Quebec students settle in

Forty-nine students from Quebec are on
campus for the next five weeks. They are
here for the annual English Immersion
program, and this is the first time that
all the students have been from Quebec—
usually there are some from Ontario and
New Brunswick. As well as studying (and
this group is studying hard) they will be
participating in a lot of outdoor
activities, such as cycling, hiking, and
camping. Next weekend (June 13/14) they
will be taking a trip to Victoria and Long
Beach, and the following weekend there is
a canoeing trip planned.

When the exchange program first started,
close to ten years ago, the majority of
the students were in Arts, but this year's
group are mostly enrolled in faculties
such as Engineering and Business and are
interested in improving their English for
their careers. They are billeted out on
the North Shore, one per family, and
program coordinator Marlene Fry noted that
there were many volunteer families this
year—maybe Vancouverites got accustomed
to putting people up during Expo. The
students will be on campus for morning
classes on weekdays, and their last day
will be Friday, July 3.

How to survive?

What would you tell a new student to help
them adjust to college life? What would
you tell them that can be printed? If you
have suggestions for what should go in the
Student Society's survival guide for the
fall semester, contact the S.S. right

Rosenberg appointed curator

Ann Rosenberg has taken a year's leave of
absence to work on a project that will be
something of a change of pace. She is now
the curator of the Surrey Art Gallery
(located at the Surrey Arts Centre, 13750
88th Ave.). Why not stop by and explore
the gallery, and see how Ann is doing?

OTEU throws retirement party

Retiring Capilano employees Connie Lucas,
Rikki Lucas, and Ethel Mulligan were the
guests of honour at the OTEU retirement
party on Thursday, May 28. The three were
cheerfully embarassed with songs about
themselves (composed by Joyce Fancher) and
received going away presents. Also on hand
to wish them all the best were staff
"alumni" (former retirees) Kay Gebbie,
Averil McCreadie, Arlette Frescoe, Muriel
Booth and Bill Little. About 60 people,
including OTEU Local 378 President Anne
Harvey, attended the event and partook of
the wonderful food, contributed by various
departments,and the libations. The other
major event of the afternoon was the
presentation of 20,000 hour pins to those
hardy people who have survived that long
in the employ of Capilano College. Taffy
Hughes, Ian Robertson, Pat Babiuk, Rose
Marie Reid, Karen Klaver, Carol Noonan,
Janet Macdonald, and Dorothy Webb all got
their pins this year.

Honeysuckle saved!

If you have been watching the Landscape
Horticulture students working away by C-1
portable and are wondering what they've
been up to, here is the answer. They are
saving the life of a rare Cape Honeysuckle
plant.

The tall tree stump by C-1 has become so
rotten that it is a hazard, but in planning
to remove it Landscape instructor Les
Koskitalo noticed that it was supporting a
Cape Honeysuckle that has been there for
about 15 years. Rather than tear out the
stump and kill the plant, he decided to
build a trellis to support the plant and
to replace the stump, and that is what
they're doing now. The results promise to
be both aesthetically and ecologically
pleasing.
