Dear colleague, Many of you will be aware of the tragic loss of Professor Derek Donald in a car accident earlier this year. His death has left an enormous gap and I am looking for a star to fill the position. The official announcement as supplied to the press is: POSITION ANNOUNCEMENT Professor - Silviculture University of Stellenbosch Duties: Teaching of under-graduate and post-graduate students, research and research supervision. Requirements: A doctorate in Forestry or related direction with specialization in Silviculture.

Closing date: 20 August 1993 Enquiries: Professor Brian Bredenkamp Department of Forest Science Faculty of Forestry University of Stellenbosch 7600 Stellenbosch SOUTH AFRICA Tel: (27-2231) 773295 Fax: (27-2231) 773603 Stellenbosch is a small university town about 45 minutes from Cape Town. The town is nestled against the Hottentots Holland Mountains and is surrounded by vineyards. The sea is about 25 km (15 miles away). The Faculty of Forestry is also relatively small with departments of Forest Science, Wood Science and Nature Conservation, producing fewer than 25 graduates in all per annum. The person who gets the appointment will automatically be head of the siviculture section with two senior lecturers and support staff under him. The section has a well-equipped lab with laminar flow, microkjeldahl and X-ray equipment, a nursery, herbarium, growth room et cetera et cetera. If you have any interest, let me know and I shall forward a brochure telling you more about the university. Please don't be too anxious for a reply - my winter vacation starts within days and by this weekend I'll be in the Kruger National Park and only back in office around the twelfth or so.
