MINUTES AND MATTERS ARISING
---------------------------
Many thanks for expressions of concern about the editor's motivation
for standing down. The reasons are as stated and not at all
health-related.
Job Ad amendments: Omit the implied requirement that prospective
candidates have a partner. (See Readers' Letters.) Add: "Possession of a
high-security cupboard suitable for the indefinite storage of skeletons
is essential."
Some concerns about the feeding of the expected numbers of 6th formers
who will be attending the Education Convention days on Thursday and
Friday.
Best wishes to Prof McCaldin, whose illness continues to cause concern.
1. EDITORIAL: COMMUNITIES, GOSSIP AND NEWS
------------------------------------------
Modern management science extolls the ideal of the 'learning
organization', of which our own Professor Burgoyne is an eminent
promoter. A 'learning organization' is essentially one that constantly
and consciously adapts to change. It does this by engaging the
collaborative efforts of all staff, who are motivated to criticize and
improve.
This is a sign of strength. It is the antithesis of the traditional
Taylorist/ Fordist structures and management of dinosaur companies. In
these the mushroom method is used. In the learning organization light
reigns. Instead of having recourse to patronising authoritarianism it
seeks to enlist the imaginations and enthusiasm of ALL of its
employees, all of whom are encouraged to take an interest in all
aspects of the enterprise.
In the learning organization, gossip and news are widely disseminated.
Staff interest and curiosity are recognized as a means to loyalty,
efficiency, trust and cooperation. Criticism of working practices and
decision-making procedures are positively welcomed.
This journal was founded with just such intent long before I had heard
of 'learning organisations' and at a time when I'd prolly have dismissed
the term as bizspeak gobbledygook. I certainly don't now.
It is by the loyalty of our readership, which contains an
extraordinary proportion of "assistant staff' members, that one can
detect the craving for news of all sorts. Not just lofty matters of
acdemic principle and finance but the humbler births, marriages and
deaths as well.
These are not trivia. They constitute the common body of shared
information that makes a community cohere. They are humanizing. Silence
breeds rumour and insecurity. Printed rumour can at least be corrected
or denied. Even accurate bad news is preferable to uncertainty.
More important still, sharing news, not all of which any one
individual may understand or care about, is a way of making people fel
respected and, however feebly, empowered. Andrew, Raymond, Kenneth and
our other outdoor cleaners deserve to know what's happening to our
community every bit as much as pro-chancellors do, and, frankly, rather
more. They may even take more interest in some of it.
This is a part of 'Total Quality Management'. Universities almost by
definition ought always to be 'learning organisations' especially in
this age of accelerating change. Are we?
2. NEWS
-------
CONGRATULATIONS TO PROF EMERITUS JAROSLAV KREJCI who is to receive an
honorary D. Litt from the university. Professor Krejci, formerly of
Religious Studies and later of European Studies, currently finds refuge
in European Languages. He is the author of Civilizations of Asia,
Czechoslovakia at the Crossroads, Ethnic & Political Nations, Great
Revolutions Compared (2 editions), The Human Predicament, Human Rights
& Responsibilities, National Income & Outlay in Czechoslovakia, Social
Change & Stratification, Social Structures in a Divided Germany, plus
numerous pamphlets on knowledge, society, religion and revolution.
DEAN OF ARTS AND HUMANITIES: At last a contested election. The
succession to Dr Henig is to be disputed by Prof Dutton and Prof
Whitton, either of whom would be a doughty and redoutable defender of
Humanities funding, and a competent custodian of the budget.
WELCOME TO DR BARBARA MAHER of East Anglia who is to become our first
woman professor in the sciences on being appointed to a chair in
physical geography. Professor Maher, a specialist in environmental
magnetism, is interested in palaeoenvironmental and palaeoclimatic
reconstruction. She strengthens geography at a time when Dr Gattrell is
fully taken up by health research and Dr Flowerdew leaves for St
Andrews.
ROBOT WARS 2000: the third series of this televised competition in
which robots compete on strength, speed and manoeuvrability began in
December. The Engineering department hopes to compete in the fourth
series with their new robot, Counterfire. The project team of Richard
Mills and Tim Ocock is supervised by Prof Carter and Dr Malcolm Joyce.
http://www.comp.lancs.ac.uk/engineering/robotwars/
THE LAUT EXEC'S AWAYDAY MEETING (see last issue) is reported to have
been lively and productive. No icebreaking games were required. It
agreed a long list of intiatives, including measures to enliven Joint
Consultative Committee, Council and Senate Meetings and to deal with
the increasing number of personal cases being brought to the Exec. The
AUT National President is due to visit on Wednesday 3 May and to speak
at a general meeting. Worries about some deans and HoDs offering
extension to temporary appointments only on condition that incumbent
forgoes rights of academic staff status and transfers to 'other
related' status. Members have been warned to contact Exec member before
agreeing to accept such an offer.
PUBLIC ARTS: contrary to what was said here last time the meeting,
Professor Mackenzie's last in the chair, was quite well attended. Both
lay member, the Hon. Mrs Ruth Adorian and Alan Forsyth, were present. A
digest of some of the auditor's report on the Great Hall complex was on
the agenda. The VC appeared to distance himself from it and rule out
for the time being the appointment of a supremo. Alan Marsden's paper
outlining the administrative provision for public concerts in
universities elsewhere was discussed. In reply to it the VC simply read
out the Appointments Group minute which authorized two posts in Music
with the requirement that Music should administer the concerts from
within its own resources. Great pity that the unreasonableness or
unfeasibility of this provision was not highlighted at the time. Pro-VC
Whitaker now takes over as chair.
DARESBURY was on the agenda of this morning's UMAG. At the suggestion
of Prof McClintock and others soundings are being made about the fate
of scientists and high-performance computing equipment when the
Synchotron moves south. The government is putting in money to
compensate the NW, and all of its universities are looking covetously
at the possible spoils. Especially since many scientific civil servants
can't afford to buy a house in the SE.
REPORTS THAT SIX NEW POSTS IN IENS will be advertised shortly, all of
them requiring a strong background in chemistry.
3. MY MOST UNFORGETTABLE CHARACTER (II) [HELD OVER]
---------------------------------------------------
4. GASTRONOMIC UPDATE
---------------------
Many thanks to Dr Hubert Montagu Pollock for signalling The Angel at
Hetton. This much lauded prize-winning gastro-pub has a restaurant that
serves a fixed price menu at 29.50 for three courses and coffee. Wide
choice. Sunday lunch in the restaurant is 19.00 and offers a similar
choice. Reservations strongly recommended if not essential. Imaginative
cuisine in the French tradition.
Its wine list is not cheap but remarkable, especially for its modest
mark-ups on some very classy bottles indeed. Early bird menu in the
restaurant at 11.10 for 2 courses, 14.00 for 3. Dunno when though. The
same dishes are available on the Bar/Brasserie menu a bit cheaper.
On the B6265 midway between Skipton and Grassington. From Skipton turn
off at Rylsone duck pond. Exemplary website including maps and today's
special at http://www.angelhetton.co.uk/ (Webcraft by Quantum Dot
Knowledge.)
The same outfit also now owns The General Farleton at Ferrensby near
Knaresborough which is also winning prizes and looks very promising.
Accommodation as well. Bargain Dinner, B and B for websurfers at 50
quid a person.
If you care to go a few miles further into Yorkshire you can eat at
the famous Box Tree Cottage, Ilkley, whose new young (French) chef got
his first Michelin star in his first year. This is real luxury, with
sumptous surroundings and service. (The handsome who waiter who unfolds
a strached linen serviette a metre square and lays it on your lap is a
good sign.) They now do a 2 course menu at 19.95.
And if you don't want to go so far there is The Spread Eagle at
Sawley, the upmarket outfit (complete with rooms) run by Steven Doherty
of Punchbowl fame.
Nearer home I still think the best place foodwise in town is Il Bistro
Morini (Sun St), though its furnishings and paper napkins are not to my
taste. Weekday 2 course lunches at 4.95. It needs to be patronised to
ensure its longevity.
Paco, the excentric singing chef from El Nido with the build of
Pavarotti, has opened El Paco's, his own restaurant in the Farmer's
Arms. It's good bit more upmarket than the pub. Not sure how it will
fare. The usual robust and copious cooking in Spanish style. Around 13
quid and more a la carte.
A new spaghetti house has opened in Mary St opposite the back door of
the Walkabout pub. Reports please.
5.. READERS' LETTERS
-------------------
Urgent Petition: Now that the worries over the loss of countryside on
campus (due to the indeed much needed sports hall refurbishments) are
over, perhaps readers could start worrying about the loss of
countryside along the Lune.
From Lancaster to Caton/Bull Beck picnic site a walker's motorway has
been created and lights will be installed shortly. It is already far
too late for fighting against the diggers and tarmacers, but the lights
could still be halted.
Readers of the Lancaster Guardian and regular users of the foot/cycle
path will be aware of the ongoing debate whether we really did need
this revamped path. Personally I have decided the best thing to do
would be to make use of it and have bought rollerblades in eager
anticipation... I do however object against the lights which would mean
an end to the stretch of countryside and moonlid walks under starry
skies. Therefore I have promised the people who are campaigning against
the lights, that I would help to collect names/signatures on their
behalf through Inkytext. Aiming at all who would like to support the
fight against the lights.
So if you are against the developments and would like your name added
to the petition against lights along the Luneside footpath from
Lancaster to Caton, then do send me an e-mail at
b.theunissen-hughes@lancaster.ac.uk
All names need to be received before April 7th to be handed to the
Council Committee the week after that date.
Brigitte Theunissen-Hughes.
------------------------
The editor's job spec states that an 'infinitely tolerant spouse or
partner is a prerequisite'. On what grounds are you excluding single
people?
My comment is not just pedantry or facetiousness, though, but a bit of
tub-thumping on behalf of single people who are a) disadvantaged in a
society organised around coupledom (arguably) and b) invisible and c)
on the increase (I think). And, of course, singles may have more time
to edit your illustrious journal as they are not occupied with
maintaining a relationship. Not getting at you, just making a point...
I'll be sorry to see you 'retire' - and even sorrier if InkyText
closes.
Jane Hunt
Centre for the Study of Environmental Change
[NOTE: Sorry - didn't intend to exclude singles. Just unthinkingly
assumed that persons of the requisite seniority prolly didn't live
alone. Obviously an absurd and unwarranted assumption on my part. (Ed).]
--------------------------
I always did wonder how you found the time! Thanks for your unstinting
efforts to keep the University on the rails. As for moving to a
graphics based format, - don't. I know a picture's worth a thousand
words, but it's the rest of the javage that goes with it which slows
the network down.
Paul Mullineaux
--------------------------
Don't go.
Emily Fay
Alumni Officer
--------------------------
You were kind enough to e-mail INYTEXT back to no. 341. It is clear
from the ones I got that mine stopped even earlier. If you have a
chance, will you e-mail me, say, 335 to 340? I hate missing even a
single issue. Many thanks.
Robert Segal
[NOTE: Thank you. Most touched. However I regret that I have
semi-accidentally erased them to stop exceeding filestore limits.
(Semi-accidentally because I only meant to condense them but had to do
so in $scratch and forgot to move them back.)
The good news is that if you use MS Outlook on the campus Exchange
mailer you can get lots of them without even subscribing by looking in
the FOLDERS/PUBLIC/INKYTEXT directory. Failing that you can find ALL of
them (almost) at Barry Rowlingson's wonderful archive on
http://www.maths.lancs.ac.uk/~rowlings/Inkytext/
Not sure whether the Library or university archives have them or not.
(Ed.)]
-------------------
I am so sorry to see InkyText come to an end under your editorial
direction. As an avid reader since before issue #50 it has provided me
with a picture of the trials and tribulations that have gone on since I
left in 1985. After reading the various attempts at an official
newsletter for the university, I always trusted InkyText for the view
behind the facade ("don't look behind the curtain").
I have also enjoyed your multipart Proust section. While I haven't
summoned the courage yet to read this grand work, I do have one
connection with the great author. While working for the library at the
University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign I got to know a professor who
had an office in the Library. His name was Philip Kolb and he was
working on locating and publishing the correspondence of Proust. Volume
1 came out in 1971 and the last volume, 22 came out around 1988. One of
Prof. Kolb's task was to date the correspondence as Proust had the
unfortunately habit of not dating his letters (or at most, writing the
month on the top).
In this office was hundreds of volumes of reference works, almanacs,
published diaries of members of the high society of Paris from this
period. He also had hundreds of reels of microfilm of French newspapers
from the 1870s through around 1925. Prof. Kolb used these to track down
the dates of any reference to an event made in the letters (opening of
a play, death of someone, etc.) so he could assign a date to the
letter. My simple job was to retrieve materials from his office or scan
dealers' catalogues for letters appearing on the market. Prof. Kolb
once estimated that Proust wrote about 50,000 letters in his life and
he had only managed to track down about 10% of that output.
When I first met him, I thought he was just another professor on
campus. One day I was listening to the BBC World sService on my
shortwave and all of a sudden I heard Prof. Kolb being interviewed on a
piece about Proust. In 1988 when he was working on the last volume of
correspondence taking him to Proust's death, he finished correcting the
galleys from the publisher PLON and created an index to all of the
volumes. A few days later he died from leukemia.
While the 22 volume set is in French, Prof. Kolb selected the most
important letters to be translated. The fourth and last volume just
came out.
Vincent Golden
Illinois
[NOTE: Thanks Vincent, and thank you for your invitations and all the
Dilbert books. Sorry I'm not a better correspondent. Maybe I'll visit
the Kolb archive one day. I approve of its website. In 1967 Professor
Kolb was kind enough to answer a letter from me about the
Proust-Montesquiou correspondence. I saw him at a conference but never
really met him. (Ed.)
---------------------
Thank you for providing this service for us for as long as you have.
I'll be happy to come to the farewell party with a bottle of whisky for
you in return for the wonderful Proust film review service and the
hanging basket advertising service over the past five years - just let
us know when and where the party is! (PS Regular hanging basket
customers are invited to contact me to ask about orders for this year)
Fiona Frank f.frank@lancaster.ac.uk
[NOTE: No party I fear, and no bottles, please. My remark about bottles
of spirits, though true, was satirically intended. (Ed.)
--------------------------
Given the prospect of waking up to break my fast and having nothing to
break it with, I must cast aside my Lent discipline and seek to inflict
my opinions on the readership of InkyText once more.
Breaking Lent prematurely does not, I have to say, exercise me that
much; I said my last Hail Mary nearly 10 years ago. The rather bitter
note on which the editor seems to be ending his reign as the true Don
Quixote of Lancaster, however, does exercise me. I cannot imagine who
has been taking advantage of him but that he feels this to be the
case is sad. Sadder still, while understandable, is his stated boredom.
Rather more earthy, mildly amusing even, is his honest desire to be
paid for his work.
With this we reach the nub of the problem. In a parallel universe,
where certain principles I need not expand on are held in rather more
esteem than in ours, there is a Gordon Inkster, at Lancaster
university, paid a full and commensurate salary for both editing
InkyText and performing what academic duties he feels able to carry
out.
He is accorded full editorial independence and his budget comes from
the Academic Freedom Grant that is yearly awarded to all universities
in the United Kingdom. This budget is sufficient to employ an editorial
assistant, run an office with modern equipment (computers, scanners,
photographic, audio and video equipment, etc.) and commission a
reasonable number of articles by other contributors over each year at
acceptable rates. In this universe, Gordon Inkster is well content,
hardly bored and fulfilling many of the needs of a community vibrant
with free and open debate.
I think I make my point well enough and if we worshipped academic
freedom in this country as much as we worship power and money then it
would not be a fantasy. Unfortunately, it is a fantasy; a sad fact for
which we have only ourselves to blame...
Nick Bardsley
PS. And no, the above is not some sycophantic pitch for the job.
[NOTE: The breaking of one's fast in Mid-Lent is permitted. As for Don
Quixote... perhaps it takes one to know one. (Ed)]
------------------------------
Many thanks for facilitating the advertising of diverse
entertainments, computers, a small lorry and other odds and ends on
behalf of myself and a motley crew of unwired friends.
With your proposed journalistic retirement getting nearer every day,
you must be wondering how you will distract your mind from academia and
red-headed, freckle-breasted, Edinburghian nurses. May I suggest the
following.
There comes a time when today's events become history, history becomes
saga and saga becomes legend. The sorry tale of Lancaster University's
ongoing financial mess has a great value. Someone, somewhere, some time
will write a management book (or two) about it. Behaviourists will
study the democratic procedures used at meetings to encourage/cajole
those who made the decisions. Business Experts at Resource and Revenue
Kleptomania ("BERRKs") (aka "Accountants") will discuss the logic of
the options presented to the decision makers. Economists (and city
financiers) will sit back and laugh.
Btw, before you do retire, readers may be interested in a cycle tour
which I participated in some years ago. The Pennine Ride In Defence of
the Environment (PRIDE) took us to Bingley Bog where the Government
hoped to build a road. While there we were advised that some 100+ years
ago, this bog swallowed a locomotive which was being used in an attempt
to build a railway line across it. Within the last decade a JCB and a
large steel sheet on which it was parked sank into the bog overnight.
There wasn't even a trace of where it had been parked.
We were encouraged to admire the Pisa-esque qualities of a particular
building society building in the neighbouring town. As I was leaning
too much on the handlebars of my bike owing either to the quality of
Old Peculier or the Atomic Theory (as set out by Flann O'Brien), I was
unable to savour the fine architecture of Bradford.
The moral of the tale? Those in a position to inquire should ask the
recently hired quantity surveyors from Yorkshire some pertinent
questions.
