Fix this textchemical analysis instrument
Fix this textwhich promises a new class of

Fix this textwith important environmental

Fix this textDr Michael Guilhaus, a Lec-
Fix this textturer in the Department of Analyti-
Fix this textcal Chemistry, is the leader of a
Fix this textteam developing a prototype of a
Fix this textnew time-of-flight mass spectrom-
Fix this texteter, which has been patented by
Fix this textUnisearch Ltd, UNSW’s commer-
Fix this textcial development and consulting

Fix this textThe innovative design results
Fix this textfrom a two-year collaboration by
Fix this textthe co-inventors, Dr Jim Dawson,
Fix this textan Honorary Visiting Fellow, and
Fix this textDr Guilhaus and has already at-
Fix this texttracted interest from Australian and
Fix this textoverseas instrument companies.
Fix this textThe instrument, called an or-
Fix this textthogonal acceleration time-of-flight
Fix this textmass spectrometer (TOF-oa) is for-
Fix this texttuituously timed to take advantage
Fix this textof the latest developments in
Fix this textelectronics and computing.
Fix this textDr Guilhaus said that state-of-
Fix this textthe-art ion detection technology is
Fix this textcrucial to the TOF-oa and will lead

Fix this textproposal
Fix this textThree rural colleges of
Fix this textadvanced education in NSW
Fix this textcould in time achieve univer-
Fix this textsity status if they developed as
Fix this textuniversity colleges under the
Fix this textsponsorship of the University
Fix this textof NSW, Mr John Dawkins
Fix this textannounced on 2 April.
Fix this textMr Dawkins said the Federal
Fix this textGovernment would consider the
Fix this textlong-term funding of research and
Fix this textpostgraduate infrastructure at the
Fix this textthree institutions if they became
Fix this textuniversity colleges, and eventually,
Fix this textthe components of a university in
Fix this textits own right.
Fix this text“However, any unilateral des-
Fix this textignation of the three institutions as
Fix this texta single university at this time
Fix this textwould compromise Federal funding
Fix this textof the necessary research and post-
Fix this textgraduate infrastructure. It would
Fix this textalso complicate the decision, to be
Fix this textmade soon, on whether Mitchell
Fix this textCollege (at Bathurst) and the
Fix this textRiverina-Murray Institute of
Fix this textHigher Education (at Wagga
Fix this textWagga) should become a distance
Fix this texteducation supplier.”
Fix this textBoth institutions are presently
Fix this textstrong candidates for designation as
Fix this texta Distance Education Centre.
Fix this text“The Federal Government is
Fix this textquite willing to consider its finan-
Fix this textcial commitment to funding needed
Fix this textto develop a separate university
Fix this textstructure if the university college
Fix this textarrangement goes ahead.
Fix this text“However, simply designating
Fix this textan institution as a university does
Fix this textnot automatically make it one.
Fix this textLong term planning is necessary to
Fix this textsecure standards which would be
Fix this textrecognised nationally and inter-
Fix this textnationally,” the Minister said.
Fix this textMr Dawkins said designation
Fix this textof the tlirce* rural institutions as
Fix this textuniversity colleges would give stu-
Fix this textdents in the central west and
Fix this textRiverina areas greatly improved
Fix this textaccess to UNSW’s Kensington
Fix this textcampus and the opportunity to
Fix this textreceive educational services from
Fix this textone of the most prestigious institu-
Fix this texttions in Australia.

Fix this textstitutional arrangements in NSW
Fix this textfollow his discussions with a
Fix this textspecial taskforce on institutional ar-
Fix this textrangements which has been visiting
Fix this textcolleges and universities through-
Fix this textout Australia.

Fix this textAcademics petition
Fix this textPremier Greiner
Fix this textA delegation of senior
Fix this textacademic staff members from
Fix this textUNSW delivered a list of over
Fix this text600 signatures to Mr John
Fix this textHarvey, the Principal Private
Fix this textSecretary to Premier Greiner,
Fix this textat the State Office Block on 28
Fix this textMarch.
Fix this textThe list of academic signatures
Fix this textis part of a protest calling on the
Fix this textMinister for Education, Mr Terry
Fix this textMetherell, to rescind a plan to dis-
Fix this textestablish the UNSW and reconsti-
Fix this texttute it as a network University
Fix this textinvolving other country colleges.
Fix this textThe academics recommend in-
Fix this textstead that the University of New
Fix this textSouth Wales Act (1968) be retained
Fix this textand the University sponsors the
Fix this textColleges and assists them in their
Fix this textefforts to attain University status.
Fix this textThe delivery of the signatures
Fix this textfollowed an unprecedented meeting
Fix this textat lire University on 22 March at
Fix this textwhich a gathering of more than
Fix this text1,200 people unanimously rejected
Fix this textthe Minister’s plan (see page 2).
Fix this textOne of the delegates, Associate
Fix this textProfessor George Paxinos, of the
Fix this textSchool of Psychology, said the
Fix this textresponse from academics had been
Fix this textunanimous from the schools and
Fix this textfaculties where the collection has
Fix this textbeen completed. “Other academics
Fix this textwill continue to add their names,”
Fix this texthe said.
Fix this textThe delegation to Mr Harvey
Fix this textincluded Professor Paxinos, Pro-
Fix this textfessor lan Sloan, Head of the
Fix this textSchool of Mathematics; Professor
Fix this textJohn Milfoil, Dean of the Faculty
Fix this textof Arts; Professor Barbara
Fix this textGillam, Head of the School of
Fix this textPsychology; and Professor Clive
Fix this textKessler, of the School of
Fix this textSociology.
Fix this textProfessor Milfull told Mr
Fix this textHarvey the signatures represented a
Fix this textunanimous opposition at the Uni-
Fix this textversity to the proposals in their
Fix this textpresent form. “It is not an in-
Fix this texttractable position,” he said, “but I
Fix this textdo hope you understand how
Fix this textdeeply we feel about the issue. We
Fix this textneed a fresh look at the situation.”
Fix this textProfessor Gillam said it was
Fix this textunusual to gel a University aroused
Fix this textin the way people at UNSW are
Fix this textaroused over the issue. “The Uni-
Fix this textversity does not have a name for
Fix this texttradition or wonderful buildings,”
Fix this textshe said. “It has become what it is
Fix this textbecause of its staff.”
Fix this textFranking machine
Fix this textProfessor Kessler said the Uni-
Fix this textversity would find it difficult to
Fix this textclaim national and international
Fix this textstatus if its academics lost control
Fix this textof the “franking machine” to pro-
Fix this textduce degrees.
Fix this textProfessor Sloan said there was
Fix this texta deep feeling that the University
Fix this textAct was going to be dissolved. “I
Fix this texthope the Government will be pur-
Fix this textsuaded to back down on the legis-
Fix this textlation,” he said.
Fix this textMr Harvey told the delegation
Fix this textthat the Premier had already met
Fix this textwith the Chancellor, Justice
Fix this textGordon Samuels, who had put “a
Fix this textforceful case”. “This delegation
Fix this textshows the message is consistent
Fix this textand the University is speaking with
Fix this textone voice,” he said.
Fix this textFollowing the petition hand-
Fix this textover, the same delegation met with
Fix this texta policy planner from the Ministry
Fix this textfor Education.
Fix this textMr Paul Hallahan, Foreman of the School of Chemistry’s Mechanical
Fix this textWorkshop explains a detail of the TOF-oa’s main chamber to Dr Jim
Fix this textDawson, Dr Michael Guilhaus and Mr Peter Sweeney, who is doing the
Fix this textfinal drawings and construction of the TOF-oa. Mr Sweeney topped his
Fix this textgraduation year in Mechanical Engineering at UNSW last year.

Fix this textwas created by Dr Dawson and Dr Guilhaus to help them design their
