PAGE 10 â€" WATERLOO CHRONICLE, WEDNESDAY, JULY 28, 1993 @0) â€" | g V AYS Moreover, the interconnections between libraries through Interâ€" net are also superior, Here at the local universities, no one has told me that I can search the catalogues of other universities through various techniques like FTP, Telnet, Gopher, Veronica or Archie, all available on Internet, which I have access to as do all students and faculty at the local universities. I was given the addresses of several larger university libraries in the U.S. so I can check their cataâ€" logues. Moreover, in many instances, I can download an article from a journal rather than get it through Interlibrary Loan or photocopy. Yet, while I was visiting, I not only got handouts but lectures on how to get into library catalogues to search for books in various Unfortunately, I was disappointed to find that some of the same problems which plague Ontario universities also are affecting IU. The legislature overruled the veto imposed by the Governor of the state so that a budget was available for the start of the fiscal year July 1). However, that budget passed by the Republicanâ€"dominated legislature included fewer tax increases and less spending than what the Governor had proposed and of course, the University of Indiana was one of the budget cuts. Why does that not surprise me? The board of the university promptly raised tuition fees, however, by seven per cent for inâ€"state residents and eight per cent for outâ€"ofâ€" state residents. I wonder why that does not surprise me either? Inâ€" state residential tuition will be in the order of $2,800 which doesn‘t sound like a huge jump from what Ontario residents pay for their tuition these days.

A new education buildâ€" ing had permitted the old education building to be gutted and one wing torn off to reconstruct for the music faculty, which already had two other buildings on campus. The residence which was being used by the conference was undergoing refitting for air conditioning and other air circulation problems. The basement area where the public phones and other facilities were located was outâ€"ofâ€"bounds because of the construction work. Other buildings were undergoing fewer major changes but it reminded me of the rush during summer to maintain facilities locally. Fraternities and sororities were housed in beautiful large buildings on the periphery of the campus, many of which were being expanded. Bu Library science expertise is extensive. The IU Main Library is stupendous as is the Business library. Library and Information Sciâ€" ence is taught together so the librarians are the most knowledgeâ€" able people to ask for assistance with computers too. For someone used to the libraries of our local universities, which are quite good by many standards, the wonderful advances that can be had by visâ€" iting the facilities there are just breathtaking. Waterloo is blessed to have two fine post secondary institutions. However, it would be well for the residents of this city to visit other I just returned to Waterloo having spent almost a month (late June to late July) in Hoosier hospitality country. Basketball is a passion in the area as is cycling. It seems those two sports have made Bloomington famous as an area for movies. Breaking Away, the movie, was filmed in Bloomington and this year, Nick Nolte was there filming a basketball movie for release in 1994. After all, the University of Indiana Hoosiers have made a name for themselves and were being used in the movie. I was there for more erudite reasons. The University of Indiana (TU) is a grand university by any Canadian standards. The beautiâ€" ful sohd buildings are set out in a gorgeous parkâ€"like setting where one building is not always visible from another because of the big beautiful trees. Unfortunately, during my visit, several larger trees were blown over during a nearâ€"tornado as one touched down within‘ 15 miles of the campus. i â€" _ Bowl your w a few...3 Hoosier country (Continued on page 11) There are many followers in the _ 8S@id. community, but the Duke is the _ The Duke has its loyal cusâ€" drawing beer," chuckled Leslie. Before the Duke was opened in 1980, its floor plans were sent to an architect in England, who then created an Englishâ€"pub blueprint, right from the low wooden beams, to the paintings and light fixtures. After the blueprint was made, the contractors sent three builders over from England to do the inteâ€" rior of the Duke, making it as Engâ€" lish as English can get in Canada. What makes the Duke of Wellington so special is not so much the variety of beer served (over 33 choices on a regular basis), but their dedâ€" ication to the local indepenâ€" dent breweries over the years. The Felbers gave the independents a chance to expose their products to the beerâ€"drinking public when larger and more established hotels and pubs didn‘t want to take the risk of selling unknown beer. "There are so many choices on the micro market, it‘s incredible. We‘re amazed with the number of small breweries in the area," Mike Ironically, Mike Felber is Gerâ€" man with family in Germany also in the pub and food business. Felâ€" ber believes that you can take a German pub, locate it in England and there‘s very little difference. Felber met his wife, Leslie, while they were both working at the Valâ€" halla Inn in Kitchener. At the time, she was also an artist who had her work on display in local "If you look on the ceilings and various parts of the wall you can see their (the builders‘) initials," It says English all over. From the brightly colored Union Jack draped from the ceiling beams, to its dart boards and Tudorâ€"style decorations, it‘s the pride of England in Uptown Waterloo. And like the British, the Duke of Wellington is a survivor in the tough world of the restaurant busiâ€" ness. Located in the Atrium on Erb Street in Waterloo, the Duke of Wellington is the building‘s only surviving business since its openâ€" ing back in 1980. Although the restaurant changed hands in 1982, owners Mike and Leslie Felber have done little to revamp this typâ€" ical English pub. They don‘t want to tamper with success and tradiâ€" tion.
