AND HERE'S A TIMELY, IF RATHER DEPRESSING EXCERPT from Ted Kingan's page of quotations:

"Why should we subsidize intellectual curiousity?"

Wednesday night is the official opening of
the Downtown Education Centre. For anyone
who hasn't heard about it, the Centre is a
joint venture of SFU, BCIT and Cap. The
basic idea is that many people in’ our
areas work downtown and this centre will
enable us to reach business people conven-
iently. Dan Dolphin, head of Training for
Business and industry down here at Premier
Street, will be moving to the new loca-
tion in February--the seventh floor of 549
Howe St. TFBI will be offering their usual
courses and as well, Community Ed. will be
using the location for a variety of credit
free offerings.

The Capilano Symphony Orchestra is still
looking for string players to come and re-
hearse Tuesday nights. There is no charge

wish to register for Music 150-2. On the

Sibelius Symphony #1, Glazunov Saxophone
Concerto, & Robert Fleming ''4 Fantasias on
Canadian Folk Themes'' and ''3 Contrasts."
If this grabs you, or you know of someone
who would like the opportunity to play in
an orchestra, call the music department.
Kar] Kobylansky will be glad to hear from
you.

Have you converted? No, not to religion--
to metric. If not, you may be interested
in a series of Metric workshops which wil]
be held on campus in the afternoons for
the benefit of all the unenlightened sorts
around here. The course outline is as fol-
lows: ''The purpose of the workshop is to
familiarize the consumer with the ration-
ale behind the conversion to FI and the
main units used in every day living. There
will be a brief review of imperial mea-
surements, of the metric from the French
Revolution and metric as it is found in
the world today. There will be a few exer-
cises which will be completed to show the
ease with which metric is used. With sup-
plied equipment the participants will make
measurements in metric for daily use in
the marketplace.'' All of which leaves me
with one question -- what is FI? (French
Insanity? ****ing Inconvenience?) Pamela
Salusbury will take the first two sessions
and the instructor for the third hasn't
yet been determined. Dates are as follows:
#1 Monday, February 9 1-3 pm NC205

Wednesday, February 11 1-3 pm NB103
#2 Monday, February 16 1 pm NC205

Thursday, February 19 1-3 pm NC106
#3 Wednesday, February 25 1 pm NB103

Friday, February 27 pm NB103
For information on registration and all
that, call local 328. Unbelievers convert!
