PLANS FOR CELEBRATING OUR 10th ANNIVERSARY

The responses for ideas for celebrating the 10th Anniversary were
many and varied! The 10th Anniversary Committee has reviewed all the proposals
received to date, and has arrived at the decision that all were worthy of doing.
Although some of the more ambitious projects wi 11 have to be trimmed for cost
considerations, it was decided to fund some in full or in part from the special
budget, and the balance from regular budgets, with promotion for the events to
be funded by the 10th Anniversary budget as well.
Where appropriate, planned special events are to be encouraged to take
place over the weekend of the 1979 Open House - SCHEDULED FOR MARCH 9th and 10th
(Friday and Saturday).
The special activities that are now in the planning stages are:
- Lecture Series sponsored by the Natural Sciences Division

- proposal is that faculty members within the division present
interesting public lectures on their areas of expertise

- Science Competftion
- aimed at encouraging participation from high school students in
the college district. Guidelines for home-built science projects
are to be distributed to high schools this Fall, with an on-campus
competition to be held in the Spring (at the time of Open House)
- Basketball Tournament

- between Alberta, United States and Totem Conference teams (November '78)

- Cap Communicator

- special September 1978 issue � history and photographs of th�
college's developing years
