An Internal Communication

Hong l<ong and Hl<UST:

Housing

l廿1

the

co『1tim』ed

influx

of 仰

pie to Hong Kong and the Univer-sity, available housing is fast be-coming a rarity.

But on campus, at least, there is hope for students, as PVC-AB Mr Ian MacPherson describes. The University has secured a bank loan for a graduate student residence and is in negotiation with Govern-ment to attain funding fo 「 under­

graduate housing.

By Februa「y 1993, 2,07 4 stu司

dent residence rooms were com-plete. These were to house 1, 720

undergraduates and 354 graduates. That was fine then, but now the University has 4,361 undergradu-ate and almost 900 graduate students.

Plans are, says EMO director Mr Mike Hudson, to build 1,080 graduate single rooms by fall 1996, pos-sibly converting the current graduate hall (354 rooms) to undergraduate housing, some rooms of which may become double rooms. A bank loan for the graduate hall has been secured,

repayable with rent paid by the students.

And further down the road, pending Government approv剖,

undergraduate rooms for 1, 100 students will be built. UPGC

sup-po前s the plans

;

Gov-ernment approval is hoped for in the 1995

-1996 fiscal year, with

construction to be completed about three years later.

Then the University will be able to provide hous-ing to『 1,080of 1,400 graduate students (the Phase II plan) and more than 3,000 of 5,600

undergradu-ates, says Mr Hudson.

The research staff situation is quite different. Research staff below the senio『 staffranks have no contractual housing entitlement, but a unit of the junior staff housing built in Phase II was designated for rental to this category of staff at market rates. This was in response to the rapid growth in the University

s research programs, which employ considerable numbers of research staff, often recruited from China and overseas.

There are 29 flats, most outfitted to house four staff each, for a total of 116 places in the Research Staff Quarters (RSQ). At present, 95 of the places are occupied, according to Mrs Vivien Choi Cheung, Campus Services manager.

Prof. Peter Dobson, director of PCO, explains that unde『 cu『rent policy places in the RSQ are available only for full-time research staff and can be reserved only for those staying a minimum of three months. There is, at present, no maximum-stay limit.

It isn

t likely we will be able to expand the supply of RSQ type housing," Prof Dobson says,“so we may

need to reconsider that policy. If the RSQ eventually

fills up with more or less permanent residents, we will lose a lot of our flexibility.

faculty on cor『ectuse of hazardous equipment, checks the safety of equipment and maintains othe『 safety standards.

About half of the duties require field work: sampling and surveying equipment and the state of laboratories and other potentially unsafe situations. The other half requires office wo『k:writing reports and making tables.

ORGANIC AND WATER analysis keeps Rachel Chu busy.

This means that she analyzes the O『ganismsin the air and water, including sewage and bay water.

Before sta吋mgwith SEPO one year ago, Rachel finished a

graduate degree at Hong Kong University. She likes SEPO

because

It’s not just technical work, but

also I am involved in some applications of

accreditation of the labs, and I write method

documents for the analyses I pe斤。rm.” In her leisure time, Rachel enjoys tennis and jogging, and can be found in

the fitness center during lunch.

A traveler, Rachel has visited 10

countries in Western Europe, as well as Japan and China. Her favorite place is Turkey.

It is different from other European countries, and it

s cheaper, too. Europe

s churches and palaces were all very similar. But Turkey

s architecture is very di仔erent.”

Rachel's future travel hopes include Chicago, New York and

Boston to visit friends attending U.S. universities.

READING RANl<S at the top of Peter Diu

s list of favorite

things to do. He

s currently reading A Man in the Making, a book tor men to better understand their own struggles and roles;but he

also spends much time reading materials related to his job. Peter worked with an industrial hygiene consulting firm in Los Angeles before he took his position at

SEPO.

I like this job because I get a lot

ofexposu 『e,and I learn a lot. Professional

development is very good.

Peter likes a variety of sports, pa同icu­

larly soccer - he even visited the Rose Bowl when he was in California just to see where the soccer finals would be played.

“It's hard to appreciate the excitement while watching TV. But I imagined the game when I visited the stadium’”Peter says.

The Prince of Tides" is the best movie Peter has seen.

It described a man and the struggles in his life. I can let myself feel what he is struggling. I was quite moved by the movie.

AFTER 22 YEARS in the British Army, Sui Tong Ho was a security controller with HKUST before moving to SEPO in Janu-ary 1993.

I like this job because I give safety advice to others.

There is a long history of poor safety behavior by workmen, and I want to change that’”Sui Tong says.

Sui Tong

s duties involve leading fire safety courses;meeting with sta筒, contractors and government people about safety measures

;

inspecting sites

;

and investigating accidents.

Sui Tong spends much of his time learning new things. He

recently completed an English course, but he also attends a number of safety

P『ograms,as well.“TheUnive『sitygives

chances to upgrade yourself through joining courses," he says.

The A「my p「ovided Sui Tong with

oppo付unities to travel in Great Britain and Europe.

My favorite is Britain

be-cause of the language一I could understand!”

Sui Tong also is a supporting actor on SEPO's intorma” tional video.“I got into some of the shots in there," he says.

THE BEAUTIFUL CAMPUS and working with people is what Tammy Lo likes most about wo『king at HKUST. Tammy is responsible tor the safety of

the Chemical Engineering Department, SAO and the swimming pool. Tammy also monitors food hygiene in the va『i­

ous campus eateries, as well as

moni-toring workers’exposure to chemicals.

I like the environment here, and I like to communicate with people

,'’

Tammy says.

Not to neglect the finer things in life, Tammy enjoys time

with her two-year-old son, ice cream and chocolate. She also

attends church every Sunday. To enhance her personal

knowl-edge, she takes evening safety cou 『ses.

Hopes are to visit the United States next year;Tammy already has hit Australia, Singapore, Thailand, China and

Macau.

OCCUPATIONAL HYGIENE is the responsibility of Alex Tse Chun-kuen,

who has been with HKUST tor one year. He used to work in a commercial labora-tory, but now Alex is concerned with the safety of students and staff. Reducing hazardous vapors of chemicals is pa吋 of

his job.

Alex lives in Tai Po, which, he says, is not too far from campus, but the transportation still is not convenient.

a number offi 『1ereproductions of Chi”

nese painting and callig 『aphyf『O『nthe

Natio『1alPalace Museum in Taipei. The original paintings are not in a condition to be visited or exhibited often. But a Japanese publisher wanted to reproduce these works exactly like the originals - from printing material (silk or paper) to mountings to cracks in the pigment so that people could

appreciate them as if viewing the originals.

Reproduction and copying are long-practiced a付sin China,'’explains Dr Hui-Shu

Lee, lecture『 inthe Humanities Divisio『l.

She continues

,“

Reproductions have always played an important and useful role in Chinese a此 history,especially in the days before photography. The Nigensha

[

the Japanese publisher] facsimiles are in a class all their own, and they reproduce masterpieces of Chinese a丹 normallyinaccessible to the public. Their value to students is inestimable

.'’

The price of these re”

productions is high, and Dr Lee says that some of the reproductions are more ex -pensive than some genu-ine paintings.

But intrinsic value is what is important to Dr Lee.

These reproductions offer

students and a叫 lovers a

rare opportunity to view masterpieces of Chinese

a付 fromearlier centuries. Dr Lee says that sometimes it can be very difficult to find even photographs of Chinese a叫, and that when she was p『oducinga number of slides of Chinese art for her classes

she found a void of images every so often.

The Nigensha reproductions of Chinese monument painting and calligraphy fill that void. Dr Lee now can take her students to see the actual reproductions

;

she does not have to rely on textbooks, which often print across the gutter, or on old slides.

Our arrival was widely publicized. We were on the TV and in the newspaper. We were honored guests in China. Two days later, the 3rd National Track & Field Champion-ships for University Students began. We competed with thousands of athletes from 84 universities in China, Korea and Japan.

The new LG1 restaurant serves Asian and Western foods in a cafeteria format, and Western foods in a full -service restaurant (『eservations accepted). Temporary measures are being taken until November to ease lunch -time crowds in LG1. A notice outside the cafeteria states that only University members will be served during peak hours (Monday through Friday, 12:30 to 2 pm). A variety of pasta, udon, wonton noodles in soup, Vietnamese noodles and other tasty delights are served in the LG1 cafeteria.

Hours are as follows:

LG1 Cafeteria-7:30 am to 9 pm LG1 Restaurant-11 am to 9 pm

In the past, only University members were allowed to make reservations at the G/F Staff Restaurant. University members also had seating priority ove『 non-University people. Details on new reservation policies will be made public next month.

Neil reminded us of thepu 「poseof being in the competition: to learn and to gain experience. Indeed, everyone did learn something from this competition. Good

sp。此smanshipdoes not mean winning the game. Instead, ittells us the essence of competition: Never give up, even though you know that it

is going to be tough. Otherwise, you are already the loser.

To imp『oveourselves this year, we plan to have tougher training more often and to pa此icipatein many different kinds of competitions to gain more experi-ence. We have to prepare ourselves well for the competition in Chengdu next year, both physically and psychologi-cally. We will become as good as the others who pa此icipatedin this most important University competition this year. We shall act as role models to encourage fellow U-mates to get involved in this spo 此

Challenges ahead! Even though there are many hurdles to jump, we are not going to surrender because we are students at HKUST, and we have the ability to be the best.

為科大提附

科大遂闖創先河 3 向銀行貸款興建宿舍 3然後計畫。以宿舍租金來分期還款。在研究生宿舍方面,科大亦成功學取到政府的同意 ,肉銀 行集資 , 興建研究生宿舍 ,估計於九六年秋天河建成千多個研究生宿舍單位。至於本科生宿舍方面 , 校方會繼續肉政府爭取撥款。校 產管理處處長克遜說他希望政府明年會ilt﹔住撥款興建一部份本科生宿舍 , 估計將會有一千一百名本科生受惠。幾個月來 1 同學們貼過 不少大字報 1 指責宿舍不足或分配不 I句 ,甚至有人要求把教職員宿舍撥給學生。為了使同學對宿舍情況有更多的 7 解 , 校長吳家瑋教 授特地給同學寫了一封 「小字報」 3貼在牆上 ,詳釋校園宿舍的最新發展 , 現轉載如下 : 同學們 科大學生宿舍之缺乏,是我們一向認為最嚴重的問題之一。 當初科大的籌備委員會要求百分之才二十學生可以住進宿舍 1 以為 得到了政府的默許。可是到頭來,政府恆批准了百分之三十。幾 年來,校董會和校方行政人員為了這件事,不斷向教資會和政府 大力爭取,但是未見成效。過去 年,教資會已經同意支持把百 分之三十增加到百分之五十,但是政府不予撥款興建。 其實宿舍不足不單是本科生遇到的困難。教職員和研究生也 面臨同樣問題。不同的問題 , 須以不同的方法去處理。在各方面 努力以下1 教職員和研究生的問題逐漸可以解決了,方法如下 : 政府拒絕為科大捏供資源興建教職員宿舍,但是在給許多教職員 的待遇裡,包括了居屋津貼。我們爭取到 7 政府的同意 , 用這些 津貼來「供樓」 , 也就是說,學校向銀行貨款 , 興建宿舍,然後 用這些津貼來分期還債。因此各位看到,已有三座大樓在興建中, 可供六十六家居住。今後將在TVB暫用的山頭上,加建百五十六 個住宅單位。這些單位的資源來自教職員的待遇 , 政府當然不會 允許挪為他用,銀行也 不會同意把它們改為學 生宿舍,這是最最基礎 的經濟原則。 政府拒絕為科大提 供資源興建多些研究生 宿舍 ,於是我們又重施 故枝。政府是不給研究 生居屋津貼的 ,但是科 大的教師們競爭能力強 , 獲到大量的研究經贅,可以僱用研究生 為助教、助研。加上學校方面給研究生的撥款,令絕大多數的研 究生可以獲得充分的助學金,轉而付得起合理的宿舍租金。於是 我們又爭取到 7 政府的同意 1 向銀行貸款 1 興建宿舍 , 然後用宿 舍租金來分期還債。在近期各位即將看到另三座大樓進入建築期, 可供約一千位研究生享用。當然,租金不會低廉,否則銀行是不 肯貸款的﹔照研究生的收入來看,租金會是很合理的(在每月 萬元左右的收入裡,大約要付二千多元) 以上這套方法 1 可以說是科大在香港首創的。可是,由於本 科生既無居屋津貼,又乏個人收入,無法搬來實施。唯有的方法 是繼續向政府爭取。當然,本科生宿舍不足是大專院校普遍面對 的困難。中文大學的宿舍 1 百分比較科大略高,香港大學比科大 低﹔兩所理工學院根本沒有宿舍。我們希望除了 t所大專院校的 校長盡力向政府爭取外, 同學們也能夠團結起來,向社會呼顯。 至於已有的宿舍,如何分配才算公平,現在有委員會來負責, 成員包括好幾位同學代表。民主體制崇尚分責分權 , 校長不應也 不能越姐代底。請見諒 ! 長瑋 校﹛家 吳
