UNIVERSITY ENCOURAGEMENT TO RETIREES' RESEARCH
(continued from page one)
for continued research. Such encouragement, said Romanow, might include:
1) The right to use a Univ. mail address. This allows a retiree to keep in touch with his/her former colleagues much more easily than does a home address, he said. Some gov't agencies will mail updates and circulars only to univ. depts.
2) Postal privileges. While there is an element of cost involved here, said Romanow, what is important to the retiree is the simple convenience of dropping mail off at the campus post office or a department's "out" box.
3) Romanow made a similar case for FAX usage.
4) The Social Science and Humanities Research Council considers that retirees continue to be eligible for grants, but only as long as their grants are managed by a University grants officer, since SSHRC grants are grants to an institution. Without the University link, retirees are cut off from such funding agencies.
5) In some cases, secretarial help might be justified. Romanow stressed, however, that retirees would not expect priority status in such instance.
These suggestions for the formation of some policy of encouragement to retirees doing research, were put to the Univ by the
Executive some months ago. To date, no reaction has been received. The Executive expects to renew the suggestions in the
near future.
ENTERTAINMENT COMMITTEE PLANNING
(continued from page one)
received strong support from the membership to continue to plan such activites.
The Committee consists of John LaGaipa, Chair, Bill Libby and Carl Querbach.
They also found strong support for such activities as the Windsor Symphony, the Michigan Opera, the Stratford or Shaw Festivals. Many expressed interest in a summer picnic, and in group dinners at area restaurants. John LaGaipa, Committee Chair, provided a questionnaire, which is attached to this issue at page 6. From it he hopes to get a better view of the kinds of activity members want.
If you would like to take part in any of these activities, please take a few minutes to fill in the questionnaire and return it to
John LaGaipa or call him at the number shown.
OUR RETIREES' ASSOCIATION LOOKS LIKE ONTARIO'S FIRST
Judging only from enquiries we have made, and from some made to us, it appears likely that the Retirees' Association at Windsor was the first to be formed in Ontario. Even so, it seems certain that others will not be far behind as retirements increase vastly in number in coming years. We're checking this out, and hope to report on it next time round.
