COMPUTING FOR NEXT CENTURY:
THE YEAR 2000 PROBLEM

The Year 2000 or Millennium Problem is a potential problem with computers and any equipment that uses similar components during the changeover from the 20th to the 21^st century. It comes about from the way dates are treated in computers, and the cost of fixing the problem has been estimated to be as high as $812 billion on a world-wide basis.

Within the University, planning has already commenced. The Office of Computing Services formed a Task Force in July 1996, and other areas have also been active.

The NSW State Government, through the Department of Public Works and Services (DPWS), has taken the initiative on a state-wide basis, and will develop Year 2000 guidelines and standards for NSW whole-of-government use. It will

• Require all Government agencies to develop formal year 2000 strategies, including non-compliance contingency strategies;
• Establish monitoring and reporting mechanisms for Government agencies' Year 2000 compliance projects;
• Conduct a pervasive NSW statewide educational program to ensure that all small and medium enterprises are aware of the potential impact on their businesses, and provide assistance in the way of material and advice;
• Host, maintain the currency of information on, and actively market the Australian Government's Year 2000 web site: WWW.Y2K.GOV.AU;
• Research extensively through professional global research companies and Year 2000 web sites to assist in problem identification and solutions, and disseminate this information through the Australian Government web site, forums, and newsletters;
• Invite via tenders, the NSW Information Technology industry to register with DPWS details of services and competencies in the area of Year 2000 preparation, so that DPWS can facilitate development of capacity to meet the impending demand.

For further information from the DPWS, send an e-mail to Year2000@dpws.nsw.gov.au.

WEATHER AT MACQUARIE for JULY 1997

from Roger T Nurse, Senior Observer, School of Earth Sciences
MARSFIELD (Macquarie University No. 1) On Campus, Square F9

Note: Mean values for temperature and rainfall are from this station for 25 years from 1971 to 1995.

RAINFALL (mm)(24hrs to 09:00)

Total Rain for Month 98.6 on 10 days rather wet
Wettest Day (24hrs to 09:00) 36.6 on 14
Average for JUL (25yrs) 53.0 on 7.8 days
Total for 07 Months so far 610.2 on 73 days very depleted
Average for 07 Months (25yrs) 777.4 on 79.5 days
Annual Average Rainfall (25y) 1142.8 on 129.9 days

SUMMARY

The month was wetter than average with most rain in the first part of the month giving cool days and cold nights. Fine weather in the second half led to mild days but much colder nights. Two warm days occurred late in the month with maximums of 20.9 on 25th, and 20.0 on 27th. The early signs of Spring are the longer days, higher path of the sun, the wattle blossom, and the magpie who lives near the student housing has started attacking me again.

MARSFIELD (Macquarie University No. 2) On the Playing Fields

Note: Temperature and Rainfall means at this station are being compared with the 25 year mean from MU No.1.

SUMMARY

Macquarie No. 2 was cooler than No.1 with similar rainfall. The terrestrial(grass) minimum fell below zero on 13 nights.

MUSEC EARLY SCHOOL PROGRAM AVAILABLE

Applications are welcome for children with and without disabilities for the Special Education Centre's 1998 Early School Program. This is an inclusive education program for children aged 4 to 6 years in their year before they commence school. It aims to prepare children for entry to school. It caters for up to 20 children per day including 12 children with average or advanced development and 8 children with a disability or developmental delay.

The program operates during school terms from 9.15am to 3.00pm. Children with disabilities attend 5 days/week. Children without disabilities attend 2, 3 or 5 days/week. The program is staffed by highly qualified teaching and therapy staff.

Each child has an individualised program based on an assessment of his or her developmental skills, with opportunities to participate in:

• programs to facilitate development across all developmental domains in particular social and cognitive development
• developmentally appropriate play activities
• early academic programs focusing on reading, numeracy and writing skills
• a transition program to prepare for transition to school
• small group, large group and individual teaching experiences

Parents are encouraged to participate in the program and to attend formal and informal discussions and workshops.

Preliminary research into the effects of the program on both children with disabilities and without disabilities indicates advantages for all children. Most of the children with disabilities have successfully enrolled in mainstream classes. The children without disabilities have had the opportunity to participate in programs not readily available in preschools, and parents and teachers have reported successful experiences in the first years of school and greater acceptance of differences. You may visit the Early School Program on Wednesday 3 September 9.30am. Please phone x8691 to book your visit.

For information about the Centre please contact Sharyn Gilkes, Educational Programs Office, MUSEC, on phone x8695, fax: x8254.

EEO in the Workplace
Date: Tuesday 9 September (Rescheduled from 7 August )
Time: 9.30am to 1.00pm
Venue: E6A 116
Number of participants: 20
Presented by: Sarah Levin, Equal Employment Opportunity Officer

Staff members who believe that EEO is only for the benefit of women, people of Aboriginal descent or people whose first language was not English, will find that this workshop addresses the needs of all staff. It will be especially helpful to those who are responsible for the management of other staff and enlighten those who are uncertain of their rights and responsibilities under anti-discrimination legislation.

EEO in the Workplace is about a set of principles, backed by legislation, which aims at fair workplace practices and giving all staff opportunities to be selected, trained and promoted on the basis of merit. How do we do this? At the moment, it may seem to some that "a fair go" is less important than "cost effectiveness" and that social justice has taken a back seat to economic rationalism. Participants in this workshop will learn about the practical issues and outcomes of EEO management in the workplace.

Bookings for this workshop can be made with CHEPD on x9721.

CHEPD Workshop Series
The Role of Technology in Learning and Teaching

CHEPD is offering an integrated series of four workshops on Mondays in September and October around the theme of using technology to enhance teaching and learning.

Places are limited to 20, so make sure you book early. Preference will be given to those who book for the whole series.

Details can be found in the CHEPD Professional Development Program Booklet which has been distributed to all staff. Bookings can be made on the form in the Program Booklet, or on x9721. Further information from Moya Adams x8446.
