The Creation

In the beginning was the plan

And then came the assumptions

And the assumptions were without form

And the plan was completely without substance
And darkness was upon the faces of the workers

And they spake unto their group heads, saying:
“Tt is a crock and it stinketh!”

And the group heads went unto their section heads and sayeth”
“Tt is a pail of dung, and none may abide the odour thereof!”

And the section heads went unto their managers and sayeth unto
them:

“Tt is a container of excrement, and it is very strong, such that
none may abide by it.”

And the managers went to their director, and sayeth unto her:
“Tt is a vessel of fertilizer, and none may abide by its strength.”

And the director went unto her vice-president and sayeth:
“Tt contains that which aids plant growth and is very strong.”

And the vice-president went unto the president and sayeth unto
him:
“Tt promoteth growth, and it is very powerful.”

And the president went unto the chairman of the board and
sayeth unto her:

“This powerful new plan will actively promote growth and the
efficiency of the company.”

And the chairperson looked upon the plan and saw that it was
good.

And the plan became policy.

The North Shore's First
Multicultural Association

Students inspired by Bernardo Berdichewsky's Anthropology
200 class (Ethnic Relations) have started the first Multicultural
Association on the North Shore.

"We want to start with raising the consciousness of the
College community then move beyond the campus," says acting
chair Kristine Langedyk. Formed just two weeks ago, the
Association has the full support of the College, says Doug
Jardine.

Speaking at the Multicultural Lunch held in H402 last
Wednesday, Doug commended the students on their initiative
and said"We have always felt that the College should take a
leadership role in these kinds of things in the community."

The Association, which gathered 35 new members at the
lunch, "is breaking new ground on the North Shore," says Lloyd
Dolha, one of the ebullient three who form the core of the group.

Kristine, Lloyd, and Cherie Summers, commented that the
North Shore has a dismal history in ethnic relations, citing the
old .... rules of the British Properties.

Pleased with the large turnout for their lunch, over 40 people
showed up to sample the home-made ethnic food and hear Paul
Erinle's Gongan (talking drum) and flute by Jeff Feinstein, the
students are now enthusiastically planning their next event to
coincide with the International Day for the Elimination of Racial
Prejudice March 21.

Watch for news on this event in the next Informer.

Music Therapy Becomes a Degree

Program

Our 14 year old Music Therapy program has graduated.
Starting in September, Cap and the B.C. Open University will
jointly offer the first Bachelor of Music Therapy Degree in
western Canada. Students may take the entire program at Cap
and receive a degree from the Open University. The first two
years of the program consist of background courses in music,
general arts, education, and health, and the last two are devoted
specifically to music therapy.

Cap pioneered music therapy education in Canada with the
introduction of a diploma program in 1976.
