Applications invited for Exchange

Friday, December 11 is the deadline for applications
from women students who are interested in
spending a term working and studying at Aichi
Gakusen College in Toyota, Japan.

Capilano College and Aichi Gakusen established a
special relationship in 1983 which provides for the
exchange of students between us. Established in
1912, Aichi Gakusen is one of the oldest women’s
schools in Japan. Its curriculum focuses on
International Education, Early Childhood Education,
Nutritional Studies, Fine Arts, Fashion Design and
Textiles.

The exchange provides for two women students to
study at A.G. for one term commencing in
September 1988. The students receive a
scholarship of Y750,000 (U.S. $4,500), airfare, anda
special program of studies. In return, the students
assist Aichi Gakusen Faculty in teaching four
classes per week in conversational English.

The students will be selected by a committee of
Capilano faculty, who are particularly concerned with
a statement of how an International experience fits
into the applicant’s career goals, and her willingness
to prepare in terms of both language and culture for
a stay in Japan.

Any student who wants further information should
contact Jackie Walker, Secretary to the Dean of
Instructional Services, at local 2922 (984-4922).
Applicants must declare their interest in writing to the
Japanese Exchange Committee, c/o Instructional
Services Division, by Friday, December 11, 1987.
The Committee will start interviews in late January.

Copier Demos

Are you confused by the array of buttons and shining
lights on our new photocopiers? Most of the
photocopier demonstrations have been provided, but
there are still a couple coming up. On Tuesday,
November 24 at 1:00 pm there will be a demo of the
photocopier on H building, Level V. For those who
live on level IV, that copier will be demonstrated
Tuesday the 24th at 1:45 and again on Thursday the
26th at 4:45 pm.

Those two photocopiers are Konica 2803s, which
are the same as the one on the ground floor of A
building, so if you missed that demo you could
always try crashing one in H building. Incidentally,
your /nformer editor is proud to report that she has
already managed to jam the A building main floor
machine so badly that Dave Callow had to take it
apart with a screwdriver. Score: Technology 0,
