said Peony Chiang Ka Fong (MARK, 2), BSU's O'Camp director.According to Peony, the camp gives students the right start.
“
Tertiary education is totally different from school;’ she said.“
The students need to be able to learn by themselves, make new friends, and strike the right balance between work and other activities.”
The BSU campers learn a lot from the second and third year students acting as leaders and helpe凶， notto mention a host of games and information sessions. Peony believes that advice could be useful long beyond the first semester.
“
Employers today want to see more than just good grades;' she said. "Ifthey can learn to balance their lives now, and fit in extra challenges, it will help them in the long run.”

August as 30 student societies filled over 2,500 orientation camp places with new students eager to learn about UST life and people.
While it may have been hard to pick out the serious from the social, camp organiz-ers were offering more 出anjust water wars and camp fires.
“
We want the new students to enjoy university life;' said Lam Wing Kin (MECH, 2), organizer of the Engineering Students’
Union camp,“

so the camp is a chance .to participate and get to know people.“
Last year, I learned so much, from tips on picking courses tousing the computers on campus, and I made new 仕iendstoo.’,
The Business Students' Union went a step further, taking students off campus to a camp site in Wu Kwai Sha.

been brainstorming O]1 how best to ]nonitor and ensure quality teach-ing_ throughounhe University.‘
These discussions have been in response to the final report of the University Grants Committee (UGC) on UST這 Teachin'gand Learning Quality Process Review (TLQPR), which was released in March.
By summer's end, the full Senate had met five times on the issue and set up six teach-ing and learning task forces to examine and make recommendations on curriculum
design, teaching qualifications and perfot'm-ance, teaching evaluation, teaching and learning practice, general education and teaching and learning innovations (see box).
“
The best thing to come out of this proc-ess is that we have haif more opportunities for faculty members to sit down and share ideas;’said Prof K. C. Chan, Head of Finance and a member of the Senate task force on ·teaching evaluation.
While the Senate must yet determine a course of action in response to the
sugges-tions, there are several initiatives begun
befor哩 the UGC report that are now pr.oceedi.ng with fresh impetus.
New faculty booklet: A、 ailablefrom ETC this fall, this introduction to Hong Kong

S educational system will provide essential background material for those unfamiliar with Hong Kong.Department Head handbook: A comprehensive resou1℃e guide for depart-ment heads, spelling out their responsibili-ties and the University resources available to help them fulfill them effectively. The handbook is being written by Academic Affairs.

in Typhoon Test
I
f Hong Kong's 川川川uined …kendspare a thought for the UST security staff and emergency teams who were on call throughout the night.
“
There were a lot of wet.and windswept people out there;’said Roger Davies, EM O's building services manager. From midday until midnight, staff responded to 25 incidents, ranging from open windows to fallen trees and ceilings.“
Obviousl}
unless the damage was potentially life-threatening, we didn’
t send them out;' Roger said.“
We have to consider their safety too.”Aside from a host of minor leaks and false fire alarms, Victor's
most serious damage was to the false ceilings in the Coffee Shop courtyard, which were reduced to a mound of aluminum stri戶， and
· a fallen tree close to the President
’
s Lodge.As the typhoon season is still with us, Genesis reprints the
campus storm procedures. Newcomers to Hong Kong should know
that typhoon and rainstorm warnings are broadcast on TV and
ra-dio stations.
MTR stations and many shops and buildings also display the
signal status. If Typhoon Signal 8 is hoisted, shops, services and
transport close down rapidly across Hong Kong, so stock up if a
typhoon is forecast.
On campus, make sure that all windows are closed whenever any typhoon signal is hoisted. If you go on holiday during typhoon
season, secure},our office or quarters before. you go.
Moreinformation about tropical storms, regular勾 updated
weather information and a detailed explanation of Hong Kong's
typhoon warning signals can be found at the Hong Kong

Typhoons
lfTyphoon Signal 8 is hoisted by the Royal
Observa-tory during a working day, announcements will be made over the public address system advising you to return home. In this situation, all classes and exams are canceled.
Public transport and traffic information will be available through the e-mail or public address
systems. Remember to close all windows before
leaving.
If Signal 8 is lowered before 6:30 am, classes and exams will start from 8:30 am and you should
report as normal.
If it is lowered between 6:30 am and 12 noon, classes and work start from 2 pm. Generally, if it is
lowered after 2 pm on a weekday or 10 am on a
Saturday, you need not report for work or classes.
Black Rainstorm Warning
If the·Black Rainstorm Warning is issued before 8 am, you should stay at home. If the warning is canceled, follow the arrangements for the l
ower-ing of typhoon warning signals (above).
If the Black Rainstorm Warning is raised during a working day, you are advised to stay on campus for your own safety .

的oundour sundial is a case in point. ON THE
LIGHT SIDE
sagely on their concerns about civil liberties
in Hong Kong after 30 June.
Of course, no one seemed to notice that this oppression was already taking place
while Hong Kong's freedoms were st山 being
staunchly defended by Her Majesty
’
S Government.I must admit I personally had a bit of
trouble understanding what
“
self-censorship”
meant. Then it was explained tome that some newspapers were deciding
what to print based on the possible economic impact on their business of what they printed.
But then it was explained to me that this
kind of reporting was what made the paper popular, and that was what freedom of the press was all about. Namely, a newspaper
should be able to decide what to print based
on the possible economic impact on 』 ts
business of what it prints.
Self
Restraint
This is my first column … ω
“
Handover.’,I kind of like that term.First of all, it is probably equally distasteful to the British and the Chines巴， so if it is politically incorrect, at least it is even-handed in being so.
Second, it squnds quite a lot like
“Passover
;’the Je＼－、rishfestival celebrating the deliverance of \he people of Israel from the rule of Egypt.There has got to be a connection there
somewhere, although the eating of
unleavened bread (whatever that is) is probably not the common factor. Oh well,
one last toast to the Pharaoh ... I mean, the Queen ... and forward into the new era.
Of course, to be on the safe side, I
supp_ose I should be practicing that
“
self-censorship”
ev_erybody has been talkingabout. This concept was a conveniertt
invention of those who wanted to comment
GENES 時， 3September 1997
For example, a publisher with business
interests in China might be reluqant to publish news critical of the Chinese
govern-ment. I can see how this is a blatant violation
of the
lofty
principles of freedom of the press.I was, for a time, equally puzzled by the
fact that Jimmy L缸， publisherof
App
l
e
Dai切seemed to be such a hero to the overseas
press during their frantic search for stories on the Handover.
At first I thought it was because the paper
was published in Chinese, which the foreign correspondents couldn
’
t read. After all,whatever its political viewpoint
may
be, a lot of the stuff in the AppleDaily
is justsensa-tional gossip, and some of it is outright fabrication. The story reporting appearances on our campus.of the ghost of a child who allegedly drowned in the 恥roinches of water
I am sure glad that got cleared up.
Apparently, self-censorship is when
you
don’
t print stuff that may be true, and freedom of the press is when you do print. stuff that
may
be false, in each case forfinancial gain. I was sort of hoping the difference would be greater, but there it is.
