HSS Proposes Undergraduat
_
e Minors
U
…
ties and Social Science is proposing to move in a new direction, offering a program of undergraduate minor.s.This idea came out of the many conversations Dean Ting
Pang-Hsin has had with faculty members in the two divisions since he
took up his post in late ]une.
One problem popped up in nearly every conversation: the fact that the School does not have its own undergraduates.
While it is not now practical or financially possible to establish
an undergraduate major program in HSS, there is unanimous
agreement among 出eSchool
’
s faculty members that a system of minors would be desirable.The Division of Humanities is con·sidering 。在eringminors in
Chinese literature; Chinese history and anthropology;and Chinese
philosophy and religion. The Division of Social Science is
considering minors in science, technology and society;social
science;China and East Asia;and politics and law.
“
The important idea is that we would have students from otherschools who are really interested in doing courses in social sciences or humanities and not just meeting degree requirements;’ProfTing
said.
“
I'm thinking 18 credits will be enough to ful ill a minorprogram.
Students are currently required to enroll for 12 credits in HSS. For those interested in pursuing a minor, it would mean doing two more courses. The precise course requirements have not yet been mapped out.
The proposal is currently being discussed by the University administration. Before it can be implemented, it must be approved by the University法 Committeeof Undergraduate Studies and the Senate.

President and Mrs Woo, wallced an eight-kilometer course to raise money for the
Commun it}F Chest on 17 November.
The UST team, which included a few
students, raised more than.$30,000 for
the Community Chest, which supports
140 social welfare agencies in Hong
Kong. The annual
“
Walks for Millions"event saw 8,500 walkers trek from Sai
Ku嗯， upto Wong Chulc Yeung and back.
2
In a paper proposing the idea, Prof Ting argued that
“
deeper training in HSS subjects at the undergraduate level will increase graduates' career choices ... and better prepare them for postgradu-ate pursuits:'In fact, tl1e interest shown by HKUST graduates from the other schools in postgraduate programs in HSS is growing. In 1995 96, 18 HKUST graduates applied to enroll in HSS postgraduate pro grams.
Another new HSS initiative, to begin next semester, is the offer of large introductory courses.
Botl1 divisions are developing about six large lecture courses each
semester, catering to 200-400 students.
It may seem odd that this proposal was in response to a
com-mon complaint that classes in HSS have be.en too large-on
aver-age, 95 students per class.
“
I hope these really large classes will attract mostundergradu-ate students who need to fulfill degree requirements;' Prof Ting said. The balance ofHSS courses would then
be reduced to a more manageable class size of 45.
“
I’
m asking the seni_or people toteach these fundamental, introductorγ
courses as I think they have much
broader knowledge and know a lot of interesting topics that will attract stu-dent interest:’Prof Ting said.
“
I received my education in Taiwan. At that time,full professors taught introductory
courses, which was both beneficial and inspiring to students.’,

for Books on Campus
Book browsers are in for a treat. TheUni-versit于 Bookstoreis getting a new operator,
new services and a fresh new look. Caves Books has won the bookstore con-tract and its staff are busy renovating and restocking in time for an early December opening.
Teresa Leung already manages U得Oother campus stores for Caves, at Baptist
University and Lingnan College.
UST is a welcome addition.
The company has been
estab-lished for over 20 years and special-izes in academic and professional books.
“
We were already doi月 a lot of business with USTstaff and students;’
ex-plained Teresa.
“
'As well as providingan excellent service to
staff and students, we want to present a good image to visitors;' she
said.
“
The stock andim-age should reflect the bread.th of study and re-search on campus, and
our renovation will create a bright and in-viting place to browse.’,
Caves' pricing policy is designed to
en-sure consistent, reasonable prices.
“
Manybooksellers mark-up high and then offer a
student discount;' explained Teresa.
“
Weprefer to offer a good supply at a reasonable price, all ye位·round to all our customers.
”
A new feature will be Caves' on-line book enquiry system which
enables customers to
check availability and details. Once it is estab-lished they would 凶＜e

• From left: Catherine Lai, Sir S.Y. Chung, Lawrence Law and Ian Macpherson.In the spring of 1986, Ian Macp_herson was the first person to begin
working on translating the visionary idea of the University into
re-ality;He was the Secretary for Transport when the Governor at the
time, Sir Edward Youde, asked him to serve-as secretary-general to
the Planning Committee for the Third University. He left HKUST
nine years later as Vice- President for Administration and Business.
“
The time it took 肘， fromannouncement to being built, withstaff and students in place, was probably an achievement not
matched anywhere else in the world.
”
Sir Sze-yuen Chung took charge of the creation of no fewer than
three of Hong Kong's tertiary institutions: Hong Kong Polytechnic,
City Polytechnic, and the Hong Kong University of Science and Tech
nolog芋 Hisinvolvement with HKUST began when Governor Youde
invited him to chair the Planning Committee for the Third
Univer-sity, which eventually became the HKUST Council. Sir S. Y.
remem-bers the Governor's thinking about the new university.
“
One thing was very impressive and very surprising. Theoffi-cial mandate given to the Planning Committee in 1986 was to have
the University open by 1994. But in the summer, a few months be0
fore we met for the first time, I was at Government House discuss-ing the work of the Planndiscuss-ing Committee with Edward Youde. He
said, '1994 is eight years away; a long time. Sir S. 玄， isit possible to
bring the date forward? I
’
m not suggesting you change the mandatein writing, but between you and me, can you try? Can you think of a
way to bring the date forward?’That was how the impetus for
open-ing in 1991 originated.
”
Lawrence Law, Associate Director of CCST, won a prize for this
poem of remembrance.
In the ear句 70s,when I was a student,
I dreamt of a university not in the ivory tower. ~n the late 70s, when I worked in a local institute,
I looked forward to a university more aggressive.
In the late 8郎， whenI joined the HKUST,
I hoped to build a new university somewhat different.
In the mid 9郎， whenI am an old sta仔 here,
I am proud of the advancement in Hong Kong brought
forward by the new university.

UST Grad Dies in Nathan
Road Fire Tragedy
Computer Science Dept Organizes Family Appeal
Brian Leung Siu Hong, a '94 computer science graduate, died tragically in last month's Nathan Road fire that killed 40 people.
Brian worked in the information department of a jewelry firm in the
Garley Building.
He is survived by his mother and brother who live in Fu Shan Estate, near Choi Hung. Brian's father died last year. With the death of Brian, the grieving family is in a precarious financial state.
Computer Science Head, Prof Roland Chin, has launched an appeal to raise money for Brian's family. If you wish to donate, contact Lily Chan in Computer Science at x7008, or e-mail: cslily@cs.
Karate Kids Are Champs
Despite the fact that most of the 15 members of the Karate Club have only been high-kicking and punching for a year, the team took the cham-pionship at a recent intervarsity match.
At the 8th Karate Competition for Tertiary Institutions held on cam-pus on 13 October, the UST Karate Club bagged five individual medals, including the top prize of the open competition. As the highest-scoring of the seven tertiary teams to participate, UST took home the meet's championship cup.
Team member Timothy Leung (ACCT, 2) says he feels "relaxed and strong" after the twice weekly workouts under the expert training of Lau Wai Kwong, who also coaches Hong Kong's top amateur karate team.
Say It in Putonghua
Putonghua speakers will have the chance to demonstrate their skills at the Second Intervarsity Putonghua Competition in March.
There are three competition sections-solo poetry, solo prose, and group recitation. To help entrants, Tan Chengzhu, a recitation expert and instructor at the HKUST Language Centre, will give a demonstration talk on Putonghua recitation on 22 February.
The competition is being organized by HKUST's Language Centre, City University, Chu Hai College and Lingnan College, but is open to full-time students of any tertiary institution in Hong Kong.
Last year, over 280 students took part, and HKUST entrant Chen Zhi Heng won the solo poetry competition.
Entries must be received by 31 January 1997. The semi-final will take place at HKUST on 8 March, with the final at City University on 22 March. To register, or for further information, call the Language Centre at HKUST on x7880.

Students: Cheating Is Wrong, but Workload Increases Temptation
M
ost students think cheating is wrong. They also understand why some are tempted to risk it.With exams on the way, Genesis asked students for their candid views on cheating. We started with SU president, Agnes Chan Piu Yiu.
"Deep down, I don't think the majority of students support cheat-ing, they know it is wrong, but there are a lot of pressures:' explained Agnes.
"Of course, some don't have a clear, ethical view that cheating is wrong-~specially if it's just copying homework. They think it's no big deal.
"There's also peer pressure. If you see a classmate cheat, and he gets away with it and gets the grades, are you going to be tempted to cheat? Of course.
"Then there's workload pressures, which I think are greater at UST than at other institutions. When students are trying to finish assign-ments for several courses at once, then there is the added temptation. to cheat:'
But do students know, "deep down", that cheating is wrong? Al-though by no means a scientific study, every student we spoke to agreed that it was.
"It's dishonest behavior:"'it's wrong:' and '_'it's unfair" were com-mon responses.
"Yes, cheating is wrong:' said a third-yea_r physics student. "It's dishonest, to others and yourself. People do it because they don't know
Biology Students Take
Green
Message
to Local
Schools
M
ore than 50 biology undergraduates will devote their winter break to visiting local primary, secondary and international schools to tell young students what they can do to help protect the environment.Members of the student group Promotion of Environmental Protec-tion Awareness, or PEPA, aim to visit 120 schools to give their 30-minute slide show presentation and pass out the bilingual booklet they have writ-ten for youngsters to share with their families.
A
future goal is to produce a video to leave with school libraries.PEPA members believe strongly that the seeds of environmental_ aware-ness must be planted in the very young.
"My 10-year-old brother is learning about the environment at his school and it is having an impact on our home life. He has started us recy-cling newspapers and aluminum;' said PEPA's chairperson Madhu Motwani, a second-year biology student.
The idea for this project came out of the annual Christmas meeting of
· biology students and faculty two years ago. Dr Albert Yu encouraged the students to apply for funding from the government-supported Environ-ment & Conservation Fund and the Woo Wheelock Green Fund.
With Dr Yu's help, the group's proposal was approved for funding in May 1995. The biology students spent their summer preparing the slide presentation and in September nearly 30 students visited 38 secondary schools.

how to do something or haven't reviewed their assignments well enough." A US exchange student gave an outsider's view. "Cheating is a prob-lem in the US too, it's not just Hong Kong. I haven't seen any cheating going on here, but I've heard a lot about it:'
Cheating in exams was clearly felt to be wrong. Cheating on home-work was also thought wrong-but less serious because of workload pres-sures.
"You're allowed to discuss homework. Sometimes it's very difficult and the only way you can hand it in on time is to cheat:'
"There are so many quizzes and assignments, they help each other to finish the assignments. It's not that they think cheating is ok, they just don't want to get a low mark:'
"I have seven courses this semester:' explained a second-year engi-neering student. "For ea.ch subject, there is an assignment every week or every other week.
"If I want to take part in outside activities, that means less time for homework. Then, I'm tempted to copy-but I -know that I won't know the material at exam time:'
Others felt workload was irrelevant: "Compared to other universities, the workload is heavier:' said a second-year accounting student, "but I don't think that's an excuse to cheat.
"In homework, people feel it's a collective effort, so ask others for help. It doesn't justify outright cheating or copying."
There were some practical ideas to relieve the pressure: "If a student has a good reason to turn in a report a day late, the tutor should allow it."
In the summer of 1996, a new group of second-year biology students decided to continue and im-prove upon the work of their predecessors. They applied for new funding and received the maximum amount given
to
community environmental projects-$120,000."This group of students is very mature. They are self-motivated and have initiated everything by themselves;' said Dr Yu, who continues to work closely with PEPA. "The best thing is that they are concerned about the community."
"As biology students we are sensitive to the en-vironment;' said Shelley Yam, PEPA's secretary. "From our reading we know the situation is poor and we must do something. But one person is not enough, we need to group together:'

I would like to complain about the sanitation of LGl canteen. I found a dead cockroach inside a bowl of break-fast noodles which was bought on 6 November, at 8:45 am in the LG 1 Canteen. Photos and the corpse are evidence. This is not the first time that insects, such as flies and cockroaches, have been found in the food served in LG 1. Is it possible for the canteen's supervisor to pay more attention to sanitation to prevent this hap-pening again and again?GENESIS, 4 December 1996
"Not every student has a computer in their room and they have to use the computer barn-but it's not open 24 hours."
Students also had words of advice for faculty on stamping out cheating.
"Teachers should assign seats in exams, or give out different ver-sions of papers so that they can't copy:'
-"One of my professors provides two versions of an exam and then distributes them alternatively around the class to stop cheating:'
"Teachers should instill fear! If you're caught cheating in the US, you know you'll be kicked out. Maybe that needs to be more explicit here."
In 1995, a Students' Union survey revealed that 15% of UST stu-dents claimed to have cheated in exams. Over 50% felt that the Uni-vel'sity could do more to stop cheating.
Things have changed. New rules, brought in last year by the Aca-demic Affairs Office, have improved room layouts and invigilation. Any student caught cheating will fail that examination.
The Students' Union was consulted on the new rules. Agnes feels they will be effective, making the penalties for cheating far clearer. But even if you do get away with it,Agnes feels you will lose out even-tually.
"If you cheat now, you can't really learn. What happens when-if-you graduate and get a job. Who will help you copy your work then? It doesn't pay in the long term."
