THE INFORMER PAGE 2 NOVEMBER 8, 1989 Soccer Teams on the Ball The Women's soccer team came home with a silver medal from the BCCAA games in Nanaimo over the weekend. The Blues beat Malaspina College 2 - 0 on Saturday, and kept VCC down to one goal on Sunday. (The score was 1 - 0.) The Men's soccer team is off to the CCAA nationals this week for the second year in a row, and second year student Mark Watson has been named to the All Canadian team. This year's team is very young with only two players returning from last year's national championship team, reports coach Joe Iacobellis, adding, "But they are playing very well, and may surprise everyone at the championships.” Quaking in your boots? If the San Francisco quake, shook you up, refer to page 37 of the City phone directory, and take some precautionary measures, and watch for the next Cap Courier. Our student paper has been working hard at unearthing the grim scenario of what would happen at Cap if we suffered a 6.9 lateral quake. "Anatomy of the Inevitable” will be in the November 14 issue. The Electronic Book The electronic age is truly upon us.

CAPILANO COLLEGE THEATRE, ROOM R105 @eeeeeeoeveoceeeoeseeoeceeseeee eee eae eeeaesse @eeseeeseeeosceevoesese esse easeeeoeeeseseeeee ee 8 New Program begins in January International Business The Business Management Department has been busy planning a new onslaught into the business world. Responding to a strong message from the community, the department has come up with the International Business program which will train business people in the management of international trade. "We're filling a gap in the market," says program convenor Anne Watson, who with a committee of seven, has devised the eight-month program. "It will be totally focussed on business," she says. "In eight months, we can't waste anyone's time." Anne expects they will attract a cross-section of people from the international departments of major corporations, the Ministry of International Business, freight forwarders, and more. “Many people find themselves suddenly dealing with international business, and they don't have the required skills. You know what happens when you have to learn on the job." The program, taught by BSMG instructors and some high- powered experts from the community, will focus on the Canada- U.S. trade relationship and on our growing trade with South East Asia. Students will be trained in the day-to-day practise of international business, studying customs, international banking, and more. A course in International Trade Opportunities and Strategies will be taught entirely by guest speakers and may interest members of the College community. Notice of upcoming speakers will be announced in the Jnformer. Anne says this program has been on the "back burner” for a long time. "Jon Jessiman planted the seed years ago,” she said. "It fits with the high profile Cap has in international education." Overseas Education Office The first Canadian overseas education information office has been opened in Kuala Lumpur. The Education Canada office is a joint venture of the Association of Canadian Community Colleges, the Canadian Bureau of International Education, and the World University Service of Canada. Funded for an initial three-year period by CIDA, the program is designed to provide Malaysians with information about study opportunities in Canada. It is hoped the presence of the office will encourage exchanges between Malaysia and Canada. Our Busy Singers Five students in the Capilano College Singers were awarded with scholarships and invited to join the Vancouver Chamber Choir in concert on October 28 at Queens Avenue United Church in New Westminster. The students, Lynne McKimm, Megan Latham, Peter Kennedy, Christopher Doran and Christopher Tietz were awarded $100 for their "strong musicianship, good sight reading and vocal quality". (Their scholarship money was raised in a recital given by choir director Lars Kaario last spring.) There are now 31 Capilano Singers, and the newly formed Cap College Community Choir has over 70 members. Both choirs will perform a benefit concert to raise funds for the Canadian Guide Dogs for the Blind on November 5. The end-of-term concert, featuring the combined choirs accompanied by pipe organ and some sing-along Christmas carols, will be on December 8 at St. Andrew’s United Church.
