Dental Surgeons donate funds to
support
college of dentistry
Saskatoon SK, April 29, 1997 -- Dr. Ray McDermott, dean of
the College of Dentistry at the University of Saskatchewan,
and Dr. Gerrard Gasser, past-president of the College of
Dental Surgeons of Saskatchewan, recently announced the
College of Dental Surgeons has donated $35,000 to the
University of Saskatchewan on behalf of all dentists in the
province.
The donation is being directed to support a dental
endowment fund, said McDermott, adding that interest
earned from the fund will be used to purchase teaching,
research and clinical equipment directly related to the
undergraduate teaching program in the College of
Dentistry.
People are realizing that the dental college is committed
to becoming more financially independent of University
funding, said Gasser. Participants in the fund want to
help maintain and ensure the academic excellence and oral
health service to the community, service the dental college
provides through its programs and graduates.
The College of Dental Surgeons was eager to support the
dental endowment fund, recognizing that it and the
University, in partnership, have an opportunity to
demonstrate leadership in the delivery of dental care,
dental education and dental promotion.
We know the University of Saskatchewan is one of the few
universities in Canada to offer dentistry, said Gasser. An
endowment fund will not only provide the opportunity for
quality accessible dental programs for students and
graduates, but it will also provide for the community?s
dental well-being.
To date, $323,334 has been pledged by faculty, staff,
alumni and organizations in support of the College of
Dentistry's dental endowment fund. Nearly 90 per cent of the
total committed is from alumni.

Board appoints new VP Academic for
U of S
Saskatoon SK, April 25, 1997 -- The Board of Governors
today approved the appointment of Dr. Michael Atkinson as
Vice-President (Academic).
Dr. Atkinson, a professor of political science, currently holds
the position of Associate Vice-President (Academic) at
McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario. His research
interests include political institutions, public policy, and
political corruption.
At the University of Saskatchewan, Dr. Atkinson will play a
pivotal role in the development of academic priorities and
the implementation of college plans for restructuring. His
administrative background includes experience in tenure
and promotion issues, the encouragement of teaching
excellence, interdisciplinary programs and international
affairs. His main task will be to assist the University to
maintain and enhance the quality of its faculty, its
programs, and the academic experience of students.
The University of Saskatchewan is one of Canada's finest
universities and I am very pleased to have been chosen to
help it face the challenges of a changing environment in
higher education, said Dr. Atkinson. I am looking forward
to working with the President and Deans, and getting to
know the faculty, the staff and the students. Learning
about the University community ? the aspirations as well as
the frustrations ? will be the first priority.
Dr. Atkinson is an outstanding scholar who comes very
highly recommended by the people at McMaster, said
George Ivany, U of S President. I am confident he will carry
on the leadership and the evolution of our academic plan in
close collaboration with the planning committee of council.
The appointment follows a search of approximately one
year during which Dean of Law, Peter MacKinnon served as
Acting Vice-President (Academic).
Peter has done a superb job of taking on a very difficult
position in a time of intense change, said Dr. Ivany. I am
personally very appreciative of the attitude and skills he
brought to the position and we will miss his keen insight.
Dr. Atkinson will take up his new position on August 1, 1997.

Board Approves two year budget
Posted April 26, 1997
Board approves two year budget
Saskatoon SK, April 25, 1997 -- The Board of Governors today approved a
budget for the 1997/98 and 1998/99 fiscal years which balances the
continuously rising cost base caused by inflation and contractual
obligations through a combination of tuition increases, base budget
reductions, and increased revenue targets.
The Board chose to reconsider the average tuition increase of 10.1 per
cent in 1997/98 and 8.7 per cent in 1998/99 approved at its February
meeting. Instead, tuition will increase by an average of 6.13 per cent in
1997/98 with commerce students paying the lowest increase (5.68 per
cent) and students in high cost programs like dentistry, medicine and
veterinary medicine paying the highest (9.5 per cent). The average
increase in 1998/99 will be 6.98 per cent.
The Board voiced concern over the problems of access created for
students in high cost programs. In order to assist students with the
increase, more than $1 million has been allocated to fund a variety of
mechanisms for student support including bursaries, retention and
recruitment initiatives. The Board also approved a budget allocation of $3.6
million for graduate scholarships and teaching fellowships.
In addition, in February the Board approved the creation of the Chancellor's
Scholarship program which will give up to $16,000 over a four year period
to each of 25 Saskatchewan high school graduates.
?Although the recent provincial funding announcements have reduced our
funding difficulties, the university still faces a significant financial problem
resulting from a history of eroding funding and a constantly expanding cost
base,? said Hal Wyatt, Board Chair. ?However, broad access to quality
programs has always been, and will continue to be, a priority for this
institution and we are making a concerted effort to cushion our students
from paying more than their share of these financial difficulties.?
The budget plan includes reductions for all colleges and administrative
units totalling $2 million with 50 per cent of the reduction to be achieved in
1997/98 and the balance in 1998/99.
The Board also approved targeted revenue generation of $800,000 by
1998/99 stemming from three sources: incremental revenue, administrative
fees, and Extension Division activities.

1997/98 Budget Highlights
Tuition
Tuition will increase across the board by 3.4 per cent in 1997/98 and by
another 3.4 per cent in 1998/99. In addition, a cost-based differential
increase assessed at the course level will be introduced with approximately
25 per cent of the differential implemented in 1997/98. It is estimated that
this revised tuition will generate additional revenue of $2.4 million in
1997/98 and $5.5 million in 1998/99.
Recruitment and Retention
A sum of over $1 million will be allocated to fund a variety of mechanisms
for student support including bursaries, retention and recruitment initiatives.
Scholarships and Fellowships
At its February meeting, the Board approved a budget allocation of
$3,629,173 for graduate scholarships/teaching fellowships for 1997/98,
with $341,560 of this amount to be allocated to graduate teaching
fellowships. In addition, at its March meeting, the Board approved the
launch of the Chancellor's Scholarship program which will see 25
Saskatchewan high school graduates receive up to $16,000 over four
years to pursue their studies at the U of S.
Library Acquisitions
To help combat the annual inflation rate for library materials (10 per cent),
the budget allows for an increase of 5 per cent in each of the next two
years for library acquisitions.
Student Employment and Career Centre Funding
The Board decided to re-evaluate its previous decision to phase out the
Student Employment and Career Centre Funding. Under last year's budget,
funding for the SECC was to drop from $45,000 to $30,000 in the 1997/98
budget year and be phased out entirely by 1999/2000. However, the
funding will hold at $30,000 while the Board reconsiders.
College of Dentistry
The Board approved the internationalization of 15 spaces in the College of
Dentistry with benchmarks for the next three years established to monitor
progress.
Faculty Reductions
The Board approved the elimination of 22 faculty positions: College of Arts
and Science - 10 positions, College of Education - 10 positions, College of
Physical Education - 2 positions.
Other Reductions
The Board also approved other reductions for all colleges and
administrative units totaling almost $2 million with 50 per cent of the
reduction to be achieved in 1997/98 and the balance in 1998/99.
Increased Revenue
Through a variety of revenue generation measures, the University is
budgeting for increased revenue of $800,000 by 1998/99.

Amati instruments returning to Saskatchewan
Saskatoon SK, April 25, 1997 -- The Board of Governors today voted to
extend the agreement allowing the Lafayette Quartet in Victoria to use a
valuable quartet of Amati string instruments for another 12 months. The
Board emphasized that this will be the final agreement with the Lafayette
Quartet, and the instruments will definitely be returned to Saskatchewan
at the end of a year.
The extension will allow us an opportunity to put in place arrangements
for the instruments to be used as the basis for a string program at the
University of Saskatchewan, said Mr. Hal Wyatt, Board Chair. We've
had a number of creative proposals put forward for the best way to use
these instruments to the benefit of Saskatchewan residents. We must now
deal with the financial feasability of those proposals.
The Board will establish a committee which will include the board chair,
two board members, representaatives from the music department, the
Amati Committe, and the Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra to develop a
plan which will set out the use to which the instruments will be put on their
return.

WCVM opens equine performance
centre
Saskatoon SK, April 22, 1997 -- The Western College of
Veterinary Medicine (WCVM) opened its new Equine
Performance Centre today with a demonstration of
western Canada's only high speed treadmill for horses.
Research programs, training for veterinary students and
clinical service for owners of performance horses are three
obvious areas that will benefit either directly or indirectly
from having this facility available, said Dr. Jeremy Bailey,
Professor of Large Animal Surgery.
An old animal isolation building to the north of the large
animal clinic, which stood empty and condemned for years,
was dismantled, refurbished, expanded and rebuilt for the
centre.
Using a treadmill allows equine sports medicine experts to
examine horses in motion while under very controlled
circumstances. They will be better able to evaluate
problems such as lameness, fitness levels, and respiratory
diseases.
The potential value of this facility to the horse industry of
Western Canada is enormous, said Dr. Bailey. With the use
of equipment like the treadmill and in-ground force plate,
our understanding of problems in performance animals will
be greatly enhanced.
The facility and equipment was paid for through an NSERC
grant awarded to veterinary medicine researchers, support
from the University and the WCVM and the Veterinary
Teaching Hospital, and a contribution made by the Western
Canadian Veterinary Student Association.

Cameco Donates $1 Million to First &
Best
Saskatoon SK, April 16, 1997 -- President of the University
of Saskatchewan, George Ivany, and Bernard Michel, Chair,
President and Chief Executive Officer of Cameco, today
announced that Cameco is donating $1 million to the
University of Saskatchewan's First & Best National
Campaign.
The funding will be used to develop the Cameco Access
Program for Engineering and Science (CAPES) within the
College of Engineering. With this donation, Cameco also
becomes a founding member of the University's Innovative
Teaching and Learning Centre (ITLC).
Information technology is changing the ways we work, play
and learn, said Dr. Ivany as he described the importance of
Cameco's donation. To meet this challenge, the University
of Saskatchewan is pioneering the use of new technologies
to develop and deliver quality educational materials for the
people of Saskatchewan and beyond.
Cameco is proud to partner with the University of
Saskatchewan to develop the Cameco Access Program for
Engineering and Science, said Michel. Our objective is to
motivate students in remote areas, and in particular
residents of Saskatchewan's north, to consider a career in
engineering or the sciences.
Students will no longer be restricted by the walls of a
classroom, added Ivany, nor will access to the University
of Saskatchewan be limited to those who have the time and
money to take up residence in Saskatoon.
This donation raises Cameco's total support to the
University of Saskatchewan to more than $2.5 million,
added Michel. This level of giving is proof that Cameco has
a long-term commitment to the communities where we
work. We hope this donation will help provide another tool
to improve local employment skills.
As the founding member of the ITLC, Cameco's support of
the development of CAPES follows a tradition of partnership
with the University of Saskatchewan. In addition to this
announcement, Cameco currently funds the Cameco Chair in
Environmental and Aqueous Geochemistry and has recently
established a scholarship program for women interested in
pursuing a bachelors degree in geology.

Agriculture Program (CAP) will present Certificates in
Agriculture to 33 individuals on April 25, 1997 as part of the
College of Agriculture's annual diploma and certificate
graduation.
The CAP graduates of 1997 are the sixth group to complete

to study at a distance while continuing their farm business
and family responsibilities.
The CAP program has received the Distinguished Credit
Program Award from the Association for Continuing Higher
Education as well as the Outstanding Program Award from
the Canadian Association for University Continuing Higher
Education.
The 1996/97 year was the most successful yet for the CAP
program with over 400 course registrations from across
the prairie provinces, said Loessin. The program is gaining
recognition within the agriculture industry as a credible
post-secondary source of agricultural education.

Saskatoon SK, April 8, 1997 -- Dr. George Ivany, President of the
University, along with John Gugulyn, Potash Corporation of
Saskatchewan, Inc. (Senior Vice-President, Administration), today turned
sod on the University of Saskatchewan campus to begin work on a new
addition to the College of Commerce.
The teaching facility, supported by the $5 million PCS donation to the
University of Saskatchewan's First and Best National Campaign, will be
built to improve the delivery of business education to University of
Saskatchewan students.
The $5 million PCS donation, the largest donation ever made to the
University of Saskatchewan, will go a long way to support the College of
Commerce and prepare our students to function effectively in the new
global economy, said Lynne Pearson, Dean of the college.
The facility will contain case rooms and a theatre, and will allow for more
effective teaching of students with use of multimedia and electronically
aided instructional equipment.
While turning the sod, Gugulyn stated that the funding being provided is
a reflection of the commitment PCS has to quality education now and in
the future.
Not only do organizations like PCS call for quality graduates, added
Gugulyn, they also call for graduates who are familiar with the
technologies and innovations apparent in the world economy.
The College of Commerce has a current enrollment of 1,750 full and part-
time students. The addition is expected to be complete by January 1999.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

President & CEO of UST Inc. appointed
Saskatoon SK, April 4, 1997 -- The University of
Saskatchewan has taken a step towards greater focus on
commercializing the technology of its researchers with the
appointment of Dr. Simon Wood as President and CEO of
University of Saskatchewan Technologies Inc. (UST).
The University attracts over $50 million per annum of
sponsored research funding for its 1000 faculty and 2000
graduate students, said Dr. Dennis Johnson, Associate V.P.
(Research). The discoveries that result from this research
should be protected and commercialized for the benefit of
the sponsors, inventors, and the University.
The role of UST is to evaluate the work done by university
researchers, assess its patentability, and determine
potential companies or individuals who may wish to license
the technology.
Until now, there was only one full-time equivalent person
to address all of the research being done on campus. A
grant from the Natural Science and Engineering Research
Council (NSERC) combined with generous contributions from
Royal Bank and CIBC through the First & Best National
Campaign will allow Dr. Wood to form a team of technology
transfer and business development professionals.
I see a large potential for growth of UST Inc. and the
development of new companies based on university
intellectual property, he said. With more professional
staff available to go out and visit the various colleges on
campus and discuss with university staff their current
projects, many more exciting technologies will materialize.
Dr. Wood holds a Ph. D in organic/pharmaceutical chemistry
from the University of Salford in the United Kingdom. He
has had a successful career in the private sector where he
developed marketing strategies for a number of
technologies. Most recently, he worked for Prairiechem
Inc., a chemical distribution company with head office in
Saskatoon and offices across Western Canada. The
business unit he managed there tripled sales to over $3
million in one year.
Dr. Wood sees the proximity of Innovation Place and the
almost 3000 people on campus doing research as an
abundance of opportunity. There is a real entrepreneurial
spirit in Saskatchewan. Unfortunately, we often lose it to
places like Alberta, he said. I hope UST can help set up
their facilities here in Saskatoon.

Backgrounder
UST Inc. was incorporated in 1991 as the technology
transfer arm of the University of Saskatchewan.
The U of S has had a successful history of technology
transfer and creating spin-off companies starting with SED
Systems. Currently UST Inc. is working on about 30
technologies that are in various stages of development.
Some recent successes are:
Conifer Somatic Embryos -- This technology allows the
production of hardy, disease tolerant conifers from one
seed for reforestation. It is currently licensed to Pacific
Regeneration Technologies Inc., Canada's largest
reforestation company.
Canola Petal Test for Selerotinia (a stem rot fungal disease)
-- This patented technology predicts the extent of
infection so a decision whether to invest in fungicide
application may be made. This technology has been licensed
to Reed Agricultural Services of Elrose, Saskatchewan.
Aliphatic Propargylamines -- These compounds were
invented by scientists in the Neuropsychiatric Research
Centre and are highly potent in protecting nerve damage.
Ciba-Gigy (Novartis) has licensed these and are funding
continued research and development at the U of S worth a
value of $2 million.
Bean Harvester -- This technology reduces the loss of
beans at harvest from approximately 65 per cent to about
15 per cent. It has been licensed to Keho Alta Products Ltd.,
a machine manufacturer in Alberta.
Semicarbazones having Central Nervous System (CNS)
Activity -- Researchers at the College of Pharmacy and
Nutrition have invented novel compounds that exhibit
excellent anticonvulsant activity (for treatment of
epileptic seizures and other CNS disorders). Currently,
feasibility testing under an option agreement is taking
place, which will allow the potential licensee to license the
compounds.

U of S students competing in Singapore
Saskatoon SK, April 2, 1997 -- When Bruce Hoggard, a sessional
lecturer in the College of Commerce gave his MGT 340 class the
assignment of creating nine entries for the National Business Strategy
Competition in Singapore, the students didn?t expect to have a team
make it to the finals.
A total of 119 teams from around the world entered the prestigious
competition with four proceeding to the final round in Singapore on April
12. Team Sentosa, made up of Rich Bazille, Brian Boensch, Paula
Crone, Keith Timmerman, and Randal Penman is the only international
team remaining.
When asked what made this team so successful, Hoggard commented it
was a reflection of what the students brought to the class and what they'd
learned in the class. Each member of the team had the ability to accept
and fulfill a distinct role which allowed them to meet the challenge, he
said.
The challenge facing the nine U of S teams was to create a marketing
concept to better develop Singapore's tropical resort island of Sentosa, a
unique environment where private investments and SDC-owned
attractions co-exist. The key to the local team?s recommendation was an
emphasis on teamwork.
Though a simple concept, Hoggard feels that the student?s recognition of
a fundamental principle may be the key to their winning the competition.
That they?ve made it this far tells our students they can compete and
succeed anywhere in the world, he said.

award
Saskatoon SK, April 1, 1997 -- Five U of S commerce
students recently won an award from Scotiabank for the
best written business plan at the Queen's Entrepreneurs'
Competition at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario.
Kim Pauls, Greg Taylor, Craig Marcynuk, Jeff Mochoruk, and
Sandra Kaminski were the first University of Saskatchewan
team to apply to the competition and they were the only
western Canadian team to be represented at the finals.
The business plan for Trimax Advertising Inc., a novel
advertising company developed by the students was one of
approximately 35 - 40 entries received from across Canada
and reviewed by a panel of preliminary judges. Nine of
those entries were selected for a final presentation
competition held March 13 and 14 in Kingston.
The advantage that 4th year students have is they've
learned a lot of the technical aspects of business through
their education. When you combine that with their
creativity and enthusiasm and it's a pretty powerful
package, said Monica Kreuger, Management 447
instructor. These students have some amazing ideas and
they should be supported in bringing ideas to fruition.
The panel of judges for the presentation competition
included representatives from Coopers & Lybrand, Deloitte
and Touche, Scotiabank, Royal Bank, and the Canadian
Business Magazine.
The competition gave us an opportunity to see the
different perspective presented by the critiques and
analysis of the business industry, said Kim Pauls. It was
also valuable to see a lot of other business plans from
other parts of the country.
Their idea and award will appear in the Canadian Business
Magazine later this year.
