宣 布 事 項 ANNOUNCEMENTS Getting Prepared for the New Millennium A Y2K Information Centre (YIC) The YIC will operate from 00.00 1st January to 24.00 3rd January 2000. You can call the Y IC at 2603 7623 or 2603 7854 should you need any general Y 2K information or have any questions on the operation status of centrally managed computer systems and networks. Details of the operation of the YIC can be found on the Y2K homepage ( http://www.cuhk. edu.hk/y2k/) . Systems Security Measures During Y2K Rollover There are reasons to believe that hackers may heavily invade computer systems during the Y2K rollover period. Colleagues are advised to take the following precautionary security measures for their computer systems which are connected to the Internet (in our case, through the Campus Backbone Network) before the arrival of the new millennium: • Change passwords. • Install system security patches. • Use the most updated virus scanner to scan for and eliminate vims. • Eliminate unnecessary system services that are potentially accessible to hackers. • Shutdown systems before you leave the office for the New Year holidays. (This is a single most effective step to take against hackers during the Y2K rollover period.)

Safety Policy To enhance safety awareness of the University community, the first Safety Circular was issued on 18th November 1999 to all departments/units. Highlights in this circular include cost-effective remedies for indoor air quality problems, computer mice, self-score on safe practices, and chemical safety. The University Safety Office will continue to issue a series of circulars at regular intervals. Comments and suggestions are most welcome and may be directed to the Safety Manager of the University Safety Office. A copy of the Safety Policy and the mission statement signed by the vice-chancellor are appended to the circular. The mission statement shows the dedication of the University to cultivating a positive safety culture through the concerted efforts of all departments/ units. Those who wish to obtain further copies of the policy document and the mission statement may contact the University Safet y Office at Ext. 7958 or download the information from their homepage at http://www.cuhk.edu.hk/uls/. Department chairs/unit heads are regarded as 'duty holders' in the safety legislation and can be held personally liable if there is breach of due diligence. This is not limited to laboratory-based activities but also includes non-laboratory-related activities such as manual handling operation, clearing fire egress routes, and using chemicals. It is, therefore, the duty of each and every department/unit to ensure safety in its workplace. Department chairs/unit heads are urged to appoint safety coordinators to oversee safety matters and to serve as the point of contact with the University Safety Office. Small units that choose to be affiliated with other major departments/units should inform the University Safety Office of such arrangements. 大學游泳池停止開放 Swimming Pool News 大學游泳池已由十二月一日起停止開放，進行周年維修工程。重新開放日 期容後公布。 The University swimming pool will be closed from 1st December 1999 to April 2000 for annual maintenance.
