Fix this textFINDING A JOB
Fix this textA new book on campus! Ho-hum. A book to help you find
Fix this texta job? Now you're talking. Dr Keith Underwood of the
Fix this textStudent Counselling and Research Unit has worked with a
Fix this textnumber of individuals, organisations and companies and
Fix this textdrawn from his own wide experience to produce a 19 page
Fix this textbook of advice on how students can best present themselves
Fix this textto prospective employers. "Even the first written application
Fix this textshould put across your individuality" says Dr Underwood.
Fix this text"Making a good presentation will not necessarily guarantee
Fix this texta job if in fact very few jobs are available. Also, it will not
Fix this textovercome the fact that you may not have the qualifications
Fix this textfor the job in question. However, if you do have the necessary
Fix this textqualifications and there are many applfcants for the job Who
Fix this textalso have the required qualifications, making a good
Fix this textpresentation in your written application and employment
Fix this textinterview may swing things your way".
Fix this textBarbara Crouch of SCRU, who advised on the writing of the
Fix this textbook, says there is no intention of giving job applicants 'a
Fix this textbag of tricks' to fool employers but rather to help students
Fix this textassemble and present their experience, knowledge and interests.
Fix this text"Some students", she says "are perhaps at a disadvantage
Fix this textbecause they may not have had the chance to develop their
Fix this textcommunications skills in their courses, with the result that
Fix this textthey perform badly before a prospective employer".
Fix this textThe book, FINDING A JOB, will be used at the one day
Fix this textjob-finding workshops organised by SCRU but is planned to
Fix this textstand alone as a 'check list'. It is available through SCRU
Fix this text(ext 3682) or the Student Employment and Scholarships
Fix this textUnit (ext 2086).
Fix this textFOUNDING
Fix this textPROFESSOR RETIRES
Fix this text"Sit down and have a vitamin tablet", said
Fix this textProfessor Pat McMahon. The tablet was orange
Fix this textflavoured. The chair was draped with a wool rug.
Fix this textOther rugs and skins dotting desks, tables and
Fix this textwalls spoke of a life dedicated to the scientific
Fix this textstudy of wool, in particular, wool metrology.
Fix this textThe interest in wool started when three-year
Fix this textold Pat McMahon was "bowled over by a lamb"
Fix this texton his father's New Zealand farm. It led him
Fix this textthrough the University of New Zealand, to
Fix this textEngland's University of Leeds for his Ph.D.
Fix this textand post-doctoral research, through nine years
Fix this textin the New Zealand Department of Scientific
Fix this textand Industrial Research, then the Sheep and
Fix this textWool Department of the Sydney Technical
Fix this textCollege and in January 1951 to the University
Fix this textof New South Wales.
Fix this textThe School of Wool Technology which he
Fix this textfounded now the School of Wool and Pastoral
Fix this textSciences is known the world over. Under the
Fix this textdirection of Professor McMahon it has revolution-
Fix this textised wool classing, replacing the subjective
Fix this textassessment of wool with objective scientific
Fix this textmeasurement. To achieve this, apart from the
Fix this textresearch itself, a vast educational job had to be
Fix this textdone within the industry. Professor McMahon's
Fix this textideas met opposition, much of it from powerful
Fix this textpeople with a large investment in doing things
Fix this textthe way they had always been done.
Fix this textIn recognition of his contribution to the wool
Fix this textindustry through research and education.
Fix this textProfessor McMahon was elected a Fellow of the
Fix this textAustralian Society of Animal Production and the
Fix this textAustralian Institute of Agricultural Science. His
Fix this textworld reputation has brought invitations from
Fix this textthe FAO and governments for help in India, the
Fix this textUSSR, Turkey, and Argentina as well as calling
Fix this textfor extensive research in Europe and the USA.
Fix this text"But which country do I like best?" asked
Fix this textProfessor McMahon. "It's got to be Australia
Fix this textbut it's a cow of a country to farm in with a
Fix this texthot and unreliable climate and always dominated
Fix this textby the tryanny of distance."
Fix this textIMMUNE
Fix this textRESPONSE
Fix this textThe burgeoning science of immunology was all
Fix this textthe talk of the campus for five days (3—B July)
Fix this textduring the recess. About 1600 delegates to the
Fix this textThird International Congress of Immunology
Fix this textfilled theatres and lecture halls as they exchanged
Fix this text- their latest research findings and future plans. To
Fix this texteven the casual attender, like your humble
Fix this textUNIKEN reporter, the buzz of intellectual
Fix this textexcitement among delegates was very obvious.
Fix this textThe Secretary-General of the Congress, Professor
Fix this textGeoff Cooper of the School of Microbiology,
Fix this texttold UNIKEN at the conclusion of the mammoth
Fix this textmeet that it was a magnificent demonstration of
Fix this textthe international character of the wide-ranging
Fix this textscience of immunology. Few "international
Fix this textmeetings" in Australia, he said, can claim to
Fix this texthave attracted 1100 overseas delegates from
Fix this text52 countries to outnumber local delegates by
Fix this textmore than 2 to 1.
Fix this textProfessor Cooper also enthused about the success
Fix this textof the organisation in bringing most of the biggest
Fix this textnames in immunology (250 of them according to
Fix this textProfessor Cooper) into contact with a significantly
Fix this textlarge group (about 150) of Australian honours
Fix this textand postgraduate students. He paid tribute to
Fix this textthe University's role as host, saying "the Univer-
Fix this textsity did a great deal to make the delegates feel
Fix this textthey were in a friendly place". »

Fix this textDECISION
Fix this textAction in NIDA'S latest play
Fix this textas "The Hostage" (of the title
Fix this textof Brendan Behan's play) is
Fix this textmanhandled away. In this
Fix this textperformance by the 1977
Fix this textgraduating class, Rio Rita

Fix this textKingston, Private Leslie

Fix this textand Princess Grace by Monroe
Fix this textReimers.
Fix this textBefore presenting diplomas to
Fix this textthe 1976 class on 10 July,
Fix this textSenator John Garrick, Federal
Fix this textMinister for Education, said
Fix this textthe government "is trying to
Fix this textgive some kind of long-term
Fix this textassurance of stability and
Fix this textexpansion to the various units,
Fix this textto the various colleges, that
Fix this textpreviously had had an ad hoc
Fix this textexistence....my government
Fix this texthas determined that we should
Fix this textmake such arrangements for
Fix this textNlDA....there is an assured
Fix this textfuture for IMIDA".
Fix this textCONCERN AT
Fix this textANNUAL FINANCING
Fix this textAt two recent meetings, the Vice-Chancellor
Fix this textProfessor Myers, has reported on the concern,
Fix this textexpressed collectively by all universities, about
Fix this textthe impact of annual planning which has now
Fix this textbeen imposed by the federal government on
Fix this textthe tertiary sector.
Fix this textAt the July meeting of the Professorial Board,
Fix this textProfessor Myers said the Australian Vice-
Fix this textChancellors’ Committee had had a long meeting
Fix this textwith Senator Garrick. The Committee had
Fix this textpresented, "in forthright terms", the universities'
Fix this textdisappointment at the retreat from the govern-
Fix this textment's previous financial undertakings. (In the
Fix this text1976 federal budget, universities had been told
Fix this textthat in 1978 and 1979 planning should proceed
Fix this text"on the basis of a minimum growth of 2 per
Fix this textcent in real terms on the level of expenditure
Fix this textin the preceding year"). Senator Garrick was
Fix this texttold of the hazardous position for universities
Fix this textin reverting to what in effect would now be
Fix this textannual budgeting.
Fix this textProfessor Myers reported to the July meeting
Fix this textof Council that "there could be a decline in
Fix this textresources available to particular universities,
Fix this textin comparable money terms, of up to 5 per
Fix this textcent". While the salary component of funding
Fix this textwill be indexed, the non-salary component
Fix this text(approximately 20% of the University's budget)
Fix this textwill not be supplemented to cover increases in
Fix this textcosts due to inflation. He reiterated that the
Fix this textbiggest worry is the uncertainty about the level
Fix this textof funds available in the years ahead but added
Fix this textthat "it is clearly of the greatest importance to
Fix this textuniversities that inflation be brought under
Fix this textcontrol universities, including UNSW, must
Fix this textplay their part in the achievement of this”.
Fix this textOPPORTUNITY FOR
Fix this textOVER 25s
Fix this text'See what you buy' is more than an ad line for
Fix this textglass containers; it is the basis of the admissions
Fix this textprogram for mature age students those over
Fix this text25 who have not passed matriculation. The
Fix this textprogram operates a self-selecting device which
Fix this textenables applicants to become as fully informed
Fix this textabout Universitylife as possible, and to test their
Fix this textownclarity of purpose, motivation and persistence.
Fix this textThe Mature Age Student scheme is now gearing
Fix this textitself for the 1978 intake. Anyone interested in
Fix this textapplying for university entry under the scheme
Fix this textmust attend one of the meetings to be held in
Fix this textthe Sir John Clancy Auditorium, near Gate 9,
Fix this textHigh Street, at 7pm Tuesday 2 August and
Fix this textWednesday 3 August.
Fix this textThe University Admissions Office would be
Fix this textpleased to answer any questions. Telephone

Fix this textVC AS AVCC HEAD
Fix this textAt a meeting of the Executive of the Australian
Fix this textVice-Chancellors’ Committee held at UNSW on
Fix this text19 July, the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Rupert
Fix this textMyers, was appointed Chairman of the AVCC to
Fix this textsucceed Professor Sir Zelman Cowen.
Fix this textSir Zelman resigned his Chairmanship following
Fix this textthe announcement of his appointment as
