Police investigating suspicious death

Hamilton, May 29, 2000 -- On Saturday, 27 May 2000, at approximately 12:30 p.m., Clara Fali was found in her apartment by friends. Fali was reported to have been last seen on Friday, 19 May 2000, by a colleague from McMaster University where Fali does research work in biochemistry. Fali was to attend Calgary on Friday, 26 May 2000, but was not found on her pre-arranged flight by friends who were at the airport to pick her up. The Calgary friends grew concerned and contacted common friends in Hamilton to check on Fali. This is when she was found in her apartment. Emergency staff attended the apartment to find Fali deceased. A post-mortem has been performed and investigators are awaiting further testing from the Centre of Forensic Science before a cause of death can be determined. Police are asking for assistance from any persons who may have known Fali or of persons who have knowledge of her movements in the past two weeks. Detective Ray Rikic is the lead investigator and can be contacted at 546-3827.

Proposal developed to address concerns about Mactron

The President's Advisory Committee on Community Relations held its annual community meeting last night (May 24) at St. Mary's High School and President Peter George took the opportunity to discuss the proposal he will be sending forward to the University's Board of Governors with regard to the ongoing operation of the Mactron, the University's new video message centre and scoreboard. "I recognize that this has been a source of irritation to many people on and off campus," said President George. "It has also been difficult to tell people what we have been doing because we have contractual obligations that we have needed to sort through. However, we believe we now have the agreement of both parties, we have consulted the major stakeholders, and we believe we will soon be in a position to take a formal proposal to the Planning and Building Committee of the Board of Governors about the Mactron."
