Senior staff housing: 156 units to be completed 仰的esummer of 1996. by Mike Hudson Director of Estates Management

to astronomical heights and the University continuing to recruit large numbers of academic staff, the provision of affordable housing has become a real problem. With all 182 on”campus residences full, every newarrival means a new rented qua吋er. In a seller
’
s market, dealing with Hong Kong landlords, who are not known for their benevolence, is a nightmare.When the University reaches 7,000 FTE's in 1997, it is estimated that about 500 senior members of staff will have to be provided with housing.
To
reduce our dependency on the rental market, new residential projects are under way which, when complete, will mean that over 400 staff and their families can be housed on campus. Providing rented accommodation off campus for the 100 or so remaining families will allow a margin of flexibility to both indi-viduals and the University.
Given Government
’
s reluctance to provide funding for additional staff housing, HKUST became the first tertia『yinstitution in Hong Kong to approach financial institutions for this purpose, and a loan of more than $130 million was secu『edto cove『 thecost of the first project, now under construction. Money that would otherwise end up in the pockets of land -lords will be used to pay back the loan ove 「 fiveyears. This project, consisting of 22 four-bedroomapa叫ments and 44 units with three bedrooms, is scheduled for completion in the summer of 1995.

we『e well unde『way, staffed by four counsello『s and six people in administrative support. One of its most recent developments was the opening, in May, of a new Caree『SCentre where students and staff can gain access to a wide range of information se『vices.
AFTER SEVERAL YEARS of wo『king at the Hong Kong Polytechnic, why did CO II Chit Keung
“
CK’ ,CH01 decide to joinHKUST?“It's such a beautiful sight here 一 I love the environ
-ment. I also thought that I'd have better prospects here’”he says.
A jack-of叫I-trades, CK is involved in counter services, computer programmes, recruitment talks, careers exhibitions, company visits, recruitment requests, and answering enquiries from both students and employers.“I also serve as a camera man for some careers programmes. However, my knowledge
and technique aren’t great’”he says modestly.“l would like the
oppo叫unityto improve upon them.
”
A self-confessed lover of speed, CK loves driving and cy -cling. He would also like to have a sailing license someday. 'That way, I could use HKUST’s pier when I come to work by yacht’”he laughs.
“
WITH FIFTEEN YEARS’
experienceyou get to know what to expect’” says Senior Student Counsellor Lisa HAU.
“
When students first arrive they are a little confused. Then as they begin to achieve things, their confidence increases. By the time they are ready to leave, they are more mature. I enjoy seeing this g『owthprocess - it is one of the rewards,'’she says.
Lisa is responsible for the overall planning and operation of the Student Counselling Service. Running groups (e.g., job
-search training), career exploration (with groups or individuals), and personal counselling are just some of the ways she spends her busy day. Yet all of this is still not enough.
“
We are a new service seeking to develop programmes and facilities that will be beneficial to personal growth and career development. This will happen in stages in the coming year or so.”
When not at work or looking after her two dogs, Lisa manages to indulge the a吋isticside of her nature, doing pottery, drawing, and handcrafts.
WHAT DO ICE CREAM and Bingky LAM have in common? “The Cantonese word for ice cream and Bingky Lam sound the same. So I chose that name yea『sago as a joke’”she laughs.
Bingky has a background working with young people.
“
I used to work as a welfare officer helping to organise programmes at ayouth cent『e ，＇’ shesays.

But she also assists with the publicity work for career education programmes; has “duty roster" for the Careers Centre counter

and sometimes liaises withof-fices such as EMO and ETC. One day Bingky would like a social work degree.

STUDENT CONTACT is one of the things that EO II Karie LAu likes best about her work. A significant pa此 ofher job is explaining the office’s programmes and services to HKUST students.
“
I like working with young people. I find them energeticand, as the new generation, they will be the ones who will develop Hong Kong society," she says.
Other duties include assisting the four counsellors in the operation of the Careers Centre, overseeing the overall operation of bookings for individual counselling, helping to organise career
education programmes, and keeping statistics on the number of students who pass through the system.
Karie also enjoys the company of her co-workers.“While we all have our po吋olios, we work together as a team. We hold regular meetings so that we can share with each other what is happening. This makes for a happy office."
MUCH HAS CHANGED since CO I Winnie LAu began
working for the University. Back in 1991, SAO's offices were located in TST and were staffed by only eight people. Before transferring to the Careers Centre in Janua『y of this year, Winnie worked for both the Purchasing and Finance offices.
“
That’
s one of the main things I enjoy about working at HKUST’”she says.“
Here I am able to transfer to other depa付ments.This gives me experience and allows me to learn more.’,In addition to clerical duties, Winnie assists people by helping them to access information. But it
’
s not only students that she assists.“Staff are also most welcome to use the Centre. For examp峙， we can provide them with information on how they can further their studies.”

activities organized by students are video/movie shows on campus. They are held mostly in the evenings in lecture theatres. Admission is usually free. Anyone on campus can just walk in unless it is specified otherwise. Those interested should just watch out for the bilingual posters and banners
that are put up in the Atrium and other locations with space for posters. Staff members who are keen to organize their own movie shows on campus can do so in the same way as student organizations and may use UST facilities.’,
Students and Faculty Mal<e Music

ntrodu叫 the
WindE
叫n瓶 HK間，s fi帥on酬 band.
Consisting of twenty-one students and four faculty members,the ensemble made its debut pe斤ormanceat the annual Donors'
Reception held in the Exposition Hall in May. Not only is it HKUST's first band, it is also unique.
“
As far as we know, there is no other large-scale conce吋band like it in any of the other Hong Kong tertiary institutions’”
says Maurice Ho, graduate student in Biology and the group
’
s conductor.Formed in mid-October 1993, the Wind Ensemble is made up of woodwinds (cla『in訓， oboe, flute, saxophone), brass (trumpet, trombone, French horn, euphonium, tuba), and per-cussion (glockenspiel and drums). It aims to play a wide range of music from pop songs to marches and classical.
“We a『emore likely to play band music than a symphony’”
says Matthew 旬，Mathematicsstudent and the group
’
s chair-man.
All the ensemble
’
s members welcome the opp。此unity to play together.“
Quite a number of us played with high school bands, and we wanted to continue’”says Maurice. Unlike most tertiary institutions, the U『1ive『sity has provided support.“
We appreciate the advice and practical assistance that the Student Affairs Office has given us,'
’
says Matthew.The Wind Ensemble has exciting future plans. During the academic year they hope to give a free conce此 inthe Atrium as
well as a mini-concert combining wind and brass ensembles. They would also like to be invited to play at sp。此s days,
swimming galas, and congregations.
“
We also want to form a string orchestra,'
’
says Maurice.“We would like to hear from anyone, both students and facul旬，whowant to join.
”
In addition they plan to sta付 musiccourses for non-players. “They are most welcome. All they have to do is provide their own instruments

R。le hen it comes to juggling roles, few people can match Prof.Ping Ko. A visiting professor in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, he is also chairman of Hong Kong
’
SResearch Grants Committee (RGC). What is more, he has taken on the task of setting up a new research institute at HKUST, the
lnstitt』teof Micro Systems (IMS).
Far from deterring him, the high levels of commitment required in these posts fire him
with enthusiasm.
“
By being in-volved in all these things I can help cha「tthedirection of higher education in Hong Kong for years to come,'’he says.Most exciting, he feels, are the dramatic changes underway in the structure and organisation of the University and Polytechnics Grant
Com-mittee (UPGC), the governmental body under which the RGC operates. They are working to achieve localisation while still keeping an inte「nationalperspective.
“Whether Hong Kong’s te吋iaryinstitutions can survive and prosper after 1997 depends on how the UPGC is reformed in the next few years. It is a very interesting time to be involved’”says Prof. Ko.
In his 『oleas chairman of the RGC, Prof. Ko oversees the process by which the $150 million allocated annually by the UPGC for suppo付 ofindividual research projects is distributed. This is an impressive administrative feat, and one that requires “150% involvement" at times.
Each grant proposal must be reviewed by four to five specialists, most of them overseas, who are selected from a
database of expe巾 in various fields.
“What the reviewers
arelooking for is primarily academic quality: does the proposed work
advance the state of the a叫 and/or create something new,
possibly with important and interesting applications as well?” says Prof. Ko.
On the basis of the reviewers' reports, the RGC decides
whether a project merits funding and the amount required. In all,
about 4,000 people are involved in this process, spendings
thousands of hours sifting through proposals and in meetings.
This past year, for the first time, the RGC lifted the quota
system that imposed ceilings on the number of research propos
-alste內iaryinstitutions could submit. Instead, the institutions were
urged to establish their own internal screening process to avoid
deluging the RGC with low-quality proposals.
“
This is a test year," says Prof. Ko.“
If itdoesn’
twork, the RGC will have to reimpose quotas either across the board or for pa吋1cularinstitutions.’,Asked what advice he would give to people preparing grant proposals, Prof. Ko speaks simply. “Improve the academic content and follow the guidelines, especially for budgets. In the past we have seen some highly exaggerated budgets, and these have had a negative impact on the proposers and their institu
-tions.’,
Despite his busy schedule, Prof. Ko always tries to set aside
time to enjoy sports
;
table tennis, soccer, and jogging are his favourites these days. Playing- and coaching- volleyball was his favourite pastime before he left Hong Kong fo『 theU.S. While a student at HKU, he was on the university team, and he is now proud to say that subsequently, when he was a high school teacher, the team he coached succeeded in becoming the BGrade champions of Hong Kong.
In whatever he does, it seems, Prof. Ko sets out to win.
Hl<UST Faculty Awarded

Research
l ln its f
Hong }<ong's Research Grants Cot』『1cil (RGC) has awarded
$50.1 『nillion to 106 p『ojects submitted by HKUST facL』lty
members.
This represents a staggering 250% increase over the pre-vious year in both the number of projects suppo付ed and total funding- measures by which HKUST now leads all other Hong Kong tertiary institutions.
Furthermore, there was an indication that this year
’
s out-come could have been even more impressive than it was. TheRGC, for the first time, revealed that a significant number of proposals received a high rating but were not suppo吋eddue to a lack of funds. Twenty-seven such proposals were identified
-more than the total number of successful proposals just two years ago - with the recommendation that they be considered
for University funding.
This year, unrestricted by a quota for the first time, HKUST
submitted 164 proposals, up from 61 the previous year. And, as
in 1993, the RGC awarded funds to about two-thirds of the
submissions, the highest success rate among Hong Kong te叫－
ary institutions. Next year, the number of proposals is expected to rise even further as the size of HKUST
’
s faculty continues togrow.
“
The University did do well compared to other institutions’” said Prof. Eugene Wo呵， Pro心ice-Chancellorfor Research and Development.“
There are some signs that the grants are becoming more competitive, which is to be welcomed, not shunned. Fo 「 ayoung institution such as this, there is a real need for discipline and challenge, and there is nothing like competition to create these qualities.’,
New Campus Deve抽pment (cont. from page 1)
Another problem we are addressing is the lack of sufficient
housing for graduate students. The situation is pa門icularlyacute
for those who have no home in Hong Kong, and plans are under way to construct enough places to house all full-time graduate students on campus by the sta此 ofthe 1996-97 academic year. We are proposing to build 270 apa付mentsthat will each accommodate four students, each of whom will have their own air-conditioned room. The flats will also contain a living room and kitchen and bathroom facilities shared by the occupants.
Since this project must also be built without Government funding, a significant rise in accommodation charges will be
necessary to repay the loan that is raised to cover the cost of
construction. The University, however, is well aware of the need
to maintain a行ordabilityand is currently exploring ways to do so.
Finally, a privately funded Unive『sityCentre will be
incorpo-rated into the lower two floors of the graduate 『esidence.With
splendid views over Port Shelter, the Centre will provide staff
with much needed social and recreational facilities, including
lounge areas, TV rooms, music rooms, games rooms, retail
amenities, a hobby room and fitness centre. Outdoor te『races
and barbecue facilities will ensure that the best possible use is made of the site.
Graduate residence, containing 270 apartments, is scheduled for completion in the fall of 1996. The University Centre will occupy the lower two floors of one building, offering unobstructed views over Port Shelter.
TALK OF THE CAMPUS
Ge。mancy
in the New
Territor』esby Ray Dragan
I Jhe Division of Humanities recently
ho叫他 second
annual Workshop in Social History and Cultural Anthropol
-ogy, consisting of four lectures by Dr. Rubie Watson, a
Harvard anthropologist, on the political significance of what
might be called “sac『ed” spacesin China and Hong Kong.
The third lecture in the series was of particula『 interest
since it focused on the popular tradition of geomancy in
modern Hong Kong. Fengshui, as it is known in Chinese, is
a pseudo-science designed to site homes and graves so as
to harness the unseen forces of the geophysical environment
for the benefit of individual families.
According to Dr. Watson, the application of fengshui in
the rural communities of the New Territories differs from its
application in the urban centers of Kowloon and Hong Kong
island. While modern city dwellers focus their attention on the
fengshui of offices and homes, the indigenous residents of
the New Territories have a greater concern fo「 theprotection
of the family graves which they believe have enhanced their
clan's financial prosperity from generation to generation. In her fieldwork Dr. Watson uncovered a now celebrated case in which an ancestral grave of the Deng clan of Ha
Tsuen sparked an interfamily dispute. One of the clan
’
s mostfamous ancestors, it seems, achieved his distinction by
marrying a princess of the Song dynasty imperial household
more than seven hundred years ago. When a rival branch of
the clan sited a grave in close proximity to the royal grave, the
Ha Tsuen Deng accused them of trying to
“steal its
fengshw".Another dispute involving a grave of the Deng clan
brought the entire clan into direct opposition to the Govern
-ment. Plans to build a road connecting Kowloon with the New
Territories had to be scrapped when the Deng rallied suppo吋
to protect the grave of its founding ancestor, which lay along
the proposed route.
Ironical旬， althoughthe clan was able to preserve the
g「ave by exerting its political power, the grave’s original
fengshui has since been completely altered by the mush
-rooming of high-rise buildings surrounding the site.
Conflicts such as these have left many residents of the New Territories suspicious both of the Government and of developers. And in troubled times geomancy, as a political tool, has become one of their strongest weapons against
what Dr. Watson calls an
“environmentally transformative
