2008 to Dec 24. The KU announced that the forms and fee could be submitted from
Dec 22 to 24 with a late fee of Rs1,000.

campus. Ppi
Walkathons for exams
Karachi: The University of Karachi students of Evening Program are having their papers
nowadays. The students face a lot of problem reaching the examination rooms
because of all public and private transport having been barred from entering the
university. The restriction was imposed after a nerve-wrecking situational
crisis after which the security measures had to be fortified. There is no
conveyance available now inside the university for students and they have to
walk a fair distance to reach to their respective departments.
This distance
can be as short as 1 km or as long as 3km. The students are, naturally, turning
up late for exams. I request the university administration to solve this problem
and provide a shuttle facility for students of the Evening Program at the very
least. We need this bad if we are to reach for our exams on time. Daily Times

KU Visual Studies Department displays theses
Karachi: Nearly 37 students from five disciplines, including Architecture,
Communication Design, Fine Arts, Industrial Design and Textile Design, at the
University of Karachi (KU) Visual Studies (VS) Department displayed their final
year theses on December 20 and 21.
Thirteen Textile Design students
displayed their work. Many students designed apparels ranging from saris to
shalwar qameez. Syed Danyal Ahmed stood out with his series of crew neck shirts.
His series used images of figurines found in Mayan pyramids and other designs
relating to the Mayans.
Javeria Rasool designed dolls representing
characters from the Arabian Nights. She had not only made the figurines herself,
but had also needle enveloped them in sock and other fabric, painted them for
effects and then designed and made their costumes. She said that had she had
more time to finish her work, she would have made an entire army, much like the
terracotta army of the Emperor of Qin.
Javeria Shahid of Textile Design
created wall panels on paper. Measuring four feet by six feet, these panels were
inspired by African dances and the Masai tribes. Shahid did not use printed
curtains, because they had been a mainstay of exhibitions in the past and she
wanted to change this trend. Given a large platform to exhibit, many of her
works looked more like paintings from a distance, and the fact that they partly
were paintings, enhanced their appeal and novelty.
Five students
presented their work in the Industrial Design section. Shafaq Gull had a
multi-purpose playground-cum-bed-cum-stuffed toy storage bed set. The bed,
comprised a puzzle mattress, overhead monkey bars, a cargo net ladder, a slide,
a rocking bed and a seesaw, all in a single package of four feet by seven feet
by six feet, which could easily fit in an average apartment room in
Karachi.
S. Maqbool Anwer of Industrial Design presented his creation of
an innovative trolley system. The trolley's main feature is its unique wheel and
axle system. The axle features a set of small wheels next to each other, placed
at right angles to the line of centre of gravity. The axle moves in a vertical
plane, meaning it can tilt the wheels up and down allowing it to have a smoother
journey on stairs going downwards atleast. The overall weight of the trolley,
however may pose a problem when it is loaded and pushed down a flight of stairs.
Operators would need to be on their toes to control them.
Four students
of fine arts had displayed their work. Umme Aiman Kazmi used photography, her
love, extensively to create pictures with an interesting outlook. She created
her images by taking a photograph and then flipping them on a horizontal and
vertical axis to give a kaleidoscopic effect.
Thirteen students of
Communication Design exhibited their works. Many of these were based on
sociopolitical themes, creating visual messages in the form of adverts, or
signboards. Some even made flip-through coffee-table books that displayed their
capabilities. Ayman had made a book of photographs of old buildings of Pakistan,
including the Rani Kot Fort, the Sheikhupura Fort, and the Lahore Fort. The News

Pakistan Medical Association (PMA) wants end to admission quota system
Karachi: The Pakistan Medical Association (PMA) has urged the
government to end the admission quota for the children of judges, armed forces
officers, and other officials in medical colleges of the country.
The
general secretary of the PMA, Karachi chapter, Dr Samrina Hashmi, said this
while addressing a news conference after the concluding session of the 28th
medical conference organised by the PMA here on Saturday.
Dr Hashmi
demanded admission to all medical colleges only on merit basis. She also urged
the government departments concerned to formulate a health policy in
consultation with the PMA.
She said admissions to all medical colleges
should be held on a fixed date instead of different dates and months.
She
stressed the need for an equal standard of education at private and government
medical colleges.
Salaries of doctors should be raised in order to stop
them from moving abroad, she observed.
She also called for improvement in
training courses of paramedical staff, saying that the courses should be based
on modern scientific principles.
Over 150 research theses were presented
at the conference.
A large number of doctors from all over the country
and from the US, Australia, South Africa and Middle East countries attended the
conference.
Dr Mohammad Sarwar Chaudhry, Dr Habibur Rahman Soomro, Dr
Qaisar Sajjad, Dr Aziz Khan Tank and others were also present. Ppi

Our nation is good... our leaders are poor: NED VC
Karachi: NED University of Engineering and Technology Vice-Chancellor
(VC), Engineer Abul Kalam says that he does not agree with the current method of
recruiting the VCs in public sector universities through a search committee.
The committee might not select the right person as some other criteria
such as seniority could be the main reason for selection but that person might
not be a good administrator. Kalam, 86, who has been given the extension for the
fourth time, a record in our part of the world, is still quite active and alert
with even minute details not escaping his sharp mind. He had not applied for an
extension and the Select Committee had forwarded two other names to Sindh
Governor, Ishratul Ebad Khan. The governor, however, chose to retain him for the
fourth time.
Kalam spoke in his office in a crisp tone,
oozing confidence and an easy disposition. "I came here [to NED] by accident,"
he says jokingly. "I am basically a 'Railway Man'. I joined the Indian State
Railway in 1940, underwent extensive training in Jamalpur, Bihar. I opted for
Pakistan and retired as the Pakistan Railways Secretary in 1983. In 1996, Sindh
Governor, Barrister Kamal Azfar asked me to join the NED as a VC," he said,
recounting his unusual journey from a railway man to the VC of a
university.
The selection proved fruitful because Kalam extricated the
NED University from political mire and indiscipline. Student politics was
harming the educational environment of one of the best engineering universities
of Pakistan. He shies away when it is suggested that he used his charismatic
personality and inbuilt discipline – an inseparable part of his life, to work
miracles in the university. "Well! I found that teaching and non-teaching staff
and the students were good and willing to do their assigned jobs. They only
needed some discipline and example from the top brass," he says modestly. After
some thought, he adds: "Our nation is good. Our leaders are poor".
Kalam
is an engineer and holds a Masters degree in Mathematics, had no formal training
as an administrator, especially for a university but his lifestyle reminds one
of military training. "I had chosen Assam Bengal Railway as my preferred railway
zone as I was fascinated by the area. This railway zone was taken over by the
military for moving its arms and ammunition during the Second World War. I had
to don the military uniform as a second-lieutenant for three months," he
explains.
He credits his father, a medical doctor, for his regulated
life. "I was only four when my mother died. My father brought me up and remained
a widower for 47 years. I used to wake up at five in the morning, light my lamp,
and study all the subjects, followed by my three tutors. My father sent me to
school at four in the afternoon for games only. I passed my senior Cambridge
examination at 11 and Intermediate at 13 ? and earned my Masters at the age of
17 from the University of Madras." Nostalgia for his alma mater nudges him to
say proudly that though the name of Madras city and the state have been changed
to Chennai and Tamil Nadu respectively, only the University of Madras and Madras
High Court have retained their old names.
Reverting to NED, he says: "We
are generous with the fee matters. We help the students. A meritorious student
is never denied his right to acquire one of the finest engineering educations
because of his poverty. We are stringent with the marking system. Regarding
discipline, he made it clear that there could not be any sectarian or ethnic
politics in the university. "We have a rule: Politics outside the campus.
Students are free to hold their programmes under the Controller of the Student
Affairs. We have the best students. Our admission system is one of the best in
Pakistan," he points out proudly.
The able administration of Kalam has
enabled the university to complete the courses on time. Results are on time and
convocations are held every year. It is very different from the lawlessness that
prevailed in the university before his arrival. Rangers at the university have a
low-key presence and are under the control of the university administration. The News
