Art students win scholarships

Three Studio Art students have just been
named as the recipients of scholarships
offered by the B.C. and Yukon Community

Newspapers Association. Pierre Bellehumeur
and Kathy Curry, second year students, and
Teresa McDowell, first year, have won
scholarships of $200 and $250 which will
be presented in October at the annual
convention of the newspaper association.
$7,000 in total is being awarded by the
association this year to journalism and

. graphic arts students from Camosun,
Kwantlen, Selkirk and Capilano Colleges,
U.Vic, and VCC. The BCYCNA has 81 member
newspapers publishing once, twice or three
times a week (including the North Shore
News and several other papers in our
College region). They are holding their
convention from October 1 to 4 at the
Delta River Inn.

Reminder:

The new Student Development Centre for
Women's Access and Career Planning is
inviting faculty members to come and see
their facilities in M building on October
2 from 12 to 2 pm. There will be punch and
appetizers laid on, so those intending to
come are asked to RSVP to Yvonne McColl,

Exhibit, lecture series on China

exhibition and lecture series being held
this fall. The exhibition at the Chinese

Cultural Centre runs from September 28 to

October 31, while the lectures will be
held at the Vancouver Centennial Museum
Auditorium. These are evening lectures,

all but one is in English, and admission
is $1. For a copy of the schedule call
Information Services or the Chinese
Cultural Centre.

Gibson gives seminar

Bill Gibson is holding a special seminar
for faculty, staff and students on "The
Non-Electronic Method of Information
Retrieval" on Monday, October 6 at 12:15
in room H424. He claims that the proposed
system is “effective, simple, inexpensive
and non-electronic" but “could be
converted to an electronic system at any
time." This sounds suspiciously like
filing to us; nonetheless it is always
useful to learn effective methods for
remembering and retrieving articles,
recipes, slides and other sorts of
information. This is a free lecture and
participants are invited to bring their
lunch.

Kiss" fromOctober 3 to 9 at 7:30 and 9:20.
This latter is a documentary about the

stars by Verdi in 1902.
