Howard Pawley to Be Invested

The Order of Manitoba is the highest honor the province bestows on one of its citizens.

The investiture ceremony is scheduled for July 13.
Bruce Mc Garvey Named
Fellow Of International Society
Of Electron Paramagnetic Resonance
Professor Emeritus in Chemistry Bruce McGarvey has received notice that he has been made a Fellow of the International Society of Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR). The award certificate will be presented to him at the meeting of the Symposium on Electron Spin Resonance, to be held in Boulder, Colorado July 31 to August 3.
EPR is used to study magnetic materials and molecules. EPR is a spectroscopy that uses techniques similar to those used in MRI imaging, but detects electron magnetic moments rather than nuclear magnetic moments. Dr. McGarvey uses EPR for basic research primarily in studying the bonding and other properties of transition metal compounds.

PEGASUS EMAIL SERVICE HAS FLOWN
The Help Desk would like to remind the faculty and staff that the email program Pegasus Mail has been discontinued on the Novell servers. These servers include Delta, Epsilon, Gamma, Phi, Theta and Zeta.
Faculty and staff are urged to review their email addresses in their online address book, on their business cards and any other places to make sure that they do not include their Novell server name (eg. userid@gamma.uwindsor.ca.). Email addresses containing the Novell server name will soon have problems sending and receiving their email.
The correct format for the university email is: userid@uwindsor.ca. Whether users are sending mail by the SGI (Pine) or the Lotus Notes email system, all incoming email addressed in this way will reach its destination.
