MUPRA TO ALLOCATE NEW POSTGRADUATE FACILITIES
MUPRA (the Macquarie University Postgraduate Representative Association) has been asked by Professor Jack Bassett for the University to administer access to the new Postgraduate facilities located in Building C5A 329. MUPRA has agreed to do this as a public service to its members.
The facility includes 97 desks, with lock-up drawer underneath for each student to secure with his or her own padlock, situated in two rooms on either side of a computing facility dedicated to the area. Each desk is numbered.
If postgraduate students have not already been allocated a desk in their Schools, they may apply for a desk in the facility through Ms Vivienne James, MUPRA Postgraduate Development Officer, E7A Room 108. Vivienne's hours are from Monday to Thursday 9.00am to 1.00pm and 2.00 to 5.00pm. It is expected that those who already have facilities available to them will not apply.
Access to the facility is by electronic proximity card, for which postgrads will be required to sign. They must not allow anyone else to use their swipe cards, and if the proximity card is lost it will be necessary to re-apply to Vivienne. For this, a charge of $25 will be made, which must be paid to the University through the Cashier; Vivienne will have to sight the receipt before she can issue a new card.
Each card will have the number of the desk to which the user has been allocated. As there will be more demand than available space, allocation will be on a first-come first-served basis. Applications may be made to Vivienne (E7A 108). Students who complete a degree or no longer wish to use the facility, must return the card to Vivienne. The card will be made invalid by Buildings and Grounds if a person ceases to enrol.
Within the facility you may use your laptop, as the area has a wireless connection to the University network. There is a power point for recharging batteries. To use the wireless facility students will need to obtain an aerial card from OCS.
This Postgraduate facility is available 24 hours per day. There is a telephone in the computer room in the event of an emergency or for internal use.

Research Committee
The Research Committee has a new Commerce Cluster representative, Dr Dipendra Sinha. Dr Sinha is a Senior Lecturer in Economics in the School of Economic and Financial Studies. His extension is x9948.
Each year, the Research Committee coopts several members for the purpose of reviewing internal grants scheme applications and associated interviews. In 1998 the coopted members are Associate Professor Yola Center (Education), Dr Karu Esselle (Mathematics, Physics, Computing and Electronics), Associate Professor Norma Harrison (Graduate School of Management), Dr Zada Lipman (Law), and Dr Helena Nevalainen (Biological Sciences).
NHMRC - GrantNet
This year, for the first time, all NHMRC applications were required to be submitted entirely electronically via the GrantNet system on the World Wide Web. As the researchers involved already know, the entire exercise was nothing short of disastrous; the GrantNet system was plagued with multiple problems which necessitated several extensions of the closing date. Macquarie's proposals were finalised on 30 March. Our sincere thanks go to Mira Junge for becoming completely acquainted with a difficult process, steadfastly seeking solutions to the various problems which arose, and ably assisting our applicants to overcome them. We sincerely hope that the NHMRC will perfect the system before next year's round!

ACADEMICALLY SPEAKING
I should love to sing in China, should love even to climb to the top of some remote mountain in Tibet and sing psalms with the Grand Lama.
Dame Nellie Melba
Taiwan seems as good a spot to start as any. Taiwan was host to the Second Australia-Taiwan Conference on Vocational Education and Training which brought together Australian and Taiwanese delegates from universities, colleges, business and government.1 Taiwan is deeply imbued with American education. Ministry officials, university presidents and professors have almost all studied in America. Taipei looks like the Bronx decked out in Chinese characters, and as Australia moved out, the American Colleges were moving in to set up the Annual American College Education Fair.
So, why Australia-Taiwan? Taiwan is a rare species in this year of the anxious tigers. It has a stable currency and the ambition to convert its manufacturing-based economy to high technology. This is the link with vocational training, skill development and education. Perhaps, the story sounds familiar. DEETYA presented a case for a model Australian education system based on national accreditation, competency-based assessment, training packages and user choice. Under this system, industry specifies the required outcomes and competencies and chooses the trainer. Believe it or not, the curriculum has become optional in the new world of training packages. Public and private providers will compete in the market judged by industry satisfaction with their work. 2 Where the vocations go, will the professions be far behind?
Taiwan has a mixed system of public and private institutions of higher education. The various public national universities enjoy the highest status, but junior colleges are being progressively upgraded to institutes of technology and institutes of technology are being upgraded to universities. The top public and private universities pursue research as a core value and offer many opportunities for exchange. The Ministry of Education, on the other hand, wants greater weight given to vocational education and is looking for more "hands on" experience in professional education such as teacher education. All the rhetoric in both Australia and Taiwan points to demand-driven education, but the regulators are clearly determined to ensure that it is their demands which are met.
Distance education was a major theme. Taiwan has recently changed its regulations so that students in Taiwan can take distance education units for credit. It is also becoming easier to study abroad.3 Governments of all persuasions clearly set much store on distance education. We now have a variety of vehicles for delivering distance education. Macquarie has experimented with interactive tutorials by video-conferencing between Australia and Japan and this is an idea which could enliven language teaching and Asian and European Studies. It is a way of developing cultural understanding which would fit our strategy for internationalisation. Several Taiwanese institutions were looking for partners to develop materials on local culture which could be useful in preparing students and businessmen for work abroad.
Nevertheless, there is no substitute for a real conference. Even if the official agenda is diplomatically scripted and could be run by video-conference,4 there is a lot happening off the agenda. The unscripted bits which happen when the ingredients are stirred are the most intriguing and remain a difficulty for distance education.
There are differences and different approaches between Australia and Taiwan. Pre-match Australian propaganda portrayed the Australian approach as a unique industry-led training system and Taiwan as dominated by central planning that is government dominated. Another interesting difference appeared in a talk on the childcare industry. In Australia, the emphasis is on learning through play; in Taiwan, the aim is to teach skills. In both cases, the attitudes and perceptions say a great deal about our cultures.
In conclusion, I might note that skills are not completely foreign to Australia. We have generic skills developed as part of the push for vocational training and included in the portrait of the ideal Macquarie graduate.5 The generic skills listed in our Strategic Plan are the usual ones: communication skills, literacy, numeracy, computer literacy, problem-solving, critical analysis, working with others, leadership, self-management and cultural understanding. Industry is now starting to talk about the following list of more valuable and more complex skills: intelligent risk-taking, empathy, self-motivation, critical reasoning, self-awareness and interpersonal effectiveness. I believe these skills offer a better description of the value added by a successful university education and I would like to prove it is so.6
Internationalisation brings a perspective which gives fresh insights on life at home.
Art and literature are at first nationally
created,
but become internationally appreciated.

WEATHER AT MACQUARIE
from Roger T Nurse, Senior Observer,
School of Earth Sciences
APRIL SHOWERS - 1998
The Weather at Macquarie stayed dry for the first eight days of April. Things began to change on the eighth, with the development of high cloud during the hot afternoon, 33.5 degrees at M.U.2, and 33.0 at M.U.1, and a warm evening. On the ninth, Maundy Thursday, the sky was overcast with light rain in the morning. Thick masses of cumulus built up during the day, but the rain kept off until late afternoon. Mighty thunderstorms developed just before 18:00 (6:00pm) and heavy rain developed over the North Shore and also South of the City. There was mighty thunder for about an hour from 18:00 to 19:00 and flash flooding in the city. The storms cleared during the evening but a cloudy chaotic sky persisted. Showers in the night occurred at intervals adding to the rainfall totals for 24 hours, typically 20 to 30mm around Macquarie, registered on 10th.
On the tenth, Good Friday, the rain continued all day with another mighty thunderstorm from 12:00 to 14:00 which produced more heavy rain, and flash flooding in the district, and tested your gutters and down-pipes. This storm passed just South of Pymble and caused very heavy rain there, but not so much at Macquarie. Another storm developed later in the afternoon around Macquarie which produced violent rain over the Playing Fields, but not so much at Pymble. Sporting Events at the Playing Fields then all had to be cancelled. There was some soil erosion and damage to trees during the day.
Rain continued on into the night with occasional thunder. Totals for the 24 hours were typically 150mm around Macquarie, 180mm at Pymble, but the Belrose, Terry Hills area received over 200mms. These register on the 11th, but that is too late for the Saturday 11th Herald, and the Sun-Herald on Sunday does not give rainfall. Sadly this rain did not penetrate very far inland where it is needed.
The rain faded away on subsequent days but returned with some good steady rain on the night of Wednesday 15th which yielded around 20mm at Macquarie and over 30mm at North Pymble. Another good rain-fall occurred on Friday afternoon 15th around Pymble, Gordon, but only a small amount fell at Macquarie.
More rain came on Monday 20th, and late on Tuesday 21st, nice steady rain that gardeners and farmers like, and this time it was spreading inland to everyone's delight. Well not everybody, because it got much heavier on Wednesday 22nd and that was a Graduation Day and the rain settled in pools on the Front Lawn. The rain continued through night and all day Thursday 23rd, another Graduation Day, and by this time the whole Campus was a quagmire. Registrations for Thursday 23rd and Friday 24th were typically 30 to 40mm for each day, and a little more at Turramurra. The rain eased on Friday and that Graduation Day was a little more comfortable. A table of rainfall registrations is given :-
