Music offers scholarships

Students enrolling in the Bachelor of
Music Transfer Program this fall will, for
the first time, have a chance to compete
for two entrance scholarships. The two
$100 scholarships for full-time students
will be adjudicated and given out in the
first month of classes prior to the
deadline for payment of full tuition fees.

"We are going to make an effort to spread
the scholarships around between the
instrumental and vocal students," said
coordinator Joyce Simpson. "For instance,
pianists often have an advantage because
they usually start playing at a younger
age, but we would also like to encourage
orchestral players who typically have
begun playing their instrument in high
school. We would like to broaden the
variety of instruments that we have in the
program."

Funding for the awards has been raised
through the faculty and guest recital
series at Cap over the past two years. The
Music department also offers scholarships
to students returning for the second year
at Cap.

Business seminars upcoming

Quick now, what does NSEDC stand for? If
you immediately said North Shore Enterprise
Development Centre, you are either Bryan
Brooking or you are up-to-date on college
news. The NSEDC operates through a grant
to Cap College out of an office on 15th
St. in North Vancouver and offers
assistance to people who are planning to
start their own businesses. This fall they
are offering a series of workshops on
topics of interest to aspiring
entrepreneurs, i.e. Researching Market
Information; by-laws, permits and licenses
required to open up a business on the
North Shore; taxation; financing;
arranging a commercial lease; insurance;
and Franchising. These seminars, with one
exception, will run on Wednesday nights at
7 pm and more information is available
through the NSEDC at 984-2004. Yes, and
Bryan Brooking is the Centre's coordinator.
Give him a call or drop in to #301 - 145

W. 15th St. during business hours.

Phone Phacits

You may have noticed a new infernal gadget
on your desk. This is your new phone and
here are some of the things you should
know about it:

- These are not BC Tel phones, hence there
is no point complaining to BC Tel if they
don't work. Call Ian Robertson, 2963.

-~ If your local starts with 29, i.e. 2963,
it is a direct dial line. The number is
984-49 plus the last two digits; in this
case 984-4963.

- If you have a direct line, please
encourage people to use it. The Switchboard
will love you for it as they are
frantically busy right now. Your callers
will also love you as the Switchboard is
frantically busy right now.

- If you do not understand your “User
Guide" and such features:as "Call Park
Retrieval" (it "enables a station user to
put a call in a parking orbit"), do not
ask me. These telephones come with
"Telephone user training workshops" which
will be held in the last week in August
and the first in September. Call Ian
Robertson to sign up, or talk to someone
who has taken this workshop.

- Finally, if you are having troubles with
your phone after you have dialed outside,
it is probably BC Tel's fault this time.
The North Vancouver substation is being
switched over from the old dial interrupt
system to a digital system to accommodate
touch tone phones (like ours). This is
scrambling up everybody's calls, not just
Cap College's.

There is no truth to the rumour that
Extension Programs is planning a fall
course on Carrier Pigeon Breeding.

Cafeteria hours

During Registration (week of August 25)
the South Cafeteria will be open from 8 am
to 7:30 pm to fuel all those students
standing in line and the faculty members
twiddling their thumbs (or tearing out
their hair) in the Lounge. The North Cafe
reopens September 2 with the start of
classes and the South Cafe goes back to
its regular hours (8 am to 3:30 and 5:30
to 9:00pm) .
