at HKUST 一 the Coffee Shop on the Academic Concourse will open ea『ly this month and the G/F restaurant will re-open under new management on 14 Feb『uary.

To

keep starvation at bay tor faculty members who work late, the Coffee Shop, will stay open until well past 10 p.m. on weekday evenings. It will open at 7.30 a.m. to serve breakfast and during the day it will offer made-to-order sandwiches, soups, baked p。” tatoes, pizza, croissants, scones and a variety of types of coffee. With seating for 80 people indoors and 30-40 people outside the coffee shop, finding a seat shot』 Id not be a problem. The caterer tor The Coffee Shop is The Sandwich Club, which runs a similar type of outlet in Quarry Bay and was set up by Steve Vines, editor-in-chief of the recently-inaugurated English language newspaper, The Eastern Express. The G/F 『estaurant, which initially opens be-tween 7.30 a.m. and 9.30 p.m., will be serving both Chinese and Western dishes. In the mornings the restaurant will offer a small selection of Chinese breakfasts. At lunch time the caterer has promised to serve dim sum -a different selection each day- as well as a variety of popular stir fried dishes. Western food, which will be served in a separate section, will include a salad bar (lunch time only) and a choice of set meals that will vary daily. The price tor lunch will

『angebetween $25-55. The caterer chosen to run the restaurant is the Hong Kong Catering Company, which runs the staff and student canteen at Shaw College, CUHK, and a number of staff and student canteens at two technical institutes.

Atthesta叫 ofthe Fall Semester, renovation work on the LGI venues, which include a cafeteria, a western restaurant and a lounge, will be completed. The G/F staff restaurant will then become fully Chi -nese.

All these exciting changes have come about as a result of the e衍。此sof the members of the now defunct

Catering and Club Needs (CCN) Group. They con-ducted surveys, toured the sta仔 catering outlets of other institutions and consulted the catering officials and staff catering 『epresentativesthere. Based on their findings they submitted recommendations tor staff catering arrangements to the University Man-agement. Later the Staff Catering and Club Facilities Management Committee (SCCFMC) was estab-lished. Their first task was to invite tenders to operate the coffee shop and staff restaurants. During the

一、 ANd －－t ’，再叫－ 3 叫“可一

selection process which followed, interested cater-ers submitted preliminary proposals which were then short-listed tor the submission of formal tenders. SCCFMC working groups then visited some of the outlets operated by the finalists, solicited informal comments from users, interviewed the caterers and assessed them by means of a carefully devised scoring system before awarding the final contracts. In simple terms, no e行。吋 wasspared in the selection of caterers as campus catering is an imp。此antmatter that concerns all sta何．

When the catering outlets begin their operation, comments and suggestions on the food services provided at the outlets should be forwarded to the Campus Services Office. Bon appetit to all in the Year of the Dog.

The CAD/CAM Centre

y the end of this year HKUSTwill have yet another

state-of-the-artfacility-a300 square metre CAD/CAM Centre, equipped with the most sophisticated CAD/CAM tools.

The Centre, which will be located on the 4/F of Phase II, will suppo付 teaching and research throughout the School of

Engi-neering, and also within other departments at HKUST that have need of it. It will also focus on multi卜disc1叭inaryand application oriented research programmes that will make an impact on the manufacturing industry of Hong Kong and the surrounding region. Another aim is to provide stimulus for collaboration and interaction between HKUST and both local industry and inter-national bodies.

The budget for the purchase of equipment and computer software fo『 the Centre is US$2 million.

“

Our strategy in equipment procurement is to get consignments f「omeither local or international companies and work with them on projects of mutt」alinterest’”says Dr Matthew Yuen, Interim Director of the Centre. “Software companies such as Computervision, who have an agreement with the Mechanical Engineering Depa付－

ment, are interested in extending their programs to the Centre. Negotiations are also being conducted with machine tool ven-dors and manufacturers. The state-of-the-art facilities will be used to suppo吋 both design and manufacturing teaching and

「esearch in the University, and to a certain extent, to suppo吋

some training activities.’,

Eventually the Centre will be equipped with rapid prototyping machines, which will be able to produce prototypes from 3-D graphic output. The only other facility like this in Hong Kong is at the Hong Kong Productivity Centre, and is shared by a number of companies.

In terms of computing, the intention is for the Centre to provide a distributed system, which individual departments can

access from their own stations. Multi-disciplinary re告earch activi-ties, meanwhile, will be conducted in the Centre itself.

The CAD/CAM Centre will be the vehicle to spearhead multi司 disciplinary research and development programmes in compu-ter-aided engineering and will work with other Institutes estab” lished within HKUST, such as the Advanced Manufacturing Institute (AMI). The programme driven nature of the Centre will ensure that it will make significant impact on the economic development of Hong Kong and its region.

B』azers!

by Al Clancy

task force from the EMO invaded Sai Kung Country Park on Sunday, 16 January, for a hill walking exercise. The pa此ywas a mixed group of staff and families, with ages ranging from 12 years to 60+. For the Security Office the event was part of their physical fitness programme, and for the other pa叫icipantsit was pure R & R.

'An interesting and successful day was enjoyed by the whole

pa付y,and the only casualty, who suffered minor abrasions, was competently treated thanks to the first aid training previously given by SEPO. The EMO ex-army map readers piloted the route through the hills quite easily, even though the sun didn

’

t shine much and magnetic no付hon the compass sometimes seemed to be wrong.

George Lomas states’”As the veteran of the pa付yI found that the uphill sections were longer and steeper than those going down, but with the encouragement of the younger members I successfully accomplished the course. It was an excellent day

out, and I would recommend other University staff to hold similar events and make greater use of these marvellous amenities which are on our doorstep.’,

EMO thanks Mr Chik Tak Kan of the Security Office for his excellent arrangements, and Cafe de Coral for the sandwiches.

GAGO replies:“Because of a shortage of single deck air-conditioned buses, KMB has informed the Transport

Depa叫mentthat Route 291 cannot now be introduced until October 1994. However, as an inte『im measure, KMB will

improve the peak hour frequency on Route 91 M by deploying additional buses. GAGO will continue to liaise with the Transport Department in monitoring the bus service to the

the Security Office and rely on their initiative, skill and courage to deal with it.

“

To relocate a captured snake to a country park would simply move the problem elsewhere, and if it attacked

someone in a remote location, the resL』 Its could be much more disastrous than an attack in an urban area where medical aid is more readily available.

TALK OF THE CAMPUS

H。wling

in

the New Year

by Ray Dragan

ebruary 1 O marks the sta叫 ofa new year according to the traditional Chinese lunar calendar. Avid stamp collectors and astrology buffs alike will be aware that we are bidding farewell to the Year of the Rooster and 『ingingin the Year of the Dog. But not everyone will realize that this Year of the Dog is further qualified as the Year of the Wood Dog, not to be confused with a wooden dog or the dogwood.

“

Wood

”

refers to one of the five agents identified in Chinese cosmology, the other four being Fire, Earth, Metal and Water.

So what does all this mean for you and me? We will leave the technical details to professional astrologers. Only they are qualified to determine the fates of children born during this year and predict the financial fortunes of Hong Kong

’

s investors for the next 12 months.

On the lighter side, we can speculate on the fates and fortunes of our animal friends as they may be affected by the Year of the Wood Dog. For instance:

一 Cats will experience a tumultuous year, spending most of their time up a tree

;

一 Micewill find spare time to invest in outside pursuits (since most cats will be preoccupied and otherwise over stressed);

一 Woodchucks will find themselves dog-tired from beating around the bush

;

- Fleas will live tu叫ively,with no concern for long or short falls

;

Termites will find plenty of interesting material on which to chew

;

一 Bookwormswill develop a strong appetite for doggerel.

Perhaps we were barking up the wrong tree when we

expected to make you readers howl with laughter. But if humour is a key to good heal咐， thenhopefully our musings have at least amused you and put you on the right foot to sta叫 thenew year!
