UVic President David Strong greets some of the 600 international students attending UVic this year at a reception he hosted in their honour at the Halpern Centre for Graduate Students March 13. The reception gives UVic's senior administrators and deans the opportunity to meet the students who come to the University from 70 different countries. This year, international enrolment is evenly split between undergraduate and graduate students. Nearly half the students come from the four countries of Hong Kong, People's Republic of China, the USA and Japan but other countries such as Algeria, Croatia, Nepal, Peru and Yeman are also represented in UVic's international student population.

Cruelty to currency punished by pie
Surrounded by members of the mysterious Order of Pi
(aka members of the Engineering Students Society) Vice-President Finance
and Operations Dr. Don Rowlatt is administered the supreme punishment
for his crimes of "excessive cruelty to currency" by "penny pinching
and dollar stretching." It was all part of Engineering Week and the annual
"Cream-Pie- A-Friend-For -Charity" event. The $100 price tag on
Rowlatt's pie, along with all money raised during the event, went to the
engineering students' charities-the Neil Squire Foundation and the
Queen Alexandra Hospital for Children. The Order of Pi raised
more than $2,000.
