WOLLONGONG ACADEMIC INVITED TO DELIVER

KEYNOTE LECTURE AT INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM

Dr. Tara Chandra, Senior Lecturer in the Department of Metallurgy, has been invited by the Structural Materials and Mechanical Metallurgy Committees of American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical and Petroleum Engin-eering (AIME) to give a keynote lecture at the Inter-national Conference on "Phase Boundary Effects on Deformation" to be held in October in Toronto, Canada.

Dr. Chandra is expected to give a lecture on the research work in the area of duplex stainless steel which is funded under the University of Wollongong research grant.

Before his visit to Canada in October, Dr. Chandra is planning also to present a paper at the Seventh Inter-national Conference on the Strength of Metals and Alloys (ICSMA-7) to be held at Concordia University, Montreal, in August this year.

The organising Committee of ICSMA-7 has also invited Dr. Chandra to chair the "Hot Deformation of Materials" session at this prestigious conference, which is held every four years in different countries. ICSMA-6 was held in Australian in 1982. Dr Tara Chandra at work.

INSERVICE EVALUATION PROJECT BEGINS

A $21,000 research project is being undertaken jointly by Mary Kalantzis and Bill Cope of the Multicultural Centre and Ted Booth of the Faculty of Education.

The project will be evaluating the professional develop-ment programs provided for secondary teachers in con-tact with adolescents of non-English speaking back-grounds.

Initially the task will be to identify the documented needs of secondary youth from N.E.S.B. and the range of inservice programs that have been provided by state and non-government school systems in all states and territories. Phase two of the project will examine a number of case studies of a range of program types that were identified in the national survey.

The project has been commissioned to identify a number of practical suggestions which could be incorporated into inservice programs to improve the quality of teacher development.

Beverley Denewianka has been employed as a part-time professional officer to work in the project for twelve months. The project is based in the Faculty of Educat-ion. Further inquiries can be directed to Ms Mary Kalantzis (ext 3780) or Dr Ted Booth (ext 3878).

DISAPPEARANCE OF FIRE EXTINGUISHERS

The disappearance of fire extinguishers from buildings on campus has reached epidemic proportions.

Obviously, fire extinguishers are essential for the safety of the staff and students on campus and those removing them are endangering the lives of other people. They are also liable to prosecution.

Staff and students are urged to report immediately to the Patrol Supervisor (ext 3936) incidents of people removing fire extinguishers from the campus.

University Day OUR TENTH ANNIVERSARY

As part of the celebrations to mark the University's tenth anniversary on August 9, four fellowships are to be awarded in recognition of service to the community and or to the University. This is a new category of award and recipients will be Alderman Frank Arkell, Lord Mayor of Wollongong; Mr Lawrence Kelly, Speaker of the NSW state parliament and Deputy Chancellor of the University; Mr Mery Nixon, secretary of the South-Coast Labour Council, and Miss Ethel Hayton, benefactor to the University.

As has been previously announced in Campus News, the anniversary is to be marked by a special graduation ceremony. The fellowships will be awarded at the cere-mony, and so, too, will the honorary degree of Doctor of Letters be awarded to the ex-governor of New South Wales, Sir Roden Cutler. And Mrs Thistle Stead, the well-known wild-life expert and conservationist will have conferred upon her the honorary degree of Doctor of Science.

This is the one big occasion with which the University is marking its tenth anniversary and it is hoped that you will help us celebrate it. We expect a large gathering of new graduates, old graduates (particularly from our first graduation back in 1976), staff, ex-staff, and other Friends of the University.

As seating is limited, it is suggested that those intending to make up departmental or other parties should make their bookings early.

There will be pre-dinner drinks from 6.30 to 7 p.m. in the Union Common Room, with entertainment from the University Singers, followed by the celebration dinner and further entertainment. Cost is $20 a head.

Bookings close with the Union on Thursday, August 1.

As an important part of the tenth anniversary celebrat-ion David Vance, the University Music Development Officer, will be conducting a concert staged specifically for the anniversary celebration.

The concert will be held on Saturday October 12 in Wollongong Town Hall. David Vance reports that the ABC Sinfonia has been engaged and professional soloists booked.

The University Singers, expanded by students from the Campus Choir and with members of the University community, will perform, as the major program item, Mozart's Requiem. This might seem to some to be inappropriate fare for an anniversary celebration, but David Vance feels that the work is sure to attract an audience familiar with parts of the work through the film Amadeus (to be screened by the University film group in October).

FAREWELL DINNER TO CHALLICE MOLDRICH

A farewell dinner to Challice Moldrich will be held in the University Union on August 16 — a Friday. Time is 7 for 7.30 pm. A three-course meal will be served, and vegetarian meals will be available provided they are ordered when bookings are made. The price, $15 per person, will include beer, wine or orange juice.

INAUGURAL TOWN VERSUS GOWN RUGBY MATCH

When: Sunday, August 4 at 3 pm Where: University Rugby Oval. Why: To kick off 1985 Commem Week., our 10th Anniversary.

To be played under Bah-Bah conditions, the game will feature local and invited players. Both sides are an invitation XV, the 'Gown' the Vice-Chancellor's XV, and the 'Town' the Lord Mayor's XV.

As the theme of this year's Commem Week is our 10th Anniversary, district players who were members of the 1975 Wallaby tour have been asked to play as guest players. To date, John Lambie and Jim Hindmarsh have indicated they will play for the Gown side, while it is hoped Geoff Shaw will be able to tear himself away from his Hot Bake Shop in Brisbane to play for the Town.

ARTISTS - ART EDUCATORS EXHIBITION BY WOLLONGONG WEST COLLEGE OF TAFE

Scene from the exhibition at the School of Creative Arts. In the right foreground, and because of perspective appearing much larger than it is, a carving, in eucalypt, entitled 'Puncocky' by Ian Gentle. Behind it is a screen in coloured glass by Ellis Eyre, whose exhibits generally are outstanding. His screen is imbued with an ambience

of mystique, by an opaque head — flat-topped above the eyebrow — and a pair of hands raised as though in supplication. Left of the screen is a wood carving entitled Sleeper 3'; one of several impressive carvings by W. Baxter. The exhibition remains open until August 18.

BLUE STOCKING DAY

Blue Stocking Day (held this year on July 24) trad-itionally celebrates women's access to tertiary education. It has been a little over 100 years since women were first permitted to attend universities in Australia with the University of Sydney opening its doors to women in 1881.

Throughout the century which has elapsed since, women have had continuously to reassert their right to be regarded as equals with men. It has taken 100 years for women to achieve an overall equal proportion of enrol-ments at undergraduate level, although faculties such as Engineering, Science and Mathematics are still dominat-ed by men. (The proportion of men to women at this university is 3 to 2).

Equality is, however, more than simply achieving equal proportions of men and women; it is based upon mutual respect and opportunity. Women's presence in equal numbers helps foster attitudes of respect and equality through active demonstration of women's right to equality with men. Without female participation in areas traditionally regarded as male preserves such respect and equality cannot be realised. Women need to set the example and, in so doing, function as role models for younger women. For this reason it is important that women are represented in all areas of life. It has taken a long time for people in society generally to realise that

men and women have not only different, but unequal opportunities for achievement. Despite people's expect-ations of their enlightenment, universities, as part of that society, have also been slow in realising that such in-equalities exist — not only outside but within their own structures.

Within this University there is an inbalance in proportions of women and men employees, in the level and status of male and female staff and in the disjunction between the representation of women at the undergraduate and especially the postgraduate levels. When we study the proportion of women at the postgraduate level and on the staff of the University we could well be forgiven for thinking that it will take another 100 years to achieve not only equal numbers with males, but also equal status.

'Blue Stocking' was originally a term of contempt directed towards members of a mid-18th century literary society. It came to be applied to educated women particularly around the turn of the century.

On Blue Stocking Day women celebrate women's access to tertiary education and campaign for greater access and greater opportunity for achievement for all women, both within universities and society as a whole.
