Watstar Prime-Time QuotaWatstar has imposed a pay-per use policy in an effort to curbthe number of users and encourage responsible use of the

computing facilities. The new system, which was implementedin the middle of the fall term, will now cost you $0.48 per hour ofusage. This oost applies only during what the Watstar peoplecall 'prime-time' usage, Monday to Friday - 10:00 am to 10:00pm, and the fee is activated from the time you log on to the timeyou log off. Each user is given a $150.00 time credit at thebeginning of the term , which worKs out to 312.5 hours of comp.Jting time. Any additional time that is spent will be billed fromyour Watstar laser account. It should also be noted that thisalso applies when you telnet into your Watstar account,whether its is from a remote access or from your UNIX account.UNIX accounts, accessed from UNIX machines, currently donot have a quota Student Access

Co-op is now available through the Campus Computer Networl< While you can 't scream and shout at your favourite Co-opperson through Student Aocess, you can get the same information that is (still) available on those poorly lit cork bulletin boardssituated in poorly ventilated and sweaty halls (through yourWatstar, UNIX or Madntosh account).

Now instead of standing with 30 other dazed students staringat a wafl, you can now sit in a sweaty WATSTAR room with 30other dazed students.

This will undoubtedly exert an additional demand on ourexisting computing fadlities. Joy and Bliss

SUGGEST for Management SciencesA function is now available on Watstar to students takingMSd courses to provide anonymous feedback to their professors via E-mail. This function works like a regular E-mail editorbut allO'INs the sender's identification header to be encodedwhen t is received by the instructor Simply type "SUGGESTMSClxxx@MANSCI , or if mailing from outside WatstarU$MSClxxx@MANSCI"where xxx represents the course number. Any signature files attached to mail will not be encodedwhen using the mailing option.

A new n v i r o ~ m e n t a l Engineering degree program is nowbeing offered here at Waterloo. This new program is split intotwo branches - a Chemical Engineering branch and a CivilEngineering branch. This program and several other programsand researdl groups are planned to be housed in a new Environmental Sdence and Engineering building.

On October 13th, 1994, Premier Bob Rae announced thatthe province will provide $25.2 million dollars in funding over thenext four years . This project will cost approximately $31.5 million and will take about two years to complete construction.Construction is expected to begin in 995 996 and will createapproximately 375 jobs.{ed: Co-op?} The six-storey, 13,880square meter ESE building will be located in the area of thew G . Davis Computer Research Centre paOOng lot (B1). Thenew building will house research groups and undergraduateprograms from several Science and Engineering departmentsrelating to environmental issues.

The Midnight Sun What You Don't Kno

MI NIGHT SUSOLAR RACE TEAM

has won the SolarRace for the last two races.It's going to be a BIG car Huge Massive ... okay,

okay, ru lose the thesaurus. Words simply cannot convey how big this car is going to be. It's going to be bigI like big things.The car construction is underway, so anyone who

likes grease, bruised knuckles, grungy jeans, no sleep,cuts, scrapes, broken nails well, I always get brokennails. I don t know how many others of you that mightapply to, but you know, sometimes it really does pissme off. Anyway, right now we re building the frame.This means that we cut up pieces of aluminium, andcart it over to Raytheon, where an expert welder is

F irstly, let me get this off my chest. So, all youlousy snot-nosed cynical people who said theMidnight Sun project was mismanaged anddoomed to failure, I say HA Wrong, wrong, wrong.Wrong again. We re doing just fine without you.Ahhh, r eel better already.So, having pissed. off all the people who really were

too closed-minded to read this article anyway ..As time marches onwards we draw closer to D-DAY

... race day is in June, and that's just six months away.The excitement level is building as the car starts takingshape. We're all havin g a lot of fun bringing this projectalong. Everyone on the team has been great, and we renot only pretty well on schedule, but we also hear we reat about the same stage as Michigan State, the team that

the whole process is overseen by our frame manager.The array is also under construction, and the solar cellshave been chosen and ordered. The motor is (nearly )chosen, and the wheels have also been selected. Sowhat s left?

Fortunately, or unfortunately, depending on howyou see things, there's still a lot left to be done. There'sstill design work in both the electrical and mechanicalsystems outstanding, so someone with extraordinarilyinsightful design skills is desperately needed (no, notdesperately, but they would be appreciated). The solarcells have to be wired, so we need diagrams for that.Also, the major portion of the car construction will happen this term (who am I I kidding - make that ALL ofthe car construction).

HA You think you want to drive the car, eh? . well.., maybe. We haven t chosen our driver(s) yet. Hell,we haven t even decided if we re going to have one or

MILK DOES T STILL DO A BODY GOOD?Nicole Noel

I t can be called a vegatarian issue or an animal rightsissue, but for the majority of us it comes down to ourown health. In 1994, the US Food and Drug Administration approved the use of a synthetic version of thebovine growth hormone, (rBGH), in order to increasethe production of milk from cows.

At face value, without thought, such a development could be labelled as technology at its best. Monsanto, the multi-nalional company which developedrBGH, has sugge lcd thal increased production of afood product could mean more nutrionally soundmeals for malnourished people all over the world. Wehear about food shortages every day and as potentialengineers we use technology with th intent of fixingthe world's ills instead of creating more - isn't that supposed to be as good as it gets?

f you tamper with nature, you get in bed with thedevil - and as it turns out, rBGH causes a chain reaction of problems we as conswners should be aware of.rBGH often causes an udder infection, called Mastitis, incows, which is easily treated with antibiotics. Unfortunately, so is the milk

It is currently the USFDA's policy to test milk forantibiotics such as those used to treat Mastitis. Howeverwe all know that for every federal policy there is at leasthalf a dozen ways to find a route around it, and as such,there are altemative drugs undetectable to tl1e USFDA

W h i h have quickly burst onto the scene.We arc faced witl, a more pressing concern: when

we continually drink milk contaminated with a n t i b i ~otics we run the risk of developing a tolerance to SUdlantibiotics which makes us suseptable to more illness.

Milk has been the food we ve all associated withhealthy eating, as well as wi th strong bones and teeth,probably since grade school None of us are ignorant tothe fact that from the cow to the fridge, our milk goesthrough several processes to ensure that it is a healthydrink But in the quest to increase production, there arerisks to our health and it is important for us to be awareof this product since Monsanto is currently lobbying forapproval in Canada

Obvious ly the topic of cows being filled with drugsto increase production has endless debate potential. Weare a high production society striving to develop waysto do something better or faster, but in the case ofrBGH, there is little doubt that the health risks outweighthe benefits

Drinking antibiotics with one's cereal every moming - it defmitely doesn' t do a body good

This somwill chat with you to determine your interests, andown your name. Otherwise, just come on outof our meetings. Times are listed at the bottomEXPERIENCE REQUIRED.

Apocalypse ineMario BellabarbaV Outdrinking Their Entire Class inP O E T SSTRESSED?

Mnd of mine currently on his second worktenn was kind enough to point out to me that Iave been on campus since he was a frosh.Besides provoking a violent response, I also realised thatI had been predicting the apocalypse since last January(well, in writing anyway). Some may begin to thinkthat the end isn't coming, and that in fact I m just babbling on in an attempt to inflate my own ego. To thesepeople, I can only say: THE END IS COMlNG Do youwant proof? Well, I've gotta say that the holiday seasonproduced almost too much weirdness for even myself;and here's just a sample.

- People were actually turned away from P.o.E.TS atthe BOT Pub because we were over capacity Woodyclaims this has happened before when he was manger,but I m pretty sure that he just scared people so muchthat they didn t want to come in. A word of thanksfrom the Mangers (Colin and myself) to aU the peoplewho showed up and had a good time, as well as to themembers of the band that came all the way from A-Socto be there (thanks Alex, Sam, Leifand Autwnn).

- A town in Connecticut was having one of your typical house decorating contests. The winning house wastastefully decorated with a 15,(XX) light display featuringall the standard manger scenes, reindeerand 10 foot taU

tas. The night after the winner was declared, thehouse was in flames and burned to the ground bymorning. Do you think Someone is trying to tell ussomething?

- Memory Gardens, a local funeral home, recentlysent flyers around to aU the houses with the title: "Cremation: What you should know before you make yourdedsion." I have never really given much thought to

my final resting state, and cremation hadn' t reall beena pressing concern in my life up until then, althoughI ve often considered "vhere I d like my a he scattered ..but I digress. I m hard pressed to believe theMemory Gardens really believes there are a lot f pe0-ple lying awake at night wondering about cremation.but the mass marketing campaign didn' t make muchsense to me. I realise that medical science is getting a lotbetter, but I don t think its gotten so good that funeralhomes have to worry about people not dying anymore.After all, as an undertaker said during a class field tripto a funeral home (don t ask) back in Lennoxville, hel iked "to look upon us all as potential customers."

- The Crash Test Dummies felt the need to start producing covers of Christmas Carols, following in thefootsteps of such greats as Garth Brooks, Dionne Warwick, Kathy Lee Gifford and Bryan Adams. [ImprintArts Reviewer Mode On] Their version of "Noel" wasthe worst song of1994. This song sucked It's the worstthing the Dummies have ever puked onto a CD, andthat's saying a lot The next time they put out a single,I m gonna beat tlle shit out of every OJ tllat plays it.They couldn t have done worse if they tried. [IARMOff] Truth be known, the only times I've ever heard thesong, I fell asleep during the chorus. Good thing I wasonly doing 120 that one time.

- Burger King is giving away something called a''Room Decorating Kit with some of their Kids Oubmeals. I just have visions of little ones opening the kit tofind i t filled with permanent markers, stickers, crayonsand spray paint. Won t Mom and Dad be pleasedwhen they see what their cut little tyke did t wallsin their bedroom?

- Labatt s mindless ad champing concerning thechoice between "X" and "Y" to decide which willbecome Labatt Copper . It amazes me that peoplehaven t realised that the company will do one of twothings in the end. Either they will mix the two togetherand sell it as Copper, or they will simply sell the '1osing

beer' under a different brand name. What amazes meeven m re is that people haven't seen the social reper

'ons of being abl to go to 'Th Beer Store" and by, Beer" or "Y Beer". It sound too much like RepoMan to be fully ignored.

- While driving on the New York State 'Thruway, Isaw an exit sign that read: "Exit 34, Williamsburg, 3 lan,

ext Exit 2 km."-The number of peoplewho realise th significance of

the abo e tatement is probably higher than I suspect.Seriou ly, though, I talk about th "Great Metric Conversion" with my American brother-in-law every oncein a while, and h basically said that, since the y alreadysell pop in 2 litre bottles, all th Ywould have to do ischange the peedometers and sell gas in litres, and thconversion would be pretty much over.

Danul, as usual, I couldn't thi.nk up enough to rnake atop ten list. Oh well, here's some important upcomingevents to tide you over. I m currently in discussionswith the Dean and James Downey in an attempt to getthese as recognised university holidays, so I'll keep youposted.

onfessionsof a ity SlickerKim FarwellBChem

past work term I learned that I truly exhibitsigns of one of the greatest afilictions of SouthernOntario living: I am a city slicker. Spending mysummers in cottage country and growing up in a dose

community within the greater urbanity has probablykept me from the worst case of slickerness, but I rank upthere. And surely going to school in the wee farmingcommunity of Waterloo and work terms in the likes ofcozy Sanl.ia and chummy St. Catharines should haveprepared me for reality.

Not a chance. This littlecity slicker from greater Mis-sissauga got picked up and transported to THE FORT.

amely Fort McMurray, Alberta. Only the smallestcommunity I ve ever lived in (a tiny 32,000 people).Sure I ve vacationed and swvived in smaller places, butnone of them were 400 km from anything else resembling an urban centre.

TIle Air BC Dash8 took off from Edmonton Municipal Airport. I glanced around the plane at the dozen orso other passengers, wondering why they were going toFort McMurray on a Tuesd ay afternoon. They lookedlike a reg ular bund1. of people. Part of me had figuredFort McMurray to be just another place to live andwork. Part of me expected a community of redneckbush-types who were all related to each other wearingworn, tar sand coated work boots. No one on the planewas wearing work boots, but I looked again just tomake sure. And they didn t aU seem to know eachother, so maybe I could still be protected by big cityanonymity.

I looked out the window. All I could see were treesand muskeg. No roads, no hydro lines. I could discern

the cutting patternsthe logging operations,it seemed like just treesme. Finally I sawlines. Then a road. Andcar on the road. Andcluster of buildings thasuggested we wereapproaching a town.a runway. Can I gonow?

I caught a taxi andthe driver to take me toplace I was staying.he was somewhat confused by the address, Iured the town was a 1bigger that what I sawfrom the air, thank goodness. And as we drove along the highway I realizedthat 1 d only seen a portion of the place, as the downtown region had been hidden from view by the rivervalley and I didn t even know there was a whole othersection across the river. The cab driver asked me if Iwanted the highway, or the scenic route. 1t s a flat ratefare, your dloice./I So I opted to drive through town.

I brightened up when I saw the KFC and commentedto the driver. Yeall, well you see where it is. Near thehospital. There s a reason for that. And the hospitalsee how it has four stories,well three of them are emptydue to the cutbacks. I wouldn t want to get sick in thisplace./I Welcome to Fort McMurray. Welcome toAlberta.

Heading north on Highway 63, you aregoing to Fort McMurray. When you getthere you have the choice of hangingaround for awhile, but you have to goback the way you came. The highwayends in Fort McKay, some fifty-odd kilo-metres north of town. Ends. As in theroad doesn t go any further north. Notjust another stop along the way, end ofthe line.

Fort McMurray is much more cosmopolitan than I expected. As most ofthe population is imported a ave yet tomeet someone who was born there) thereis a wide range of cultures, most of thempurely Canadian. Fort McMunay has thelargest collection of Newfoundlandersoutside St. John s. There is a substantialmaritime contingent. About a quarter ofthe city comes from Ontario, and I metpeople who grew up in my own neighbourhood. It has the largest native population of any city its size in Canada, andthe ratio of single men to single women is9 to I, and I presume that includes theones with kids.

As some of my fellow co-op studentsquickly lea lot of the women our age had kids. The onedidn t were at university somewhere to the(hence we never met them). Fort McMurray is the transition from a frontier town to a city. Whtar sand developments began, it employed a lotple, who eventually relocated their families tMcMurray. Only recently have tlle dUldren begreach the age where they are seeking employmea life of their own. f they aren t planning to bneers, operators or contractors, options within thare limited. This means if you want a future, yoto get out. At least for a few years in university.isn t much demand for a single motl1.er.

Syncrude and Suncor (the two main tar sandtions) directly employ almost one fifth of Fort Mray, and tl1.TOugh contracting they employ manyTherefore it is not unreasonable to assun\e thapeople eitller work there themselves or have a paspouse who does. There is a bin10dal income patown; those who are supported by plant salariethose who are not. It is apparent by where they lwhat they wear. As more service-type jobs aopening of restaurants and bars mostly, more ement opportunities outside the plants are createthe less Fort McMur ray resembles a small town.

And tlle city slicker, comfortably back in tl1.e mgreater Toronto over 01.fistmas, realized she didnit as much as she thought. The traffic, the noise, teral pace of life. Whene ver I got a little bored, ato do was get out in the car and watch the othervying for scarce lanes and scarcer parki ng spacesrushed to get last minute shopping done. The citpride of our civilization. And people acting aslized as ever.

Way up north the cost of day to day living mytle higher, and there s a lot less daylight at thisyear. It s colder,and you have to wear a hat mosbut everyone else has toque-head too. t doesn t smatter where you are from when it s minus 35 abus is late. A camaraderie develops. Somethiuniversity. We re all in this together, and togetcan survive. And you remind each other thaswruner, you can still golf at 11 p.m, you can padawn, sleep and still have the full day aheadAnd you wonder if just maybe you ll decidethere for another year.

Make YourReputationPrecede You

Peter W Fman RoschkeWei me back everyone 'ormally at this point I start topra tle on abou t the WEEFparticipation rate. But all I will sa . nowi that, based on the first week ofrefunds, we are doing a littl bit hett rthan the previ us telm. For those of youthat gaye, on behalfof those that couldn'tafford to, TI-lANK YOu.

Somewhere on this page there shouldbe two tables listing the funding decision for the past two terms . Prettyimpressive for a student endowment,isn't it? For those of you that are won-dering, these two decisions bring thetotal WEEP allocations to 336,(0).

This term the Waterloo EngineeringEndowment Foundation will be spending 3O,roJ. This money will be allocated to proposals designed to improv thquality of undergraduate engineering atWaterloo. In the past these have included Watstar upgrades, lab equipmentpurchases, and student projects to llamebutafew.

While this represents quite a range ofprojects, there are some things which lieoutside the mandate of the WEEF.

1) We can not provide funding forproposals that are not education relatede.g. a new fridge for POETS).2 We will not fund projects that

should clearly be financed through othersources e.g. repainting the X or payingfor a professor's time).3)VV t d ,this term (but very large projects couldbe spread out over two spe nding cycles).In the past the majority of the propos

als were submitted by departments inco-operation with their students. How-ever, I would like to strongly encouragestudents to take the initiative (see yourWEEF rep for details). Departmentalapproval of proposals is NOT requiredalthough they will no doubt appreciatethe chance to comment on and assist inany proposal that might affect them. Ifyou arc planning to submit a proposal,the deadline is Friday Febmuy 3rd .On the evening of March 2nd tlwr('

will a WEEF proposal presenlutiol\

meeting. A WEEP rep from every engneering class will be in attendance but astudents are encouraged to come ou(this is, after all, YOUR endowment). Iyou can t make it, do n ' t worry, youclass WEEF rep will hold a summaryand discussion period during the wee
