An opening ceremony hosted by pro- vice-chancellor Prof. Ambrose King will be held at 4.30 p.m. on 21st January. With the Jianghan Plain of Hubei as its centre, the Jianghan Region is an important ancient cultural site along the Yangtze River. From the 1950s, apart from the discovery of fossils and cultural relics of the Palaeolithic period, Neolithic cultures have been found distributed over a massive area in distinct chronological order. Relics of the Shang and Zhou dynasties in the region reveal the predominance of the influence of Central China as shown in the ritual systems, writings, and bronzes. Those of the late Spring and Autumn period indicate that the Jianghan Region was almost completely under the influence of Chu culture, with some regional variations. During the Warring States period, Jianghan culture, with its complicated and delicate bronzes as well as colouful lacquerwares and textiles, became the representation of southern Chinese culture. The 98 exhibits on display date from the late Palaeolithic period of 50,000- 40,000 BP to the late Warring States period of 3rd century BC and include stone implements, pottery, jades, bronzes, gold wares, lacquerwares, and textiles. To go with the exhibition, the Art Museum will organize a half-day conference on 25th January from 2.30 to 5.00 p.m. in Room 124 of the Institute of Chinese Studies. The speakers are scholars from three participating museums and the lectures will be conducted in putonghua. 乙類及丙類服務條例年假規例 Annual Leave Schemes for Staff Members on Terms of Service (B) and (C) 校董會通過由一九九八年十二月一日起修訂「乙」類及「丙」類服務條例年假規 例。凡於一九九八年十二月一日或以後按「乙」類或「丙」類服務條例或相類服務條 件受聘者,均需按該規例支取年假。為方便管理,部分修訂亦適用於現職僱員。主 要的修訂如下︰ (一)現職及新受聘僱員的假期賺取率維持不變; (二)取消以往劃一的假期年。僱員的假期年將以受僱年期為基礎,即以其到職日 期起計連續十二個月為首個假期年,如此類推(現職僱員可選擇是否接受這 項修訂); (三)年假累積將按受僱日數計算,以取代現行按受僱月數計算(現職僱員可選擇 是否接受這項修訂); (四)僱員獲批准可累積的年假不得多於該年應得年假減去十天。而累積年假不得 超過大學規例所規定累積年假的最高限額(新受聘僱員適用); (五)僱員於離職時,可獲年假代金以代替累積年假(現職及新受聘僱員均適用)。 查詢請致電人事處內線七二九二或七二三零。 The University Council has recently approved the revision of the annual leave schemes for staff members on Terms of Service (B) and (C) and equivalent terms with effect from 1st December 1998.
