The Expo Hall, too, will feel like a League of Nations with Asian artists, Japanese and Indian dancers and Cantonese opera stars jostling for space.

For five days this month, the arts are taking over the campus for the 1997 HKUST Arts Festival, to be held from 24 to 28 February.

The organizers are six student societies Music, Choir, Dance, Film, Band and the Wind Ensemble advised by prominent Hong Kong artist Choi Yan Chi and supported by the Universitys Center for the Arts.

"we've never had an arts festival like this before,'said Vincent Cheng, a member of the Band Society. "There are far more guest artists, more varied performances Thanks to Danny Yung and the Center for the Arts, who helped get the artists.

The idea for the Festival came from the students. The societies wanted to help the drive to make the University "more genteel and cultural. The timing of the event means they have been able to attract artists appearing in the Hong Kong Arts Festival, giving students a chance to work with top professional artists.

"we want this year's Festival to be a model for years to come, said Vincent. "i hope we've starting a wonderful tradition.

HKUST's research was on public view at Technology Week '97, held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. From 5 to 7 January, 35 UST booths introduced University research to industry, government, students and the general public - over 100,000 visitors in total.

Projects on show included new Chinese medicines, rotary motors, ecolabelling, industrial databases and 3D garment design.

Public demand for explanations, leaflets and prospectuses was matched with healthy commercial interest and contacts.

"we've had watch manufacturers interested in using our displays,'said staff at the Center for Display Research stand. "we're pleased because we designed the booth to attract industry.

The foot-measuring system designed by IEEM was also popular. "It's been worthwhile - many people from the garment industry have turned up, said a staff member, busy measuring a visitor's foot.

Some units, such as MCPC and the Cyberspace Center, were promoting their services. Prof Ming Yu, Director of the MCPC was pleased with the result.

"we've had good crowds mainly researchers and those from industry, but a lot of secondary students visited the stall too.

But it wasn't just research that benefited. ISMT was showcasing the work of its final-year students and got many enquiries from impressed potential employers.

Students staffing the stands felt it was a valuable experience. Keith Kan (IEEM, Year 3) was kept busy explaining the IEEM projects on show.

"It's good getting feedback on our ideas from industry,he said. He've had to deal with business people directly, which is great experience for a third-year student.The hundred km of hard walking ended with success in Nov-

ember with all four UST teams completing Trailwalker '96 and raising $54,000 for good causes at the same time. More than 2,600 people walked this year, hoping to raise $13M for Oxfam Hong Kong, local charities for disabled people and Gurkhas in Nepal. Every dollar raised by the walkers goes direct to the charities.

Trailwalker is tough. Walkers have to complete the MacLehose Trail in 48 hours. This year it wasn't just the terrain that caused problems. Daytime temperatures were high enough to cause heat stroke, but after dark it was another story.

"the nights were very cold. In some exposed areas you couldn't stand still or you would have been blown away, explained T. K. Cheung, who walked with David Mak, David Chung and H. K. Yeung. The team completed the course in 35 hours, 10 minutes.

Bob Krider's team started with last-minute replacements. Corbett Rowell, from Electrical and Electronic Engineering, joined the team with a week to go and finished in just 22 hours. Bob and Kathie Zwick carried on after another replacement member retired injured with an eventual team time of 28 hours, 51 minutes.

T. M. Kwok from Chemistry and his team - Guanhua Chen, Gerita Lau and Willy Wong -made it home in 36 hours, 46 minutes, with only a couple of stops for first-aid along the way.

Clair Krider's team raised the most money, $30,000, greatly helped by a corporate donation from Enerson Electric. The team finished in 35 hours, 42 minutes.

The walkers - Clair, Lydia Price, Priya Raghubir and Virginia Unkefer - were grateful to their supporters, a feeling shared by all the teams. "One of our support team, Elizabeth Weldon, even walked the early morning stages with us on Saturday, to boost our morale, explained Priya. "without the team's support we wouldn't have been able to do it, or have so much fun,'she said. "we owe them a lot. UST Unites to Help Family of Garley Fire Victim

The UST community reached into their pockets to help the family of Brian Leung Siu Hong, the '94 computer science graduate who died tragically in the Garley Building fire of last November.

Last month, a small group of UST students led by Computer Science Head, Prof Roland Chin, delivered $115,730 to Brian's mother, who had lost her husband a year earlier.

毢rian's mother asked us to thank everyone for their kind help,'said Lily Chan, who coordinated the fundraising effort launched by the Computer Science Department. 科大籌款援助

嘉利大廈火災中喪生{????}友家屬

科大 94 年計算機科學系畢業生梁紹康，不幸於去年 11 月的嘉利大廈火災中喪生。為援 助梁紹康家人〔梁紹康父親早於一年前過身〕，計算機科學系在事件發生後不久，即發起 籌款活動，共籌得 115,730 元。

{????}{????}在 1 月 9 日，計算機科學系系主任錢大康教授和幾位同學代表，把籌得善款送到梁 紹康母親手中。參與這款工作的陳苑莉說{????}

G'梁紹康的媽媽對科大教職員及學生的關懷深表謝意。{????}In these days of the World Wide Web, one would think that communicating would be easier than ever. Alas, despite the pretty pictures and Java aplets, language is still pretty important to the message through the medium. No wonder there is such a great deal of public concern about language standards in Hong Kong. Of course a lot of the concern is communicated in the only language that the media seem to think that the public can understand "the language of scandal and ridicule. The universities, for example, who only get to see the students after they have finished the most important 18 years of language acquisition, are trumpeted as the cause of the problem because of their low admissions standards.

I am quite sure that 10 to 15 years ago, mothers and nannies anticipated these lax policies and said to themselves, "what the heck, why bother to make this kid learn to speak English or write Chinese when he will be able to get into university anyway?' And the Education Department probably decided against hiring the necessary numbers of qualified language teachers for the same reason. I know I would not have bothered to have my children learn to read if I thought illiterates (other than talented athletes) would be able to get into college. I am sure you feel the same way.

It strikes me as more than a little ironic that right now we are being asked to provide handicapped students with opportunities for a university education. All the universities have agreed to participate in a special program set up for considering applicants with identified disabilities. This is at the same time that we are being criticized for providing educational opportunities to another group of students who have been handicapped by the failure of the educational system to meet their needs.

Hmmm, maybe this provides a solution to the problem. If we define students who fail both Chinese and English at A-level as linguistically disabled" we can admit them under the special program for handicapped students. Then we can be seen as doing some good for the disadvantaged instead of somehow retroactively damaging their language education. Since this is supposed to be a humor column, I also considered suggesting Tongue in cheek, of course, for who would take it seriously that this group of students be punished by making them pay 100% of the cost of their university education. But my brand of humor is too gentle for such a cruel joke.

Hair stylist Stephen Ng opened his FonSue Saloon on campus because he likes working with young people and wants to hear their ideas. To encourage HKUST students to come to FonSue, Mr Ng offers them a 20% discount.

FonSue the combination of the names of Mr Ng's wife and his sister-in-law's the second shop Mr Ng has run in his 15 years as a stylist. It opened in LG4 on 23 January.

Paul Bolton, VP-AB, was one of the 22 customers to get a haircut on the shop's first day of business.

was so impressed that I told my wife and she went the same afternoon and was also pleased,'Mr Bolton said. "the price is refreshingly lower than what I've been used to paying. I intend to go again.

A shampoo and cut cost $70. The team of three stylists and two junior stylists can color, perm and create hairstyles for a special evening out. They use Wella brand products.

In deriving his price list, Mr Ng compared salon prices in both Sai Kung and Junk Bay. FonSue's prices fall appropriately in between the two.

Business hours are from 9 am to 7 pm, Monday to Saturday. To make an appointment, call 2358-1975. To reach the shop, take lift 6 near the S. H. Ho Sports Hall.

Campus Cut: Affordable, Convenient and Friendly Taichi Inspiration

The two newest members of the University community arrived in early January with the aid of a crane and a heavy truck. Cast in bronze, aichi Spin Kick' and aichi Swing' are the work of sculptor Ju Ming. Both pieces are on loan to the University from the Hanart TZ Gallery in Hong Kong.

Ju has exhibited widely in his native Taiwan, as well as Hong Kong, Japan, England and New York. He began carving Chinese gods and icons for temples, before an apprenticeship with sculptor Yuyu Yang launched his career in 1976.

More art works are planned for the University grounds. Danny Yung, Artistic Controller of the HKUST Center for the Arts, believes public art has a crucial role on campus.

art makes people think and stimulates new thinking, we need art around us. "Taichi Swing' (shown here) can be

found on the lawn at LG7, overlooking staff quarters, while "Taichi Spin Kick'looks out to sea between the President's Lodge and Tower 3.

Wendy's to Open in Campus Food Court

It won't be long before you have to stop and think about where you would like to go for lunch. The choice of campus eateries will double when the LG5 food court opens fully at the end of April. There will be something for nearly everyone, including burger fans as American fast-food chain Wendy's will be opening in mid-April. This is Wendy's first university outlet in Hong Kong.

"after we open at HKUST, we hope other local campuses will take a look at us,'said Natalie Sudirman, the development manager for Wendy's.

Also moving to LG5 in mid-April will be Park's Shop, which will have double its current space, and the Student Co-op, which will expand its stock to include computers and computer software.

By the end of April, Asian food lovers will have a choice of three outlets, including a Thai/Southeast Asian/Japanese stall, a Beijing stall and a Cantonese congee and snack counter.

"These outlets offer the variety of food that students and staff have said they would like to have on campus,'said Vivien Cheung, head of Campus Services. "we are the first university in Hong Kong to have an international fast-food franchise on campus.

The University community has also made clear its preference for alfresco dining enjoying a meal outdoors. In response, CSO has ordered tables and chairs for the LG5 platform area, which connects the academic building to the car park.

LG5 should enliven the current dining scene on campus. Chefs at the Thai counter will prove entertaining as they kneed and throw into the air the dough used to make a variety of regional breads and pancakes. The UST venue is the twelfth food outlet for proprietor Ralph Mui, who welcomes comments on the quality and variety of food on offer.

"I hope to develop a good relationship with staff and students so together we can create a counter that people like,'said Mr Mui. anybody can tell me if the food is too spicy, or if there is a food item they would like to see.

The food court will be open daily from 7:30 am to 9 pm.Engineers Glimpse China HKUST's student engineers got a glimpse of China over the winter break, during a study trip to Guangzhou.

During the four-day visit, the students visited the Huang Pu economic development zone, the Pearl River Network, Guangzhou Computer City and the Yang Cheng Automobile Group.

Organized by the Engineering Students Society and the South China University of Technology (SCUT), the students were impressed by the pace of economic development they saw, and appreciative of the differences between learning in Hong Kong and Guangzhou.

it SCUT, students focus more on the calculating skills required for engineering, while at UST we focus more on engineering management,'explained Kevin So Kin Lam (CIVL, 2). "we should make the most of the opportunities at UST computer networks, for example, are far less developed in China. engineering's Star excellence awards were presented to engineering faculty in December, the largest number given

in a single semester. The awards are based on student assessments and faculty recommendations. To date, 27 faculty members have received the awards.

"The School of Engineering pays attention to teaching and learning quality,'said Prof Ping Ko, Dean of Engineering. "we applaud the award winners for their hard work and dedication. Bread: UST diners can look forward to fresh Indian naan bread whipped up right before their eyes at the Asian food counter to open on LG5. Call Me!

It's easy enough to do as UST students are extremely well connected, if a recent student survey is anything to go by.

No fewer than 88% of the students surveyed by the Student Internet Society use pagers. And 15% use mobile phones. Only 7% of the 89 students polled do not use either of the two gadgets.

The survey was conducted in Chinese from 24 November to 1 December 1996. Winners on the Web

Setting up in cyberspace may be a daunting task for most of us, but not for the winners of the first HKUST Web Homepage Competition.

First prize went to Ma Kai Cho (CIVL, 3). Cho has mounted the page in Chinese with different sections displayed in full-colour, animated graphics. You can take a look at the winning site at http susis.ust.hk/~wp0010.

Ng Wai Yim (ELEC, 2) took second prize with a lively page (http susis.ust.hk/~wp 0005) that features a real-time countdown to 1 July, as well as links to news and jobs sites around the world.

Over 1,500 people have already visited Yeung Kam Sze's site (http susis.ust.hk/~wp0001). The third-year biochemistry student has created an excellent CV in cyberspace, with links to favorite web sites.

This year's competition was co-organized by the Information and Systems Management Student Society and the Student Internet Society, with judges from CCST and the ISMT Department. The winners received free internet accounts from APNet and book coupons.

QI recently saw a student advertising his hall place for let for $10,000 on the ENB. Is this allowed?

ALuke Wong (DSAO): "The letting of hall places to third parties by legal residents is strictly prohibited and is punished by Hall Wardens if proved to be true. In a similar case, the student failed to provide an acceptable explanation to hall management and was immediate expelled from the hall.

QWhen will the new barbecue site be opened and how can people reserve a time to use it?

AMike Hudson (DEMO): "The University has just taken over the amenity platform, including the barbecue area, from the contractor. The whole area is newly planted and it is desirable that

the vegetation have an opportunity to get established as well as possible before the area is brought into use.

Temporary fencing has been erected to restrict users to the paths and pavilions. There will be an official announcement regarding the opening of the barbecue areas once the grounds become usable.

有人把本世紀稱為'電子世紀'，而二十一 世紀則將會是'光的世紀'，因為新型光學材料的開發與應用將在科技發展中佔越來越重 要的地位。最近，科大化學系講師唐本忠{????}士等人成功地利用一種富勒烯 (Fullerene) 化 合物，製備出濾光玻璃和濾光塑料，這種新型光學材料能有效地遮斷從紫外到可見光範圍 內任意波長的光線，預計會有極大的應用前景。

美麗的分子 {????}{????}富勒烯是一種由 60 個或以上碳原子{????}成的球狀分子，由三位美英科學家史莫利〔R.E. Smalley〕、柯爾〔R.F. Curl Jr.〕和克羅托〔H.W. Kroto〕於 1985 年發現。

{????}{????}當時，史莫利等人在一項實驗中，將一束大功率的脈衝激光打在石墨上，使它的溫度 在瞬息之間升高到上萬度並發生氣化；然後，他們在石墨蒸汽中摻入氦氣氣流，使其驟然 冷卻；在此過程中，碳原子發生重排，形成了多種大小不同的原子簇團。經質譜儀測定， 碳原子數目為 60 70 的簇團佔了最大的比例。

{????}{????}進一步的研究發現，簇團中碳原子與碳原子在連接{????}成新分子的過程中，形成由多個 正五邊形和正六邊形相互交織的立體球狀結構，具有高度的穩定性和對稱性。由於它們貌 似美國建築學家巴克明斯特 富勒〔Buckmister Fuller〕所設計的圓頂建築物，因而被命 名為富勒烯。

{????}{????}富勒烯不僅外形美觀，還擁有許多獨特的性能及潛在的應用價値，其中包括超導性、 非線性光學活性、抗癌及抗愛滋病生物活性等。三位富勒烯的發現者也因此榮獲 1996 年 度{????}貝爾化學奬。

光學應用 {????}{????}唐本忠等人的研究是利用富勒烯的光學活性，來開發新一代的濾光材料。他們將富勒 烯製成水溶性的衍生物，並發現這類富勒烯衍生物的濃度與吸收光波長之{????}s在著一定的 比例關係。根據這樣的關係，他們用化學反應的方法，將所需濃度的富勒烯摻入玻璃或塑 料中，製備成具有優異光學性能的富勒烯光學玻璃及光學塑料。唐本忠{????}士已向美國專利 局申請有關這項新技術的專利權。

{????}{????}唐本忠{????}士說：'只要{????}節材料中富勒烯的濃度，便能有效地阻擋或限制任何特定波 長的光線，而不影響材料的透明度，這是富勒烯光學材料的最大優點；此外，這種光學材 料相當穩定，在使用過程中不會像普通塑料鏡片那樣，出現褪色等質量變化。'

{????}{????}富勒烯光學材料擁有廣泛的應用前景，既可應用在天文望遠鏡、宇宙飛船、精密光學 儀器等高科技產品；也可用於激光護目鏡、醫療器材、光敏物品及食品包裝、太陽鏡、防 曬霜等一系列防護用品。新一代光學材料：富勒烯 問我最近看見一個學生在電子告示板上刊登廣告，想以 10,000 元把他的宿位租出。他可 以這樣做嗎？

答學生事務處處長黃兆光覆：'學{????}嚴禁獲分配宿位的同學把其宿位轉租給其他人。如果 查證屬實，有關學生將會受到舍監的懲罰。過去曾有類似事件，由於該名學生不能提供合 理的解釋，宿舍管理人員因此收回他獲分配的宿位。'

問我經常看到一些清潔工人在升降機內工作時，都沒有戴口罩或採用其他保護措施，也沒 有打開升降機門。長期在這樣封閉的環境下工作，吸入揮發性極高的清潔劑，相信會危害 他們的健康。我想問大學有沒有關注到基層僱員的職業安全，為他們提供適當的保護和安 全指引呢？這些清潔工人說，她們不能暫時關掉升降機，因為此舉會對使用升降機的人造 成不便，但大學是否祇圖方便，而罔顧這些職工的安全呢？

答{????}產經理戴偉樂覆：'{????}產管理處的首要任務是確保{????}園內每一個人的安全和健康，這 當然包括我們的同事和承包商的僱員。

{????}{????}我們有很多工作守則都是諮詢過安全及環保處後制定的。例如，我們會定期檢查在{????} 園內使用的清潔劑，確保它們不會對職工或其他人士造成傷害；如有需要，我們會提供個 人防護用具，並教導職工正確使用這些物品的方法。我們對每項操作都會加以謹愼考慮， 務求安全至上。

{????}{????}我們的記錄指出，清潔升降機的承包商曾提交兩種市面上相當普遍的清潔劑成品。其 中一種是不銹鋼清潔劑，我們要求承包商提供更詳盡的資料，但他們表示有困難，於是大 學不准他們在{????}園內使用這類清潔劑。{????}產管理處還會不時檢查，以確保承包商祇會使用 我們批准的清潔劑。

{????}{????}透過以上揩施，{????}產管理處希望科大{????}園能在衛生、安全、實用和方便等方面，達到 第一流的水平。'

問聽說大學髮廊已經開業，我想知道它設在那裏，營業時間為何？ 答科大髮廊東主吳漢强覆：'髮廊已於 1 月 23 日開始營業，它在 LG4，祇要乘搭何善 衡體育館旁的 6 號升降機便可到達。

{????}{????}我們的營業時間是星期一至星期六，上午 9 時至下午 7 時，星期日及公眾假期休息 。我們歡迎預約(電話是 2358-1975)，這樣可以節省大家的時間。'Winter Sale
