Speech scrambler surprises world
Top international security agen-
.cies have been surprised by the
success of a QUT research team in attacking commonly sold analog speech scramblers.

onstrated the poor security of many scramblers sold on the open market Several available scramblers advertise a high level of security but the original speech can be recovered from the scrambled version on a personal computer by applying algorithms de- signed by the QUT team.
A joint paper by the team was pre- sented at an international conference in the UK recently.
Mr Dawson is a lecturer in the School of Mathematics and a member of the cryptology group within the Information Security Research Centre.
But despite a worldwide demand for secure speech scramblers, the QUT team has run out of research funds.
Mr Gold burg is a PhD student being jointly supervised by Dr Sridharan and
Mr Dawson. Representatives of 40 nations at-
tended the conference. The paper pre- sented by Mr Dawson created enor- mous interest, particularly from mem- bers of various national security agen- cies.
The research team consists of Dr Sridha Sridharan, Mr Ed Dawson and Mr Bruce Goldburg.
In April this year Mr Dawson de- livered the team's joint paper at the international conference Eurocrypt 91, held at Brighton, UK.

Balsa bridges buckle
As the bridges fell, so did the faces - but QUT third-year civil engineering students proved they were up to the challenge.
The event was a "post-tensioned balsa wood structure competition" held on the Gardens Point campus on 7 May.
Entrants were required to build a structure to span a 600mm gap.
Designed to support the most load for the least mass, the model structures were tested until they collapsed.
All models had to be built from seven segments of balsa wood. No segment was permitted to be longer than 200mm. Adhesives and nails could be used to build the segments. Post-tensioning using hat elastic was the only permissible method of joining the seg- ments.
Students worked in groups to design and build their models. The high standard of entries and the wide range of designs proved that creativity in engi-
neering is alive and well at QUT.
Senior lecturer in the School of Civil Engineer- ing, Mr Rob Heywood, said the object of the com- petition was to bring out creativity, as well as being a practical method of teaching prestressed concrete design.
Ms Tricia Weeks, of QUT's Academic Staff De- velopment Unit, assessed the competition's value as
• a teaching aid.
Judges were the manager of bridge services for the state Department of Transport, Mr Bill Semple;
QUT lecturer in civil engineering, Mr John Liston;
and from the School of Civil Engineering at the Uni- versity of South Australia, Mr Kevin Mills.
After more than three hours of rigorous testing, the structure built by Nathan Harmsworth, V\ctoria Cleary, Anthony Gill and Darren Caine proved to be the best overall.
This model supported SSkg, which was 194 times its 283g mass .

and designing analog speech scram- blers.
The team's members had designed a new analog speech scrambler which offered a high level of security. Cur- rently, they were investigating the ap- plication of this design to scrambling the output of FAX machines.
"Our initial investigations show that it may be possible to use the same scrambler for both FAX and speech applications," Mr Dawson said.
"Our major problem, as with all research, is a lack of funding. I find it difficult to understand that there are companies in the marketplace that have invested millions of dollars in scram- blers, yet they don't seem interested in what we've achieved.
"For a comparatively small invest- ment in our research they could have access to one of the most secure ana- log scramblers available."
Mr Dawson said the research team had been partially supported during 1989 and 1990 by small grants from QUT research and development funds and joint CSIRO-QUT research funds.
But funds were needed urgently to develop prototypes of the new scram-
bier, as well as conducting further at- tacks on other scramblers on the mar- ket. Mr Dawson said digital scram- blers were more secure than analog scramblers but cost far more.
He stressed that an extremely large worldwide market existed for speech and FAX scramblers.
"This is another example of an op- portunity for an Australian company to capture a lucrative world market but unless we get funding soon, the opportunity may well be lost to us,"
he said.
It was a common misconception that scramblers were used only by the in- telligence community.
In the business world they were crucial to avoid industrial espionage.
Many business people had learned to their cost that car telephones were not secure.
Mr Dawson said the team had re- covered the speech from some scram- blers on the market in as short a time as 30 seconds.
"At this stage, our scrambler is ahead of the game and is highly secure, but continued research is needed to stay in front," he said.

results in $1Om Federal Government initiative
A more than $10 million Federal Government program to help Austral- ian business crack lucrative overseas markets has come from a report writ- ten by two QUT academics and one from Griffith University.
QUT economics lecturer Dr Gary Chittick, Deputy Director of the In- stitute of Applied Linguistics Mr John Stanley, and Professor of Applied Linguistics at Griffith University David Ingram, were commissioned by the Federal Department of Employ- ment Education and Training to pro- duce the report.
The report is entitled The Relation- ship Between International Trade and Linguistic Competence.
It formed the basis of the govern- ment's green paper on language and literacy policy.
As a result of recommendations made in the paper the Prime Minister, Mr Hawke, announced in his 12 March industry statement the $10.3 million grant to the federal trade promotion body, Austrade.
Dr Chittick said A us trade would use the allocation to fund two programs aimed at improving the language and cultural skills of Australian business in overseas markets.
The first program would be a graduate fellowship to enable people just out of university to study business practices in their chosen country for a period of one to two years.
The second program, a senior busi- ness fellowship, would allow estab- lished business people to live in a country they may already have trade contacts with for a period of six to twelve months.
The fellowship would provide links to appropriate work places or busi- nesses if the recipient did not already
have appropriate contacts.
Dr Chittick said too many Austral- ian business people still felt they could get by using English in a foreign country.
"While the major Australian com- panies have recognised the need for language expertise too many small and medium-range business people have not," he said.
"You may be able to get into a for- eign market without the language but you won't stay there."
He recalled the example of a Ger- man economics minister who noted that "If you wish to buy from us there • is no need to speak German. But if you wish to sell .... "

Vice-Chancellor's comment
Vision needed for uni's future
I am currently visiting schools and administrative areas to discuss the future of the university.
Coming to terms with the major restructuring following amalgama- tion a year ago is a slow and difficult process. In my view it was the largest and most complex restructure of any Australian university to date. I am also aware that our systems are still trying to catch up after this massive change.
In this context, it is useful to recap on what has been achieved in the last twelve months.
We have a new Council and new academic and non-academic struc- tures; we have filled key positions; we have transferred 2100 staff and
150 courses (2600 subjects) to the new structure; we have developed new academic and staff policies.
The foundation is in place for building a strong university from the union of a former institute of technology and a college of ad- vanced education.
The next phase is creating a shared vision of the university's future.

Law centre is busy with workshops, publications
Barely nine months after being launched QUT's Centre for Com- mercial and Property Law is pro- viding an essential service to both the legal profession and the general public.
Two professors sponsored by Queensland law firms lead the centre.
The Henderson Trout Professor of Commercial Law is Christopher Gilbert. Bill Duncan is the Fe.ez Ruthning Professor of Property Law.
Professor Gilbert said the main function of the centre was to promote interest and research in various applied fields of commercial law and property law.
The centre arranged and sponsored public seminars and public workshops on various topics of commercial and property law.
Members of the public were invited, as well as members of the legal pro- fession specialising in those areas.
"We have held a number of semi- nars and workshops so far on things like the new real estate form of con- tract and foreign investment," he said.
"We are about to hold one in a few months time on contracting with gov- ernmental and other public authori- ties."
Publications also were sponsored.
The centre was about to bring ·out a book of essays on trade practices law.
"That's the second major book-type publication that we will have spon- sored," Professor Gilbert said.
"We hope to make it at least a bien- nial event or, possibly, even an annual event that we will bring out a book of
·essays on whatever particular topic we choose for that year."
He said workshops and seminars were arranged primarily for the legal profession but stressed that anyone was welcome to attend.
Individual writing by members of the centre was supported and encour- aged.
"Several members of the centre have authored or co-authoured leading Queensland textbooks on areas of commercial law, such as commercial leases and commercial securities,"
Professor Gilbert said.
"So it's a fairly wide-ranging brief the centre has and not a bad start for an institution that's yet very young.''
The law was changing rapidly and very few areas of the law were not subject to change.
Parliaments, both state and federal, were constantly bringin~ut new leg- islation.

"The old days where a legal practitioner could be assured that his or her law degree would re- main in good standing for the next 50 years, those days are dead and buried."
Professor Christopher Gilbert (seated) and Professor Bill Duncan He said: "The busy practitioner, let
alone the busy academic, has to be constantly aware that the particular area of law that he or she i~ interested in doesn't stay the the same from month-to-month never mind year-to- year.
"There are always new laws being enacted and courts are deciding new cases that may change the law. The
old days where a legal practitiOner could be assured that his or her law degree would remain in good standing for the next 50 years, those days are dead and buried."
Professor Gilbert said both the cen- tre and QUT had organised programs of public lectures and updating semi- nars that were presented to the legal
·profession.

Public transport to QUT
People generally rely heavily on public transport to get them from A to B.
But when you're a student it seems even more important to have access to inexpensive and convenient transport.
Inside QUT spoke to students from all four campuses to find out if they thought QUT was adequately served by public transport.

"I catch the train and it's quite con- venient as the station is just near my house and I get off at the South Bris- bane station because it's quicker to walk across the bridge than all the way down from central station. For three months it costs me about $73 but I guess I can't complain seeing it's half of the full fare. Almost everyone I know catches a bus or train which makes sense seeing there's absolutely no parking space.''
David Osbourne (right) 27, Bach- elor of Teaching (Primary), Carsel- dine.
"I find the bus service quite good even though I have to catch two buses to make it to lectures because there is no direct route. The bus timetable is very frequent and many of my friends catch the bus, but a lot of people tend to drive because our campus has such ample parking."
Megan Bank (left) 19, Diploma of Education (Home Economics and English), Kelvin Grove.
"I don't have any hassle with the public transport system but it would be beneficial if we had a direct link from here into the city and the Gardens' Point campus, similar to the service Queensland Uni. runs. One definite problem though with the current sys- tem is the fact that students are not given any discount on the bus - the train is fine. All students get half price.
The only bus discount available is a yearly pass which costs nearly $400."
Jodi Roger (left) 18, Associate Di·
ploma Business (Court and Parlia- mentary Reporting), Kedron Park.
"!think the public transport system is quite good. I know of at least two buses that stop right outside the front gate and the Wooloowin train station is just around the corner. I used to live at Slacks Creek and I found that diffi- cult because I would have to be dropped into town and wait for a train and I usually spent over an hour in travelling time. But I now drive to lec- tures because its quicker and quite easy to park."

-New aerospaCe degree to soar ahead
Course set to meet demand
Queenslanders reaching for the sky and be- yond will get their chance with a new degree in aerospace proposed for introduction at QUT next year.
The course's introduction depends on re- sources and its formal QUT accreditation.
All aerospace students would be required to spend at least three hours at the controls of an aircraft in flight. A further two hours in a flight simulator is planned.
QUT and the Royal Queensland Aero Club are negotiating on proposals for the students to gam hands on flying experience.
The course includes all the theory necessary towards a private or commercial pilots licence.
The degree will be a Bachelor of Engineering (Aerospace).
It will emphasise a systems and maintenance approach to aerospace structures, power plant and electronic systems.
On present indications, a near to I 00 percent employment rate of graduates is expected. Em- ployment mostly will be offering in the space communications and avionics industries, com- mercial airlines, defence forces and government research establishments.
The course will cover aspects of structural, mechanical and communications engineering that also will prepare graduates for employment in non-aeronautical industries.
The degree course will be part of the Faculty
of Built Environment and Engineering. Initiator of the new degree and course coor-
..
dinator Professor Kurt Kubik said the course would concentrate on the areas of maintenance and avionics, but students would be given a sound basis in all aspects of mechanical, electronic and structural engineering relevant to aerospace en- gineering.

vancement in aerospace technology in Australia had created a demand for aerospacegraduates.
for the course had been done.
He said: "This is the first aerospace degree course in Queensland's history. We are combin- ing with the Royal Queensland Aero Club.
Professor Kubik said the hands on experience would be invaluable to students. "Otherwise, it would be like studying journalism without ever having read a newspaper," he said.
Avionics is the study and use of electronic equipment, particularly instruments, for use in air and space craft. It is especially relevant to satellite communications technology.
The full-time course will take four years to complete. A part-time course over six years also will be available.
A growing number of light aircraft manufac- turers, particularly in Queensland, meant a growth in employment opportunities.
At present, no other courses in aeronautical or .aerospace engineering were available in Queensland. Courses were available interstate but none had the planned QUT concentration on maintenance and avionics.
"Students will learn all their theory here at QUT and, if they wish, they can do their flying at RQAC and get their commercial pilot's licence."
Mr Glasscock said that as Australia climbed out of the current economic recession more em- ployment opportunities would arise in the maintenance area of the aerospace industry.
Professor Kubik said that despite doubt over
the proposed space base at Cape York rapid ad- .PPofessor Kubik said most of the preparation
The senior lecturer liaising with RQAC Mr Jim Glasscock said a compulsory three hours flying with a further two hours in a flight simu- lator would be part of the proposed course.
He also expected employment opportunities for graduates with Compass Airlines, which had its maintenance facility in Brisbane.
Pay system earns royalties for QUT
QUT has received the first royalties this month for the sale of a new per- sonnel and payroll computer system to Murdoch University in Western Australia.
Developed jointly with Concept Personnel Services Pty Ltd, the new system will also be installed at Edith Cowan University in Western Aus- tralia and Flinders University in South Australia later this year.
Concept managing director Mr Greg Philips said seven other universities were presently negotiating implemen- tation.
Mr Philips visited QUT earlier this month to hand over $8000 from the sale to Murdoch University. Under an agreement with Concept, QUT re- ceives a 10 percent royalty with every sale. He said the success of the system was a good example of the universi-
ty's "real world" philosophy and co- operative links with private enterprise.
Management Information Systems head Mr Colin Hoppe said the system was tailor-made for university ad- ministration. It was setting a standard around Australia.
When final implementation is com- pleted at QUT in July, the system will track applicant procedures, handle personnel, leave, payroll and superan- nuation administration.
It has been developed using ORA- CLE, a fourth-generation software package which can be used across a number of computers.
The first stage of the system was installed in June last year, making life easier for personnel staff.
Mr Joe Dascoli has just been ap- pointed as implementation project manager.

Migration urged to help economy
If Australia is to become "the clever country" it should be looking to expand rather than cut back its immigration program in the long term. Such a policy would contrib- ute substantially to the nation's skills and capital base and would encour- age new trading links.
Commenting on the Federal Gov- ernment's recently announced im- migration cutback QUT economics lecturer Dr Gary Chittick said numbers certainly should not be reduced as a policy instrument for short-term economic stabilisation.
Immigration policy had to be looked at in the long term and the benefits balanced with the social, environmental and additional in- -frastructure costs such as roads and
schools.
Dr Chittick is currently on a two- year secondment to the State Gov- ernment as private secretary to the Deputy Premier and Minister for Housing, Mr Tom Burns. He is also presently coordinating the develop- ment of QUT's international busi- ness course.
The reduction in current immi- gration numbers has been welcomed by the unions but criticised by the business sector. While cutting num- bers in the short term, however, it allows for increased migration in the longer term, particularly in the area of skilled migration.
Dr Chittick said in his view the benefits of migration far outweighed the disadvantages.
The short-term issues were that immigration might influence wages, inflation, unemployment and foreign debt.
The longer-term issues were the contribution immigration made to growth of output, national per capita income and distribution of income and wealth.
"Another way to look at it is
through the concepts of demand and supply," he said. "On the demand side immigration contributes to consumption, housing and invest- ment.
"It is also accepted that in a country with a small population like Australia real investment will cer- tainly be less without migration.
"On the supply side immigration adds to the labour supply, the skills base, the level of entrepreneurship and to the capital inflow of a coun- try. For instance new migrants brought an estimated $4.3 billion to Australia in 1988-89."
Dr Chittick said the question of migrant numbers was always diffi- cult in times such as the current economic climate with its relatively high inflation, rising unemployment and falling real wages.
Dr Gary Chittick
"But historical evidence supports the fact that Australia's boom times have always coincided with periods of high migration, such as the 50s and 60s," he said.

Reflecting on her successful career, OUT Alumni outstanding graduate Ms Jan Hannant with the inscribed silver tray commemorating her award. (Photo: Phil Keefe-Jackson)
Jan is outstanding graduate
A woman teacher who has dedicated her career to home economics has won QUT's cov- eted Outstanding Graduate of the Year Award.
Ms Jan Hannant, of Roma, re- ceived her award at a QUT Alumni function at Old Govern- ment House on 10 May.
After being told of the award, Ms Hannant said: "It was a shock really .I'm almost overwhelmed."
She said she had been told of her nomination on her birthday and she felt the nomination was birthday present enough.
"I didn't really expect to win it. It's a great honour," she added.
Ms Hannant described home economics as "the self-sufficiency of the home and family".
She said the majority of home economics students were women but some were men, mostly at tertiary level.
She said she had not thought of the award in terms of it help- ing her future career.
She saw it more as recognition for some of the things she had done.
"It's made me think a lot more about my life and career," Ms Hannant said. "And I'm pleased
to say that I enjoy what I do very much."
Now Education Department ex- ecutive director for the state's south- west region, Ms Hannant gained her first Certificate of Teaching in 1955 from what then was the Kelvin Grove Teachers Training College.
A Diploma of Home Science fol- lowed in 1962.
She received her Bachelor of Education seven years later after studying at the University of Queensland.
Her career then took her to the USA where she studied at Kansas State University to gain her masters degree in science.
This was followed by a masters in education administration, gained at the University of New England, NSW, in 1978.
In the US, Ms Hannant was granted a fellowship by the Ameri- can Home Economics Association.
She was invited to join the honours society and did so.
She is a Fellow of the Australian College of Education, an honour granted in recognition of her serv- ice and contribution to education in Australia.
The testimonial to Ms Hannant in association with the Outstanding Graduate A ward said she had been
largely responsible for trans- forming home economics and home economics teaching during the past 20 years.
She was the first educator in home economics in Australia to obtain a masters degree.
She also was the driving force leading to the awarding each year of the King and Amy O'Malley scholarships to home economics students.
Ms Hannant is one of only two women to reach the position of executive director of an educa- tion department region in Queensland. In 1972 she became the youngest person ever ap- pointed as an inspector of schools.
Her testimonial said it would be difficult to measure the enor- mous impact Ms Hannant had made on education in Queens- land.
The award is presented annu- ally by the QUT Alumni to a graduate who has made signifi- cant contributions to the devel- opment of a profession, an or- ganisation, entrepreneurial ac- tivity or to the community.
All graduates of QIT, BCAE and institutions preceding these are also eligible for nomination.
Storytime has happy ending
A nightly bedtime story can be the first step in beating illiteracy in adults says QUT Early Childhood lecturer, Ms Kaye Throssell.
Reading to children from an early age helps them believe that "good things come in books".
As a result they will become famil- iar with "book language", come to like books and develop a good attitude to reading and learning.
"If children grow up with the idea of books they don't see them as a chore, or frightening," said Ms Throssell.
"Instead they tend to read auto- matically."

from an early age.
"You'd be surprised how many par- ents don't bother to talk to their babies simply because they can't talk back,"
said Ms Throssell.

Strategy helps Downs region plan its future
QUT planning and surveying ex- perts are helping eight local councils around Toowoomba to develop an integrated strategy for the region's future.
Head of Planning and Landscape Architecture Associate Professor Phil Heywood said the project was the first systematic regional plan commis- sioned by a consortium of local au- thorities in Queensland.
He said that regional planning in the state had been discouraged by de- velopers and local governments over the past 15 years "as dangerous gov- ernment intervention". But the Elec- toral and Administrative Review Commission had provided incentive for local authorities to show they could voluntarily come up with regional land use plans and comment on government roles and boundaries.
The regional plan for Toowoomba and its hinterland goes a step further.
Land use strategy will be a by-product of a wide-ranging look at the region's future to the year 2010. This will dovetail into a state-sponsored South East Queensland 2001 Plan as a sub- region.
Professor Heywood is on a profes- sional advisory group for the south east Queensland plan.
Principal consultant to the Eastern Downs Regional Organisations Com- mittee (EDROC) Mr Rob Walker has involved Professor Heywood, urban
and regional planning senior lecturer Dr Brian Hudson, and surveying lec- turers Mr Brian Hannigan and John Cook in defining the methodology and technology required for the region's strategy development.
Local authorities comprising ED ROC are Toowoomba, Crows Nest, Jondaryan, Gatton, Rosalie, Pillsworth, Clifton and Cambooya.
Professor Heywood said these local authorities had different interests but a framework of weighted, agreed ob- jectives was needed for the strategy plan.
"The approach is to trade-off these interests in each others' presence," he said.
"it's a community of interest region
and there is a level of agreement and mutual sympathy between shires.
"Agriculture, tourism, commerce, land care and population maintenance strategies need a regional view to work."
The objectives framework includes population, land management, indus- trial stimulation, state/federal funding coordination, administrative coordi- nation, and transport. Professor Heywood said the project began in December 1990 and was about one- third completed.
Information was now being gener- ated to quantify objectives and re- sources available to fulfil them. Policy formulation will begin mid-year.
Rig prunes RAAF maintenance bill
The Royal Australian Air Force will save about $2 million a year in repair bills for its FIll combat aircraft thanks to QUT mechanical engineering lec- turer George O'Sachy.
Mr O'Sachy, a Squadron Leader with the RAAF Active Reserve, has designed a piece of maintenance equipment which literally revolution- ises wing servicing.
His Wing Rollover Rig allows a detached wing to be rotated during servicing. It earned Mr O'Sachy a
$4480 award under the RAAF's sug- gestion scheme.
A commendation from Air Head- quarters Australia at Penrith, NSW, says such innovations are "invaluable in these times of manpower shortages".
Mr O'Sachy, a senior engineerin'g officer with 23 City of Brisbane Squadron, designed the wagon wheel- like device after noting cumbersome and time consuming maintenance procedures.
Inspections and repairs involved first placing a wing on a pair of tres-
'
ties. Then two mobile cranes were used to turn over the wing for work on the opposite side.
Various tasks involved in the repair process necessitated rolling the wing over a number of times.
Mr O'Sachy's submission to the Defence Department in Canberra pointed out that the proposed Wing Rollover Rig would be a great im- provement to "the complex and costly maintenance task and obvious safety hazard".
Mr O'Sachy said the device could save an estimated 2400 man hours per wing per year. With a life expectancy beyond the year 2000 the improved method of handling could total 50 000 man hours for Australia's fleet of Fills - with the RAAF estimating each man hour at $40.
Representatives of the United States Air Force have seen the rig and said they would adopt the device. The USAF has more than 600 F II Is.
Britain's Royal Air Force also has two operational Fill squadrons.

Computer legal aid
A computer version of a popular, easy-to-follow manual explaining the legal responsibilities of incorporated associations has been produced to help the disabled.
QUT accountancy senior lecturer Mr Myles McGregor-Lowndes has put the manual on disc at the request of the Paraplegic J' nd Quadriplegic As- sociation of Qu ensland (PQAQ).
The Incorp rated Associations Manual, edited by Mr McGregor- Lowndes, was published last year.
He said its purpose was to help clarify for associations their legal re- sponsibilities under the 1982 Asso- ciations and Incon>orations Act.
It also included management, in- surance, taxation, auditing and fund- raising information.
The PQAQ recognised its value but found it was difficult for some mem- bers to use because of the difficulty of turning pages manually.
A computer vedion was suggested because of the hig~ degree of compu- ter literacy and use among disabled people, Mr McGre or-Lowndes said.
PQAQ manage ent committee member, Mr Bill arsden, of Ascot, graduated from the ld QIT in Applied Science in 197 I. e described the manual as another st p for the disabled towards their goal o controlling their own destiny.
Mr Garsden said ost members of the association's m nagement com- mittee were disabled.
"As a member of that committee the manual helps me to understand my own responsibilities better," he said.
"I will also be able to inform others better if the need arises "

Dance teachers
in method trials Flipf.Jtllt fllrts b\ foppish farce
""' ~.,.,. ~--~-- ~-~
Clinical superviSIOn of teaching methods as a means to improve teaching practice has been introduced into the QUT dance program.
A joint project with the Academic Staff Development Unit, the system is non-judgemental and based on volun- tary participation and confidentiality.
Last year lecturer in tertiary teach- ing and learning, Dr Gay Crebert, of ASDU, met with the heads of per- forming and visual arts at Kelvin Grove and Carseldine campuses.
The purpose of the meeting was to determine the specific needs of staff in those areas for assistance in pro- fessional, academic, research and teaching development.
As a result of the meetings the head of dance program, Ms Sue Street, in- vited Dr Crebert and her ASDU col- league Ms Tricia Weeks to help in- troduce a model of clinical supervi- sion and peer review into the program.
Dr Crebert said clinical supervision was aimed at fostering reflective teaching practice, self-criticism and self-evaluation.
It involved close cooperation with peers to monitor teaching methods currently in use and to improve them in the future.
"For this project we enlisted the help of audio-visual staff at Kelvin Grove who operated two video cameras dur- ing filming sessions in the studio," Dr Crebert said.
"Six teaching staff participated and the classes observed included different levels from classical ballet to con- temporary dance."
Acting head of the dance program, Ms Shaaron Boughen, gave the project her full support. She said the staff in- volved were enthusiastic, although some were initially nervous at the prospect of being filmed in action.
Dr Crebert said the project had moved through the first cycle. All six staff had been observed, filmed and had their teaching methods analysed and discussed with Dr Crebert and Ms Weeks.
All had emerged with new insights into their teaching methods, helped in many ways by the observations and comments of the two lecturers.
Despite their lack of formal train- ing in dance education, Dr Crebert said she and Ms Weeks were able to take into the studio the fresh perspectives of objective outsiders.
Currently laying audiences in the aisles at the Woodward Theatre, QUT Kelvin Grove, is the outra- geous Moliere farce The Ridiculous Precieusus. Directed by David Fenton, in association with QUT, it is the first and one of the most bril- liantly satirical of Moliere's com- edies.
Mr Fenton described the play as:
"A biting one-act comedy, tongue- trippingly flirting with the language of fops and larger than life charac- ters."
Moliere's play sparks with sexual innuendo. The play has ardent pas- sion, chilling virtue and brutally funny revenge.
"It is a play of extremes," Mr Fenton said. "It brings to light the glorious contradictions of human nature.
"The extremes that people will apply as a social mask to fulfil their desires. The extremes of young ver- sus old, of tradition versus a so- called progressive movement to- wards enlightenment."
The Ridiculous Precieusus opened on 14 May and has its final per- formance on Saturday 18 May.
Tickets are $3 and nightly perform- ances begin at 8pm.
"It is a supportive, collaborative model for improving instruction," she said. "It is non-threatening and non- judgemental, and is based on voluntary participation and confidentiality," she said.
"During next semester we hope to produce a marketable video package to demonstrate the introduction and application of the clinical supervision model within the dance program," she
added.
Award winner visits QUT
The process worked through re- peated cycles of consultation, class- room observation, reflective analysis and post-observation discussion be- tween teacher and observer.

Australian-born Lloyd Newson is building a big reputation for himself in Europe as choreographer and per- former but recently found time to help QUT dance students.
Lloyd spent a week as a visiting teacher with the dance program at Kelvin Grove campus.
Acting dance program head Ms Shaaron Boughen said Lloyd's teach- ing had been of enormous value to both male and female students.
Now based in London, UK, Lloyd's QUT visit was his second. Ms Boughen said he was here last year, immediately after his company won the festival award at the Melbourne International Festival.
This year he was invited to take a workshop at the Adelaide International Festival of Workshops. Following the festival, Lloyd stayed in Australia for five weeks, including his week at QUT.
In Europe, Lloyd runs a movement theatre group called DV8, the DV standing for Dance Video. Last year his company won the Digital Dance Award which Ms Boughen described
as "a very prestigeous award given in Europe".
The winning performance was a piece called Dead Dreams of Mono- chrome Men.
"The idea for that came from a killer.
It looks at one aspect of loneliness in men," Ms Boughen said.
Lloyd also had won video dance awards in Europe. His company was among the top groups invited to tour the world presenting their work.
Ms Boughen said: "His company actually came to fruition and got a name for itself because of the nature of the work. It is looking very much at the psychological aspect of people"
Lloyd made use of that aspect in movement. His work had particular significance for the homosexual com- munity.
"When the British Government was trying to criminalise homosexuality again, Lloyd did a piece which chal- lenged that law. This raised the group's profile and brought them to the fore in media popularity," she said.
In Europe Lloyd's group performed

what was known as movement theatre but it had a very strong dance compo- nent.
"He doesn't use much of the spoken word at all. It is mostly dance and visual work, but there's a lot of movement in it that people would not categorise as dance.
"It covers quite a broad spectrum in
movement terms but has very definite dance and movement components, and the people he uses are mostly dancers,"
she said.
Ms Boughen said Lloyd's ability to communicate was one of his teaching strengths. At 34, he was close in age to the major age group of students.
"He is someone who has made a name for himself by pursuing what he believes is right for himself. He has not gone down the pathway of adher- ing to other peoples' standards or ideals for what a dancer should be .
"That image and model is a good one for our students, to actually see that someone has persevered with their own beliefs and made that work for them," she said.
QUT foot clinic helps children
Disabled children are receiving special health assistance from podiatrists at QUT's School of Public Health.
The importance of the feet to physical well-being was stressed during National Foot Health Week, which kicked off on 9 May.
QUT podiatry tutor and vice- president of the Australian Podiatry Association, Ms Robyn Elwell- Sutton, said the week was part of an education campaign to alert the community to the importance of looking after their feet.
It also was intended to show the public how a podiatrist could help with foot health care.
"The podiatrist is the primary care-giver for foot health," Ms Elwell-Sutton said.
The term podiatrist meant a
"specialist of the foot" she ex- plained.
"A chiropodist treats basic prob- lems of hands and feet. Podiatrists do not treat hands but we have a very extensive medical background in feet.
"We do not treat just the feet but the feet as a part of the whole lower limb," Ms Elwell-Sutton said.
"What we want to do is educate the whole community so that par- ents will know what to look for in their children and be alert to signs of things that are not quite right."
Just as in dentistry and optometry, early checks meant early interven- tion and prevention of a lot of prob- lems later in life.
The first signs of many degen- erative conditions showed up in the feet and lower limbs.
She said: "There is a thinking abroad that sore feet is just something you put up with and shut up, but increasingly this is coming under focus because often the feet are the first organs of the body to display degenerative changes, such as those indicating dia- betes or vascular disease."
Faults in neurological functioning showed up first in the feet because they were furthest from the heart and the nerve supply there easily was af- fected.
Early detection of health problems was essential, particularly in Australia, because of the aging population.
Ms Elwell-Sutton said maintaining the mobility of an aging population was crucial because without mobility other degenerative diseases set in.
She said increasing numbers of physically and mentally handicapped children were being referred by doctors and physiotherapists to QUT Podopaediatric Clinic.
"This clinic is unique in Queensland.
There is no similar facility in the public health sector.
Sadly, QUT is losing its graduates to interstate institutions and hospitals,"
Ms Elwell-Sutton said.
Podiatrists were increasingly in de- mand as part of the health care team in the fields of rehabilitation, paediat- rics, high-risk patient care and sports injury.

Super hero Condoman battles deadly AIDS virus
Condoman, the superhero of safe sex, visited QUT last month as part of his national tour to raise awareness of the deadly AIDS virus.
He handed out promotional material to students and staff at the Gardens Point campus on 30 April.
Condom an was first created in 1987 by Aboriginal health workers at a conference in Townsville. Hence the character wears the colours of the Aboriginal flag.
And his message? "Don't be Shame, Be Game - Protect Yourself'.

Art crosses the range
Sculptures and textiles created by QUT students have gone over the Toowoomba Range to appear in the second annual ex- change exhibition with the University College of South Queensland.
Vi I art I r r Mr ohn Arm ron said the QUT exhibition at the Toowoomba campus was three times larger than last year's.
It includes work by students enrolled in honours, second year and third year levels of the Bachelor of Arts (Visual Arts) course.
Work by Toowoomba students is displayed at the QUT Merivale Street Gallery in Left: Looking at the sculpture exhibit at Merivale Street are Mr John Armstrong and student Natalie Billing.

The exchange exhibition was opened at both venues on 13 May and will continue until 24 May.
Mr Armstrong said students would take part in critique session at the end of the exhibition.
This exercise would add to the educational value of presenting the exhibition.
• The Visual Arts and Craft Board of the Australia Council has awarded overseas stu- dio residencies to two QUT lecturers.
Ms Elizabeth Edwards will travel to France for a three-month stay at the Cite Internationale des Arts in the heart of Paris.
Tutor Ms Wendy Mills has received a four- month scholarship to Japan.
She plans to leave by the end of the year.
Brisbane listeners get their favourites on the air from Kelvin Grove campus
Students were on hand to help when popular Brisbane group Bebopera recorded the May program.
Music students at Kelvin Grove campus are gaining credit points while ensuring Brisbane radio audiences can tune in to their favourite programs.
Students studying popular music within the music degree help put to air
programs for the public radio station 4MBS. The studio is located on the campus grounds.
The station, funded by public sub- scription, broadcasts a 24-hour pro- gram of classical and jazz music.
As a joint initiative QUT Music, 4MBS and the Queensland Commit- tee for Jazz Coordination are running a series of live jazz concerts on the first Thursday of each month from March through October.

OUT team captain Rachael Powell's moment of triumph. (Photo: Sue Burow) The University Games at
Toowoomba over the May long weekend were a major triumph for QUT who won the Champions Tro- _phy with the top points score over-
all.
It is the first time a non-host uni- versity has won the trophy in the event's 10-year history.
QUT chalked up a total of 334 points - I 9 points ahead of host in- stitution the University College of South Queensland and 168 in front of longstanding rivals, the Univer- sity of Queensland.
A total of I 500 students from universities as far as James Cook University in Townsville. and the University of New England in Armidale, NSW, competed in a to- tal of 14 sports.
The 320-strong QUT contingent enjoyed wins in the biathlon, golf, women's basketball, netball, wom- en's touch football, rugby league, rugby union and karate.
QUT recreation programs coor- dinator Mr Dennis Cook descri.bed the weekend as "an outstanding success for QUT sport".
"Over the past year, we have worked very hard at developing sport throughout QUT and this is
an indication of the success of our programs," he said.
Mr Cook said QUT was able to overcome the traditional advantage of the host institution by sending a large group of competitive players.
Teaching student Geoff Moon won the men's biathlon - after finishing 58th in the World Cup marathon on the Gold Coast the previous weekend.
Microbiology student Anastasia Chandra was first to cross the line in the women's biathlon. Both men's and women's courses included two 5km runs broken by a 30km bicycle ride.
In rugby league, the Kelvin Grove Bulls defeated the University of Queensland in the semi-final before downing James Cook University in the final.
Both the netball and rugby union teams beat the University College of South Queensland in the finals.
Women's touch defeated Griffith University and women's basketball beat the University of Queensland - Gatton campus.
QUT now qualifies to compete in the National Winter Games to be held at the University of Canberra from 29 September to 3 October.
