There's a great deal of interest and ex-
citement in Sechelt over the new Capilano
College expansion, says April Struthers.
April has just been appointed Community
Education Assistant for the Sunshine Coast
Learning Centre and she is happy with her
new job. A transplanted city person who
now resides on a smal! farm with lots of
animals, April has been involved in many
different types of education and community
work. Since she started she's had constant
phone calls from community members inter-
ested in Capilano courses of all different
kinds, particularly Business Management.
"There's a real physical and psychological
distance between the Sunshine Coast and
the Lower Mainland,'' explained April,
which accounts for the deep interest of
the residents in the new opportunities
being offered by Cap. Welcome, April, and
much luck in developing our newest campus.

And now, a proclamation from the Personnel
Department: "The Election Act provides:
Each employee who qualifies as an elector
is entitled to four (4) consecutive hours,
while the polls are open, during which to
vote. If such requires that an employee be
granted time off work, whether before,
during or after normal hours of work, such
time must be considered as time off with
pay.'' And now a question from me: Has any-
one figured our how a person can possibly
take FOUR HOURS to vote? The mind boggles.
Perhaps they're assuming that you use the
first three to make up your mind.

Congratulations and a
lot of moral support to
Capiiano's Curling team
of Jamie Sanford, Diane
Cook, Shelly Strassman,
and Doug Vanderspek.
These talented people
won the Totem Confer-
ence Championship in
Nanaimo and are heading
¢ off to Edmonton in the
“next few weeks to rep-
resent B.C. in the
Western Canadian Fin-
als. There should be
stiff competition
from the
_ prarie
teams ,
but we
think
our 4
stand a good
chance. Again,
Congratulations and good luck, team.
