Joan Acosta of ESL lost an umbrella in the C Build- ing during a faculty meeting Nov. 5. It was no ordinary umbrella, not because of its paisley fabric or wooden handle, but because of the memories it held. It was a gift to Joan from bursary students from Quebec. Joan sent a “Lost” ad to the Public Relations office. Before the ad was to run in the Informer, an ad from Karen Ewing, arrived at the office: “Found, woman’s umbrella at back of auditorium (C-bldg.)...” The PR office called Joan. She got her umbrella back before this Informer went to press. “I’m very pleased about that,” she said. People Congratulations to Joan Acosta (ESL) who won a special achievement award at the Women in the Media Conference held Nov. 9 in Vancouver. Joan was honored for her production of the West Coast Reader and the “News Reader” column in the Province. The West Coast Reader is a free literacy and English as a second lan- guage newspaper published eight times a year. Dr. Frank Gelin has been appointed chair of a commit- tee that will advise on the writing of a paper examining alternative approaches to undergraduate education in colleges. The paper is to be written by Gary Bauslaugh of Malaspina College. The committee, selected by the Ministry of Advanced Education, includes representa- tives from the existing degree-granting colleges, Emily Carr College of Art and Design, and other individuals. Artist Phillip Aird, a member of the College’s Art Institute, spent the past summer in the Arctic as part of a Department of Energy, Mines and Resources “Arctic Awareness Program.” Phillip observed an archaeological excavation of an 800-year-old house and joined scientist Ross Mackay from UBC in his observations of the growth of pingo formations in a drained lake site. Phillip sketched and took photos in preparation for a series of paintings based on the experience. Rob Turner is now president of the Association of B.C. Student Services Administrators.
