Core stability can be trained from a very simple level (as the above exercise demonstrates) that would be sufficient for those of you who plan to walk the distance, to a more complex level of exercises suitable for the runners.
North Ryde Physiotherapy (x7999) can assess your core stability and give you a program of exercises to suit your level of activity. Combine this with good flexibility and some fitness training and the City-to-Surf should be a breeze!
You can also come and get your Stretching Guide of suitable stretches from Physiotherapy at the Gym.

VOLUNTEERS WANTED FOR RESEARCH
I am carrying out some exploratory research into lawyer/client relationships as part of my master degree in communication management at the University of Technology, Sydney.
I would like to talk to anyone who has had dealings with a lawyer/solicitor either good or bad over the last five years. The type of matter is not important and may have been anything from buying or selling a home or business, a deceased estate, making a will, a debt, a court appearance or a dispute with a neighbour. I am particularly interested in the interpersonal aspects rather than the technical advice given and the outcome achieved.
About half an hour of discussion and completion of a short questionnaire will be involved. The interview will be entirely confidential and will be at a time to suit you during July or August.
If you can help, please contact me via e-mail: pmorgan@law.mq.edu.au, or telephone me at the School of Law on x7100.

REGISTER OF SENIOR WOMEN
The President of the Australian Vice-Chancellors' Committee (AVCC), Professor Fay Gale, has said that she hopes the latest release of the AVCC's Register of Senior University Women will increase the pressure on Universities to increase the number of women in their senior ranks.
The third edition of the Register was released in June, according to an AVCC media release. The Register, which was first released in 1995, has been designed to improve the representation of women in policy and decision-making. It is also meant as a resource book for government, business and the media to draw on the experience and expertise of senior women in the higher education sector. The latest edition of the Register contains contact information on over 2375 senior female university professionals. The Register is available on the AVCC website at http://www.avcc.edu.au/avcc/obs/rsuw.htm. Access to the electronic version will enable organisations to select and sort the latest version of the data according to a range of different criteria.
Professor Gale, President of the AVCC, said the AVCC Register of Senior University Women is another illustration of the serous intent on the part of universities to overcome the problems of under-representation of women in higher education, Government and business. The release of this information should encourage all sectors to utilise the enormous experience of university women when making appointments to committees, advisory panels and other influential positions.
In the second half of this year there will be 6 out of 37 Vice-Chancellors who are women. Macquarie's Vice-Chancellor, Professor Di Yerbury, was Australia's first female Vice-Chancellor.

LETTERS
Dear Editor,
Watch your bicycles
I have a tale of warning to staff who ride bicycles to the campus. A couple of weeks ago my bicycle was stolen from its location, secured as normal with its regular steel cable. Amazingly the theft was in broad daylight and the parking spot was regularly in sight of staff.
While it is possible to securely lock the main components, and I would encourage all cyclists to do this, the minor components are still vulnerable. The best protection is to prevent access to the bike. This can be done by storing the bike in staff rooms, and I know this is quite common, but not always possible, convenient or appropriate. Alternatively to install "bike lockers" which stop the bike being seen as well as tampered with.
I am happy to hear from staff who think better bicycle security on campus is needed, those who park in offices or even those that don't cycle because their bikes cannot be securely stored. Maybe we can arrange better facilities.
In the meantime upgrade your locks and hope for the best!

Dear Editor,
As I labour over the teaching of my three courses (or "units", as if they are discrete, measurable chunks of information to be ticked off and forgotten) - and all the marking they generate - I wonder idly who was responsible for the excision of our Chaucerian tag from the University blazon. Can anyone confirm that it was a functionary who thought it misspelt? Or are we not so glad as before?
Ted Nixon, HPP
Ted: The Arms of the University have not been excised! They are still used for formal purposes and remain in the By-law (see p.2 of the current Calendar); but with the adoption of the new marketing logo and star in 1996, the Arms have perhaps become less visible. Ed.

Web-Based Teaching in Edinburgh Meteorology Department
Dr Charles Duncan, University of Edinburgh
Friday 11 July, 11.00am to 12.30pm in E6A 116
Dr Duncan will talk about two projects currently under way in Edinburgh: EuroMET, which aims to provide web-based training for universities and professional meteorologists throughout Europe, and the National Learning Network for Remote Sensing, which is producing web-based courses for all Scottish Universities using the Scottish Metropolitan Area Networks at 155 Mb/s. He will also refer to another project to provide meteorology training for air traffic controllers on CD-ROM for PCs to illustrate the differences in approach and trade-offs required when developing web-based platform-independent material.
Dr Duncan is a senior lecturer in the Department of Meteorology at the University of Edinburgh and is a former Education Secretary of the Royal Meteorological Society. He has been involved in computer-aided learning in meteorology for about 12 years and has acted as a consultant on the subject to the UK Met Office and WMO. He is currently chair of the CAL Working Group of SCHOTI (an organisation including all the training institutes of national meteorological services worldwide).
