PU girls artwork showcase
Lahore: The Alhamra Art Gallery was host to the work of 19 female artists from
the Punjab University College of Art and Design on Friday. 'Incognito – unwrap
yourself', as the display was dubbed, showcased the final theses of MA
final-year students. Exploring various social, cultural and even
psychological themes, the artists had depicted their interpretation of subjects
and emotions such as 'Sufferings', 'Black Magic', 'Present and Future of
Pakistan' and 'Sufism' among others. Students' research and ideas shone through
in the work, which were set apart by the variety of technique on display.
Although subjects overlapped and were neither novel nor unique, most subjects
were easy to relate to. From escapism to innocence, spirituality to childhood,
class divisions in society and prostitution, the thesis display was a melting
pot of ideas and emotions and everyday situations. PU Vice Chancellor Dr
Mujahid Kamran, who inaugurated exhibit, said the university's Art and Design
department had been neglected and many batches had graduated without receiving
any encouragement for their work. The VC said all art societies, cultural
complexes and art councils had developed under liberal democratic governments,
such as that of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. College of
Art and Design Principal Rahat Masood reflected on how security concerns had
reduced the scope of art and culture in our society and students' talent was a
proof that they were sensitive, creative and responsive. "Students – through
different exercises – are exposed to diverse ideas and concepts because many
students find it hard to escape the close-mindedness inculcated in them by a
conservative society," she said. Kahkashan Javed, Head of Painting department,
praised the students' efforts and said the students had worked hard to make
their portfolios a success. "We promised them if their thesis paintings were
impressive, we would hold an exhibition. I am glad they have proven themselves,"
she said smiling.

LUMS students set new standards in emergency response
Lahore: Giving a new dimension to the ongoing struggle to cope with terrorism,
student volunteers from the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) have
been trained in rescuing people and giving them emergency medical relief in the
hour of crisis. The first batch of rescuers developed by an educational
institution on a voluntarily basis comprises of 12 students, including 4 women.
They have not only passed their professional training, given to the recruits of
rescue 1122, but are all set to launch a small-scale rescue response team for
the university campus as well as for the surrounding
areas. The LUMS management has set up a hotline on their PABX system, so
people can call these volunteers in case of an emergency. These volunteers have
already demonstrated their skills in different sports events on campus, mock
drills as well as a professional competition of rescuers organised recently by
the Rescue 1122. The university management has also developed an
Emergency Management Services (EMS) club inside the campus to spread awareness
about the importance of emergency relief training. This would not only help the
volunteers rescue students inside the campus but also give them an opportunity
to serve humanity if a natural calamity like the 2005 earthquake hits the
country. The administration of LUMS has fully supported its students in
this regard and has assigned them an office on campus to perform their
services.The 12-member rescue team is well equipped, and can treat
everything from treating minor injuries or medical problems to providing
life-saving care to patients. They are also trained to properly assist those
with critical injuries and transport them to hospitals in an ambulance if
needed. LUMS EMS Head, Babar Asad Khan said that 12 BS Honours
students including eight boys and four girls got the emergency rescue training
at Rescue 1122 training centres and they are trained to deal with emergencies
like bomb blasts, earthquakes, fire incidents etc. He said they have expanded
their network by setting up a volunteers club on campus, and already more than a
hundred students have joined this club. EMS Advisor Zubair Anees said
that he and his colleagues have learnt how to provide a wide spectrum of
emergency care, including oxygen therapy, bleeding control, automated
defibrillation, and assistance with basic medications. One of the rescuers Rania
Nasir said that she realised that women could also play a pivotal
role in rescue missions, so she came forward as a volunteer. "I knew
right from the beginning that it would not be easy for me to complete this
training, but I decided it was worth doing for the sake of humanity, that is why
I joined the first ever batch of professional rescuers," she said, urging other
universities to do the same. LUMS Vice Chancellor Dr Ahmad Jaan Durrani said
that these students were trained to cope with any emergency
situation. Daily times

BISE employees strike continue
Lahore: The Employees Welfare Association of the Board of Intermediate
& Secondary Education (BISE), Lahore, continued its pen-down strike on third
consecutive day on Friday, protesting against the non-issuance of grants to the
boards by the government. The Lahore board employees, like the employees
of seven other BISEs, are on strike on the call of the Employees Federation of
Educational Boards Punjab (EFEBP) and protesting against the non issuance of
grants to the boards in the wake of the chief minister's decision to abolish
examination and registration fees of public sector educational institutions'
students. In a press statement issued here, BISE Lahore's Employees Welfare
Association president Aslam Gujjar and General Secretary Ikram ul Haq said the
government had, in fact, overburdened the boards after giving fee-waiver to the
students. They said conduct of exams and remuneration to the examination staff
was given out of students' fee. "How will the boards bear all this if they are
not allowed to receive fee from the students? they asked. They said the BISEs
employees had a meeting with the Higher Education secretary on August 3, 2009
who had assured that the grants would be issued to the boards. "It is
unfortunate that despite the passage of four months no grant have been given to
the boards", they added.

Librarians demanded uniform pay scales
Lahore: The Punjab chapter of All Pakistan Library Staff Association
(APLSA) said it was concerned over disparity in basic pay scales (BPS) of
assistant librarians of the government sector colleges of the
province. In a press release, the body's Punjab convener, Muhammad
Shahbaz Ahmed, said the government had completely ignored library staff as they
had been denied upgradation of posts similar as to the clerks, teachers and
laboratory staff. He said it was strange that despite having similar
qualifications and workload assistant librarians of government colleges were
working in different pay scale. "Some are working in BPS-5, BPS-6, BPS-7 and
BPS-12 and some even in BPS-16", he claimed, adding "It is unfortunate that the
government has failed to ensure a uniform pay scale for them". The news
