pe Committee on Office

ymation has decided to support two scientific text processing software packages. The two packages, PC,.. and T°, satisfy different objectives. PC,.. is compatible with the MTS,., version and the files of text and mark-up commands are interchangeable between them. T° is interactive software that executes on a suitably equipped IBM or Zenith Personal Computer providing a “what-you-see-is-what-you-get” (“wysiwyg”) environment.

The results achieved with each package are very similar. When driving suitable printers both are capable of producing high quality output that satisfies most scientific text publication requirements. In either case, the range of fonts and ability to compose and repeat complex scientific notations are remarkable.

For more information on the capabilities of the software packages, and equipment needed to make use of them, please take note of the following.

PC... is supported to a limited

t by Computing Services Text Cin Section (telephone 432-2697). Introductory courses may be arranged if sufficient interest is registered. In-depth support is available from the supplier at the telephone number given in each PC,., manual.

T°, likely to be the more commonly used package, is supported by Office Automation (telephone 432-3318). Courses in T° are planned to start in November and will probably last three days and cost around $175. Skills upgrading courses may be approved by and paid for by Personnel Services and Staff Relations.0

La Occupational Health and Safety Record Considered “Very Good’

Campus is becoming more safety-conscious, says Gordon Weir, Coordinator of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS). “Considering the large number of staff and students, our safety record was very good,” he says, in an annual report that cites drops in both accidents requiring compensation and dollars lost

through campus fires.

Job accidents were highest where the loads are heaviest: Building Services, Physical Plant, Building and Grounds Maintenance. Housing and Food Services, and Materials Management were 1985's medium-risk departments, by job accident breakdown.

Remember back care and lifting

techniques, advises the OHS report. And please don’t use something else, when what you really need is a ladder.

How to Make Good Things Happen

Money makes good things happen: @ $35 gives a homeless teenager three meals a day for a week (Youth Emergency Shelter).

@ With $150, a kid can go to camp for a week and have fun learning and achieving, instead of hanging around on the streets (Boysdale Camp).

© $300 helps the Food Bank collect and distribute 53 food hampers to families whose cupboards are bare (Edmonton’s Food Bank). (By the end of August, 112,000 people had been able to put food on their plates thanks to 37,814 hampers from the Bank’s emergency hamper program.)

The United Way helps support up to 60 agencies and programs like these in Edmonton and surrounding areas.

This year the need out there is greater than ever. Many people who have never asked for help before are finding themselves forced to ask for it now.

To meet that need, the United Way has set a goal of $6.3 million—nine percent more than last year.

Our campus goal is $150,000. To 23 October, $86,889.03 has been raised.

Will you help us reach our target?

What ever you can give, whether it’s a one-time gift or a monthly contribution, may help a friend or neighbor in desperate need.

Those who need your help may be too proud to ask. So will you take time now to write a cheque? Or fill out and send to the Comptroller's Office the pledge form on the back page of this issue of Folio? (Even $2 a month adds up when everybody gives.)

Please.

Among the 41 United Way member agencies for 1986-87 are the Red Cross, Arthritis Society, Victorian Order of Nurses, Canadian Mental Health Association, Girl Guides and Boy Scouts, CNIB, Youth Emergency Shelter, Edmonton’s Food Bank,Jewish Family Services, Goodwill Rehabilitation Service of Alberta, Boysdale Camp Foundation, and the Elizabth Fry and John Howard Societies.

Programs receiving developmental grants include such diverse projects as the Association for the Hearing Handicapped’s program for counselling deaf adults, Kara Family Support Centre, Volunteer Reading Aides of Edmonton, and Win House’s parenting group

The ‘800 Series’

An initiative of the Office of Public Affairs and the External Relations Committee of the AASUA is now bearing fruit. The initiative? As a collaborative venture with the Edmonton Journal, to place in that newspaper a series of opinion pieces written by University staff that deal with issues of particular interest to the Journal’s readers.

Four of the “800 Series” articles so far prepared have already appeared prominently in the Edmonton Journal, after minor revisions suggested by the Editor of the editorial page, Roy Cook. The articles range far and wide in subject matter. They began appearing last month with an offering by Kanhaya Gupta (Economics) on the value of marriage in modern society (17 September; reprinted in this issue of Folio).

Jim Hackler (Sociology) has discussed the government as a “drug pusher” (16 October); Brian Wilkinson (Economics) has explored free trade issues (22 October); and Heidi Studer (Political Science) has asked for more appropriate data to support discussions of the deterrent value of capital punishment (1 October).

Future articles will deal with nutrition and prevention of cancer, educational jurisdictions, Alberta’s economic downswing, and, among others, patents and pharmaceuticals, and the U.S. Strategic Defense Initiative.

AASUA coordinator for the articles is Tom Powrie, Economics professor and Chairman of the association’s External Affairs Committee. His telephone number is 432-3553.

Hints for contributors. Do not say that we are good. Do not ask for money. Do not write about the University. Do write about topics of interest to readers of the Edmonton Journal. Be controversial. Write in a simple, lucid style. Most difficult of all, choose a topic that can be addressed in not more than 800 words.O

Serious Business

We hear people lamenting with depressing regularity, “Whatever happened to the good old days when the phrase ‘till death do us part’ really meant something?” Have things really changed that much? Is romance not the guiding light it used to be? These are not the questions to be easily brushed aside, for they lie at the very foundation of our society’s social structure and of our happiness.

What is the matter with the institution of marriage?

Since 1970, Canada’s divorce rate has nearly doubled and the marriage rate has gone down. Yet marriage remains alive and well.

It may sound unromantic, if not downright crass, to suggest that marriage, in which two willing partners voluntarily enter into a

terminate the marriage.

Does the recent escalation of the divorce rate mean people are less rational than they used to be? The answer is certainly not. This escalation merely reflects the fact

ot people’s notions, particularly

2 of women, have changed.

Ihe proportion of women in the labor force increased from 38 percent in 1970 to 53 percent in 1983. The participation of married women, without children and of those with pre-school children, went up from 40 to 50 percent and from 27 to 48 percent, respectively, from 1971 to 1981. During this same period, the percentage of women in the labor force with post-secondary and university education went up from 13 to 36 percent. In numbers, the female labor force has grown by over two million, and a large proportion of these women have chosen careers formerly dominated by men. Women have made major strides in the labor market. They can now make it alone if they need to or want to.

The benefits and costs of marriage have changed from the “good old” days. In the case of women, these factors tend to reduce the costs of not marrying and increase the benefits of terminating a marriage, thus rng the threshold of benefits 1__.red to motivate them either to marry or to stay in a marriage. But these very factors, in a male dominated society, may be perceived by men as adding to the costs of marrying and staying married, thus lowering the threshold where both the act of marrying and staying in a marriage become attractive. The effect on both men and women leads to an increase in divorce and a decrease in the marriage rate, precisely the phenomenon we observe.

Marriage is an example of

decision-making under uncertainty.

Like all such decisions, there is always the risk of a mistake. However, that isn’t too bad. After all, if that wasn’t the case, where would the romance of it all be?*O

Chair Selection Committees

Taking Count of Pollution’s Deadly Doses

Atmospheric chemist James R. Pitts Jr. opens by defining the word “expert” for his 1986 Gunning lecture series audience.

“That’s someone from out of town, with good slides,” says the jovial head of California’s state-wide air pollution research centre in Riverside, due east of Los Angeles.

“Harry told me I could drop in for a martini, back in the Fifties,” he jokes, softening up his audience for the first of three lectures looking at the background and history of pollution, the techniques used to measure it, and the links between pollutants and cancer.

Author of Photochemistry (1966) and co-author of Atmospheric Chemistry (1986), Dr. Pitts is the fast-talking creator of an internationally-recognized centre for a discipline whose work “affects your lives and your pocketbooks” in its strategies on issues like acid rain control.

A new discipline, but one dealing with some very ancient problems. Maimonides, eight centuries ago, complained about Cairo’s “turbid, thick, misty and foggy air”, warned his readers that it caused “dullness of understanding, failure of intelligence and defects of memory”, and recommended a move to the suburbs. In 17th century England, John Evelyn picked up the theme, noting how the “smoake of London... kills our bees and flowers.”

In this century, atmospheric scientists became more precise in their predictions. Sometimes horrifyingly so. In 1936, Firket published his analysis of the deaths in the Meuse valley attributable to a combination of fog, soot and stagnant air. The same conditions occurring in London would result in 3,200 sudden deaths, he said. Just 16 years later, in one smoggy week of December 1952, almost 4,000 Londoners died from air pollution-related causes.

“Our job is to find the dose (of pollutants) at the point of impact,”

Pitts at the board. The Harry Emmett Gunning Lectures replaced those of the Edward Herbert Boomer Lectures in 1983.

says Dr. Pitts, of the work of his research centre at University of California, Riverside. “Then the plant scientists move in. Our centre is a beautiful place for chemists and plant scientists to talk in.”

And hopefully act, too. In the past four years a new, grim word has entered the German language: Waldsterben, the death of the forest. In 1982, eight percent of that country’s soft and hardwood forests suddenly died. By the next year, 34 percent. Now, only half are left.

Dr. Pitts flashes another slide, this time of Mount Mitchell, highest mountain in the eastern United States. All the red spruce on the mountain’s upper slopes are dead, victims of airborne pollutants. The Swiss, for whom forest degradation means increased avalanche risk, are concerned. The Swedes see it occurring on their southern border with Norway, and Chinese visitors to the UCR centre have identified it as one of their many pollution problems.

“It’s a world-wide phenomenon,” says Dr. Pitts.

It’s 10 o'clock on the morning of the last Gunning lecture. In the fourth floor lounge of Chemistry Dr. Pitts talks over coffee about pollution laws, our environmental future, and Harry Gunning’s martini promise of 30 years ago. This in summary is what he said: Air quality control standards drive technology. As an adviser to government, I’ve heard the presidents of the largest companies in the United States say (for instance) it’s impossible to put catalysts on cars, it'll bankrupt us. The California board involved said you must put the catalysts on in two years. They all did it. Air pollution hit Pasadena in the 1950s: photochemical smog, your eyes

watered, very high levels of ozone. The president of a major motor vehicle company said, motor vehicles cannot cause this. (I’ve got the quote from the Los Angeles Times.) In time, it became apparent that auto exhaust and sunlight formed these things.

But we didn’t fully understand the chemistry, what the reactions—and their speed—were. We knew only a small part of what I’ve given here in my lectures. Despite that, in 1961, the then-governor of California (a Democrat) said that every car had to have a device that recycled hydrocarbon vapors from the crankcase back into the car, instead of into the air.

Then in 1966, the State of California said that hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide emissions from exhausts had to be lowered. The automobile industry made the engines run leaner, putting in more oxygen, or fitted air pumps. It was a flaw in the law. The law said what you had to lower, but not what you couldn’t raise. Carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen doubled—and it was legal.

High levels of ozone showed up downwind. In 1971, the first controls on oxides of nitrogen went on in California. Initially, the cars had very poor performance. They were lousy. There was a great deal of public unhappiness. But also a great deal of courage on the part of California: they took on the whole federal government, and forced a law, that California could have stricter standards than the rest of the country. The automobile companies fought tooth and nail, saying it’s got to be one federal standard. California said no, we have a special problem. That’s why we led the way. Tight controls began under a Democrat, then Reagan kept the same philosophy, then Jerry Brown, very liberal, came in for his two terms: same tight controls. Now we've got a Republican governor, but the same approach.

The people of California have always been concerned about air pollution—and they’re willing to pay the price, for effective control. The politicians have personal commitment as individuals, Democrats or Republicans, to reduce air pollution. It isn’t just automobiles. Refineries and power plants were once under county-type jurisdictions, which became “air basins.” (Everyone realized that the air blew out of Los Angeles into Pomona, Claremont and Riverside.) Can you imagine

page three, Folio, 30 October 1986

how politically hard it was, to bring together five or six counties and say, we're going to have one agency control your emissions? The atmosphere doesn’t recognize political lines.

Three-Way Catalysts

The good news, circa 1980, was the introduction of three-way catalysts—and these do the job, they reduce hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and oxides of nitrogen. The mileage is back up to what it was in the ‘good ole days’. Emissions are dramatically lowered, and the car has performance. I believe in the ingenuity of American industry. It has come through.

I’m more generally optimistic today than I was 20 years ago. The 1960s provided the U.S. and Canada with a look at a different side of life. It wasn’t all bad. We had our riots, on our campus. (I might say, I gave my lectures at the time of the problems.) At the time of the Cambodian invasion, I had 300 students, lectured for 45 minutes (students were walking out everywhere). I said, J give you half an hour off for the invasion, then write your congressmen or senator. I did. I wrote John Tunney. Known him since I was a kid. Used to play tennis with him.

The world is more sophisticated and concerned, more apt to put pressure on the political bodies to conform with its thinking. And it has more power to do so. People of all ages are saying, we can make a change. Back in the 1950s, Harry Gunning was an assistant professor at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago. I was at Northwestern, as an assistant instructor. Photochemistry was just starting, at Oxford and Cambridge, with Steacie at the National Research Council in Ottawa, a Rochester group, and my boss Francis Blacet at UCLA. As “disciples”, Harry and I became acquainted. Back then, the ground rules said, no slides. The old pro’s would all chat, have a drink. Very civilized. Now, from this little thing that happened in the 1950s, we have international conferences with hundreds of people attending.

I admired Harry Gunning’s science, and I liked him a lot. In 1957, when I was offered the chance to start up my own campus in Riverside, we met over dinner and a martini. There’s a big disadvantage over leaving a superb school like Northwestern, to start up in a tiny building, no graduate program. But Harry thought it looked like a great opportunity, and I took the gamble. So that’s how I’m here. Over that martini, 30 years ago.0

President’s Advisory Committee

on Sexual Harassment (PACSH):

The President’s Advisory Committee on Sexual Harassment (PACSH) was established in October 1982 to investigate sexual harassment complaints and to educate staff and students about issues relating to sexual harassment. This is our fourth annual report to the campus community.

Educational Programs

Some 60 ‘drop-in’ information sessions were held during 1985-86 in 30 locations on campus, including the Lister student residence. Sessions were also held for senior management. These sessions were hosted by the 17 members of PACSH and by the PACSH Co-ordinator. At these sessions we explained how PACSH deals with complaints of sexual harassment and showed the City of Edmonton’s film on sexual harassment. Questions were asked about a range of topics, including sexual harassment, sexual assault, sex discrimination, pin-ups, sexist treatment on the job and sexist comments in the classroom.

Review of Procedures

PACSH’s procedures for investigating written complaints of sexual harassment were endorsed in 1982 by the four associations (the Students’ Union, the Non-Academic Staff Association, the Association of Academic Staff and the Graduate Students’ Association). Since that time PACSH has obtained approval each year for a number of changes. During 1985-86, proposals were made to revise the procedures extensively. The review will continue into fall 1986. New procedures should be in place shortly thereafter.

Summary Annual Report: 1 July 1985 - 30 June 1986

Sexual Harassment Situations 1985-86

Over the past four years we have found that individuals with a sexual harassment problem usually want to resolve the problem as quickly and quietly as possible. Most people who called the TALK line this year (432-TALK) spoke first with the Chair of PACSH, Anne McLellan, and then decided on some strategy for informal resolution, such as writing a letter to the alleged harasser or seeking help from the head of their department. During 1985-86, PACSH received 15 complaints of sexual harassment. Complaints were made by both men and women. Complaints from each of the four constituent groups were received. The alleged harassers also

spanned all four constituent groups.

There were no formal, written complaints during 1985-86. Of the 15 verbal complaints, six were resolved informally and in eight cases the complainants did not report back on whether or not resolution was reached. One case is on-going.

Case Statistics 1982-86

In its annual reports published each fall in Gateway and Folio, PACSH has reported the number of complaints received the previous year. These reports have been deliberately brief in order to ensure confidentiality. For this year’s annual report, PACSH feels that some global statistics can be reported without breaching the confidentiality of individual complaints:

‘Partners in Preventing Crime’

Crime in Edmonton is not as prevalent as many people believe but our relatively low crime rate cannot be taken for granted. Dennis Dahlstedt, Training and Investigations, Campus Security, says it takes interested and well-informed citizens, working together, to keep our city and campus safe and enjoyable. National Crime Prevention Week

is 2 to 8 November and the slogan for the week is “Partners in Preventing Crime.” Mr. Dahlstedt points out three basic ways in which we can aid in crime prevention: follow basic safety precautions at home, work and on the street; join colleagues and neighbors in cooperative crime prevention activities; and participate in activities which

provide alternatives for people “who might be disposed to crim’ ' activity, or which redirect offenders from their past involvement in crime.”
