OEC
1992
INTRODUCTION
The Competi tion d'ingenierie de l'Ontario -
Ontario Engineering Competition (CIO-OEC),
fomlerly known as the Ontario Engineering Design
Competition (OEDC), was founded at Queen '$
Univer ity by Di ane Neil in order to give
engineering student ' an opportunity to participate in
a chall enging new competition. This competition
promotes excellence and ingenuity in engineering
design and communication. It is entirely organiLed
and run by students of the host univers ity.
DA TE AND LOCA TION
The Univer sit y of Ottawa, Canada's largest and
oldest bilingual institution, is the proud host of
CIO-OEC 1992 which will be held in the Nation's
Capital, Ottawa, Ontario on February 28-29 and
March I, 1992.
GOALS
Since it s in eption in 1980, the primary
objectives of the CIO-OEC have been:
To encourage the interaction of engineers from
industry, government, and academia with
engineering st udent s in order to strengthen the
bonds between these sectors of the profession.
To provide undergraduate engineering students
with an opportunity to test and develop thei r
skills in practical problem solving, design, and
communication, as a to learn from the
success and shortcomings of others in a
competitive environment.
To promote a better understanding and
appreciation of the engineering profession among
students and the general public.

Ontario Engineering
Design Competition
CATEGORIES
The compet ition is open to any full-time
undergraduate engineering student enroled in any
Ontario university. Competitors may enter anyone
of the following five categories:
Entrepreneurial Design
Corporate Design
Editorial Communications
Explanatory Communications
Extemporaneous Debate
ENTREPRENEURIAL DESIGN
The goal of thi s category is that students desi gn a
marketable product or service not currentl y avai lable
in Canada. Competitors are encouraged to develop
new and innovat ive desi gns that will benefit
Canadian industry and technology. This category
promotes Canadi an self-suffi ciency in technology
and creates an environment where students may test
their ideas in a real-world situati on. The first place
. winner in thi s category receives the Northern
Telecom A ward
CORPORA TE DESIGN
The goa l of thi s category is that students analyze
and design a sol uti on to an existing problem in
industry. The Corporate Design Package, whi ch is
compiled by the Organizing Committee, contains a
number of such problems suppli ed by various
corporations and IS avail abl e upon request.
Problems from industry not contained in this
package may als&.be eligible. TI:Ns category offers a
chance for students to use their ingenuity and
educati on. The first place winner in this category
receive the Ontario Hydro Award.
EDITORIAL COMMUNICATIONS
The goal or this category is that students present
a viewpoint on the social impact of a current
technological issue. Often engineers are faced with
decisions regarding the application of technology
and its impact on society. This category encourages
AWARDS
the competitors to identify uch an issue and form a
well-5.upported argument. The first place winner in
thi category receives the Bell Canada Award .
EXPLANATORY
COMMUNICA TIONS
The goa l of thi s category is that students present
a complicated technical process or issue in lay
term '. Pan of an engineer's re ' ponsibil ity is to
explain highly specialized ubjects so that others
may understand what i invol ved. Thi category
encourages the development of communication
skill s. The first place winner in thi s category
receives the General Motors of Canada Award.
EXTEMPORANEOUS DEBATE
The goal of thi s category i that student s apply
analyti c skills and present a we ll -reasoned viewpoint
with a minimum amount of preparation. Engineers
are often required to make criti cal evaluation of a
given proposal or to defend an existing one. Us ing a
parliamentary-style debate format , compet itors
defend or refute a previously undi sclo ed resoluti on.
The first place winner in this category receives the
Silver Tongue Award, jointly sponsored by the
Sand ford Fleming Foundation and the Consulting
Engi neers of Ontario.
ELIGIBILITY
Any f ull -time undergraduate student enroled at an
Ontario univerSi ty is eli gible to compete.
Work. done by engineering students durin co-op
work term or summer employment may be
eli gible. However, In order to protect employers,
students, and the competition, students must
obtain written authorization from their employers
allowing their work to be presented at the
competition.
Term or thesis projects done by engineeri ng
students may be el igible provided that the work
done is their own. Students must also avoid
excessive help from faculty members.
First, second, and third place winners receive

As this term draws to a
close I am happy to be able
to say that the Eng Soc
money situation is under
control and we will be able
to start the summer term in
the black.
During the weekend of
Nov 15-17 a RESSA
conference was held in
Ottawa. I was fortunate
enough to be one of four
Eng Soc B delegates at the
conference. The weekend
was informative and
sparked many interesting
discussions concerning the
field of engineering in
Canada, the role co-op
plays in our education (ie.
industry's part in
education), as well as the
engineering image ... again.
The conference presented
each student with the
chance to find out what
other engineering schools
are up to, as well as
meeting future engineers
from different
backgrounds. U of 0 did a
wonderful job of hosting
the weekend. If any
student in engineering at
UW is interested in being a
UW delegate at a
conference the opportunity
is available. Please talk
with Serge (VP Ext) about
upcoming conferences. I
highly recommend
attending these FUN and
INFORMA TIVE weekends
during your time as an
engineering student.
Here are a few words of
wisdom for the frosh
entering their first work
term. Doing well on a work
report is possible despite
whatever ELPE score you
achieved. Make sure and
finish it before you come
back to school in May.
Spelling and grammar
count so it's a good idea to
have someone else read il
for technical substance as
well as proper language
usage. When you are
deciding on a topic talk to
your supervisor since you
can then use time at work
without feeling guilty.
Make sure you are
analyzing something and
use an analytical format.
Follow the co-op work term
report guidelines
EXACTLY. Use a computer
to type and print out the
report (any laser printing
facilities at work make the
report look better). Looks
count for most of the marks
so don't forget to get a
nice binding. Most
importantly, to do well on a
work term report have at
least a format and title to
describe to your co-
ordinator when he/she
comes to visit so you know
you are on the right track.
When you get bored in
whatever city you are
working in try finding a
group of students to hang
attend the End of Term
POTLUCK party on
Wednesday, Nov mber
27th in POETS. Bar Services
will be there. Council will
also be right after the party
before we head over to Fed
for the EOT Pub at FED.
The EOT pub is
November 27, 1991 at FED
HALL. The term video will
be shown and I'm sure Sean
and Sheri will have
something cool cooked for

The Imprint. ..
Student Paper?
T
he Iron Warrior has changed
quite a bit over this term. While
the actual finished product may
in many ways look very similar to
that of past terms, the current method
of publishing the paper is completely
different. Those who have in the past
have participated in all-night (it
seems) layout s essions will have
noticed that these cut & paste
techniques are no longer used. The
Iron Warrior is now put together
using desk top publishing software on
a Macintosh computer. This software
has allowed more emphasis to be
placed on the composition of the
paper, and less on the mechanical
actions of production. Until this time,
the University has allowed us to use
the Libra lab for our publishing, but a
future goal is for the paper to
purchase its own computer, thereby
eliminating reliance on a lab whose
use, although currently not heavy, is
bound to increase in the future (and
unreliable, it crashed while I was
writing this). With this goal in mind,
the Iron Warrior is attempting to cut
costs and increase advertising in
order to pay for this equipment.
The Jack of money available for
these types of capital purchases
caused the IW staff to begin to
question why the fed's paper, the
Imprint, could ask the students for
money while we could not. With a
mind to answering this question we
obtained the financial information for
the Imprint for 1989 and 1988 (the
numbers were not available for 1990 ...
what year is it anyway?). We felt that
since the engineering students are
asked to contribute to the Imprint,
they have a right to know how the
money will be used - so here it is. In
1988, the Imprint made a profit of
$28,846 on revenues of $271,000. In
1989 the paper made a profit of
$44,777 on revenues of $271,000.
Although there is indication that the
numbers for 1990 will be lower, from
a business standpoint these figures
are very impressive, until you
cons ider the fact that student
contributions for these respective
years amounted to approximately
$73,000 per year. In other words, the
Imprint is losing money and the profit
they are showing is as a result of the
student contribution, ra ther than a
result of the paper's good
management.
The Imprint justifies these profits
( or losses depending on your
perspective) using two arguments. It
is published using old technology,
technology that is already obsolete in
this day and age of desktop
publishing and laser printers. In the
future this equipment will have to be
replaced and it is this capital
expenditure that the Imprint is
planning to use their current profits to
pay for. Their second justification
results from part of their mandate.
The Imprint has a two stage mandate:
to provide a forum for student
opmJOl1, and to pravi e an
atmosphere for student exposure to
journalism. In order to fulfill this
multiple-mandate it is necessary for
the paper to train a large number of
people because the staff of the Imprint
varies so widely from term to term.
This extra training, which would be
unnecessary if the staff was restricted,
costs money both in lost efficiency
and extra expense. The staff of the
paper justify their position of net loss
(not including income from student
contribution) because they feel that
the paper is fulfilling its mandate.
While the reasons the Imprint
gives for requiring the continued
input of so much student money may
in many ways seem valid, they lose
WHY?????
As this is my last term as editor of
the Iron Warrior there are a few
things that I'd like the general
undergrad population to know (i.e.
get off my chest).
Why do the students here at
Waterloo seem to feel that the LW. is
obliged to print anything that is
submitted to it. Chris and I have tried
to make the l.W. a respectable
newspaper serving Waterloo students.
If we felt that an article was
unsuitable for publication or would
take too much time to prepare for
publication It wouldn't get printed. I
would like to apologize, however, to
anyone who feels a little miffed
because of this ... we really tried our
best to get everything in.
Why do the Green Men lock one
side of a double door entrance? Do
they sit somewhere watching with
great expectations because they know
I'll inevitably pick the locked side and
get extremely annoyed at them?
Why don't more people bring
Cheryl, Mary and Cindy flowers more
often ... lord knows they deserve them.
Why does every class always have
a keener who is trying to show up the
much of their validity when examined
from the point of an engineering
student. Ignoring the possibility that
what the paper suffers from is bad
management, I want to examine the
mandate of the Imprint from this
direction.
The Imprint is failing in each of
their mandates with respect to the
engineering students, and possibly
the math and science students as well.
The ideas presented in the Imprint do
not reflect the interests or opinions of
the majority of engineers. To illustrate
this one need only refer to the Gulf
war fiasco that monopolized their
pages last winter, or the obscure
record reviews that occupy several
pages of each issue.
The Iron Warrior provides a
forum for engineering views and as a
result very few engineering students
write for the Imprint. For the same
reason very few (if any) engineers are
m.embers of the Imprint staff.
Therefore engineering students are
not well represented in either the
training or forum components of the
Imprint's mandate. According to
some of the stories I've heard, it
seems as well that engineers are often
not really welcome when they do
wish to write for the paper.
prof?
Why are the Fed's trying to build
an amusement park and call it a
'Student Life Centre'?
Why can't Co-op do things right
for a change? What did we ever do to
The Iron Warrior is attempting to
provide the services to engineering
students that the Imprint claims to
provide, but does not. The
Engineering Society is limited in the
improvements that it can make to this
paper because of financial restrictions.
If we want to buy equipment, we
either make money or do without
(most often do without). I question
the justness of the Imprint fee on the
fee statement without the inclusion of
a similar fee for the other student
publications here on campu
Engineering students should be given
the opportunity to decide not only if
the Imprint meets their needs, but
whether they would rather support
their own paper instead.
The Imprint fee is a scratch off fee
- ir, other words, you can just simply
not bother to pay it when you pay
your tuition; you don't have to. If you
feel that the Imprint is not a student
paper (and I mean every student on
campus, not only a select few) , then
exercise your right next term and tell
them.

Ouellette for the suggestion.) Please
let me know how you feel.
The mascot is especially proud of
the frosh this term. They have been
outstanding in their support for THE
TOOL. The mascot appreciates it, and
hopes it continues.
There has been some concern
about first year engineering students
being involved in EngSoc. In speaking
with Dr. Ford from the Department of
1st year engineering, we have'been
able to agree on allowing students in
1A to be involved only as class reps.
As well, students should also be
warned that involvement in EngSoc
should not be considered as grounds
for an appeal to the Engi neeri ng
Examinations and Promotions
Committee. 10derate involvement is
encouraged. Please be careful, ith
your involvement. We'd like to talk to
you rather than about you.
B Soc has decided to shelve the idea of
an Engineering Student Centre. The
issue of need was investigated and
was found that essentially at present
space lacks in POETS. But for future
considerations, it may be wise to
investigate expansion ideas for
POETS and for the ORIFICE in order
to centralize our activities.
That's it for the term. Good luck

COMPETITON'92:
Some of you might remember the
Ontario Engineering Design
Competition that we hosted last
March in the Davis Centre. Big
money was won by Waterloo students
last year. This coming March, the
competition will be held in Ottawa,
and I encourage you to accept the
challenge. It is open to anyone who is
interested. This is an excellent
opportunity for 4th year students to
present their projects. There are five
categories in design and
communications. Prizes for first,
second and third places are 1000, 750
and 500 dollars respectively. Get
more details at the Orifice.
BRIDGE BUILDING COMPETITION:
Civils and Mechs are challenged:
popcicle sticks, dental floss,
toothpicks and glue and the best
bridge design will put $1500 in your
pocket! The competition will be held
at Concordia University on March 6,
1992. Get more details at the Orifice.

This conference (another one!) is held
March 6 to 8, 1992 (a lot of things are
happening that weekend) at Que.:m's
University. For more info, 'go to the

CANADIAN CONFERENCE OF
ENGINEERING STUDENTS: We
have 5 delegates representing B-Soc at
this conferen ce next January i n
Montreal. Many important issues will
be discussed, and the delegates will
represent UW well.
Have you noticed that everything
I've mentioned is happening during
the work term? That's why I'm
telling you people now- in order to
keep you busy duri ng the wint er.
Take some time and participat e to
these. Employers usually find it
really cool that students are involved
in such things and may give you some
time off to go to them ... or sponsor
you ... or tell you that you are
dreaming!
PUBLICATIONS:
Project Magazine: This is the
magazine representing all Canadian
engineering students. The next issue
coming out Nov. 22 highlights
"Canadian Cutting Edge
Technology". It promises to be a
collectors item. Grab your copy! (It's
free!)
Engineering Dimensions: This
magazine comes from the APEO and
is usually really good. Keep yourself
informed on the professional
engineering career tha t you'll be
getting into pretty soon. Grab a copy

"What I Really Wanted for Christmas"
Sean Murphy
Pissed off Mech
Co-operative education has a
number of advantages. I'm sure it is
for this reason a large number of
students chose Waterloo over a lot of
the other Canadian engineering
schools. It is what brought me to
Waterloo, otherwise I was gone to
McGill. (Sometimes, I wonder if I had
already left.) In any case, co-op is
important to warrant a mention in the

I had hoped to get a job out west
for the winter term (you know, go
skiing in Banff, etc ... ). I filled out my
application with 20 jobs with a
definite intention of going to Calgary
for the winter term. There were jobs
elsewhere as well, and I was very
willing to go anywhere. I also applied
to 3 late postings. I thought that
would give me enough of an
opportunity to receive some
interviews considering my poor
academic performance in the past. As
far as I knew eveything was alright.
However, strange things were

co-op. I should have had an expected. Many situations have arisen
interview ..... but I didn't. I called PIC that students are not informed about
to find out what had happened, they interviews until 20 minutes before the
told me that I was on their list to co- actual interview, horror stories about
op but that co-op had scratched me students being contacted by
off the PIC list. When Petro-Canada employers through their parents at
called back to find out what was home, screw-ups when the employer
happening, they were told that "It is hires too many students and the
none of your business". Obviously, students are left without a job.
co-op was out looking for my best These are all circumstances that

have arisen. There are numerous
e amples that could be added. It is
because of these stories that students,
if they are able, will arrange their own
jobs just to avoid the hassles of co-op
or they will return to previous jobs
just because it is easier. As a result,
their money is collected, but it is not
used to their advantage because the
students choose to avoid the problem
in the first place.
The attitude, pr valent among
students, is that it is easier for them to
accept the problem because they only
have to deal with co-op for 5 years.
The true challenge is to create a
system that is accomoda ting to
stud en ts tIla t would allow the
flexibility for its use for all students.
However, the promised system has
taken such a long time to develop that
most students have given up on the
idea of a fair deal from co-op. In
essence, they have given up on the
idea that they can get a job wi thout
alot of hassle.
I think it is time that students take
a stand in this regard. It is important
that we take an interest in our
education, and because it is a
fundamental part of our program, it is
an integral part of our education. If
you have any concerns regarding
your treatment in co-op educaton,
please let me know. It's time that we
as engineering students stand
together and fight for our education.
We pay for it, let's do something
about it. I can be reached in the
Engineering Society Office or call me

WEE F : What can I do?
Dave Morton
Endowment Director
The Endowment has accomplished a
lot during it's short life so far.
Witness the new 386 upgrades in the
WATSTAR labs, equipment in
electrical, chern labs, support for the
Ontario Engineering Design
Competition, the list goes on. The
capital in the Endowment continues
to grow, over half a million now, and
contributions pour in. The VSC has
enjoyed a huge success, averaging an
80% participation rate. The
Plummer's Pledge is starting to come
in, and the Employer Matching
Contribution campaign is just getting
off the ground.
However all this progress has not
been accomplished without a large
amount of work. The Endowment is
run by a Funding Council, made up of
representatives of each on stream
class, simil ar to EngSoc, and is
chaired by the Endowment Director.
This Council passes all decisions to
the Board of Directors, made up of the
ndowmen ire tors from oth
streams, both EngSoc presidents, the
Dean, some s tudents and some
alumni. The Endowment Director's
job is put the Funding Council and
Board of Director's wishes into action.
This includes everything from
publicity to administering the VSC to
actually spending the money. So
there is room for lots of people to get
involved!
So what can I do to get involved?
Will this require a lot of my time?
The answer is you can do what ever
you want to do, for as much time as
you want to put into it. There's lots of
stuff to do, so come on in to the
Orifice and tell us what you want to
do. Below is a list of activities the
Endowment is involved in, including
directorships, as well as things you
can do on your own.
1) Employer Matching Program
The Endowment is just starting this
campaign. We're approaching
employers and asking them to match
their employee's (both co-op and
alumni) donations to the Endowment.
The VSC generates about $270000 a
year, so if we can match even a
fraction of that, it will still amount to
a significant amount of money.
2) Publicity The Endowment needs
more publicity, both to inform
students abc ,It its activities and as
part of ongulng campaigns. This
would involve pamphlets, 1W articles,
our bulletin board, plaques for
equipment we have bought, and
whatever you want to do with the job.
This is a director position.
3) Bylaws Since we are still just in
our infancy, we're still in the process
of defining our structure, operating
rules, etc. If you have a legal mind or
just an idea of how you think things
should be run, you might be
interested in writing bylaws for the
Endowment.
4) Gifts in Kind A lot of companies
have equipment they would like to
donate, or write off and give to the
University, but they have no way of
knowing whether we are interested.
We need someone to coordinate this
program, which would involve
talking to department chairs, profs,
lab technicians, etc., in order to
compile a list of equipment the faculty
needs. Ultimately, this would lead to
soliciting donations from the
companies. Many American
universities have complete labs
donated by a single corporation. We
need to cash in on this .
5) Proposals We have pooled
interest income from the summer and
fall terms of 1991, and this money will
be spent with the income from winter
1992. This will amount to
approximately $50 000. We need your
ideas on how to spend this money.
Look around you at your labs and
facilities and I'm sure you can see
some room for improvement. Spend
half an hour and write up a proposal
for purchasing new equipment,
funding a new project, whatever.
Talk to the prof, lab tech or someone
from the department if you want, find
out what we need. This is something
you can do without committing very
much time.
6) Matching As mentioned above,
we are currently approaching
corporations and asking them to
match their student employee's
contributions. You can do this on
your own on your next work term.
Talk to the personnel department and
tell them you gave your university
$75 last semester, and ask them to
match it. Take some brochures with
you, or tell them to give us a call for
more information. It's as easy as that.
1 personally got my employer this
summer to give us $675. Not much
on its own, but if everybody does
that...!
These are some things the
Endowment is doing, and some ideas
for things you can do on your own.
If you're interested in hdping
improve the quality of your
education, drop in and see us.

Recession Busting: Be an Executive
Ronald Dicke
CASI Student Branch
President
Recession Buster
CASI@1308
Times are tough, jobs are scarce,
and employers are recelvmg
hundreds of resumes for each job.
You have to stand out. All of you are
engineers. Marks, who cares about
marks. This isn't Grad School. So
what is setting you apart? What is
giving you the edge?
Extracurricular activities set you
apart. These activities are not just
something you add to your resume,
they provide you with invaluable
experience that is hard to find in your
school work or work-terms.
For example, being on the
executive of a student club will
provide you with experience in
dealing with and leading people and
on how to run an organization. Being
a Executive in a student club is much
the same as being on the board of
directors of a multinational
corporation, just on a different scale.
The principles are the same. You have
budgets and people to deal with,
there are operating costs and you
have to produce results. It is also very
rewarding.
So where can you find an
executive position?
The Canadian Aeronautics and
Space Institute (CASn Student Branch
is one of the biggest on campus. We
have typically had 40 to 100 people at
our weekly presentations. You have
probably seen our signs in the
Engineering Halls. We're offering you
an opportunity to show your stuff.
Ask yourself this question:
1) Are you interested in
Aerospace?
If you answered 'YES' to this
question then you are qualified to be
an executive on the CASI executive. If
you answered 'NO' you are still
qualified to be on the executive. There
are many positions such as Treasurer,
Membership Director, Advertising
which do not necessarily require an
interest in Aerospace.
So if you have ever caught
yourself going to a Club meeting and
saying, "I could do a way better job
running this club." or you just want to
have the edge on recession busting
just send a m e s s ~ e to CASI@1308 on
Watstar or drop a note in the CAST
Mail Box in the Orifice. Please leave
your name and a telephone number
where you can be reached. Positions
are available for both the upcoming
Winter and Spring Terms. And don't
worry if you don't have any
experience, this is your chance to get
it. We will show you how everything
is run to get you started. After that the
sky's the limit.

Engineering Student Centre
Chris DeBrusk
Engineering Student Centre
Committee
At the beginning of this term,
Engineering Society A presented
EngSoc B with a rough, informal
proposal for the construction of an
EngSoc building. EngSoc A was
interested in exploring the possibility
of for this building and asked us to
develop an opinion which paralleled
the general feeling towards it within
our society. With this goal in mind,
the Engineering Student Centre
Committee was formed and publicity
concerning the building was started.
The findings of this committee
were presented at the joint council
and at the most recent council
meeting. The committee chose to
examine the problem in three parts:
1. Space: The committee attempted
to informally develop an EngSoc
space usage opinion - i.e. how much
space do we currently use and what
are our future needs. The committee
agreed that an increase in space
would be nice, but a definite need
only exists currently in two areas. At
the beginning of the term the Orifice
suffered from overcrowding, and
often students could not get to the
services that it is intended to provide,
simply because of the number of
people. This problem has been solved
through its reorganization and the
situation seems to have greatly
improved. The other major space
problem that exists is in Poets. Often
it i full and is unable to hold the
number of engineers that would like
to use it - especially during pubs. This
is a problem that requires further
examination before a
recommendation for improvemenls
can be made.
2. Image: The second concern was
the effect of such a building on the
formality and image of EngSoc. The
committee felt that commencement of
14 NOT
FORGOTTEN
such a plan would necessitate
increased formalization of EngSoc.
The responsibility necessary to
successfully complete a building
would greatly increase the amount of
time and work that was required by
the EngSoc executives. The committee
also thought that as EngSoc grows,
this formalization will still occur, but
at a slower rate. Therefore the
management of a building would put
additional pressure on people who
already devote a great deal of time to
EngSoc, and that pressure would be
immediate, rather than gradual. This
idea generated some concern within
the committee.
3. Student Life: The final concern
was the re-emergence of the Student
Life Building, now called the Student
Centre. If engineering pursues their
own building now, this action may be
interpreted by the rest of the
university as a slap in the face. In
other words, the engineers are doing
their own thing once again. Since
currently there is a drive to increase
the involvement of engineers in
campus wide activities, these possible
negative effects are not desired.
In summary, the committee felt that
while the idea of our own building is
attractive, the lack of need, lack of
student support, and the possible
ramifications towards engineering
image at this university lead us to the
conclusion that the pursuance of this
project at this time is not in the best
interests of EngSoc B. Therefore the
committee recommends against this
project. It does recommend a
continuation of research so that if at a
future time we attempt this project
EngSoc is prepared. The committee
also recommends that a smaller scale
renovalion of Poets be examined, and
that a formal examination of the space
requirements of EngSoc be
performed. EugSoc A has indicated
lhat they will pursue these ideas and
that their findings will be presented

UW's share of NSERC grants totals $2.8
million
UWNEWS
The University of Waterloo was
one of the chief recipients of research
funding this year from the Natural
Sciences and Engineering Research
Council.
UW received about $2.8 million in
NSERC strategic grants, with 31
faculty members obtaining new or
continuing awards. Results of the
1991-92 national competition were
announced in Waterloo November 12.
The funding helps fuel UW's
contribution to the local economy,
already reaching $245 million in
faculty and staff salaries, as well as in
supplies and services. Factoring in
student and visitor spending, total
economic impact topped $320 million
last year.
At the ceremony presided over by
four UW scientists were
honoured for their research
achievements
federal Science Minister William
Winegard, four UW scientists were
honoured for their research
achievements, along with an equal
number from the University of
Guelph.
Winegard said the competition's
outcome points to the high calibre of
researchers at UW and Guelph.
"These two universities are a driving
force in the new understanding of
d ~ n c e d areas and in the training of
young people for careers in
technology."
He added that the applied nature
of the research helps bridge the two
solitudes of the university and
business communities.
"By building partnerships
between sectors, we increase the
chances that the research results will
meet real needs and will be exploited
in Canada."
Winegard said the competition's
outcome points to the high calibre
of researchers at UWand Guelph.
Winegard said the NSERC
s trategic grants program is one of
several federal initia ti ves to spark
research in advanced technologies,
natural resources and the
environment.
"The program is pre-competitive
research with a mission," he said. "In
each of the fields that the program
supports, these missions are very
carefully designed with consultation
"The program is pre-competitive
research with a mission /I
with potential users in business and
government."
Jointly, UW and Guelph received
14.5 per cent of the grants awarded
under the $37.5 million strategic
program this year. Guelph received
$2.5 million, shared among 30
scientists.

REVIEW
WOODY
CCCP
I'm writing this review in order to
pay tribute to one of the people who
shaped my life. His name is Theodore
Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss.
Some of his notable works are Green
Eggs and Ham, If I Ran the Zoo, How
the Grinch Stole Christmas, and The
Cat in the Hat. One of his harder
hitting novels, The Cat in the Hat was
written in an attempt to pay homage
Dr. Sigmund Freud. It is
the nightmarish fantasy of a renegade
feline helping two young children
understand their frustrated sexuality.
The story opens with the two
youngsters, a brother and a sister,
abandoned by their mother, staring
mournfully through the window of
their single-family dwelling. In the
foreground a large tree (phallic
symbol) dances wildly in the wind,
taunting the children and
encouraging them to succumb to the
sexual yearnings they undoubtedly
feel for each other. Even to the most
unlearned reader, the blatant
references to the incestuous
relationship the two share set the tone
for Seuss' probing examination of the
satisfaction of primitive needs. The
Cat proceeds to charm the wary
youths into engaging in what he so .
innocently refers to as "tricks". At this
point the fish, an obvious Christ
figure who represents the prevailing
Christian morality, attempts to warn
the children, and thus, in effect, warns
all of humanity of the dangers
associated with the unleashing of the
primal urges. In response to this, the
cat proceeds to balance the aquatic
naysayer on the end of his umbrella,
essentially saying,"Down with
morality; down with God!"
After poohpoohing the righteous
rantings of the waterlogged Christ
figure, the Cat begins to juggle several
icons of Western culture, most
notably two books, representing the
Old and New Testaments, and a
saucer of milk, an ironic reference to
Warning: The following article
may completely ruin any fond
memories you may have of
your childhood ... Read at your
own peril
maternal loss the chIldren
experienced when their mother
abandoned them "for the afternoon."
Our heroic Id adds to this bold
gesture a rake and a toy man, and
thus completes the Oedipal triangle.
La ter in the novel, Seuss
introduces the proverbial Pandora's
box, a large red crate out of which the
Id releases Thing One, or Freud's
concept of Ego, the division of the
psyche that serves as the conscious
mediator between he person and
reality, and Thing Two, the Superego
which functions to reward and punish
through a system of moral attitudes,
conscience, and guilt. Referring to this
box, the Cat says,"Now look at this
trick. Take a look!" In this, Dr. 5euss
uses the children as a brilliant
metaph9r for the reader, and asks the
reader to re-examine his/her own
inner self.
The children, unable to control
the Id, Ego, and Superego allow these
creatures to run free and mess up the
house, or more symbolically, control
their lives. This rampage continues
until the fish, or Christ symbol, warns
that the mother is returning to
reinstate the Oedipal triangle that
existed before her abandonment of
the children. At this point, Seuss
introduces a many-armed cleaning
device which represents the
psychoanalytic couch, which proceeds
to put the childrens' lives back in
order.
With powerful simplicity, clarity,
and drama, Seuss reduces Freud's
concepts on the dynamics of the
human psyche to an easily
understood gesture. Dr. Seuss' poetry
and choice of words is equally
impressive and serves as a splendid
counterpart to his bold symbolism. In
all, his writing style is quick and fluid,
making The Cat in the Hat impossible
to put down. While this novel is 61
pages long, and one can read it in five
minu'tes or less, it is not until after
multiple readings that the genius of
this modern day master becomes
apparent.
GET INVOLVED!
Another term is drawing to a
close at Waterloo, and the
CSME/ ASME/SAE at Waterloo has
presented a vanety of mtereshng
seminars and presentations. Topics
included a discussion of diesel
emissions, the use of lasers and robots
in the aerospace industry, biomedical
engineering research, and a
discussion of SAE projects available at
the University of Waterloo.
Additionally, seminars in Toronto
and a plant tour of McDonnell
Douglas in Malton were attended.
Thanks to everyone who participated
this term, please continue to take part
in the future.
The current CSME/ ASME/SAE
student executive is nearing the
conclusion of their term as executive
members. All positions on th
executive are available for
summer term. An enthusiastic group
of individuals are required who arc
interested in developing leadership,
organizational, and interpersonal
skills by organizing and running
events. The structure of the execu tive
is very flexible, allowing for a large or
small student group. A standard
organization would include a
Chairman, Vice Chairman, Treasurer,
Publicity Manager and External
Liaison.
The Chairman and Vice Chairman
organize meetings of the student
executive, plan events and contact
prospective speakers and companies
regarding seminar presentations.
Membership drives are also
coordinated by the Chair.
The Treasurer is responsible for
handling all money managemen
duties, including expense
relmbursement and membership
accounting, by dealing with the
CSME/ ASME/SAE faculty advisor
(Currently Professor Farid
Golnaraghi, Mechanical Engineering).
This position also involves the
maintenance of detailed financial
records.
The Publicity Manager prepares
the advertising of upcoming events
through preparation and distribution
of posters, articles in the Iron Warrior
and Enginews]etter.
The External Liaison coordinates
the schedule of seminars, arranges
speaking venues, and maintains
contnel with spcakl'ls to l'tmfirmtiw

All positions ( f th' 'xccutive
work tngclh'r in pionning and
organization. The lime r{'quircd by
each member of the executiv ' need
only be 1 to 2 hours per w>ck, or even
less with a larg r group. There are
numerous ben'iils of involvem 'nt in
the CSME/ ASMEjSAE xecutive
including seminars and awards;
company contacts, and to quote a
cliche, it looks great on a resume.

Frosh Don't Panic!

Frosh . .. you might think the
current job situation is the most
dismal thing you've ever run into.
Given the current statistics that are
running around, I can't blame you.
Some figures you might be interested
in:
In the summer, co-op services
managed to place 99.7% of the
engineers (ie for this fall term) even
though we were also in a recession at
this time. Maybe they can pull this
one off as well?
John Westlake, Engineering co-
ordinator for co-op and Dean Burns
{the Dean of Engineering) are making
every effort through faculty and grad
contacts to create some new jobs.
For those frosh who watched their
buddies get interviews while they
looked in vain every day over in
Needles Hall, the solution to the
problem may be right under your
nose. The first contact employers have
with you is through your resume and
unless this document sells you very
well, it is unlikely that an employer
will agree to interview.
A resume is not the time to
become shy and reserved. Everyone
elso who you are competing against is
blowing up their experience to the
absolute maximum - you should too.
No matter how little you think you
know, there must be something that
will catch an employer's eye, all you
need to do is find it!
If aU else fails, pick up a book on
resume writing or talk to the upper
years. By now they should have
figured out what to do and not to do
on a resume. Go pick their brains!
Good Luck!
