enthusiasm in the class was
perhaps a reflection of the new
minimum 75 per cent entry
requirement at McGill.

Wade also had an opportunity to
confer with his research partner who
hails from New Zealand, but is at
McGill on sabbatical. He and Dr.
Peter Holland are studying the
northern limits of rhododendron and
arbutus in B.C.

Music Notes

Cap Jazz
Wins in B.C.

Capilano College’s 20-piece jazz
ensemble won first place in the open,
category at the New Westminster
Hyack Jazz Festival March 11. They
have been invited to attend the
national competition in Calgary for
Music Fest ’88 late in May, and it
“looks like” they'll have the funding to
attend, says Commercial Music
instructor, Mike Reveley. “We'll bus
in and bicycle out — whatever it
takes,” he says.

Cap’s ensemble beat out stage
bands from all over B.C., includingtwo
groups from Douglas College, two
from Vancouver Community College
and one from Malaspina.

The Best of Prism

Al Harlow, part-time instructor in
the Commercial Music Program (Song
Writing and the History of Rock) has
just returned from a sold-out cross-
Canada tour with Return of Prism, a
revival of the quadruple platinum
recording group (77-82).

He is now co-writing songs for a
new album, The Best of Prism, which
will be released soon.

DIET TIPS

1. If no one sees you eat, it has no
calories.

2. If you drink a diet soda with a
candy bar, they will cancel each
other out.

3. Calories don’t count if you eat

. with someone and you both eat
the same amount.

4, Food taken for medicinal purposes
does not count. This includes hot
chocolate, brandy, toast, Sara Lee
chocolate cake.

5. If you fatten up everyone around
you, you'll look thinner.

6. Snacks consumed in a movie do
not count as they are part of the
entertainment. For example:
milkshakes, popcorn with butter,
red licorice and M&Ms.

7. Pieces of cookies contain no
calories. The process of breaking
causes calorie leakage.

8. Late-night snacks have no
calories. The refrigerator light is
not strong enough for the calories
to see their way to the calorie
counter.

9. Frozen food has no calories, as a
calorie is a measure of the heat in
food.

BMI causes Panic

A Square in the
Denominator Does Not
Mean You Are

Going to Die

Judging by the number of calls the
PR office has received on the BMI
measurement system run in the last
Informer, there are several people on
campus who either need to see a
mortician or mathematician. NOTE:
Square the denominator whether
you are using metric or imperial
measure. The confusion arose from
the translation of pounds and inches
to metric — it was not intended as
part of the equation.

Ring Finds Owner

The Lost and Found notice in the
last Informer did its job, and the
owner of the errant ring dropped by
to let us know that getting it back
had "made her day”. Send your
written news, views, and previews to
the Public Relations office by April
20 for the next issue. People are

getting the message.

It’s allin a Name

The typing pool is adopting a new
moniker, “Word Processing Centre”,
to more accurately reflect the
department’s functions: word
processing, typing, mail and FAX.
