credit free courses being offered jointly
by the Burnaby Arts Centre and Cap. Art of
the 1970's in America will be a slide/lec-

Most single parents are in avery sticky
dilemna. On the one hand they have to keep
up with their responsibilities to their
children, but on the other, they want to
establish a life of their own. If you are
a single parent and interested in dis -
cussing the problems involved with other
people in the same boat, you may want to
join the "For Single Parents'' workshop,
Thursday nights starting January 29. This
ISN'T a therapy group; it IS open to men
and women. For info call the Women's Res-
ource Centre.

Breaking into Journalism, the course with
David Levy, former Moscow CBC Bureau head,
is beginning yet again. Now, I realize
that regular readers of the Informer (I
blithely assume that such creatures exist)
have heard about this course several times
by now, but look at it this way. Since you
have heard about it before, that means it
has run a number of times, which in Comm-
unity Ed. means that it is a popular and
successful course. In other words, if it's
still here, it must be good. So, if you
are interested in learning the craft of
basic journalism on Saturdays from 9:30 to
12:30 starting January 24 for ten sessions
sign up through Community Ed. For more in-
formation you can also call local 321.
