14 Years Ago at Capilano College

COLLEGE OPERATING BUDGET APPROVED

The big news of this last week was that
the operating budget for 1972-1973 (the
one we have actually been operating on for
three weeks) has been approved by Victoria
without a cut. This means approval of the
budget request as last negotiated with the
departmental officials, with no reduction.

AUDIO VISUAL PRODUCTION PROGRAM DISPLAY
This last Monday, April 17, the Audio
Visual Program put on a professional day
at Frank Bakers to show the College and
public, especially future employers, just
what they are doing in the program. The
enthusiasm of the participants helped make
up for a disappointing turnout.

GRANTS

Brian White, our resident Geographer, had
applied for a grant (in his capacity as a
student at SFU) to survey Indian middens
on the west coast of Nootka Island. Having
been turned down, he now informs us he has
accepted a commission from the National
Parks Branch to survey historic sites in
the Port Renfrew to Bamfield (the life
saving trail) section of the new Pacific
Rim National Park.

FRENCH STUDENT WINS PRIZE

Frank Reid has produly brought to our
attention the fact that one of the French
students, John Chamberlin, has won a $300
Alliance Francaise prize. The prize was
awarded John after he beat out Douglas and
Vancouver City College students in a
competition on oral French ability. John
has just completed his fourth semester at
the college and hopes to put his prize
money towards travel and study in France.

DONNER STUDY AVAILABLE

Student Services reports that they have
just received a copy of Report #3 of the
Donner Study entitled "The Impact of
Community Colleges - Opinions, Survey and
Tabulation of Responses". Apparently this
is quite an extensive tabular report from
an opinion questionnaire given to all
students entering post-secondary education
in B.C. in Fall 1971. There are two copies
of the report, one in the Media Centre and
the other in Student Services. As there is
a very wide range of opinions solicited in
the survey, it should be of interest to
many College faculty and staff.

COLOPHON

The Informer is published sporadically,
but with high hopes of weekliness, by
Information Services, A118 or local
323 and 324. Submissions are more than
welcome. Photos are generally the work
of Dave Sharrock and Edna Sakata in
MPC, printing is done by Linda Givens
and Dave Callow in the Print Shop, and
the distribution is handled by the
denizens of the Switchboard and Typing
Pool. We reserve the right to deny
absolutely everything unless it's tax
deductible.
