ULTIMATE NEWS - ATHLETICS REPORT DECISION ANNOUNCED:

At 10 a.m. today, President Van Loon will hold a news conference
announcing his decision to accept the Athletics Board Report
and its recommendations for the future of competitive sport
at Carleton. The recommendations focus on an integrated sport
structure, which incorporates a more gender equitable environment,
greater opportunities for student participation and a successful
and viable competitive program. Under this new structure, the
football program will be cut.

The "new" look of competitive athletics will see two divisions
of Varsity sports (play at the CIAU and OUA levels) and a third
Competitive Sports Club level (no CIAU or OUA play).

Division 1: VARSITY
 Basketball (M & W),
 Fencing (M & W),
 Nordic Skiing (M & W),
 Soccer (M & W),
 Water Polo (M & W).

Division II: VARSITY
 Field Hockey (W),
 Golf (M),
 Rowing (M & W),
 Rugby (M),
 Swimming (M & W).

Competitive Clubs:
 Baseball (M),
 Ice Hockey (M & W),
 Rugby (W),
 Lacrosse (M & W),
 Ultimate Frisbee (M & W),  !*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!
 Volleyball (W).

LOOKING FOR A NEW JOB - HELP OCUA AT THE SAME TIME:

LEAVE THE GOVERNMENT. Become an AMB employee. Contract to
wherever you want.

Our best benefit is the AMB RPTA -- the ability to transfer
over Government pension at a great premium
(see http://www.amb.ca/pension).

Our other benefits may include:
- low mark-up of 5% to 20%!
- very flexible hours
- some work at home
- employee software purchase plan (e.g., Microsoft products)
- possible tax write-offs for home office and car (if you use it)
- lucrative pension (better than the Government)
- flexible pension (when you leave, you can transfer everything
  to your RRSP, yes, even the employer contributions!)
- flexibility to leave employ on relatively short notice, and
  getting access to your pension or cash in lieu

If you have 10 or more years experience in the Canadian Federal
Government and are considering leaving before 7 May 1999,
please view http://www.amb.ca/pension and fill out the on-line
questionnaire / application.

Some jobs are posted at http://www.amb.ca/divisions/hr. If
you don't see a job for you there, don't despair, give us a
call.

With the hiring of each new Ultimate employee (or their parents
or friends or neighbour or ...), AMB Inc. will support the Ottawa
Carleton Ultimate Association by purchasing shares of the new
land development.
- When we hire the FIRST person, AMB will buy 1 share.
- When we hire the SECOND person, AMB will buy ANOTHER TWO shares.
- When we hire the THIRD person, AMB will buy ANOTHER THREE shares.
- etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc etc
- When we hire the TENTH person, AMB will buy ANOTHER TEN
  shares (so by this time, will have bought 10 + 9 + 8 + 7 +
  6 + 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 55 shares and the Ottawa Carleton
  Ultimate Association will have been closer to the financing
  of the land by $11k).
