Gellatly moves on to UBC Bruce Gellatly, viceâ€"president finance and operations at University of Waterloo, will leave that post to join University of British Columbia as viceâ€"president finance Jan. 1, 1984. * A Kitchener native, Gellatly has been at the University of Waterloo since it was founded in 1957, first as comptroller and, since 1970, as viceâ€"president. *‘The position at UBC offers a stimulating challenge in an institution which is about twice the size of Waterioo and which is now experiencing the financial restraint that has been a way of life in Ontario universiâ€" ties since the mid 70s," said Gellatly, commenting on his decision. "I take pride in having been part of the administration at UW, which has gained a widespread reputation as wellâ€"managed university. It is because of the existing and ongoing strength and depth of experienced managers at Waterioo that I feel I can leave at this time," he said. "I‘ve decided it‘s a fair time to make a change and, with the experience gained at Waterioo over the last 26% years, I hope to make a major contribution to the future developments at UBC under its new president, Dr. George Pedersen." _ He said it had been a difficult decision for both him and his wife, Audrey. _ "We have been lifelong residents of Kitchener and Waterloo and will miss our many friends, relatives and the organizaâ€" tions of which we have been part," he said. "However, we have a married daughter and a new grandchild living in Vancouver." Bruce Gellatly Universities helpful but some profs wary in media dealings ..

Some professors welâ€" come this as an opporâ€" tunity to communicate their ideas to the public through the media, but for others it is an anxiâ€" etyâ€"ridden experience. The University of Wateriloo Information Services Department has prepared a short guide to assist univerâ€" sity faculty in their dealings with the media. Bob Whitton of the Information Serâ€" vices Department said that the pamphlet was originally prepared about eight years ago "to help the universiâ€" ties be more effective in communicating with the public through the media." The project was unâ€" dertaken, Whitton exâ€" plained, in response to requests from several professors for informaâ€" tion and advice on how to "get along" with the media. Some faculty members he said are reluctant to be interâ€" viewed on the radio while others fear their comments may be misâ€" interpreted or misquotâ€" ed in the press. In preparing the pamphlet, special focus was placed on clarifying the different goals and values of media people â€" that many reporters, for exâ€" ample, are working with rigid deadlines and require informaâ€" tion presented in a simâ€" plified form. â€" ‘"We emphasized the different value systems to make them aware their (professors) value system, that doesn‘t mean that there is anything ues,"" he said The pamphlets have been distributed to all faculty members on campus and, said Whitâ€" ton, requests have Both the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University‘s Information Services Departments have preâ€" pared media guides to {facilitate ‘media conâ€" tact with university faculty.

Taylor added that if an expert on a particular subject cannot be found at WLU, the call is channelled down the road to the University of Wateriloo. Taylor also contacts various professors at the university to preâ€" pare news features on their particular area of specialization.
