1May1991Computer virus war goes overseas
International experts predict thousands of major computer virus types could exist by the end of this year. QUT Information Security Research Centre director Professor Bill Caelli said this was the disturb- ing reality behind the release of the first catalogue of known computer viruses.
It includes details of 147 viruses and three "Trojans"- a Trojan Horse is a code put into a computer to do a spe- cific job but it also has a hidden func- tion.
earlier this year with the University of Hamburg's Virus Test Centre was re- sponsible for QUT's distribution in- volvement.
Although informal, the link is es- sential for exchange of research in- formation.
Copies of the catalogue are being distributed to the group's subscribers
and other interested organisations. "It is all part of the ISRC becoming more well-recognised internationally,"
Professor Caelli said.
Published by the University of Hamburg in Germany, the catalogue is being distributed throughout Australia by the ISRC's Computer Virus Infor- mation Group.
Professor Caelli said the informa- tion would be vital to government, the banking and finance industry, and any small business using personal com- puters for accounting.
"Without this kind of international cooperation, people in Australia would not normally have access to this kind of document."
He said an informal link established

Robotic hand success
Australian industry could take a leaf from the book of QUT electronic engineering lecturer Mr Paul Wilson to boost the nation's export performance.
A robot "hand" or gripper designed by Mr Wilson has reached prototype stage and already there are potential buyers in the United Kingdom and Europe for the fin- ished product.
The prototype has just been sent to an industrial robot manufacturer in Cambridge in the United Kingdom for final appraisal.
During PEP (Professional Experience Program) leave last year Mr Wilson, who lecturers in robotics, visited the manufacturer who mentioned that he needed a par- allel-opening gripper for a particular industrial robot.
"By chance I had access to a design that could be modified to their requirements," he explained.
The finished product has a spring closure action and a
size and gripping action that meets requirements.
It will make its first public appearance in May at the Automan Exhibition in Birmingham.
To manufacture the gripper Mr Wilson approached local company Howie Engineering, of Woolloongabba.
Mr Wilson believes the resulting Australian designed and made product typifies the export opportunities that exist for Australia in the medium-range technological area.
"Australian industry is not taking advantage of clear commercial opportunities that exist," he said. "Not only do they exist, they are not too hard to find.
"An added benefit of participation in such a venture is the spin-offs it may have for other business," said Mr Wilson.
"A manufacturer can get a reputation for work in a certain area and further orders flow from there."

The catalogue is the result of more than 12 months' work by the Virus Test Centre at the University of Hamburg.
Earlier this year, the centre started to receive reports of more than 20 new computer viruses every week.
To date, there are about 420 viruses known to researchers.

Computer security courses translated for Thailand
QUT computer security courses will be translated into Thai due to a new cooperative agreement within the In- formation Security Research Centre.
Assistant Professor Wichan Lertwipatrakul is on a five-month working visit to the centre as part of the Federal Government Cooperation South East Asia scheme.
It is designed to encourage Austral- ian education and research links with Asian countries.
A lecturer at Chulalongkorn Uni- versity in Bangkok, Professor Lertwipatrakul will translate the Graduate Certificate in Information Technology (Data Security)1Rto Thai, and eriliance it forthat country· s needs.
He will also look at ways of adapt- ing the course to Thailand's telecom- munication and computing environ- ment.
ISRC director Professor Bill Caelli said the educational program would be an ongoing arrangement. It would be extended to embrace Thailand's business and government needs.

The scheme operates under a
$30 000 annual Federal Government grant to QUT on behalf of Chulalongkorn University.

Course bridges city design and planning
QUT has become the first Austral- ian university to award masters degrees in urban design. The first four recipi- ents of QUT's Masters in Urban De- sign program graduated last month.
In 1987 QUT became the first in Australia to introduce such a course, coordinator Mr Gordon Holden said.
He said the graduation of the first four masters students was a timely re- minder of the urgent issue of sustain- able urban development.
"Cities cannot be allowed to grow like cancers across the landscape," Mr Holden said.
"Increasingly cities are realising that the successful cities of the future will be those where people feel comfortable - where there is ease of access, fa- cilities and a quality of life."
Residence diversification designed imaginatively on smaller allotments was the direction for the future.
Mr Holden said the three-year part- time course linked the skills of the design and planning professions.
"What makes our course so special is that we are not saying urban design is the domain of the traditional design professions," he said.
"For example, in about two-thirds of our local authorities in Australia, the senior planning officer is usually a civil engineer.
"This course is an ideal way for people in various fields to gain better skills in urban design."
People from a number of profes- sional backgrounds, including sur- veying, economics and sociology, as well as architecture, planning, land- scape architecture and engineering could be accepted into the course.
This year's four masters graduates each prepared a research study as part of final assessment. Ms Mary Ganis researched the concept of an "urban village" using Fortitude Valley as a case study. (See feature story page 5).
Former QUT architect Mr Ross Meakin studied the design of QUT's Gardens Point campus. Planner Mr Gavin Hubley explored the concept of the "intentional city" using Toowoomba.
Mr Greg Martoo, who is the town planner for Widgee Shire, researched urban design guidelines for Gympie.

Crucial time for leadership
Following amalgamation a year ago, QUT has been through a huge re- structuring unprecedented in Australia. In this process, the experts tell us that men and women of the organisntion go through three phases of adjust- ment- initial confusion, a high energy period when a great deal of lobbying occurs, and then a period of creating new teams.
We have reached this final phase in which staff in their new environment are developing new values and new relationships as members of the new university. At the same time, many still are grieving old relationships and values. Over the next few months heads of schools and administrative areas will need to demonstrate their leadership and counselling skills in handling staff sensitively, and in focussing at- tention on planning for the future.
The planning process for 1992 and beyond has begun with the circula- tion last week of a contextual paper raising a number of major issues on which I would like feedback from all areas of the university before pre- paring guidelines for 1992 action plans.

Issues feedback sought for QUT long-t~rm plan
By the year 2000, Vice-Chancellor Professor Dennis Gibson wants QUT to rank as Australia's top teaching university, Australia's top university in terms of graduate employability and be one of the top 10 research univer- sities.
His long-term desired position for the university was preamble to a paper titled QUT 1996 - a context and is- sues paper presented to senior staff on 22 April.
The paper signals the beginning of the process for drawing up a five-year plan and seeks feedback on issues likely to affect QUT's future.
Professor Gibson said universities now had more flexibility to set their own directions.
Funds for new activities and re- search were won, increasingly, through a competitive process.
He said QUT had strong opportuni- ties for growth and development in its first five years.
This would be concentrated on the northern axis from Brisbane city cen- tre to the Sunshine coast, responding to a growing population and rising university education expectations.
Kelvin Grove campus in particular, with its proximity to the city centre, had potential for major development in the 1990s.
The QUT enrolment would increase by 4.25 percent per annum over the next five years to 20 900 equivalent full-time students in 1996, including five percent (currently three percent) self-funded overseas students.
Access would be improved for women into non-traditional areas and into master and PhD programs, for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island- ers, for students from socio-economi- cally disadvantaged backgrounds, and for students with disabilities.
New courses would include a ge- neric arts degree, a master degree in social science, expanded postgraduate research law programs and a degree in aerospace engineering. A rationalisa- tion, however, of the more than 100 courses would also be necessary.
Professor Gibson said the single factor which had come through the one-hundred-year history of QUT's predecessors to set it apart from more traditional universities was the strong professional links which underpinned courses.
"QUT graduates are some of the most employable in Australia," he said.
A new course accreditation and unit review system would contribute to course and teaching quality.
On research, he said QUT had a low base of government funded research and needed to double this every year to cope with Commonwealth plans for a "level playing field" by 1994.

Queensland Governor Sir Walter Campbell received the award of Doc- tor of the University from QUT Chancellor Mr Vic Pullar at the 18 April Law/Arts graduation ceremony held at the Queensland Performing Arts Complex.
The honorary doctorate was only the second awarded by Council since QUT became a university in 1989. Mr Pullar
said the award recognised the contri- bution made by Sir Walter to Queensland, to the law and to higher education.
A former Chief Justice of Queens- land, Sir Walter became Governor of Queensland in 1985. He was a member of the University of Queensland Sen- ate from 1963 to 1985, the latter nine years as Chancellor.

Amalgamation one year on
This month marks the first aniversary of the amalgamation between QUT and Brisbane College of Advanced Education. Inside QUT spoke to students from the Gardens Point and Kelvin Grove campuses to find out how amalgamation affected them.
Noel McCombe, 26, Graduate Di- ploma Landscape Architecture, Gardens Point Campus:
"Amalagamation is not really rel- evant to education - it's all bureauc- racy and administration. You are just putting another level between the campuses rather than joining them.
"No extra resources have gone into education. It seems to be a bureau- cratic convenience not an education facility.
"It has not made any more money available for education. Even our li- brary hasn't got any more resources."
Matthew Stephenson, 17, Bach- elor of Arts (Drama) Kelvin Grove Campus:
"Even though Kelvin Grove has amalgamated with QUT it's still seen in the eyes of a lot of people, espe- cially those at Gardens Point, as only a college. I think it will be a long time before they accept us as a legitimate wing ofQUT.
"The amalgamation with QUT has done a lot for our reputation in the public sector. If you say you're study- ing at QUT it makes much more impact than saying I study at BCAE."
Cheryl Clyde, 21, Bachelor of Education (English), Kelvin Grove Campus:
"I think the amalgamation has had its advantages and disadvantages but I haven't really noticed that much of a difference.
"I think its been pretty much in name only and I haven't noticed many changes or benefits.
"I speak to people and they still think of Kelvin Grove as a teachers college or as Brisbane College of Advanced Education."
Leila McKinnon, 18, Bachelor of Business (Film Television and Jour- nalism), Gardens Point:
"I wasn't very pleased with the amalgamation at first because I thought it would bring Gardens Point down to amalgamate with the BCAE. Maybe not for me in communication, but I think the business students doing ac- countancy are most affected.
"Similar courses on the other cam- puses are not seen as the same quality, do not require the same entry score and do not have the reputation of a Gardens Point degree.
"I also don't think it's going to im- prove the quality of the courses by expanding the university."
Props all in a day's work
Ms Gillian Nicholas at work.
Creating life-sized crocodiles for THAT movie or making sure Dame Joan Sutherland had the right fan for an opera role has been all part of a day's work for QUT lecturer in theatre technique, Ms Gillian Nicholas.
Ms Nicholas began her theatrical career at the old Twelfth Night Theatre at Bowen Hills, studying drama under Bill Pepper who later taught at NIDA. She worked for five years with the Australian Opera, also as a freelance scenic artist and props master.
During 16 years in the world of stage and screen sets, props and wardrobes, Ms Nicholas has worked on such famous movies as Crocodile Dundee Two and the operas Les Hugenots, Lucia di Lamermoor and The Merry Widow. Currently, she is putting her expertise to good use helping with stage scenery for the Opera School production of the Mozart opera La Finta Guardinera which will be performed at the Conservatorium of Music next month as part of Queensland's first Biennial Festival.
Other productions she has worked on include the television mini-series, Nellie Melba and Fields of Fire.
Theatre productions include the hit musical Cats for which she had to hand paint with dyes costumes for all the cat characters.
. "Every character had two costumes and there were about 20 characters altogether," she estimated.
"There were also a number of amalgamations al- lowing for emergency situations when, for example, an actor might be sick."
suit casinos: professor
The historic Treasury and Lands Administration buildings would serve Brisbane better as much needed additional space for QUT rather th1n as a casino says Planning and Landscape Architecture School head, Associate Professor Phil Heywood.
He said the use of the buildings would be crucial to determining the future character and image of Bris-
bane's city centre, not only for tourists
but also for the people of Brisbane.
To use the buildings as a casino would fly in the face of the widely- recognised need for Australia to tum from trying to be the "lucky" country to working hard to become the "clever"
country.
Professor Heywood said the Gov- ernment was to be congratulated for recognising that such beautiful build- ings - which represent an important part of the city's history and cultural heritage - should be preserved and recycled.
It was also to be congratulated for looking for a use that was current and relevant.
"But the obsession with gambling in Australia, stretching from the humblest poker machine operator to the most powerful international busi- nessman, has done more to damage Australian life and the future of our economy than anything else in the 80s," he said.
"We should do nothing more to fuel this deadly obsession of getting something for nothing.
"Instead we should be putting at the centre of our cities activities and functions which will help create our future."
Professor Heywood said expanding the "very constricted" QUT campus would link the role of the university to the life of the city and provide easy public access to its functions.
"It would be a symbolic, practical use," he said.
"And in the long term it would build

~=::::___ '"i~.~- wA student drama this month aims to explore the experiences of young sol- diers during the Vietnam War.
Just Another Day, written by Richard Dinnen and Andrew Newton, will focus on the characters John and Joker, and their personal perceptions of the violent reality around them.
More than 400 Australian service people, many of them conscripts, died during the Vietnam war.
The play is part of third-year as- sessment within the Bachelor of Arts (Drama) course.
Combining film, video and special effects it has been described as "a challenging new style of theatre".
A cast of 15 actors has been selected from the first- and second-year acting strand of the course.
It will be performed 9-11 May at 6pm and 8.30pm each night at the Woodward Theatre, Kelvin Grove campus.
Tickets will be $3 for adults and $2 concessional.

QUT sends 300 to Uni Games at Toowoomba
QUT will send a team of 300 to compete in the University Games in Toowoomba this weekend.
The games, to be held at the Uni- versity College of Southern Queensland, will cover 15 sports.
Sport and Recreation manager Mr Paul Brooks said all universities in Queensland and Northern New South Wales would take part.
"It's a serious sporting competi- tion but it's still social," he said.
"Sport all day and dance all night.
"I think QUT's chances are good.
We'll certainly look like a QUT team all in blue and white."
He was referring to uniforms which have been designed for the QUT team.
Mr Brooks said competitors would be accommodated in a tent city at UCSQ.
The 15 sports are rugby league and union, touch football, soccer, basketball, volleyball, hockey, biathlon, squash, tennis, softball, netball, karate, table tennis and golf.
The top three universities from the northern conference will com- pete in the national university games in Canberra in October.

Exports success requires market
culture knowledge
Australia's hopes of an export-led recovery will be dashed unless our business people learn to communicate effectively wifli potential mferna- tional customers. Communication should involve not only speaking the languages but gaining a full understanding of the cultures and lifestyles of target markets.
This warning was sounded by the acting head of QUT's School of Eco- nomics and Public Policy,Associate Professor Peter Cassidy.
"Unless you truly understand the culture of a market- and you need the language to do this- many of the niche areas offered by that market will go unrecognised," he said.
Only this total approach could tap the true export potential of such mar- kets as Japan, China, south-east Asia and Europe. Professor Cassidy ex- pressed confidence that QUT would soofibe turning out Australia's best international business graduates.
The new Bachelor of Business (In- ternational Business), projected to be fully operational next year, is designed to produce graduates who have a thor- ough grasp of business practice, and a full understanding of the language and culture of a country targeted as an export market.
Professor Cassidy said the QUT course was unique at undergraduate level in Australia because it did not overlook the vast potential of the Eu- ropean market.
"Courses offered by other tertiary
Professor Peter Cassidy
institutions focus on business and Asian studies," he said.
"Europe has been neglected yet, after 1992, Europe will be the financial and economic powerhouse of the world."
Components of the business side of the degree will include economics, finance and marketing. Japanese, Chinese (Mandarin) and Indonesian components already are being offered.
German and French will be available from next year.
Other language choices may follow, depending on the demand. Initially language teaching facilities at other institutions will be used on a coop- erative basis with the eventual goal of teaching the whole course at Gardens Point campus.
Student and academic staff ex- changes with overseas tertiary insti- tutions are likely. Professor Cassidy also hopes to encourage students to spend time in the country of their choice to arrive at an understanding of the culture.
He envisaged Australian business houses with overseas operations as likely employers of graduates.

Dr Cherrell Hirst was left a little in the dark - literally - at last month's graduation ceremony for Built Environment and Engineer- ing. While making an official address on behalf of QUT Council, the lights of the Performing Arts Complex concert hall died, plunging the stage and audience into darkness. After a momentary pause and a baffled laugh, Dr Hirst admirably continued her speech. The lighting was quickly restored to its former glory.

Children needed for
ltext size research
QUT staff are being asked to vol- unteer their children to science.
Optometry senior lecturer Ms Jan Lovie-Kitchen hopes to find at least 20 Year 3 children for a fourth-year student research project.
The project aims to determine the optimum print size to suit children around eight years old.
Research will be carried out by Nelson Oliver and twins Michelle and Wendy Leighton, all fourth-year students.
Ms Lovie-Kitchen said previous research indicated that reading speed was maximised by a larger print size.
"But previous studies have not been very well controlled and there is no hard data to support exactly what size is the most appropriate,"
she said.
Research by Nelson Oliver dur- ing last year's Christmas holidays led to the project. He was one of the first to receive a scholarship through the QUT Centre for Eye Research.
Tests, due to start this month, will take about an hour with regular breaks.
Children will be asked to sit with their chins supported on a rest. They will read aloud as sentences appro- priate for their age are scrolled in front of them.
Scrolling speeds will be increased until the child is no longer able to read accurately. About 10 different print sizes will be used.
Children will receive a sight and reading examination prior to the test. Anyone willing to volunteer their children can contact Ms Jan Lovie-Kitchin on 864 2624.
Myanma engineers study maintenance
Nine senior mechanical engineers from Asia recently completed a short course in maintenance management at QUT. The engineers, from Myanma, formerly Burma, took part in a course organised by Professor David Sherwin for the Snowy Mountains Engineer- ing Corporation.
Professor Sherwin is Mount lsa Mines professor of maintenance engi- neering and the Director of the Terotechnology Centre. The Snowy Mountains Engineering Corporation was represented on the course by Mr Harleigh Luscombe.
The visiting engineers had particu- lar interests in water resources but Professor Sherwin said that the prin- ciples of maintenance management
varied little regardless of the industry.
Mr Luscombe said the major focus of the course was on earth moving equipment associated with the con- struction of irrigation projects.
Assisting Professor Sherwin were Associate Professor Will Scott and Senior Lecturer Mr Bob Nicol.

Parents urged t o help with education policy
In successful education every person in the community is a child's teacher, says QUT lecturer in Early Childhood Studies, Ms Di Nailon. She was commenting on a recent Sydney survey that showing that parents wanted schools to give their children self-confidence and the ability to think for themselves.
Balance and self-discipline were favored over academic and sporting skills by more than 1000 parents who responded to the survey in 34 Sydney Catholic schools.
Ms Nailon said the survey result did not surprise her. It reflected that what parents wanted was to have their chil- dren deal with life.
"That's the very first skill that par- ents want for their children," she said.
"Early childhood studies has a very strong commitment to working with parents. We have whole subjects that are simply focussed on that and we give our students skills in communi- cating with parents."
Parents now were encouraged to help in determining policies for schools, kindergartens and child care centres.
"Policy-making is seen as a realm that everybody has to contribute to,"
Ms Nailon said.
It was not only parents that should be involved but also the wider com- munity. A local community could provide input into a school leading to older children getting the beginnings of specific job training based on com- munity needs.
She explained: "That's the approach
we're taking with our would-be teach- ers. Whether or not the teachers have the confidence to practise it is another thing."
Students doing practical work ex- perience felt supported but when they began a teaching career "in the real world" many preferred to gain confi- dence in the first year, before allow- ing parents into their classrooms.
Ms Nailon said most students she dealt with were aiming at teaching in lower primary grades, kindergartens or child care centres. Parents meeting teachers who lacked confidence could form the view that all teachers were like that and fail to give teachers time to establish themselves before seeking parental cooperation.
"Parents who feel good about their own parenting skills will enter class- rooms," Ms Nailon said.
"They make it clear to teachers what they want but are prepared to work out ways of achieving it together.
"Their main aim is to see that their children learn the skills necessary to deal with life."
What some parents failed to under- stand was some of the "group dynam- ics aspects" of schooling that were different from the home situation.
Ms Di Nailon
At school, children were in an un- natural environment. What parents would like teachers to do was to help children meet the challenge of that environment.
Parents who were not competent, who might themselves have been badly brought up as children, frequently felt that they lacked the skills necessary for parenting and educating their own children. Generally, they believed teachers had the training. They were prepared to leave education almost totally to the teachers.
"Teachers have to handle all re- sponses - the authorative, confident parent, the unconfident parent and then the parent who is aggressive," Ms Nailon said. She described teaching as a "dilemma-filled occupation".
Self-directed learning text impresses US oublisher
A new book by QUT Academic
Staff Development Unit Director,
Associate Professor Philip Candy,
dealing with the "trendy" academic area of self-directed learning has been hailed as the definitive text on the subject.
Self-Direction for Lifelong Learn- ing has been published by leading American adult and higher education publishing house, Jossey-Bass, of San Francisco.
One of the very few non-American authors to be published by the com- pany, Professor Candy said self-di- rection in learning had attained some- thing of a cult status in the literature of adult education in recent years.
His book pulled together many of the strands from hundreds of other publications on the subject.
Although it was definitely not a
"how to" book it aimed to provide practical suggestions for enhancing self-direction as well as new directions for research and inquiry.
Academic scrutiny of the subject had probed its chicken-and-egg-like theoretical base.
It was the very essence of human knowledge and advancement.
"Obviously there was a self-directed Ieamer before the first teacher," said Professor Candy.
Academic professionals, however, now had a responsibility to provide techniques to help self-directed learn- ers.
"It's like the paradox of forcing people to be free," he said.
"Teaching people self-learning techniques is not defeating the purpose of being self-motivated. It's about re- ducing barriers to learning," he said.
Today's explosion of information made the skills even more important if
"democracy" in knowledge was to be achieved.
"The half-life of much technical knowledge is three to five years,"
Professor Candy explained.
"And in another three to five years half of the remaining half becomes redundant.
"What we really need to do is equip people with the skills of self-directed learning so when they come out of university they realise that their degree
Associate Professor Philip Candy is only a starting point.
"I would like to see all QUT lectur- ers build into their courses the skills for self-directed learning."
Research had focussed attention on the way in which people learned. New knowledge was processed in a "multi- layered" way.
"The learning process and the cir- cumstances which direct that learning are very complex and depend on all sorts of things, some very unpredict- able," he said.
"Factors such as the learner's view of the world and their current levels of knowledge play a role. Teachers need to take this into account. It's rather
f
unethical to throw people in at the deep end by expecting them to Jearn au- tonomously in an entirely new area.
"Educators would find the book of particular interest," Professor Candy said, adding that he hoped it would appeal to a wide cross-section of readers.
"In our rapidly changing world people need the skills to be able to Jearn on their own, otherwise they will be left behind."
"What's more, self-directed learn- ers tend to have more inquiring minds and, because of their broad interests, they contribute to the quality of life in the community."
Fortitude Valley future at crossroads
By Anne Patterson
Fortitude Valley, Brisbane's colorful, controversial inner-city commu- nity of diversity and multi-culture, stands at a crossroads. Cries to "clean up the sleaze" and inject new commercial vitality into the Valley have become louder - particularly since the Fitzgerald Commission of Inquiry probed the district's darker side of prostitution, drugs and crime.
Brisbane's new Lord Mayor, Alderman Jim Soorely, already has targeted the area as a top priority for redevelopment and rejuvenation.
But QUT Master in Urban Design graduate Ms Mary Ganis has warned that sweeping neighbourhood changes could be disastrous for local residents.
She shed light on a possible alternative - the development of an "urban village".
A QUT graduate architect, Ms Ganis worked with an architects' firm in the Valley. She began her masters part-time in 1989 and became a full-time student in 1990. She completed her dissertationin the second semester last year.
Residents of inner-city communi- ties must be involved if urban rede- velopment schemes are to lead to any real improvement of a neighbourhood.
But monolithic authorities, such as the Brisbane City Council, need to be re- structured drastically if grassroots community participation is to be en- couraged.
These are fundamental, but radical, suggestions researched by QUT Mas- ter in Urban Design graduate Ms Mary Ganis in her final dissertation (thesis).
A bold suggestion, perhaps, but an underlying principle vital to the con- cept of an urban village- a place where the people living in a community make their own decisions on the extent and direction of change.
Such an ambitious move would create smaller, more accessible local councils.
These would answer to the larger governing council but would effec- tively give the people a louder voice in controlling the destiny of their own living environments.
But the concept of an urban village does not hinge solely on a massive local government restructuring.
The urban village is a community process rather than an attractive form of medium density housing.
It seeks to accept, not push aside, the grim, darker realities of a com- munity. It also places a higher value on serving the community's needs rather than submitting to the percep- tions and expectations of external groups.
According to Ms Ganis, Fortitude Valley and its nearby support network in New Farm present an excellent op- portunity to explore the urban village process.
The area is at a redevelopment crossroads, it is an inner-city com- munity with a long-standing and di- verse background of Asian, Italian and Irish culture.
potamia and Egypt. It is seen as the next step along in the progression from folk village to city. Community de- velopment is at its heart.
It does not conflict with the concept of redevelopment, rather it indicates an alternative approach to the source, scale and pace of change.
Ms Ganis concedes that the road towards urban village living does not present the "quick fix" solution sought by local authorities wrestling with urban development dilemmas.
"It is guaranteed to be fraught with problems. However, the opportunity for relevant solutions to problems can only be sought through the local com- munity itself," she said.
Ms Ganis has noted that almost every 10 years the Valley, like many inner-city communities, has seen are- curring cycle of "bright, bold, new schemes" intended to inject new life into its commercial heart.
Ventures like China Town and the more recent McWhirters centre have failed, in her opinion, to bring lasting economic prosperity.
"In each case the local community was not involved, but was the recipi- ent of a brand new scheme," she said.
"Therefore the question is, if the attraction of large-scale economic re- development proves to be shortlived, will the redeveloped urban fabric be fit for the remaining community?
"If economic prosperity is to be seen
as a long-term prospect does this not mean that a regular market population from within has to be established and sustained?
"Ultimately, the local population is the sustainable source of economic prosperity, as long as the local popu- lation is viable."
According to Ms Ganis, the call to
"clean up the sleaze" in the Valley is based upon a redevelopment of the inner Valley largely for the benefit of an outside perception.

Ms Mary Ganis in the heart of Fortitude Valley She cites the example of Local
member for Springhill Alderman David Hinchliffe w)lo has publicly defin.ed tlie image of the Valley as a major problem- in particular the drug dependence clinic in Duncan Street.
But Ms Ganis argues that such a relocation would sever part of the sur- vival network for a particular subcul- ture.
"Need, proximity and social terri- tory are the rights of an existing community," she said.
"Aid Hinchliffe sees a balanced so- cial structure as a means of improving this image.
"This is a worthy intent. However, the way in which this balance is achieved should not be based upon the exclusion of the 'undesirable' mem-
hers, in favour of 'appropriate' groups.
"The impact of this redevelopment will seem positive, politically, possi- bly economically and perhaps visually.
"However, there is no room for the harsh realities of the disabled, aged, alcoholic, and disadvantaged ethnic groups in a redeveloped Fortitude Valley.
"Similarly, the ethnicity of sub- groups is compromised by the deter- minants of a comprehensive plan.
"The visual elements of ethnicity may be retained but assimilation into a planned, festive theme will dilute the reality of authentic, but perhaps incomprehensible, traditions."
The idea of a zoned sex industry area would have terrifying conse- quences for local residents, particu-
I
*
larly women.
"Because (the sex industry) is di- luted throughout pockets of the com- munity you can simply exclude those areas from your daily pattern if it threatens you," Ms Ganis said.
"But a sex industry zone gives you no choice to adjust your daily pattern to avoid threatening areas."
According toMs Ganis, democracy itself is the final hallmark of the urban village concept.
"The many support groups in the Valley-New Farm area have the ca- pacity and experience to create the voice that the Valley lacks," she said.
"If the weakest members of the community have no means to express their rights, then the validity of de- mocracy is threatened."
It is also a social and political "hot spot" with a Kings Cross reputation.
Along with its rich, almost thematic multi-cultural atmosphere, the Valley is also "home" to an entrenched net- work of homeless and underprivileged people.
Warwick's heritage documented
Accompanying this is a well-es- tablished welfare system, which is very much a part of the community's life- blood. This would be nearly impossi- ble to relocate-despite pressure from some would-be developers.
Ms Ganis argues that anyone hoping to develop an area like Fortitude Val- ley must accept the realities.
"Any attempt to brush aside or gloss over these issues is completely futile,"
she said.
"Fortitude Valley is a territory which has developed a social com- plexity which cannot be ignored.
"Rather, the acceptance of the ex- isting complexity can be a resource to establishing a positive urban identity."
Words like "revitalisation", ac- cording to her research, assume an neighbourhood is dead.
"But there are people living in areas like the Valley and so the potential for vitality exists," she said.
The urban village concept which emerged in the 1960s, seeks to trans- form a cluster of individuals into a cooperative, diverse, self-reliant community. Greenwich Village in New York is an example.
The concept has its roots in the ear- liest of human settlements like Meso-

Mr John Donnelly studies the unique buildings of Warwick.
Warwick's unique sandstone build- ings will become the vehicle for a lit- erary trip down memory lane after ar- chitecture lecturer, Mr John Donnelly, completes his research.
More than 40 buildings, some dating back to the 1860s, will be included in an illustrated book aimed to promote the town's tourist and business inter- ests through its historical and cultural heritage.
Mr Donnelly has been seconded to the Warwick City Council this semes- ter to complete the research.
His job is to trace the historical sto- ries of public buildings as well as churches, schools, businesses and residential homesteads.
The study is a consolidation and elaboration of 1989 student work which collected information on the town's police station, court house, town hall, post office, railway station and central school.
Mr Donnelly says the project has already become a challenging task because it spans structural, aesthetic and social perspectives.
"Warwick was the centre of a very rich squatting area in its early history and its original architects established a very prestigious character in their public buildings," Mr Donnelly said.
"The town is peculiar for the large number of sandstone buildings as op- posed to the timber and brick build- ings of many other centres around Queensland."
This is partly because of the avail- ability of sandstone in the area and the relatively cheap labour of the stone- masons at the time.
Mr Donnelly said many of the dis- trict's original homesteads had been demolished because they were con- sidered too difficult or too expensive to maintain in moving clay soils.
"The Glengallan homestead, a huge two-storey home built in 1867, now lies in ruins," he said.
"There have been several attempts to save it, but at present it stands aban- doned in the middle of a farmer's wheat field."
The work is being conducted in as- sociation with council officers, the Warwick Historical Society and the Warwick chapter of the National Trust.
The final publication will include architectural drawings, construction details, historical photographs, present-day illustrations and aerial shots of vanous sites. Mayor of War- wick, Alderman Stan Walsh, presented
$6000 toward the study to QUT at the Development Office last month. Page 5 INSIDE OUT, 1 May 1991

Engineer environ mentalist backs Tully hydro scheme
Scrapping North Queensland's tourist industry is the only real al- ternative to the proposed Tully Millstream hydro-electric scheme, says QUT electronics engineering lecturer, Mr Paul Wilson.
He describes the proposed power station and its accompanying dam as
"the best of a bad set of options".
Mr Wilson has looked at the scheme from both sides - as an electronics engineer and a committed environ- mentalist who spent four years as a National Parks and Wildlife Service ranger in the Chillagoe Caves National Parks.
While with the service he wrote a management plan for the caves and submitted a proposal to expand the national parks.
"It would be nice not to need the dam," he said, "but given the need for power in the region it is the best option.
Ironically white water rafters who use the streams that will be affected by the dam are among the tourists who have created a need for additional power."
He said an important point to make was that the new Tully scheme was actually making the existing Kareeya

hydro-electric power station more ef- ficient. He described the use of hydro power as an extremely efficient way of generating electricity with major environmental advantages. It was ex- tremely clean and non-polluting.
"A coal-fired power station, on the other hand, is filthy," he said. "It produces greenhouse gases and large quantities of ash."
It also used large quantities of wa- ter that needed to be chemically treated. The water was hot which pro- duced algae. To transport coal, rail- ways were needed and a means of dis- posing of coal ash had to be devised.
He said oil and gas turbine stations were equally dirty, produced green- house gases and used fossil fuels which were in limited supply. Alternative sources of wind, wave and solar power had been studied very carefully but there was no way they could supply the amount of power needed.
Roughly a third of all electricity went to produce hot water so solar hot water systems would lessen the de-
mand on the power station. Unfortu- nately solar power systems were ex- pensive to buy so it was unlikely their use would become widespread. More careful use of electric lights would also help but, because people were "ex- tremely careless", Mr Wilson was not optimistic about this option.
He said additional power generating capacity was needed in North Queensland to give security of supply.
Currently power came from south of Townsville. North Queensland was vulnerable to events such as cyclones knocking down power lines.
Sadly, 135 hectares of World Herit- age rainforest would be flooded for the scheme. But this would be offset by the Queensland Electricity Com- mission handing to the National Estate 440 hectares of rainforest previously threatened by logging.
Mr Wilson said the Tully Millstream project had come under more scrutiny than virtually any other project in Queensland. The conservation move- ment was to be congratulated for forc- ing the industry to study its options more carefully before projects went ahead.
Materials scientist presents results
Mr Lyle Kirkwood A QUT senior research fellow hasbeen selected as a guest plenary lec- turer at a major scientific conference to be held in Melbourne later this year.
Dr Charles Szilvassy was chosen on the basis of his work and outstanding results in the area of materials science.
His selection is the first Australian recognition of his work since he ar- rived at QUT from Hungary a year ago.
Other plenary lecturers at the con- ference will be two from the USA, three Japanese, four Germans and one each from the UK, Sweden, France and Canada.
It will be the 3rd International Heat Treatment and Surface Engineering Conference.
It will take place on 2 to 5 Septem- ber, with the attendance of many sci- entists.
"I am greatly honoured that the conference committee selected me as a plenary lecturer, because it is the first Australian appreciation of my previous work and results," Dr Szilvassy said.
In the history of science he and his
team were the first able to describe mathematically the transformation processes during heat treatment of steels.
With their work the heat treatment technology became a predesignable process for designers and production engineers to achieve the optimum.
The predesignable processes save material, energy and time.
This was rated highly when this
Dr Charles Szilvassy
work was selected exclusively by ASM International of Ohio, USA, for publi- cation in the latest International Met- als Handbook.
It was further _recognition of Dr Szilvassy' s work and achieved results.
At QUT, Dr Szilvassy has been dealing more with the mathematical modelling of the microstructure proc- esses of steel during heat treatment and plastic deformation, based partly on his DSc thesis.
Furthermore he has eight existing computer programs which are suitable to establish a steel information and selection, heat treatment, metal cor- rosion and welding system for indus- try and higher education at QUT.
His work at QUT has been hall- marked by the production of seven papers for journals and conferences.
Dr Szilvassy also has worked on pat- ents.
Dr Szilvassy said he hoped to help QUT to join in the national and inter- national research in these fields.
His QUT supervisor is the Dean of the Built Environment and Engineer- ing faculty, Professor John Corderoy.
When QUT economics and ac- counting lecturer Mr Lyle Kirkwood says he'd like every workplace in Brisbane to be green he isn't talking about colour.
His aim, which he recognises is very long term, is to have every worker in the city aware of what can be done in the workplace to save the environment His Green Workplace Workshop covers environmental issues relating to virtually all kinds of workplaces. It includes recycling, energy, motor ve- hicles, water, wastes and emissions, packaging, lighting and environmental audits.
The first workshop, held early this year, drew an audience mainly of teachers, school administrators and others such as groundspersons. A second is planned for June. Mr Kirkwood is looking at ways to reach as many government and private en- terprise workplaces as possible.
The greening of the ·office is a small but important part of his overall strat- egy. The workshop is very much a
"how to" program.
Some of the tips is offers office
workers are:
• Use refillable ball point pens or fountain pens - this will help to re- duce the demand for plastics.
• Use single sheet sheet printers- tractor-feed machines are much more wasteful.
• Use water-soluble correction fluid -this saves over-use of damaging sol- vents.
• Recycle everything possible but particularly paper - more than 70 percent of office waste is paper.
• Use environmentally safe clean- ing products, china cups and cutlery and unbleached toilet paper and tow- els.
Mr Kirkwood said if workers were more aware of what could be done they could make a major contribution to the fight to save the environment.
Recognising that charity begins at home he is working to make first his office, then the Kelvin Grove campus all green workplaces.
His next goal is encourage QUT, through staff development activities, to develop a green policy for all cam- puses.

~Gayle paddles her canoe to the world titles in Paris
Part-time QUT lecturer and stu- dent Gayle Mayes has paddled her own canoe so successfuly she is to represent Australia yet again in in- ternational c~tion.
Already a triple world champion,Gayle has been chosen to join the national sprint kayak team. The team leaves for an overseas tour in late July.
She was a member of the world champion ladies' marathon kayaking team in 1988. In Singapore, also in 1988, Gayle was a member of the world championship winning dragon boat team. Her third world title suc- cess came in 1990 when she was
captain and coach of the women's outrigger sprint team.
To maintain top physical condition, Gayle undergoes rigorous daily train- ing in the gymnasium on Kelvin Grove campus. She also trains regularly with the Australian Institute of Sport canoe unit at the Gold Coast.
The Australian team consists of five women and nine men. The women race one individual kayak, one K2 (pairs) and a K4 (four person crew). Gayle is a member of the K4 crew.
"I'm quite happy to be in a crew boat," she says. "I have no ambition to be single kayaker."
Overseas the team will compete at
international regattas, first in Sweden then in Belgium. Paris, France, is the main stop on the tour. There, the Aussies will contest the world cham- pionships against at least 20 other na- tions.
After Paris, the team will be off to Barcelona, Spain, the venue for the 1992 Olympic Games. She said they all were keen to try out the proposed Olympic course.
At QUT Gayle works with lecturer Paul Feeney, teaching outdoor pursuits and recreative swimming. She is studying for her masters in Educational Research.

Management and organisation
Implementing the organisational structure
The process of filling non-academic positions following amalgamation is now almost complete. Professional staff in the Division of Information Services have been invited to take up positions.
Thirty-seven internally advertised positions were filled following inter- view, and all general staff have now been invited to take up positions within the new structure.
Thirty-one non-academic positions not filled through internal advertise- ment have been advertised externally.
All the head of school positions created through the restructure have now been advertised.
Senior Staff Conference Deans and heads of divisions at- tended the Senior Staff Conference held at the Clear Mountain Lodge at Samford 21-24 March.
The two newly appointed Pro-Vice- Chancellors also attended with the Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Vice- Chancellor. Pauline DuRei : from the Australian Institute of Management facilitated the group, which focussed mainly on building a unified team of senior managers, and on developing a vision for the future of QUT.
Security on campus
Council encouraged development of self awareness programs in conjunc- tion with a comprehensive review of security arrangements, particularly on the northern campuses.

The objective of the memorandum is to expand the opportunities for higher education study in Queensland as well as rationalise education sys-
Finance, fabric and strategic planning
QUT planning process
The Vice-Chancellor is developing planning guidelines for QUT's next five years. The guidelines will be dis- cussed with staff over the next few weeks.
Modifications to the planning process include the abolition of the joint meeting of Academic Commit- tee and Planning and Resources Com- mittee and the movement of all activ- ity related to course approval into the first half of the year, so it is under- taken in conjunction with the devel- opment of the teaching profile.
Personnel
Council approved amendments to existing personnel policies as set out below.
Appropriate representatives nomi- nated by general and academic unions will now be included among people consulted by the Vice-Chancellor concerning reappointment or the need to make a new appointment for head of school positions.
The period of vacancy of non-aca- demic management positions after which an appointment to act in the position will be changed from 10 working days to five working days.
Eligibility for five days leave per year on full pay to attend Australian Trade Union Training Authority courses will be extended to all general staff.
Academic matters
Course development
Academic Committee approved accreditation of a Graduate Certificate in Information Technology for the period 1991 to 1995.
Structure of bachelor degrees Academic Committee approved a general policy for the design of three- year bachelor degree awards which are not constrained by professional requirements.
QUT sociology lecturer Ms Pam Byde has been appointed to conduct a survey for the Queensland Art Gallery.
A demographic survey, the purpose is to ensure the Queensland public gets maximum benefit from its Arts dollar.
The survey will ask 600 people what attracts them to the State gallery and where they obtain their information about it.
Survey subjects also will be asked their age, sex and where their homes are.
The use of services such as restau- rants, shops, brochures and seminars by gallery visitors will be studied.
The results will help the gallery recognise its public and how best to reach them. Based on the results the gallery's management plans to work out how best to cater for all tastes and
make the gallery more popular.
"Its difficulty, being the State gal- lery, is that it is not catering to just one audience," said Ms Byde.
"As the State gallery it must be all things to all people. The survey will help it use funds creatively, efficiently and with equity."
Ms By de said "getting it right" was important because the arts were be- coming major administration, educa- tion and entertainment institutions.
"Western society is very highly developed technologically so there is a need to rediscover our spiritual in- heritance," she said. "Art is a vital part of this.
"Our inheritance includes our multi- cultural and Aboriginal past."
At a more commercial level art was a multi-million dollar industry with
Rusty wire baskets become symbols of country
Seeing beauty in rusty wire baskets and old plywood may be difficult for some but for artist Rosalie Gascoigne they are symbols of Australia's rural landscape.
Part of the QUT art collection, Winter Order combines weathered timber, plywood, two rusty baskets and cut and pasted reproductions of a bull's head.
Art curator, Mr Stephen Rainbird, said Ms Gascoigne was currently one of Australia's most important and distinctive artists.
"Ms Gascoigne is interested in the beauty of man-made and natural ob- jects which she finds in the surround-
ing landscape," Mr Rainbird said.
"She believes that people do not often see the beauty in objects around them."
When arranging these objects she is concerned with formal considerations of order, sequence, weathering and so on, as well as mood and feeling."
Her love of the Australian landscape began when she moved from New Zealand to Canberra in 1943.
Mr Rainbird said the concise lines and grey tones of Winter Order might suggest the crisp air and soft light of a winter's morning in Canberra:

appeal to many, including tourists who sought the meaning of Australia through art. The survey would pro- vide the data necessary for the gallery to operate effectively at a business level.
Ms Byde said it would lay the groundwork for a psychographic sur- vey. This would be more attitudinal in approach, seeking to define the meaning of opinions.
Communication students will help with interviews and act as research as- sistants.
A sub-survey in cooperation with the Northern Rivers Campus of the University of New England will cover potential visitors from northern New
South Wales. '
