THE INFORMER PAGE 7 DECEMBER 17, 1991 continued from previous page South Asia in its use of media. “They have incredible needs,” he said. However, he noted, the distance education system in Pakistan can offer British Columbia a few tips. Paki- stan’s 40 to 50 regional centres are instrumental in de- livering distance education, he said. “We (British Co- lumbia) could have an integrated system of regional centres as part of distance education.” Doug said if such a system were to arise, he would expect the Open Learning Agency to assume leadership. “Capilano College would like to help with the Howe Sound corridor and the Sunshine Coast, not to exclude Lynnmour. That would make sense.” In addition to generating educational ideas, profes- sional exchanges can lead to business opportunities for Canadians and more effective international commerce, he added. Strolling toward the Taj Mahal. Recommended Sightseeing For those of you planning an exotic vacation in 92, here are spots Jim Bizzochi recommends visiting: The Taj Mahal, Agra, India: It is impossible to photograph or to film the impact of this structure. It is large and perfect. You feel like you are gazing ata mountain. Murree, Pakistan: This quaint hill town, built largely during the British rule, looks like an English village. Because of the town’s elevation, it is a favorite spot for people who want to get away from the heat of the lowlands. Rawalpindi, Pakistan: Another relic of the British rule, this town was headquarters of the British Imperial Army until the Raj ended in the late 1940s. Kandy, Sri Lanka: This is one of the ancient capitals of Sri Lanka and the cultural and religious centre of the country. The most popular attractions are the Shrine of Buddha’s Tooth and the ethnic dancers.

The Sportsplex and Fitness Centre re-open at 9 a.m. Thursday, Jan. 2 and continue with regular hours of operation for the rest of the term. Car Pooling Driving and parking your own car every day you attend the College can be a burden. Limited parking spaces may mean cruising the lot for a spot, perhaps on the morning of an important exam or meeting. There even may be a ticket on your windshield at the end of the day, or your car may be missing if you did not read the parking signs. GIVE YOURSELF A BREAK! At no cost to you, try car pooling as a way to beat (or, at least, to share) parking problems. Registering your car pool Once you have three or more people ready to form a car pool, it’s time to register your names. Registered groups get a decal that allows them to park in the car pool spaces in the North and South parking lots. There are 66 car pool spaces all together, and more will be added as the system requires. Forms to register for car pooling are available from the Student Society, Facilities and Purchasing. Enjoy great conversation rather than solitary con- finement in the mornings. Join a car pool!
