For over 50 million years the great auk inhabited Canadas North Atlantic coastal region Closely related to the penguin family this strange but interesting species holds the dubious distinction of being the fIrst North American bird to be exterminated by man Nesting in the millions on Newfoundlands Funk Island these docile flightless creatures were slaughtered for food fuel and fashion In less than 300 years an entire species was wiped out-forever

Perhaps the greatest environshymental tragedy we can pass on to our descendants is the loss of genetic and species diversity The Canadian Nature Federation needs your help to stop the senseless destruction of our wildlife and wilderness Its too late for the great auk but your participation may prevent a similar fate befalling other plants and animals Please join today

THE COLLEGE TRADITION AT THE UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH

Following is tbe tbird edited excerpt f ro m The Achievement and Challenge a history llTilteli by Judith A Colbert in celebration of the Unil1ersity s 25th (1IIl1ilersCIIY Copies of the history llill be (wailshyable during Alu mni Weekend

Education on the Guelph campus has a long tradition h gtginning Oer 100 years ago when the Ontario government purchased a OO-acre fa rm from frederick William Stone to house its new School of Agrishyculture The doors opened lllay I 1874 A one-year practical course was offered

In 1880 the name changed to Ontar iO Agri cu ltural Colkge and Experimental Farm In IH81 A~~oshy

c iate of the College diplomas were grdnted (0 those completing a (-0shy

year course By 1887 a three-year degree course was available and the College was affiliatetl ith the University o f Toronto fo r the grUllshying of degrees In 1888 the first Bachelor of Science in Agr icullUre degrees were conferred The course was extended to four years in 1901

In 1903 OAC was joined by Macdonald Institute btablished a~ a result o f a gift from Sir William Macdonald at the request of Adelaide Hoodles~ founder of the Wome n s Institute movcment Macdona ld Institute offered threeshymonth short courses and one and two-yea r diploma courses in homeshymaki ng In 1941 academic ltlctivity was suspended when the Institute and its res idence Macdonald Hall wcre used for training Royal Canashyd ian Air Force cooks and wireless personnel The o ne-year diploma course resumed in 19-15 A fOllr-year degree program hegan in 19middotj8 with the firs t graduates receiving their Bachelor of Household Science degrees from the l jniversity of Toronto in May 1952 In 1963 the d iploma course was discontinued

A Macd()llald Institute graduate is hooded at the Ull iuersitys first comocatioll ill Alay 1965 She is congratulated by the ilollorable George Drell tbe Ull ilersitys first cbancelor as Macdonald Institute Dean Jlargaret IHcCready reads Ollt her name At tbis COIIlOcation 280 students receiled the firs t degrees bearing the name Unilersity aGuelph William Dalis then Ontarios lJillister of Un iversity Affairs was a special guest alld uorld-renOllned lluthol ecollomisl and diplomat Jobn Kennetb Galbraith OAC 31 addressed the graduates aJtel receiling tm honormJ Doctor of LalLs degree

On luly I 1970 MltIltdonald Instishyrure heltarm the College of Fam il y and Consumer Studies (rACS) The Bachltlor o f Ilou~ehold Science Vashyreplaced hy the Bachelor of Applied Science The School of HOld and Food Admini~trltion (HAFA) was formed in 1969 and is part of the College HA FA gtlduates rccei a Bachelor of Commerce degree

In 1922 the Ontario Veterinary College (OVe) became the third College to join the campus It was e~Lblished in Toronro in 1862 with a private charter granted (() Andrew Smith Teaching began in 1864 and the 1Irot Veterinary Surgeon diplomas vcre granted in 186) In 1908 the College was acquired hy th e province and operdted under the ~Iinister of Agriculture Through an arrtngemcnt wirh the University of Toronto an optional third year was added to (he course and graduates received Bachelor of Veterinary Science degrees In 1919 the course

was lengthened to four years In 19middoti6 the degree changed to Doctor o f Vcterinary Medicine In 1949 the course was extended to five years and in 1965 with establishment of the l niersit y of Guelph changed to eight semestergt prcceded hy four semesters of study in arts and science

In 1962 OAC Macdonald Insti shytute and OVC became the feuerated Colleges of the Onurio Department of Agricuitllfe affiliated with the lInhersity of Toronto for the purshypose of granting degrees Margaret McCready and Trevor Lloyd Jones principals of Macdonald Institute and OVC became deans Within the new federation JD MacLachlan president of OAC became president of the Federated Colleges while rR Richards was named first dean of OAC Three administrative units were amalgamated into one The first important step toward un ivershysit y stalus had been taken

2

By May 8 1961 three full-Hedged Colleges providing degree-level education were ready to become pan of the new n iversity of Guelph What the University lacked were intitutions devoted solely [0

arts and science The solution wa~ the creation of Wellington College by the University Senate on October 13 1964 The new College organshyized under the direction of Dean Murdo MacKinnon accepted its first students a year later

The early years were marked hy growth and change In 196H a special Senate committee was con shyvened to ~tudy and make recomshymendations with regard to the College system As a result of its report brought to Senate in 1969 WeUingwn CoUege was discontinueu July I 1970 and its departments divided into the College of Arts College of Physical Science anu College of Social Scien e On January I 1971 the Colkge of Biological Science was formed from the School of Physical Education Department of ~utrition and parts

of the Departments of Botany Microbiology and Zoology from OAC The ollege structure was complete

The term College is defined at Guelph as a group of two or more departments operating within a university structure (often called a Fac ulty at other universities)

The decisions made in 1964 and 1969 reaffirmed the College trauition at Guelph and the impor shytance of giving equal voice to each area of study In particular the dissolution of Wellington College and subsequent reorganization of the Colleges provided each a rea of study with an adll1 inhtrative lructure of manageable size and

equal opportunity for growth lnll recognition at the full decision shymaking level f the University This equa lity of opportunity was important especially in the early rears becausc it served to givc the newest dbciplincs an equal voice alongside the older and initially much larger founding Colleges

The Alumni-in-Achon committee of the UGAA conducts a number of programs and activities including an Oral History Project This involves alumni interviewing fellow alumni faculty (Illd staff to ta7e record their feelings about campus life when they were there social issue of tbe time their careers etc Pictured hee with some tapes they hme collected so far are alumni interested in doing oral histories with other alumni (front row left to right) Larry McDermott OAC 39 Leslie Laking OAC 39 Florence Partridge Mac 26 (project chait) Harvey Pettit OAC 32 and Art Ferguson OAC 38 OVC 50 and (back roll left to right) Rosemary Clark Mac 59 Director Alumni Affairs Art Grubbe OAC 41 Ross Hay OAC 45 Jack Galin OAC 47 Harold Steed OAC 43 and Cliff Barker OVC 41 Ifyou would like to be interviewed on tape possibly while YOIl

George wanted proceeds from the draw to be lIsed for the bettershyment of agriculture in this country Agriculture is an industry [ should help because I know more about it than anything else he reasoned

Now Georgc is secing his drcarrl come true At a March press confershyence it was announced that a proshyject to establish The George orris Centre at the University of Guelph is officially underway and that Dr Larry Martin has been appointed acting director of the Centre This agricultural think tank will develop policies and programs to

maximize opportunities for Canadian producers and processors and ensure the viability and profitability of Canadian agriculture

The Cenrre will be people rather than bricks and mortar The heart of the Centre will be two outstandshying faculty spec ialists - one in policy development and the other in market development and tride The Centre will also accommodate five or six graduate students who w ill conrribute to research and gain a comprehensive progressive outlook on agriculture and the future

To establish and maintain the Cent re a permanenr endowment of S2 5 million is needed Income from the endowment will provide salaries for the two specialists and pay administrative costs The endowment income wi ll also assist (he graduate students and help fund conferences through which the Centres findings will be commun ishycated to a broad audience

While much money remains to be

rai~ed funding for the Centres establishment is off to a healthy start Donors range from individuals like George Morris next -door neighbor Bob Skipper OAC 51 to multi -national corporations like James Richardson amp Sons Ltd of Winnipeg Ralston Purina Canada Inc and Ciha-Geigy Canada Ltd

The Centres concept is being whole-heartedl) supported across the country by those involved in agricultllre and concerned about its future Among the earliest supporters were the Ontario Cattlemens Assoshy iation and the Ontario Pork Board

OAC Dean Freeman McEwen chair of the Centres steering committee says We have the reshysources and illlelligence to compete in world markets more fully than ever before We need an agricultural policy to do jt and we need both

nd of the country pulling together

Stan Wilson past presideOl Canadian Canlemens Association says Canadian agricult ure must be internationally competitive to

survive That requirn sound policy thinking and polic) development The George Morris Centre will proshyvide a forum for the development of such policies

Dr Morris (Moe) Freeman Genetr Manager Semex Canada and a member of the Cen tres steering committee says Long -range planning is absolutely crucial for the future of Canadian agriculture and the George Morris Celllre is a step in the right direction

The George Morris Centre will be a fitting tribute to the man who inspired it George has been a farmer since he was 14 He i~ wellshyknown for his progres~ive att itude and contributions to the agricultural industry He has received centennial medals from both OAC and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food for these contributions

George Morris

Council and past president of both the Canadian and Ontario Cattle shymen s Associations George ha~ been a leader in agriculture for many decades I-Il operated a 500-acre beef feedlot ncar Merlin Omario and for 20 years was in the wholesale butcher business

GeorgI is an innovative forwardshythinking individual says Marilyn Robinson deelopment officer D partment of Alumni Affairs and Development and a member of the George Morri s Centre ~teering

commit tee Ill not only dreamed up the idea for the Centre he made a substantial personal commitment to its establishment anu is encourshyaging others to suppOrt it

This new procedure will simpli fy the donor s tax receipt records and be more efficient for the University

UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH A ONE-STOP CONFERENCE CENTRE

What do tht Toronto Argonauts Gtneral Electric the Salvation Army and the Canadian Association of Physicists have in common

All have used the facililie~ and services provided by the nivers ity of Guelph Conference Office

This year from April to August more than 80 groups rJnging in size from 20 to 2000 will make full use of the University s physical and human resources for everything from sport~ training camps to com shypany workshop middot and academic ~ymposia

Seventy per cent of the groups using the conference services return on an annual basis Conference tanager ancy McPherson thinks

there are two main reasons fo r this One is the attractive and centr lly located campus Although we are in a city and close to Toronto there is a coumry atmosphere here Ptople find the trce~ and landscaping appeal shying It is a refreshing environmeOl

Gary Nadalin Assistant Director for Central Reservations and Confershyences agrees We offer an academic sening combined with informality This ambiance appeals in particular to adults involved in continuing education programs Junior and middle managers whose companies send them here for training pro shygrms get a real sense of going back to school in a relaxed atmosphere

The other main reason fo r repeat business is the one-stop shopping service the Conference Office pro shyvidemiddot Office staff co-ordinate all support services required by each client - accommodation meals meet ing space audio visual equip shyment special set-ups exhibit areas wine and cheese receptions regis shytration coffee breaks athletics facilities and so on Our job is to make it as easy as po middotsible for the client who has to organize a confershyence explains ancy

Each summer Nancy hires five students to act as full-lime confer shyence co-ordinators Each co-ordinator

Nancy McPhermiddotson and Gary Nadalin of the Conference Office

is assigned a specific number o f conference groups and must ensure these groups needs are met Co shyordinators live in residence and arc on ca ll 24 hours a day while they have a group on campus

We are -ienmiddotice-oriented and try LO provide the best possible strvice for our clients explains Gary He also nOfes the important public relashytions role his office plays Often we are the only contact a delegate has with this l niversity and we wam to give a good impression

For youngsters who attend sports camps or 4-H work~hops on campus the liaison aspec t becomes important as welL 1 often arrange campus LOurs for these groups says Nancy Teenagers may decide LO attend this Un iversity based on previous experience here If they fee l comfortab le they may want to

come back Aside from the public relations

and liaison roles the Conference Office plays its main mandate is to

generate additional revenue for the Department of Residences and Food Services to keep student residence and food service fee increases to a minimum It keeps porters mainshytenance people and food service personnel employed year round as well

There is also a pin-off benefit for the cOOlmunity-at-large since we bring thousands of viitors to Guelph who spend convention dollars in the city explains Gary

Conference hu-iness is presently restricted by the number of large meeting rooms available on campus but Gary says there is growth potential for those groups which just require beds We have 4000 residence beds so groups that need hostel service without meeting rooms arc on the increase

MASSEY COFFEE SHOP

REUNION PLANNED

T he Massey Hall coffee shop may not be one of the reasons studel1ls choose to attend the niversity of Guelph but by the time they grad shyuate it is often among their fo ndest memories of campus life

The coffee shop was eswblished in the 1950s and has gone through several changcs over the years At one time or another it feat ured various forms o f entertainment in shycluding juke box pinball machines and movies These are gone now but the shops plt pularity remai ns

A group of students recently polled at the shop gave a variety of reasons for this popularity It s the oatmeal muffins said one 0 its the scones argued another Its the friend ly staff someone else spoke up Others com mented on the homey relaxed atmosphere and great prices

Barbara Buczek manager of the shop says the staffs friend li nes~ may be due to the mother instinct She explains A lot o f our students dont get home often so we like to make them feel at home when they come in here

A few alumni poUed think its the Danish pastries that make the shop great Janet Land Arts 80 now a p rofessional actress recalls The high light of my week was Monday morning drama classes Wed start with co ffee and those delic io us Danishes from Massey Hall and then run through our exercises

Richard Buck OAC 76A recalls sharing Danishes in the shop w ith his wife Barbara Brandon Arts 77 They were just too big for o ne person [0 eat alone he explains

Sarah (Wyatt) Nadalin Arts 82 remembers the shop as a way to get acquainted with studems in other areas of study You ended up w it h friends you wouldnt have known

vlaster of Landscape Architecture studellts (Cockllise fl011I left) inn Sakkal Malcolm Gordoll William Wright Vickie Morris Cbris fiart Clnd Heather Speakman tOCIst the Massey Hall coffee shop

otherwise They werc your coffee shop friends It was also a great place [0 talk informally with your professors

Professor Richard Phidd Political Studies agrees There is no sense of h iemrchy in the coffee shop so a more informal communication process can take place between facu lt y and students

Professor Phidd says the homey environmem and small wblc groupshyings b ring people closer together You meet peoplc on a personal level There is a ense of community

and a sense of tradition Its a re latively unique thing on campus I oftm take viSitors there just for the differen t environment

If you feel nostalgic for the Massey coffee shop you can take part in a rcunion there during Alumn i Week shyend Saturday June 17 from I to -i pm Just fill in the Alumni Weekend registration form in this issue of the Guelph Alunlllils to let us know you will ttke pan Come back to campus and reminisce with your old friends over ome de licious Masey muffin

FACS GRAD MONITORS CHILDRENS NUTRITION IN AFRICA

By Christopher Nea l cusa Communicat ions O fficer

Josie Vespa FACS S3 is up mos t mornings at dawn for a day trip to one of 12 villages in the northern province of Sierra Leone a tropica l forest nation of four mill ion in West Africa She has been a CUSO coshyoperant there since 1986

She begins her days by meeting with tbe village chief to give greetings and tell him we (she bas an African partner) want to weigh the young ch ildren to see how they are growing

He responds by dispatching the town crier who dashes about the mud houses announcing her arrival When the village women gather Josie weighs their children leads them in songs about nutrition or demonstrates preparation of food suitable for children starting to eat solids

It is important work in the Bombali District as josie has found up to one-quarter of the children under five are malnourished This stunts their growth impairs their mental development and leaves them prone to widespread diarrhea and malaria

Josie and her colleagues have also found most malnourishment cases arise in (he ~econd half of a baby s first year when solid foods are added to breastmilk They are invesshytigat ing exactly what cau cs the growth faltering in order to fomlulate health education strategies that will become part of a national nutrition system developed by a committee of nutritionists from across Sierra Leone

Before her contract in Sierra Leone Josie had a CUSO posting at a igerian school for the hearingshyimpaired and blind At the same time she gave health talks to pregshynant women and mothers of small chilLiren

Between that posting and her present one Josie returned to

JOSie Vespa FACS 83 consulting leitb lillagers ill Sierra Leone

Health care workers are fooling themsdves if they think they can understand nutrition problems just by obserYing them in the clinic conshysultation rOom she says

In Sierra Leone where CUSO has 15 co-opcrants Josie hclicyes she has helped developmcnt take place n small communities families tOok the firs t step in trying to solve child health problems she says And develupment took place at a national level when the government decided to institute nutrition activities

Josie is now training a Sierra Leonian for the nutrition ist s job in B0111hal i District All hough Ii fc in the villag of Binkolo has been without luxuries like transportation and toothpaste Josie says she will miss the illagcr~ when ~he leave

Oyer 60000 Canadians contribute every year to CUSO b donating money time or skills founded in 1961 CUSO has ~enL 9000 co-opershyants abroaLi and now funds more than 250 projectgt in developing countries

BIBLIOGRAPHY TO BENEFIT

MANY University school and community libraries in Wellington County hae been presented with a new biblioshygraphy of historical books brochures and essays about the region

Guelpb and Wellington COlIII) A Bibliography 0 Settlement and Development since 1800 wil l beneshyfit local teachers s tudent~ genealoshygiSts archivists municipa l offices museum staff and heritage groups

The 350-page volume wa~ comshypiled as the first step in a UniverSity o f Guelph research effort to study the Upper Grand Valley region be Guelph Regional Project was inishyt iated by Professor Gil Stelter History who chairs a faculL y group interested in re earch on the regio n The project has been funded since 1987 by a Un ie rsi t y research excdlcnce gram

The special ed ition prese11led to

county libraries schools museums and archives was made poss ible by a donation from John Sutherland and Sons Ltd of Guelph which provided funds for hinding This gift was crucial in making the bibliography aailable promptly to

users in the wider comm uni ty say~ Professor Elizabeth Bloomfield Geography who co -ordinated product ion Mary Su therland says the donation by her familys com shypany was modest compared to the Univer ity s efforts

The Guelph Regional Project will n xt publish a compilation o f pershysonal and fa m ily data based on the biographies in the 1906 Wellington County atlas and a volume of maps illustrating territoria l orgll1ization of the region since 1800

In addi t ion to providing an inforshymatio n base of primary and seconshydary source materials on Vellington County rhe Guelph Regional Project represents a model approach to the study of local and regional history that might be usefll l in other regions

NEW DIAGNOSTIC FACILITY HEIGHTENS ANIMAL WELFARE

GueljJh researchers can take an inside Look at Lille pLants and animals thanks to a new magnetic resonance imaging facility in the Department ofBiomedical Sciences Above in front of the facilitys magnetic cha mber are facility opershyliars Rheal Towner and Uwe Oehler

by enabling veterinarians to bener and more quickly diagnose problems like neurological dbease he says Some of the problems studied here could be models for human diseases and affl ictions as wel l

The limiting factor in the facility s ability to conduct research and offer diagnosis is the size of the unit s magnet and its associated frequency At present the chamber can accommodate nothing larger than Cats or puppies

Professor Janzen is applying for assistance to increase the chamber s size by SO per cent which he says will accommodate most pets requirshying MRI diagnostic ervices ll1d render better MRI images through the usc of hight[ frequencies

By O wen Roberts Office of Research

OfCanadian universities offering veterinary and animal science programs Guelph is first to have magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) a non-surgical radiation-free techshynology that offers new levels of diagnostic information

The S13-million MRl faCility under the direction of Professor Ed Janzen Chemistry and Biochemistry is located in the Department of Bioshymedical Sciences It was assembled with University funds contributed by ove OAC CBS and CPS

Like x-rays or ultrasound MRr Jets researchers look inside the body without us ing surgery But similarshyities srop there

Whereas x-rays involve low-level radiation and are essentially snapshyshots of dense matter such as bone MRl pictures are obtained through the usc of harmless magnetism by recording how the bodys hydrogens align in the presence of a magnetic field produced by the MRI unit This alignment can be translated into unprecedented pictures of areas like rhe hrain heart or lungs shywherever there is soft t issue or fat which has high concentrations of hydrogens

Like MRI ultrasound offers more than pictures of bone but ultrashysound technology cannot provide the detail ohvious in MRI images By using a sensor that can be pinshypointed anywhere along the axis of an animal placed inside a magnetic chamber magnetic resonance imagshying can isolate and depict extremely thin slices of the subject Tissue and fat appear as distinctly different bright areas in the MRI image

Research projects direltled by Professors Janzen Tammy Bray Nutritiona l Sciences and Fred Braller Chemistry and Biochemistry are already under way at the MRI facility The first series involves rats as models fo r liver and lung diseases including the effect on the liver of alcohol and toxic chemicals like chlorocarbons found in dryshycleaning fluids and the influence of mineral deficient dieb on the lung

The availahility of the MRI unit means the progre~s of diseases can be studied without having to ellthanshyize anima ls or conduct inva -ive surgery

Prafes or Janzen says MR[ will become an important tool for enhancing animal research and diagnostic work at the Univers ity The procedures we are develuping will advance the welfare of animals

DEADLY BACTERIA QUICKLY IDENTIFIED WITH NEW KIT

By Owen Roberts Office of Research

A research team Jed by Micro shybiology Professor Joseph Lam has lIevelopnl a lIiagnostic kit that can quickly idcntify a bacteria gro up known to cause fatal infections in some hospita l patients in a m atte r of days The kit is composell o f monoclonal antibodies that can illentifyall 1- straim of the dead ly baClerium Pseudolllollas aerugillOsa

Typicall y Pseudomonas i nade~

humans whosc immune systems are suppressell inoperative or in shock - such as burn victims cmcer patients and people undergoing transplants It cause~ high fever ti ssue damage and pneumon ia Treatment i~ difficull hecause the bacterium is highly resistant LO

antibiotics lI1d antiseptics Spcell is imperative in identifying the hacteriums presence to prevent its spreading

Convemional illemificaliol1 which involve~ culturing hacteria from the palients blood or sputum takes a least 12 hours Profe~sor Lams kit reduces the test period to Jess than five minutes

Tbe kit consists of 17 kinds of

monoclonal amibodies produced from clones of antibody-producing ce lls spec ific to each strain o f bacterium Ind ividual ant ibodies are attrdcted 10 their own specific bacshyterium where they settle in clumps As well ant ibodies from the kit can be attached 10 chemicals that will flouresce under ult raviolet light

By observing either the clumping reaction between a patients blood or sputum sample and the various ant ibodies from the kit or studying the sample under the microscope medical personnel ca n determine the strain of bacterium

The kit 10 retail for about $500 can be used to analyse up to sao samples The UnivelSity is negotiating marketing rights fo r conuncrciaJ disshytribution w ith a private company

Professor Lam s research is supported by the Medi cal Research Council of Canada and the Natura l Sciences and Engineering Research Council He is now concentrating on using the ant ibodies as probes to stud y cell su rfaces o f the various Pseudomonas a eruginosa bacteria 10 create a vaccine 10 prevent the infection by he lp ing 10 kill the organ ism

By May 8 1961 three full-Hedged Colleges providing degree-level education were ready to become pan of the new n iversity of Guelph What the University lacked were intitutions devoted solely [0

arts and science The solution wa~ the creation of Wellington College by the University Senate on October 13 1964 The new College organshyized under the direction of Dean Murdo MacKinnon accepted its first students a year later

The early years were marked hy growth and change In 196H a special Senate committee was con shyvened to ~tudy and make recomshymendations with regard to the College system As a result of its report brought to Senate in 1969 WeUingwn CoUege was discontinueu July I 1970 and its departments divided into the College of Arts College of Physical Science anu College of Social Scien e On January I 1971 the Colkge of Biological Science was formed from the School of Physical Education Department of ~utrition and parts

of the Departments of Botany Microbiology and Zoology from OAC The ollege structure was complete

The term College is defined at Guelph as a group of two or more departments operating within a university structure (often called a Fac ulty at other universities)

The decisions made in 1964 and 1969 reaffirmed the College trauition at Guelph and the impor shytance of giving equal voice to each area of study In particular the dissolution of Wellington College and subsequent reorganization of the Colleges provided each a rea of study with an adll1 inhtrative lructure of manageable size and

equal opportunity for growth lnll recognition at the full decision shymaking level f the University This equa lity of opportunity was important especially in the early rears becausc it served to givc the newest dbciplincs an equal voice alongside the older and initially much larger founding Colleges

The Alumni-in-Achon committee of the UGAA conducts a number of programs and activities including an Oral History Project This involves alumni interviewing fellow alumni faculty (Illd staff to ta7e record their feelings about campus life when they were there social issue of tbe time their careers etc Pictured hee with some tapes they hme collected so far are alumni interested in doing oral histories with other alumni (front row left to right) Larry McDermott OAC 39 Leslie Laking OAC 39 Florence Partridge Mac 26 (project chait) Harvey Pettit OAC 32 and Art Ferguson OAC 38 OVC 50 and (back roll left to right) Rosemary Clark Mac 59 Director Alumni Affairs Art Grubbe OAC 41 Ross Hay OAC 45 Jack Galin OAC 47 Harold Steed OAC 43 and Cliff Barker OVC 41 Ifyou would like to be interviewed on tape possibly while YOIl

THE GEORGE MORRIS CENTRE I t all staned with a gleaming red sports car and a man of vision

When George Morri~ retired farmer and long-time fri end of the University of Guelph decided morc than two years ago to donate a Corvette to the University his gesture grew into a unique fund-raising project for The Campaign The car was grand prize in a draw held at Homecoming 87

George wanted proceeds from the draw to be lIsed for the bettershyment of agriculture in this country Agriculture is an industry [ should help because I know more about it than anything else he reasoned

Now Georgc is secing his drcarrl come true At a March press confershyence it was announced that a proshyject to establish The George orris Centre at the University of Guelph is officially underway and that Dr Larry Martin has been appointed acting director of the Centre This agricultural think tank will develop policies and programs to

maximize opportunities for Canadian producers and processors and ensure the viability and profitability of Canadian agriculture

The Cenrre will be people rather than bricks and mortar The heart of the Centre will be two outstandshying faculty spec ialists - one in policy development and the other in market development and tride The Centre will also accommodate five or six graduate students who w ill conrribute to research and gain a comprehensive progressive outlook on agriculture and the future

To establish and maintain the Cent re a permanenr endowment of S2 5 million is needed Income from the endowment will provide salaries for the two specialists and pay administrative costs The endowment income wi ll also assist (he graduate students and help fund conferences through which the Centres findings will be commun ishycated to a broad audience

While much money remains to be

rai~ed funding for the Centres establishment is off to a healthy start Donors range from individuals like George Morris next -door neighbor Bob Skipper OAC 51 to multi -national corporations like James Richardson amp Sons Ltd of Winnipeg Ralston Purina Canada Inc and Ciha-Geigy Canada Ltd

The Centres concept is being whole-heartedl) supported across the country by those involved in agricultllre and concerned about its future Among the earliest supporters were the Ontario Cattlemens Assoshy iation and the Ontario Pork Board

OAC Dean Freeman McEwen chair of the Centres steering committee says We have the reshysources and illlelligence to compete in world markets more fully than ever before We need an agricultural policy to do jt and we need both

nd of the country pulling together

Stan Wilson past presideOl Canadian Canlemens Association says Canadian agricult ure must be internationally competitive to

survive That requirn sound policy thinking and polic) development The George Morris Centre will proshyvide a forum for the development of such policies

Dr Morris (Moe) Freeman Genetr Manager Semex Canada and a member of the Cen tres steering committee says Long -range planning is absolutely crucial for the future of Canadian agriculture and the George Morris Celllre is a step in the right direction

The George Morris Centre will be a fitting tribute to the man who inspired it George has been a farmer since he was 14 He i~ wellshyknown for his progres~ive att itude and contributions to the agricultural industry He has received centennial medals from both OAC and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food for these contributions

A founding member of the OnGlfiO Beef Improvement Association a member of the Ontario Grain Corn

George Morris

Council and past president of both the Canadian and Ontario Cattle shymen s Associations George ha~ been a leader in agriculture for many decades I-Il operated a 500-acre beef feedlot ncar Merlin Omario and for 20 years was in the wholesale butcher business

GeorgI is an innovative forwardshythinking individual says Marilyn Robinson deelopment officer D partment of Alumni Affairs and Development and a member of the George Morri s Centre ~teering

commit tee Ill not only dreamed up the idea for the Centre he made a substantial personal commitment to its establishment anu is encourshyaging others to suppOrt it

If you would like additional information about the Centre contad Marilyn Robinson at Alumni House l niversity of Guelph N1(3 2W1 (519) 82lt+--1120 ext 6)-i2

NEW RECEIPT PROCEDURE

A new procedure for issuing campaign donation receipts has been implemented in the Department of Alumni Affairs and Development

Previously if a donor gave three or more donalions annua ll y a separate receipt would be issued for each donation Now a single receipt will bt issued for all donations made by a donor in one year

This meam that a single receipt for all a donor s contributions in the ]989 calendar year will be mailed early in 1990 in time for tax declaration

This new procedure will simpli fy the donor s tax receipt records and be more efficient for the University

UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH A ONE-STOP CONFERENCE CENTRE

What do tht Toronto Argonauts Gtneral Electric the Salvation Army and the Canadian Association of Physicists have in common

All have used the facililie~ and services provided by the nivers ity of Guelph Conference Office

This year from April to August more than 80 groups rJnging in size from 20 to 2000 will make full use of the University s physical and human resources for everything from sport~ training camps to com shypany workshop middot and academic ~ymposia

Seventy per cent of the groups using the conference services return on an annual basis Conference tanager ancy McPherson thinks

there are two main reasons fo r this One is the attractive and centr lly located campus Although we are in a city and close to Toronto there is a coumry atmosphere here Ptople find the trce~ and landscaping appeal shying It is a refreshing environmeOl

Gary Nadalin Assistant Director for Central Reservations and Confershyences agrees We offer an academic sening combined with informality This ambiance appeals in particular to adults involved in continuing education programs Junior and middle managers whose companies send them here for training pro shygrms get a real sense of going back to school in a relaxed atmosphere

The other main reason fo r repeat business is the one-stop shopping service the Conference Office pro shyvidemiddot Office staff co-ordinate all support services required by each client - accommodation meals meet ing space audio visual equip shyment special set-ups exhibit areas wine and cheese receptions regis shytration coffee breaks athletics facilities and so on Our job is to make it as easy as po middotsible for the client who has to organize a confershyence explains ancy

Each summer Nancy hires five students to act as full-lime confer shyence co-ordinators Each co-ordinator

Nancy McPhermiddotson and Gary Nadalin of the Conference Office

is assigned a specific number o f conference groups and must ensure these groups needs are met Co shyordinators live in residence and arc on ca ll 24 hours a day while they have a group on campus

We are -ienmiddotice-oriented and try LO provide the best possible strvice for our clients explains Gary He also nOfes the important public relashytions role his office plays Often we are the only contact a delegate has with this l niversity and we wam to give a good impression

For youngsters who attend sports camps or 4-H work~hops on campus the liaison aspec t becomes important as welL 1 often arrange campus LOurs for these groups says Nancy Teenagers may decide LO attend this Un iversity based on previous experience here If they fee l comfortab le they may want to

come back Aside from the public relations

and liaison roles the Conference Office plays its main mandate is to

generate additional revenue for the Department of Residences and Food Services to keep student residence and food service fee increases to a minimum It keeps porters mainshytenance people and food service personnel employed year round as well

There is also a pin-off benefit for the cOOlmunity-at-large since we bring thousands of viitors to Guelph who spend convention dollars in the city explains Gary

Conference hu-iness is presently restricted by the number of large meeting rooms available on campus but Gary says there is growth potential for those groups which just require beds We have 4000 residence beds so groups that need hostel service without meeting rooms arc on the increase

MASSEY COFFEE SHOP

REUNION PLANNED

T he Massey Hall coffee shop may not be one of the reasons studel1ls choose to attend the niversity of Guelph but by the time they grad shyuate it is often among their fo ndest memories of campus life

The coffee shop was eswblished in the 1950s and has gone through several changcs over the years At one time or another it feat ured various forms o f entertainment in shycluding juke box pinball machines and movies These are gone now but the shops plt pularity remai ns

A group of students recently polled at the shop gave a variety of reasons for this popularity It s the oatmeal muffins said one 0 its the scones argued another Its the friend ly staff someone else spoke up Others com mented on the homey relaxed atmosphere and great prices

Barbara Buczek manager of the shop says the staffs friend li nes~ may be due to the mother instinct She explains A lot o f our students dont get home often so we like to make them feel at home when they come in here

A few alumni poUed think its the Danish pastries that make the shop great Janet Land Arts 80 now a p rofessional actress recalls The high light of my week was Monday morning drama classes Wed start with co ffee and those delic io us Danishes from Massey Hall and then run through our exercises

Richard Buck OAC 76A recalls sharing Danishes in the shop w ith his wife Barbara Brandon Arts 77 They were just too big for o ne person [0 eat alone he explains

Sarah (Wyatt) Nadalin Arts 82 remembers the shop as a way to get acquainted with studems in other areas of study You ended up w it h friends you wouldnt have known

vlaster of Landscape Architecture studellts (Cockllise fl011I left) inn Sakkal Malcolm Gordoll William Wright Vickie Morris Cbris fiart Clnd Heather Speakman tOCIst the Massey Hall coffee shop

otherwise They werc your coffee shop friends It was also a great place [0 talk informally with your professors

Professor Richard Phidd Political Studies agrees There is no sense of h iemrchy in the coffee shop so a more informal communication process can take place between facu lt y and students

Professor Phidd says the homey environmem and small wblc groupshyings b ring people closer together You meet peoplc on a personal level There is a ense of community

and a sense of tradition Its a re latively unique thing on campus I oftm take viSitors there just for the differen t environment

If you feel nostalgic for the Massey coffee shop you can take part in a rcunion there during Alumn i Week shyend Saturday June 17 from I to -i pm Just fill in the Alumni Weekend registration form in this issue of the Guelph Alunlllils to let us know you will ttke pan Come back to campus and reminisce with your old friends over ome de licious Masey muffin

FACS GRAD MONITORS CHILDRENS NUTRITION IN AFRICA

By Christopher Nea l cusa Communicat ions O fficer

Josie Vespa FACS S3 is up mos t mornings at dawn for a day trip to one of 12 villages in the northern province of Sierra Leone a tropica l forest nation of four mill ion in West Africa She has been a CUSO coshyoperant there since 1986

She begins her days by meeting with tbe village chief to give greetings and tell him we (she bas an African partner) want to weigh the young ch ildren to see how they are growing

He responds by dispatching the town crier who dashes about the mud houses announcing her arrival When the village women gather Josie weighs their children leads them in songs about nutrition or demonstrates preparation of food suitable for children starting to eat solids

It is important work in the Bombali District as josie has found up to one-quarter of the children under five are malnourished This stunts their growth impairs their mental development and leaves them prone to widespread diarrhea and malaria

Josie and her colleagues have also found most malnourishment cases arise in (he ~econd half of a baby s first year when solid foods are added to breastmilk They are invesshytigat ing exactly what cau cs the growth faltering in order to fomlulate health education strategies that will become part of a national nutrition system developed by a committee of nutritionists from across Sierra Leone

Before her contract in Sierra Leone Josie had a CUSO posting at a igerian school for the hearingshyimpaired and blind At the same time she gave health talks to pregshynant women and mothers of small chilLiren

Between that posting and her present one Josie returned to

JOSie Vespa FACS 83 consulting leitb lillagers ill Sierra Leone

Canada for a )lar of study in obstcshytries child care communicable diseases and health care delivery at Seneca College North York While the Seneca courses and her previous nutrit ion degree from Guelph were useful Jo~ie sap the starling point to cont ribute to an imprmeOleot in the health of West African villagcr~ was going into their homes and eating thdr foocl

Health care workers are fooling themsdves if they think they can understand nutrition problems just by obserYing them in the clinic conshysultation rOom she says

In Sierra Leone where CUSO has 15 co-opcrants Josie hclicyes she has helped developmcnt take place n small communities families tOok the firs t step in trying to solve child health problems she says And develupment took place at a national level when the government decided to institute nutrition activities

Josie is now training a Sierra Leonian for the nutrition ist s job in B0111hal i District All hough Ii fc in the villag of Binkolo has been without luxuries like transportation and toothpaste Josie says she will miss the illagcr~ when ~he leave

Oyer 60000 Canadians contribute every year to CUSO b donating money time or skills founded in 1961 CUSO has ~enL 9000 co-opershyants abroaLi and now funds more than 250 projectgt in developing countries

BIBLIOGRAPHY TO BENEFIT

MANY University school and community libraries in Wellington County hae been presented with a new biblioshygraphy of historical books brochures and essays about the region

Guelpb and Wellington COlIII) A Bibliography 0 Settlement and Development since 1800 wil l beneshyfit local teachers s tudent~ genealoshygiSts archivists municipa l offices museum staff and heritage groups

The 350-page volume wa~ comshypiled as the first step in a UniverSity o f Guelph research effort to study the Upper Grand Valley region be Guelph Regional Project was inishyt iated by Professor Gil Stelter History who chairs a faculL y group interested in re earch on the regio n The project has been funded since 1987 by a Un ie rsi t y research excdlcnce gram

The special ed ition prese11led to

county libraries schools museums and archives was made poss ible by a donation from John Sutherland and Sons Ltd of Guelph which provided funds for hinding This gift was crucial in making the bibliography aailable promptly to

users in the wider comm uni ty say~ Professor Elizabeth Bloomfield Geography who co -ordinated product ion Mary Su therland says the donation by her familys com shypany was modest compared to the Univer ity s efforts

The Guelph Regional Project will n xt publish a compilation o f pershysonal and fa m ily data based on the biographies in the 1906 Wellington County atlas and a volume of maps illustrating territoria l orgll1ization of the region since 1800

NEW DIAGNOSTIC FACILITY HEIGHTENS ANIMAL WELFARE

GueljJh researchers can take an inside Look at Lille pLants and animals thanks to a new magnetic resonance imaging facility in the Department ofBiomedical Sciences Above in front of the facilitys magnetic cha mber are facility opershyliars Rheal Towner and Uwe Oehler

by enabling veterinarians to bener and more quickly diagnose problems like neurological dbease he says Some of the problems studied here could be models for human diseases and affl ictions as wel l

The limiting factor in the facility s ability to conduct research and offer diagnosis is the size of the unit s magnet and its associated frequency At present the chamber can accommodate nothing larger than Cats or puppies

Professor Janzen is applying for assistance to increase the chamber s size by SO per cent which he says will accommodate most pets requirshying MRI diagnostic ervices ll1d render better MRI images through the usc of hight[ frequencies

By O wen Roberts Office of Research

OfCanadian universities offering veterinary and animal science programs Guelph is first to have magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) a non-surgical radiation-free techshynology that offers new levels of diagnostic information

The S13-million MRl faCility under the direction of Professor Ed Janzen Chemistry and Biochemistry is located in the Department of Bioshymedical Sciences It was assembled with University funds contributed by ove OAC CBS and CPS

Like x-rays or ultrasound MRr Jets researchers look inside the body without us ing surgery But similarshyities srop there

Whereas x-rays involve low-level radiation and are essentially snapshyshots of dense matter such as bone MRl pictures are obtained through the usc of harmless magnetism by recording how the bodys hydrogens align in the presence of a magnetic field produced by the MRI unit This alignment can be translated into unprecedented pictures of areas like rhe hrain heart or lungs shywherever there is soft t issue or fat which has high concentrations of hydrogens

Like MRI ultrasound offers more than pictures of bone but ultrashysound technology cannot provide the detail ohvious in MRI images By using a sensor that can be pinshypointed anywhere along the axis of an animal placed inside a magnetic chamber magnetic resonance imagshying can isolate and depict extremely thin slices of the subject Tissue and fat appear as distinctly different bright areas in the MRI image

Research projects direltled by Professors Janzen Tammy Bray Nutritiona l Sciences and Fred Braller Chemistry and Biochemistry are already under way at the MRI facility The first series involves rats as models fo r liver and lung diseases including the effect on the liver of alcohol and toxic chemicals like chlorocarbons found in dryshycleaning fluids and the influence of mineral deficient dieb on the lung

The availahility of the MRI unit means the progre~s of diseases can be studied without having to ellthanshyize anima ls or conduct inva -ive surgery

Prafes or Janzen says MR[ will become an important tool for enhancing animal research and diagnostic work at the Univers ity The procedures we are develuping will advance the welfare of animals

DEADLY BACTERIA QUICKLY IDENTIFIED WITH NEW KIT

By Owen Roberts Office of Research

A research team Jed by Micro shybiology Professor Joseph Lam has lIevelopnl a lIiagnostic kit that can quickly idcntify a bacteria gro up known to cause fatal infections in some hospita l patients in a m atte r of days The kit is composell o f monoclonal antibodies that can illentifyall 1- straim of the dead ly baClerium Pseudolllollas aerugillOsa

Typicall y Pseudomonas i nade~

humans whosc immune systems are suppressell inoperative or in shock - such as burn victims cmcer patients and people undergoing transplants It cause~ high fever ti ssue damage and pneumon ia Treatment i~ difficull hecause the bacterium is highly resistant LO

antibiotics lI1d antiseptics Spcell is imperative in identifying the hacteriums presence to prevent its spreading

Convemional illemificaliol1 which involve~ culturing hacteria from the palients blood or sputum takes a least 12 hours Profe~sor Lams kit reduces the test period to Jess than five minutes

Tbe kit consists of 17 kinds of

monoclonal amibodies produced from clones of antibody-producing ce lls spec ific to each strain o f bacterium Ind ividual ant ibodies are attrdcted 10 their own specific bacshyterium where they settle in clumps As well ant ibodies from the kit can be attached 10 chemicals that will flouresce under ult raviolet light

By observing either the clumping reaction between a patients blood or sputum sample and the various ant ibodies from the kit or studying the sample under the microscope medical personnel ca n determine the strain of bacterium

The kit 10 retail for about $500 can be used to analyse up to sao samples The UnivelSity is negotiating marketing rights fo r conuncrciaJ disshytribution w ith a private company

Professor Lam s research is supported by the Medi cal Research Council of Canada and the Natura l Sciences and Engineering Research Council He is now concentrating on using the ant ibodies as probes to stud y cell su rfaces o f the various Pseudomonas a eruginosa bacteria 10 create a vaccine 10 prevent the infection by he lp ing 10 kill the organ ism

THE GEORGE MORRIS CENTRE I t all staned with a gleaming red sports car and a man of vision

When George Morri~ retired farmer and long-time fri end of the University of Guelph decided morc than two years ago to donate a Corvette to the University his gesture grew into a unique fund-raising project for The Campaign The car was grand prize in a draw held at Homecoming 87

George wanted proceeds from the draw to be lIsed for the bettershyment of agriculture in this country Agriculture is an industry [ should help because I know more about it than anything else he reasoned

Now Georgc is secing his drcarrl come true At a March press confershyence it was announced that a proshyject to establish The George orris Centre at the University of Guelph is officially underway and that Dr Larry Martin has been appointed acting director of the Centre This agricultural think tank will develop policies and programs to

maximize opportunities for Canadian producers and processors and ensure the viability and profitability of Canadian agriculture

The Cenrre will be people rather than bricks and mortar The heart of the Centre will be two outstandshying faculty spec ialists - one in policy development and the other in market development and tride The Centre will also accommodate five or six graduate students who w ill conrribute to research and gain a comprehensive progressive outlook on agriculture and the future

To establish and maintain the Cent re a permanenr endowment of S2 5 million is needed Income from the endowment will provide salaries for the two specialists and pay administrative costs The endowment income wi ll also assist (he graduate students and help fund conferences through which the Centres findings will be commun ishycated to a broad audience

While much money remains to be

rai~ed funding for the Centres establishment is off to a healthy start Donors range from individuals like George Morris next -door neighbor Bob Skipper OAC 51 to multi -national corporations like James Richardson amp Sons Ltd of Winnipeg Ralston Purina Canada Inc and Ciha-Geigy Canada Ltd

The Centres concept is being whole-heartedl) supported across the country by those involved in agricultllre and concerned about its future Among the earliest supporters were the Ontario Cattlemens Assoshy iation and the Ontario Pork Board

OAC Dean Freeman McEwen chair of the Centres steering committee says We have the reshysources and illlelligence to compete in world markets more fully than ever before We need an agricultural policy to do jt and we need both

nd of the country pulling together

Stan Wilson past presideOl Canadian Canlemens Association says Canadian agricult ure must be internationally competitive to

survive That requirn sound policy thinking and polic) development The George Morris Centre will proshyvide a forum for the development of such policies

Dr Morris (Moe) Freeman Genetr Manager Semex Canada and a member of the Cen tres steering committee says Long -range planning is absolutely crucial for the future of Canadian agriculture and the George Morris Celllre is a step in the right direction

The George Morris Centre will be a fitting tribute to the man who inspired it George has been a farmer since he was 14 He i~ wellshyknown for his progres~ive att itude and contributions to the agricultural industry He has received centennial medals from both OAC and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food for these contributions

A founding member of the OnGlfiO Beef Improvement Association a member of the Ontario Grain Corn

George Morris

Council and past president of both the Canadian and Ontario Cattle shymen s Associations George ha~ been a leader in agriculture for many decades I-Il operated a 500-acre beef feedlot ncar Merlin Omario and for 20 years was in the wholesale butcher business

GeorgI is an innovative forwardshythinking individual says Marilyn Robinson deelopment officer D partment of Alumni Affairs and Development and a member of the George Morri s Centre ~teering

commit tee Ill not only dreamed up the idea for the Centre he made a substantial personal commitment to its establishment anu is encourshyaging others to suppOrt it

If you would like additional information about the Centre contad Marilyn Robinson at Alumni House l niversity of Guelph N1(3 2W1 (519) 82lt+--1120 ext 6)-i2

NEW RECEIPT PROCEDURE

A new procedure for issuing campaign donation receipts has been implemented in the Department of Alumni Affairs and Development

Previously if a donor gave three or more donalions annua ll y a separate receipt would be issued for each donation Now a single receipt will bt issued for all donations made by a donor in one year

This meam that a single receipt for all a donor s contributions in the ]989 calendar year will be mailed early in 1990 in time for tax declaration

This new procedure will simpli fy the donor s tax receipt records and be more efficient for the University

UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH A ONE-STOP CONFERENCE CENTRE

What do tht Toronto Argonauts Gtneral Electric the Salvation Army and the Canadian Association of Physicists have in common

All have used the facililie~ and services provided by the nivers ity of Guelph Conference Office

This year from April to August more than 80 groups rJnging in size from 20 to 2000 will make full use of the University s physical and human resources for everything from sport~ training camps to com shypany workshop middot and academic ~ymposia

Seventy per cent of the groups using the conference services return on an annual basis Conference tanager ancy McPherson thinks

there are two main reasons fo r this One is the attractive and centr lly located campus Although we are in a city and close to Toronto there is a coumry atmosphere here Ptople find the trce~ and landscaping appeal shying It is a refreshing environmeOl

Gary Nadalin Assistant Director for Central Reservations and Confershyences agrees We offer an academic sening combined with informality This ambiance appeals in particular to adults involved in continuing education programs Junior and middle managers whose companies send them here for training pro shygrms get a real sense of going back to school in a relaxed atmosphere

The other main reason fo r repeat business is the one-stop shopping service the Conference Office pro shyvidemiddot Office staff co-ordinate all support services required by each client - accommodation meals meet ing space audio visual equip shyment special set-ups exhibit areas wine and cheese receptions regis shytration coffee breaks athletics facilities and so on Our job is to make it as easy as po middotsible for the client who has to organize a confershyence explains ancy

Each summer Nancy hires five students to act as full-lime confer shyence co-ordinators Each co-ordinator

Nancy McPhermiddotson and Gary Nadalin of the Conference Office

is assigned a specific number o f conference groups and must ensure these groups needs are met Co shyordinators live in residence and arc on ca ll 24 hours a day while they have a group on campus

We are -ienmiddotice-oriented and try LO provide the best possible strvice for our clients explains Gary He also nOfes the important public relashytions role his office plays Often we are the only contact a delegate has with this l niversity and we wam to give a good impression

For youngsters who attend sports camps or 4-H work~hops on campus the liaison aspec t becomes important as welL 1 often arrange campus LOurs for these groups says Nancy Teenagers may decide LO attend this Un iversity based on previous experience here If they fee l comfortab le they may want to

come back Aside from the public relations

and liaison roles the Conference Office plays its main mandate is to

generate additional revenue for the Department of Residences and Food Services to keep student residence and food service fee increases to a minimum It keeps porters mainshytenance people and food service personnel employed year round as well

There is also a pin-off benefit for the cOOlmunity-at-large since we bring thousands of viitors to Guelph who spend convention dollars in the city explains Gary

Conference hu-iness is presently restricted by the number of large meeting rooms available on campus but Gary says there is growth potential for those groups which just require beds We have 4000 residence beds so groups that need hostel service without meeting rooms arc on the increase

MASSEY COFFEE SHOP

REUNION PLANNED

T he Massey Hall coffee shop may not be one of the reasons studel1ls choose to attend the niversity of Guelph but by the time they grad shyuate it is often among their fo ndest memories of campus life

The coffee shop was eswblished in the 1950s and has gone through several changcs over the years At one time or another it feat ured various forms o f entertainment in shycluding juke box pinball machines and movies These are gone now but the shops plt pularity remai ns

A group of students recently polled at the shop gave a variety of reasons for this popularity It s the oatmeal muffins said one 0 its the scones argued another Its the friend ly staff someone else spoke up Others com mented on the homey relaxed atmosphere and great prices

Professor Richard Phidd Political Studies agrees There is no sense of h iemrchy in the coffee shop so a more informal communication process can take place between facu lt y and students

FACS GRAD MONITORS CHILDRENS NUTRITION IN AFRICA

By Christopher Nea l cusa Communicat ions O fficer

Josie Vespa FACS S3 is up mos t mornings at dawn for a day trip to one of 12 villages in the northern province of Sierra Leone a tropica l forest nation of four mill ion in West Africa She has been a CUSO coshyoperant there since 1986

She begins her days by meeting with tbe village chief to give greetings and tell him we (she bas an African partner) want to weigh the young ch ildren to see how they are growing

He responds by dispatching the town crier who dashes about the mud houses announcing her arrival When the village women gather Josie weighs their children leads them in songs about nutrition or demonstrates preparation of food suitable for children starting to eat solids

It is important work in the Bombali District as josie has found up to one-quarter of the children under five are malnourished This stunts their growth impairs their mental development and leaves them prone to widespread diarrhea and malaria

Josie and her colleagues have also found most malnourishment cases arise in (he ~econd half of a baby s first year when solid foods are added to breastmilk They are invesshytigat ing exactly what cau cs the growth faltering in order to fomlulate health education strategies that will become part of a national nutrition system developed by a committee of nutritionists from across Sierra Leone

Before her contract in Sierra Leone Josie had a CUSO posting at a igerian school for the hearingshyimpaired and blind At the same time she gave health talks to pregshynant women and mothers of small chilLiren

Between that posting and her present one Josie returned to

JOSie Vespa FACS 83 consulting leitb lillagers ill Sierra Leone

Canada for a )lar of study in obstcshytries child care communicable diseases and health care delivery at Seneca College North York While the Seneca courses and her previous nutrit ion degree from Guelph were useful Jo~ie sap the starling point to cont ribute to an imprmeOleot in the health of West African villagcr~ was going into their homes and eating thdr foocl

Health care workers are fooling themsdves if they think they can understand nutrition problems just by obserYing them in the clinic conshysultation rOom she says

In Sierra Leone where CUSO has 15 co-opcrants Josie hclicyes she has helped developmcnt take place n small communities families tOok the firs t step in trying to solve child health problems she says And develupment took place at a national level when the government decided to institute nutrition activities

Josie is now training a Sierra Leonian for the nutrition ist s job in B0111hal i District All hough Ii fc in the villag of Binkolo has been without luxuries like transportation and toothpaste Josie says she will miss the illagcr~ when ~he leave

Oyer 60000 Canadians contribute every year to CUSO b donating money time or skills founded in 1961 CUSO has ~enL 9000 co-opershyants abroaLi and now funds more than 250 projectgt in developing countries

BIBLIOGRAPHY TO BENEFIT

MANY University school and community libraries in Wellington County hae been presented with a new biblioshygraphy of historical books brochures and essays about the region

Guelpb and Wellington COlIII) A Bibliography 0 Settlement and Development since 1800 wil l beneshyfit local teachers s tudent~ genealoshygiSts archivists municipa l offices museum staff and heritage groups

The 350-page volume wa~ comshypiled as the first step in a UniverSity o f Guelph research effort to study the Upper Grand Valley region be Guelph Regional Project was inishyt iated by Professor Gil Stelter History who chairs a faculL y group interested in re earch on the regio n The project has been funded since 1987 by a Un ie rsi t y research excdlcnce gram

The special ed ition prese11led to

county libraries schools museums and archives was made poss ible by a donation from John Sutherland and Sons Ltd of Guelph which provided funds for hinding This gift was crucial in making the bibliography aailable promptly to

users in the wider comm uni ty say~ Professor Elizabeth Bloomfield Geography who co -ordinated product ion Mary Su therland says the donation by her familys com shypany was modest compared to the Univer ity s efforts

The Guelph Regional Project will n xt publish a compilation o f pershysonal and fa m ily data based on the biographies in the 1906 Wellington County atlas and a volume of maps illustrating territoria l orgll1ization of the region since 1800

In addi t ion to providing an inforshymatio n base of primary and seconshydary source materials on Vellington County rhe Guelph Regional Project represents a model approach to the study of local and regional history that might be usefll l in other regions

NEW DIAGNOSTIC FACILITY HEIGHTENS ANIMAL WELFARE

GueljJh researchers can take an inside Look at Lille pLants and animals thanks to a new magnetic resonance imaging facility in the Department ofBiomedical Sciences Above in front of the facilitys magnetic cha mber are facility opershyliars Rheal Towner and Uwe Oehler

by enabling veterinarians to bener and more quickly diagnose problems like neurological dbease he says Some of the problems studied here could be models for human diseases and affl ictions as wel l

The limiting factor in the facility s ability to conduct research and offer diagnosis is the size of the unit s magnet and its associated frequency At present the chamber can accommodate nothing larger than Cats or puppies

Professor Janzen is applying for assistance to increase the chamber s size by SO per cent which he says will accommodate most pets requirshying MRI diagnostic ervices ll1d render better MRI images through the usc of hight[ frequencies

By O wen Roberts Office of Research

OfCanadian universities offering veterinary and animal science programs Guelph is first to have magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) a non-surgical radiation-free techshynology that offers new levels of diagnostic information

The S13-million MRl faCility under the direction of Professor Ed Janzen Chemistry and Biochemistry is located in the Department of Bioshymedical Sciences It was assembled with University funds contributed by ove OAC CBS and CPS

Like x-rays or ultrasound MRr Jets researchers look inside the body without us ing surgery But similarshyities srop there

Whereas x-rays involve low-level radiation and are essentially snapshyshots of dense matter such as bone MRl pictures are obtained through the usc of harmless magnetism by recording how the bodys hydrogens align in the presence of a magnetic field produced by the MRI unit This alignment can be translated into unprecedented pictures of areas like rhe hrain heart or lungs shywherever there is soft t issue or fat which has high concentrations of hydrogens

Like MRI ultrasound offers more than pictures of bone but ultrashysound technology cannot provide the detail ohvious in MRI images By using a sensor that can be pinshypointed anywhere along the axis of an animal placed inside a magnetic chamber magnetic resonance imagshying can isolate and depict extremely thin slices of the subject Tissue and fat appear as distinctly different bright areas in the MRI image

Research projects direltled by Professors Janzen Tammy Bray Nutritiona l Sciences and Fred Braller Chemistry and Biochemistry are already under way at the MRI facility The first series involves rats as models fo r liver and lung diseases including the effect on the liver of alcohol and toxic chemicals like chlorocarbons found in dryshycleaning fluids and the influence of mineral deficient dieb on the lung

The availahility of the MRI unit means the progre~s of diseases can be studied without having to ellthanshyize anima ls or conduct inva -ive surgery

Prafes or Janzen says MR[ will become an important tool for enhancing animal research and diagnostic work at the Univers ity The procedures we are develuping will advance the welfare of animals

Convemional illemificaliol1 which involve~ culturing hacteria from the palients blood or sputum takes a least 12 hours Profe~sor Lams kit reduces the test period to Jess than five minutes

Tbe kit consists of 17 kinds of

monoclonal amibodies produced from clones of antibody-producing ce lls spec ific to each strain o f bacterium Ind ividual ant ibodies are attrdcted 10 their own specific bacshyterium where they settle in clumps As well ant ibodies from the kit can be attached 10 chemicals that will flouresce under ult raviolet light

THE GEORGE MORRIS CENTRE I t all staned with a gleaming red sports car and a man of vision

When George Morri~ retired farmer and long-time fri end of the University of Guelph decided morc than two years ago to donate a Corvette to the University his gesture grew into a unique fund-raising project for The Campaign The car was grand prize in a draw held at Homecoming 87

George wanted proceeds from the draw to be lIsed for the bettershyment of agriculture in this country Agriculture is an industry [ should help because I know more about it than anything else he reasoned

Now Georgc is secing his drcarrl come true At a March press confershyence it was announced that a proshyject to establish The George orris Centre at the University of Guelph is officially underway and that Dr Larry Martin has been appointed acting director of the Centre This agricultural think tank will develop policies and programs to

maximize opportunities for Canadian producers and processors and ensure the viability and profitability of Canadian agriculture

The Cenrre will be people rather than bricks and mortar The heart of the Centre will be two outstandshying faculty spec ialists - one in policy development and the other in market development and tride The Centre will also accommodate five or six graduate students who w ill conrribute to research and gain a comprehensive progressive outlook on agriculture and the future

To establish and maintain the Cent re a permanenr endowment of S2 5 million is needed Income from the endowment will provide salaries for the two specialists and pay administrative costs The endowment income wi ll also assist (he graduate students and help fund conferences through which the Centres findings will be commun ishycated to a broad audience

While much money remains to be

rai~ed funding for the Centres establishment is off to a healthy start Donors range from individuals like George Morris next -door neighbor Bob Skipper OAC 51 to multi -national corporations like James Richardson amp Sons Ltd of Winnipeg Ralston Purina Canada Inc and Ciha-Geigy Canada Ltd

The Centres concept is being whole-heartedl) supported across the country by those involved in agricultllre and concerned about its future Among the earliest supporters were the Ontario Cattlemens Assoshy iation and the Ontario Pork Board

OAC Dean Freeman McEwen chair of the Centres steering committee says We have the reshysources and illlelligence to compete in world markets more fully than ever before We need an agricultural policy to do jt and we need both

nd of the country pulling together

Stan Wilson past presideOl Canadian Canlemens Association says Canadian agricult ure must be internationally competitive to

survive That requirn sound policy thinking and polic) development The George Morris Centre will proshyvide a forum for the development of such policies

Dr Morris (Moe) Freeman Genetr Manager Semex Canada and a member of the Cen tres steering committee says Long -range planning is absolutely crucial for the future of Canadian agriculture and the George Morris Celllre is a step in the right direction

The George Morris Centre will be a fitting tribute to the man who inspired it George has been a farmer since he was 14 He i~ wellshyknown for his progres~ive att itude and contributions to the agricultural industry He has received centennial medals from both OAC and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food for these contributions

A founding member of the OnGlfiO Beef Improvement Association a member of the Ontario Grain Corn

George Morris

Council and past president of both the Canadian and Ontario Cattle shymen s Associations George ha~ been a leader in agriculture for many decades I-Il operated a 500-acre beef feedlot ncar Merlin Omario and for 20 years was in the wholesale butcher business

GeorgI is an innovative forwardshythinking individual says Marilyn Robinson deelopment officer D partment of Alumni Affairs and Development and a member of the George Morri s Centre ~teering

commit tee Ill not only dreamed up the idea for the Centre he made a substantial personal commitment to its establishment anu is encourshyaging others to suppOrt it

If you would like additional information about the Centre contad Marilyn Robinson at Alumni House l niversity of Guelph N1(3 2W1 (519) 82lt+--1120 ext 6)-i2

NEW RECEIPT PROCEDURE

A new procedure for issuing campaign donation receipts has been implemented in the Department of Alumni Affairs and Development

Previously if a donor gave three or more donalions annua ll y a separate receipt would be issued for each donation Now a single receipt will bt issued for all donations made by a donor in one year

This meam that a single receipt for all a donor s contributions in the ]989 calendar year will be mailed early in 1990 in time for tax declaration

This new procedure will simpli fy the donor s tax receipt records and be more efficient for the University

UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH A ONE-STOP CONFERENCE CENTRE

What do tht Toronto Argonauts Gtneral Electric the Salvation Army and the Canadian Association of Physicists have in common

All have used the facililie~ and services provided by the nivers ity of Guelph Conference Office

This year from April to August more than 80 groups rJnging in size from 20 to 2000 will make full use of the University s physical and human resources for everything from sport~ training camps to com shypany workshop middot and academic ~ymposia

Seventy per cent of the groups using the conference services return on an annual basis Conference tanager ancy McPherson thinks

there are two main reasons fo r this One is the attractive and centr lly located campus Although we are in a city and close to Toronto there is a coumry atmosphere here Ptople find the trce~ and landscaping appeal shying It is a refreshing environmeOl

Gary Nadalin Assistant Director for Central Reservations and Confershyences agrees We offer an academic sening combined with informality This ambiance appeals in particular to adults involved in continuing education programs Junior and middle managers whose companies send them here for training pro shygrms get a real sense of going back to school in a relaxed atmosphere

The other main reason fo r repeat business is the one-stop shopping service the Conference Office pro shyvidemiddot Office staff co-ordinate all support services required by each client - accommodation meals meet ing space audio visual equip shyment special set-ups exhibit areas wine and cheese receptions regis shytration coffee breaks athletics facilities and so on Our job is to make it as easy as po middotsible for the client who has to organize a confershyence explains ancy

Each summer Nancy hires five students to act as full-lime confer shyence co-ordinators Each co-ordinator

Nancy McPhermiddotson and Gary Nadalin of the Conference Office

is assigned a specific number o f conference groups and must ensure these groups needs are met Co shyordinators live in residence and arc on ca ll 24 hours a day while they have a group on campus

We are -ienmiddotice-oriented and try LO provide the best possible strvice for our clients explains Gary He also nOfes the important public relashytions role his office plays Often we are the only contact a delegate has with this l niversity and we wam to give a good impression

For youngsters who attend sports camps or 4-H work~hops on campus the liaison aspec t becomes important as welL 1 often arrange campus LOurs for these groups says Nancy Teenagers may decide LO attend this Un iversity based on previous experience here If they fee l comfortab le they may want to

come back Aside from the public relations

and liaison roles the Conference Office plays its main mandate is to

generate additional revenue for the Department of Residences and Food Services to keep student residence and food service fee increases to a minimum It keeps porters mainshytenance people and food service personnel employed year round as well

There is also a pin-off benefit for the cOOlmunity-at-large since we bring thousands of viitors to Guelph who spend convention dollars in the city explains Gary

Conference hu-iness is presently restricted by the number of large meeting rooms available on campus but Gary says there is growth potential for those groups which just require beds We have 4000 residence beds so groups that need hostel service without meeting rooms arc on the increase

MASSEY COFFEE SHOP

REUNION PLANNED

T he Massey Hall coffee shop may not be one of the reasons studel1ls choose to attend the niversity of Guelph but by the time they grad shyuate it is often among their fo ndest memories of campus life

The coffee shop was eswblished in the 1950s and has gone through several changcs over the years At one time or another it feat ured various forms o f entertainment in shycluding juke box pinball machines and movies These are gone now but the shops plt pularity remai ns

A group of students recently polled at the shop gave a variety of reasons for this popularity It s the oatmeal muffins said one 0 its the scones argued another Its the friend ly staff someone else spoke up Others com mented on the homey relaxed atmosphere and great prices

Barbara Buczek manager of the shop says the staffs friend li nes~ may be due to the mother instinct She explains A lot o f our students dont get home often so we like to make them feel at home when they come in here

A few alumni poUed think its the Danish pastries that make the shop great Janet Land Arts 80 now a p rofessional actress recalls The high light of my week was Monday morning drama classes Wed start with co ffee and those delic io us Danishes from Massey Hall and then run through our exercises

Richard Buck OAC 76A recalls sharing Danishes in the shop w ith his wife Barbara Brandon Arts 77 They were just too big for o ne person [0 eat alone he explains

Sarah (Wyatt) Nadalin Arts 82 remembers the shop as a way to get acquainted with studems in other areas of study You ended up w it h friends you wouldnt have known

vlaster of Landscape Architecture studellts (Cockllise fl011I left) inn Sakkal Malcolm Gordoll William Wright Vickie Morris Cbris fiart Clnd Heather Speakman tOCIst the Massey Hall coffee shop

otherwise They werc your coffee shop friends It was also a great place [0 talk informally with your professors

Professor Richard Phidd Political Studies agrees There is no sense of h iemrchy in the coffee shop so a more informal communication process can take place between facu lt y and students

Professor Phidd says the homey environmem and small wblc groupshyings b ring people closer together You meet peoplc on a personal level There is a ense of community

and a sense of tradition Its a re latively unique thing on campus I oftm take viSitors there just for the differen t environment

If you feel nostalgic for the Massey coffee shop you can take part in a rcunion there during Alumn i Week shyend Saturday June 17 from I to -i pm Just fill in the Alumni Weekend registration form in this issue of the Guelph Alunlllils to let us know you will ttke pan Come back to campus and reminisce with your old friends over ome de licious Masey muffin

FACS GRAD MONITORS CHILDRENS NUTRITION IN AFRICA

By Christopher Nea l cusa Communicat ions O fficer

Josie Vespa FACS S3 is up mos t mornings at dawn for a day trip to one of 12 villages in the northern province of Sierra Leone a tropica l forest nation of four mill ion in West Africa She has been a CUSO coshyoperant there since 1986

She begins her days by meeting with tbe village chief to give greetings and tell him we (she bas an African partner) want to weigh the young ch ildren to see how they are growing

He responds by dispatching the town crier who dashes about the mud houses announcing her arrival When the village women gather Josie weighs their children leads them in songs about nutrition or demonstrates preparation of food suitable for children starting to eat solids

It is important work in the Bombali District as josie has found up to one-quarter of the children under five are malnourished This stunts their growth impairs their mental development and leaves them prone to widespread diarrhea and malaria

Josie and her colleagues have also found most malnourishment cases arise in (he ~econd half of a baby s first year when solid foods are added to breastmilk They are invesshytigat ing exactly what cau cs the growth faltering in order to fomlulate health education strategies that will become part of a national nutrition system developed by a committee of nutritionists from across Sierra Leone

Before her contract in Sierra Leone Josie had a CUSO posting at a igerian school for the hearingshyimpaired and blind At the same time she gave health talks to pregshynant women and mothers of small chilLiren

Between that posting and her present one Josie returned to

JOSie Vespa FACS 83 consulting leitb lillagers ill Sierra Leone

Canada for a )lar of study in obstcshytries child care communicable diseases and health care delivery at Seneca College North York While the Seneca courses and her previous nutrit ion degree from Guelph were useful Jo~ie sap the starling point to cont ribute to an imprmeOleot in the health of West African villagcr~ was going into their homes and eating thdr foocl

Health care workers are fooling themsdves if they think they can understand nutrition problems just by obserYing them in the clinic conshysultation rOom she says

In Sierra Leone where CUSO has 15 co-opcrants Josie hclicyes she has helped developmcnt take place n small communities families tOok the firs t step in trying to solve child health problems she says And develupment took place at a national level when the government decided to institute nutrition activities

Josie is now training a Sierra Leonian for the nutrition ist s job in B0111hal i District All hough Ii fc in the villag of Binkolo has been without luxuries like transportation and toothpaste Josie says she will miss the illagcr~ when ~he leave

Oyer 60000 Canadians contribute every year to CUSO b donating money time or skills founded in 1961 CUSO has ~enL 9000 co-opershyants abroaLi and now funds more than 250 projectgt in developing countries

BIBLIOGRAPHY TO BENEFIT

MANY University school and community libraries in Wellington County hae been presented with a new biblioshygraphy of historical books brochures and essays about the region

Guelpb and Wellington COlIII) A Bibliography 0 Settlement and Development since 1800 wil l beneshyfit local teachers s tudent~ genealoshygiSts archivists municipa l offices museum staff and heritage groups

The 350-page volume wa~ comshypiled as the first step in a UniverSity o f Guelph research effort to study the Upper Grand Valley region be Guelph Regional Project was inishyt iated by Professor Gil Stelter History who chairs a faculL y group interested in re earch on the regio n The project has been funded since 1987 by a Un ie rsi t y research excdlcnce gram

The special ed ition prese11led to

county libraries schools museums and archives was made poss ible by a donation from John Sutherland and Sons Ltd of Guelph which provided funds for hinding This gift was crucial in making the bibliography aailable promptly to

users in the wider comm uni ty say~ Professor Elizabeth Bloomfield Geography who co -ordinated product ion Mary Su therland says the donation by her familys com shypany was modest compared to the Univer ity s efforts

The Guelph Regional Project will n xt publish a compilation o f pershysonal and fa m ily data based on the biographies in the 1906 Wellington County atlas and a volume of maps illustrating territoria l orgll1ization of the region since 1800

In addi t ion to providing an inforshymatio n base of primary and seconshydary source materials on Vellington County rhe Guelph Regional Project represents a model approach to the study of local and regional history that might be usefll l in other regions

NEW DIAGNOSTIC FACILITY HEIGHTENS ANIMAL WELFARE

GueljJh researchers can take an inside Look at Lille pLants and animals thanks to a new magnetic resonance imaging facility in the Department ofBiomedical Sciences Above in front of the facilitys magnetic cha mber are facility opershyliars Rheal Towner and Uwe Oehler

by enabling veterinarians to bener and more quickly diagnose problems like neurological dbease he says Some of the problems studied here could be models for human diseases and affl ictions as wel l

The limiting factor in the facility s ability to conduct research and offer diagnosis is the size of the unit s magnet and its associated frequency At present the chamber can accommodate nothing larger than Cats or puppies

Professor Janzen is applying for assistance to increase the chamber s size by SO per cent which he says will accommodate most pets requirshying MRI diagnostic ervices ll1d render better MRI images through the usc of hight[ frequencies

By O wen Roberts Office of Research

OfCanadian universities offering veterinary and animal science programs Guelph is first to have magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) a non-surgical radiation-free techshynology that offers new levels of diagnostic information

The S13-million MRl faCility under the direction of Professor Ed Janzen Chemistry and Biochemistry is located in the Department of Bioshymedical Sciences It was assembled with University funds contributed by ove OAC CBS and CPS

Like x-rays or ultrasound MRr Jets researchers look inside the body without us ing surgery But similarshyities srop there

Whereas x-rays involve low-level radiation and are essentially snapshyshots of dense matter such as bone MRl pictures are obtained through the usc of harmless magnetism by recording how the bodys hydrogens align in the presence of a magnetic field produced by the MRI unit This alignment can be translated into unprecedented pictures of areas like rhe hrain heart or lungs shywherever there is soft t issue or fat which has high concentrations of hydrogens

Like MRI ultrasound offers more than pictures of bone but ultrashysound technology cannot provide the detail ohvious in MRI images By using a sensor that can be pinshypointed anywhere along the axis of an animal placed inside a magnetic chamber magnetic resonance imagshying can isolate and depict extremely thin slices of the subject Tissue and fat appear as distinctly different bright areas in the MRI image

Research projects direltled by Professors Janzen Tammy Bray Nutritiona l Sciences and Fred Braller Chemistry and Biochemistry are already under way at the MRI facility The first series involves rats as models fo r liver and lung diseases including the effect on the liver of alcohol and toxic chemicals like chlorocarbons found in dryshycleaning fluids and the influence of mineral deficient dieb on the lung

The availahility of the MRI unit means the progre~s of diseases can be studied without having to ellthanshyize anima ls or conduct inva -ive surgery

Prafes or Janzen says MR[ will become an important tool for enhancing animal research and diagnostic work at the Univers ity The procedures we are develuping will advance the welfare of animals

DEADLY BACTERIA QUICKLY IDENTIFIED WITH NEW KIT

By Owen Roberts Office of Research

A research team Jed by Micro shybiology Professor Joseph Lam has lIevelopnl a lIiagnostic kit that can quickly idcntify a bacteria gro up known to cause fatal infections in some hospita l patients in a m atte r of days The kit is composell o f monoclonal antibodies that can illentifyall 1- straim of the dead ly baClerium Pseudolllollas aerugillOsa

Typicall y Pseudomonas i nade~

antibiotics lI1d antiseptics Spcell is imperative in identifying the hacteriums presence to prevent its spreading

Convemional illemificaliol1 which involve~ culturing hacteria from the palients blood or sputum takes a least 12 hours Profe~sor Lams kit reduces the test period to Jess than five minutes

Tbe kit consists of 17 kinds of

monoclonal amibodies produced from clones of antibody-producing ce lls spec ific to each strain o f bacterium Ind ividual ant ibodies are attrdcted 10 their own specific bacshyterium where they settle in clumps As well ant ibodies from the kit can be attached 10 chemicals that will flouresce under ult raviolet light

By observing either the clumping reaction between a patients blood or sputum sample and the various ant ibodies from the kit or studying the sample under the microscope medical personnel ca n determine the strain of bacterium

The kit 10 retail for about $500 can be used to analyse up to sao samples The UnivelSity is negotiating marketing rights fo r conuncrciaJ disshytribution w ith a private company

THE GEORGE MORRIS CENTRE I t all staned with a gleaming red sports car and a man of vision

When George Morri~ retired farmer and long-time fri end of the University of Guelph decided morc than two years ago to donate a Corvette to the University his gesture grew into a unique fund-raising project for The Campaign The car was grand prize in a draw held at Homecoming 87

George wanted proceeds from the draw to be lIsed for the bettershyment of agriculture in this country Agriculture is an industry [ should help because I know more about it than anything else he reasoned

Now Georgc is secing his drcarrl come true At a March press confershyence it was announced that a proshyject to establish The George orris Centre at the University of Guelph is officially underway and that Dr Larry Martin has been appointed acting director of the Centre This agricultural think tank will develop policies and programs to

maximize opportunities for Canadian producers and processors and ensure the viability and profitability of Canadian agriculture

The Cenrre will be people rather than bricks and mortar The heart of the Centre will be two outstandshying faculty spec ialists - one in policy development and the other in market development and tride The Centre will also accommodate five or six graduate students who w ill conrribute to research and gain a comprehensive progressive outlook on agriculture and the future

To establish and maintain the Cent re a permanenr endowment of S2 5 million is needed Income from the endowment will provide salaries for the two specialists and pay administrative costs The endowment income wi ll also assist (he graduate students and help fund conferences through which the Centres findings will be commun ishycated to a broad audience

While much money remains to be

rai~ed funding for the Centres establishment is off to a healthy start Donors range from individuals like George Morris next -door neighbor Bob Skipper OAC 51 to multi -national corporations like James Richardson amp Sons Ltd of Winnipeg Ralston Purina Canada Inc and Ciha-Geigy Canada Ltd

The Centres concept is being whole-heartedl) supported across the country by those involved in agricultllre and concerned about its future Among the earliest supporters were the Ontario Cattlemens Assoshy iation and the Ontario Pork Board

OAC Dean Freeman McEwen chair of the Centres steering committee says We have the reshysources and illlelligence to compete in world markets more fully than ever before We need an agricultural policy to do jt and we need both

nd of the country pulling together

Stan Wilson past presideOl Canadian Canlemens Association says Canadian agricult ure must be internationally competitive to

survive That requirn sound policy thinking and polic) development The George Morris Centre will proshyvide a forum for the development of such policies

Dr Morris (Moe) Freeman Genetr Manager Semex Canada and a member of the Cen tres steering committee says Long -range planning is absolutely crucial for the future of Canadian agriculture and the George Morris Celllre is a step in the right direction

The George Morris Centre will be a fitting tribute to the man who inspired it George has been a farmer since he was 14 He i~ wellshyknown for his progres~ive att itude and contributions to the agricultural industry He has received centennial medals from both OAC and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food for these contributions

A founding member of the OnGlfiO Beef Improvement Association a member of the Ontario Grain Corn

George Morris

Council and past president of both the Canadian and Ontario Cattle shymen s Associations George ha~ been a leader in agriculture for many decades I-Il operated a 500-acre beef feedlot ncar Merlin Omario and for 20 years was in the wholesale butcher business

GeorgI is an innovative forwardshythinking individual says Marilyn Robinson deelopment officer D partment of Alumni Affairs and Development and a member of the George Morri s Centre ~teering

commit tee Ill not only dreamed up the idea for the Centre he made a substantial personal commitment to its establishment anu is encourshyaging others to suppOrt it

If you would like additional information about the Centre contad Marilyn Robinson at Alumni House l niversity of Guelph N1(3 2W1 (519) 82lt+--1120 ext 6)-i2

NEW RECEIPT PROCEDURE

A new procedure for issuing campaign donation receipts has been implemented in the Department of Alumni Affairs and Development

Previously if a donor gave three or more donalions annua ll y a separate receipt would be issued for each donation Now a single receipt will bt issued for all donations made by a donor in one year

This meam that a single receipt for all a donor s contributions in the ]989 calendar year will be mailed early in 1990 in time for tax declaration

This new procedure will simpli fy the donor s tax receipt records and be more efficient for the University

UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH A ONE-STOP CONFERENCE CENTRE

What do tht Toronto Argonauts Gtneral Electric the Salvation Army and the Canadian Association of Physicists have in common

All have used the facililie~ and services provided by the nivers ity of Guelph Conference Office

This year from April to August more than 80 groups rJnging in size from 20 to 2000 will make full use of the University s physical and human resources for everything from sport~ training camps to com shypany workshop middot and academic ~ymposia

Seventy per cent of the groups using the conference services return on an annual basis Conference tanager ancy McPherson thinks

there are two main reasons fo r this One is the attractive and centr lly located campus Although we are in a city and close to Toronto there is a coumry atmosphere here Ptople find the trce~ and landscaping appeal shying It is a refreshing environmeOl

Gary Nadalin Assistant Director for Central Reservations and Confershyences agrees We offer an academic sening combined with informality This ambiance appeals in particular to adults involved in continuing education programs Junior and middle managers whose companies send them here for training pro shygrms get a real sense of going back to school in a relaxed atmosphere

The other main reason fo r repeat business is the one-stop shopping service the Conference Office pro shyvidemiddot Office staff co-ordinate all support services required by each client - accommodation meals meet ing space audio visual equip shyment special set-ups exhibit areas wine and cheese receptions regis shytration coffee breaks athletics facilities and so on Our job is to make it as easy as po middotsible for the client who has to organize a confershyence explains ancy

Each summer Nancy hires five students to act as full-lime confer shyence co-ordinators Each co-ordinator

Nancy McPhermiddotson and Gary Nadalin of the Conference Office

is assigned a specific number o f conference groups and must ensure these groups needs are met Co shyordinators live in residence and arc on ca ll 24 hours a day while they have a group on campus

We are -ienmiddotice-oriented and try LO provide the best possible strvice for our clients explains Gary He also nOfes the important public relashytions role his office plays Often we are the only contact a delegate has with this l niversity and we wam to give a good impression

For youngsters who attend sports camps or 4-H work~hops on campus the liaison aspec t becomes important as welL 1 often arrange campus LOurs for these groups says Nancy Teenagers may decide LO attend this Un iversity based on previous experience here If they fee l comfortab le they may want to

come back Aside from the public relations

and liaison roles the Conference Office plays its main mandate is to

generate additional revenue for the Department of Residences and Food Services to keep student residence and food service fee increases to a minimum It keeps porters mainshytenance people and food service personnel employed year round as well

There is also a pin-off benefit for the cOOlmunity-at-large since we bring thousands of viitors to Guelph who spend convention dollars in the city explains Gary

Conference hu-iness is presently restricted by the number of large meeting rooms available on campus but Gary says there is growth potential for those groups which just require beds We have 4000 residence beds so groups that need hostel service without meeting rooms arc on the increase

MASSEY COFFEE SHOP

REUNION PLANNED

T he Massey Hall coffee shop may not be one of the reasons studel1ls choose to attend the niversity of Guelph but by the time they grad shyuate it is often among their fo ndest memories of campus life

The coffee shop was eswblished in the 1950s and has gone through several changcs over the years At one time or another it feat ured various forms o f entertainment in shycluding juke box pinball machines and movies These are gone now but the shops plt pularity remai ns

A group of students recently polled at the shop gave a variety of reasons for this popularity It s the oatmeal muffins said one 0 its the scones argued another Its the friend ly staff someone else spoke up Others com mented on the homey relaxed atmosphere and great prices

Barbara Buczek manager of the shop says the staffs friend li nes~ may be due to the mother instinct She explains A lot o f our students dont get home often so we like to make them feel at home when they come in here

A few alumni poUed think its the Danish pastries that make the shop great Janet Land Arts 80 now a p rofessional actress recalls The high light of my week was Monday morning drama classes Wed start with co ffee and those delic io us Danishes from Massey Hall and then run through our exercises

Richard Buck OAC 76A recalls sharing Danishes in the shop w ith his wife Barbara Brandon Arts 77 They were just too big for o ne person [0 eat alone he explains

Sarah (Wyatt) Nadalin Arts 82 remembers the shop as a way to get acquainted with studems in other areas of study You ended up w it h friends you wouldnt have known

vlaster of Landscape Architecture studellts (Cockllise fl011I left) inn Sakkal Malcolm Gordoll William Wright Vickie Morris Cbris fiart Clnd Heather Speakman tOCIst the Massey Hall coffee shop

otherwise They werc your coffee shop friends It was also a great place [0 talk informally with your professors

Professor Richard Phidd Political Studies agrees There is no sense of h iemrchy in the coffee shop so a more informal communication process can take place between facu lt y and students

Professor Phidd says the homey environmem and small wblc groupshyings b ring people closer together You meet peoplc on a personal level There is a ense of community

and a sense of tradition Its a re latively unique thing on campus I oftm take viSitors there just for the differen t environment

If you feel nostalgic for the Massey coffee shop you can take part in a rcunion there during Alumn i Week shyend Saturday June 17 from I to -i pm Just fill in the Alumni Weekend registration form in this issue of the Guelph Alunlllils to let us know you will ttke pan Come back to campus and reminisce with your old friends over ome de licious Masey muffin

FACS GRAD MONITORS CHILDRENS NUTRITION IN AFRICA

By Christopher Nea l cusa Communicat ions O fficer

Josie Vespa FACS S3 is up mos t mornings at dawn for a day trip to one of 12 villages in the northern province of Sierra Leone a tropica l forest nation of four mill ion in West Africa She has been a CUSO coshyoperant there since 1986

She begins her days by meeting with tbe village chief to give greetings and tell him we (she bas an African partner) want to weigh the young ch ildren to see how they are growing

He responds by dispatching the town crier who dashes about the mud houses announcing her arrival When the village women gather Josie weighs their children leads them in songs about nutrition or demonstrates preparation of food suitable for children starting to eat solids

It is important work in the Bombali District as josie has found up to one-quarter of the children under five are malnourished This stunts their growth impairs their mental development and leaves them prone to widespread diarrhea and malaria

Josie and her colleagues have also found most malnourishment cases arise in (he ~econd half of a baby s first year when solid foods are added to breastmilk They are invesshytigat ing exactly what cau cs the growth faltering in order to fomlulate health education strategies that will become part of a national nutrition system developed by a committee of nutritionists from across Sierra Leone

Before her contract in Sierra Leone Josie had a CUSO posting at a igerian school for the hearingshyimpaired and blind At the same time she gave health talks to pregshynant women and mothers of small chilLiren

Between that posting and her present one Josie returned to

JOSie Vespa FACS 83 consulting leitb lillagers ill Sierra Leone

Health care workers are fooling themsdves if they think they can understand nutrition problems just by obserYing them in the clinic conshysultation rOom she says

In Sierra Leone where CUSO has 15 co-opcrants Josie hclicyes she has helped developmcnt take place n small communities families tOok the firs t step in trying to solve child health problems she says And develupment took place at a national level when the government decided to institute nutrition activities

Josie is now training a Sierra Leonian for the nutrition ist s job in B0111hal i District All hough Ii fc in the villag of Binkolo has been without luxuries like transportation and toothpaste Josie says she will miss the illagcr~ when ~he leave

Oyer 60000 Canadians contribute every year to CUSO b donating money time or skills founded in 1961 CUSO has ~enL 9000 co-opershyants abroaLi and now funds more than 250 projectgt in developing countries

BIBLIOGRAPHY TO BENEFIT

MANY University school and community libraries in Wellington County hae been presented with a new biblioshygraphy of historical books brochures and essays about the region

Guelpb and Wellington COlIII) A Bibliography 0 Settlement and Development since 1800 wil l beneshyfit local teachers s tudent~ genealoshygiSts archivists municipa l offices museum staff and heritage groups

The 350-page volume wa~ comshypiled as the first step in a UniverSity o f Guelph research effort to study the Upper Grand Valley region be Guelph Regional Project was inishyt iated by Professor Gil Stelter History who chairs a faculL y group interested in re earch on the regio n The project has been funded since 1987 by a Un ie rsi t y research excdlcnce gram

The special ed ition prese11led to

county libraries schools museums and archives was made poss ible by a donation from John Sutherland and Sons Ltd of Guelph which provided funds for hinding This gift was crucial in making the bibliography aailable promptly to

users in the wider comm uni ty say~ Professor Elizabeth Bloomfield Geography who co -ordinated product ion Mary Su therland says the donation by her familys com shypany was modest compared to the Univer ity s efforts

The Guelph Regional Project will n xt publish a compilation o f pershysonal and fa m ily data based on the biographies in the 1906 Wellington County atlas and a volume of maps illustrating territoria l orgll1ization of the region since 1800

In addi t ion to providing an inforshymatio n base of primary and seconshydary source materials on Vellington County rhe Guelph Regional Project represents a model approach to the study of local and regional history that might be usefll l in other regions

NEW DIAGNOSTIC FACILITY HEIGHTENS ANIMAL WELFARE

GueljJh researchers can take an inside Look at Lille pLants and animals thanks to a new magnetic resonance imaging facility in the Department ofBiomedical Sciences Above in front of the facilitys magnetic cha mber are facility opershyliars Rheal Towner and Uwe Oehler

by enabling veterinarians to bener and more quickly diagnose problems like neurological dbease he says Some of the problems studied here could be models for human diseases and affl ictions as wel l

The limiting factor in the facility s ability to conduct research and offer diagnosis is the size of the unit s magnet and its associated frequency At present the chamber can accommodate nothing larger than Cats or puppies

Professor Janzen is applying for assistance to increase the chamber s size by SO per cent which he says will accommodate most pets requirshying MRI diagnostic ervices ll1d render better MRI images through the usc of hight[ frequencies

By O wen Roberts Office of Research

OfCanadian universities offering veterinary and animal science programs Guelph is first to have magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) a non-surgical radiation-free techshynology that offers new levels of diagnostic information

The S13-million MRl faCility under the direction of Professor Ed Janzen Chemistry and Biochemistry is located in the Department of Bioshymedical Sciences It was assembled with University funds contributed by ove OAC CBS and CPS

Like x-rays or ultrasound MRr Jets researchers look inside the body without us ing surgery But similarshyities srop there

Whereas x-rays involve low-level radiation and are essentially snapshyshots of dense matter such as bone MRl pictures are obtained through the usc of harmless magnetism by recording how the bodys hydrogens align in the presence of a magnetic field produced by the MRI unit This alignment can be translated into unprecedented pictures of areas like rhe hrain heart or lungs shywherever there is soft t issue or fat which has high concentrations of hydrogens

Like MRI ultrasound offers more than pictures of bone but ultrashysound technology cannot provide the detail ohvious in MRI images By using a sensor that can be pinshypointed anywhere along the axis of an animal placed inside a magnetic chamber magnetic resonance imagshying can isolate and depict extremely thin slices of the subject Tissue and fat appear as distinctly different bright areas in the MRI image

Research projects direltled by Professors Janzen Tammy Bray Nutritiona l Sciences and Fred Braller Chemistry and Biochemistry are already under way at the MRI facility The first series involves rats as models fo r liver and lung diseases including the effect on the liver of alcohol and toxic chemicals like chlorocarbons found in dryshycleaning fluids and the influence of mineral deficient dieb on the lung

The availahility of the MRI unit means the progre~s of diseases can be studied without having to ellthanshyize anima ls or conduct inva -ive surgery

Prafes or Janzen says MR[ will become an important tool for enhancing animal research and diagnostic work at the Univers ity The procedures we are develuping will advance the welfare of animals

Convemional illemificaliol1 which involve~ culturing hacteria from the palients blood or sputum takes a least 12 hours Profe~sor Lams kit reduces the test period to Jess than five minutes

Tbe kit consists of 17 kinds of

monoclonal amibodies produced from clones of antibody-producing ce lls spec ific to each strain o f bacterium Ind ividual ant ibodies are attrdcted 10 their own specific bacshyterium where they settle in clumps As well ant ibodies from the kit can be attached 10 chemicals that will flouresce under ult raviolet light

THE GEORGE MORRIS CENTRE I t all staned with a gleaming red sports car and a man of vision

When George Morri~ retired farmer and long-time fri end of the University of Guelph decided morc than two years ago to donate a Corvette to the University his gesture grew into a unique fund-raising project for The Campaign The car was grand prize in a draw held at Homecoming 87

George wanted proceeds from the draw to be lIsed for the bettershyment of agriculture in this country Agriculture is an industry [ should help because I know more about it than anything else he reasoned

Now Georgc is secing his drcarrl come true At a March press confershyence it was announced that a proshyject to establish The George orris Centre at the University of Guelph is officially underway and that Dr Larry Martin has been appointed acting director of the Centre This agricultural think tank will develop policies and programs to

maximize opportunities for Canadian producers and processors and ensure the viability and profitability of Canadian agriculture

The Cenrre will be people rather than bricks and mortar The heart of the Centre will be two outstandshying faculty spec ialists - one in policy development and the other in market development and tride The Centre will also accommodate five or six graduate students who w ill conrribute to research and gain a comprehensive progressive outlook on agriculture and the future

To establish and maintain the Cent re a permanenr endowment of S2 5 million is needed Income from the endowment will provide salaries for the two specialists and pay administrative costs The endowment income wi ll also assist (he graduate students and help fund conferences through which the Centres findings will be commun ishycated to a broad audience

While much money remains to be

rai~ed funding for the Centres establishment is off to a healthy start Donors range from individuals like George Morris next -door neighbor Bob Skipper OAC 51 to multi -national corporations like James Richardson amp Sons Ltd of Winnipeg Ralston Purina Canada Inc and Ciha-Geigy Canada Ltd

The Centres concept is being whole-heartedl) supported across the country by those involved in agricultllre and concerned about its future Among the earliest supporters were the Ontario Cattlemens Assoshy iation and the Ontario Pork Board

OAC Dean Freeman McEwen chair of the Centres steering committee says We have the reshysources and illlelligence to compete in world markets more fully than ever before We need an agricultural policy to do jt and we need both

nd of the country pulling together

Stan Wilson past presideOl Canadian Canlemens Association says Canadian agricult ure must be internationally competitive to

survive That requirn sound policy thinking and polic) development The George Morris Centre will proshyvide a forum for the development of such policies

Dr Morris (Moe) Freeman Genetr Manager Semex Canada and a member of the Cen tres steering committee says Long -range planning is absolutely crucial for the future of Canadian agriculture and the George Morris Celllre is a step in the right direction

The George Morris Centre will be a fitting tribute to the man who inspired it George has been a farmer since he was 14 He i~ wellshyknown for his progres~ive att itude and contributions to the agricultural industry He has received centennial medals from both OAC and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food for these contributions

A founding member of the OnGlfiO Beef Improvement Association a member of the Ontario Grain Corn

George Morris

Council and past president of both the Canadian and Ontario Cattle shymen s Associations George ha~ been a leader in agriculture for many decades I-Il operated a 500-acre beef feedlot ncar Merlin Omario and for 20 years was in the wholesale butcher business

GeorgI is an innovative forwardshythinking individual says Marilyn Robinson deelopment officer D partment of Alumni Affairs and Development and a member of the George Morri s Centre ~teering

commit tee Ill not only dreamed up the idea for the Centre he made a substantial personal commitment to its establishment anu is encourshyaging others to suppOrt it

NEW RECEIPT PROCEDURE

A new procedure for issuing campaign donation receipts has been implemented in the Department of Alumni Affairs and Development

Previously if a donor gave three or more donalions annua ll y a separate receipt would be issued for each donation Now a single receipt will bt issued for all donations made by a donor in one year

This meam that a single receipt for all a donor s contributions in the ]989 calendar year will be mailed early in 1990 in time for tax declaration

This new procedure will simpli fy the donor s tax receipt records and be more efficient for the University

UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH A ONE-STOP CONFERENCE CENTRE

What do tht Toronto Argonauts Gtneral Electric the Salvation Army and the Canadian Association of Physicists have in common

All have used the facililie~ and services provided by the nivers ity of Guelph Conference Office

This year from April to August more than 80 groups rJnging in size from 20 to 2000 will make full use of the University s physical and human resources for everything from sport~ training camps to com shypany workshop middot and academic ~ymposia

Seventy per cent of the groups using the conference services return on an annual basis Conference tanager ancy McPherson thinks

there are two main reasons fo r this One is the attractive and centr lly located campus Although we are in a city and close to Toronto there is a coumry atmosphere here Ptople find the trce~ and landscaping appeal shying It is a refreshing environmeOl

Gary Nadalin Assistant Director for Central Reservations and Confershyences agrees We offer an academic sening combined with informality This ambiance appeals in particular to adults involved in continuing education programs Junior and middle managers whose companies send them here for training pro shygrms get a real sense of going back to school in a relaxed atmosphere

The other main reason fo r repeat business is the one-stop shopping service the Conference Office pro shyvidemiddot Office staff co-ordinate all support services required by each client - accommodation meals meet ing space audio visual equip shyment special set-ups exhibit areas wine and cheese receptions regis shytration coffee breaks athletics facilities and so on Our job is to make it as easy as po middotsible for the client who has to organize a confershyence explains ancy

Each summer Nancy hires five students to act as full-lime confer shyence co-ordinators Each co-ordinator

Nancy McPhermiddotson and Gary Nadalin of the Conference Office

is assigned a specific number o f conference groups and must ensure these groups needs are met Co shyordinators live in residence and arc on ca ll 24 hours a day while they have a group on campus

We are -ienmiddotice-oriented and try LO provide the best possible strvice for our clients explains Gary He also nOfes the important public relashytions role his office plays Often we are the only contact a delegate has with this l niversity and we wam to give a good impression

For youngsters who attend sports camps or 4-H work~hops on campus the liaison aspec t becomes important as welL 1 often arrange campus LOurs for these groups says Nancy Teenagers may decide LO attend this Un iversity based on previous experience here If they fee l comfortab le they may want to

come back Aside from the public relations

and liaison roles the Conference Office plays its main mandate is to

generate additional revenue for the Department of Residences and Food Services to keep student residence and food service fee increases to a minimum It keeps porters mainshytenance people and food service personnel employed year round as well

There is also a pin-off benefit for the cOOlmunity-at-large since we bring thousands of viitors to Guelph who spend convention dollars in the city explains Gary

Conference hu-iness is presently restricted by the number of large meeting rooms available on campus but Gary says there is growth potential for those groups which just require beds We have 4000 residence beds so groups that need hostel service without meeting rooms arc on the increase

MASSEY COFFEE SHOP

REUNION PLANNED

T he Massey Hall coffee shop may not be one of the reasons studel1ls choose to attend the niversity of Guelph but by the time they grad shyuate it is often among their fo ndest memories of campus life

The coffee shop was eswblished in the 1950s and has gone through several changcs over the years At one time or another it feat ured various forms o f entertainment in shycluding juke box pinball machines and movies These are gone now but the shops plt pularity remai ns

A group of students recently polled at the shop gave a variety of reasons for this popularity It s the oatmeal muffins said one 0 its the scones argued another Its the friend ly staff someone else spoke up Others com mented on the homey relaxed atmosphere and great prices

Barbara Buczek manager of the shop says the staffs friend li nes~ may be due to the mother instinct She explains A lot o f our students dont get home often so we like to make them feel at home when they come in here

A few alumni poUed think its the Danish pastries that make the shop great Janet Land Arts 80 now a p rofessional actress recalls The high light of my week was Monday morning drama classes Wed start with co ffee and those delic io us Danishes from Massey Hall and then run through our exercises

Richard Buck OAC 76A recalls sharing Danishes in the shop w ith his wife Barbara Brandon Arts 77 They were just too big for o ne person [0 eat alone he explains

Sarah (Wyatt) Nadalin Arts 82 remembers the shop as a way to get acquainted with studems in other areas of study You ended up w it h friends you wouldnt have known

vlaster of Landscape Architecture studellts (Cockllise fl011I left) inn Sakkal Malcolm Gordoll William Wright Vickie Morris Cbris fiart Clnd Heather Speakman tOCIst the Massey Hall coffee shop

otherwise They werc your coffee shop friends It was also a great place [0 talk informally with your professors

Professor Richard Phidd Political Studies agrees There is no sense of h iemrchy in the coffee shop so a more informal communication process can take place between facu lt y and students

Professor Phidd says the homey environmem and small wblc groupshyings b ring people closer together You meet peoplc on a personal level There is a ense of community

and a sense of tradition Its a re latively unique thing on campus I oftm take viSitors there just for the differen t environment

If you feel nostalgic for the Massey coffee shop you can take part in a rcunion there during Alumn i Week shyend Saturday June 17 from I to -i pm Just fill in the Alumni Weekend registration form in this issue of the Guelph Alunlllils to let us know you will ttke pan Come back to campus and reminisce with your old friends over ome de licious Masey muffin

FACS GRAD MONITORS CHILDRENS NUTRITION IN AFRICA

By Christopher Nea l cusa Communicat ions O fficer

Josie Vespa FACS S3 is up mos t mornings at dawn for a day trip to one of 12 villages in the northern province of Sierra Leone a tropica l forest nation of four mill ion in West Africa She has been a CUSO coshyoperant there since 1986

She begins her days by meeting with tbe village chief to give greetings and tell him we (she bas an African partner) want to weigh the young ch ildren to see how they are growing

He responds by dispatching the town crier who dashes about the mud houses announcing her arrival When the village women gather Josie weighs their children leads them in songs about nutrition or demonstrates preparation of food suitable for children starting to eat solids

It is important work in the Bombali District as josie has found up to one-quarter of the children under five are malnourished This stunts their growth impairs their mental development and leaves them prone to widespread diarrhea and malaria

Josie and her colleagues have also found most malnourishment cases arise in (he ~econd half of a baby s first year when solid foods are added to breastmilk They are invesshytigat ing exactly what cau cs the growth faltering in order to fomlulate health education strategies that will become part of a national nutrition system developed by a committee of nutritionists from across Sierra Leone

Before her contract in Sierra Leone Josie had a CUSO posting at a igerian school for the hearingshyimpaired and blind At the same time she gave health talks to pregshynant women and mothers of small chilLiren

Between that posting and her present one Josie returned to

JOSie Vespa FACS 83 consulting leitb lillagers ill Sierra Leone

Canada for a )lar of study in obstcshytries child care communicable diseases and health care delivery at Seneca College North York While the Seneca courses and her previous nutrit ion degree from Guelph were useful Jo~ie sap the starling point to cont ribute to an imprmeOleot in the health of West African villagcr~ was going into their homes and eating thdr foocl

Health care workers are fooling themsdves if they think they can understand nutrition problems just by obserYing them in the clinic conshysultation rOom she says

In Sierra Leone where CUSO has 15 co-opcrants Josie hclicyes she has helped developmcnt take place n small communities families tOok the firs t step in trying to solve child health problems she says And develupment took place at a national level when the government decided to institute nutrition activities

Josie is now training a Sierra Leonian for the nutrition ist s job in B0111hal i District All hough Ii fc in the villag of Binkolo has been without luxuries like transportation and toothpaste Josie says she will miss the illagcr~ when ~he leave

Oyer 60000 Canadians contribute every year to CUSO b donating money time or skills founded in 1961 CUSO has ~enL 9000 co-opershyants abroaLi and now funds more than 250 projectgt in developing countries

BIBLIOGRAPHY TO BENEFIT

MANY University school and community libraries in Wellington County hae been presented with a new biblioshygraphy of historical books brochures and essays about the region

Guelpb and Wellington COlIII) A Bibliography 0 Settlement and Development since 1800 wil l beneshyfit local teachers s tudent~ genealoshygiSts archivists municipa l offices museum staff and heritage groups

The 350-page volume wa~ comshypiled as the first step in a UniverSity o f Guelph research effort to study the Upper Grand Valley region be Guelph Regional Project was inishyt iated by Professor Gil Stelter History who chairs a faculL y group interested in re earch on the regio n The project has been funded since 1987 by a Un ie rsi t y research excdlcnce gram

The special ed ition prese11led to

county libraries schools museums and archives was made poss ible by a donation from John Sutherland and Sons Ltd of Guelph which provided funds for hinding This gift was crucial in making the bibliography aailable promptly to

users in the wider comm uni ty say~ Professor Elizabeth Bloomfield Geography who co -ordinated product ion Mary Su therland says the donation by her familys com shypany was modest compared to the Univer ity s efforts

The Guelph Regional Project will n xt publish a compilation o f pershysonal and fa m ily data based on the biographies in the 1906 Wellington County atlas and a volume of maps illustrating territoria l orgll1ization of the region since 1800

In addi t ion to providing an inforshymatio n base of primary and seconshydary source materials on Vellington County rhe Guelph Regional Project represents a model approach to the study of local and regional history that might be usefll l in other regions

NEW DIAGNOSTIC FACILITY HEIGHTENS ANIMAL WELFARE

GueljJh researchers can take an inside Look at Lille pLants and animals thanks to a new magnetic resonance imaging facility in the Department ofBiomedical Sciences Above in front of the facilitys magnetic cha mber are facility opershyliars Rheal Towner and Uwe Oehler

by enabling veterinarians to bener and more quickly diagnose problems like neurological dbease he says Some of the problems studied here could be models for human diseases and affl ictions as wel l

The limiting factor in the facility s ability to conduct research and offer diagnosis is the size of the unit s magnet and its associated frequency At present the chamber can accommodate nothing larger than Cats or puppies

Professor Janzen is applying for assistance to increase the chamber s size by SO per cent which he says will accommodate most pets requirshying MRI diagnostic ervices ll1d render better MRI images through the usc of hight[ frequencies

By O wen Roberts Office of Research

OfCanadian universities offering veterinary and animal science programs Guelph is first to have magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) a non-surgical radiation-free techshynology that offers new levels of diagnostic information

The S13-million MRl faCility under the direction of Professor Ed Janzen Chemistry and Biochemistry is located in the Department of Bioshymedical Sciences It was assembled with University funds contributed by ove OAC CBS and CPS

Like x-rays or ultrasound MRr Jets researchers look inside the body without us ing surgery But similarshyities srop there

Whereas x-rays involve low-level radiation and are essentially snapshyshots of dense matter such as bone MRl pictures are obtained through the usc of harmless magnetism by recording how the bodys hydrogens align in the presence of a magnetic field produced by the MRI unit This alignment can be translated into unprecedented pictures of areas like rhe hrain heart or lungs shywherever there is soft t issue or fat which has high concentrations of hydrogens

Like MRI ultrasound offers more than pictures of bone but ultrashysound technology cannot provide the detail ohvious in MRI images By using a sensor that can be pinshypointed anywhere along the axis of an animal placed inside a magnetic chamber magnetic resonance imagshying can isolate and depict extremely thin slices of the subject Tissue and fat appear as distinctly different bright areas in the MRI image

Research projects direltled by Professors Janzen Tammy Bray Nutritiona l Sciences and Fred Braller Chemistry and Biochemistry are already under way at the MRI facility The first series involves rats as models fo r liver and lung diseases including the effect on the liver of alcohol and toxic chemicals like chlorocarbons found in dryshycleaning fluids and the influence of mineral deficient dieb on the lung

The availahility of the MRI unit means the progre~s of diseases can be studied without having to ellthanshyize anima ls or conduct inva -ive surgery

Prafes or Janzen says MR[ will become an important tool for enhancing animal research and diagnostic work at the Univers ity The procedures we are develuping will advance the welfare of animals

DEADLY BACTERIA QUICKLY IDENTIFIED WITH NEW KIT

THE GEORGE MORRIS CENTRE I t all staned with a gleaming red sports car and a man of vision

When George Morri~ retired farmer and long-time fri end of the University of Guelph decided morc than two years ago to donate a Corvette to the University his gesture grew into a unique fund-raising project for The Campaign The car was grand prize in a draw held at Homecoming 87

George wanted proceeds from the draw to be lIsed for the bettershyment of agriculture in this country Agriculture is an industry [ should help because I know more about it than anything else he reasoned

Now Georgc is secing his drcarrl come true At a March press confershyence it was announced that a proshyject to establish The George orris Centre at the University of Guelph is officially underway and that Dr Larry Martin has been appointed acting director of the Centre This agricultural think tank will develop policies and programs to

maximize opportunities for Canadian producers and processors and ensure the viability and profitability of Canadian agriculture

The Cenrre will be people rather than bricks and mortar The heart of the Centre will be two outstandshying faculty spec ialists - one in policy development and the other in market development and tride The Centre will also accommodate five or six graduate students who w ill conrribute to research and gain a comprehensive progressive outlook on agriculture and the future

To establish and maintain the Cent re a permanenr endowment of S2 5 million is needed Income from the endowment will provide salaries for the two specialists and pay administrative costs The endowment income wi ll also assist (he graduate students and help fund conferences through which the Centres findings will be commun ishycated to a broad audience

While much money remains to be

rai~ed funding for the Centres establishment is off to a healthy start Donors range from individuals like George Morris next -door neighbor Bob Skipper OAC 51 to multi -national corporations like James Richardson amp Sons Ltd of Winnipeg Ralston Purina Canada Inc and Ciha-Geigy Canada Ltd

The Centres concept is being whole-heartedl) supported across the country by those involved in agricultllre and concerned about its future Among the earliest supporters were the Ontario Cattlemens Assoshy iation and the Ontario Pork Board

OAC Dean Freeman McEwen chair of the Centres steering committee says We have the reshysources and illlelligence to compete in world markets more fully than ever before We need an agricultural policy to do jt and we need both

nd of the country pulling together

Stan Wilson past presideOl Canadian Canlemens Association says Canadian agricult ure must be internationally competitive to

survive That requirn sound policy thinking and polic) development The George Morris Centre will proshyvide a forum for the development of such policies

Dr Morris (Moe) Freeman Genetr Manager Semex Canada and a member of the Cen tres steering committee says Long -range planning is absolutely crucial for the future of Canadian agriculture and the George Morris Celllre is a step in the right direction

The George Morris Centre will be a fitting tribute to the man who inspired it George has been a farmer since he was 14 He i~ wellshyknown for his progres~ive att itude and contributions to the agricultural industry He has received centennial medals from both OAC and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food for these contributions

A founding member of the OnGlfiO Beef Improvement Association a member of the Ontario Grain Corn

George Morris

Council and past president of both the Canadian and Ontario Cattle shymen s Associations George ha~ been a leader in agriculture for many decades I-Il operated a 500-acre beef feedlot ncar Merlin Omario and for 20 years was in the wholesale butcher business

GeorgI is an innovative forwardshythinking individual says Marilyn Robinson deelopment officer D partment of Alumni Affairs and Development and a member of the George Morri s Centre ~teering

commit tee Ill not only dreamed up the idea for the Centre he made a substantial personal commitment to its establishment anu is encourshyaging others to suppOrt it

NEW RECEIPT PROCEDURE

A new procedure for issuing campaign donation receipts has been implemented in the Department of Alumni Affairs and Development

Previously if a donor gave three or more donalions annua ll y a separate receipt would be issued for each donation Now a single receipt will bt issued for all donations made by a donor in one year

This meam that a single receipt for all a donor s contributions in the ]989 calendar year will be mailed early in 1990 in time for tax declaration

This new procedure will simpli fy the donor s tax receipt records and be more efficient for the University

UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH A ONE-STOP CONFERENCE CENTRE

What do tht Toronto Argonauts Gtneral Electric the Salvation Army and the Canadian Association of Physicists have in common

All have used the facililie~ and services provided by the nivers ity of Guelph Conference Office

This year from April to August more than 80 groups rJnging in size from 20 to 2000 will make full use of the University s physical and human resources for everything from sport~ training camps to com shypany workshop middot and academic ~ymposia

Seventy per cent of the groups using the conference services return on an annual basis Conference tanager ancy McPherson thinks

there are two main reasons fo r this One is the attractive and centr lly located campus Although we are in a city and close to Toronto there is a coumry atmosphere here Ptople find the trce~ and landscaping appeal shying It is a refreshing environmeOl

Gary Nadalin Assistant Director for Central Reservations and Confershyences agrees We offer an academic sening combined with informality This ambiance appeals in particular to adults involved in continuing education programs Junior and middle managers whose companies send them here for training pro shygrms get a real sense of going back to school in a relaxed atmosphere

The other main reason fo r repeat business is the one-stop shopping service the Conference Office pro shyvidemiddot Office staff co-ordinate all support services required by each client - accommodation meals meet ing space audio visual equip shyment special set-ups exhibit areas wine and cheese receptions regis shytration coffee breaks athletics facilities and so on Our job is to make it as easy as po middotsible for the client who has to organize a confershyence explains ancy

Each summer Nancy hires five students to act as full-lime confer shyence co-ordinators Each co-ordinator

Nancy McPhermiddotson and Gary Nadalin of the Conference Office

is assigned a specific number o f conference groups and must ensure these groups needs are met Co shyordinators live in residence and arc on ca ll 24 hours a day while they have a group on campus

We are -ienmiddotice-oriented and try LO provide the best possible strvice for our clients explains Gary He also nOfes the important public relashytions role his office plays Often we are the only contact a delegate has with this l niversity and we wam to give a good impression

For youngsters who attend sports camps or 4-H work~hops on campus the liaison aspec t becomes important as welL 1 often arrange campus LOurs for these groups says Nancy Teenagers may decide LO attend this Un iversity based on previous experience here If they fee l comfortab le they may want to

come back Aside from the public relations

and liaison roles the Conference Office plays its main mandate is to

generate additional revenue for the Department of Residences and Food Services to keep student residence and food service fee increases to a minimum It keeps porters mainshytenance people and food service personnel employed year round as well

There is also a pin-off benefit for the cOOlmunity-at-large since we bring thousands of viitors to Guelph who spend convention dollars in the city explains Gary

Conference hu-iness is presently restricted by the number of large meeting rooms available on campus but Gary says there is growth potential for those groups which just require beds We have 4000 residence beds so groups that need hostel service without meeting rooms arc on the increase

MASSEY COFFEE SHOP

REUNION PLANNED

T he Massey Hall coffee shop may not be one of the reasons studel1ls choose to attend the niversity of Guelph but by the time they grad shyuate it is often among their fo ndest memories of campus life

The coffee shop was eswblished in the 1950s and has gone through several changcs over the years At one time or another it feat ured various forms o f entertainment in shycluding juke box pinball machines and movies These are gone now but the shops plt pularity remai ns

A group of students recently polled at the shop gave a variety of reasons for this popularity It s the oatmeal muffins said one 0 its the scones argued another Its the friend ly staff someone else spoke up Others com mented on the homey relaxed atmosphere and great prices

Barbara Buczek manager of the shop says the staffs friend li nes~ may be due to the mother instinct She explains A lot o f our students dont get home often so we like to make them feel at home when they come in here

A few alumni poUed think its the Danish pastries that make the shop great Janet Land Arts 80 now a p rofessional actress recalls The high light of my week was Monday morning drama classes Wed start with co ffee and those delic io us Danishes from Massey Hall and then run through our exercises

Richard Buck OAC 76A recalls sharing Danishes in the shop w ith his wife Barbara Brandon Arts 77 They were just too big for o ne person [0 eat alone he explains

Sarah (Wyatt) Nadalin Arts 82 remembers the shop as a way to get acquainted with studems in other areas of study You ended up w it h friends you wouldnt have known

vlaster of Landscape Architecture studellts (Cockllise fl011I left) inn Sakkal Malcolm Gordoll William Wright Vickie Morris Cbris fiart Clnd Heather Speakman tOCIst the Massey Hall coffee shop

otherwise They werc your coffee shop friends It was also a great place [0 talk informally with your professors

Professor Richard Phidd Political Studies agrees There is no sense of h iemrchy in the coffee shop so a more informal communication process can take place between facu lt y and students

Professor Phidd says the homey environmem and small wblc groupshyings b ring people closer together You meet peoplc on a personal level There is a ense of community

and a sense of tradition Its a re latively unique thing on campus I oftm take viSitors there just for the differen t environment

If you feel nostalgic for the Massey coffee shop you can take part in a rcunion there during Alumn i Week shyend Saturday June 17 from I to -i pm Just fill in the Alumni Weekend registration form in this issue of the Guelph Alunlllils to let us know you will ttke pan Come back to campus and reminisce with your old friends over ome de licious Masey muffin

FACS GRAD MONITORS CHILDRENS NUTRITION IN AFRICA

By Christopher Nea l cusa Communicat ions O fficer

Josie Vespa FACS S3 is up mos t mornings at dawn for a day trip to one of 12 villages in the northern province of Sierra Leone a tropica l forest nation of four mill ion in West Africa She has been a CUSO coshyoperant there since 1986

She begins her days by meeting with tbe village chief to give greetings and tell him we (she bas an African partner) want to weigh the young ch ildren to see how they are growing

He responds by dispatching the town crier who dashes about the mud houses announcing her arrival When the village women gather Josie weighs their children leads them in songs about nutrition or demonstrates preparation of food suitable for children starting to eat solids

It is important work in the Bombali District as josie has found up to one-quarter of the children under five are malnourished This stunts their growth impairs their mental development and leaves them prone to widespread diarrhea and malaria

Josie and her colleagues have also found most malnourishment cases arise in (he ~econd half of a baby s first year when solid foods are added to breastmilk They are invesshytigat ing exactly what cau cs the growth faltering in order to fomlulate health education strategies that will become part of a national nutrition system developed by a committee of nutritionists from across Sierra Leone

Before her contract in Sierra Leone Josie had a CUSO posting at a igerian school for the hearingshyimpaired and blind At the same time she gave health talks to pregshynant women and mothers of small chilLiren

BIBLIOGRAPHY TO BENEFIT

MANY University school and community libraries in Wellington County hae been presented with a new biblioshygraphy of historical books brochures and essays about the region

Guelpb and Wellington COlIII) A Bibliography 0 Settlement and Development since 1800 wil l beneshyfit local teachers s tudent~ genealoshygiSts archivists municipa l offices museum staff and heritage groups

The 350-page volume wa~ comshypiled as the first step in a UniverSity o f Guelph research effort to study the Upper Grand Valley region be Guelph Regional Project was inishyt iated by Professor Gil Stelter History who chairs a faculL y group interested in re earch on the regio n The project has been funded since 1987 by a Un ie rsi t y research excdlcnce gram

The special ed ition prese11led to

county libraries schools museums and archives was made poss ible by a donation from John Sutherland and Sons Ltd of Guelph which provided funds for hinding This gift was crucial in making the bibliography aailable promptly to

users in the wider comm uni ty say~ Professor Elizabeth Bloomfield Geography who co -ordinated product ion Mary Su therland says the donation by her familys com shypany was modest compared to the Univer ity s efforts

The Guelph Regional Project will n xt publish a compilation o f pershysonal and fa m ily data based on the biographies in the 1906 Wellington County atlas and a volume of maps illustrating territoria l orgll1ization of the region since 1800

In addi t ion to providing an inforshymatio n base of primary and seconshydary source materials on Vellington County rhe Guelph Regional Project represents a model approach to the study of local and regional history that might be usefll l in other regions

NEW DIAGNOSTIC FACILITY HEIGHTENS ANIMAL WELFARE

GueljJh researchers can take an inside Look at Lille pLants and animals thanks to a new magnetic resonance imaging facility in the Department ofBiomedical Sciences Above in front of the facilitys magnetic cha mber are facility opershyliars Rheal Towner and Uwe Oehler

by enabling veterinarians to bener and more quickly diagnose problems like neurological dbease he says Some of the problems studied here could be models for human diseases and affl ictions as wel l

The limiting factor in the facility s ability to conduct research and offer diagnosis is the size of the unit s magnet and its associated frequency At present the chamber can accommodate nothing larger than Cats or puppies

Professor Janzen is applying for assistance to increase the chamber s size by SO per cent which he says will accommodate most pets requirshying MRI diagnostic ervices ll1d render better MRI images through the usc of hight[ frequencies

By O wen Roberts Office of Research

OfCanadian universities offering veterinary and animal science programs Guelph is first to have magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) a non-surgical radiation-free techshynology that offers new levels of diagnostic information

The S13-million MRl faCility under the direction of Professor Ed Janzen Chemistry and Biochemistry is located in the Department of Bioshymedical Sciences It was assembled with University funds contributed by ove OAC CBS and CPS

Like x-rays or ultrasound MRr Jets researchers look inside the body without us ing surgery But similarshyities srop there

Whereas x-rays involve low-level radiation and are essentially snapshyshots of dense matter such as bone MRl pictures are obtained through the usc of harmless magnetism by recording how the bodys hydrogens align in the presence of a magnetic field produced by the MRI unit This alignment can be translated into unprecedented pictures of areas like rhe hrain heart or lungs shywherever there is soft t issue or fat which has high concentrations of hydrogens

Like MRI ultrasound offers more than pictures of bone but ultrashysound technology cannot provide the detail ohvious in MRI images By using a sensor that can be pinshypointed anywhere along the axis of an animal placed inside a magnetic chamber magnetic resonance imagshying can isolate and depict extremely thin slices of the subject Tissue and fat appear as distinctly different bright areas in the MRI image

Research projects direltled by Professors Janzen Tammy Bray Nutritiona l Sciences and Fred Braller Chemistry and Biochemistry are already under way at the MRI facility The first series involves rats as models fo r liver and lung diseases including the effect on the liver of alcohol and toxic chemicals like chlorocarbons found in dryshycleaning fluids and the influence of mineral deficient dieb on the lung

The availahility of the MRI unit means the progre~s of diseases can be studied without having to ellthanshyize anima ls or conduct inva -ive surgery

Prafes or Janzen says MR[ will become an important tool for enhancing animal research and diagnostic work at the Univers ity The procedures we are develuping will advance the welfare of animals

DEADLY BACTERIA QUICKLY IDENTIFIED WITH NEW KIT

By Owen Roberts Office of Research

A research team Jed by Micro shybiology Professor Joseph Lam has lIevelopnl a lIiagnostic kit that can quickly idcntify a bacteria gro up known to cause fatal infections in some hospita l patients in a m atte r of days The kit is composell o f monoclonal antibodies that can illentifyall 1- straim of the dead ly baClerium Pseudolllollas aerugillOsa

Convemional illemificaliol1 which involve~ culturing hacteria from the palients blood or sputum takes a least 12 hours Profe~sor Lams kit reduces the test period to Jess than five minutes

Tbe kit consists of 17 kinds of

monoclonal amibodies produced from clones of antibody-producing ce lls spec ific to each strain o f bacterium Ind ividual ant ibodies are attrdcted 10 their own specific bacshyterium where they settle in clumps As well ant ibodies from the kit can be attached 10 chemicals that will flouresce under ult raviolet light

By observing either the clumping reaction between a patients blood or sputum sample and the various ant ibodies from the kit or studying the sample under the microscope medical personnel ca n determine the strain of bacterium

UNIVERSITY OF GUELPH A ONE-STOP CONFERENCE CENTRE

What do tht Toronto Argonauts Gtneral Electric the Salvation Army and the Canadian Association of Physicists have in common

All have used the facililie~ and services provided by the nivers ity of Guelph Conference Office

This year from April to August more than 80 groups rJnging in size from 20 to 2000 will make full use of the University s physical and human resources for everything from sport~ training camps to com shypany workshop middot and academic ~ymposia

Seventy per cent of the groups using the conference services return on an annual basis Conference tanager ancy McPherson thinks

there are two main reasons fo r this One is the attractive and centr lly located campus Although we are in a city and close to Toronto there is a coumry atmosphere here Ptople find the trce~ and landscaping appeal shying It is a refreshing environmeOl

Gary Nadalin Assistant Director for Central Reservations and Confershyences agrees We offer an academic sening combined with informality This ambiance appeals in particular to adults involved in continuing education programs Junior and middle managers whose companies send them here for training pro shygrms get a real sense of going back to school in a relaxed atmosphere

The other main reason fo r repeat business is the one-stop shopping service the Conference Office pro shyvidemiddot Office staff co-ordinate all support services required by each client - accommodation meals meet ing space audio visual equip shyment special set-ups exhibit areas wine and cheese receptions regis shytration coffee breaks athletics facilities and so on Our job is to make it as easy as po middotsible for the client who has to organize a confershyence explains ancy

Each summer Nancy hires five students to act as full-lime confer shyence co-ordinators Each co-ordinator

Nancy McPhermiddotson and Gary Nadalin of the Conference Office

is assigned a specific number o f conference groups and must ensure these groups needs are met Co shyordinators live in residence and arc on ca ll 24 hours a day while they have a group on campus

We are -ienmiddotice-oriented and try LO provide the best possible strvice for our clients explains Gary He also nOfes the important public relashytions role his office plays Often we are the only contact a delegate has with this l niversity and we wam to give a good impression

For youngsters who attend sports camps or 4-H work~hops on campus the liaison aspec t becomes important as welL 1 often arrange campus LOurs for these groups says Nancy Teenagers may decide LO attend this Un iversity based on previous experience here If they fee l comfortab le they may want to

come back Aside from the public relations

and liaison roles the Conference Office plays its main mandate is to

generate additional revenue for the Department of Residences and Food Services to keep student residence and food service fee increases to a minimum It keeps porters mainshytenance people and food service personnel employed year round as well

There is also a pin-off benefit for the cOOlmunity-at-large since we bring thousands of viitors to Guelph who spend convention dollars in the city explains Gary

Conference hu-iness is presently restricted by the number of large meeting rooms available on campus but Gary says there is growth potential for those groups which just require beds We have 4000 residence beds so groups that need hostel service without meeting rooms arc on the increase

MASSEY COFFEE SHOP

REUNION PLANNED

T he Massey Hall coffee shop may not be one of the reasons studel1ls choose to attend the niversity of Guelph but by the time they grad shyuate it is often among their fo ndest memories of campus life

The coffee shop was eswblished in the 1950s and has gone through several changcs over the years At one time or another it feat ured various forms o f entertainment in shycluding juke box pinball machines and movies These are gone now but the shops plt pularity remai ns

A group of students recently polled at the shop gave a variety of reasons for this popularity It s the oatmeal muffins said one 0 its the scones argued another Its the friend ly staff someone else spoke up Others com mented on the homey relaxed atmosphere and great prices

Barbara Buczek manager of the shop says the staffs friend li nes~ may be due to the mother instinct She explains A lot o f our students dont get home often so we like to make them feel at home when they come in here

A few alumni poUed think its the Danish pastries that make the shop great Janet Land Arts 80 now a p rofessional actress recalls The high light of my week was Monday morning drama classes Wed start with co ffee and those delic io us Danishes from Massey Hall and then run through our exercises

Richard Buck OAC 76A recalls sharing Danishes in the shop w ith his wife Barbara Brandon Arts 77 They were just too big for o ne person [0 eat alone he explains

Sarah (Wyatt) Nadalin Arts 82 remembers the shop as a way to get acquainted with studems in other areas of study You ended up w it h friends you wouldnt have known

otherwise They werc your coffee shop friends It was also a great place [0 talk informally with your professors

Professor Richard Phidd Political Studies agrees There is no sense of h iemrchy in the coffee shop so a more informal communication process can take place between facu lt y and students

Professor Phidd says the homey environmem and small wblc groupshyings b ring people closer together You meet peoplc on a personal level There is a ense of community

and a sense of tradition Its a re latively unique thing on campus I oftm take viSitors there just for the differen t environment

If you feel nostalgic for the Massey coffee shop you can take part in a rcunion there during Alumn i Week shyend Saturday June 17 from I to -i pm Just fill in the Alumni Weekend registration form in this issue of the Guelph Alunlllils to let us know you will ttke pan Come back to campus and reminisce with your old friends over ome de licious Masey muffin

FACS GRAD MONITORS CHILDRENS NUTRITION IN AFRICA

By Christopher Nea l cusa Communicat ions O fficer

Josie Vespa FACS S3 is up mos t mornings at dawn for a day trip to one of 12 villages in the northern province of Sierra Leone a tropica l forest nation of four mill ion in West Africa She has been a CUSO coshyoperant there since 1986

She begins her days by meeting with tbe village chief to give greetings and tell him we (she bas an African partner) want to weigh the young ch ildren to see how they are growing

He responds by dispatching the town crier who dashes about the mud houses announcing her arrival When the village women gather Josie weighs their children leads them in songs about nutrition or demonstrates preparation of food suitable for children starting to eat solids

It is important work in the Bombali District as josie has found up to one-quarter of the children under five are malnourished This stunts their growth impairs their mental development and leaves them prone to widespread diarrhea and malaria

Josie and her colleagues have also found most malnourishment cases arise in (he ~econd half of a baby s first year when solid foods are added to breastmilk They are invesshytigat ing exactly what cau cs the growth faltering in order to fomlulate health education strategies that will become part of a national nutrition system developed by a committee of nutritionists from across Sierra Leone

Before her contract in Sierra Leone Josie had a CUSO posting at a igerian school for the hearingshyimpaired and blind At the same time she gave health talks to pregshynant women and mothers of small chilLiren

Between that posting and her present one Josie returned to

JOSie Vespa FACS 83 consulting leitb lillagers ill Sierra Leone

Health care workers are fooling themsdves if they think they can understand nutrition problems just by obserYing them in the clinic conshysultation rOom she says

In Sierra Leone where CUSO has 15 co-opcrants Josie hclicyes she has helped developmcnt take place n small communities families tOok the firs t step in trying to solve child health problems she says And develupment took place at a national level when the government decided to institute nutrition activities

Josie is now training a Sierra Leonian for the nutrition ist s job in B0111hal i District All hough Ii fc in the villag of Binkolo has been without luxuries like transportation and toothpaste Josie says she will miss the illagcr~ when ~he leave

Oyer 60000 Canadians contribute every year to CUSO b donating money time or skills founded in 1961 CUSO has ~enL 9000 co-opershyants abroaLi and now funds more than 250 projectgt in developing countries

BIBLIOGRAPHY TO BENEFIT

MANY University school and community libraries in Wellington County hae been presented with a new biblioshygraphy of historical books brochures and essays about the region

Guelpb and Wellington COlIII) A Bibliography 0 Settlement and Development since 1800 wil l beneshyfit local teachers s tudent~ genealoshygiSts archivists municipa l offices museum staff and heritage groups

The 350-page volume wa~ comshypiled as the first step in a UniverSity o f Guelph research effort to study the Upper Grand Valley region be Guelph Regional Project was inishyt iated by Professor Gil Stelter History who chairs a faculL y group interested in re earch on the regio n The project has been funded since 1987 by a Un ie rsi t y research excdlcnce gram

The special ed ition prese11led to

county libraries schools museums and archives was made poss ible by a donation from John Sutherland and Sons Ltd of Guelph which provided funds for hinding This gift was crucial in making the bibliography aailable promptly to

users in the wider comm uni ty say~ Professor Elizabeth Bloomfield Geography who co -ordinated product ion Mary Su therland says the donation by her familys com shypany was modest compared to the Univer ity s efforts

The Guelph Regional Project will n xt publish a compilation o f pershysonal and fa m ily data based on the biographies in the 1906 Wellington County atlas and a volume of maps illustrating territoria l orgll1ization of the region since 1800

In addi t ion to providing an inforshymatio n base of primary and seconshydary source materials on Vellington County rhe Guelph Regional Project represents a model approach to the study of local and regional history that might be usefll l in other regions

NEW DIAGNOSTIC FACILITY HEIGHTENS ANIMAL WELFARE

GueljJh researchers can take an inside Look at Lille pLants and animals thanks to a new magnetic resonance imaging facility in the Department ofBiomedical Sciences Above in front of the facilitys magnetic cha mber are facility opershyliars Rheal Towner and Uwe Oehler

by enabling veterinarians to bener and more quickly diagnose problems like neurological dbease he says Some of the problems studied here could be models for human diseases and affl ictions as wel l

The limiting factor in the facility s ability to conduct research and offer diagnosis is the size of the unit s magnet and its associated frequency At present the chamber can accommodate nothing larger than Cats or puppies

Professor Janzen is applying for assistance to increase the chamber s size by SO per cent which he says will accommodate most pets requirshying MRI diagnostic ervices ll1d render better MRI images through the usc of hight[ frequencies

By O wen Roberts Office of Research

OfCanadian universities offering veterinary and animal science programs Guelph is first to have magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) a non-surgical radiation-free techshynology that offers new levels of diagnostic information

The S13-million MRl faCility under the direction of Professor Ed Janzen Chemistry and Biochemistry is located in the Department of Bioshymedical Sciences It was assembled with University funds contributed by ove OAC CBS and CPS

Like x-rays or ultrasound MRr Jets researchers look inside the body without us ing surgery But similarshyities srop there

Whereas x-rays involve low-level radiation and are essentially snapshyshots of dense matter such as bone MRl pictures are obtained through the usc of harmless magnetism by recording how the bodys hydrogens align in the presence of a magnetic field produced by the MRI unit This alignment can be translated into unprecedented pictures of areas like rhe hrain heart or lungs shywherever there is soft t issue or fat which has high concentrations of hydrogens

Like MRI ultrasound offers more than pictures of bone but ultrashysound technology cannot provide the detail ohvious in MRI images By using a sensor that can be pinshypointed anywhere along the axis of an animal placed inside a magnetic chamber magnetic resonance imagshying can isolate and depict extremely thin slices of the subject Tissue and fat appear as distinctly different bright areas in the MRI image

Research projects direltled by Professors Janzen Tammy Bray Nutritiona l Sciences and Fred Braller Chemistry and Biochemistry are already under way at the MRI facility The first series involves rats as models fo r liver and lung diseases including the effect on the liver of alcohol and toxic chemicals like chlorocarbons found in dryshycleaning fluids and the influence of mineral deficient dieb on the lung

The availahility of the MRI unit means the progre~s of diseases can be studied without having to ellthanshyize anima ls or conduct inva -ive surgery

Prafes or Janzen says MR[ will become an important tool for enhancing animal research and diagnostic work at the Univers ity The procedures we are develuping will advance the welfare of animals

Convemional illemificaliol1 which involve~ culturing hacteria from the palients blood or sputum takes a least 12 hours Profe~sor Lams kit reduces the test period to Jess than five minutes

Tbe kit consists of 17 kinds of

monoclonal amibodies produced from clones of antibody-producing ce lls spec ific to each strain o f bacterium Ind ividual ant ibodies are attrdcted 10 their own specific bacshyterium where they settle in clumps As well ant ibodies from the kit can be attached 10 chemicals that will flouresce under ult raviolet light

By observing either the clumping reaction between a patients blood or sputum sample and the various ant ibodies from the kit or studying the sample under the microscope medical personnel ca n determine the strain of bacterium

MASSEY COFFEE SHOP

REUNION PLANNED

T he Massey Hall coffee shop may not be one of the reasons studel1ls choose to attend the niversity of Guelph but by the time they grad shyuate it is often among their fo ndest memories of campus life

The coffee shop was eswblished in the 1950s and has gone through several changcs over the years At one time or another it feat ured various forms o f entertainment in shycluding juke box pinball machines and movies These are gone now but the shops plt pularity remai ns

A group of students recently polled at the shop gave a variety of reasons for this popularity It s the oatmeal muffins said one 0 its the scones argued another Its the friend ly staff someone else spoke up Others com mented on the homey relaxed atmosphere and great prices

Barbara Buczek manager of the shop says the staffs friend li nes~ may be due to the mother instinct She explains A lot o f our students dont get home often so we like to make them feel at home when they come in here

A few alumni poUed think its the Danish pastries that make the shop great Janet Land Arts 80 now a p rofessional actress recalls The high light of my week was Monday morning drama classes Wed start with co ffee and those delic io us Danishes from Massey Hall and then run through our exercises

Richard Buck OAC 76A recalls sharing Danishes in the shop w ith his wife Barbara Brandon Arts 77 They were just too big for o ne person [0 eat alone he explains

Sarah (Wyatt) Nadalin Arts 82 remembers the shop as a way to get acquainted with studems in other areas of study You ended up w it h friends you wouldnt have known

vlaster of Landscape Architecture studellts (Cockllise fl011I left) inn Sakkal Malcolm Gordoll William Wright Vickie Morris Cbris fiart Clnd Heather Speakman tOCIst the Massey Hall coffee shop

otherwise They werc your coffee shop friends It was also a great place [0 talk informally with your professors

Professor Richard Phidd Political Studies agrees There is no sense of h iemrchy in the coffee shop so a more informal communication process can take place between facu lt y and students

Professor Phidd says the homey environmem and small wblc groupshyings b ring people closer together You meet peoplc on a personal level There is a ense of community

and a sense of tradition Its a re latively unique thing on campus I oftm take viSitors there just for the differen t environment

If you feel nostalgic for the Massey coffee shop you can take part in a rcunion there during Alumn i Week shyend Saturday June 17 from I to -i pm Just fill in the Alumni Weekend registration form in this issue of the Guelph Alunlllils to let us know you will ttke pan Come back to campus and reminisce with your old friends over ome de licious Masey muffin

FACS GRAD MONITORS CHILDRENS NUTRITION IN AFRICA

By Christopher Nea l cusa Communicat ions O fficer

Josie Vespa FACS S3 is up mos t mornings at dawn for a day trip to one of 12 villages in the northern province of Sierra Leone a tropica l forest nation of four mill ion in West Africa She has been a CUSO coshyoperant there since 1986

She begins her days by meeting with tbe village chief to give greetings and tell him we (she bas an African partner) want to weigh the young ch ildren to see how they are growing

He responds by dispatching the town crier who dashes about the mud houses announcing her arrival When the village women gather Josie weighs their children leads them in songs about nutrition or demonstrates preparation of food suitable for children starting to eat solids

It is important work in the Bombali District as josie has found up to one-quarter of the children under five are malnourished This stunts their growth impairs their mental development and leaves them prone to widespread diarrhea and malaria

Josie and her colleagues have also found most malnourishment cases arise in (he ~econd half of a baby s first year when solid foods are added to breastmilk They are invesshytigat ing exactly what cau cs the growth faltering in order to fomlulate health education strategies that will become part of a national nutrition system developed by a committee of nutritionists from across Sierra Leone

Before her contract in Sierra Leone Josie had a CUSO posting at a igerian school for the hearingshyimpaired and blind At the same time she gave health talks to pregshynant women and mothers of small chilLiren

Between that posting and her present one Josie returned to

JOSie Vespa FACS 83 consulting leitb lillagers ill Sierra Leone

Health care workers are fooling themsdves if they think they can understand nutrition problems just by obserYing them in the clinic conshysultation rOom she says

In Sierra Leone where CUSO has 15 co-opcrants Josie hclicyes she has helped developmcnt take place n small communities families tOok the firs t step in trying to solve child health problems she says And develupment took place at a national level when the government decided to institute nutrition activities

Josie is now training a Sierra Leonian for the nutrition ist s job in B0111hal i District All hough Ii fc in the villag of Binkolo has been without luxuries like transportation and toothpaste Josie says she will miss the illagcr~ when ~he leave

Oyer 60000 Canadians contribute every year to CUSO b donating money time or skills founded in 1961 CUSO has ~enL 9000 co-opershyants abroaLi and now funds more than 250 projectgt in developing countries

BIBLIOGRAPHY TO BENEFIT

MANY University school and community libraries in Wellington County hae been presented with a new biblioshygraphy of historical books brochures and essays about the region

Guelpb and Wellington COlIII) A Bibliography 0 Settlement and Development since 1800 wil l beneshyfit local teachers s tudent~ genealoshygiSts archivists municipa l offices museum staff and heritage groups

The 350-page volume wa~ comshypiled as the first step in a UniverSity o f Guelph research effort to study the Upper Grand Valley region be Guelph Regional Project was inishyt iated by Professor Gil Stelter History who chairs a faculL y group interested in re earch on the regio n The project has been funded since 1987 by a Un ie rsi t y research excdlcnce gram

The special ed ition prese11led to

county libraries schools museums and archives was made poss ible by a donation from John Sutherland and Sons Ltd of Guelph which provided funds for hinding This gift was crucial in making the bibliography aailable promptly to

users in the wider comm uni ty say~ Professor Elizabeth Bloomfield Geography who co -ordinated product ion Mary Su therland says the donation by her familys com shypany was modest compared to the Univer ity s efforts

The Guelph Regional Project will n xt publish a compilation o f pershysonal and fa m ily data based on the biographies in the 1906 Wellington County atlas and a volume of maps illustrating territoria l orgll1ization of the region since 1800

In addi t ion to providing an inforshymatio n base of primary and seconshydary source materials on Vellington County rhe Guelph Regional Project represents a model approach to the study of local and regional history that might be usefll l in other regions

NEW DIAGNOSTIC FACILITY HEIGHTENS ANIMAL WELFARE

GueljJh researchers can take an inside Look at Lille pLants and animals thanks to a new magnetic resonance imaging facility in the Department ofBiomedical Sciences Above in front of the facilitys magnetic cha mber are facility opershyliars Rheal Towner and Uwe Oehler

by enabling veterinarians to bener and more quickly diagnose problems like neurological dbease he says Some of the problems studied here could be models for human diseases and affl ictions as wel l

The limiting factor in the facility s ability to conduct research and offer diagnosis is the size of the unit s magnet and its associated frequency At present the chamber can accommodate nothing larger than Cats or puppies

Professor Janzen is applying for assistance to increase the chamber s size by SO per cent which he says will accommodate most pets requirshying MRI diagnostic ervices ll1d render better MRI images through the usc of hight[ frequencies

By O wen Roberts Office of Research

OfCanadian universities offering veterinary and animal science programs Guelph is first to have magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) a non-surgical radiation-free techshynology that offers new levels of diagnostic information

The S13-million MRl faCility under the direction of Professor Ed Janzen Chemistry and Biochemistry is located in the Department of Bioshymedical Sciences It was assembled with University funds contributed by ove OAC CBS and CPS

Like x-rays or ultrasound MRr Jets researchers look inside the body without us ing surgery But similarshyities srop there

Whereas x-rays involve low-level radiation and are essentially snapshyshots of dense matter such as bone MRl pictures are obtained through the usc of harmless magnetism by recording how the bodys hydrogens align in the presence of a magnetic field produced by the MRI unit This alignment can be translated into unprecedented pictures of areas like rhe hrain heart or lungs shywherever there is soft t issue or fat which has high concentrations of hydrogens

Like MRI ultrasound offers more than pictures of bone but ultrashysound technology cannot provide the detail ohvious in MRI images By using a sensor that can be pinshypointed anywhere along the axis of an animal placed inside a magnetic chamber magnetic resonance imagshying can isolate and depict extremely thin slices of the subject Tissue and fat appear as distinctly different bright areas in the MRI image

Research projects direltled by Professors Janzen Tammy Bray Nutritiona l Sciences and Fred Braller Chemistry and Biochemistry are already under way at the MRI facility The first series involves rats as models fo r liver and lung diseases including the effect on the liver of alcohol and toxic chemicals like chlorocarbons found in dryshycleaning fluids and the influence of mineral deficient dieb on the lung

The availahility of the MRI unit means the progre~s of diseases can be studied without having to ellthanshyize anima ls or conduct inva -ive surgery

Prafes or Janzen says MR[ will become an important tool for enhancing animal research and diagnostic work at the Univers ity The procedures we are develuping will advance the welfare of animals

Convemional illemificaliol1 which involve~ culturing hacteria from the palients blood or sputum takes a least 12 hours Profe~sor Lams kit reduces the test period to Jess than five minutes

Tbe kit consists of 17 kinds of

monoclonal amibodies produced from clones of antibody-producing ce lls spec ific to each strain o f bacterium Ind ividual ant ibodies are attrdcted 10 their own specific bacshyterium where they settle in clumps As well ant ibodies from the kit can be attached 10 chemicals that will flouresce under ult raviolet light

MASSEY COFFEE SHOP

REUNION PLANNED

T he Massey Hall coffee shop may not be one of the reasons studel1ls choose to attend the niversity of Guelph but by the time they grad shyuate it is often among their fo ndest memories of campus life

The coffee shop was eswblished in the 1950s and has gone through several changcs over the years At one time or another it feat ured various forms o f entertainment in shycluding juke box pinball machines and movies These are gone now but the shops plt pularity remai ns

A group of students recently polled at the shop gave a variety of reasons for this popularity It s the oatmeal muffins said one 0 its the scones argued another Its the friend ly staff someone else spoke up Others com mented on the homey relaxed atmosphere and great prices

Barbara Buczek manager of the shop says the staffs friend li nes~ may be due to the mother instinct She explains A lot o f our students dont get home often so we like to make them feel at home when they come in here

A few alumni poUed think its the Danish pastries that make the shop great Janet Land Arts 80 now a p rofessional actress recalls The high light of my week was Monday morning drama classes Wed start with co ffee and those delic io us Danishes from Massey Hall and then run through our exercises

Richard Buck OAC 76A recalls sharing Danishes in the shop w ith his wife Barbara Brandon Arts 77 They were just too big for o ne person [0 eat alone he explains

Sarah (Wyatt) Nadalin Arts 82 remembers the shop as a way to get acquainted with studems in other areas of study You ended up w it h friends you wouldnt have known

vlaster of Landscape Architecture studellts (Cockllise fl011I left) inn Sakkal Malcolm Gordoll William Wright Vickie Morris Cbris fiart Clnd Heather Speakman tOCIst the Massey Hall coffee shop

otherwise They werc your coffee shop friends It was also a great place [0 talk informally with your professors

Professor Richard Phidd Political Studies agrees There is no sense of h iemrchy in the coffee shop so a more informal communication process can take place between facu lt y and students

Professor Phidd says the homey environmem and small wblc groupshyings b ring people closer together You meet peoplc on a personal level There is a ense of community

and a sense of tradition Its a re latively unique thing on campus I oftm take viSitors there just for the differen t environment

If you feel nostalgic for the Massey coffee shop you can take part in a rcunion there during Alumn i Week shyend Saturday June 17 from I to -i pm Just fill in the Alumni Weekend registration form in this issue of the Guelph Alunlllils to let us know you will ttke pan Come back to campus and reminisce with your old friends over ome de licious Masey muffin

FACS GRAD MONITORS CHILDRENS NUTRITION IN AFRICA

By Christopher Nea l cusa Communicat ions O fficer

Josie Vespa FACS S3 is up mos t mornings at dawn for a day trip to one of 12 villages in the northern province of Sierra Leone a tropica l forest nation of four mill ion in West Africa She has been a CUSO coshyoperant there since 1986

She begins her days by meeting with tbe village chief to give greetings and tell him we (she bas an African partner) want to weigh the young ch ildren to see how they are growing

He responds by dispatching the town crier who dashes about the mud houses announcing her arrival When the village women gather Josie weighs their children leads them in songs about nutrition or demonstrates preparation of food suitable for children starting to eat solids

It is important work in the Bombali District as josie has found up to one-quarter of the children under five are malnourished This stunts their growth impairs their mental development and leaves them prone to widespread diarrhea and malaria

Josie and her colleagues have also found most malnourishment cases arise in (he ~econd half of a baby s first year when solid foods are added to breastmilk They are invesshytigat ing exactly what cau cs the growth faltering in order to fomlulate health education strategies that will become part of a national nutrition system developed by a committee of nutritionists from across Sierra Leone

Before her contract in Sierra Leone Josie had a CUSO posting at a igerian school for the hearingshyimpaired and blind At the same time she gave health talks to pregshynant women and mothers of small chilLiren

Between that posting and her present one Josie returned to

JOSie Vespa FACS 83 consulting leitb lillagers ill Sierra Leone

Canada for a )lar of study in obstcshytries child care communicable diseases and health care delivery at Seneca College North York While the Seneca courses and her previous nutrit ion degree from Guelph were useful Jo~ie sap the starling point to cont ribute to an imprmeOleot in the health of West African villagcr~ was going into their homes and eating thdr foocl

Health care workers are fooling themsdves if they think they can understand nutrition problems just by obserYing them in the clinic conshysultation rOom she says

In Sierra Leone where CUSO has 15 co-opcrants Josie hclicyes she has helped developmcnt take place n small communities families tOok the firs t step in trying to solve child health problems she says And develupment took place at a national level when the government decided to institute nutrition activities

Josie is now training a Sierra Leonian for the nutrition ist s job in B0111hal i District All hough Ii fc in the villag of Binkolo has been without luxuries like transportation and toothpaste Josie says she will miss the illagcr~ when ~he leave

Oyer 60000 Canadians contribute every year to CUSO b donating money time or skills founded in 1961 CUSO has ~enL 9000 co-opershyants abroaLi and now funds more than 250 projectgt in developing countries

BIBLIOGRAPHY TO BENEFIT

MANY University school and community libraries in Wellington County hae been presented with a new biblioshygraphy of historical books brochures and essays about the region

Guelpb and Wellington COlIII) A Bibliography 0 Settlement and Development since 1800 wil l beneshyfit local teachers s tudent~ genealoshygiSts archivists municipa l offices museum staff and heritage groups

The 350-page volume wa~ comshypiled as the first step in a UniverSity o f Guelph research effort to study the Upper Grand Valley region be Guelph Regional Project was inishyt iated by Professor Gil Stelter History who chairs a faculL y group interested in re earch on the regio n The project has been funded since 1987 by a Un ie rsi t y research excdlcnce gram

The special ed ition prese11led to

county libraries schools museums and archives was made poss ible by a donation from John Sutherland and Sons Ltd of Guelph which provided funds for hinding This gift was crucial in making the bibliography aailable promptly to

users in the wider comm uni ty say~ Professor Elizabeth Bloomfield Geography who co -ordinated product ion Mary Su therland says the donation by her familys com shypany was modest compared to the Univer ity s efforts

The Guelph Regional Project will n xt publish a compilation o f pershysonal and fa m ily data based on the biographies in the 1906 Wellington County atlas and a volume of maps illustrating territoria l orgll1ization of the region since 1800

In addi t ion to providing an inforshymatio n base of primary and seconshydary source materials on Vellington County rhe Guelph Regional Project represents a model approach to the study of local and regional history that might be usefll l in other regions

NEW DIAGNOSTIC FACILITY HEIGHTENS ANIMAL WELFARE

GueljJh researchers can take an inside Look at Lille pLants and animals thanks to a new magnetic resonance imaging facility in the Department ofBiomedical Sciences Above in front of the facilitys magnetic cha mber are facility opershyliars Rheal Towner and Uwe Oehler

by enabling veterinarians to bener and more quickly diagnose problems like neurological dbease he says Some of the problems studied here could be models for human diseases and affl ictions as wel l

The limiting factor in the facility s ability to conduct research and offer diagnosis is the size of the unit s magnet and its associated frequency At present the chamber can accommodate nothing larger than Cats or puppies

Professor Janzen is applying for assistance to increase the chamber s size by SO per cent which he says will accommodate most pets requirshying MRI diagnostic ervices ll1d render better MRI images through the usc of hight[ frequencies

By O wen Roberts Office of Research

OfCanadian universities offering veterinary and animal science programs Guelph is first to have magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) a non-surgical radiation-free techshynology that offers new levels of diagnostic information

The S13-million MRl faCility under the direction of Professor Ed Janzen Chemistry and Biochemistry is located in the Department of Bioshymedical Sciences It was assembled with University funds contributed by ove OAC CBS and CPS

Like x-rays or ultrasound MRr Jets researchers look inside the body without us ing surgery But similarshyities srop there

Whereas x-rays involve low-level radiation and are essentially snapshyshots of dense matter such as bone MRl pictures are obtained through the usc of harmless magnetism by recording how the bodys hydrogens align in the presence of a magnetic field produced by the MRI unit This alignment can be translated into unprecedented pictures of areas like rhe hrain heart or lungs shywherever there is soft t issue or fat which has high concentrations of hydrogens

Like MRI ultrasound offers more than pictures of bone but ultrashysound technology cannot provide the detail ohvious in MRI images By using a sensor that can be pinshypointed anywhere along the axis of an animal placed inside a magnetic chamber magnetic resonance imagshying can isolate and depict extremely thin slices of the subject Tissue and fat appear as distinctly different bright areas in the MRI image

Research projects direltled by Professors Janzen Tammy Bray Nutritiona l Sciences and Fred Braller Chemistry and Biochemistry are already under way at the MRI facility The first series involves rats as models fo r liver and lung diseases including the effect on the liver of alcohol and toxic chemicals like chlorocarbons found in dryshycleaning fluids and the influence of mineral deficient dieb on the lung

The availahility of the MRI unit means the progre~s of diseases can be studied without having to ellthanshyize anima ls or conduct inva -ive surgery

Prafes or Janzen says MR[ will become an important tool for enhancing animal research and diagnostic work at the Univers ity The procedures we are develuping will advance the welfare of animals

DEADLY BACTERIA QUICKLY IDENTIFIED WITH NEW KIT

By Owen Roberts Office of Research

A research team Jed by Micro shybiology Professor Joseph Lam has lIevelopnl a lIiagnostic kit that can quickly idcntify a bacteria gro up known to cause fatal infections in some hospita l patients in a m atte r of days The kit is composell o f monoclonal antibodies that can illentifyall 1- straim of the dead ly baClerium Pseudolllollas aerugillOsa

antibiotics lI1d antiseptics Spcell is imperative in identifying the hacteriums presence to prevent its spreading

Convemional illemificaliol1 which involve~ culturing hacteria from the palients blood or sputum takes a least 12 hours Profe~sor Lams kit reduces the test period to Jess than five minutes

Tbe kit consists of 17 kinds of

monoclonal amibodies produced from clones of antibody-producing ce lls spec ific to each strain o f bacterium Ind ividual ant ibodies are attrdcted 10 their own specific bacshyterium where they settle in clumps As well ant ibodies from the kit can be attached 10 chemicals that will flouresce under ult raviolet light

By observing either the clumping reaction between a patients blood or sputum sample and the various ant ibodies from the kit or studying the sample under the microscope medical personnel ca n determine the strain of bacterium

MASSEY COFFEE SHOP

REUNION PLANNED

T he Massey Hall coffee shop may not be one of the reasons studel1ls choose to attend the niversity of Guelph but by the time they grad shyuate it is often among their fo ndest memories of campus life

The coffee shop was eswblished in the 1950s and has gone through several changcs over the years At one time or another it feat ured various forms o f entertainment in shycluding juke box pinball machines and movies These are gone now but the shops plt pularity remai ns

A group of students recently polled at the shop gave a variety of reasons for this popularity It s the oatmeal muffins said one 0 its the scones argued another Its the friend ly staff someone else spoke up Others com mented on the homey relaxed atmosphere and great prices

Barbara Buczek manager of the shop says the staffs friend li nes~ may be due to the mother instinct She explains A lot o f our students dont get home often so we like to make them feel at home when they come in here

A few alumni poUed think its the Danish pastries that make the shop great Janet Land Arts 80 now a p rofessional actress recalls The high light of my week was Monday morning drama classes Wed start with co ffee and those delic io us Danishes from Massey Hall and then run through our exercises

Richard Buck OAC 76A recalls sharing Danishes in the shop w ith his wife Barbara Brandon Arts 77 They were just too big for o ne person [0 eat alone he explains

Sarah (Wyatt) Nadalin Arts 82 remembers the shop as a way to get acquainted with studems in other areas of study You ended up w it h friends you wouldnt have known

otherwise They werc your coffee shop friends It was also a great place [0 talk informally with your professors

Professor Richard Phidd Political Studies agrees There is no sense of h iemrchy in the coffee shop so a more informal communication process can take place between facu lt y and students

Professor Phidd says the homey environmem and small wblc groupshyings b ring people closer together You meet peoplc on a personal level There is a ense of community

and a sense of tradition Its a re latively unique thing on campus I oftm take viSitors there just for the differen t environment

If you feel nostalgic for the Massey coffee shop you can take part in a rcunion there during Alumn i Week shyend Saturday June 17 from I to -i pm Just fill in the Alumni Weekend registration form in this issue of the Guelph Alunlllils to let us know you will ttke pan Come back to campus and reminisce with your old friends over ome de licious Masey muffin

FACS GRAD MONITORS CHILDRENS NUTRITION IN AFRICA

By Christopher Nea l cusa Communicat ions O fficer

Josie Vespa FACS S3 is up mos t mornings at dawn for a day trip to one of 12 villages in the northern province of Sierra Leone a tropica l forest nation of four mill ion in West Africa She has been a CUSO coshyoperant there since 1986

She begins her days by meeting with tbe village chief to give greetings and tell him we (she bas an African partner) want to weigh the young ch ildren to see how they are growing

He responds by dispatching the town crier who dashes about the mud houses announcing her arrival When the village women gather Josie weighs their children leads them in songs about nutrition or demonstrates preparation of food suitable for children starting to eat solids

It is important work in the Bombali District as josie has found up to one-quarter of the children under five are malnourished This stunts their growth impairs their mental development and leaves them prone to widespread diarrhea and malaria

Josie and her colleagues have also found most malnourishment cases arise in (he ~econd half of a baby s first year when solid foods are added to breastmilk They are invesshytigat ing exactly what cau cs the growth faltering in order to fomlulate health education strategies that will become part of a national nutrition system developed by a committee of nutritionists from across Sierra Leone

Before her contract in Sierra Leone Josie had a CUSO posting at a igerian school for the hearingshyimpaired and blind At the same time she gave health talks to pregshynant women and mothers of small chilLiren

Between that posting and her present one Josie returned to

JOSie Vespa FACS 83 consulting leitb lillagers ill Sierra Leone

Health care workers are fooling themsdves if they think they can understand nutrition problems just by obserYing them in the clinic conshysultation rOom she says

In Sierra Leone where CUSO has 15 co-opcrants Josie hclicyes she has helped developmcnt take place n small communities families tOok the firs t step in trying to solve child health problems she says And develupment took place at a national level when the government decided to institute nutrition activities

Josie is now training a Sierra Leonian for the nutrition ist s job in B0111hal i District All hough Ii fc in the villag of Binkolo has been without luxuries like transportation and toothpaste Josie says she will miss the illagcr~ when ~he leave

Oyer 60000 Canadians contribute every year to CUSO b donating money time or skills founded in 1961 CUSO has ~enL 9000 co-opershyants abroaLi and now funds more than 250 projectgt in developing countries

BIBLIOGRAPHY TO BENEFIT

MANY University school and community libraries in Wellington County hae been presented with a new biblioshygraphy of historical books brochures and essays about the region

Guelpb and Wellington COlIII) A Bibliography 0 Settlement and Development since 1800 wil l beneshyfit local teachers s tudent~ genealoshygiSts archivists municipa l offices museum staff and heritage groups

The 350-page volume wa~ comshypiled as the first step in a UniverSity o f Guelph research effort to study the Upper Grand Valley region be Guelph Regional Project was inishyt iated by Professor Gil Stelter History who chairs a faculL y group interested in re earch on the regio n The project has been funded since 1987 by a Un ie rsi t y research excdlcnce gram

The special ed ition prese11led to

county libraries schools museums and archives was made poss ible by a donation from John Sutherland and Sons Ltd of Guelph which provided funds for hinding This gift was crucial in making the bibliography aailable promptly to

users in the wider comm uni ty say~ Professor Elizabeth Bloomfield Geography who co -ordinated product ion Mary Su therland says the donation by her familys com shypany was modest compared to the Univer ity s efforts

The Guelph Regional Project will n xt publish a compilation o f pershysonal and fa m ily data based on the biographies in the 1906 Wellington County atlas and a volume of maps illustrating territoria l orgll1ization of the region since 1800

In addi t ion to providing an inforshymatio n base of primary and seconshydary source materials on Vellington County rhe Guelph Regional Project represents a model approach to the study of local and regional history that might be usefll l in other regions

NEW DIAGNOSTIC FACILITY HEIGHTENS ANIMAL WELFARE

GueljJh researchers can take an inside Look at Lille pLants and animals thanks to a new magnetic resonance imaging facility in the Department ofBiomedical Sciences Above in front of the facilitys magnetic cha mber are facility opershyliars Rheal Towner and Uwe Oehler

by enabling veterinarians to bener and more quickly diagnose problems like neurological dbease he says Some of the problems studied here could be models for human diseases and affl ictions as wel l

The limiting factor in the facility s ability to conduct research and offer diagnosis is the size of the unit s magnet and its associated frequency At present the chamber can accommodate nothing larger than Cats or puppies

Professor Janzen is applying for assistance to increase the chamber s size by SO per cent which he says will accommodate most pets requirshying MRI diagnostic ervices ll1d render better MRI images through the usc of hight[ frequencies

By O wen Roberts Office of Research

OfCanadian universities offering veterinary and animal science programs Guelph is first to have magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) a non-surgical radiation-free techshynology that offers new levels of diagnostic information

The S13-million MRl faCility under the direction of Professor Ed Janzen Chemistry and Biochemistry is located in the Department of Bioshymedical Sciences It was assembled with University funds contributed by ove OAC CBS and CPS

Like x-rays or ultrasound MRr Jets researchers look inside the body without us ing surgery But similarshyities srop there

Whereas x-rays involve low-level radiation and are essentially snapshyshots of dense matter such as bone MRl pictures are obtained through the usc of harmless magnetism by recording how the bodys hydrogens align in the presence of a magnetic field produced by the MRI unit This alignment can be translated into unprecedented pictures of areas like rhe hrain heart or lungs shywherever there is soft t issue or fat which has high concentrations of hydrogens

Like MRI ultrasound offers more than pictures of bone but ultrashysound technology cannot provide the detail ohvious in MRI images By using a sensor that can be pinshypointed anywhere along the axis of an animal placed inside a magnetic chamber magnetic resonance imagshying can isolate and depict extremely thin slices of the subject Tissue and fat appear as distinctly different bright areas in the MRI image

Research projects direltled by Professors Janzen Tammy Bray Nutritiona l Sciences and Fred Braller Chemistry and Biochemistry are already under way at the MRI facility The first series involves rats as models fo r liver and lung diseases including the effect on the liver of alcohol and toxic chemicals like chlorocarbons found in dryshycleaning fluids and the influence of mineral deficient dieb on the lung

The availahility of the MRI unit means the progre~s of diseases can be studied without having to ellthanshyize anima ls or conduct inva -ive surgery

Prafes or Janzen says MR[ will become an important tool for enhancing animal research and diagnostic work at the Univers ity The procedures we are develuping will advance the welfare of animals

Convemional illemificaliol1 which involve~ culturing hacteria from the palients blood or sputum takes a least 12 hours Profe~sor Lams kit reduces the test period to Jess than five minutes

Tbe kit consists of 17 kinds of

MASSEY COFFEE SHOP

REUNION PLANNED

T he Massey Hall coffee shop may not be one of the reasons studel1ls choose to attend the niversity of Guelph but by the time they grad shyuate it is often among their fo ndest memories of campus life

The coffee shop was eswblished in the 1950s and has gone through several changcs over the years At one time or another it feat ured various forms o f entertainment in shycluding juke box pinball machines and movies These are gone now but the shops plt pularity remai ns

A group of students recently polled at the shop gave a variety of reasons for this popularity It s the oatmeal muffins said one 0 its the scones argued another Its the friend ly staff someone else spoke up Others com mented on the homey relaxed atmosphere and great prices

Barbara Buczek manager of the shop says the staffs friend li nes~ may be due to the mother instinct She explains A lot o f our students dont get home often so we like to make them feel at home when they come in here

Professor Richard Phidd Political Studies agrees There is no sense of h iemrchy in the coffee shop so a more informal communication process can take place between facu lt y and students

FACS GRAD MONITORS CHILDRENS NUTRITION IN AFRICA

By Christopher Nea l cusa Communicat ions O fficer

Josie Vespa FACS S3 is up mos t mornings at dawn for a day trip to one of 12 villages in the northern province of Sierra Leone a tropica l forest nation of four mill ion in West Africa She has been a CUSO coshyoperant there since 1986

She begins her days by meeting with tbe village chief to give greetings and tell him we (she bas an African partner) want to weigh the young ch ildren to see how they are growing

He responds by dispatching the town crier who dashes about the mud houses announcing her arrival When the village women gather Josie weighs their children leads them in songs about nutrition or demonstrates preparation of food suitable for children starting to eat solids

It is important work in the Bombali District as josie has found up to one-quarter of the children under five are malnourished This stunts their growth impairs their mental development and leaves them prone to widespread diarrhea and malaria

Josie and her colleagues have also found most malnourishment cases arise in (he ~econd half of a baby s first year when solid foods are added to breastmilk They are invesshytigat ing exactly what cau cs the growth faltering in order to fomlulate health education strategies that will become part of a national nutrition system developed by a committee of nutritionists from across Sierra Leone

BIBLIOGRAPHY TO BENEFIT

MANY University school and community libraries in Wellington County hae been presented with a new biblioshygraphy of historical books brochures and essays about the region

Guelpb and Wellington COlIII) A Bibliography 0 Settlement and Development since 1800 wil l beneshyfit local teachers s tudent~ genealoshygiSts archivists municipa l offices museum staff and heritage groups

The 350-page volume wa~ comshypiled as the first step in a UniverSity o f Guelph research effort to study the Upper Grand Valley region be Guelph Regional Project was inishyt iated by Professor Gil Stelter History who chairs a faculL y group interested in re earch on the regio n The project has been funded since 1987 by a Un ie rsi t y research excdlcnce gram

The special ed ition prese11led to

county libraries schools museums and archives was made poss ible by a donation from John Sutherland and Sons Ltd of Guelph which provided funds for hinding This gift was crucial in making the bibliography aailable promptly to

users in the wider comm uni ty say~ Professor Elizabeth Bloomfield Geography who co -ordinated product ion Mary Su therland says the donation by her familys com shypany was modest compared to the Univer ity s efforts

The Guelph Regional Project will n xt publish a compilation o f pershysonal and fa m ily data based on the biographies in the 1906 Wellington County atlas and a volume of maps illustrating territoria l orgll1ization of the region since 1800

In addi t ion to providing an inforshymatio n base of primary and seconshydary source materials on Vellington County rhe Guelph Regional Project represents a model approach to the study of local and regional history that might be usefll l in other regions

NEW DIAGNOSTIC FACILITY HEIGHTENS ANIMAL WELFARE

GueljJh researchers can take an inside Look at Lille pLants and animals thanks to a new magnetic resonance imaging facility in the Department ofBiomedical Sciences Above in front of the facilitys magnetic cha mber are facility opershyliars Rheal Towner and Uwe Oehler

by enabling veterinarians to bener and more quickly diagnose problems like neurological dbease he says Some of the problems studied here could be models for human diseases and affl ictions as wel l

The limiting factor in the facility s ability to conduct research and offer diagnosis is the size of the unit s magnet and its associated frequency At present the chamber can accommodate nothing larger than Cats or puppies

Professor Janzen is applying for assistance to increase the chamber s size by SO per cent which he says will accommodate most pets requirshying MRI diagnostic ervices ll1d render better MRI images through the usc of hight[ frequencies

By O wen Roberts Office of Research

OfCanadian universities offering veterinary and animal science programs Guelph is first to have magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) a non-surgical radiation-free techshynology that offers new levels of diagnostic information

The S13-million MRl faCility under the direction of Professor Ed Janzen Chemistry and Biochemistry is located in the Department of Bioshymedical Sciences It was assembled with University funds contributed by ove OAC CBS and CPS

Like x-rays or ultrasound MRr Jets researchers look inside the body without us ing surgery But similarshyities srop there

Whereas x-rays involve low-level radiation and are essentially snapshyshots of dense matter such as bone MRl pictures are obtained through the usc of harmless magnetism by recording how the bodys hydrogens align in the presence of a magnetic field produced by the MRI unit This alignment can be translated into unprecedented pictures of areas like rhe hrain heart or lungs shywherever there is soft t issue or fat which has high concentrations of hydrogens

Like MRI ultrasound offers more than pictures of bone but ultrashysound technology cannot provide the detail ohvious in MRI images By using a sensor that can be pinshypointed anywhere along the axis of an animal placed inside a magnetic chamber magnetic resonance imagshying can isolate and depict extremely thin slices of the subject Tissue and fat appear as distinctly different bright areas in the MRI image

Research projects direltled by Professors Janzen Tammy Bray Nutritiona l Sciences and Fred Braller Chemistry and Biochemistry are already under way at the MRI facility The first series involves rats as models fo r liver and lung diseases including the effect on the liver of alcohol and toxic chemicals like chlorocarbons found in dryshycleaning fluids and the influence of mineral deficient dieb on the lung

The availahility of the MRI unit means the progre~s of diseases can be studied without having to ellthanshyize anima ls or conduct inva -ive surgery

Prafes or Janzen says MR[ will become an important tool for enhancing animal research and diagnostic work at the Univers ity The procedures we are develuping will advance the welfare of animals

NEW DIAGNOSTIC FACILITY HEIGHTENS ANIMAL WELFARE

GueljJh researchers can take an inside Look at Lille pLants and animals thanks to a new magnetic resonance imaging facility in the Department ofBiomedical Sciences Above in front of the facilitys magnetic cha mber are facility opershyliars Rheal Towner and Uwe Oehler

by enabling veterinarians to bener and more quickly diagnose problems like neurological dbease he says Some of the problems studied here could be models for human diseases and affl ictions as wel l

The limiting factor in the facility s ability to conduct research and offer diagnosis is the size of the unit s magnet and its associated frequency At present the chamber can accommodate nothing larger than Cats or puppies

Professor Janzen is applying for assistance to increase the chamber s size by SO per cent which he says will accommodate most pets requirshying MRI diagnostic ervices ll1d render better MRI images through the usc of hight[ frequencies

By O wen Roberts Office of Research

OfCanadian universities offering veterinary and animal science programs Guelph is first to have magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) a non-surgical radiation-free techshynology that offers new levels of diagnostic information

The S13-million MRl faCility under the direction of Professor Ed Janzen Chemistry and Biochemistry is located in the Department of Bioshymedical Sciences It was assembled with University funds contributed by ove OAC CBS and CPS

Like x-rays or ultrasound MRr Jets researchers look inside the body without us ing surgery But similarshyities srop there

Whereas x-rays involve low-level radiation and are essentially snapshyshots of dense matter such as bone MRl pictures are obtained through the usc of harmless magnetism by recording how the bodys hydrogens align in the presence of a magnetic field produced by the MRI unit This alignment can be translated into unprecedented pictures of areas like rhe hrain heart or lungs shywherever there is soft t issue or fat which has high concentrations of hydrogens

Like MRI ultrasound offers more than pictures of bone but ultrashysound technology cannot provide the detail ohvious in MRI images By using a sensor that can be pinshypointed anywhere along the axis of an animal placed inside a magnetic chamber magnetic resonance imagshying can isolate and depict extremely thin slices of the subject Tissue and fat appear as distinctly different bright areas in the MRI image

Research projects direltled by Professors Janzen Tammy Bray Nutritiona l Sciences and Fred Braller Chemistry and Biochemistry are already under way at the MRI facility The first series involves rats as models fo r liver and lung diseases including the effect on the liver of alcohol and toxic chemicals like chlorocarbons found in dryshycleaning fluids and the influence of mineral deficient dieb on the lung

The availahility of the MRI unit means the progre~s of diseases can be studied without having to ellthanshyize anima ls or conduct inva -ive surgery

Prafes or Janzen says MR[ will become an important tool for enhancing animal research and diagnostic work at the Univers ity The procedures we are develuping will advance the welfare of animals

DEADLY BACTERIA QUICKLY IDENTIFIED WITH NEW KIT

By Owen Roberts Office of Research

A research team Jed by Micro shybiology Professor Joseph Lam has lIevelopnl a lIiagnostic kit that can quickly idcntify a bacteria gro up known to cause fatal infections in some hospita l patients in a m atte r of days The kit is composell o f monoclonal antibodies that can illentifyall 1- straim of the dead ly baClerium Pseudolllollas aerugillOsa

Typicall y Pseudomonas i nade~

humans whosc immune systems are suppressell inoperative or in shock - such as burn victims cmcer patients and people undergoing transplants It cause~ high fever ti ssue damage and pneumon ia Treatment i~ difficull hecause the bacterium is highly resistant LO

antibiotics lI1d antiseptics Spcell is imperative in identifying the hacteriums presence to prevent its spreading

Convemional illemificaliol1 which involve~ culturing hacteria from the palients blood or sputum takes a least 12 hours Profe~sor Lams kit reduces the test period to Jess than five minutes

Tbe kit consists of 17 kinds of

monoclonal amibodies produced from clones of antibody-producing ce lls spec ific to each strain o f bacterium Ind ividual ant ibodies are attrdcted 10 their own specific bacshyterium where they settle in clumps As well ant ibodies from the kit can be attached 10 chemicals that will flouresce under ult raviolet light

By observing either the clumping reaction between a patients blood or sputum sample and the various ant ibodies from the kit or studying the sample under the microscope medical personnel ca n determine the strain of bacterium

The kit 10 retail for about $500 can be used to analyse up to sao samples The UnivelSity is negotiating marketing rights fo r conuncrciaJ disshytribution w ith a private company

Professor Lam s research is supported by the Medi cal Research Council of Canada and the Natura l Sciences and Engineering Research Council He is now concentrating on using the ant ibodies as probes to stud y cell su rfaces o f the various Pseudomonas a eruginosa bacteria 10 create a vaccine 10 prevent the infection by he lp ing 10 kill the organ ism

NEW DIAGNOSTIC FACILITY HEIGHTENS ANIMAL WELFARE

GueljJh researchers can take an inside Look at Lille pLants and animals thanks to a new magnetic resonance imaging facility in the Department ofBiomedical Sciences Above in front of the facilitys magnetic cha mber are facility opershyliars Rheal Towner and Uwe Oehler

by enabling veterinarians to bener and more quickly diagnose problems like neurological dbease he says Some of the problems studied here could be models for human diseases and affl ictions as wel l

The limiting factor in the facility s ability to conduct research and offer diagnosis is the size of the unit s magnet and its associated frequency At present the chamber can accommodate nothing larger than Cats or puppies

Professor Janzen is applying for assistance to increase the chamber s size by SO per cent which he says will accommodate most pets requirshying MRI diagnostic ervices ll1d render better MRI images through the usc of hight[ frequencies

By O wen Roberts Office of Research

OfCanadian universities offering veterinary and animal science programs Guelph is first to have magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) a non-surgical radiation-free techshynology that offers new levels of diagnostic information

The S13-million MRl faCility under the direction of Professor Ed Janzen Chemistry and Biochemistry is located in the Department of Bioshymedical Sciences It was assembled with University funds contributed by ove OAC CBS and CPS

Like x-rays or ultrasound MRr Jets researchers look inside the body without us ing surgery But similarshyities srop there

Whereas x-rays involve low-level radiation and are essentially snapshyshots of dense matter such as bone MRl pictures are obtained through the usc of harmless magnetism by recording how the bodys hydrogens align in the presence of a magnetic field produced by the MRI unit This alignment can be translated into unprecedented pictures of areas like rhe hrain heart or lungs shywherever there is soft t issue or fat which has high concentrations of hydrogens

Like MRI ultrasound offers more than pictures of bone but ultrashysound technology cannot provide the detail ohvious in MRI images By using a sensor that can be pinshypointed anywhere along the axis of an animal placed inside a magnetic chamber magnetic resonance imagshying can isolate and depict extremely thin slices of the subject Tissue and fat appear as distinctly different bright areas in the MRI image

Research projects direltled by Professors Janzen Tammy Bray Nutritiona l Sciences and Fred Braller Chemistry and Biochemistry are already under way at the MRI facility The first series involves rats as models fo r liver and lung diseases including the effect on the liver of alcohol and toxic chemicals like chlorocarbons found in dryshycleaning fluids and the influence of mineral deficient dieb on the lung

The availahility of the MRI unit means the progre~s of diseases can be studied without having to ellthanshyize anima ls or conduct inva -ive surgery

Prafes or Janzen says MR[ will become an important tool for enhancing animal research and diagnostic work at the Univers ity The procedures we are develuping will advance the welfare of animals

DEADLY BACTERIA QUICKLY IDENTIFIED WITH NEW KIT

By Owen Roberts Office of Research

A research team Jed by Micro shybiology Professor Joseph Lam has lIevelopnl a lIiagnostic kit that can quickly idcntify a bacteria gro up known to cause fatal infections in some hospita l patients in a m atte r of days The kit is composell o f monoclonal antibodies that can illentifyall 1- straim of the dead ly baClerium Pseudolllollas aerugillOsa

Typicall y Pseudomonas i nade~

humans whosc immune systems are suppressell inoperative or in shock - such as burn victims cmcer patients and people undergoing transplants It cause~ high fever ti ssue damage and pneumon ia Treatment i~ difficull hecause the bacterium is highly resistant LO

antibiotics lI1d antiseptics Spcell is imperative in identifying the hacteriums presence to prevent its spreading

Convemional illemificaliol1 which involve~ culturing hacteria from the palients blood or sputum takes a least 12 hours Profe~sor Lams kit reduces the test period to Jess than five minutes

Tbe kit consists of 17 kinds of

monoclonal amibodies produced from clones of antibody-producing ce lls spec ific to each strain o f bacterium Ind ividual ant ibodies are attrdcted 10 their own specific bacshyterium where they settle in clumps As well ant ibodies from the kit can be attached 10 chemicals that will flouresce under ult raviolet light

By observing either the clumping reaction between a patients blood or sputum sample and the various ant ibodies from the kit or studying the sample under the microscope medical personnel ca n determine the strain of bacterium

The kit 10 retail for about $500 can be used to analyse up to sao samples The UnivelSity is negotiating marketing rights fo r conuncrciaJ disshytribution w ith a private company

Professor Lam s research is supported by the Medi cal Research Council of Canada and the Natura l Sciences and Engineering Research Council He is now concentrating on using the ant ibodies as probes to stud y cell su rfaces o f the various Pseudomonas a eruginosa bacteria 10 create a vaccine 10 prevent the infection by he lp ing 10 kill the organ ism

BIBLIOGRAPHY TO BENEFIT

MANY University school and community libraries in Wellington County hae been presented with a new biblioshygraphy of historical books brochures and essays about the region

Guelpb and Wellington COlIII) A Bibliography 0 Settlement and Development since 1800 wil l beneshyfit local teachers s tudent~ genealoshygiSts archivists municipa l offices museum staff and heritage groups

The 350-page volume wa~ comshypiled as the first step in a UniverSity o f Guelph research effort to study the Upper Grand Valley region be Guelph Regional Project was inishyt iated by Professor Gil Stelter History who chairs a faculL y group interested in re earch on the regio n The project has been funded since 1987 by a Un ie rsi t y research excdlcnce gram

The special ed ition prese11led to

county libraries schools museums and archives was made poss ible by a donation from John Sutherland and Sons Ltd of Guelph which provided funds for hinding This gift was crucial in making the bibliography aailable promptly to

users in the wider comm uni ty say~ Professor Elizabeth Bloomfield Geography who co -ordinated product ion Mary Su therland says the donation by her familys com shypany was modest compared to the Univer ity s efforts

The Guelph Regional Project will n xt publish a compilation o f pershysonal and fa m ily data based on the biographies in the 1906 Wellington County atlas and a volume of maps illustrating territoria l orgll1ization of the region since 1800

In addi t ion to providing an inforshymatio n base of primary and seconshydary source materials on Vellington County rhe Guelph Regional Project represents a model approach to the study of local and regional history that might be usefll l in other regions

NEW DIAGNOSTIC FACILITY HEIGHTENS ANIMAL WELFARE

GueljJh researchers can take an inside Look at Lille pLants and animals thanks to a new magnetic resonance imaging facility in the Department ofBiomedical Sciences Above in front of the facilitys magnetic cha mber are facility opershyliars Rheal Towner and Uwe Oehler

by enabling veterinarians to bener and more quickly diagnose problems like neurological dbease he says Some of the problems studied here could be models for human diseases and affl ictions as wel l

The limiting factor in the facility s ability to conduct research and offer diagnosis is the size of the unit s magnet and its associated frequency At present the chamber can accommodate nothing larger than Cats or puppies

Professor Janzen is applying for assistance to increase the chamber s size by SO per cent which he says will accommodate most pets requirshying MRI diagnostic ervices ll1d render better MRI images through the usc of hight[ frequencies

By O wen Roberts Office of Research

OfCanadian universities offering veterinary and animal science programs Guelph is first to have magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) a non-surgical radiation-free techshynology that offers new levels of diagnostic information

The S13-million MRl faCility under the direction of Professor Ed Janzen Chemistry and Biochemistry is located in the Department of Bioshymedical Sciences It was assembled with University funds contributed by ove OAC CBS and CPS

Like x-rays or ultrasound MRr Jets researchers look inside the body without us ing surgery But similarshyities srop there

Whereas x-rays involve low-level radiation and are essentially snapshyshots of dense matter such as bone MRl pictures are obtained through the usc of harmless magnetism by recording how the bodys hydrogens align in the presence of a magnetic field produced by the MRI unit This alignment can be translated into unprecedented pictures of areas like rhe hrain heart or lungs shywherever there is soft t issue or fat which has high concentrations of hydrogens

Like MRI ultrasound offers more than pictures of bone but ultrashysound technology cannot provide the detail ohvious in MRI images By using a sensor that can be pinshypointed anywhere along the axis of an animal placed inside a magnetic chamber magnetic resonance imagshying can isolate and depict extremely thin slices of the subject Tissue and fat appear as distinctly different bright areas in the MRI image

Research projects direltled by Professors Janzen Tammy Bray Nutritiona l Sciences and Fred Braller Chemistry and Biochemistry are already under way at the MRI facility The first series involves rats as models fo r liver and lung diseases including the effect on the liver of alcohol and toxic chemicals like chlorocarbons found in dryshycleaning fluids and the influence of mineral deficient dieb on the lung

The availahility of the MRI unit means the progre~s of diseases can be studied without having to ellthanshyize anima ls or conduct inva -ive surgery

Prafes or Janzen says MR[ will become an important tool for enhancing animal research and diagnostic work at the Univers ity The procedures we are develuping will advance the welfare of animals

This is quite possible if Roberta Bondar OAC 68 is selected over fellow Canadian Ken Money to fill Canadas position on the firM intershynational microgrJvity laboratory space shuttle flight in 1991 The final choice will be m~lde by the end o f the year

Dr Bondar is on leave as assistant professor of medicine (neurology) at McMaster L1niversity liamilton If chosen for [he nine-day mission she will conduct experiments to test efshyfects of weightlessness 011 the human brain with panicular empha~is on balance and taste sensitivity She took time out from training at NASA headquarters in Houston to launch the Universitys 25th anniversary achievers serie~ in February The series featuregt alumni speakers who haye excelled in their professions

While proudly Aearing her OAC 68 sweater Dr Bondar told her Guelph audience thal experiments to be carrkd out vhen the next Canadian urbits the Earth will be a chance for ~cientists around the world to measure Canadian talent Well be inoled with scientists from Europe Japan and the United States in this It s an important chance for Canada to show how credible we arc to the world

Dr Bondu said the Canad ian Astronaut Program is one way fo r Canada to stay in touch with the latest developments in technology and to make some of those developmenls in this country We cant work in isolation any longer Space is one of the ways for us to pull international relations closer together

( ithou( taking part in new tech shynology developments Dr Bondar said Canada would have to rely on other countries to keep its indu~trics and unier~itiegt up-toshydate If we don t stay involved in

new developments we will become a Third World country

On the world stage Dr Bondar said Canadian scientists are known for producing top-rate communica shytions equipment and the famous Canadarm - the robotic arm that is an integral part o f the ~pace shuttle Canada has ~ome niches in the space science community no

one else can fill The challenge is for us LO act as credible scientists in th is

Dr Bondar admitted all future space shuttle flights will be carried out in the shadow of the 1986 Challenger explosion which killed seven crew members We can only minimize risks we cannot comshypletely get rid of them she said

After graduating from OAC with a RSc in zoology Dr Bondar earned all MSc ill experimenwl pathology from The University of Western OntariO a PhD ill neurohiology from the University of Toronto and a Doctor of Medicine from McMaster Besides her professorsh ip at McMaster she was appointed direc shytor of the Multiple Sclerosis Clinic for Hamilton -Wentworth Region in 1982 She is a civil aviation medica l examiner a member of the Ontario Premiers Council on Science and Technology a research fellow at Sunnybrook Hospital and a stroke ne u ro -op h tlla Imo log y research fellow at Toronto Western Hospital

PHYSICS PROFESSOR NAMED RESEARCHER OF DISTINCTION

Professor Peter Egelstaff Physics has been named the Universitys first Researcher of Distinction

The award commemorates the niversity s 2)tl1 anniversary recogshy

nizing the sign ificanl role scientists haye played in its development

Profe~sor Egelstaff is a role model for our young researchers on campus to follow says President Brian Segal who along with Dean of Research Larry Milligan hosteltl a Jinner for Professor Egelstaff and his family at the President s House

Professor Egclstaff was recomshymended for the citation by the Universitys Research Board He is a pioneer in neutron scallcring shythe plltlctice of bombarding selected material with a beam of neutrons [ 0

study the distinctive paturns they make when they bounce off The process itself does negligible damage to the subject matter and the patterns reveal information about the atomic and molecular structure and dynamic~ of the materia l that

would otherwise be impossible to ohtain

Professor Egelstaff became leader of a group at Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd in Chalk River in 1957 which built Ihe first phased rotor neutron spectrometer and made the firs t comprehensive measurements of the thermal neutron scattering law of reacror moderator mater ial This rtsearch was part of the refinement of the highly respected CANOe reactor

Professor Egelstaff pioneered techshyniques such as inelastic neutron scattering to investigate the dynamics of simple liquids and wi th collashyborators revised and improved methods of studying the structure of liquid metals and alloys H is work is credi ted w ith enlarging the versa tility of neutron scattering in other areas especially the field of physical chemistry

Professor Egelstaff came to Guelph in 1970 as chair Department of PhYSics Wh ile leading the departshyment through five formative years

Professor Peter Egelstaff

he maintained his research interest using an electron linear accelerator at the University of Toronto as a neutron source

At the same time he helped refine the precision of neutron diffraction measurements on fluids through the development of a new instrument at Chalk Rivers NRU reaClor This work was complemented by a collashyborltltive program at the Institut Laue-Langevi n in Grenoble which continues

Most recently Professor Egelstaff and his co llaborators developed a progrJm of computer simulations of simple fluids to complement their experimental program of s[1tic and dynamic structure factor measureshyments He is also involved in an effort to upgrade the reactor at McMaster University which would offer local researchers a realtlily availab le location for neutron scat teri ng resea reh

SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING JOINS CPS The School of Engineering has a new home It is still located in the Thornbrough building where it has been since 1973 But it is no longer part of OAC faculty staff and stushydents movcd May I to the College of Physical Science which wi ll be renamed to include engineering

The move was sparked by recomshymendations of a Senate-appo inted task force that examined the role and future of the School last year Thc task force initially recommended the School be made a separate College but that was deemed unshyfeasible because of its small size As an alternative Engi neering facu lty unanimously proposed a change in Colleges a move that was conshyidered in the past because of close

links between the School and CPS

Professor Bill James the School s new director thinks the switch to CPS will be a w inning combination I t will give faculty and students a new sense of purpose and direction Well be repackaging our courses and offering new programs which will help make the School more visible As a result we hope to attract more students especially gifted ones as well as more funding fo r research

With the move from OAC agrishyculture wi ll no longer appear to be the sole focus of the School says Professor James AgriculturAl enshygineering wil remain an integral part of the program but the number of majors w ill double increasing the School s scope In addition to the current majors of water resources

and hiological engineering the School hopes to offer programs in environmental food and informashytion engineering

Guelph has the only accredited water resources engineering program in the country and is the besl engineering school in Canada in the area of rural resources and environshymental biology says Professor James With new programs in p lace Guelph should appeal to a wider range of engineering students and researchers tban traditional engineering

Relocated in CPS the School can collaborate more with the departshyments of Mathematics and StatistiCS Physics and Computing and Inforshymation Science

PHYSICS PROFESSOR NAMED RESEARCHER OF DISTINCTION

Professor Peter Egelstaff Physics has been named the Universitys first Researcher of Distinction

The award commemorates the niversity s 2)tl1 anniversary recogshy

Profe~sor Egelstaff is a role model for our young researchers on campus to follow says President Brian Segal who along with Dean of Research Larry Milligan hosteltl a Jinner for Professor Egelstaff and his family at the President s House

Professor Egclstaff was recomshymended for the citation by the Universitys Research Board He is a pioneer in neutron scallcring shythe plltlctice of bombarding selected material with a beam of neutrons [ 0

study the distinctive paturns they make when they bounce off The process itself does negligible damage to the subject matter and the patterns reveal information about the atomic and molecular structure and dynamic~ of the materia l that

would otherwise be impossible to ohtain

Professor Egelstaff became leader of a group at Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd in Chalk River in 1957 which built Ihe first phased rotor neutron spectrometer and made the firs t comprehensive measurements of the thermal neutron scattering law of reacror moderator mater ial This rtsearch was part of the refinement of the highly respected CANOe reactor

Professor Egelstaff pioneered techshyniques such as inelastic neutron scattering to investigate the dynamics of simple liquids and wi th collashyborators revised and improved methods of studying the structure of liquid metals and alloys H is work is credi ted w ith enlarging the versa tility of neutron scattering in other areas especially the field of physical chemistry

Professor Egelstaff came to Guelph in 1970 as chair Department of PhYSics Wh ile leading the departshyment through five formative years

Professor Peter Egelstaff

he maintained his research interest using an electron linear accelerator at the University of Toronto as a neutron source

At the same time he helped refine the precision of neutron diffraction measurements on fluids through the development of a new instrument at Chalk Rivers NRU reaClor This work was complemented by a collashyborltltive program at the Institut Laue-Langevi n in Grenoble which continues

Most recently Professor Egelstaff and his co llaborators developed a progrJm of computer simulations of simple fluids to complement their experimental program of s[1tic and dynamic structure factor measureshyments He is also involved in an effort to upgrade the reactor at McMaster University which would offer local researchers a realtlily availab le location for neutron scat teri ng resea reh

SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING JOINS CPS The School of Engineering has a new home It is still located in the Thornbrough building where it has been since 1973 But it is no longer part of OAC faculty staff and stushydents movcd May I to the College of Physical Science which wi ll be renamed to include engineering

The move was sparked by recomshymendations of a Senate-appo inted task force that examined the role and future of the School last year Thc task force initially recommended the School be made a separate College but that was deemed unshyfeasible because of its small size As an alternative Engi neering facu lty unanimously proposed a change in Colleges a move that was conshyidered in the past because of close

links between the School and CPS

Professor Bill James the School s new director thinks the switch to CPS will be a w inning combination I t will give faculty and students a new sense of purpose and direction Well be repackaging our courses and offering new programs which will help make the School more visible As a result we hope to attract more students especially gifted ones as well as more funding fo r research

With the move from OAC agrishyculture wi ll no longer appear to be the sole focus of the School says Professor James AgriculturAl enshygineering wil remain an integral part of the program but the number of majors w ill double increasing the School s scope In addition to the current majors of water resources

and hiological engineering the School hopes to offer programs in environmental food and informashytion engineering

Guelph has the only accredited water resources engineering program in the country and is the besl engineering school in Canada in the area of rural resources and environshymental biology says Professor James With new programs in p lace Guelph should appeal to a wider range of engineering students and researchers tban traditional engineering

Relocated in CPS the School can collaborate more with the departshyments of Mathematics and StatistiCS Physics and Computing and Inforshymation Science
