Congratulations to Bill
Schermbrucker (English)
whose novel Mimosa won the
Ethel Wilson Fiction prize at
the recent B.C. Book awards.
Cap had a strong presence at
this year’s event, with
William Goede’s Love in
Beijing named as runner up
for the same prize.

Dr. Alan Gilchrist, Chemistry, has been awarded the
first SFU Faculty of Science Community College
Fellowship in Chemistry for Summer ’89. This is one of
four new fellowships in biosciences created by SFU to
allow community college science faculty to collaborate
with the university faculty or work on teaching
material. Alan will spend the ten weeks of his fellowship
tenure working with Professor John Walkley of SFU’s
Chemistry department on “Chemistry in a Canadian
Context”, a book of chemistry problems based on
Canadian source materials.

Nancy McMaster (Music Therapy) has been invited to
teach at UVic this summer and will be introducing
counsellors and child care workers to music therapy.
Nancy also reports that the first full training program in
Canada for Guided Imagery and Music (G.I.M.) will be
hosted by Cap’s Music Therapy program. “G.I.M. is a
vehicle for self discovery and life changes through
imagery evoked by music,” Nancy explained. “Many
health care professionals in the lower mainland have
already expressed an interest.”

Nancy’s new tape, From the Heart is now available.
Contact the music department at 2951.

Vicky Troup (Biology) is featured in a display on
Environmental Educators that will travel the U.S. and
be shown in the U.N. The display was produced by Cap’s
media resources students.

A letter to Doug Jardine from the North Shore Arts
Commission:

Again we are indebted to Capilano College for
extraordinary support for our cultural community. The
Forum was a positive turning point for us, and you did a
masterful job as host. We were proud of the show in all
its professionalism, and we loved the Night Cap singers.
Wasn’t it gratifying to see so many young people on
stage with so much presence? Alan Smith (Secretary of
the Commission) is a wonderful addition to our strength.
— Judy Dennis, Chair
