HIGHLY RECOMMENDED is the display of Con-
temporary Paintings and Calligraphy from
the Republic of China being shown now in
the Art Gallery. It will be here until
March 7, and it's well worth your while to
go and see it. Incidentally, we are the
only Canadian institution to show this ex-
hibition, by virtue of our membership in
the Pacific Northwest International Inter-
cultural Consortium which has college and
university members from Idaho, Washington,
Oregon and Alaska. Dr. Jardine put in the
bid for us to receive the artwork and Ted
Kingan and Anne Rosenberg coordinated the
show. Again, go see it--it's great.

Are you

If you are into birds, exercise’, and fresh
air, you might be interested in a fairly
strenuous hike through Squamish Valley
bird habitats with B.C. naturalist and or-
nithologist Jorma Jyrkkanen March 1, 10 to
2, no experience necessary. This will be
repeated March 22, April 5, May 3, June 21
September 6 and 20, and October 18. (The
birds will have no privacy.) On the other
hand, you might be a little more energetic
and want to get in on Helicopter Cross-
Country Skiing Expeditions leaving ‘from
Pemberton. Beginners will go March 28/29,
April 4/5, and April 11/12/13; Intermedi-
ates leave April 14.15/16 and April 18/19/
20. Fees for skiing range from $156 to 200
for the sets, including tents, stove, hel-
icopter and instruction (Roger Griffiths),
but food is extra. For more’ information,
on either of the programs, call local 328.

Thinking of metricating your students? Our
energetic Metric Workshop organizer, Wanda
Tilley, has put together a team of five
instructors who have taken the training
and are offering to convert unbelievers to
the System. If you would like to have 1 of
these people to adapt a metric workshop to
your program, give them a call anda $50
brtbe guest speaker honorarium: Janice
Banks, BTSD, Pat Hodgson, BTSD, Cam McKie,
Bus. Mgmt., Laurin Mair, C.Ed., and Pamela
Salusbury, BTCD. This, says Wanda, is an
investment too good to ignore! Of course
if you have no students to metricate, but
have metricated yourself, you are eligible
to attend the wine and cheese party Friday
March 6 in the All College Lounge from 4pm
to 6:30. To be admitted you must attend
one metric workshop (at least) or complete
the metric quiz which was attached to the
Informer a few weeks ago. Otherwise, the
Unmerciful Tilley threatens, you will have
to bring your own litre of wine. But she
makes a good point. ''Don't miss this one--
should be fun and its on the government.
Besides, faculty, staff and admin. don't
mingle much -- it is a good opportunity to
meetricate.''
