Varsity focus (December 1992)

Abstract

From the Editors Desk: As 1992 comes to a close Varsity Focus would like to take this opportunity to wish all members of staff and the student community a Merry Christmas and a Happy Prosperous New Year. Thecommencement of a new year generally comes with a Iotof'introspection as one savours the achievements and successes and reflects on the failures of the past year. For us at the University, though 1992 has not been all smooth sailing it has . had its' momentous and glorious times. The Varsity Focus captures some of these J .iornents for you: the Tree Planting Day; the Inauguration of Kibwezi Irrigation Project; the Silver Jubilee Celebrations by the Faculty of Medicine; Graduation Ceremony; and the numerous awards won by the University from participating in shows, games, festivals and other events which were covered in earlier issues of the Varsity Focus. IIA time to harvest" the headline and running theme of this last issue of the year is therefore apt. A good "harvest" is usually a result of toil, sweat and sometimes tears as one tends to harvest what is planted. We therefore congratulate all those involved in the numerous preparation and organisation which led to the good harvest for the university. And as the old adage goes "we reap what we sow". As we enter 1993, the Varsity Focus would like to pledge better and regular coverageof events and issues on the University. The Varsity Focus will be published quarterly with special issues coming out from time to time when necessary. The Fa rsity Focus is also working out modali ties and strategies to keep you informed with a monthly despatch which will be distributed through the colleges ac.ministration. The Editor, welcomes contributions and information from the University Community on events and issues pertinent to the University. The Varsity Focus would also like to know what is taking place in all areas so as to give better coverage; so send a note or just telephone. We shall try our best to be there.
