Clinton News-Record, 1984-04-11, Page 26NE (.Summer, wrti are pnPiting the insect repels for Northern camps, rookies t'hat rs Ind will be heading,#Qr the U .versitY of h Now into its second year, the University% f; omputer Camp fl;s beco ... a meed for 12 to 1Gyear olds who revere e technological Wonder. "We provide extensive reereatlonal aim tivttles such as swimming, sports, and cookouts, but our campers are often more interested in upping their scores in playing Asteroids rather than baseball," laughs Professor Dave Swayne who co-ordinates the camp. He explains that rookies are youngsters who have interest but little or no computing experience, while hackers are more advanced. Gurus, at the top of the pyramid, are. selected second year campers who have demonstrated their abilities. "Guelph isrthe only University in Canada which provides and staffs its own residential corn -pater camp, as far as we. know," says Prof. Swayne, who is in the University's Department. of Computing and Information Science. "We became aware of the numerous non-residential and commercial camps popping up, and realized that the University really is the ideal place for that, youngsters to study computing. "During the school year, students are often hampered by insufficient access to computing resources and tutoring which could help them gain a competitive edge in school and future careers," says the specialist. "At the university we have the facilities to provide expert tailor-made in- struction by faculty. Our hardware, which includes two large Vax 11/780 computers and a variety of up-to-date micro- computers, is first-rate." The camp features a minimum five hours a day of in- struction and practical application. Even the most inexperienced camper will learn how to program according to Prof. Swayne. As confidence grows, youngsters will tackle more ambitious projects such as._.. .. computing theory and computer architec- ture, robotics, and new languages. Artificial intelligence, operating systems, and sophisticated graphics are some other possibilities, Campers alai have auniquechance to join .. regular University students at the Micro- computer Club. Club members are avid hackers who enjoy developing their own games, synthesizing music, and even discovering new ways of doing homework. While a camper does not have to be a whiz kid to attend, a recommendation from a mathematics, science, or data processing teacher is required. Scholarship monies, awarded on the basis of need and/or ability, are available from participating corporate sponsors., ThiaSummer, the camp" is divided into three one-week sessions, July 9-14, Auguste 13-18 and August 20-25. The July session coincides with, the University's Summer Campus program, so that keen com- puterites and parents Can spend time on the campus together. This session provides more guided learning for youngsters who are just beginning, have limited experience on the keyboard, or progress better with more traditional instruction. The August sessions provide three different circuits of instruction for rookies, hackers, and gurus. Last year, youngsters traveuea from the far corners of the province to attend Com- puter Camp. Their reactions varied, but were overwhelmingly positive. "I learned.a lot," one commented succinctly. Another camper described the experience as a "great chance to try out almost anything I wanted with someone to help." Parents were equally enthusiastic. Many pointed out that the experience provides a good headstart in finding a worthwhile career. "A good introduction to university living and a good balance of learning and socializ- ing for young adults," commented another. Campers may commute or live on campus in a University residence. Trained counsellors will supervise learning, recrea- I tional and residence life activities in a ratio_ of approximately ten t� one.

Pig art to feature new categories Hard as it may seem to believe, the 1984 version of the Ontario Pork Congress held in Stratford during the third week of June is just'a little over two months away. While this might seem like plenty of lead time, the next few weeks will be especially important for the entrants in this year's Pig Art competition at the Pork Congress. One of the most unique features of any agricultural exhibition in Canada the Pig Art competition gives lovers of the Ontario hog an opportunity to portray their favorite farm animal in a fashion which they see fit. Chairman of the competition, Heather Learn of Mt. Elgin, explains there are eight classes in the competition this year, in- cluding pig poetry and farm identification. Other categories are fine art, humour, original model, preformed model, stitchery, photography and quilts. Although Pig Art has received great sup- port from around Stratford M. Learn said she is looking for more entrants from the other pork producing areas of the province, including the major urban centres. With the push for additional entries, this year's competition should easily top the 100 entries who vied for the prize money last year. In addition to the prize money, the top en- tries in each category are auctioned off at the Pork Congress with the proceeds going to the entrants. For this year's show, all entries must be in the hands of the Pork Congress by 1 p.m. on Monday, June 18. More information on the Pig Art competi- tion can be obtained from Mrs. Jean Smelski, Secretary, Ontario Pork Congress, P.O.
