Hl<UST Establishes Hainan Institute

between Hong Kong and Hainan. For the past year the University has been defining missions and direc-tions, organising resources and strengthening ties within the Province. It has also organised a series of six Executive Development Programmes to intro-duce Hainan senior government officials to Hong Kong’s commercial and legal systems.

“The mission of the Institute is to use Hainan as a base for academic and applied research and devel-opment so as to fulfil HKUST

s mission of contribut-ing to the economic development of Hong Kong and her neighbouring region’”says Prof. Chia-Wei Woo, who heads the Institute.

HKUST

s work in Hainan will serve Hainan and Hong Kong alike, facilitating economic cooperation between the two areas and paving the way for Hongkongers who wish to pa此ici­

pate in the economic and indust『ialdevelopment of Hai nan.

Hain a『1, a province nea『ly the same size as Taiwan with a population of only 6.7 million, is known for its rich natural resources and scenic environment. One of the Institute

s objectives is to make full use of Hainan

s resources to develop her economy and culture while ensuring the preservation of her natu 「al

environment and social equilibrium.

and the Vice Mayor of Sanya City,Mr Ji Xiang Ke.

The Governor of Hainan Province, Mr Ruan Chong Wu, sent a congratulatory message for the inauguration ceremony in which he stressed the Hainan Provincial Government

s readiness to assist the Institute in all areas of its research wo『k, and reaffirmed his belief that the establishment of the Institute would help to promote Hainan

s economic and social development.

P『omoteenvironmental awareness. This is the view of HKUST Business and Management students Cynthia Lau, Ronald Poon, and Sam Wai Kin, and to this end they initiated the Angel of

Nature project.

The project targets disadvantaged children between the ages of 10 and 15. To bring the environmental message home to them in a lively and memorable way the students recently arranged a se『iesof three events and com 『nunalactivities.

The first of these took place on 23 January. Fifty children from orphanages and children

s homes in Hong Kong were brought to the HKUST campus for a fun-filled yet educational day. For one ofthe activities children were divided into two teams

each of which was given a large piece of cloth. One team was instructed to draw their impression of a well protected environ-ment. The other team drew their impression of the results of an environment left unprotected.

Communicati。n

Channels at Hl<UST

KU訂h叫n rapi州州 1991

when the cam-pus first opened, there were just a handful of staff, and it was easy to put a face to a name. Now, just over two years later, we

suddenly have one thousand seven hundred staff on board, from

all so前s of different backgrounds, and communication is no longer a simple matter of picking up the phone and dialling

someone you know.

Communication difficulties and misunderstandings have on occasion led to frustration and irritation,'’ says Mr Ian Macpherson, Pro Vice Chancellor of Business and Adminis

tra-tio『1, and he is doing all he can to resolve the situation.

Office Managers at HKUST act as one of the major channels of communication at HKUST. Part of their role is to receive and

dissemi 『1ateinformation, and they serve as a useful contact point between fact』lty and the administration. “We feel that more effective use could be made of the Office Managers. They form a service point, a place to which faculty may direct their aι

ministrative enquiries’”says Mr Macphe『son.

There are occasions, however, when problems arise which

are beyond the scope of an Office Manager. Cases like these

may be discussed with Ms Helen Wong Oi Ling, Assistant Secretary in the PVC-AB

s Office, who combines her 「oleas a

normal line manager there with that of a

sympathetic ear

or

ombudsman to whom faculty may turn when they are facing

problems dealing with the administration of the University. She listens to grievances and t『iesto set things to rights.

To learn more about the policy and plans of the University staff and fact』 lty can also 「ead the minutes of the University

Administrative Committee (UAC) meetings. These are now

posted on the Electronic Noticeboard after each meeting. Back

copies may be obtained from Office Managers. By reading important policy documents such as these staff and faculty can gain insight into major administrative policies of the University. In a further effort to ease communications throughout the University, the UAC has directed a small informal group that meets from time to time to discuss anything which may be

affecting the relationship between the faculty and the adminis-tration. The group consists of Professor David Barber, nominated

as the Chairman, Professor Jay Chen, Professor Fred Lochovsky, Dr Berry Hsu, Mr Mike Hudson, Professor Grafton Hui, Mr Ian Macpherson, Mr Norman Ngai and Mr CY Yip, and they serve to represent anyone who has a problem that they wish to bring out into the open.

Another useful communication tool is, of course, Genesis. Questions received are addressed anonymously to the depart

-ment that can answer them, and events, policy, news and views

can be publicised on our pages.

tors i『wolved in pest control activities on campus. We have contacted the various EMO sections involved with the con”

tractors, as well as the contractors themselves requesting information on the products they use.

As far as we can ascertain at this point, all of the pesticides used are also registered in the U.S. We have obtained Material Safety Data Sheets on the products and some of them are considerably more toxic than others. Many

are relatively harmless to humans, unless ingested directly, and are based on pyrethrins which are naturally occurring compounds found in the flower head of chrysanthemum cinerariaefolium, a flower in the daisy family. A powdered form of this was first used in about 1800 in the Transcaucasus

region of Asia. The powder was also used for louse control in

the Napoleonic Wars. Kenya and Ecuador are the primary sources of pyrethrins, which are now extracted using sol-ventsoPyrethrins are probably the safest pesticide available. They quickly degrade in sunlight and are therefore ideal for

indoor use. For outdoor use synthesized pyrethroids, which

are resistant to sunlight, are more suitable.

We have already asked some of the contractors to refrain from using the more toxic compounds, and will do the same with the contractors who have provided us this informa

-tion only recently.

The first of the new facilities two new floodlit, bitumen

year four air-conditioned squash cou 吋s,located on LG4 of the

multi卜storeycar park, will be completed.

The squash cou 叫sare being built in response to demand

from staff and students.

PVC-AB. Squash is also one of the “ta「getspo付S可fHong Kong, which means to say that the Government of Hong Kong is putting

money towards its development with the aim of raising the

general playing standard.

Also on the agenda is a new air-conditioned fitness room.

Kenny Chow, senior PE Officer atthe Student Affairs Office. “The present one has multi-gym equipment fo『 alloverbody condition-ing. The new fitness room Will include a free weight area for those who wish to target specific body areas.

All of these developments, apa吋 fromthe floodlights, have been made possible by a HK$3.5 million donation by TVB.

Priorities on how to spend the money were determined on the

advice of an ad hoc representative committee. Money that

remains will be used to grass over the rough ground of large open

area between the Academic Building and the southern end of the campus. This will enable softball, touch rugby, or any apo仕 that

TALK

OF

THE CAMPUS

by Martha Dahlen

Equanim。us! Equanim。us!

uddha

warns

that 恥,s

no telling where you will find

enlightened teaching. One of the least expected places is,

surely, a tax seminar. Nevertheless, attending the U.S. Tax

Seminar held here on February 16, I and about a hundred other

people witnessed a remarkable demonstration of a spiritual principle.

It was the second speaker. He began with a cartoon, which

is reproduced below ...

Need

more?

EXPERIENCE THE RAw GUT-WRENCHING DRAMA

OF HUMAN CONFLI訂 THROUGH ACCOUNTING

PREPARING To Do BATn.E THE THIULL OF V1叮ORY THE AGONY OF DEFEAT

AUSTRALIAN BUSINESS, NOVEMBER 21, 1990

A real Buddha, of course, would be laughing through it all

and would have a bigger paunch, but the point is to maintain

equanimity, no matter what the circumstances.

After the ca此oontrailers, the speaker settled into his

pres-entation. Now, t似的 mustbe one of the most volatile subjects

known to modern man. Otherwise mild-mannered people can become downright ferocious when you explain to them how

much money the government (actually plural in this case- U.S.

Federal, State and Hong Kong) expect them to give back. As the

presentation continued, negative energy in Lecture Theatre D

began to build, especially with questions from the audience. But

our speaker handled them deftly. He did not simply refuse to be

drawn into argument, he didn

t merely side-step the verbal

fireballs but actually caught, transfo『medand returned them as

good humour. His tone of voice had a comforting cadence ...

Was this ape斤ormance?A technique learned as pa內 ofthe

degree course in Tax Accounting? No matter.

Equanimous,

equanimous’”I thought, remembering the favourite word of a

『neditationteacher I once had. And in that lies a certain happiness.

Even when paying taxes? That would be a real achievement.

SOCIAL CLUB

by Steve Kong

Tai Chi Class Formed

The Social Club has assisted Dr Kimberly Chang of

Chi class in the spring semester. The class is open to all

members of the University community and meets every

Wednesday and Friday, f「om6 to 7 p.m. for the duration

of ten weeks. The instructor is Master Sin Man-Ho,

founder and supervisor of the Man Ho Gymnasium,

Chairman of the China Qi Gong Society, and a long-time

practitioner and teacher of the Chinese martial a叫s in

Hong Kong. Both beginner and advanced levels are

welcome. Tuition fees are $600fo『 staffand their spouses,

and $300 for students.

The class is conducted in a mixture of Cantonese

and Putonghua. However, most students in the class can

speak fluent English and they can provide assistance to

non-Chinese speakers.

Anyone who is interested in joining this class please

contact Michael Cheng (Ext.6372,。mail: foming) as

soon as possible.

Spring

B。at

Trip

The Social Club will be organising a Saturday boat

trip to Lantao Island. The date is tentatively set at 23 April

and the trip will commence at around noon and end at

roughly 9 p.m.

The trip begins with a boat ride to Tao O village,

reputed to be Hong Kong

s little Venice, on the western

side of Lantao Island. On the way the boat will pass

through the new airpo吋 siteat Chek Lap Kok. From Tai O

tou『 buses will be waiting to take us across the Island

visiting places such as the only commercial tea plantation

in Hong Kong, Shek Pik Reservoir and the Po Lin Mon開

astery which boasts the world's largest cast bronze

Buddha. While at Po Lin Monastery a vegetarian dinner

will be provided. In the evening we will board a boat at Mui

Wo on the eastern side of Lantau for the return trip.

Details of the trip and sign up procedures will be announced later by e-mail and in the April issue of

Genesis.
