Dealing with Potential Suicides

It is the duty of all of us at Capilano to act “reasonably”
when faced with a potential suicide situation. That is, we must
take all reasonable steps to assist the student when we become
aware of the situtation. The following steps are advised:

* Contact the Counselling Department and/or the duty
physician. These are professionals trained to deal with such
circumstances.

* If off campus, (you receive a telephone call from a student,
for example), encourage the student to contact SAFER (879-
9251) or the Crisis Centre (733-4111), or contact one of these
agencies yourself.

- If on campus, remain with the student during the crisis and
do not abandon him/her until professional help or advice is
received.

Cap Planning High-Tech Art Show

Capilano College and Visions Art Canada are initiating a
major exhibition of Canadian high tech art and have hired Ted
Lindberg (former curator at Vancouver Art Gallery) to research
the project. Lindberg, who began his three-month contract with
the College last week, is already looking for potential artists for
the show.

“Body Electric: High-Tech Infusions in Canadian Art” (a
proposed title) will focus on art using high-tech media. “High
tech is anything in the enhanced sciences,” says Lindberg. “It
could be physics, chemistry, or biology for all I know—plastics
are a high-tech material.”

Lindberg sees the exhibit as a meeting point for pure art and
pure science. “Most art and science we see in everyday life is
applied — I am looking for the more poetic qualities of pure art
and pure science; I believe they form a curve at their highest
levels and double back on each other.”

Lindberg expects to approach both arts and science funding
organizations to help mount the show once he has established a
list of potential participating artists and written a concept paper
(by the end of June). The show is tentatively planned for travel
across Canada then to Europe and eventually Japan.

A freelance arts writer and administrator, Ted was director
of the Charles H. Scott Gallery at Emily Carr, and curator at the
Burnaby Art Gallery. His most recent show, “North of the
Border: Contemporary Vancouver Art”, is on now at the
Whatcom Museum in Bellingham.

Keitha Fishwick, vocal student in the Bachelor of Music Transfer
Program, wowed the judges recently at the Coquitlam District
Music Festival. Keith won three first places in vocal solo, Gilbert
and Sullivan and Duet competitons. Keitha is another feather in
the cap of voice instructor Arlene Mcintyre, whose reputation as a
vocal teacher makes her much in demand as an adjudicator; she
leaves for Nanaimo in April to adjudicate the Island Music Festival.
(Another of Arlene's students Adele Clark won raves as star of the
UBC Sweeny Todd production.)
