Scholarships cont.

from a secondary school in the college's
region this year with a 3.5 GPA in the
Sciences, and who are registering for a
full science program here. The value of
the award is one semester's tuition fees,
and it is available to ALL students who
meet the eligibility criteria.

If you attended one of the Natural Sciences
faculty's lectures in the last two years,
you are one of the contributors to this
scholarship—the funds were raised through
the collective efforts of the division's
faculty, which included sponsoring the
lecture series. "Having three dozen
students who are qualified for this
scholarship is what we would call our best
case/worst case scenario," said Math
instructor Ted Bentley. "It would be
wonderful—we would be dancing in the
halls if we got so many good students—but
we would also be working very very hard at
fundraising."

This new scholarship is one of three that
are available to Science students this fall.
Two Science faculty scholarships of $500
will be awarded to outstanding students
entering the first year program, and
several Science Textbook Awards, consisting
of a complete set of science texts, will
also be presented.

Landscape instructor returns

Dr. Les Koskitalo will once again be with
us this fall after a year's leave of
absence. He spent the time in Hawaii

working as’ a consultant for International

Synergistics Corporation who specialize in
environmental growth and greenhouses. He
has been overseeing a new greenhouse
operation which will be used for the
production of vegetable crops which do not
grow well in Hawaii, i.e. tomatoes.
Koskitalo teaches in the Landscape
Horticulture program.

Coming up...

The Sechelt Open House took place on
Tuesday, August 19 and the Squamish Open
House on Thursday, August 21. A detailed

report of the two events will be upcoming

Doing the CEU shufflen

It has been something of a musical chairs
summer as concerns staffing at the college

and the Informer is hereby going to -
attempt to chronicle at least some of the
changes that have taken place. We do not
hold out hopes that this listing is
anywhere near complete.

Deep breath. First, there are five new
people on board. Joan Hollman and Donna
Paproski are working as Clerk Is in the

Registrar's office. In the Daycare Centre,
Lee Anne Tough has been hired on a regular
basis (replacing Carolyn Germyn) and
Christine Dube is working while Danielle
Ord is on Parental Leave. And in the
Typing Pool Leanne Warren has been hired
as Word Processing Operator until the end
of the year.

Now for the musical chairs. Rose Marie
Reid was the successful candidate for the
position of Learning Assistant I in Social
Sciences (Lynne Johnson's old position).
Jan Bain (formerly Typing Pool) is
substituting as the Divisional Assistant
in ABE while Sheila Brown is on Parental
Leave (a: girl, named Sarah), and Dorothy
Webb is substituting for Cheryl Helm while
she is on Parental Leave (boy, Christopher
Matthew). Meanwhile, Jessie McCready
(Typing Pool) is substituting for Dorothy
Webb as Learning Assistant I in Humanities
while Dorothy is substituting for Cheryl.

Got that? OK, let's plough on. Carol
Melnichek is in the Faculty Association
office, replacing Georgina Coustalin who
is in first year Law at UBC. Nicole Climo,
who was in Office Admin. is now in ABE.
Yvonne Dunlop is the CASP instructor and
Native Student Support Worker, Eliza
Kuttner is a new Computing Science
instructor, and Sandra Carpenter is the
new Lab Supervisor in ARC. Ruth D'Hollander
is now working in ARC full time, Yvonne
McColl (Counsellor) is now Women's Access
Centre coordinator and Michelle Henderson
is in the same place doing the same job
and has no new baby this year.

(Thanks, Michelle.)

*Whew* Now, what did I miss?
