Noon concert features Brass

The Music Transfer Program’s Fall noon hour
concert series will be presenting Brassmith, a group
of five talented brass artists, on Friday, October 23
at 12:30. The group, with Henry Christian (Capilano
instructor) and Chris Robertson, Trumpets, Steve
Denroche, French Horn, Arthur Smith, Trombone,
and Steve Toren, Tuba, has a rather remarkable
repertoire which ranges from classical to pop, jazz
and big band. On the 23rd they will be presenting a
variety of pieces, ranging from Brahms’ Hungarian
Dance No. 5 to Chatanooga Choo Choo and the
Chevy Chase Rag. This is a free event—all are
welcome to attend. Come to room H113.

Informer Solicits Shocking Photos!

Do you have any charming old photos of yourself as
a burbling youngster? It’s about time the Informer
once again sponsored a Guess Whose Baby Picture
contest, and we need participants. We already have
one photo of a faculty member, so we are particulary
looking for staffers and administrators who are
willing to be publicly embarassed. (Or unwilling—
anyone got spouses or family members on
campus?) Your photo will be returned to you
unharmed, have no fear.

Join the illustrious ranks of those who have been
pointed and giggled at for the entertainment of the
college community, such as Patty Groves, Bill Little,
Bill McPhee.... hmmm, they've all left Capilano
since. Well, make that Doug Loblaw, Joy Smith, Bill
Gibson, Linda Givens, and many more! The effects
are not lasting. Please note: find a photo where you
are old enough (i.e. over 3) to give people a
reasonable chance of recognizing you, in spite of the
balding pate, missing teeth, surgical scars etc.

Send in your photo today (in deep secrecy) to Public
Relations, A118. (No nudes, please.)

Up on the Carpets

Most have you will have noticed that the ragged
yellow carpets in B building have been put out of
their misery and replaced with new grey carpeting.
What you may not know is that over the next few
weeks about 2500 square yards of carpet in North
portable classrooms (those exposed to the sun) will
be replaced. Watch your step.

Library offers database searches

The Media Centre is offering free database searches
on INFOGLOBE to students from 1:30 to 3:00
Monday to Friday. INFOGLOBE databases includes
the Canadian Periodicals Index, which provides
bibliographic citations of articles appearing in
hundreds of Canadian magazines, journals and
newspapers from 1977 on, and the Globe and Mail
Newspaper on-line database. This latter contains
the compete text of virtually every article that has
appeared in the Globe and Mail since November 14,
1977 and is considered an authoritative source for
Canadian current affairs information.

Any students interested in having the librarians do a
search on these publications for any assignment
related topics are asked to talk to a Reference
Librarian. They'll be happy to help, “the Electronic
Way.”

Tourism conference

“Tourism - A Vital Force for Peace” is the title of a
major conference coming to Vancouver in October of
1988. Brian White is very much involved in this
event, which will be held in the convention centre at
the Pan Pacific, and he will be looking for volunteers
for hosting, guiding, and goferring at the conference.
If you are interested, get in touch with him. He is
also, undoubtedly, about to be annoyed that we are
quoting him as saying: “My next conference after this
will be Post Nuclear Tourism.”

Everest Lecture raises funds
