End of an era The end of an era was captured in this photo taken January 9 in the Sportsplex by Web manager, Dave O'Leary. This was the final day of registration for spring term classes at Capilano College’s North Vancouver campus. Dissolve Last day of spring registration marks a new beginning. Future registration will see fewer chairs and shorter line-ups as students take advantage of online technology. In-person registration will still exist for those students who require additional assistance or who simply prefer the human touch. The Capilano Students’ Union and the Harassment committee are sponsoring two free performances of the Vancouver Fringe production Dissolve at the Capilano College Performing Arts Theatre on March 17 at 12:30 p.m. and 4 p.m. A discussion panel will follow the 50-minute performance. Dissolve is a one-woman play written and performed by local actor, Meghan Gardiner. It deals with club drugs and the violence that can accompany them.
