MINUTES, AMENDMENTS, MATTERS ARISING
------------------------------------
The splendid Grove Dictionary of Art can be found at www.groveart.com
It is not Simpsons in the Strand but Simpson's of Piccadilly
that is the new Waterstones.
The building work looks touch and go. Lonsdale Bar is still scheduled
to be finished by Saturday.
Not even the chemists know what's happening about Chemistry.
Ongoing concerns in lofty places about PRCS matters.
A reader rightly suggests that copying with total accuracy inevitably
demands some degree of understanding. i.e. learning.
1. EDITORIAL: PLAGIARISM CONCLUDED
----------------------------------
This has been superseded by Professor William's letter (see Readers'
Letters). He got the editorial answer in one, neglecting only to add
that in the dying 20th century the ease with which you can cut and
paste has changed the nature of the problem.
This is a skill to be taught. So is, most crucially, exercising
judgement on what is worth cutting and pasting, what is true and what
is not. People who set CWA that doesn't require you to do that deserve
all they get.
In France and Italy written exams merely determine whether or not you
are admitted to the oral. It's that live performance face to face that
lets the examiners discriminate and decide whether your performance is
genuine.
Oral examinations are a great boon. They streamline a process that is
threatening to drown education, interfering with its processes and
obscuring its aims.
2. NEWS
-------
DEATH: Research student in computing Jeremy Boothroyd died during a
diving trip on Coniston Water last Thursday. He was in the Graduate
College. All our sympathy goes to his family and friends.
Steve Wade writes: "The day of submitting a thesis should be a happy
day, but for me it has been sadly marred by my hearing of the untimely
death of Jez Boothroyd.
Jez had been a good friend over the two years that I'd known him,
always being one to crack a joke and bring a smile to my face on those
days when everything seemed to be going wrong. He was a very cheery
guy, even when he was down, and was never far from a giggle,
particularly when oiled by a well chosen pint or five! He had an
immense passion for diving and somehow every conversation always found
it's way round to talking about the subject. But that was fine by me -
it always great to see the spark in someones eyes when they talk about
something they really love.
On Monday night, to briefly escape from the pressures of the last
couple of days of writing up, I happened to venture into Graduate Bar
and joined Jez and Chris Agar while they planned their fateful diving
trip. They were as enthusiastic as ever of the prospect of again
plumbing the murky depths... unfortunately one of them didn't make it
back.
Chris: Best wishes for a full recovery. I sincerely hope you can live
a long and happy life and put this tragedy behind you.
Jez: RIP mate."
CONGRATULATIONS AND BEST WISHES TO NICK DANIELS (Italian and German
1998) and Rosie Heimrath (Biology) who were married in Ossett on
Saturday and are honeymooning in Sorrento.
DR ROGER PEARSON, the Hull Senior Lecturer in Economics who has been
in the news lately, is external examiner in Economic History at Lancaster.
He shares an interest in insurance history with Oliver Westall.
NEW MATTRESSES: Hundreds of thick and springy ones have been supplied
in several colleges. They are a substantial improvement on the lot that
were thrown out, but some from the north spine are being "recycled" in
Fylde. One can only speculate on the impact they will have on student
behaviour.
OPEN DAY FOR INDUSTRY: A success according to organisers. About 150
are though to have attended, some unannounced. Amusingly the captains
of industry seemed to dress down for the occasion (blazers and
jumpers). University dignitaries on the other hand were unwontedly
besuited, some tie and shirt combinations causing comment in sartorial
circles.
DEBENTURE: The VC and Mr McGregor were in London last Wednesday
in connection with debenture holders formal approval for the deal
with AMBAC.
FOR THE THIRD SUCCESSIVE INTRO WEEK the unsightly vacant premises of
Robinson's gift shop are going to be a prominent reminder to parents of
our lack of commercial expertise. When on earth is something going to
be done with these? If Robinson's had simply been allowed to stay on
the old terms we would already have had over 2 years more rent. Worse:
Independent Studies enterprising effort to use it for publicity, which
also provided a semblance of embellishment, has unaccountably been
banned. Why? By whom? Cui bono?
The coffee bar urged for the old SPAR/bookshop premises in the
Catering Review hasn't materialised either. Focus Consultants suggested
in their November report that it could be open by February. Last
February that is. Lunatic suggestions that it should be licensed need
to be discussed by a wider community. We have 10 licensed premises
already, plus the refectories.
The urgent and long overdue need is for a civilised tearoom where you
don't drink out of polystyrene and can get a cup at inconvenient times
like 9.30 or 4.30. And in the vacation. Preferably one that opens late
and is handy for the Library. Where you can take guests. Premium prices
are fine: the demand for the inconvenient Management School and
George's demonstrate that. Don't we have the resources or
resourcefulness to provide this?
UMAG: At its first meeting after the vacation UMAG discussed its own
performance and decided that it should concentrate more on strategic
issues. Some of the types of business previously discussed will be
dealt with at executive level.
ENGINEERING: Due to difficulties in recruiting to the Fisher Chair and
in view of the loss of another member of staff, it was necessary to
rethink the strategy for this Department, particularly in light of the
forthcoming IMechE and IEE accreditation visits in 2000. It was agreed,
as an interim measure, to appoint two temporary lectureships now to
ensure that teaching was covered. Further consideration would also need
to be given to the issue of leadership.
CANDO: It is still hoped that this can be "incorporated" under the
aegis of another institution adn a new Director has been approached.
This can't be done before December and the university will continue to
pay salaries until then.
ADMISSIONS: we were over target by 40-50 home undergraduates,
primarily in the Management School, Social Sciences and Arts &
Humanities. It is anticipated that all the accommodation guarantees
would be honoured. Overseas undergraduate numbers were also up and
tehre are signs postgraduate recruitment had improved. There was some
concern about the impact of the over-recruitment of undergraduates on
the MASN. Professor Davies is to "follow through" (meaning?) with
academic departments the impact of departmental admissions decisions at
Confirmation with reference to the overshoot. He is also to look at the
impact of the considerable reduction in entry requirements for
Chemistry.
ACCOMODATION: Some third year students are being asked to double up
for a few weeks to cope with the mini residence crisis. There seems to
be a shortfall of about 60 rooms.
RUSKIN: UMAG is seeking clarification of the level of the University’s
subsidy to this area. APC will consider this before F&GP's’ next
meeting In the meantime, the proposals for an MA course should continue
to be developed: it was felt that it was essential for the University
to seek "to exploit the collection more".
APC meets this week and Council next.
3. INSTRUCTIONS FOR LIFE: NEPALESE TANTRA
-----------------------------------------
To keep your thoughts on a positive wavelength. A bit reminiscent of
the phoney Kurt Vonnegut graduation address, but some nice lines hidden
among the yukkier bits.
1. Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully.
2. Memorise your favourite poem.
3. Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have, or loaf all you want.
4. When you say, "I love you," mean it.
5. When you say, "I'm sorry," look the person in the eye.
6. Be engaged at least six months before you get married.
7. Believe in love at first sight.
8. Never laugh at anyone's dreams. People who don't have dreams don't
have much.
9. Love deeply and passionately. You may get hurt, but it's the only way
to live life completely.
10. In disagreements, fight fairly. No name calling.
11. Don't judge people by their relatives, or by the life they were born
into.
12. Teach yourself to speak slowly but think quickly.
13. When someone asks you a question you don't want to answer, smile and
ask, "Why do you want to know?"
14. Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great
risk.
15. Call a relative.
16. Say "bless you" when you hear someone sneeze.
17. When you lose, don't lose the lesson.
18. Follow the three Rs: Respect for self, Respect for others,
Responsibility for all your actions.
19. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
20. When you realise you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to
correct it.
21. Smile when picking up the phone. The caller will hear it in your
voice.
22. Marry a person you love to talk to. As you get older, his/her
conversational skills will be even more important.
23. Spend some time alone.
24. Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values.
25. Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
26. Read more books. Television is no substitute.
27. Live a good, honourable life. Then when you get older and think back,
you'll be able to enjoy it a second time.
28. Trust in God but lock your car.
29. A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life. Do
all you can to create a tranquil, harmonious home.
30. In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current
situation. Don't bring up the past.
31. Don't just listen to what someone is saying. Listen to why they are
saying it.
32. Share your knowledge. It's a way to achieve immortality.
33. Be gentle with the earth.
34. Pray or meditate. There's immeasurable power in it.
35. Never interrupt when you are being flattered.
36. Mind your own business.
37. Don't trust anyone who doesn't close his/hereyes when you kiss.
38. Once a year, go someplace you've never been before.
39. If you make a lot of money, put it to use helping others while you are
living. It is wealth's greatest satisfaction.
40. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful
stroke of luck.
41. Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.
42. Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each
other exceeds your need for each other.
43. Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.
44. Live with the knowledge that your character is your destiny.
45. Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon.
4. GUEST CONTRIBUTION: MR MCGREGOR'S GARDEN, Part II
-----------------------------------------------------
Of course, as soon as Mother Rabbit had gone out, Flopsy, Mopsy,
Cotton-tail and Peter went off down the lane to see just what Mr
McGregor's garden was like.
Round it they found a thick hedge made of bonds. Peeping through a gap
they could just see Mr McGregor with his watering can. In his hand he
had a bottle of AMBAC which he was pouring into the can.
Mr McGregor walked towards the hedge. The rabbits ran away and hid.
They could hear Mr McGregor talking as he poured the strange liquid
from the watering can onto the hedge: "I don't think this stuff will
really do any good. I wonder why I ever came to this nasty garden."
Mr McGregor finished putting the strange concoction on the hedge and
went back to the shed. for a spade. The rabbits crept back to the
hedge to peer through. Mr McGregor had gone over to a big pile of debt
which was spreading all over the garden and choking the plants. He
started trying to move some big lumps of debt .....
5. READERS' LETTERS
-------------------
The visibility problem on the cycle way has a simple remedy: trim the
hedge to below cyclist's eye level (as has recently been done on the
council-maintained section). I mentioned this to a member of the ground
staff, who told me that they were under instruction not to do this as
it interfered with the VC's privacy.
Jeremy Boreham
--------------------------------
I was also in Peru this year (altitude training for Physics Relay?)
Had a great time, but one couple from our group was mugged on the first
night on Lima beach, and we ALL got ill at some point (40 people).
Alex Finch
-----------------------------
There is a nice little joke in Some Like It Hot when the gangster boss
tells his hoodlums that if the cops ask where they were on the night of
the massacre they should say they were at Rigoletto. When in due course
the cop does ask that he is told 'We was at Rigoletto's'. No doubt this
was in your mind when you referred to El Nido as El Nido's......
Gerry Cotter
DCE
[NOTE: Great line. It's amazing just how many people from Galgate and
Lancaster DO refer to it as El Nido's though. (Ed)]
-----------------------
I must record slight surprise that you find Cranks less expensive than
Pret a Manger. I buy a vegetarian pret-wrap with a two-unit fresh fruit
juice or the Cranks equivalent, at least twice a week and the latter
version costs me some 10 per cent more. The Cranks version may be
slightly larger - I have not done that analysis. The cheapest place in
the vicinity is the University of London Students Union, but they are
more populist so if you don't want junk food you have to select your
healthy options carefully.
By the way have I missed any letters from Disgusted of Bailrigg or are
you saving readers' reactions to the essays on plagiarism until the end
of the series? You seem to be making a five course meal out of a couple
of peanuts. (Albeit an entertaining and culturally satisfying
experience - like (post?)modern European cooking, which also
proliferates in Bloomsbury)
Surely the point about plagiarism is the intention of the plagiariser.
If I were appointing a poet in residence I would be unlikely to chose
someone who sent in a portfolio consisting only of beautifully copied
Psalms of David - but if these were a preliminary to some ironic parody
I would probably be swayed. The only case in which I take a severe
stand on student plagiarism is if there is an intention to mislead. One
way of removing the temptation is to revert to unseen examinations.
Another is to adopt the practice of several European countries, as you
will know, of oral examinations. Problems for external examiners of
course!

You really shouldn't risk giving the crusty old buffers who savour
their steak and oysters and spotted dick with custard at Simpsons in
the Strand instant heartburn or worse. That wonderful institution will
never be replaced by a bookshop as long as City dealers continue to
make nursery food their first choice.
It's the elegantly suited who have to mourn, for it's Simpsons in
Piccadilly, with one of the most magificent shop facades in Europe -
just like an inter-war ocean racing liner - which is the new
Waterstone's. No more the long-legged cavalry twills or deeply vented
Daks hacking jackets. Hacketts has done for Simpsons, with all its
nasty simulation of 'real British kit' that convinces the upwardly
socially mobile that they can become well dressed just by using their
plastic cards. And the brand name that graced a thousand point to
points has been sold to the Japanese.

I want to know what happens to all the furniture that is being taken
out of the student accomodation? I park on Fylde everyday and the piles
of desks and wardrobes grows all the time. They are being left out in
the weather and so, will not be much good, if left any longer but,
there are some desks that I cannot believe are being ditched. I haven't
seen any notices about their disposal. Can staff take their pick?

[NOTE: Dunno. The Grizedale mattresses were so soaked by Sunday night
I shouldn't think they're much use. (Ed)]
------------------------------------
A friend of mine in London has just told me about
a Dude in the Midlands who collects old AMSTRADS (PCWs or the
typewriter version) and sends them off to 3rd World countries where
they are used in schools, libraries and the like to train folks in
keyboard skills and all that. Other friends of mine in London have
their old AMTRADs taking up good space in their storerooms, wine
closets, etc. Bet some of you do as well.
Do any of you fellas/gels have an old AMSTRAD SIMILARLY WASTING SPACE
in your houses/offices, etc? If so, could you please let me have it?
The easiest way is for you to leave it with the PORTERS' OFFICE in
Furness. They have a key to my office and will just dump your in there
for me to collect. Leave a post-it sticker on so I know who to get
Midlands to thank and tell me/him if your machine has any funny
programs on it (like LSPRO) or if it needs any repairs. Operating
Manuals would also be appreciated, if you've still got them.

The 7.6-magnitude quake was the strongest to hit the island in more
than a decade. Although my city, Hsin-chu, is about 60 kilometer north
of the worst-hit counties (Taichung & Nantou), I was horrified by the
powerful tremor that early morning (@1:52 a.m.). The experience was
beyond all words. Unfortunately, 3 of my relatives in Taichung were
killed in this destructive earthquake.
Up to this moment, more than 7,000 aftershocks have been registered
since the initial earthquakes. We still had a very strong aftershock of
6.8 magnitude yesterday morning and then death poll rose.
I feel heartbroken at the miserable scenes on the TV reports. However,
I am very grateful for the rescue teams from many countries in time to
save many lives and a lot of local and international assistance and
contribution keep pouring in to help relieve the affected zones.
May God bless this land. Let's keep praying for Taiwan.

We (individuals/the international agencies) wish to help in times of
crisis BUT we are obliged to prioritise our efforts. It seems hard to
say it but many crises are created (or cannot be managed locally) due
to political factors that create conflict and devote available regional
resources to those rather than to development aims. We all know that
and can make reference to Bosnia a few years ago, and to Kosova more
recently.
The last few months have seen rather different local disasters. These
have been earthquakes in Turkey, Greece and Taiwan,
Can we view them as equally legitimate in requesting support. In
Turkey it appears to be the case that the local administration didn't
have the resources to enforce building standards (due to the 'national'
war with the Kurds?); in Greece it was clear that regional and national
resources had been used to avoid major earthquake disasters.
Due to its hi-tech activities, Taiwan was better able to finance its
building infrastructure than either Greece or Turkey and (it remains to
be judged) it probably did so. I do have sympathy with them more than
those regional crises which I might suggest are somewhat
self-inflicted.
