Academic students make their mark at SFU

A former Capilano student made a superb
showing when all the marks were in at SFU
this spring. Diana Dorey, who graduated
from Windsor and spent two years taking
Social Sciences courses here before
transfering to SFU, was the winner of the
Commonwealth scholarship which will take
her to Cambridge this fall. Ironically,
Dorey went to Cap because her GPA wasn't
good enough to go straight to SFU—when
she graduated with her BA in Criminology
her cumulative GPA was 4.08 and her final
semester GPA was 4.33.

Cap participates in SC development

Capilano College has been maintaining a
high profile on the Sunshine Coast through
our participation in the Economic
Development Commission and the Tourism
Task Force. Bruce Mosely, Business
Management instructor, was Acting Chairman
of the regional Economic Development
Commission meeting in August. Also on the
commission are Gibsons and Sechelt
aldermen, representatives of both the
Gibsons and Sechelt Chambers of Commerce
and a representative of the Joint Council
of Trade Unions. According to the Coast
News report, "the primary pre-occupation
of the regional EDC remains the Community

Futures program of theFederal Government.
The program calls for the setting up of an
independent corporation which will provide
risk capital for local ventures which have
been approved for support."

Qutdoor Recreation instructor Brian White
has been very active in the Tourism Task
Force which also met in August in Sechelt.
About 30 people attended the meeting and
struck working committees on Marketing,
Funding, Area Resources, Community
Relations and Government Relations. Among
the people on the task force are
representatives from local businesses,

the Sunshine Coast Tourism Association,

_ the Chambers of Commerce, and local motels
and hotels. White has been named to the
three person coordinating committee. The
task force will be working on developing a
comprehensive tourism plan for the
Sunshine Coast.

Also featured in SFU Week this summer was
Sarah Carroll, a single parent who started
her studies here and then transfered to
SFU to complete her BA in 1980. During the
day she works in the loans department of
the SFU library, and by night she is

now Chairman of the Burnaby School Board,
having been on the Board since 1983. She
has also been on the executive of AUCE
(the Association of University and College
‘Employees) at SFU.

Art exhibit transformed cafe

"The cafeteria will never be the same
after this," commented Spanish instructor
Conchita Furstenwald. "This" was the

North Shore Clay, Fibre and Native Arts -
Expo 86 exhibition that was held in the
west section of the North Cafeteria from
Augsut 1 to 20. Over 500 visitors came to
the exhibit, which was beautifully and
professionally mounted in what many had
hitherto thought of as a dull andutilitarian
room. "We received many comments about how
wonderful the cafeteria looked," said
Furstenwald, although in large part the
improvement was due to the impressive and
very professional display of work by local
artists. Among those involved were ceramic
artists Judy Cranmer, Barbara Barron, Ron
Tribe and Peter Baker; fibre artists Susan
Lopateki and Cathy Robertson; and textile
artist Mary Frame. Names familiar to Cap
Collegites include instructors Donna
McLaren, Rose Naumann and Bob Kingsmill]
and Mary Bentley (wife of Ted Bentley).

Conchita Furstenwald was the coordinator
of the event and hada great deal of praise
for all the departments that helped out
with the project. "It was a super success
and everybody was very supportive and very
helpful," she said. In particular the
Typing Pool, who did all the correspondence
related to the project, andthe Maintenance
department, who helped with mounting,
dismounting and maintaining the display,
"did a great job." For those who saw the
display and would like a souvenir, or for
those who missed it and would like to see
what it was all about, there are still
catalogues of the show left at $2.50, and
Conchita would appreciate the financial
help. Colour photos of all the works are
also available for $1 each.
