Good attendance at Media
conference

Well in excess of 100 people were on campus on
Friday, October 16 for the joint conference of PIMA
(the Pacific Instructional Media Association) and
CADE (the Canadian Association for Distance
Education, B.C. branch). This was the first joint
conference for the two organizations, and was
organized from this end by Media Resources
instructors Peter Thompson and Jim Bizzocchi.

“It was a very rich conference in terms of the amount
of infermation delivered,” commented Bizzocchi.
There were three concurrent streams of workshops,
with four time slots during the day. One aspect of
the conference organization which seemed to work
particularly well was scheduling ihe most popular
workshops in the Dynamics Lab. Attendees had a
choice between joining the audience in the lab or
watching via TV monitor from an overflow room in B
building. “Lots of people preferred to watch it that
way,” commented Bizzocchi, noting that the TV
monitor gave a better view than a seat in the
audience, and that the overflow room was a more
informal setting. Peter Kellington organized the
Dynamics Lab stream, and had his Media
Resources students doing the videotaping and
production.

Ail of the events in the Dynamics Lab were taped
and copies of the tapes will be available from PIMA
and CADE. For information contact one of the
Media types mentioned above.

Youth conference on Wednesday

There is yet another conference coming up on
campus in the near future. 150 students will be

“Entrepreneurship—Creating Tomorrow’s
Opportunities” is the theme of the event, which will

during the afternoon in the South Cafe/Theatre. If
you'd like more details about the event, contact Cam

Daycare requests your “garbage”

Things are going well in the Daycare Centre this fall,
although the siaff and inmates... er, children... sorely
miss Héather Landry, the Centre’s cook for the past
seven years. She moved on to continue her career
in accounting, and the staff wishes her the very best.

The Daycare Centre would like to remind everyone
on campus that their 25 children would appreciate
some of your “garbage”—old clothes, toasters, irons,
hats, wigs, carboard toilet rolls, egg cartons, etc. etc.
“Don't throw it out, throw it our way,” commented
Janet MacDonald (but | would be careful about
taking her TOO literally lest you find two dozen 3-5
year olds occupying your office.) There are rumours
of an Open House coming up soon—stay posted.

Big wheels discuss parking

Q: How do you find the bicycle racks on campus?
A: Pedale up every hill you can find until you get to
the buildings at the highest elevation.

The subject of bicycle parking has been raised again
(in part due, no doubt, to the glorious weather), and
it is rumoured that ASAC (the Ancillary Services
Administration Committee) has been discussing the
issue with commendable energy and dedication. In
fact, scuttlebutt has it that Alan Smith has personally
volunteered to research educational institution
bicycle parking in France and Germany, and there
are other volunteers to tackle a similar project in
China. Plans are on hold pending investigation of
funding.
