The $1.3 million project‘s main purpose is to help Pakistan in managing the water that is needed in the country by some 81 million people, and comes mainly from the Himalayas, which often provide either far too much waâ€" ter, or far too little.

Muncaster said a replacement for Hewitt during his term as research professor will be fiâ€" nanced by the university‘s acaâ€" demic development fund. Hewitt, who has been a faculty member at Laurier since 1976, received his master‘s degree from Cambridge and his doctorate from the University of London. The appointment comes at an excellent time for Hewitt, since it will allow him to concentrate his efforts on the three research projects, and make him more available for the implementation of a new honors degree in physiâ€" cal geography the following year. Dr. Russell Muncaster, academâ€" ic viceâ€"president, said he made the appointment from among the applications he received from some of the top researchers at Laurier. A third research project, underâ€" taken at the request of the Canaâ€" dian Association of Geographers, will see Hewitt undertake an examination of various hazards in Canada, including earthâ€" quakes, floods and tornadoes, and manâ€"made hazards such as indusâ€" trial pollution and other threats to the health of Canadians. One inital belief is that much of the Allied bombing had very little effect on the war effort, even though housing was hard hit, he said.

There is still room for more participants in the courses offered in both locations. Participants would be expected to undertake some backâ€" ground reading and preâ€"trip orientation or seminars, and must be registered with the university.

Dr. Alfred Hecht, a Laurier geographer, will teach two halfâ€"credit coursés. The first will focus on the German city, comparing the healthiness of various large centres and smaller cities. The second, on Western Europe, will focus on the West German landscape, with an emphasis on underâ€" standing regional variations and their relations to the broader European Common Market, of which they are a part. Egypt and Turkey will be the sites for the archaeology session, July 1 to Aug. 4. The instructor will be Dr. Robert Fisher, a Laurier religion and culture professor, conducting his 10th Near Eastern field seminar. Dr. Herminio Schmidt, also a Laurier faculty member, will teach a course on German languages and civilization, lecturing in English.
