysis of government activity could lead to improvements in government effectiveness

2 Traini ng in making and managment of public policy was crucial and urgent

3 There were few in government who knew why things were done the way they were

4 The making and management of pubshylic policy was a subject unique in itself and required thinking through for itself

5 Universities and other training institushytions were not very useful in this training process universities being too removed from the actual experience of government and the government institutions being withshyout the detachment and intellectual rigour needed

Thus it became evident that there was a need for an institution that would be a repository of knowledge a pl ace of learnshying a foru m for debate and a means of communication co ncerning public policy

Proposal s emerged that the federal go vernment should assis t some of the organizations already in existence Comshypetition became keen and rivalry among institutions re su lted in grander more comshyplex proposals As a result the federal go vernment in 1968 decided to establish a think-tank of its own to take a more rigorous look at public polic y

The idea was not new In many countries the general thinking was that all problems could be so l ved by inrelleclUal anal ysis and the appl ication of modern techshyniques But the ne w Trudeau go vernment went even beyond providing more data It included public debate of public policy

But the think-tank was only one of the initiatives to aid in the formation of policies There was support for political parties through caucus funding offi ce space support staff and regional offices for Members of Parliament and internsh ip programs for students to work as assistan ts to MPs

Other support included green and white papers for discussion commissions of inquiry task forces public funding of non-political grou ps to encourage discusshysion and many others to increase the flow of information for consideration of alternashytives All were done to open up the process o f meaningful debate which would result in more effective and sound decisions

The th ink-tank was to be a centre for var ious kinds of people to di scuss public policy subjects which were often set aside because of day to day pressures At first it was to be very informal with distinguished people invited to participate Its integrity and permanency would be based on that of

were concerned that existing research instishytutes would be damaged They also wanted in volvement of business and professional communities This challenge to broaden the scope was gi ven to Ron Ritchie

Ritchie foresaw an institution that would be independent supported by an endowment which would not only support but st imu late debate on public policy

Man y fears were raised - that such a body would be taken o ver by academics that it would become a clique that govern shyments would battle for control etc But these were dealt with skillfully by Ritch ie and the Institute for Researc h on Public Policy was establ ished

What of its accomplishments~ This institute has been successfu l in

many ways in getting better information into debate [n the ten years since its beginning many studie s have been pubshyli shed It has held many informat ive confershyences and has a unique journal Howeve r despite its efforts open and meaningful debate on public policy is not much more advanced tod ay than it was a decade ago

It is evident that to ach ie ve its objecshytives there mu st be a willingess to change opi nions and the Canadian sys tem prov ides few forums for the changing of minds The bias is towards decision-makers and interest groups not open and meaningful debate

Public debate often takes pl ace after rather than before the decision is taken Thi s may not be what is wanted but policy-making is tilted not tow ards being open but towards being closed

Why has there not been more progress [n h is pre se ntation Mi chael Pitfield refershyred to the fact that the go vernment whose people should discuss the si tuation has become even more confrontational not because of lack of information but because of rigidity in their approach to discussion of public policy

As govern ment ha s grown so have checks and balances which recently have often been linked to lack of confidence Where slim majorities exist a strong opposhysi tion can threaten the government Party di sc ipline becomes severe and ai ring of independent views is discouraged The fear of a government being defeated on the one shyhand and the unyielding demands ot the opposition on the other tends to make the parliamentary process less and less flexible

The result of the foregOing is the tendency of government in modern times to drop solutions on a public th at may not be aware of the problems These solutions are not open to argu ment and debate is reduced

conld over

w ith bias tending towards a cl osed system and less debate

To improve the situation it seems it wlluld be necessary to have a mutual and

ba lanced reduction of force on both sides

The ge neral equilibrium of the system needs to be ma in tained W hat is needed is the reduction of secre tiveness of the gove rn shyment on one side and a reduc tion of the

danger of e mbarrass ment or de fea t of the govern men t on the other side

T here must be a wil li ngness to secure

more ope n debate on al l sides and our

leaders ha ve not done that e ven on m ost import ant issues More ope n and rneltll1 ingshyful deba te will require more thi nk ingshy

thro u middoth - something Mc mbers of Parlishy

ame nt may not he able to do or be free to do or have the necessary knowledge to do But the id ea behind the Institute for Remiddot

search on Public Policy was tha t such a body could bring about better decisions

All publi c problems cannot be solved by thought and tech nolog ics but few can be solved without these contr ibutions

The Institute for Research on Public Policy cannot create better public policies

by itself It must have input from all sectors to bring about more open and meaningful public debate which will result in constant

improvement of government - somethin g

EntploYDlent Survey T he University s Counselling and Reshysource Centre recentl y completed an inshyucpth survey covering the empl oyment activities of the 211 graduates who in 19RO earned Bachelor of Applied Sc ience Degrees

The survey indicates th at gradu ates are e nj oy ing a variety of interes ting and chalshylenging careers

A gratifying 73 per cent of th e graduates re sponded to the survey with 51 per cent of the respondents indi catin g that they have completed or are completing graduate degrees or programs on a full- or part-time bas is Of the 153 respondents 78 per ce nt including one who is self emshyployee have full-time employment The remainder are employed part-time or are pursuing further studie s

Li sted below are the indicated ca reers chosen in the four major areas of study

Applied Human Nutritio n

ut ritiond ietetics Food service administration More than 50 per cent of the responshy

dents obtained reg istered profe ss ional dietishytian certificates The Admini strati ve Emshyphasis course is no longer offered in the

Applied Human utrition program It is available through the Bachelor of Comshymerce program

Family Studies

A number of grad uate s found posit io ns in teac h ing or social services such as

Adult protecti ve service workers Infant de ve lopment specialists Geront ology consultants Supervisors and field workers with social service agencies Other Family Studies graduate s are

working in government srv iees and in the private ec toras home economists financial co un se llors librarians hostel managers Family Studies graduates tend to sl ck caree rs in the helping profess ion s

Consumer Studies

There are four emphasis areas 01 study within this maj or The survey indicates that

Food gradu ates are employed in areas of produci development marketing and food technology with majo r food companies Hou si ng emphasis graduates are wo rkshying with government agencies and in teac hing

Consumer Beha vio ur e mph asis graduates are in industry business and res earc h Tex tile and Clothin g e mph asis grads are employed in research merchandi sshying and banking Often after working for a year or

more Consumer Studies graduates will return to gradu ate study o r profess ional programs on a full- or part-time bas is

Child Studies

Many Child Studies graduates are emp loyed in teaching supervisory or other child-care related sett ings such as soc ial work with fami lies and children Re ported part -lime and temporary em pl oy ment pos ishytions include work as supply teachers child care supervisors special education leac hers and as lecturers in uni ve rsity settings

It is imporl an t to note that this emshyploy ment survey reports the caree r paths chose n by onl y one graduating cl ass Dat a is collccl~d on a yearl y bas is from gradu ates in Family and Consumer Studies In order to observe the broad scope of employment opportunities avail able a four-year tabulashytion wo uld pl~ c nt a more complete picture of the profess ional activities of graduates

In summary FACS programs offer students a sound educational background to meet the need s of i nduslry educational institut io ns governme nt and bus in c The future for FACS graduates is indeed bright as the College co ntinues to gro w and develop programs to meet the challenges of the 80s 0

FACS Prof First

Dr M urlin MUllhclIs

Director P ro fessor Anne Martin Matthews De shypart me nt of Family St udi es has been ap shypointed the first director of the Gnontology Research Centre The establi shment of the Centre was announced last February A research grant of $237000 from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada will fund the Centre for the first three years

Professor Martin Matthews has been conducting research related to the needs and interests of older segments of the populashytion as well as teaching courses in such areas as social gerontology and marital and family dynamics in Family Studies She has been a faculty member with the Department of Family Studies since 1978

She also has been active beyond the campus in programs related to aging She is chair-elect of the social sciences division Canadian Council on Gerontology and will begin a two-year term in the chair of that organization this year

She is also first vice-president of the

Ontario Gerontology Association and a member of the scientific advisory commitshytee of the Gerontology Research Council of Ontario She is a graduate of Memorial University of Newfoundland and McMaster University

With a steadily increasing percentage of the popUlation in the retirement age bracket it is important to understand more fully the ir needs and cuncerns sa ys Proshyfessor Martin Matthews The en tre will deal with the ag ing family and environshymental contexts In the latter sense we will be examinin g such things as the difference bet wee n aging in an urban and a rural society as well as issues like housing and the aging

The new Gerontology Research Centre will provide facilities to assist faculty members and graduate students doing reshysearch on aging The Centre will facilitate integrate and co-ordinate studies on aging within the University the director says

Research on aging is now being carried out at the Universi ty in such Departments as Family Studies Geography Psychology Nutrition Human Biology and SocioluFY and the Centre will be able to provide a medium for cross-fertilization of ideas among the many researchers in the field

Professor Marlin Matthews says that the Centre will be working co-operatively with other similar research centres in Onshytario such as the one at the University of Toronto in promoting research on aging The Centre will also sponsor conferences and workshops that relate to the special needs of older citizens in their communities

Guelph has demonstrated an interest in gerontology since 1970 when research projshyects began and courses dealing with aging were offered in the Departments of Family Studies and Psychology Since 1981 the Un i versity has offered gero ntology as part of the Famil y Studies major in the Bachelur of Applied Science program 0

Council for two years he was intimately involved in all the major re search de velopshyments in Canada in this field Hc feels that his e lec tio n to the Royal Society of Canada will help raise the prot1le of high-energy physics in this co untry and lend stren gth to Canadian experimenters

The citation prepared for his nominashytion to the Royal Society of Canada reads

Professor Karl is a high energy the ori st whose work is widely recognized interna tionally His deep physical insight and hi s kn ow led ge of mathemati ca l methods led to the quark model of baryon resonances based on quantum chromoshydynamics which has been enormousl) successful in describing experimental reshysuits H is re sea rch is characterized by striking originality and an ability to COIll shy

bine basic ideas from different field s as in the predictions of a new effect - neutron optical activity

Gabriel Karl is married and has one daughter W hen he is not probing the sec re ts of the universe he indulges himself in music theatre and the fine arts

He visited the Unive rsity of Briti sh Columbia in Vanco uver in May for the induction ceremony into the Royal Society of Canada on the occas ion of the Annual Meeting of the Society It marked he sa id the culmination of a long string of benefits that [ ha ve enjoyed throughout the 23 years 1 have lived in Ca nada [ have every rea son to be very grateful to th is country D

Elected to Royal Society

Dr Cooiel Korl

The election of Dr Gabriel Karl to a Fellowship of the Roy al Society of Canada represents what one of hi s colleagues Dr Peter Egelstaff desc ribe s as a rare honour which reflects great credit not only on Dr Karl but also on the Uni versi tys Departshyment of Physics

The Royal Society of Canada founded in 1882 to promote learning and research in the arts and sciences has numbered among its Fellows virtually all of Canadas most distinguished intellectual le ade rs of the last J00 yea rs Standards are jealously guarded and Fello wships are awarded only as a result of outstanding world-class ach ieve ment

The rarity of the honour is indicated by the fact that at the Un iversity of Guelph whose faculty includes so many academics of international distinction only five had previously achieved a Fellows hip in the Royal Society of Canada These are Dr Howard Clark vice- pres ident academic Dr Bruce Sells dean College of Biologishycal Science Dr Peter Egclstaff Depart shyment of Physics Dr Do nald Masters Prof ssor Emeri tu s De part mcnt of History and Dr He rb Armstrong retired dean of Graduate Studies

As the sixth Dr Ga briel Karl will have the added di st inction of bei ng the first whose career has been sp ot excl us ively at the Un ivers ity of Guelph which agai n to

quote Dr Egelstaff marks a coming of age for the University

Gabriel Karl was born in Transylvania a province of Romania He obtained his B Sc in Chemistry at Romani as Univershysity of ClUJ worked for two years in industry and came to Canada in 1960 He attended graduate school at th e University of Toronto where he was awarded a Ph D in 1966 for a thesis on infrared luminesshycence following molecular colli sion Hi s Ph D supervisor was the distinguished physical chemist Dr John Polanyi

A two-year post-doctora l fellowship with the University of Torontos Depart shyment of Physics followed His mentors there were Drs J Van Kranendonk and Duk Poll who is now a professor with the Universi ty of Guelph s Depa rtment of Ph ys ics

In 1966 Dr Karl studied at the Uni versity of Oxford for two years under an NRC scho larship to study hadron spec troshyscopy and in 1969 he Joi ned the Univers itys Department of Phy sics achieving a full professorship only five years later

Dr Karls work has focussed on high energy physics - the physics of fundamen shytal particles This is an esoteric field involvshying research into the nature of matter The relatively few world leaders in thi s field tend to cluster around the half-dozen accelerators such as the $100 million four kilumete rshylon g hi gh-e nergy tunnel for accelerating electrons at Stanford University that have been built only in the US and Europe

There is no accelerator of this energy level in Canad a and fe w Canadian scie nshyti ~ts are working in this field Dr Ka rl s statu re in the international commu nity of particle physic ists is marked by his many visi ts to the world s major research ce ntres as guest speaker and to consult with his peers Referring to the time spent on thcse missions Dr Karl describes the Depart shym nt of Phys ics and his colleag ues as generouslyaccommodati ng shy

Last fall I had the privilege of speakshy

ing to the direc tors of the University of G uelph Alumn i Assoc iation to bring them

up to date on some of the excit ing things connected with the College of Arts I am gratefu l to the editor of DELPHA for this

opportu nity to let alumni readers know what we are do ing

I am pleased to be able to report a subs tant ial increase in enrolment both in the

B A program and in the College o f Arts this past yea r What is especially nice is that this has coincided with a dec is ion to tighte n our

standards at the admissions level and in the regulations for continuatio n of study

In o rder to grad uate B A students

who entered the Spring 19~3 Semester will need to obtai n a C average in 60 per cent of the courses they take

Most of o ur students are doing thi s now and we do not antici pate this will pose any

problem for the students whom we are ad mitting Next year students en tering the

B A program will be required to have Grade 13 English and we are strongly encouraging them to offer a Mathematics credit o r o ne in French or ano ther language

Applications from students wish ing to enter the B A program in the Fall 1983 Semester

are up subs tantia lly over last yea r I also want to share with you some

ha ppenings which have brought special delight to me

Financial Management Related to Agriculture One of the main sessions at the OAC Agricu ltural Conference 83 dealt wit h financial management as it relates to agricu lture Robert Sanderson who is with the Ontario Farm Adjustment Asshysistance Program was a main speaker and presented the following paper

Ten years ago most farmers were smilingshyagr icu lt ure see med to have finally gained its reward Worl d short age s of food provided ampl e markets and steadily rising prices lor prac tica lly all crops

Thi s idea li s ti c situation continued for a co uple of years until the granaries of the wo rl d were refi li ed De mand then norshyma li zed and pri ces for most agricultural prod ucts hega n to dec line In spite of price dec lines and li mited markets co nsiderable optimi sm conti nued to be fe lt o n the farm sce ne thro ughout mos t of the 1970s

Late in that peri od infl a ti on reall y ca ught fi re rai sing inpu t cos ts for supplie s and labour The ri se in land pri ces exceeded the most optimis tic es timates during this sa me time

In an a tte mpt to s te m thi s ra mpant infla tio n interes t rates increased almost threefo ld beg inning In 1979 and the world hega n it s slide into recession Farml and prices ceased to r ise in 198 1 and are now crumbli ng wi th uncer tain ty and lac k o f demand

We have no doub ts abo ut th e successshyful future o f ag ri cult ure hcre in Ontari o but today for many farmers adj ugtt me nts are necessa ry to remain so lve nt and for too many oth ers bo th adj ustme nts and so me ass iq an ce are necessary for their prese nt and future surviva l

There are some who are beyo nd he lp and farm bankru ptcies are at their highest leve l since the grea t Depression o f the 1930s These cond it io ns brought about the crea tio n of the On tari o Farm AdJustmcn t Ass istance Program (OFA AP) T hi s proshygram during 1 9~2 has bee n assisting eli g ible farmers who needed he lp

2 The Aggres sive Expansionist

Many farmers who did well farming on a

modlst basis in the mid-70s dec ided that s ince o ne farm was pro fitabl e two wo uld be bette r three be tter than two Aggress ive

expan sion mos tl y on c redit du ring this i ntl a tio nary pe riod produced many paper millionaires in the farm co mmunity by the late 70s The elation fo r some of these

fa rmers d id not lasl far into the 80s T hose with 100 much bo rro wed cap ital

found that the ir farm income c ul d not

support the debt load So me of these

atlcmpted fu rthe r borro wing in an e ffort to mai nta in their ho l ding ~ and fo und ou t like o thers before them th at it is imposs ible to

borro w your way out of debt O thers so ld or tried to sell some o f the ir land o r eq uipment in an effort to re ti re at leasl o me of the ir cri ppling de bt and there by salvage at

least a part o f the ir operation

One rather sad varia tio n o f this las t s itua tion occ urs occ as io na lly whe re a

farmer who has had a succes~ fu l and so lvent opera tion decide to ex pand to a llow a son

o r so n- in-law into the bus in ss because of a des ire on the part of the young per on to

farm or occasionally because he is no t employed The expansion in Jand and eljuipment particularly if it occu rred in the

last three years and if it were do ne mainl y o n credit with a mortgage taken on his once so lvent operation has robbed the farmer of

his security and his peace of mind Furthershy

mo re in some of these s ituations the disappointed newcomer in the bus iness moved on leaving dear o ld dad to make the best of it

3 The Equipment Enthusiast

Another scenario concerns the man who is o bsessed with the need to ac quire equipshyment or to make add ition s and improveshy

ments to a lready adequate buildings To pay

for it out of the revolvi ng operating loan or to finance it in other ways withou t first having established that it will pay for itself will inevitably c reate financial problem s

Whe re there has been a general disregard for thi s kind of purchas ing the end resu lt has usually been disas trous

4 Natural Disasters

We regularly see the result s of natural

disas ters - floods windstorms hail frost disease and fires All of the se misfortunes can be c rippling to any operation but when adequate insurance coverage is not carried or if one of these di sasters occur whe n a farmers equity is low or when hi s princi pal and interest charges consume much o f his income it can be disastrous to his economic

pos ition

5 Family Unity

From OFAAP applicatio ns it is noted that some farmers who experience a marriage break- up seem to have diffi culty maintainshy

ing fi nanc ial solvency W hen asse ts are

di vided and whe n atte nt ion to management

is di e r ted hccause o f family pro blems the farm operation is often morta ll y wounded

Farmers and farm op ratnr are much more vulnerable in this si tua tio n because thei r

wives arc o ften much more invol ved in the e lllerprise than in non- farm situations

6 Offmiddot Farm Income

Appl ications incl ude a great nu mher of

insta nces in which if it were not fo r 0 ffmiddot fa rm income o f either the farmer or his wife or

occas io na lly both the ir farm o peratio n wo uld be tota lly un viable and unab le to continue to fu nc tion It is well the n fo r

those in th se c ircumstances to r cogniu tha t if the off-farnl inco me should e nd it wo uld also mea n the te rmination of the

farming operatio n

7 Enterprise Changes

A review 0 f appli ca tions indicates that some

farmers are hoping to comple tely change

thei r c rop or li ves toc k programs attemptin g perhaps to outguess the marke t and to

improve their financial return s Sometimes the expectation in vo lved in the dec is ion is

correct but so o ften when the costs inshyvol ved in the c hange are considered little

has been gai ned and where the deci s ion to change was unwi se co nsiderable loss is

usually the result The ot her extreme to this

situation is rigidity to the poi nt of makin g no changes at all

8 Manage ment

The management ability of any applicant

farmer is difficult to assess Most applicants are not known and there is no opportunity to assess the actual farm operation Ho wever

experience with OFAA P emph asizes that good financial management is c ritical to the

success of any farm operation Here is a li s t of definite Do and

Do nts that should be much in the minds of farmers operating in the present financial climate All of these suggestions re tlect the ex periences we have had working with

appli ca tions for O FAA P

The Definite Dos

Do base an operation on an informed farm

plan keep ing and using good record~ and approved acco unting proced ures Do work c losely wi th the credit source shy

usually the banker Plan and work within

ROllald S Rilchie A reporl on Senafor Piffields presemalion follows

Senator Pitfield paid tribute to Rona ld Ritchie his important work in the Glassco Commission and his influence in the estabshylishment of the Institute for Research on Public Policy

In thi s th oug htful and thoughtshyprovoking presentation Senator Pitfield outlined the need for and the desirability of more open discussion before policies are introduced but there are some very real difficulties associated with de vel oping some me chanis m that could foster and encourage such exchanges of ideas

[t was pointed out that because of the high degree of interdependency of modern society and the size and complexity of governments the making of public polic y must be an intellectual subject in its own right not just a conglomeration of di scishyplines It had become evident that

I A methodical analysis of government activity could lead to improvements in government effectiveness

2 Traini ng in making and managment of public policy was crucial and urgent

3 There were few in government who knew why things were done the way they were

4 The making and management of pubshylic policy was a subject unique in itself and required thinking through for itself

5 Universities and other training institushytions were not very useful in this training process universities being too removed from the actual experience of government and the government institutions being withshyout the detachment and intellectual rigour needed

Thus it became evident that there was a need for an institution that would be a repository of knowledge a pl ace of learnshying a foru m for debate and a means of communication co ncerning public policy

Proposal s emerged that the federal go vernment should assis t some of the organizations already in existence Comshypetition became keen and rivalry among institutions re su lted in grander more comshyplex proposals As a result the federal go vernment in 1968 decided to establish a think-tank of its own to take a more rigorous look at public polic y

The idea was not new In many countries the general thinking was that all problems could be so l ved by inrelleclUal anal ysis and the appl ication of modern techshyniques But the ne w Trudeau go vernment went even beyond providing more data It included public debate of public policy

But the think-tank was only one of the initiatives to aid in the formation of policies There was support for political parties through caucus funding offi ce space support staff and regional offices for Members of Parliament and internsh ip programs for students to work as assistan ts to MPs

Other support included green and white papers for discussion commissions of inquiry task forces public funding of non-political grou ps to encourage discusshysion and many others to increase the flow of information for consideration of alternashytives All were done to open up the process o f meaningful debate which would result in more effective and sound decisions

The th ink-tank was to be a centre for var ious kinds of people to di scuss public policy subjects which were often set aside because of day to day pressures At first it was to be very informal with distinguished people invited to participate Its integrity and permanency would be based on that of

were concerned that existing research instishytutes would be damaged They also wanted in volvement of business and professional communities This challenge to broaden the scope was gi ven to Ron Ritchie

Ritchie foresaw an institution that would be independent supported by an endowment which would not only support but st imu late debate on public policy

Man y fears were raised - that such a body would be taken o ver by academics that it would become a clique that govern shyments would battle for control etc But these were dealt with skillfully by Ritch ie and the Institute for Researc h on Public Policy was establ ished

What of its accomplishments~ This institute has been successfu l in

many ways in getting better information into debate [n the ten years since its beginning many studie s have been pubshyli shed It has held many informat ive confershyences and has a unique journal Howeve r despite its efforts open and meaningful debate on public policy is not much more advanced tod ay than it was a decade ago

It is evident that to ach ie ve its objecshytives there mu st be a willingess to change opi nions and the Canadian sys tem prov ides few forums for the changing of minds The bias is towards decision-makers and interest groups not open and meaningful debate

Public debate often takes pl ace after rather than before the decision is taken Thi s may not be what is wanted but policy-making is tilted not tow ards being open but towards being closed

Why has there not been more progress [n h is pre se ntation Mi chael Pitfield refershyred to the fact that the go vernment whose people should discuss the si tuation has become even more confrontational not because of lack of information but because of rigidity in their approach to discussion of public policy

As govern ment ha s grown so have checks and balances which recently have often been linked to lack of confidence Where slim majorities exist a strong opposhysi tion can threaten the government Party di sc ipline becomes severe and ai ring of independent views is discouraged The fear of a government being defeated on the one shyhand and the unyielding demands ot the opposition on the other tends to make the parliamentary process less and less flexible

The result of the foregOing is the tendency of government in modern times to drop solutions on a public th at may not be aware of the problems These solutions are not open to argu ment and debate is reduced

conld over

27

w ith bias tending towards a cl osed system and less debate

To improve the situation it seems it wlluld be necessary to have a mutual and

ba lanced reduction of force on both sides

The ge neral equilibrium of the system needs to be ma in tained W hat is needed is the reduction of secre tiveness of the gove rn shyment on one side and a reduc tion of the

danger of e mbarrass ment or de fea t of the govern men t on the other side

T here must be a wil li ngness to secure

more ope n debate on al l sides and our

leaders ha ve not done that e ven on m ost import ant issues More ope n and rneltll1 ingshyful deba te will require more thi nk ingshy

thro u middoth - something Mc mbers of Parlishy

ame nt may not he able to do or be free to do or have the necessary knowledge to do But the id ea behind the Institute for Remiddot

search on Public Policy was tha t such a body could bring about better decisions

All publi c problems cannot be solved by thought and tech nolog ics but few can be solved without these contr ibutions

The Institute for Research on Public Policy cannot create better public policies

by itself It must have input from all sectors to bring about more open and meaningful public debate which will result in constant

improvement of government - somethin g

that everyone desires 0

Council for two years he was intimately involved in all the major re search de velopshyments in Canada in this field Hc feels that his e lec tio n to the Royal Society of Canada will help raise the prot1le of high-energy physics in this co untry and lend stren gth to Canadian experimenters

The citation prepared for his nominashytion to the Royal Society of Canada reads

Professor Karl is a high energy the ori st whose work is widely recognized interna tionally His deep physical insight and hi s kn ow led ge of mathemati ca l methods led to the quark model of baryon resonances based on quantum chromoshydynamics which has been enormousl) successful in describing experimental reshysuits H is re sea rch is characterized by striking originality and an ability to COIll shy

bine basic ideas from different field s as in the predictions of a new effect - neutron optical activity

Gabriel Karl is married and has one daughter W hen he is not probing the sec re ts of the universe he indulges himself in music theatre and the fine arts

He visited the Unive rsity of Briti sh Columbia in Vanco uver in May for the induction ceremony into the Royal Society of Canada on the occas ion of the Annual Meeting of the Society It marked he sa id the culmination of a long string of benefits that [ ha ve enjoyed throughout the 23 years 1 have lived in Ca nada [ have every rea son to be very grateful to th is country D

Erratum In the Sprin g issue o r SCiMP it was erroneously reported in the c utline accompanyin g a pict ure of Departshyme nt of Physics student scholarship winners that they were the recipients of 0 er $ 1500 We dropped a zero The fi gure should have read $ 15000 Sorry about tha t Ed

Elected to Royal Society

Dr Cooiel Korl

The election of Dr Gabriel Karl to a Fellowship of the Roy al Society of Canada represents what one of hi s colleagues Dr Peter Egelstaff desc ribe s as a rare honour which reflects great credit not only on Dr Karl but also on the Uni versi tys Departshyment of Physics

The Royal Society of Canada founded in 1882 to promote learning and research in the arts and sciences has numbered among its Fellows virtually all of Canadas most distinguished intellectual le ade rs of the last J00 yea rs Standards are jealously guarded and Fello wships are awarded only as a result of outstanding world-class ach ieve ment

The rarity of the honour is indicated by the fact that at the Un iversity of Guelph whose faculty includes so many academics of international distinction only five had previously achieved a Fellows hip in the Royal Society of Canada These are Dr Howard Clark vice- pres ident academic Dr Bruce Sells dean College of Biologishycal Science Dr Peter Egclstaff Depart shyment of Physics Dr Do nald Masters Prof ssor Emeri tu s De part mcnt of History and Dr He rb Armstrong retired dean of Graduate Studies

As the sixth Dr Ga briel Karl will have the added di st inction of bei ng the first whose career has been sp ot excl us ively at the Un ivers ity of Guelph which agai n to

quote Dr Egelstaff marks a coming of age for the University

Gabriel Karl was born in Transylvania a province of Romania He obtained his B Sc in Chemistry at Romani as Univershysity of ClUJ worked for two years in industry and came to Canada in 1960 He attended graduate school at th e University of Toronto where he was awarded a Ph D in 1966 for a thesis on infrared luminesshycence following molecular colli sion Hi s Ph D supervisor was the distinguished physical chemist Dr John Polanyi

A two-year post-doctora l fellowship with the University of Torontos Depart shyment of Physics followed His mentors there were Drs J Van Kranendonk and Duk Poll who is now a professor with the Universi ty of Guelph s Depa rtment of Ph ys ics

In 1966 Dr Karl studied at the Uni versity of Oxford for two years under an NRC scho larship to study hadron spec troshyscopy and in 1969 he Joi ned the Univers itys Department of Phy sics achieving a full professorship only five years later

Dr Karls work has focussed on high energy physics - the physics of fundamen shytal particles This is an esoteric field involvshying research into the nature of matter The relatively few world leaders in thi s field tend to cluster around the half-dozen accelerators such as the $100 million four kilumete rshylon g hi gh-e nergy tunnel for accelerating electrons at Stanford University that have been built only in the US and Europe

There is no accelerator of this energy level in Canad a and fe w Canadian scie nshyti ~ts are working in this field Dr Ka rl s statu re in the international commu nity of particle physic ists is marked by his many visi ts to the world s major research ce ntres as guest speaker and to consult with his peers Referring to the time spent on thcse missions Dr Karl describes the Depart shym nt of Phys ics and his colleag ues as generouslyaccommodati ng shy

up to date on some of the excit ing things connected with the College of Arts I am gratefu l to the editor of DELPHA for this

opportu nity to let alumni readers know what we are do ing

I am pleased to be able to report a subs tant ial increase in enrolment both in the

B A program and in the College o f Arts this past yea r What is especially nice is that this has coincided with a dec is ion to tighte n our

standards at the admissions level and in the regulations for continuatio n of study

In o rder to grad uate B A students

who entered the Spring 19~3 Semester will need to obtai n a C average in 60 per cent of the courses they take

Most of o ur students are doing thi s now and we do not antici pate this will pose any

problem for the students whom we are ad mitting Next year students en tering the

B A program will be required to have Grade 13 English and we are strongly encouraging them to offer a Mathematics credit o r o ne in French or ano ther language

Applications from students wish ing to enter the B A program in the Fall 1983 Semester

are up subs tantia lly over last yea r I also want to share with you some

ha ppenings which have brought special delight to me

last three years and if it were do ne mainl y o n credit with a mortgage taken on his once so lvent operation has robbed the farmer of

his security and his peace of mind Furthershy

for it out of the revolvi ng operating loan or to finance it in other ways withou t first having established that it will pay for itself will inevitably c reate financial problem s

Whe re there has been a general disregard for thi s kind of purchas ing the end resu lt has usually been disas trous

4 Natural Disasters

We regularly see the result s of natural

disas ters - floods windstorms hail frost disease and fires All of the se misfortunes can be c rippling to any operation but when adequate insurance coverage is not carried or if one of these di sasters occur whe n a farmers equity is low or when hi s princi pal and interest charges consume much o f his income it can be disastrous to his economic

pos ition

5 Family Unity

From OFAAP applicatio ns it is noted that some farmers who experience a marriage break- up seem to have diffi culty maintainshy

ing fi nanc ial solvency W hen asse ts are

di vided and whe n atte nt ion to management

is di e r ted hccause o f family pro blems the farm operation is often morta ll y wounded

Farmers and farm op ratnr are much more vulnerable in this si tua tio n because thei r

wives arc o ften much more invol ved in the e lllerprise than in non- farm situations

6 Offmiddot Farm Income

Appl ications incl ude a great nu mher of

insta nces in which if it were not fo r 0 ffmiddot fa rm income o f either the farmer or his wife or

occas io na lly both the ir farm o peratio n wo uld be tota lly un viable and unab le to continue to fu nc tion It is well the n fo r

those in th se c ircumstances to r cogniu tha t if the off-farnl inco me should e nd it wo uld also mea n the te rmination of the

farming operatio n

7 Enterprise Changes

A review 0 f appli ca tions indicates that some

farmers are hoping to comple tely change

thei r c rop or li ves toc k programs attemptin g perhaps to outguess the marke t and to

improve their financial return s Sometimes the expectation in vo lved in the dec is ion is

correct but so o ften when the costs inshyvol ved in the c hange are considered little

has been gai ned and where the deci s ion to change was unwi se co nsiderable loss is

usually the result The ot her extreme to this

situation is rigidity to the poi nt of makin g no changes at all

8 Manage ment

The management ability of any applicant

farmer is difficult to assess Most applicants are not known and there is no opportunity to assess the actual farm operation Ho wever

experience with OFAA P emph asizes that good financial management is c ritical to the

success of any farm operation Here is a li s t of definite Do and

Do nts that should be much in the minds of farmers operating in the present financial climate All of these suggestions re tlect the ex periences we have had working with

appli ca tions for O FAA P

The Definite Dos

Do base an operation on an informed farm

plan keep ing and using good record~ and approved acco unting proced ures Do work c losely wi th the credit source shy

usually the banker Plan and work within

approved revo lving ope rating loan limits Make regular cred it payments when due and when unable to make p ro per arrange shy

ments ahead of time w ith your c reditor or credito rs Do make necessary adju stme nts in land and equipm e nt befo re u nder tak ing further borrow in g Do shop around for cred it and i nve~ tig ate

ava il ah le programs to cu t credit cos ts Do pay off on loans when surplus cas h is

ava il able It won t be any fun but it w ill

he lp to re tain sol vency Do try to ma intai n stability in your far m o peration and kee p the peace a t h IllC

Do seek the professi o nal adv ice of you r ag ric ultu ra l represe ntative anJ Ir indwtry fiel d per~on ne I

The Definite Donts

Dont borrow for capita l items unless they

are abso lu te I y necessary Dont make capi ta l purchases with funds

frolll your revo lvi ng opera ting account w ithout co nsul ta tion and agreeme nt with

the bank manager Dont expand any operation without sound

pl ann ing Dont plunge and make rapid changes in

the ope rati ng patte rn without so und consultation 0

ROllald S Rilchie A reporl on Senafor Piffields presemalion follows

Senator Pitfield paid tribute to Rona ld Ritchie his important work in the Glassco Commission and his influence in the estabshylishment of the Institute for Research on Public Policy

In thi s th oug htful and thoughtshyprovoking presentation Senator Pitfield outlined the need for and the desirability of more open discussion before policies are introduced but there are some very real difficulties associated with de vel oping some me chanis m that could foster and encourage such exchanges of ideas

[t was pointed out that because of the high degree of interdependency of modern society and the size and complexity of governments the making of public polic y must be an intellectual subject in its own right not just a conglomeration of di scishyplines It had become evident that

I A methodical analysis of government activity could lead to improvements in government effectiveness

2 Traini ng in making and managment of public policy was crucial and urgent

3 There were few in government who knew why things were done the way they were

4 The making and management of pubshylic policy was a subject unique in itself and required thinking through for itself

5 Universities and other training institushytions were not very useful in this training process universities being too removed from the actual experience of government and the government institutions being withshyout the detachment and intellectual rigour needed

Thus it became evident that there was a need for an institution that would be a repository of knowledge a pl ace of learnshying a foru m for debate and a means of communication co ncerning public policy

Proposal s emerged that the federal go vernment should assis t some of the organizations already in existence Comshypetition became keen and rivalry among institutions re su lted in grander more comshyplex proposals As a result the federal go vernment in 1968 decided to establish a think-tank of its own to take a more rigorous look at public polic y

The idea was not new In many countries the general thinking was that all problems could be so l ved by inrelleclUal anal ysis and the appl ication of modern techshyniques But the ne w Trudeau go vernment went even beyond providing more data It included public debate of public policy

But the think-tank was only one of the initiatives to aid in the formation of policies There was support for political parties through caucus funding offi ce space support staff and regional offices for Members of Parliament and internsh ip programs for students to work as assistan ts to MPs

Other support included green and white papers for discussion commissions of inquiry task forces public funding of non-political grou ps to encourage discusshysion and many others to increase the flow of information for consideration of alternashytives All were done to open up the process o f meaningful debate which would result in more effective and sound decisions

The th ink-tank was to be a centre for var ious kinds of people to di scuss public policy subjects which were often set aside because of day to day pressures At first it was to be very informal with distinguished people invited to participate Its integrity and permanency would be based on that of

were concerned that existing research instishytutes would be damaged They also wanted in volvement of business and professional communities This challenge to broaden the scope was gi ven to Ron Ritchie

Ritchie foresaw an institution that would be independent supported by an endowment which would not only support but st imu late debate on public policy

Man y fears were raised - that such a body would be taken o ver by academics that it would become a clique that govern shyments would battle for control etc But these were dealt with skillfully by Ritch ie and the Institute for Researc h on Public Policy was establ ished

What of its accomplishments~ This institute has been successfu l in

many ways in getting better information into debate [n the ten years since its beginning many studie s have been pubshyli shed It has held many informat ive confershyences and has a unique journal Howeve r despite its efforts open and meaningful debate on public policy is not much more advanced tod ay than it was a decade ago

It is evident that to ach ie ve its objecshytives there mu st be a willingess to change opi nions and the Canadian sys tem prov ides few forums for the changing of minds The bias is towards decision-makers and interest groups not open and meaningful debate

Public debate often takes pl ace after rather than before the decision is taken Thi s may not be what is wanted but policy-making is tilted not tow ards being open but towards being closed

Why has there not been more progress [n h is pre se ntation Mi chael Pitfield refershyred to the fact that the go vernment whose people should discuss the si tuation has become even more confrontational not because of lack of information but because of rigidity in their approach to discussion of public policy

As govern ment ha s grown so have checks and balances which recently have often been linked to lack of confidence Where slim majorities exist a strong opposhysi tion can threaten the government Party di sc ipline becomes severe and ai ring of independent views is discouraged The fear of a government being defeated on the one shyhand and the unyielding demands ot the opposition on the other tends to make the parliamentary process less and less flexible

The result of the foregOing is the tendency of government in modern times to drop solutions on a public th at may not be aware of the problems These solutions are not open to argu ment and debate is reduced

conld over

27

w ith bias tending towards a cl osed system and less debate

To improve the situation it seems it wlluld be necessary to have a mutual and

ba lanced reduction of force on both sides

The ge neral equilibrium of the system needs to be ma in tained W hat is needed is the reduction of secre tiveness of the gove rn shyment on one side and a reduc tion of the

danger of e mbarrass ment or de fea t of the govern men t on the other side

T here must be a wil li ngness to secure

more ope n debate on al l sides and our

leaders ha ve not done that e ven on m ost import ant issues More ope n and rneltll1 ingshyful deba te will require more thi nk ingshy

thro u middoth - something Mc mbers of Parlishy

ame nt may not he able to do or be free to do or have the necessary knowledge to do But the id ea behind the Institute for Remiddot

search on Public Policy was tha t such a body could bring about better decisions

All publi c problems cannot be solved by thought and tech nolog ics but few can be solved without these contr ibutions

The Institute for Research on Public Policy cannot create better public policies

by itself It must have input from all sectors to bring about more open and meaningful public debate which will result in constant

improvement of government - somethin g

that everyone desires 0

SCIMP Editor Bob Winkel

phy sics grant selection committee of thc atural Sciences and Engineering Research

Council for two years he was intimately involved in all the major re search de velopshyments in Canada in this field Hc feels that his e lec tio n to the Royal Society of Canada will help raise the prot1le of high-energy physics in this co untry and lend stren gth to Canadian experimenters

The citation prepared for his nominashytion to the Royal Society of Canada reads

Professor Karl is a high energy the ori st whose work is widely recognized interna tionally His deep physical insight and hi s kn ow led ge of mathemati ca l methods led to the quark model of baryon resonances based on quantum chromoshydynamics which has been enormousl) successful in describing experimental reshysuits H is re sea rch is characterized by striking originality and an ability to COIll shy

bine basic ideas from different field s as in the predictions of a new effect - neutron optical activity

Gabriel Karl is married and has one daughter W hen he is not probing the sec re ts of the universe he indulges himself in music theatre and the fine arts

He visited the Unive rsity of Briti sh Columbia in Vanco uver in May for the induction ceremony into the Royal Society of Canada on the occas ion of the Annual Meeting of the Society It marked he sa id the culmination of a long string of benefits that [ ha ve enjoyed throughout the 23 years 1 have lived in Ca nada [ have every rea son to be very grateful to th is country D

Erratum In the Sprin g issue o r SCiMP it was erroneously reported in the c utline accompanyin g a pict ure of Departshyme nt of Physics student scholarship winners that they were the recipients of 0 er $ 1500 We dropped a zero The fi gure should have read $ 15000 Sorry about tha t Ed

Elected to Royal Society

Dr Cooiel Korl

The election of Dr Gabriel Karl to a Fellowship of the Roy al Society of Canada represents what one of hi s colleagues Dr Peter Egelstaff desc ribe s as a rare honour which reflects great credit not only on Dr Karl but also on the Uni versi tys Departshyment of Physics

The Royal Society of Canada founded in 1882 to promote learning and research in the arts and sciences has numbered among its Fellows virtually all of Canadas most distinguished intellectual le ade rs of the last J00 yea rs Standards are jealously guarded and Fello wships are awarded only as a result of outstanding world-class ach ieve ment

The rarity of the honour is indicated by the fact that at the Un iversity of Guelph whose faculty includes so many academics of international distinction only five had previously achieved a Fellows hip in the Royal Society of Canada These are Dr Howard Clark vice- pres ident academic Dr Bruce Sells dean College of Biologishycal Science Dr Peter Egclstaff Depart shyment of Physics Dr Do nald Masters Prof ssor Emeri tu s De part mcnt of History and Dr He rb Armstrong retired dean of Graduate Studies

As the sixth Dr Ga briel Karl will have the added di st inction of bei ng the first whose career has been sp ot excl us ively at the Un ivers ity of Guelph which agai n to

quote Dr Egelstaff marks a coming of age for the University

Gabriel Karl was born in Transylvania a province of Romania He obtained his B Sc in Chemistry at Romani as Univershysity of ClUJ worked for two years in industry and came to Canada in 1960 He attended graduate school at th e University of Toronto where he was awarded a Ph D in 1966 for a thesis on infrared luminesshycence following molecular colli sion Hi s Ph D supervisor was the distinguished physical chemist Dr John Polanyi

A two-year post-doctora l fellowship with the University of Torontos Depart shyment of Physics followed His mentors there were Drs J Van Kranendonk and Duk Poll who is now a professor with the Universi ty of Guelph s Depa rtment of Ph ys ics

In 1966 Dr Karl studied at the Uni versity of Oxford for two years under an NRC scho larship to study hadron spec troshyscopy and in 1969 he Joi ned the Univers itys Department of Phy sics achieving a full professorship only five years later

Dr Karls work has focussed on high energy physics - the physics of fundamen shytal particles This is an esoteric field involvshying research into the nature of matter The relatively few world leaders in thi s field tend to cluster around the half-dozen accelerators such as the $100 million four kilumete rshylon g hi gh-e nergy tunnel for accelerating electrons at Stanford University that have been built only in the US and Europe

There is no accelerator of this energy level in Canad a and fe w Canadian scie nshyti ~ts are working in this field Dr Ka rl s statu re in the international commu nity of particle physic ists is marked by his many visi ts to the world s major research ce ntres as guest speaker and to consult with his peers Referring to the time spent on thcse missions Dr Karl describes the Depart shym nt of Phys ics and his colleag ues as generouslyaccommodati ng shy

up to date on some of the excit ing things connected with the College of Arts I am gratefu l to the editor of DELPHA for this

opportu nity to let alumni readers know what we are do ing

I am pleased to be able to report a subs tant ial increase in enrolment both in the

B A program and in the College o f Arts this past yea r What is especially nice is that this has coincided with a dec is ion to tighte n our

standards at the admissions level and in the regulations for continuatio n of study

In o rder to grad uate B A students

who entered the Spring 19~3 Semester will need to obtai n a C average in 60 per cent of the courses they take

Most of o ur students are doing thi s now and we do not antici pate this will pose any

problem for the students whom we are ad mitting Next year students en tering the

B A program will be required to have Grade 13 English and we are strongly encouraging them to offer a Mathematics credit o r o ne in French or ano ther language

Applications from students wish ing to enter the B A program in the Fall 1983 Semester

are up subs tantia lly over last yea r I also want to share with you some

ha ppenings which have brought special delight to me

Helen Christine AbeD Mac 38D

Amo ng the forerunners in the fie ld of rural soc iol ogy not only in Canada

but throughout the world and with a long career as a professor in numerous un iversities ac ross Canada Dr Helen C Abell has und oubted ly do ne much to promote a world -w ide reputation for her Alma Mater

Dr Abell has been most active in a numbe r of United Nat io ns programs designed to foster development of th ose in the Third World countrie s Although os ten sibl y retired she still co nt inues her wo rk as a cons ult ant in Socio-Economic De ve lopme nt assisti ng in develop ing sho rt -term project s as the occasion ari ses

As well as a Macdona ld Ins titu te Diploshyma Dr Abell obtained a BHSc (H ome Economics) from the Universi ty of Toro nto in 1941 and an MS (Human Nutrition) and a Ph D (major Rural Sociology and Agri cul shytural Economics) from Cornell University in 1947 and 1951 re specti vel y 0

2 The Aggres sive Expansionist

Many farmers who did well farming on a

modlst basis in the mid-70s dec ided that s ince o ne farm was pro fitabl e two wo uld be bette r three be tter than two Aggress ive

expan sion mos tl y on c redit du ring this i ntl a tio nary pe riod produced many paper millionaires in the farm co mmunity by the late 70s The elation fo r some of these

fa rmers d id not lasl far into the 80s T hose with 100 much bo rro wed cap ital

found that the ir farm income c ul d not

support the debt load So me of these

atlcmpted fu rthe r borro wing in an e ffort to mai nta in their ho l ding ~ and fo und ou t like o thers before them th at it is imposs ible to

borro w your way out of debt O thers so ld or tried to sell some o f the ir land o r eq uipment in an effort to re ti re at leasl o me of the ir cri ppling de bt and there by salvage at

least a part o f the ir operation

One rather sad varia tio n o f this las t s itua tion occ urs occ as io na lly whe re a

farmer who has had a succes~ fu l and so lvent opera tion decide to ex pand to a llow a son

o r so n- in-law into the bus in ss because of a des ire on the part of the young per on to

farm or occasionally because he is no t employed The expansion in Jand and eljuipment particularly if it occu rred in the

last three years and if it were do ne mainl y o n credit with a mortgage taken on his once so lvent operation has robbed the farmer of

his security and his peace of mind Furthershy

mo re in some of these s ituations the disappointed newcomer in the bus iness moved on leaving dear o ld dad to make the best of it

3 The Equipment Enthusiast

Another scenario concerns the man who is o bsessed with the need to ac quire equipshyment or to make add ition s and improveshy

ments to a lready adequate buildings To pay

for it out of the revolvi ng operating loan or to finance it in other ways withou t first having established that it will pay for itself will inevitably c reate financial problem s

Whe re there has been a general disregard for thi s kind of purchas ing the end resu lt has usually been disas trous

4 Natural Disasters

We regularly see the result s of natural

disas ters - floods windstorms hail frost disease and fires All of the se misfortunes can be c rippling to any operation but when adequate insurance coverage is not carried or if one of these di sasters occur whe n a farmers equity is low or when hi s princi pal and interest charges consume much o f his income it can be disastrous to his economic

pos ition

5 Family Unity

From OFAAP applicatio ns it is noted that some farmers who experience a marriage break- up seem to have diffi culty maintainshy

ing fi nanc ial solvency W hen asse ts are

di vided and whe n atte nt ion to management

is di e r ted hccause o f family pro blems the farm operation is often morta ll y wounded

Farmers and farm op ratnr are much more vulnerable in this si tua tio n because thei r

wives arc o ften much more invol ved in the e lllerprise than in non- farm situations

6 Offmiddot Farm Income

Appl ications incl ude a great nu mher of

insta nces in which if it were not fo r 0 ffmiddot fa rm income o f either the farmer or his wife or

occas io na lly both the ir farm o peratio n wo uld be tota lly un viable and unab le to continue to fu nc tion It is well the n fo r

those in th se c ircumstances to r cogniu tha t if the off-farnl inco me should e nd it wo uld also mea n the te rmination of the

farming operatio n

7 Enterprise Changes

A review 0 f appli ca tions indicates that some

farmers are hoping to comple tely change

thei r c rop or li ves toc k programs attemptin g perhaps to outguess the marke t and to

improve their financial return s Sometimes the expectation in vo lved in the dec is ion is

correct but so o ften when the costs inshyvol ved in the c hange are considered little

has been gai ned and where the deci s ion to change was unwi se co nsiderable loss is

usually the result The ot her extreme to this

situation is rigidity to the poi nt of makin g no changes at all

8 Manage ment

The management ability of any applicant

farmer is difficult to assess Most applicants are not known and there is no opportunity to assess the actual farm operation Ho wever

experience with OFAA P emph asizes that good financial management is c ritical to the

success of any farm operation Here is a li s t of definite Do and

Do nts that should be much in the minds of farmers operating in the present financial climate All of these suggestions re tlect the ex periences we have had working with

appli ca tions for O FAA P

ROllald S Rilchie A reporl on Senafor Piffields presemalion follows

Senator Pitfield paid tribute to Rona ld Ritchie his important work in the Glassco Commission and his influence in the estabshylishment of the Institute for Research on Public Policy

In thi s th oug htful and thoughtshyprovoking presentation Senator Pitfield outlined the need for and the desirability of more open discussion before policies are introduced but there are some very real difficulties associated with de vel oping some me chanis m that could foster and encourage such exchanges of ideas

[t was pointed out that because of the high degree of interdependency of modern society and the size and complexity of governments the making of public polic y must be an intellectual subject in its own right not just a conglomeration of di scishyplines It had become evident that

I A methodical analysis of government activity could lead to improvements in government effectiveness

2 Traini ng in making and managment of public policy was crucial and urgent

3 There were few in government who knew why things were done the way they were

4 The making and management of pubshylic policy was a subject unique in itself and required thinking through for itself

5 Universities and other training institushytions were not very useful in this training process universities being too removed from the actual experience of government and the government institutions being withshyout the detachment and intellectual rigour needed

Thus it became evident that there was a need for an institution that would be a repository of knowledge a pl ace of learnshying a foru m for debate and a means of communication co ncerning public policy

Proposal s emerged that the federal go vernment should assis t some of the organizations already in existence Comshypetition became keen and rivalry among institutions re su lted in grander more comshyplex proposals As a result the federal go vernment in 1968 decided to establish a think-tank of its own to take a more rigorous look at public polic y

The idea was not new In many countries the general thinking was that all problems could be so l ved by inrelleclUal anal ysis and the appl ication of modern techshyniques But the ne w Trudeau go vernment went even beyond providing more data It included public debate of public policy

But the think-tank was only one of the initiatives to aid in the formation of policies There was support for political parties through caucus funding offi ce space support staff and regional offices for Members of Parliament and internsh ip programs for students to work as assistan ts to MPs

Other support included green and white papers for discussion commissions of inquiry task forces public funding of non-political grou ps to encourage discusshysion and many others to increase the flow of information for consideration of alternashytives All were done to open up the process o f meaningful debate which would result in more effective and sound decisions

The th ink-tank was to be a centre for var ious kinds of people to di scuss public policy subjects which were often set aside because of day to day pressures At first it was to be very informal with distinguished people invited to participate Its integrity and permanency would be based on that of

were concerned that existing research instishytutes would be damaged They also wanted in volvement of business and professional communities This challenge to broaden the scope was gi ven to Ron Ritchie

Ritchie foresaw an institution that would be independent supported by an endowment which would not only support but st imu late debate on public policy

Man y fears were raised - that such a body would be taken o ver by academics that it would become a clique that govern shyments would battle for control etc But these were dealt with skillfully by Ritch ie and the Institute for Researc h on Public Policy was establ ished

What of its accomplishments~ This institute has been successfu l in

many ways in getting better information into debate [n the ten years since its beginning many studie s have been pubshyli shed It has held many informat ive confershyences and has a unique journal Howeve r despite its efforts open and meaningful debate on public policy is not much more advanced tod ay than it was a decade ago

It is evident that to ach ie ve its objecshytives there mu st be a willingess to change opi nions and the Canadian sys tem prov ides few forums for the changing of minds The bias is towards decision-makers and interest groups not open and meaningful debate

Public debate often takes pl ace after rather than before the decision is taken Thi s may not be what is wanted but policy-making is tilted not tow ards being open but towards being closed

Why has there not been more progress [n h is pre se ntation Mi chael Pitfield refershyred to the fact that the go vernment whose people should discuss the si tuation has become even more confrontational not because of lack of information but because of rigidity in their approach to discussion of public policy

As govern ment ha s grown so have checks and balances which recently have often been linked to lack of confidence Where slim majorities exist a strong opposhysi tion can threaten the government Party di sc ipline becomes severe and ai ring of independent views is discouraged The fear of a government being defeated on the one shyhand and the unyielding demands ot the opposition on the other tends to make the parliamentary process less and less flexible

The result of the foregOing is the tendency of government in modern times to drop solutions on a public th at may not be aware of the problems These solutions are not open to argu ment and debate is reduced

conld over

27

w ith bias tending towards a cl osed system and less debate

To improve the situation it seems it wlluld be necessary to have a mutual and

ba lanced reduction of force on both sides

The ge neral equilibrium of the system needs to be ma in tained W hat is needed is the reduction of secre tiveness of the gove rn shyment on one side and a reduc tion of the

danger of e mbarrass ment or de fea t of the govern men t on the other side

T here must be a wil li ngness to secure

more ope n debate on al l sides and our

leaders ha ve not done that e ven on m ost import ant issues More ope n and rneltll1 ingshyful deba te will require more thi nk ingshy

thro u middoth - something Mc mbers of Parlishy

ame nt may not he able to do or be free to do or have the necessary knowledge to do But the id ea behind the Institute for Remiddot

search on Public Policy was tha t such a body could bring about better decisions

All publi c problems cannot be solved by thought and tech nolog ics but few can be solved without these contr ibutions

The Institute for Research on Public Policy cannot create better public policies

by itself It must have input from all sectors to bring about more open and meaningful public debate which will result in constant

improvement of government - somethin g

that everyone desires 0

SCIMP Editor Bob Winkel

phy sics grant selection committee of thc atural Sciences and Engineering Research

Council for two years he was intimately involved in all the major re search de velopshyments in Canada in this field Hc feels that his e lec tio n to the Royal Society of Canada will help raise the prot1le of high-energy physics in this co untry and lend stren gth to Canadian experimenters

The citation prepared for his nominashytion to the Royal Society of Canada reads

Professor Karl is a high energy the ori st whose work is widely recognized interna tionally His deep physical insight and hi s kn ow led ge of mathemati ca l methods led to the quark model of baryon resonances based on quantum chromoshydynamics which has been enormousl) successful in describing experimental reshysuits H is re sea rch is characterized by striking originality and an ability to COIll shy

bine basic ideas from different field s as in the predictions of a new effect - neutron optical activity

Gabriel Karl is married and has one daughter W hen he is not probing the sec re ts of the universe he indulges himself in music theatre and the fine arts

He visited the Unive rsity of Briti sh Columbia in Vanco uver in May for the induction ceremony into the Royal Society of Canada on the occas ion of the Annual Meeting of the Society It marked he sa id the culmination of a long string of benefits that [ ha ve enjoyed throughout the 23 years 1 have lived in Ca nada [ have every rea son to be very grateful to th is country D

Erratum In the Sprin g issue o r SCiMP it was erroneously reported in the c utline accompanyin g a pict ure of Departshyme nt of Physics student scholarship winners that they were the recipients of 0 er $ 1500 We dropped a zero The fi gure should have read $ 15000 Sorry about tha t Ed

Elected to Royal Society

Dr Cooiel Korl

The election of Dr Gabriel Karl to a Fellowship of the Roy al Society of Canada represents what one of hi s colleagues Dr Peter Egelstaff desc ribe s as a rare honour which reflects great credit not only on Dr Karl but also on the Uni versi tys Departshyment of Physics

The Royal Society of Canada founded in 1882 to promote learning and research in the arts and sciences has numbered among its Fellows virtually all of Canadas most distinguished intellectual le ade rs of the last J00 yea rs Standards are jealously guarded and Fello wships are awarded only as a result of outstanding world-class ach ieve ment

The rarity of the honour is indicated by the fact that at the Un iversity of Guelph whose faculty includes so many academics of international distinction only five had previously achieved a Fellows hip in the Royal Society of Canada These are Dr Howard Clark vice- pres ident academic Dr Bruce Sells dean College of Biologishycal Science Dr Peter Egclstaff Depart shyment of Physics Dr Do nald Masters Prof ssor Emeri tu s De part mcnt of History and Dr He rb Armstrong retired dean of Graduate Studies

As the sixth Dr Ga briel Karl will have the added di st inction of bei ng the first whose career has been sp ot excl us ively at the Un ivers ity of Guelph which agai n to

quote Dr Egelstaff marks a coming of age for the University

Gabriel Karl was born in Transylvania a province of Romania He obtained his B Sc in Chemistry at Romani as Univershysity of ClUJ worked for two years in industry and came to Canada in 1960 He attended graduate school at th e University of Toronto where he was awarded a Ph D in 1966 for a thesis on infrared luminesshycence following molecular colli sion Hi s Ph D supervisor was the distinguished physical chemist Dr John Polanyi

A two-year post-doctora l fellowship with the University of Torontos Depart shyment of Physics followed His mentors there were Drs J Van Kranendonk and Duk Poll who is now a professor with the Universi ty of Guelph s Depa rtment of Ph ys ics

In 1966 Dr Karl studied at the Uni versity of Oxford for two years under an NRC scho larship to study hadron spec troshyscopy and in 1969 he Joi ned the Univers itys Department of Phy sics achieving a full professorship only five years later

Dr Karls work has focussed on high energy physics - the physics of fundamen shytal particles This is an esoteric field involvshying research into the nature of matter The relatively few world leaders in thi s field tend to cluster around the half-dozen accelerators such as the $100 million four kilumete rshylon g hi gh-e nergy tunnel for accelerating electrons at Stanford University that have been built only in the US and Europe

There is no accelerator of this energy level in Canad a and fe w Canadian scie nshyti ~ts are working in this field Dr Ka rl s statu re in the international commu nity of particle physic ists is marked by his many visi ts to the world s major research ce ntres as guest speaker and to consult with his peers Referring to the time spent on thcse missions Dr Karl describes the Depart shym nt of Phys ics and his colleag ues as generouslyaccommodati ng shy

opportu nity to let alumni readers know what we are do ing

I am pleased to be able to report a subs tant ial increase in enrolment both in the

B A program and in the College o f Arts this past yea r What is especially nice is that this has coincided with a dec is ion to tighte n our

standards at the admissions level and in the regulations for continuatio n of study

In o rder to grad uate B A students

who entered the Spring 19~3 Semester will need to obtai n a C average in 60 per cent of the courses they take

Most of o ur students are doing thi s now and we do not antici pate this will pose any

problem for the students whom we are ad mitting Next year students en tering the

B A program will be required to have Grade 13 English and we are strongly encouraging them to offer a Mathematics credit o r o ne in French or ano ther language

Applications from students wish ing to enter the B A program in the Fall 1983 Semester

are up subs tantia lly over last yea r I also want to share with you some

ha ppenings which have brought special delight to me

ROllald S Rilchie A reporl on Senafor Piffields presemalion follows

Senator Pitfield paid tribute to Rona ld Ritchie his important work in the Glassco Commission and his influence in the estabshylishment of the Institute for Research on Public Policy

In thi s th oug htful and thoughtshyprovoking presentation Senator Pitfield outlined the need for and the desirability of more open discussion before policies are introduced but there are some very real difficulties associated with de vel oping some me chanis m that could foster and encourage such exchanges of ideas

[t was pointed out that because of the high degree of interdependency of modern society and the size and complexity of governments the making of public polic y must be an intellectual subject in its own right not just a conglomeration of di scishyplines It had become evident that

I A methodical analysis of government activity could lead to improvements in government effectiveness

2 Traini ng in making and managment of public policy was crucial and urgent

3 There were few in government who knew why things were done the way they were

4 The making and management of pubshylic policy was a subject unique in itself and required thinking through for itself

5 Universities and other training institushytions were not very useful in this training process universities being too removed from the actual experience of government and the government institutions being withshyout the detachment and intellectual rigour needed

Thus it became evident that there was a need for an institution that would be a repository of knowledge a pl ace of learnshying a foru m for debate and a means of communication co ncerning public policy

Proposal s emerged that the federal go vernment should assis t some of the organizations already in existence Comshypetition became keen and rivalry among institutions re su lted in grander more comshyplex proposals As a result the federal go vernment in 1968 decided to establish a think-tank of its own to take a more rigorous look at public polic y

The idea was not new In many countries the general thinking was that all problems could be so l ved by inrelleclUal anal ysis and the appl ication of modern techshyniques But the ne w Trudeau go vernment went even beyond providing more data It included public debate of public policy

But the think-tank was only one of the initiatives to aid in the formation of policies There was support for political parties through caucus funding offi ce space support staff and regional offices for Members of Parliament and internsh ip programs for students to work as assistan ts to MPs

Other support included green and white papers for discussion commissions of inquiry task forces public funding of non-political grou ps to encourage discusshysion and many others to increase the flow of information for consideration of alternashytives All were done to open up the process o f meaningful debate which would result in more effective and sound decisions

The th ink-tank was to be a centre for var ious kinds of people to di scuss public policy subjects which were often set aside because of day to day pressures At first it was to be very informal with distinguished people invited to participate Its integrity and permanency would be based on that of

were concerned that existing research instishytutes would be damaged They also wanted in volvement of business and professional communities This challenge to broaden the scope was gi ven to Ron Ritchie

Ritchie foresaw an institution that would be independent supported by an endowment which would not only support but st imu late debate on public policy

Man y fears were raised - that such a body would be taken o ver by academics that it would become a clique that govern shyments would battle for control etc But these were dealt with skillfully by Ritch ie and the Institute for Researc h on Public Policy was establ ished

What of its accomplishments~ This institute has been successfu l in

many ways in getting better information into debate [n the ten years since its beginning many studie s have been pubshyli shed It has held many informat ive confershyences and has a unique journal Howeve r despite its efforts open and meaningful debate on public policy is not much more advanced tod ay than it was a decade ago

It is evident that to ach ie ve its objecshytives there mu st be a willingess to change opi nions and the Canadian sys tem prov ides few forums for the changing of minds The bias is towards decision-makers and interest groups not open and meaningful debate

Public debate often takes pl ace after rather than before the decision is taken Thi s may not be what is wanted but policy-making is tilted not tow ards being open but towards being closed

Why has there not been more progress [n h is pre se ntation Mi chael Pitfield refershyred to the fact that the go vernment whose people should discuss the si tuation has become even more confrontational not because of lack of information but because of rigidity in their approach to discussion of public policy

As govern ment ha s grown so have checks and balances which recently have often been linked to lack of confidence Where slim majorities exist a strong opposhysi tion can threaten the government Party di sc ipline becomes severe and ai ring of independent views is discouraged The fear of a government being defeated on the one shyhand and the unyielding demands ot the opposition on the other tends to make the parliamentary process less and less flexible

The result of the foregOing is the tendency of government in modern times to drop solutions on a public th at may not be aware of the problems These solutions are not open to argu ment and debate is reduced

conld over

w ith bias tending towards a cl osed system and less debate

To improve the situation it seems it wlluld be necessary to have a mutual and

ba lanced reduction of force on both sides

The ge neral equilibrium of the system needs to be ma in tained W hat is needed is the reduction of secre tiveness of the gove rn shyment on one side and a reduc tion of the

danger of e mbarrass ment or de fea t of the govern men t on the other side

T here must be a wil li ngness to secure

more ope n debate on al l sides and our

leaders ha ve not done that e ven on m ost import ant issues More ope n and rneltll1 ingshyful deba te will require more thi nk ingshy

thro u middoth - something Mc mbers of Parlishy

ame nt may not he able to do or be free to do or have the necessary knowledge to do But the id ea behind the Institute for Remiddot

search on Public Policy was tha t such a body could bring about better decisions

All publi c problems cannot be solved by thought and tech nolog ics but few can be solved without these contr ibutions

The Institute for Research on Public Policy cannot create better public policies

by itself It must have input from all sectors to bring about more open and meaningful public debate which will result in constant

improvement of government - somethin g

that everyone desires 0

EntploYDlent Survey T he University s Counselling and Reshysource Centre recentl y completed an inshyucpth survey covering the empl oyment activities of the 211 graduates who in 19RO earned Bachelor of Applied Sc ience Degrees

The survey indicates th at gradu ates are e nj oy ing a variety of interes ting and chalshylenging careers

A gratifying 73 per cent of th e graduates re sponded to the survey with 51 per cent of the respondents indi catin g that they have completed or are completing graduate degrees or programs on a full- or part-time bas is Of the 153 respondents 78 per ce nt including one who is self emshyployee have full-time employment The remainder are employed part-time or are pursuing further studie s

Li sted below are the indicated ca reers chosen in the four major areas of study

Applied Human Nutritio n

ut ritiond ietetics Food service administration More than 50 per cent of the responshy

dents obtained reg istered profe ss ional dietishytian certificates The Admini strati ve Emshyphasis course is no longer offered in the

Applied Human utrition program It is available through the Bachelor of Comshymerce program

Family Studies

A number of grad uate s found posit io ns in teac h ing or social services such as

Adult protecti ve service workers Infant de ve lopment specialists Geront ology consultants Supervisors and field workers with social service agencies Other Family Studies graduate s are

working in government srv iees and in the private ec toras home economists financial co un se llors librarians hostel managers Family Studies graduates tend to sl ck caree rs in the helping profess ion s

Consumer Studies

There are four emphasis areas 01 study within this maj or The survey indicates that

Food gradu ates are employed in areas of produci development marketing and food technology with majo r food companies Hou si ng emphasis graduates are wo rkshying with government agencies and in teac hing

Consumer Beha vio ur e mph asis graduates are in industry business and res earc h Tex tile and Clothin g e mph asis grads are employed in research merchandi sshying and banking Often after working for a year or

more Consumer Studies graduates will return to gradu ate study o r profess ional programs on a full- or part-time bas is

Child Studies

Many Child Studies graduates are emp loyed in teaching supervisory or other child-care related sett ings such as soc ial work with fami lies and children Re ported part -lime and temporary em pl oy ment pos ishytions include work as supply teachers child care supervisors special education leac hers and as lecturers in uni ve rsity settings

It is imporl an t to note that this emshyploy ment survey reports the caree r paths chose n by onl y one graduating cl ass Dat a is collccl~d on a yearl y bas is from gradu ates in Family and Consumer Studies In order to observe the broad scope of employment opportunities avail able a four-year tabulashytion wo uld pl~ c nt a more complete picture of the profess ional activities of graduates

In summary FACS programs offer students a sound educational background to meet the need s of i nduslry educational institut io ns governme nt and bus in c The future for FACS graduates is indeed bright as the College co ntinues to gro w and develop programs to meet the challenges of the 80s 0

FACS Prof First

Dr M urlin MUllhclIs

Director P ro fessor Anne Martin Matthews De shypart me nt of Family St udi es has been ap shypointed the first director of the Gnontology Research Centre The establi shment of the Centre was announced last February A research grant of $237000 from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada will fund the Centre for the first three years

Professor Martin Matthews has been conducting research related to the needs and interests of older segments of the populashytion as well as teaching courses in such areas as social gerontology and marital and family dynamics in Family Studies She has been a faculty member with the Department of Family Studies since 1978

She also has been active beyond the campus in programs related to aging She is chair-elect of the social sciences division Canadian Council on Gerontology and will begin a two-year term in the chair of that organization this year

She is also first vice-president of the

Ontario Gerontology Association and a member of the scientific advisory commitshytee of the Gerontology Research Council of Ontario She is a graduate of Memorial University of Newfoundland and McMaster University

With a steadily increasing percentage of the popUlation in the retirement age bracket it is important to understand more fully the ir needs and cuncerns sa ys Proshyfessor Martin Matthews The en tre will deal with the ag ing family and environshymental contexts In the latter sense we will be examinin g such things as the difference bet wee n aging in an urban and a rural society as well as issues like housing and the aging

The new Gerontology Research Centre will provide facilities to assist faculty members and graduate students doing reshysearch on aging The Centre will facilitate integrate and co-ordinate studies on aging within the University the director says

Research on aging is now being carried out at the Universi ty in such Departments as Family Studies Geography Psychology Nutrition Human Biology and SocioluFY and the Centre will be able to provide a medium for cross-fertilization of ideas among the many researchers in the field

Professor Marlin Matthews says that the Centre will be working co-operatively with other similar research centres in Onshytario such as the one at the University of Toronto in promoting research on aging The Centre will also sponsor conferences and workshops that relate to the special needs of older citizens in their communities

Guelph has demonstrated an interest in gerontology since 1970 when research projshyects began and courses dealing with aging were offered in the Departments of Family Studies and Psychology Since 1981 the Un i versity has offered gero ntology as part of the Famil y Studies major in the Bachelur of Applied Science program 0

Council for two years he was intimately involved in all the major re search de velopshyments in Canada in this field Hc feels that his e lec tio n to the Royal Society of Canada will help raise the prot1le of high-energy physics in this co untry and lend stren gth to Canadian experimenters

The citation prepared for his nominashytion to the Royal Society of Canada reads

Professor Karl is a high energy the ori st whose work is widely recognized interna tionally His deep physical insight and hi s kn ow led ge of mathemati ca l methods led to the quark model of baryon resonances based on quantum chromoshydynamics which has been enormousl) successful in describing experimental reshysuits H is re sea rch is characterized by striking originality and an ability to COIll shy

bine basic ideas from different field s as in the predictions of a new effect - neutron optical activity

Gabriel Karl is married and has one daughter W hen he is not probing the sec re ts of the universe he indulges himself in music theatre and the fine arts

He visited the Unive rsity of Briti sh Columbia in Vanco uver in May for the induction ceremony into the Royal Society of Canada on the occas ion of the Annual Meeting of the Society It marked he sa id the culmination of a long string of benefits that [ ha ve enjoyed throughout the 23 years 1 have lived in Ca nada [ have every rea son to be very grateful to th is country D

Elected to Royal Society

Dr Cooiel Korl

The election of Dr Gabriel Karl to a Fellowship of the Roy al Society of Canada represents what one of hi s colleagues Dr Peter Egelstaff desc ribe s as a rare honour which reflects great credit not only on Dr Karl but also on the Uni versi tys Departshyment of Physics

The Royal Society of Canada founded in 1882 to promote learning and research in the arts and sciences has numbered among its Fellows virtually all of Canadas most distinguished intellectual le ade rs of the last J00 yea rs Standards are jealously guarded and Fello wships are awarded only as a result of outstanding world-class ach ieve ment

The rarity of the honour is indicated by the fact that at the Un iversity of Guelph whose faculty includes so many academics of international distinction only five had previously achieved a Fellows hip in the Royal Society of Canada These are Dr Howard Clark vice- pres ident academic Dr Bruce Sells dean College of Biologishycal Science Dr Peter Egclstaff Depart shyment of Physics Dr Do nald Masters Prof ssor Emeri tu s De part mcnt of History and Dr He rb Armstrong retired dean of Graduate Studies

As the sixth Dr Ga briel Karl will have the added di st inction of bei ng the first whose career has been sp ot excl us ively at the Un ivers ity of Guelph which agai n to

quote Dr Egelstaff marks a coming of age for the University

Gabriel Karl was born in Transylvania a province of Romania He obtained his B Sc in Chemistry at Romani as Univershysity of ClUJ worked for two years in industry and came to Canada in 1960 He attended graduate school at th e University of Toronto where he was awarded a Ph D in 1966 for a thesis on infrared luminesshycence following molecular colli sion Hi s Ph D supervisor was the distinguished physical chemist Dr John Polanyi

A two-year post-doctora l fellowship with the University of Torontos Depart shyment of Physics followed His mentors there were Drs J Van Kranendonk and Duk Poll who is now a professor with the Universi ty of Guelph s Depa rtment of Ph ys ics

In 1966 Dr Karl studied at the Uni versity of Oxford for two years under an NRC scho larship to study hadron spec troshyscopy and in 1969 he Joi ned the Univers itys Department of Phy sics achieving a full professorship only five years later

Dr Karls work has focussed on high energy physics - the physics of fundamen shytal particles This is an esoteric field involvshying research into the nature of matter The relatively few world leaders in thi s field tend to cluster around the half-dozen accelerators such as the $100 million four kilumete rshylon g hi gh-e nergy tunnel for accelerating electrons at Stanford University that have been built only in the US and Europe

There is no accelerator of this energy level in Canad a and fe w Canadian scie nshyti ~ts are working in this field Dr Ka rl s statu re in the international commu nity of particle physic ists is marked by his many visi ts to the world s major research ce ntres as guest speaker and to consult with his peers Referring to the time spent on thcse missions Dr Karl describes the Depart shym nt of Phys ics and his colleag ues as generouslyaccommodati ng shy

opportu nity to let alumni readers know what we are do ing

I am pleased to be able to report a subs tant ial increase in enrolment both in the

standards at the admissions level and in the regulations for continuatio n of study

In o rder to grad uate B A students

who entered the Spring 19~3 Semester will need to obtai n a C average in 60 per cent of the courses they take

Most of o ur students are doing thi s now and we do not antici pate this will pose any

problem for the students whom we are ad mitting Next year students en tering the

B A program will be required to have Grade 13 English and we are strongly encouraging them to offer a Mathematics credit o r o ne in French or ano ther language

Applications from students wish ing to enter the B A program in the Fall 1983 Semester

are up subs tantia lly over last yea r I also want to share with you some

ROllald S Rilchie A reporl on Senafor Piffields presemalion follows

Senator Pitfield paid tribute to Rona ld Ritchie his important work in the Glassco Commission and his influence in the estabshylishment of the Institute for Research on Public Policy

In thi s th oug htful and thoughtshyprovoking presentation Senator Pitfield outlined the need for and the desirability of more open discussion before policies are introduced but there are some very real difficulties associated with de vel oping some me chanis m that could foster and encourage such exchanges of ideas

[t was pointed out that because of the high degree of interdependency of modern society and the size and complexity of governments the making of public polic y must be an intellectual subject in its own right not just a conglomeration of di scishyplines It had become evident that

I A methodical analysis of government activity could lead to improvements in government effectiveness

2 Traini ng in making and managment of public policy was crucial and urgent

3 There were few in government who knew why things were done the way they were

4 The making and management of pubshylic policy was a subject unique in itself and required thinking through for itself

5 Universities and other training institushytions were not very useful in this training process universities being too removed from the actual experience of government and the government institutions being withshyout the detachment and intellectual rigour needed

Thus it became evident that there was a need for an institution that would be a repository of knowledge a pl ace of learnshying a foru m for debate and a means of communication co ncerning public policy

Proposal s emerged that the federal go vernment should assis t some of the organizations already in existence Comshypetition became keen and rivalry among institutions re su lted in grander more comshyplex proposals As a result the federal go vernment in 1968 decided to establish a think-tank of its own to take a more rigorous look at public polic y

The idea was not new In many countries the general thinking was that all problems could be so l ved by inrelleclUal anal ysis and the appl ication of modern techshyniques But the ne w Trudeau go vernment went even beyond providing more data It included public debate of public policy

But the think-tank was only one of the initiatives to aid in the formation of policies There was support for political parties through caucus funding offi ce space support staff and regional offices for Members of Parliament and internsh ip programs for students to work as assistan ts to MPs

Other support included green and white papers for discussion commissions of inquiry task forces public funding of non-political grou ps to encourage discusshysion and many others to increase the flow of information for consideration of alternashytives All were done to open up the process o f meaningful debate which would result in more effective and sound decisions

The th ink-tank was to be a centre for var ious kinds of people to di scuss public policy subjects which were often set aside because of day to day pressures At first it was to be very informal with distinguished people invited to participate Its integrity and permanency would be based on that of

were concerned that existing research instishytutes would be damaged They also wanted in volvement of business and professional communities This challenge to broaden the scope was gi ven to Ron Ritchie

Ritchie foresaw an institution that would be independent supported by an endowment which would not only support but st imu late debate on public policy

Man y fears were raised - that such a body would be taken o ver by academics that it would become a clique that govern shyments would battle for control etc But these were dealt with skillfully by Ritch ie and the Institute for Researc h on Public Policy was establ ished

What of its accomplishments~ This institute has been successfu l in

many ways in getting better information into debate [n the ten years since its beginning many studie s have been pubshyli shed It has held many informat ive confershyences and has a unique journal Howeve r despite its efforts open and meaningful debate on public policy is not much more advanced tod ay than it was a decade ago

It is evident that to ach ie ve its objecshytives there mu st be a willingess to change opi nions and the Canadian sys tem prov ides few forums for the changing of minds The bias is towards decision-makers and interest groups not open and meaningful debate

Public debate often takes pl ace after rather than before the decision is taken Thi s may not be what is wanted but policy-making is tilted not tow ards being open but towards being closed

Why has there not been more progress [n h is pre se ntation Mi chael Pitfield refershyred to the fact that the go vernment whose people should discuss the si tuation has become even more confrontational not because of lack of information but because of rigidity in their approach to discussion of public policy

As govern ment ha s grown so have checks and balances which recently have often been linked to lack of confidence Where slim majorities exist a strong opposhysi tion can threaten the government Party di sc ipline becomes severe and ai ring of independent views is discouraged The fear of a government being defeated on the one shyhand and the unyielding demands ot the opposition on the other tends to make the parliamentary process less and less flexible

The result of the foregOing is the tendency of government in modern times to drop solutions on a public th at may not be aware of the problems These solutions are not open to argu ment and debate is reduced

conld over

27

w ith bias tending towards a cl osed system and less debate

To improve the situation it seems it wlluld be necessary to have a mutual and

ba lanced reduction of force on both sides

The ge neral equilibrium of the system needs to be ma in tained W hat is needed is the reduction of secre tiveness of the gove rn shyment on one side and a reduc tion of the

danger of e mbarrass ment or de fea t of the govern men t on the other side

T here must be a wil li ngness to secure

more ope n debate on al l sides and our

leaders ha ve not done that e ven on m ost import ant issues More ope n and rneltll1 ingshyful deba te will require more thi nk ingshy

thro u middoth - something Mc mbers of Parlishy

ame nt may not he able to do or be free to do or have the necessary knowledge to do But the id ea behind the Institute for Remiddot

search on Public Policy was tha t such a body could bring about better decisions

All publi c problems cannot be solved by thought and tech nolog ics but few can be solved without these contr ibutions

The Institute for Research on Public Policy cannot create better public policies

by itself It must have input from all sectors to bring about more open and meaningful public debate which will result in constant

improvement of government - somethin g

that everyone desires 0

Food gradu ates are employed in areas of produci development marketing and food technology with majo r food companies Hou si ng emphasis graduates are wo rkshying with government agencies and in teac hing

Consumer Beha vio ur e mph asis graduates are in industry business and res earc h Tex tile and Clothin g e mph asis grads are employed in research merchandi sshying and banking Often after working for a year or

more Consumer Studies graduates will return to gradu ate study o r profess ional programs on a full- or part-time bas is

Child Studies

Many Child Studies graduates are emp loyed in teaching supervisory or other child-care related sett ings such as soc ial work with fami lies and children Re ported part -lime and temporary em pl oy ment pos ishytions include work as supply teachers child care supervisors special education leac hers and as lecturers in uni ve rsity settings

It is imporl an t to note that this emshyploy ment survey reports the caree r paths chose n by onl y one graduating cl ass Dat a is collccl~d on a yearl y bas is from gradu ates in Family and Consumer Studies In order to observe the broad scope of employment opportunities avail able a four-year tabulashytion wo uld pl~ c nt a more complete picture of the profess ional activities of graduates

In summary FACS programs offer students a sound educational background to meet the need s of i nduslry educational institut io ns governme nt and bus in c The future for FACS graduates is indeed bright as the College co ntinues to gro w and develop programs to meet the challenges of the 80s 0

FACS Prof First

Dr M urlin MUllhclIs

Director P ro fessor Anne Martin Matthews De shypart me nt of Family St udi es has been ap shypointed the first director of the Gnontology Research Centre The establi shment of the Centre was announced last February A research grant of $237000 from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada will fund the Centre for the first three years

Professor Martin Matthews has been conducting research related to the needs and interests of older segments of the populashytion as well as teaching courses in such areas as social gerontology and marital and family dynamics in Family Studies She has been a faculty member with the Department of Family Studies since 1978

She also has been active beyond the campus in programs related to aging She is chair-elect of the social sciences division Canadian Council on Gerontology and will begin a two-year term in the chair of that organization this year

She is also first vice-president of the

Ontario Gerontology Association and a member of the scientific advisory commitshytee of the Gerontology Research Council of Ontario She is a graduate of Memorial University of Newfoundland and McMaster University

With a steadily increasing percentage of the popUlation in the retirement age bracket it is important to understand more fully the ir needs and cuncerns sa ys Proshyfessor Martin Matthews The en tre will deal with the ag ing family and environshymental contexts In the latter sense we will be examinin g such things as the difference bet wee n aging in an urban and a rural society as well as issues like housing and the aging

The new Gerontology Research Centre will provide facilities to assist faculty members and graduate students doing reshysearch on aging The Centre will facilitate integrate and co-ordinate studies on aging within the University the director says

Research on aging is now being carried out at the Universi ty in such Departments as Family Studies Geography Psychology Nutrition Human Biology and SocioluFY and the Centre will be able to provide a medium for cross-fertilization of ideas among the many researchers in the field

Professor Marlin Matthews says that the Centre will be working co-operatively with other similar research centres in Onshytario such as the one at the University of Toronto in promoting research on aging The Centre will also sponsor conferences and workshops that relate to the special needs of older citizens in their communities

Guelph has demonstrated an interest in gerontology since 1970 when research projshyects began and courses dealing with aging were offered in the Departments of Family Studies and Psychology Since 1981 the Un i versity has offered gero ntology as part of the Famil y Studies major in the Bachelur of Applied Science program 0

Council for two years he was intimately involved in all the major re search de velopshyments in Canada in this field Hc feels that his e lec tio n to the Royal Society of Canada will help raise the prot1le of high-energy physics in this co untry and lend stren gth to Canadian experimenters

The citation prepared for his nominashytion to the Royal Society of Canada reads

Professor Karl is a high energy the ori st whose work is widely recognized interna tionally His deep physical insight and hi s kn ow led ge of mathemati ca l methods led to the quark model of baryon resonances based on quantum chromoshydynamics which has been enormousl) successful in describing experimental reshysuits H is re sea rch is characterized by striking originality and an ability to COIll shy

bine basic ideas from different field s as in the predictions of a new effect - neutron optical activity

Gabriel Karl is married and has one daughter W hen he is not probing the sec re ts of the universe he indulges himself in music theatre and the fine arts

He visited the Unive rsity of Briti sh Columbia in Vanco uver in May for the induction ceremony into the Royal Society of Canada on the occas ion of the Annual Meeting of the Society It marked he sa id the culmination of a long string of benefits that [ ha ve enjoyed throughout the 23 years 1 have lived in Ca nada [ have every rea son to be very grateful to th is country D

Erratum In the Sprin g issue o r SCiMP it was erroneously reported in the c utline accompanyin g a pict ure of Departshyme nt of Physics student scholarship winners that they were the recipients of 0 er $ 1500 We dropped a zero The fi gure should have read $ 15000 Sorry about tha t Ed

Elected to Royal Society

Dr Cooiel Korl

The election of Dr Gabriel Karl to a Fellowship of the Roy al Society of Canada represents what one of hi s colleagues Dr Peter Egelstaff desc ribe s as a rare honour which reflects great credit not only on Dr Karl but also on the Uni versi tys Departshyment of Physics

The Royal Society of Canada founded in 1882 to promote learning and research in the arts and sciences has numbered among its Fellows virtually all of Canadas most distinguished intellectual le ade rs of the last J00 yea rs Standards are jealously guarded and Fello wships are awarded only as a result of outstanding world-class ach ieve ment

The rarity of the honour is indicated by the fact that at the Un iversity of Guelph whose faculty includes so many academics of international distinction only five had previously achieved a Fellows hip in the Royal Society of Canada These are Dr Howard Clark vice- pres ident academic Dr Bruce Sells dean College of Biologishycal Science Dr Peter Egclstaff Depart shyment of Physics Dr Do nald Masters Prof ssor Emeri tu s De part mcnt of History and Dr He rb Armstrong retired dean of Graduate Studies

As the sixth Dr Ga briel Karl will have the added di st inction of bei ng the first whose career has been sp ot excl us ively at the Un ivers ity of Guelph which agai n to

quote Dr Egelstaff marks a coming of age for the University

Gabriel Karl was born in Transylvania a province of Romania He obtained his B Sc in Chemistry at Romani as Univershysity of ClUJ worked for two years in industry and came to Canada in 1960 He attended graduate school at th e University of Toronto where he was awarded a Ph D in 1966 for a thesis on infrared luminesshycence following molecular colli sion Hi s Ph D supervisor was the distinguished physical chemist Dr John Polanyi

A two-year post-doctora l fellowship with the University of Torontos Depart shyment of Physics followed His mentors there were Drs J Van Kranendonk and Duk Poll who is now a professor with the Universi ty of Guelph s Depa rtment of Ph ys ics

In 1966 Dr Karl studied at the Uni versity of Oxford for two years under an NRC scho larship to study hadron spec troshyscopy and in 1969 he Joi ned the Univers itys Department of Phy sics achieving a full professorship only five years later

Dr Karls work has focussed on high energy physics - the physics of fundamen shytal particles This is an esoteric field involvshying research into the nature of matter The relatively few world leaders in thi s field tend to cluster around the half-dozen accelerators such as the $100 million four kilumete rshylon g hi gh-e nergy tunnel for accelerating electrons at Stanford University that have been built only in the US and Europe

There is no accelerator of this energy level in Canad a and fe w Canadian scie nshyti ~ts are working in this field Dr Ka rl s statu re in the international commu nity of particle physic ists is marked by his many visi ts to the world s major research ce ntres as guest speaker and to consult with his peers Referring to the time spent on thcse missions Dr Karl describes the Depart shym nt of Phys ics and his colleag ues as generouslyaccommodati ng shy

opportu nity to let alumni readers know what we are do ing

I am pleased to be able to report a subs tant ial increase in enrolment both in the

B A program and in the College o f Arts this past yea r What is especially nice is that this has coincided with a dec is ion to tighte n our

standards at the admissions level and in the regulations for continuatio n of study

In o rder to grad uate B A students

who entered the Spring 19~3 Semester will need to obtai n a C average in 60 per cent of the courses they take

Most of o ur students are doing thi s now and we do not antici pate this will pose any

problem for the students whom we are ad mitting Next year students en tering the

B A program will be required to have Grade 13 English and we are strongly encouraging them to offer a Mathematics credit o r o ne in French or ano ther language

Applications from students wish ing to enter the B A program in the Fall 1983 Semester

are up subs tantia lly over last yea r I also want to share with you some

ha ppenings which have brought special delight to me

w ith bias tending towards a cl osed system and less debate

To improve the situation it seems it wlluld be necessary to have a mutual and

ba lanced reduction of force on both sides

The ge neral equilibrium of the system needs to be ma in tained W hat is needed is the reduction of secre tiveness of the gove rn shyment on one side and a reduc tion of the

danger of e mbarrass ment or de fea t of the govern men t on the other side

T here must be a wil li ngness to secure

more ope n debate on al l sides and our

leaders ha ve not done that e ven on m ost import ant issues More ope n and rneltll1 ingshyful deba te will require more thi nk ingshy

All publi c problems cannot be solved by thought and tech nolog ics but few can be solved without these contr ibutions

The Institute for Research on Public Policy cannot create better public policies

by itself It must have input from all sectors to bring about more open and meaningful public debate which will result in constant

EntploYDlent Survey T he University s Counselling and Reshysource Centre recentl y completed an inshyucpth survey covering the empl oyment activities of the 211 graduates who in 19RO earned Bachelor of Applied Sc ience Degrees

The survey indicates th at gradu ates are e nj oy ing a variety of interes ting and chalshylenging careers

A gratifying 73 per cent of th e graduates re sponded to the survey with 51 per cent of the respondents indi catin g that they have completed or are completing graduate degrees or programs on a full- or part-time bas is Of the 153 respondents 78 per ce nt including one who is self emshyployee have full-time employment The remainder are employed part-time or are pursuing further studie s

Li sted below are the indicated ca reers chosen in the four major areas of study

Applied Human Nutritio n

ut ritiond ietetics Food service administration More than 50 per cent of the responshy

dents obtained reg istered profe ss ional dietishytian certificates The Admini strati ve Emshyphasis course is no longer offered in the

Applied Human utrition program It is available through the Bachelor of Comshymerce program

Family Studies

A number of grad uate s found posit io ns in teac h ing or social services such as

Adult protecti ve service workers Infant de ve lopment specialists Geront ology consultants Supervisors and field workers with social service agencies Other Family Studies graduate s are

working in government srv iees and in the private ec toras home economists financial co un se llors librarians hostel managers Family Studies graduates tend to sl ck caree rs in the helping profess ion s

Consumer Studies

There are four emphasis areas 01 study within this maj or The survey indicates that

Food gradu ates are employed in areas of produci development marketing and food technology with majo r food companies Hou si ng emphasis graduates are wo rkshying with government agencies and in teac hing

Consumer Beha vio ur e mph asis graduates are in industry business and res earc h Tex tile and Clothin g e mph asis grads are employed in research merchandi sshying and banking Often after working for a year or

more Consumer Studies graduates will return to gradu ate study o r profess ional programs on a full- or part-time bas is

Child Studies

Many Child Studies graduates are emp loyed in teaching supervisory or other child-care related sett ings such as soc ial work with fami lies and children Re ported part -lime and temporary em pl oy ment pos ishytions include work as supply teachers child care supervisors special education leac hers and as lecturers in uni ve rsity settings

It is imporl an t to note that this emshyploy ment survey reports the caree r paths chose n by onl y one graduating cl ass Dat a is collccl~d on a yearl y bas is from gradu ates in Family and Consumer Studies In order to observe the broad scope of employment opportunities avail able a four-year tabulashytion wo uld pl~ c nt a more complete picture of the profess ional activities of graduates

In summary FACS programs offer students a sound educational background to meet the need s of i nduslry educational institut io ns governme nt and bus in c The future for FACS graduates is indeed bright as the College co ntinues to gro w and develop programs to meet the challenges of the 80s 0

FACS Prof First

Dr M urlin MUllhclIs

Director P ro fessor Anne Martin Matthews De shypart me nt of Family St udi es has been ap shypointed the first director of the Gnontology Research Centre The establi shment of the Centre was announced last February A research grant of $237000 from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada will fund the Centre for the first three years

Professor Martin Matthews has been conducting research related to the needs and interests of older segments of the populashytion as well as teaching courses in such areas as social gerontology and marital and family dynamics in Family Studies She has been a faculty member with the Department of Family Studies since 1978

She also has been active beyond the campus in programs related to aging She is chair-elect of the social sciences division Canadian Council on Gerontology and will begin a two-year term in the chair of that organization this year

She is also first vice-president of the

Ontario Gerontology Association and a member of the scientific advisory commitshytee of the Gerontology Research Council of Ontario She is a graduate of Memorial University of Newfoundland and McMaster University

With a steadily increasing percentage of the popUlation in the retirement age bracket it is important to understand more fully the ir needs and cuncerns sa ys Proshyfessor Martin Matthews The en tre will deal with the ag ing family and environshymental contexts In the latter sense we will be examinin g such things as the difference bet wee n aging in an urban and a rural society as well as issues like housing and the aging

The new Gerontology Research Centre will provide facilities to assist faculty members and graduate students doing reshysearch on aging The Centre will facilitate integrate and co-ordinate studies on aging within the University the director says

Research on aging is now being carried out at the Universi ty in such Departments as Family Studies Geography Psychology Nutrition Human Biology and SocioluFY and the Centre will be able to provide a medium for cross-fertilization of ideas among the many researchers in the field

Professor Marlin Matthews says that the Centre will be working co-operatively with other similar research centres in Onshytario such as the one at the University of Toronto in promoting research on aging The Centre will also sponsor conferences and workshops that relate to the special needs of older citizens in their communities

Guelph has demonstrated an interest in gerontology since 1970 when research projshyects began and courses dealing with aging were offered in the Departments of Family Studies and Psychology Since 1981 the Un i versity has offered gero ntology as part of the Famil y Studies major in the Bachelur of Applied Science program 0

The College of Physical Scie nce Alumni Association

SCIMP Editor Bob Winkel

phy sics grant selection committee of thc atural Sciences and Engineering Research

Council for two years he was intimately involved in all the major re search de velopshyments in Canada in this field Hc feels that his e lec tio n to the Royal Society of Canada will help raise the prot1le of high-energy physics in this co untry and lend stren gth to Canadian experimenters

The citation prepared for his nominashytion to the Royal Society of Canada reads

Professor Karl is a high energy the ori st whose work is widely recognized interna tionally His deep physical insight and hi s kn ow led ge of mathemati ca l methods led to the quark model of baryon resonances based on quantum chromoshydynamics which has been enormousl) successful in describing experimental reshysuits H is re sea rch is characterized by striking originality and an ability to COIll shy

bine basic ideas from different field s as in the predictions of a new effect - neutron optical activity

Gabriel Karl is married and has one daughter W hen he is not probing the sec re ts of the universe he indulges himself in music theatre and the fine arts

He visited the Unive rsity of Briti sh Columbia in Vanco uver in May for the induction ceremony into the Royal Society of Canada on the occas ion of the Annual Meeting of the Society It marked he sa id the culmination of a long string of benefits that [ ha ve enjoyed throughout the 23 years 1 have lived in Ca nada [ have every rea son to be very grateful to th is country D

Erratum In the Sprin g issue o r SCiMP it was erroneously reported in the c utline accompanyin g a pict ure of Departshyme nt of Physics student scholarship winners that they were the recipients of 0 er $ 1500 We dropped a zero The fi gure should have read $ 15000 Sorry about tha t Ed

Elected to Royal Society

Dr Cooiel Korl

The election of Dr Gabriel Karl to a Fellowship of the Roy al Society of Canada represents what one of hi s colleagues Dr Peter Egelstaff desc ribe s as a rare honour which reflects great credit not only on Dr Karl but also on the Uni versi tys Departshyment of Physics

The Royal Society of Canada founded in 1882 to promote learning and research in the arts and sciences has numbered among its Fellows virtually all of Canadas most distinguished intellectual le ade rs of the last J00 yea rs Standards are jealously guarded and Fello wships are awarded only as a result of outstanding world-class ach ieve ment

The rarity of the honour is indicated by the fact that at the Un iversity of Guelph whose faculty includes so many academics of international distinction only five had previously achieved a Fellows hip in the Royal Society of Canada These are Dr Howard Clark vice- pres ident academic Dr Bruce Sells dean College of Biologishycal Science Dr Peter Egclstaff Depart shyment of Physics Dr Do nald Masters Prof ssor Emeri tu s De part mcnt of History and Dr He rb Armstrong retired dean of Graduate Studies

As the sixth Dr Ga briel Karl will have the added di st inction of bei ng the first whose career has been sp ot excl us ively at the Un ivers ity of Guelph which agai n to

quote Dr Egelstaff marks a coming of age for the University

Gabriel Karl was born in Transylvania a province of Romania He obtained his B Sc in Chemistry at Romani as Univershysity of ClUJ worked for two years in industry and came to Canada in 1960 He attended graduate school at th e University of Toronto where he was awarded a Ph D in 1966 for a thesis on infrared luminesshycence following molecular colli sion Hi s Ph D supervisor was the distinguished physical chemist Dr John Polanyi

A two-year post-doctora l fellowship with the University of Torontos Depart shyment of Physics followed His mentors there were Drs J Van Kranendonk and Duk Poll who is now a professor with the Universi ty of Guelph s Depa rtment of Ph ys ics

In 1966 Dr Karl studied at the Uni versity of Oxford for two years under an NRC scho larship to study hadron spec troshyscopy and in 1969 he Joi ned the Univers itys Department of Phy sics achieving a full professorship only five years later

Dr Karls work has focussed on high energy physics - the physics of fundamen shytal particles This is an esoteric field involvshying research into the nature of matter The relatively few world leaders in thi s field tend to cluster around the half-dozen accelerators such as the $100 million four kilumete rshylon g hi gh-e nergy tunnel for accelerating electrons at Stanford University that have been built only in the US and Europe

There is no accelerator of this energy level in Canad a and fe w Canadian scie nshyti ~ts are working in this field Dr Ka rl s statu re in the international commu nity of particle physic ists is marked by his many visi ts to the world s major research ce ntres as guest speaker and to consult with his peers Referring to the time spent on thcse missions Dr Karl describes the Depart shym nt of Phys ics and his colleag ues as generouslyaccommodati ng shy

Last fall I had the privilege of speakshy

ing to the direc tors of the University of G uelph Alumn i Assoc iation to bring them

up to date on some of the excit ing things connected with the College of Arts I am gratefu l to the editor of DELPHA for this

opportu nity to let alumni readers know what we are do ing

I am pleased to be able to report a subs tant ial increase in enrolment both in the

B A program and in the College o f Arts this past yea r What is especially nice is that this has coincided with a dec is ion to tighte n our

standards at the admissions level and in the regulations for continuatio n of study

In o rder to grad uate B A students

who entered the Spring 19~3 Semester will need to obtai n a C average in 60 per cent of the courses they take

Most of o ur students are doing thi s now and we do not antici pate this will pose any

problem for the students whom we are ad mitting Next year students en tering the

B A program will be required to have Grade 13 English and we are strongly encouraging them to offer a Mathematics credit o r o ne in French or ano ther language

Applications from students wish ing to enter the B A program in the Fall 1983 Semester

are up subs tantia lly over last yea r I also want to share with you some

ha ppenings which have brought special delight to me

The U ni ve rsi ty of Guelph Choir

under director Ge rald e ufeld won second prize in the 1982 CSC nation al chora l competition

now busily preparing to welcome guests from around the world

Through our liaison programs we have pioneered special day - long seminars at the

niversity for gifted children in Wellington County T he se programs are part of o ur commitment to assist secondary schools in meeting the challe nges of special education

J know many o f you will also be interes ted in knowing that last sLi mmer the

College awarded three new scholarships two of the m honouring the cont ribution made by former faculty members J Percy

We are al l ac ute ly co nscious of the

financial pressure affecting the UnivLr ~ ity

of Guelph and othe r Canadian unive rsities

But we mus t no t le t these pressures detract from the vision of academic excellence to

which we are committed J think you will agree from the exaln ~Jk middot ha ve cited that this vision continues to glow brightly in spite of our financial plight We hope we can

Li sted below are the indicated ca reers chosen in the four major areas of study

Applied Human Nutritio n

ut ritiond ietetics Food service administration More than 50 per cent of the responshy

dents obtained reg istered profe ss ional dietishytian certificates The Admini strati ve Emshyphasis course is no longer offered in the

Applied Human utrition program It is available through the Bachelor of Comshymerce program

Family Studies

A number of grad uate s found posit io ns in teac h ing or social services such as

Adult protecti ve service workers Infant de ve lopment specialists Geront ology consultants Supervisors and field workers with social service agencies Other Family Studies graduate s are

SCIMP Editor Bob Winkel

phy sics grant selection committee of thc atural Sciences and Engineering Research

Council for two years he was intimately involved in all the major re search de velopshyments in Canada in this field Hc feels that his e lec tio n to the Royal Society of Canada will help raise the prot1le of high-energy physics in this co untry and lend stren gth to Canadian experimenters

The citation prepared for his nominashytion to the Royal Society of Canada reads

Professor Karl is a high energy the ori st whose work is widely recognized interna tionally His deep physical insight and hi s kn ow led ge of mathemati ca l methods led to the quark model of baryon resonances based on quantum chromoshydynamics which has been enormousl) successful in describing experimental reshysuits H is re sea rch is characterized by striking originality and an ability to COIll shy

bine basic ideas from different field s as in the predictions of a new effect - neutron optical activity

Gabriel Karl is married and has one daughter W hen he is not probing the sec re ts of the universe he indulges himself in music theatre and the fine arts

He visited the Unive rsity of Briti sh Columbia in Vanco uver in May for the induction ceremony into the Royal Society of Canada on the occas ion of the Annual Meeting of the Society It marked he sa id the culmination of a long string of benefits that [ ha ve enjoyed throughout the 23 years 1 have lived in Ca nada [ have every rea son to be very grateful to th is country D

Erratum In the Sprin g issue o r SCiMP it was erroneously reported in the c utline accompanyin g a pict ure of Departshyme nt of Physics student scholarship winners that they were the recipients of 0 er $ 1500 We dropped a zero The fi gure should have read $ 15000 Sorry about tha t Ed

Elected to Royal Society

Dr Cooiel Korl

The election of Dr Gabriel Karl to a Fellowship of the Roy al Society of Canada represents what one of hi s colleagues Dr Peter Egelstaff desc ribe s as a rare honour which reflects great credit not only on Dr Karl but also on the Uni versi tys Departshyment of Physics

The Royal Society of Canada founded in 1882 to promote learning and research in the arts and sciences has numbered among its Fellows virtually all of Canadas most distinguished intellectual le ade rs of the last J00 yea rs Standards are jealously guarded and Fello wships are awarded only as a result of outstanding world-class ach ieve ment

The rarity of the honour is indicated by the fact that at the Un iversity of Guelph whose faculty includes so many academics of international distinction only five had previously achieved a Fellows hip in the Royal Society of Canada These are Dr Howard Clark vice- pres ident academic Dr Bruce Sells dean College of Biologishycal Science Dr Peter Egclstaff Depart shyment of Physics Dr Do nald Masters Prof ssor Emeri tu s De part mcnt of History and Dr He rb Armstrong retired dean of Graduate Studies

As the sixth Dr Ga briel Karl will have the added di st inction of bei ng the first whose career has been sp ot excl us ively at the Un ivers ity of Guelph which agai n to

quote Dr Egelstaff marks a coming of age for the University

Gabriel Karl was born in Transylvania a province of Romania He obtained his B Sc in Chemistry at Romani as Univershysity of ClUJ worked for two years in industry and came to Canada in 1960 He attended graduate school at th e University of Toronto where he was awarded a Ph D in 1966 for a thesis on infrared luminesshycence following molecular colli sion Hi s Ph D supervisor was the distinguished physical chemist Dr John Polanyi

A two-year post-doctora l fellowship with the University of Torontos Depart shyment of Physics followed His mentors there were Drs J Van Kranendonk and Duk Poll who is now a professor with the Universi ty of Guelph s Depa rtment of Ph ys ics

In 1966 Dr Karl studied at the Uni versity of Oxford for two years under an NRC scho larship to study hadron spec troshyscopy and in 1969 he Joi ned the Univers itys Department of Phy sics achieving a full professorship only five years later

Dr Karls work has focussed on high energy physics - the physics of fundamen shytal particles This is an esoteric field involvshying research into the nature of matter The relatively few world leaders in thi s field tend to cluster around the half-dozen accelerators such as the $100 million four kilumete rshylon g hi gh-e nergy tunnel for accelerating electrons at Stanford University that have been built only in the US and Europe

There is no accelerator of this energy level in Canad a and fe w Canadian scie nshyti ~ts are working in this field Dr Ka rl s statu re in the international commu nity of particle physic ists is marked by his many visi ts to the world s major research ce ntres as guest speaker and to consult with his peers Referring to the time spent on thcse missions Dr Karl describes the Depart shym nt of Phys ics and his colleag ues as generouslyaccommodati ng shy

up to date on some of the excit ing things connected with the College of Arts I am gratefu l to the editor of DELPHA for this

opportu nity to let alumni readers know what we are do ing

I am pleased to be able to report a subs tant ial increase in enrolment both in the

B A program and in the College o f Arts this past yea r What is especially nice is that this has coincided with a dec is ion to tighte n our

standards at the admissions level and in the regulations for continuatio n of study

In o rder to grad uate B A students

who entered the Spring 19~3 Semester will need to obtai n a C average in 60 per cent of the courses they take

Most of o ur students are doing thi s now and we do not antici pate this will pose any

problem for the students whom we are ad mitting Next year students en tering the

B A program will be required to have Grade 13 English and we are strongly encouraging them to offer a Mathematics credit o r o ne in French or ano ther language

Applications from students wish ing to enter the B A program in the Fall 1983 Semester

are up subs tantia lly over last yea r I also want to share with you some

ha ppenings which have brought special delight to me

FACS Prof First

Dr M urlin MUllhclIs

Director P ro fessor Anne Martin Matthews De shypart me nt of Family St udi es has been ap shypointed the first director of the Gnontology Research Centre The establi shment of the Centre was announced last February A research grant of $237000 from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada will fund the Centre for the first three years

Professor Martin Matthews has been conducting research related to the needs and interests of older segments of the populashytion as well as teaching courses in such areas as social gerontology and marital and family dynamics in Family Studies She has been a faculty member with the Department of Family Studies since 1978

She also has been active beyond the campus in programs related to aging She is chair-elect of the social sciences division Canadian Council on Gerontology and will begin a two-year term in the chair of that organization this year

She is also first vice-president of the

Ontario Gerontology Association and a member of the scientific advisory commitshytee of the Gerontology Research Council of Ontario She is a graduate of Memorial University of Newfoundland and McMaster University

With a steadily increasing percentage of the popUlation in the retirement age bracket it is important to understand more fully the ir needs and cuncerns sa ys Proshyfessor Martin Matthews The en tre will deal with the ag ing family and environshymental contexts In the latter sense we will be examinin g such things as the difference bet wee n aging in an urban and a rural society as well as issues like housing and the aging

The new Gerontology Research Centre will provide facilities to assist faculty members and graduate students doing reshysearch on aging The Centre will facilitate integrate and co-ordinate studies on aging within the University the director says

Research on aging is now being carried out at the Universi ty in such Departments as Family Studies Geography Psychology Nutrition Human Biology and SocioluFY and the Centre will be able to provide a medium for cross-fertilization of ideas among the many researchers in the field

Professor Marlin Matthews says that the Centre will be working co-operatively with other similar research centres in Onshytario such as the one at the University of Toronto in promoting research on aging The Centre will also sponsor conferences and workshops that relate to the special needs of older citizens in their communities

Guelph has demonstrated an interest in gerontology since 1970 when research projshyects began and courses dealing with aging were offered in the Departments of Family Studies and Psychology Since 1981 the Un i versity has offered gero ntology as part of the Famil y Studies major in the Bachelur of Applied Science program 0

SCIMP Editor Bob Winkel

Council for two years he was intimately involved in all the major re search de velopshyments in Canada in this field Hc feels that his e lec tio n to the Royal Society of Canada will help raise the prot1le of high-energy physics in this co untry and lend stren gth to Canadian experimenters

The citation prepared for his nominashytion to the Royal Society of Canada reads

Professor Karl is a high energy the ori st whose work is widely recognized interna tionally His deep physical insight and hi s kn ow led ge of mathemati ca l methods led to the quark model of baryon resonances based on quantum chromoshydynamics which has been enormousl) successful in describing experimental reshysuits H is re sea rch is characterized by striking originality and an ability to COIll shy

bine basic ideas from different field s as in the predictions of a new effect - neutron optical activity

Gabriel Karl is married and has one daughter W hen he is not probing the sec re ts of the universe he indulges himself in music theatre and the fine arts

He visited the Unive rsity of Briti sh Columbia in Vanco uver in May for the induction ceremony into the Royal Society of Canada on the occas ion of the Annual Meeting of the Society It marked he sa id the culmination of a long string of benefits that [ ha ve enjoyed throughout the 23 years 1 have lived in Ca nada [ have every rea son to be very grateful to th is country D

Erratum In the Sprin g issue o r SCiMP it was erroneously reported in the c utline accompanyin g a pict ure of Departshyme nt of Physics student scholarship winners that they were the recipients of 0 er $ 1500 We dropped a zero The fi gure should have read $ 15000 Sorry about tha t Ed

Elected to Royal Society

Dr Cooiel Korl

The election of Dr Gabriel Karl to a Fellowship of the Roy al Society of Canada represents what one of hi s colleagues Dr Peter Egelstaff desc ribe s as a rare honour which reflects great credit not only on Dr Karl but also on the Uni versi tys Departshyment of Physics

The Royal Society of Canada founded in 1882 to promote learning and research in the arts and sciences has numbered among its Fellows virtually all of Canadas most distinguished intellectual le ade rs of the last J00 yea rs Standards are jealously guarded and Fello wships are awarded only as a result of outstanding world-class ach ieve ment

The rarity of the honour is indicated by the fact that at the Un iversity of Guelph whose faculty includes so many academics of international distinction only five had previously achieved a Fellows hip in the Royal Society of Canada These are Dr Howard Clark vice- pres ident academic Dr Bruce Sells dean College of Biologishycal Science Dr Peter Egclstaff Depart shyment of Physics Dr Do nald Masters Prof ssor Emeri tu s De part mcnt of History and Dr He rb Armstrong retired dean of Graduate Studies

As the sixth Dr Ga briel Karl will have the added di st inction of bei ng the first whose career has been sp ot excl us ively at the Un ivers ity of Guelph which agai n to

quote Dr Egelstaff marks a coming of age for the University

Gabriel Karl was born in Transylvania a province of Romania He obtained his B Sc in Chemistry at Romani as Univershysity of ClUJ worked for two years in industry and came to Canada in 1960 He attended graduate school at th e University of Toronto where he was awarded a Ph D in 1966 for a thesis on infrared luminesshycence following molecular colli sion Hi s Ph D supervisor was the distinguished physical chemist Dr John Polanyi

A two-year post-doctora l fellowship with the University of Torontos Depart shyment of Physics followed His mentors there were Drs J Van Kranendonk and Duk Poll who is now a professor with the Universi ty of Guelph s Depa rtment of Ph ys ics

In 1966 Dr Karl studied at the Uni versity of Oxford for two years under an NRC scho larship to study hadron spec troshyscopy and in 1969 he Joi ned the Univers itys Department of Phy sics achieving a full professorship only five years later

Dr Karls work has focussed on high energy physics - the physics of fundamen shytal particles This is an esoteric field involvshying research into the nature of matter The relatively few world leaders in thi s field tend to cluster around the half-dozen accelerators such as the $100 million four kilumete rshylon g hi gh-e nergy tunnel for accelerating electrons at Stanford University that have been built only in the US and Europe

There is no accelerator of this energy level in Canad a and fe w Canadian scie nshyti ~ts are working in this field Dr Ka rl s statu re in the international commu nity of particle physic ists is marked by his many visi ts to the world s major research ce ntres as guest speaker and to consult with his peers Referring to the time spent on thcse missions Dr Karl describes the Depart shym nt of Phys ics and his colleag ues as generouslyaccommodati ng shy

up to date on some of the excit ing things connected with the College of Arts I am gratefu l to the editor of DELPHA for this

opportu nity to let alumni readers know what we are do ing

I am pleased to be able to report a subs tant ial increase in enrolment both in the

B A program and in the College o f Arts this past yea r What is especially nice is that this has coincided with a dec is ion to tighte n our

standards at the admissions level and in the regulations for continuatio n of study

In o rder to grad uate B A students

who entered the Spring 19~3 Semester will need to obtai n a C average in 60 per cent of the courses they take

Most of o ur students are doing thi s now and we do not antici pate this will pose any

problem for the students whom we are ad mitting Next year students en tering the

B A program will be required to have Grade 13 English and we are strongly encouraging them to offer a Mathematics credit o r o ne in French or ano ther language

Applications from students wish ing to enter the B A program in the Fall 1983 Semester

are up subs tantia lly over last yea r I also want to share with you some

ha ppenings which have brought special delight to me

Elected to Royal Society

Dr Cooiel Korl

The election of Dr Gabriel Karl to a Fellowship of the Roy al Society of Canada represents what one of hi s colleagues Dr Peter Egelstaff desc ribe s as a rare honour which reflects great credit not only on Dr Karl but also on the Uni versi tys Departshyment of Physics

The Royal Society of Canada founded in 1882 to promote learning and research in the arts and sciences has numbered among its Fellows virtually all of Canadas most distinguished intellectual le ade rs of the last J00 yea rs Standards are jealously guarded and Fello wships are awarded only as a result of outstanding world-class ach ieve ment

The rarity of the honour is indicated by the fact that at the Un iversity of Guelph whose faculty includes so many academics of international distinction only five had previously achieved a Fellows hip in the Royal Society of Canada These are Dr Howard Clark vice- pres ident academic Dr Bruce Sells dean College of Biologishycal Science Dr Peter Egclstaff Depart shyment of Physics Dr Do nald Masters Prof ssor Emeri tu s De part mcnt of History and Dr He rb Armstrong retired dean of Graduate Studies

As the sixth Dr Ga briel Karl will have the added di st inction of bei ng the first whose career has been sp ot excl us ively at the Un ivers ity of Guelph which agai n to

quote Dr Egelstaff marks a coming of age for the University

Gabriel Karl was born in Transylvania a province of Romania He obtained his B Sc in Chemistry at Romani as Univershysity of ClUJ worked for two years in industry and came to Canada in 1960 He attended graduate school at th e University of Toronto where he was awarded a Ph D in 1966 for a thesis on infrared luminesshycence following molecular colli sion Hi s Ph D supervisor was the distinguished physical chemist Dr John Polanyi

A two-year post-doctora l fellowship with the University of Torontos Depart shyment of Physics followed His mentors there were Drs J Van Kranendonk and Duk Poll who is now a professor with the Universi ty of Guelph s Depa rtment of Ph ys ics

In 1966 Dr Karl studied at the Uni versity of Oxford for two years under an NRC scho larship to study hadron spec troshyscopy and in 1969 he Joi ned the Univers itys Department of Phy sics achieving a full professorship only five years later

Dr Karls work has focussed on high energy physics - the physics of fundamen shytal particles This is an esoteric field involvshying research into the nature of matter The relatively few world leaders in thi s field tend to cluster around the half-dozen accelerators such as the $100 million four kilumete rshylon g hi gh-e nergy tunnel for accelerating electrons at Stanford University that have been built only in the US and Europe

There is no accelerator of this energy level in Canad a and fe w Canadian scie nshyti ~ts are working in this field Dr Ka rl s statu re in the international commu nity of particle physic ists is marked by his many visi ts to the world s major research ce ntres as guest speaker and to consult with his peers Referring to the time spent on thcse missions Dr Karl describes the Depart shym nt of Phys ics and his colleag ues as generouslyaccommodati ng shy

up to date on some of the excit ing things connected with the College of Arts I am gratefu l to the editor of DELPHA for this

opportu nity to let alumni readers know what we are do ing

I am pleased to be able to report a subs tant ial increase in enrolment both in the

B A program and in the College o f Arts this past yea r What is especially nice is that this has coincided with a dec is ion to tighte n our

standards at the admissions level and in the regulations for continuatio n of study

In o rder to grad uate B A students

who entered the Spring 19~3 Semester will need to obtai n a C average in 60 per cent of the courses they take

Most of o ur students are doing thi s now and we do not antici pate this will pose any

problem for the students whom we are ad mitting Next year students en tering the

B A program will be required to have Grade 13 English and we are strongly encouraging them to offer a Mathematics credit o r o ne in French or ano ther language

Applications from students wish ing to enter the B A program in the Fall 1983 Semester

are up subs tantia lly over last yea r I also want to share with you some

ha ppenings which have brought special delight to me

As the sixth Dr Ga briel Karl will have the added di st inction of bei ng the first whose career has been sp ot excl us ively at the Un ivers ity of Guelph which agai n to

quote Dr Egelstaff marks a coming of age for the University

Gabriel Karl was born in Transylvania a province of Romania He obtained his B Sc in Chemistry at Romani as Univershysity of ClUJ worked for two years in industry and came to Canada in 1960 He attended graduate school at th e University of Toronto where he was awarded a Ph D in 1966 for a thesis on infrared luminesshycence following molecular colli sion Hi s Ph D supervisor was the distinguished physical chemist Dr John Polanyi

A two-year post-doctora l fellowship with the University of Torontos Depart shyment of Physics followed His mentors there were Drs J Van Kranendonk and Duk Poll who is now a professor with the Universi ty of Guelph s Depa rtment of Ph ys ics

In 1966 Dr Karl studied at the Uni versity of Oxford for two years under an NRC scho larship to study hadron spec troshyscopy and in 1969 he Joi ned the Univers itys Department of Phy sics achieving a full professorship only five years later

Dr Karls work has focussed on high energy physics - the physics of fundamen shytal particles This is an esoteric field involvshying research into the nature of matter The relatively few world leaders in thi s field tend to cluster around the half-dozen accelerators such as the $100 million four kilumete rshylon g hi gh-e nergy tunnel for accelerating electrons at Stanford University that have been built only in the US and Europe

There is no accelerator of this energy level in Canad a and fe w Canadian scie nshyti ~ts are working in this field Dr Ka rl s statu re in the international commu nity of particle physic ists is marked by his many visi ts to the world s major research ce ntres as guest speaker and to consult with his peers Referring to the time spent on thcse missions Dr Karl describes the Depart shym nt of Phys ics and his colleag ues as generouslyaccommodati ng shy

opportu nity to let alumni readers know what we are do ing

I am pleased to be able to report a subs tant ial increase in enrolment both in the

B A program and in the College o f Arts this past yea r What is especially nice is that this has coincided with a dec is ion to tighte n our

standards at the admissions level and in the regulations for continuatio n of study

In o rder to grad uate B A students

who entered the Spring 19~3 Semester will need to obtai n a C average in 60 per cent of the courses they take

Most of o ur students are doing thi s now and we do not antici pate this will pose any

problem for the students whom we are ad mitting Next year students en tering the

B A program will be required to have Grade 13 English and we are strongly encouraging them to offer a Mathematics credit o r o ne in French or ano ther language

Applications from students wish ing to enter the B A program in the Fall 1983 Semester

are up subs tantia lly over last yea r I also want to share with you some

ha ppenings which have brought special delight to me

The U ni ve rsi ty of Guelph Choir

under director Ge rald e ufeld won second prize in the 1982 CSC nation al chora l competition

In the Harbourfront a rt show last

sum mer three o f o ur students had works se lected by the jury and each won a prize shya better show ing than any of the other O nshy

1982 was a tremendous success bringing sc holars from many parts of the United States and Canada to discuss new trends in urban studies

Dean David Murray

In the space of just a few months I have seen seven books published by faculty in the Co llege The subjects include Rudyard

Kipl ing Greek Philosophy Urban History Evolution and Darwinism Reli gion and Tolerance the dramatist Gra nville Barker

and a nove l written in French Last summer also saw the completion

of a very successful facu lty exchange beshy

tween o ur Department of Eng lish and the

Uni vers ity of Reading in Britain Dr Leslie Monkman went to Reading for the year and Dr Coral Howell s visited Guelph This

opportunity enab led Dr Howells to study modern C anadian writers and she is now

now busily preparing to welcome guests from around the world

Through our liaison programs we have pioneered special day - long seminars at the

niversity for gifted children in Wellington County T he se programs are part of o ur commitment to assist secondary schools in meeting the challe nges of special education

J know many o f you will also be interes ted in knowing that last sLi mmer the

College awarded three new scholarships two of the m honouring the cont ribution made by former faculty members J Percy

We are al l ac ute ly co nscious of the

financial pressure affecting the UnivLr ~ ity
