Page 6 Olds Gazette/ Mountain View Countv News new murals add character to cafeteria walls The College Cafeteria has a new look Thanks to the efforts of local artist and part-time fashion instructor, Ruth Jepson, a shining new series of murals are now on display at the Frank Grisdale Hall Residence Cafeteria. The project, jointly funded through Beaver Foods, Residence Council, and Olds College, features scenes from numerous areas around campus. I got the idea to design something for the facility after noticing that there were exactly eight arches on the wall with absolutely nothing inside of them, Jepson explained. I just thought at the time how nice it would be if people had something to look at instead of blank wall space - something that everyone could relate to, no matter what their position was or what classes they attended. The murals, she says, are intended to capture the life of Olds College through the depiction of staff, faculty, and students. As an added personal touch, portraits of individuals presently attending or working on campus were included in some of the mural themes. The design and finish of the murals took Jepson about eight days to sketch at the Didsbury studio and another two weeks to paint and hang in the cafeteria. I had to use this special kind of latex paint for the lighter colors and a water-based paint to do the darker tones before spraying the entire design with a fixative, she explained. Campus Life Manager, Alvin Moore, is impressed with the way the community is responding to the new murals. Comments from the students, especially, have really been great. We had one girl, for example, who was in the process of showing her parents around campus. They made a special trip to the cafeteria just so she could show them the new murals we put up. It's a real morale booster when you see something like that happen. It's something we need more of. This is not the first time Jepson has graced the hallways of Olds College with her artwork. Last fall, an entire history of costume design was unveiled on the hallway walls of Olds College's Duncan Marshall Place. The 10 life-size wooden silhouette murals were designed not only to visually enhance- the appearance of DMP, but to also serve as teaching aids in the Fashion Merchandising and Production Program. The silhouettes display fashions dating back from prehistoric times right up to the present. Jepson says the concept behind creating a self-portrait of Olds College is easily carried through to other facilities on campus. It wouldn't be difficult to paint murals in other areas and at other facilities - this particular project went along so well. Everyone backed me right away - the College, Residence Council, students, and Beaver Foods - with that kind ot support, it would be pretty difficult to have said no. research helps Canada compete In an environment where the tiniest advantage can make all the difference between prosperity and being an' also-ran, it's no wonder the agri-food sector looks to research to get a leg up on the competition. Agriculture Canada's Research Branch is answering the challenge of an increas- ingly difficult marketplace by taking its cues from the agri food sector. Industry knows best where help is needed - it's out there in the front lines. Getting research results into the hands of industry as quickly as possible also gives an edge. One of the quickest and surest ways to commercialize new technology is through research partnerships. Jointly funded collaborative agreements are becoming increasingly popular with research partners looking for a return on their R D investment. The branch currently has over 700 collaborative agreements under way with in dustry. The number continues to grow. Not all research has immediate payoff. Some programs are long-term, high-risk projects that take a long time to yield results. Industry recognizes the importance of this kind of research for improving its competitive position over the long haul, but simple economics compel it to focus its efforts where results are more immediate. .And the results have been something to write home about. For instance, a Saskatchewan company has commercialized an environmentally friendly grasshopper bait developed at the Saskatoon Research Station. Sales are brisk, ringing up around 1 million a year. The Saskatoon station also developed Sunola, a new, alternative oilseed crop that was the first release by public tunder. Niche marketing is a booming business these days, and again, research plays a leading role. Niche marketers will appreciate a new safflower for the southern Prairies that's better than any that California can offer, and a new Fenugreek cultivar, the first ever for Canadian conditions. From coast to coast, the list of winners with research goes on. A processing company in Nova Scotia is bottling a new apple-pear juice blend that's a big hit with consumers. A Quebec company took top honours at a prestigious Paris food fair for a new, maple- flavoured ham. A produce company from British Columbia, has cracked the Asian fresh-herb market. Research can help turn a good idea into a great idea. .And great ideas are the foundation of a thriving, competitive marketplace. * . f?a *' *v : ' *:1 PLANONTms UJhen vou want quality work for affordable prices come to Leatherdale Publishing Ltd. from business car'ds to newspaper flyers to stationery to invitations uue do it all.

Roughly 11 to 12 million tonnes or about SO per cent of the 1992 Canadian wheat crop will grade feed. Based on history, the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) may be able to export about four million tonnes, says Larry Ruud. The domestic market should consume a miUion or more tonnes than last year, about 4.2 to 4.7 million tonnes. That leaves a carry over of three to four million tonnes.
