y of Social Sciences in Australia, a Fellow of the Australian Psychological Society, former Chair of the National Committee for Psychology (Academy of Science) and a past president of the Society for Psychophysiological Research.

He was a member of the Social Sciences and Humanities Panel of the Australian Research Council (ARC) from 1991 to 1994 and chaired the panel in 1993 and 1994. Professor Siddle was also a deputy chair of the ARC's Research Grants Committee in 1994.

A University of Queensland graduate (1966) with first-class honours in psychology, he has worked at Southampton University in the UK from 1971 to 1983, and during that period was a visiting professor at the University of Ottawa, Canada.

Professor Siddle was at Macquarie University from 1983 to 1988, at the University of Tasmania in 1989/1990 where he was professor of psychology and Head of Department, then joined the University of Queensland in the same role.

Professor Siddle holds several current Australian Research Council grants in the fields of cognitive and emotional factors in human conditioning and the application of conditioning principles to psycho-pathology.

He has written two books, and contributed 15 chapters and 97 journal articles.
to examine patients, good communicators, able to work within a dental health team, and at the same time show the high level of manual dexterity necessary for clinical dentistry.

'Clearly, all dental schools are responsible not only for providing students with a sound basis of knowledge and skills, but also preparing them for future changes.'

Professor Seymour said the chair of general practice dentistry would be the profession's position. It would create new links between the School, the profession and the dental industry by opening up communication channels to effectively transmit the profession's needs to the School.

The University had formally taught in the field of general practice dentistry since 1987. The concept was to bring all areas of dentistry together within one clinical area and to ensure students provided a total care approach to their patients.

'The changing oral health status and age distribution of various populations will have a significant influence on the content and emphasis of dental education for the future,' he said.

'Oral health changes have included a substantial reduction in dental caries, a reduced number of patients with few surviving teeth, an increased interest in aesthetic dentistry, and in geriatric and orthodontic care.

'In addition, there is a definite trend towards the practice of minimal intervention dentistry.

'With more patients retaining teeth longer, a number of procedures are becoming more common, such as periodontal treatments, and treatments of worn teeth, root caries, partial dentures, crowns and bridgework. Students require an increased exposure to these procedures so they can understand treatment planning with respect to patients' needs and concerns.'

Professor Seymour said the University's Dental School had recognised trends predicted for the 21st century, and the need to focus on general practice teaching throughout the course. Last year it had agreed to the introduction of a stream of dental practice subjects through each year of the undergraduate course, from second year.

To ensure teaching continued to keep up with the changing needs of dentistry, the School was developing partnerships with the profession, involving enthusiastic and knowledgable staff, and ensuring students were treated as professional colleagues.

Australian Dental Association Queensland branch president Dr Pat Jackman said establishment of the chair was a great achievement in its own right. The position would assist the University to attract further research students and grants, and enhance the general practice standard of graduating dentists.

of his studies, he developed his own composition method based on mathematics. The method, related to Chaos Theory, was first used around 40 years ago. The end result of Mr Grantham's adaptation is what he terms an 'anti-symphony' as it is not based on conventional symphonic composition rules. He was the only student focusing on composition as a principal study in his year. During his University years, Mr Grantham played the viola as part of the University of Queensland Symphony Orchestra. He also plays the instrument for the Queensland Youth Symphony Orchestra which toured Japan and Korea earlier this year. Contact: telephone 3378 1649.
