the

Nov. 4-9 Colleges week

The Provincial government has proclaimed

that November 4 to 9 is Colleges and
Institutes Week, and we even have a third
or fourth generation photocopy of the
proclamation down in Information Services
to prove it. (Somehow it doesn't look so
impressive in blurry black and white,
though.) A gripping press release from the
Ministry of Education informs us that BC
has 20 community colleges and institutes,
and goes on to say: ''In announcing the
proclamation Mr. Heinrich emphasized that
B.C. post-secondary institutions have
become active participants in the economic
development of their local communities.
'We are seeing the colleges and institutes
expand their traditional role and involve
themselves in research and retraining in
response to changing technology.''' Colleges
and Institutes Week--don't miss it.

‘Universities come to Cap

University representatives will be on
campus on Thursday, October 31 in
conjunction with the High School
Counsellors' Conference, sponsored by the
Advising Centre. If you know any students
who are considering entry to specialized
university programs, or who are in second
year and planning to transfer, suggest
that they take this occasion to speak to
advisors from UBC, SFU and U.Vic. Students
should be referred to the Advising Centre
in M building to make an appointment time,
or they can call the Advising Centre at
local 443. Jeri Krogseth of the Centre
says, ''we would appreciate Faculty's help
in making students aware of this
opportunity."
