CDfTlPUTEPI CDM1EP. :by foobar kludge KLUDGE AWARD - It is with chagrin and sorrow that Foobar is obligated to present the Kludge award. The definition of a kludge is an item of disgust, a poorly prepared appendage, a polluting corruption of original intent. Unfortunately there is no other way to describe the recently mounted banners within the lab rooms. There was an extended effort by those involved in the design and construction of the new labs to develop an area inviting to work . pleasing to the eye and effective in learning. Someone has taken on to pollute and destroy the environment by mounting a 10 foot long computer printer-produced banners telling people to restrict the amount of time spent at the terminal during busy periods. FOOBAR has no argument with the fact that the users could and should make more effective use of terminal time. It is the gutter level manner in which the problem was approached that is being challenged. Hopefully Foobar can bring you a happy conclusion to this demoralizing and sad tale. And on the brighter side : overheard in the cafeteria) If I REMODIFY this program one more time it has to work. FOOBAR AWARD - To the individual who discovered that the family was proud owners of a female dog and female cat, after visiting the vet. Not enough time was spent on the uncle's farm as a child. Why is it that students are treated as second hand again? Enough of the recycled paper. Of course we are referring to that wide stuff dumped into the lab room terminals a while ago. Doesn't fit into folders for hand in. Doesn't print two consecutive pages without jamming. And page breaks every ten. If computer services wishes to conserve maybe the best place to start would be within their own ranks. And if it ain't good enough for the staff it ain't good enough for the students. THElLfBLUE Lesson 19 "Canada's Beer Bottle" Ever wonder about our stubby, brown beer bottle? Well, the bottle is brown because that colour filters out sunlight which can cause beer to go flat. And it's stubby, because early in the sixties, packagers discovered that a compact bottle was easier to handle, and took up less room in a beer case. It also saved everybody money. So in 1962, the uniform industry beer bottle made its debut in Canada. Altogether, there are almost 100 million bottles circulating through the entire system. Each one makes about four trips a year and averages four to five year's service before it's retired and sent back to the glass factory. Anyway you look at it, that's quite a career. So next time you think our Canadian beer bottle might look a little homely, just remember that it wasn't built for beauty. It was built to last And isn't that what really matters when you're out there making the rounds?
