Place:         The Ohio Legal Center, Room 115, 33 W. 11th Ave.
          (On the Ohio State University Campus)


Jan. 6  --"The Uses and Gratifications of Personal Telephone Networks"

            John Dimmick, Professor, Department of Communication

Professor Dimmick will present the results of his research on telephone usage 
and personal telephone networks. In two recent studies conducted in Ohio, Dr. 
Dimmick uncovered three factors in telephone gratifications: instrumentality, 
sociability and reassurance. He will discuss those findings as well as his 
development of a typology of personal telephone networks.

Jan. 20 -- "Training Employees for the Information Society: The European       
Approach"

            Lee Becker, Professor, Department of Journalism

The European Community is developing new approaches to education and training 
that will attempt to balance differences between the educational systems of EC 
nations. One of the Community's key concerns in the process is to ensure that 
the European workers of tomorrow are prepared for employment in an information 
and technology-based society.  Professor Becker will present the results of his
research into Europe's plans for addressing the problem.  The research was 
conducted  while Dr. Becker was in Germany as a Fulbright Scholar.

Jan. 27--"Direct Broadcast Satellite: Present and Future"

            Hank Lytle, Vice President-DBS, Continental Cablevision Inc.

Mr. Lytle will discuss the evolution and development of direct broadcast 
satellite and its potential for providing information, education and 
entertainment to rural areas.





Continental Cablevision is a partner in Primestar Partners, a consortium of 
cable companies that are experimenting with and test marketing direct broadcast
systems.  Mr. Lytle will discuss those tests and their implications for the 
future.


Admission to CAST Roundtables is free, and the public is welcome. No 
reservations are necessary. Parking is available in the parking garage just 
north of the Ohio Union
on N. High St. From the garage, walk south on High Street past the Union and 
the Law School, and turn right (west) onto 11th. The Ohio Legal Center will be 
on your left.

For more information, call Sue Brown at 292-8444 or Ann Hollifield at 292-0080.

We are recabling our machine room, and most of our facilities will be
unavailable until we put them all back together again (probably this
Friday, Dec 18).  In particular, osu-cis will be down, so our UUCP
contacts and anonymous UUCP users will be unable to connect to us.

Our DNS, mail and news servers will (hopefully) remain up, other than
brief periods of down time while we move them around.

Newsgroups: can.uucp,can.general,news.groups
From: sl@wimsey.bc.ca (Stuart Lynne)
Subject: Proposal for can.domain
Organization: Wimsey Information Services
Date: Sat, 19 Dec 1992 00:51:33 GMT
Followup-To: can.uucp

This is a proposal for a new newsgroup called can.domain.

Group Charter
=============

The can.domain newsgroup is intended to facilitate discussion of policies
and procedures relevant to registration under the .CA domain and the new
technologies that might impact the use of the name space and supporting
infrastructure.

The .CA Domain Registry Committee will have the opportunity to interact
with the Canadian USENET community to seek consensus on desireable and
technically feasible policies respecting the use of the .CA namespace.

The CA Domain Introductory materials and Application form will be
periodically posted to can.domain.  It is hoped that new .CA subdomain
registrations will be posted as they are approved.

Status: un-moderated
======

Procedural Matters
==================

Assuming a reasonable consensus, I will ask Ed Hew (in his capacity as
Canadian UUCP Map Coordinator and as the UUCP liason to .CA Registry)
to issue a newgroup control message to create can.domain in about one
week's time, in keeping with accepted practice within the "can" hierarchy.

A vegetarian is a person who does not eat animal flesh (including
beef, pork, chicken, fish, ect...).   A vegan goes beyond
this by also not eating eggs and dairy products.

I believe a better analogy is a vegetarian who eats fish (or other
flesh) now and then is like a person who takes a vow of celibacy
and only has sex now and then.

Protein deficiencies happen only when eating junk food or not eating sufficient
calories.

The huge waste of resources inherent in feeding grain to livestock is of
questionable practicality.

A lot depends on public opinion ... and a recent poll suggests that
60% of Brits think that Charles should become king whereas only 33%
believe that Diana should become Queen.  There is certainly precedence
for a divorced Charles to become king ... George IV was divorced.
Although this was before Queen Victoria made it clear that the
monarchy should set the moral tone for the nation.
