GOLD STARS, BROWNIE POINTS, SALVATION FROM PURGATORY AND GOOD VIBES from us to Biology,

E.C.E., Alan Smith,

The last week of August one faculty member
and 15 students from John Abbott College
in Montreal has an excellent stay here as

guests of the Ecology department. They
were the first half of an Ecology exchange
which will see 15 Cap students going to
Montreal at the end of September. Funded

by the Secretary of State, this program
costs each student a lordly $20 for a week
of unbeatable field trips. The Montreal
students spent a couple of days in Manning
Park, visited Osoyoos. and then hit such
local attractions as Mount Seymour, the
Rifle Bird Sanctuary, Stanley Park, Light-
house Park and the college. Practically
the entire Biology department turned out
to play host to the visitors, taking them
on a Harbour cruise and up to the Salmon
House . before packing them off back east.
Our people are now looking forward to what
should be an equally enjoyable stay in the
East, which will include a trip to Mount
Washington in New Hampshire, and doubtless

a great deal of return hospitality from
John Abbott.

The first part of the design money for the
new building has been received, says Alan
Smith, undoubtedly with great joy and jub-
ilation. The first stage of design under
architect Ron Howard jis underway and they
are figuring right now on 14 months’ for
design and 16-18 months for construction,
putting us well into 1982. In other words,
you may cheer, but don't hold your breath.

Keith Wade and numerous others for giving us tip sheets and info.

Well, we think that the VSO concert went
rather well, in spite of anything the N.
Shore News has to say. With only a couple
of weeks notice to publicize the event, a
reasonable audience still turned out and
thoroughly enjoyed themselves. . And didn't
have to trek all the way to the Orpheum.

The student newspaper is publishing once
again. The Courier (which also published
the Survival Guide you have probably seen
lying around) will be published each WEEK
now (last year it was bi-weekly) so the
newspaper will be slightly shorter, but a
lot more up to date. If you don't like it,
wrtte a letter to the editor. They love to
be noticed (or better, controversial)/k,
