You're a returning student and as

that you're behind on the news.

You're a new or returning student

FIND THE INFO CENTRE!
The Info Centre is a sort of a closet

Once you find it a few of your prob­

you browse through their selection of

The info centre has housing list­

college life. It usually has hours

you really want to know, ask around
other students.
And be careful with l's in the spring.
They will occasionally screw up your
credits if your record is being trans·
ferred to another institution right
away because some places don't
recognize l's. You could find yourself
with an F or two and a terrifying
amount of red tape to straighten it all
out.

ABOUT THOSE COURSES....
Changing courses

about dropping a course is fee
refunds. To get an 80% refund of your
tuition and lab fees you must drop the
course by OCTOBER 5 this fall or
FEBRUARY 15 in the spring. The last
day you can drop a course at all, with
no refund, is NOVEMBER 9 or
MARCH 7 for spring semester. Don't
leave it too late.

publicized each spring, so keep your
eye out for the pertinent information.

Grade appeals
If, for some reason, you consider
your final grade in a course to be
unfair and you can't sort it out with
your prof, you can go to a counsellor
and try the Grade Appeals procedure.
Now, we really hate to take a
defeatist attitude, especially at the
beginning of a new year and all, but
you have about as good a chance of
getting a grade appeal through as
winning the jackpot in the Western.
That is not to say that it is a gamble
-rather that the odds are vastly
against you. First the counsellor will
try to patch up things with you and the
prof, but if that doesn't work they will
give you a form to fill out and submit
(with $5 for each course involved) to
the Appeals Committee. Due to
various obvious and less obvious
political reasons tied up with the
composition of the committee (profs
are not likely to go against each other
and the administration wants nothing
to do with the whole thing), grade

appeals almost never get through.
The moral of which is sort out bad
situations before they get that far,
and don't leave things until late in the
term.

Income tax

The most intelligent way to deal
with the hassles of changing courses
is to get yourself into the right ones to
start with. But assuming that you
bungled registration or that you
arrived in your first class to discover
that for some reason you can't stick it
out, here's what you do.

Transcripts (other than the ones
you get after every semester) may be
obtained through the Registrar's
office (across from the Info Centre,
remember?). You have to fill out a
form (what else is new) and pay a
dollar and then your form will be
shipped off to SFU where all the
transcripts are stored on microfilm.
The requests go out on Thursday
and arrive at Cap Friday morning
when you can pick them up in person,
have them mailed to you or have them
mailed directly to the university of
your choice.

Graduating

Income tax, as everyone will agree,
is a thoroughly unpleasant subject.
Unfortunately everyone, even a
student, is taxable, but students can
deduct the occasional pittance from
their pound of flesh.
Since tax regulations change from
year to year the federal government
usually publishes a booklet called (in
all their originality) Income Tax and
the Student. Financial Aid should
have the information you need, as
well as other departments around the
college.
What you should remember is to
check early. The Income Tax people
like you to send them a specific piece
of paper which you have to apply to
the college to obtain-THEY WILL
NOT MAIL IT TO YOU ANYWAY. So
find out before the end of April and
leave yourself plenty of time.

To graduate you have to APPLY.
You will not get your diploma and
invitation to the graduation cere·
monies and all that automatically on
completing the credits you need. To
repeat, YOU MUST APPLY.
First check ahead with the calen­
dar and a counsellor to make sure
you are getting all the credits you
need and then find out from then
where and when to apply for official
graduation. There are ceremonies
held each year for all departments,
along with a banquet. Graduation is

Library
The library system at Capilano is a
pain in the ass. That has nothing to do
with the staff-they are exceptionally
good. It doesn't even have anything
to do with the contents of the library.
The problem is that half the library is
on the north campus and half on the
south. If you want to do any thorough
research you're going to be doing
some walking. There's no way to
avoid it.
Apart from that one irritant, the
library system at Capilano is good
and efficient. The South Campus
library (8125) contains books, records
tapes and the periodicals indexes.
The North library has the periodicals
collection, newsp�pers, microform
and AV.

This year the South Library has
something new called the microfiche
system which is replacing card cata­
logues. Don't get worried-it's easy
to operate and the librarians have lots
of operating instructions and advice
to hand out. The system is also
delightfully efficient.
The selection of books and per­
iodicals at Cap is reasonably
adequate for most of your needs, but
if they don't have what you want don't
despair. Go to the librarian. Cap is on
the inter-library loan system with SFU
and UBC so if they have any book that
you need there you can order it
through Cap and it will arrive for you in
a day or two. This is a great system
because it gives you a wide selection
and beats bussing it all the way out to
Sedgewick.
Library hours are the same as last

year: 9 am to 9 pm Monday through
Thursday, 9 am to 4:30 pm Friday and
1 to 5 pm Saturdays and Sundays.
The hours are the same for North and
South campus.
And if you're researching period­
icals, remember to do all your looking
at one time. You see, the indexes are
on the South campus, so if you want a
magazine, you have to look it up in the
south and then go and get it in the
north. *sigh*
For inquiries or emergency infor­
mation when you're off campus or the
time or whatever the North library
answers locals 204/205 and the
South, locals 240, 241 and 242.

A.V.
There has been some reshuffling of
space in ND over the summer, but
Audio Visual is carrying on in the
same old location at the south end of
the building, providing a variety of AV
and projection equipment. With your
college student ID card you can sign
o_ut the odd thing like cassette and
reel to reel tape recorders, 16 and 8
mm movie projectors, slide projec­
tors, overhead projectors, opaque
projectors, record players, amps,
microphones, mixers, and video
equipment.
All equipment is available to stu­
dents on a first come first serve basis.
It is a 2-day loan system (but you
might be able to negotiate excep­
tions). Reservations ahead for some
equipment is recommended.
Ted Clarke is the man to talk to to
set you up with all sorts of interesting
equipment. His local is 207.

MPC is yet another in the confusing
collection of initialed departments
around the college. It stands for
Media Production Centre-don't get
· it mixed up with the Media Centre,
which is the library, or Media Re­
sources which is department located
next to the South Library.
MPC does photography (eg they
can make you a slide from a picture in
a book), dry mounting, AV production,
graphics design, provides supplies
such as tapes or film for educational
uses, and provides instruction and
consultation on production or using
equipment. Faculty, staff, students,
and North Shore residents can all use
the Centre. Of course it will cost you,
so check their price list before you
get too extravagant.
You can either use MPC's facilities
by phoning them and asking or you
can ask them to do jobs for you by
dropping in with your request. Don't
expect them to be fast, however.
They need anywhere from a week to 6
weeks lead time depending on the
job.
The people to talk to at MPC are
Ginny, Fred, Lynn and Edna. Drop in
or call local 207.

Big changes have happened in the
Bookstore over the summer. The first
thing returning students will notice is
that the floor plan has been switched
all around. And the second will
probably be that there aren't any
"frills" being sold this year. T-shirts,
frisbes, mugs and such are forever
gone.

staff who will assemble your pile and
ring it up. The reason for this, you will
see soon enough, is the miniscule
size of the store.
The bookstore does take personal
cheques made out to the order of
"Capilano College". And they love
your cash, too. Remember to KEEP
YOUR RECEIPT in case you get the
wrong text or transfer out of a class.
You can return the book Within a
week or so if you have the slip and
haven't chewed the pages.
And to avoid the horrendous line
ups go to the bookstore at night. After
dinner, even during rush, you can
usually get through with almost no
trouble.

Also forever gone, unfortunately, is
the sale of used books on consign­
ment. You used to be able to buy
used books on a special shelf at the
store or sell your old ones, but no
more. According to the bookstore,
processing the books costs more
than the student earns by the sale.
According to us you're going to have
more trouble than ever trying to pick
up a bit of money from your old books.
Better go back to beer bottles.
Last year during Rush (the first two
weeks of college) textbooks were
sold in ND, but this year everything
will be handled through the book­
store. The system is no longer self­

Financial Aid

in the classified section, but since the
paper only comes out every two
weeks we suggest that you transport
your body over to NF and talk to
Florence.

Whether you're broke, looking for
scholarships or bursaries, or could
just do with a little advice on bud­
geting or credit, Financial Aid is the
place you want to go.
Connie Gibbs is the Financial Aid
officer and she will help you get a
Student Loan, apply for a bursary or
scholarship, or get through the month
without overspending. Her office is
located on the bottom floor of NF,
NF102 to be precise. If you need a
loan or want to apply for a bursary, go
NOW. Most bursaries and scholar­
ships have an application deadline of
September 15. You can find a list of
the in the front of the calendar.
Financial Aid also holds money
management workshops on topics
like credit, loans and budgeting, and
they have a new booklet this year for
students on how to manage your
money most effectively on a tight
budget. Even if your budget isn't all
that tight, the booklet's worth picking
up for some of the tips on economical
living.
Firiancial Aid's local is 315. Or just
drop by for a browse.

Learning Assistance
The Learning Assistance Centre,
located in the tower in A113, is where
you want to go for help in writing
essays, spelling, picking up study
skills and much much more. You can
drop in and talk to Donna Van Norman
the Coordinator, arrange a tutorial'.
attend one of their workshops, or just
drop by and pick up some handouts.
The learning assistance centre
also has some quiet study area and
typewriters for student use.
Workshops are being held this fall
on all sorts of different topics and one
of them may be just what you need.
They're also free.

Women's Resource
Centre
IF you're a new student or returning to
the college and feeling lost of "too
old"
IF you're looking for other women to
talk to
IF you're in need of research material
for a paper
or IF you're just looking for a quiet
· space to sit and read or talk­
the Women's Resource Centre may
be the answer.
Marsha Trew and Rita Johnson
staff the centre, whi<::h can be found in
A108, in the tower just across from
the All College Lounge. For help in
writing essays, doing research or any
other particular thing you might come
up with, drop by. There is also a
lending library and files full of per­
iodicals, bibliographies, catalogues
and brochures on community re­
sources and services for women that
are all being kept up to date. There is
an extensive collection of books by
and about women, as well, so drop in

a look.

of seven counsellors, you're bound to
find one that you can get along with.
Some of the interesting things that
the Counselling division also offers
are a testing service with vocational
and psychological tests and a collec­
tion of information on self help and
vocational choice. Check out NF102.
During registration the counsellors
can all be found on the south campus
for drop-in counselling, but they will
be moving back to their regular
offices later which are as follows:
Bob Bagshaw - NF107
Dave Jones - NF104
Lanalee Schmidt - 8102
Marg Penn - 8105
Jan Fraser - A112
Gary Siegrist & Lynne Mansfield A111
Greg Sharpe (Admissions & course
planning & placement office) - 8106
The reception area for the coun­
selling department was supposed to
move, but _it still occupies an office on
the bottom floor of NF. All the coun­
sellors are available for course, job
and personal counselling except for
Greg Sharpe who doesn't do per­
sonal counselling.

Daycare
Well, we have some good news
and some bad news for you. The
good news is that there is a daycare
centre on campus. The bad news is
that if you need daycare you're prob­
ably out of luck because they're full
and even booked up ahead.
However, here's what the Daycare
centre does. The Centre does not
really exist for the convenience of
Cap students with kids. It's a dem­
onstration/observation centre for
students taking Early Childhood
Education. The Centre handles 25
children from 3 to 5 years old who are
supervised by three qualified teach­
ers (all Cap grads).
The Centre operates from 7:30 am
to 6:00 pm all year, except for holi­
days, and costs around $150/month.
If you want to know more about the
Centre or the Early Childhood pro­
gram, the are Rejane Nadeau or
Eleanor Worman who hang around
the end of local 361.

OPEN:
MONDAY TO SATURDAY
VOLLEYBALL - Men's and Women's
starts September 24 and continues
Mondays and Wednesdays from 7:30
to 9:30 at Delbrook gym.
There is also a curling team-if
you're interested check with the
Fitness Centre.

Fitness Centre
The Fitness Centre is that little
lump of concrete at the bottom of the
south parking lot that you probably
thought was a furnace room or some­
thing. True, it isn't large, but it's well
equipped and if you are interested in
sports, or just happen to notice what
sitting around in the cafeteria at
coffee breaks is doing to you, you
have lots of options available to help
you get into shaoe.

The Fitness Centre contains locker
rooms, showers, saunas, an equip­
ment room and a universal gym set
up. You can either go down on your·
own when there isn't anything sche­
duled, or you can join in a program.
Early Bird Fitness, Disco Fit and the
Running club operated last year,
along with lots of other things that you
can inquire about by calling Joe
Iacobellis, local 320 or Neil Chester
(Athletics Director) local 329.
· And if you'd like to know just how fit
you really are, there's a free Fitness
Testing service which will give you a
full going over on their equipment
(which even includes an ECG). Make
an appointment with them and they
will rate your condition and even set
up a fitness program specially tailored
to your needs.

STUDENT SOCIETY
the Society
If you are a student at the college
you pay something called a student
Fee and you are a member of the
Student Society. You can also call it a
Student Association or Student Union
but we kind of like the initials SS.
The SS ensures students a voice in
the administration and policies of the
college. There are student represen­
tatives on all college committees and
on the College Board (we'll explain
about the board later). The society
represents student needs and deals
with problems that come up.
The SS also provides social ser­
vices by sponsoring clubs, dances,
movies and the like and runs the Info
Centre.
If you want to know something
about the campus or have a problem,
go to the Student Society office on
the main floor of the Tower in A114.

Academic Rep - Nancy Campbell
Last year Nancy took Science
courses, worked on the Courier, sat
on the Physical Planning Committe
and the Instructional Board and was
involved with the SS.
Since the Student Society offices
are on the south campus and most of
the officers for the past two years
have been Career students, comm­
unications with the Academic stu­
dents is important and that's what
Nancy will be working on.
Career Reps - Murray Dee and Karen
Broome

Murray's a second year business
management student doing the job of
career rep for a second term. He and
Karen will be available for Career
students to talk to about their con­
cerns with student society.
There should be another Academic
Rep on Student Society, but since no
one ran in the spring, there isn't. By
elections will be scheduled as soon
as college is underway.

Clubs
So you are passionately interested
in Tiddlywinks or Evangelism and
want to get some people together
and form a club. Here's how.
Clubs are sponsored by the Stu­
dent Society. According to their
Policy Manual, a club is " ...a group of
people from the student body drawn
together by a common interest on the
understanding that this interest be
outside any educational department
in the college." To organize a club
you must get some people, advertise
a general meeting and elect an
executive. Then, submit the name of
the club and those of the executives
to the Student Society.

Funds are largely the responsibility
of individual clubs, however the
Student Society does provide finan­
cial assistance once a semester on
request (usually $75-$200 as long as
you need it for a good reason). Details
on all this you can get from the
Student Society, local 347.
Happy tiddlywinking.

Course unions
A Course Union is something like a
mini Student Society. The idea is that
all the students in a particular pro­
gram get together and form a group
which has academic, political and
social functions. Students get an
opportunity to participate in policy
decisions with their faculty and can
voice opinions or grievances with a
better chance of getting results.
If this sounds like just what you
need, contact Student Society and
get one of the info sheets on the
subject.
Some course unions that have
been around in past years are
Theatre students, Outdoor Recreation
students, Retail Fashion, Art and (the
infamous) Music students. A union is
a good idea, particularly if you have
some serious complaints about the
courses you're taking.

the Courier
The Courier is that epitome of
brilliant student journalism that is
published at the college every other
week. Thisjllustrious, superior paper
also publishes the Survival Guide.
The Courier started in 1968 as a
journalism class paper called the
Mountaineer and then continued
from 1969 to 1973 as the Id. The

Courier is no longer connected with
any programs at the college-it's
strictly volunteer and is funded by the
Student Society.
The Courier is typeset and laid out
here on campus in NF209 in the midst
of chaos and confusion, mayhem arid
debauchery at all hours of the day
and night. Interested?
The Courier is a member of
Canadian University Press which is· a
national cooperative organization for
news and information exchange.
There are over 60 college and univer­
sity papers in CUP across the country
and we get a weekly news and feature
service compiled in Ottawa.
The Courier needs help. We need
writers, photographers,. typesetters
(we'll train you), layout artists, artists,
ad salespeople, sports reporters,
eccentrics, hangers-on and campus
spies. Some positions on the paper
receive a minimal reimbursement (eg
$50/month) while others are strictly
volunteer.
Stick your head in the door of
NF209 any time or phone us up at
local 200. We're very friendly.

the Store
The boutique is run by the Retail
Fashion students and sells clothing,
artwork and other bits and pieces of
things, many created by art students
here at the college. It was located on
the second floor of the tower last
year, but is scheduled to move down
to the main floor, just outside the
Student Society office.
Stop by and browse, but beware of
the store's hours. Last year it was
open 11 :30 to 1 :30 Monday through
Thursday. So some dull lunch hour
when you're not cramming for a test...

THE BUS
Theoretically buses arrive at the
college at 7 minutes to the hour and
the half hour and leave at 8 minutes
after the hour and the half hour. This
theory does not pan out in bad
morning rush hours or on the several
afternoon runs that the bus leaves
five minutes early to make a loop up
by the Grantham bridge. Try not to cut
it too close.

If you are a full time (3 courses or
more} student at Cap you can get
you very own B.C. Hydro bus pass.
The pass is Hydro's concession to
the fact that fares are ridiculously
high, especially for students, but it
isn't a great deal of a concession. If
you use the bus at least ten times a
week you will probably find it worth­
while, partly because it's just handy
not having to have change around all
the time. If you use the bus more than
that, it's a good deal.
Bus passes will be available in
September from the college, for a
not-insignificant sum of money and
should be good until December 31. If
you're going to buy a pass, do so as
soon as possible.

Your ID card is that little blue and
white wallet sized plastic thing that
should have come with your confir­
mation of registration. If it didn't, go to
the Registrar's office and find out
about it.
Your ID card has your student
number on it which is a good thing
because no one ever remembers a
student number. It is practically a
necessity on campus and practically
useless anywhere else because you
need your ID card for signing out
library materials, films, AV equipment
and such, but most commercial
establishments won't accept it as ID
because it doesn't have your photo
on it.
Every time there is an election or a

Society will think up a new way to

mutilate your card so you can't vote
twice. And you can't vote without it.
If you lose your ID card you can get
it replaced by the Registrar's office,
but they'll charge you a couple of
dollars for the service.

Study space
The most notable thing about study
space on this campus is its absence.
If you are looking for a quiet table or
desk to work at, you're going to have
do some searching. There are caralls
in both the north and south libraries,
but not many and there are a lot of
distractions if your concentration
isn't the greatest. There is also a
quiet study room in the Social
Sciences area, as well as a lounge
set up that you can use. And there are
a few more desks located on the
bottom floor of the NF building,where
they incarcerate the natural sciences
and outdoor recreation faculty.
Apart from that you're on your own.
Schedules will be posted outside of
every classroom so you can check to
see when they'll be empty. If that
doesn't help and it's raining and you
aren't att_racted by the scenic possi­
aren't attracted by the inspirational
scenery of dirty cafeteria dishes or
flushing toilets, you are out of luck.
Take a long bus ride, visit a local
library or study at home.

I

There is a very nice, somewhat
expensive photocopier in the South
library and a lousy but cheaper one in
the North library. In the North library
you can also copy from microfilm on
the scanners for 10¢ a copy.
The administration has a lot of its
own photocopiers around, but if
you're thinking of sneaking a copy
some dark and stormy night you'll
probably be out of luck because
they're operated by Xerox keys. The
reason is not really because they're
suspicious of penny-pinching· stu­
dents, but if each department has a
coded key, it makes it easier for them
to keep track of how much it costs
them.
The Student Society also has a key
and if you need copies for some great
and exalted purpose (club business
or whatever) they'll probably let you
borrow it. Make it a good reason.
'

Typewriters
There are lots of lovely electric IBM
typewriters all over campus. They are
not for student use.
In the north library there are a
number of tempermerital manuals
which are for student use.
Alternatives: The student society
has a typewriter but they use it a lot.
The Courier has a manual but it isn't

18

working. If you look like faculty or a
creative writing student (kind of
strange) you might be able to get
away with using the electric in the
Humanities division workroom. Or
you can disguise yourself as staff. Or
bribe someone. Or write....

Telephones

There are many telephones on
campus. Somewhere in the college
by-laws it is rumoured to say that they
are not for student use (with the
exception of the Student Society and
the Courier). However, just in case
you want to pretend to use them, the
basic rules are these:
* Dial 9 to get an outside line.
* For inside calls, just dial the
appropriate 3 digit local.
* Hang up the phone for 15 seconds
after each call (so incoming calls can
get through).
* Calls coming through from outside
the college can be transferred by
depressing the switchhook, dialing
the local you want and then hanging
up when they answer (after telling
them that you are transferring a call).
If there's no answer, depress the
switchhook again and you should
have the caller back. Inside calls
cannot be transferred.
* Local numbers can be found (sur­
prise!) in the Local Directory. There
should be one by every phone that
you might be pretending to use.
Payphones are located on the
South campus just outside the
cafeteria and on the North campus
(all one of them) just outside the north
cafeteria. They occasionally work.

Cafeterias
Cafeteria food will not kill you. This
is the first thing you have to get into
your mind and keep there, despite
the constant jokes on the subject. In
fact for the price, you're not getting a
bad deal so quit griping.
The North Campus Cafeteria (NE
building) has hot meals at lunch and
dinner, a salad bar, milkshakes and
ice cream bars. It should be operating
the same hours as last year, which
were 8 am to 8:30 pm Monday through
Thursday and 8 to 3:30 on Fridays.
The staff at the cate in pleasant and
helpful, especially if you pick up your
dishes after you.
The South Campus Cafe Theatre
has a smaller selection of food. It's
open Monday through Thursday from
8:00 am to 3:30 pm and then from
7:00 - 9:00 pm. Or it was last year.
Fridays it likes to close at 1:30, but
who wants to be here on a Friday
anyway.
There's often noon hour entertain­
ment in the Cate-Theatre /(singers,
bands, comics, the student society),
and hopefully there might be some up
north this year.
If you don't want to eat at the cafe or
are weary of the food, you really don't
have much choice. You can bring
your own, or take a ten minutes hike
down to the Coachhouse (coffee
shop or pub) or the corner grocery at
the bottom of Lillooet. It'll probably be
more expensive, but then it's good
exercise.
If you have any complaints per­
taining to the food service on campus

see your Ombudsperson, Student
Rep, Food Service Committe, or if it's
urgent, Health Services (ND102).

Stores
Capilano College is conveniently
located miles from NOWHERE. If you
want to go to a bank, the nearest is at
Main and Mountain Highway (about
five blocks from Phibbs Exchange).
The nearest liquor store is a toss up
because they're all several miles
away (there's one at Dollarton, one on
2nd, just off Lonsdale and one in Lynn
Valley shopping Centre.) The nearest
supermarkets are also miles away.
However, there are the good old
corner grocery stores.
The nearest store is located at the
bottom of Lillooet, across from the
Coachhouse. It's hours are 10 - 9
Monday through Saturday and noon 6 on Sunday. If you have to get
something earlier or later than that
you can try the store just across from
the Seylynn Hall (where the bus turns
before the overpass on its way to
Cap.)

the Coachhouse
You may wonder why the Coach
house hours are incl.uded in Survival
tips. Then you have a lot to learn.
If you want to eat somewhere other
than the college, the Coachhouse
coffee shop, located upstairs, to the
rigl)t of the main lobby, is open from 7
am to 11 pm Monday through Satur­
day and 8 am to 11 on Sunday. The
food is more expensive than the.
campus cafes but edible. But DON'T
order beer or other liquor there­
they're hideously expensive.
Now, to the crux of the matter. The
Coachhouse pub (downstairs and
'around the corner-just follow the
dump truck drivers) is open from .
11 :30 am to midnight weeknights and
11 :30 to 1 a.m. on Saturdays. They
have draft, a miniscule dance floor,
red and black decor, tolerable but
loud music on weekends, dirty joke
machines in the washrooms and all
those other delightful things you
associate with beer parlours. They
also have a lot of Cap students
around.

WHAT TO DO WHEN:
...they tow your car
away

Scream and curse and jump up and
down.
Then you go to the nearest phone
and phone up Tritow. Their number is
all over campus, but if you don't
happen to see it around, just phone
the Switchboard. They should know it
well by now. Then go pick up your car
(in a lot near the Coachhouse).
One warning-you're going to have
to have the cash on you. Reposs­
essing your machine will cost you
something under $30 and they don't
accept personal cheques, collateral
or Mastercharge.
The best idea is not to park illegally
in the first place. Our diligent friend,
the tow truck driver, is always around,
as anyone who has been at the
college tor a while can testify.
And by the way, they don't take
responsibility if they hook up your
heap and the rear bumper falls off.

...you lose something
Scream and curse and jump up and
down.
Then go to the Info Centre. They
handle lost and found items all year
and will do their best for you. Once a
semester they do a big cleanout of
unclaimed items and if something
comes in that's valuable they'll some­
times advertise it in the Courier.

O'Day Books, 240 Lonsdale - take
the Crosstown bus from Cap to 3rd
and Lonsdale and walk downhill on
the east side of the street.
Pacific Books, 1135 Lonsdale transfer at Phibbs Exchange from the
Crosstown to the Queens and get off
on Lonsdale in front of the North
Shore Credit Union (around 11th).
Pacific is right across the street.
Discount Books and Records, 11O
W. 18th is located just off Lonsdale.
Catch the Queens to 17th, walk u'p to
18th and go west a few feet, I mean
metres.
..
The Bookstall, 1425 Clyde in West
Van, is the largest of the lot, but the
furthest from Cap. To get there take
the Crosstown to Park Royal, transfer
to a West Van bus that goes along
Marine Drive as far as 15th, and get
out in front of the Mcdonalds. If you
walk through Mcdonalds, through the
parking lot and onto Clyde you will be
right in front of the Bookstall.
There are, of course, lots of other
bookstores in North Van, but if you're
going to buy it new it will probably be
cheaper at the campus bookstore as
they sell on a cost recovery, not profit
basis.

...you lock your car
keys in
Scream and curse and jump up and
down.
Then, assuming that you are not
good at breaking into cars and don't
carry coat hangers in your pocket, go
to the south campus security office
(just beside the registration desk,
across from the Info Centre) and talk
. to. the nice people there. They've
handled this problem before and won't
laugh TOO hard as they get your car
open.

WHO'S WHO

College Board
Which is your other alternative.
Classified ads in the Courier are free
to students, so try advertising.

...you want to buy a
book cheap or sell it
dear

Everyone gets to that time where
they have a four page list of texts to
buy and all of them are expensive.
Unfortunately most of them will have
to be purchased at the college book­
store. You can try other college and
university bookstores, but they aren't
likely to be any cheaper.
You can also, especially for very
common texts, dictionaries and
novels, try the used bookstores on
the North Shore. There are tour.

The College Board is the central
decision-making body at the college.
There are twelve members on the
Board-two each are appointed by
School Districts 44, 45 and 48 (North
Van, West Van and Howe Sound) and
six are appointed by the Department
of Education. Currently ther::: is also
an observer from District 46 (Sechelt).
Non voting representatives who
attend the Board meetings are two
staff, two faculty and two students.
The principal answers to the board
and all decisions on college policy
etc. are made by the Board. The
Board is the Powers That Be around
this college.

Committees
There are also a number of comm­
ittees around the college that handle

20
specific areas such as the Health &
Safety Committee, Food Services,
Physical Planning, Women's Studies
and the Principal's Advisory Comm­
ittee. All of these have reps from staff,
faculty, administration and students.

A.U.C.E.
A.U.C.E. stands for Association of
University and College Employees.
The staff at the college are members
of AUGE-Local 4 to be precise.
The current president of AUCE 4 is
Bob McKee from Central Stores.

RELAXING

If you are new at this college, take
heart-you are not alone. David
Wooley is the new kid on the block in
administration. He started here as
registrar in August and previous to
that was at Selkirk college. He's lived
in B. C. now about a year and a half
and he really hasn't been around long
enough for us to tell you any scan­
dalous details about him. We'll work
on it.

Academic Dean.

The Faculty Association is what the
faculty members around here belong
to and negotiate contracts with the
administration through. Wanda Tilley
is president right now.

Dean of Instructional Services
which basically means everything
else that the other two deans don't
cover, is Doug Jardine. Jardine has
also been around the college for a
while-he was acting principal for a
while before Gallagher got here.

Principal

Faci I ities Supervisor
Frank Gelin is also new at the
college. Dean of Academic Studies,
he seems to have settled in here well
since he arrived this spring. Gelin and
Woolley, just out of interest, are the
youngest administrators around here
as they're both in their middle thirties.

Career/Vocational

Paul Gallagher is the principal of
this college, so now if you see him
around you can recognize him and
say hi, instead of wondering who the
guy in the suit is. Gallagher's well
known for his concern with student
issues and if you have a serious beef
about the college, he will probably
make time to talk to you.
Basically, Gallagher is an OK guy.

Harold Kirchner is just back after a
year's absence. He's the Dean· of
Career and Vocational Studies and
has been around the college a while.

If you bump into a fierce looking
man with a cigar, chances are you've
met Ken Hughes, Facilities Super­
visor of the college. Ken has a bad
bark. And a bad bite. And he keeps
everyone jumping. But he's basically
a good guy, so don't worry.

Eateries
The nearest places to eat that are
interesting aren't near. The Coach
house has tolerable food (a coffe
shop and a restaurant-we won't
count what's in the pub) and the
Lynnwood and Sports Beat both have
food. One place that's worth hitting is
the Venice Bakery on Main Street
about four blocks west of Phibbs.
They have fresh baked food and a deli ·
there and are rumoured to be really
good.
Just off Keith Road, at the bottom of
Grand Boulevard is the Czechoslo­
vakian Restaurant which is quite
reasonable. The Haeri Mai on Lons­
dale and First is good for lunches
(New Zealand Food) and if you get
into fish try the Oyster Bar at
Lonsdale and 15th. For curry fans the
Isa Lei (around 14th & Lonsdale) is
also low in price.
And there are lots more, so check
around.
If you get the munchies at 5 am you

have only two choices-Bino's at
20th and Lonsdale and Denny's by
the Lions Gate Bridge are both 24
hours. As is the 7-11 on 3rd St. near
Lonsdale.
But we're not going to tell you
where the McDonalds are.
The nearest Chinese is Yics on 3rd,
just off Lonsdale. The _best Chinese is
Capilano Heights right by Cleveland
Dam. There are numerous pizza
places but our vote goes to Doxa
Pizza at 18th & Lonsdale which has
. whole wheat crusts. For health food
there is a health food bar in the store
at 14th · & Lonsdale next to McGills
and another in the Lynn Valley mall.
Bon appetit.

Drinking
establishments
There will be those occasions
when you want to drown your aca­
demic sorrows or celebrate success
or forget your homework or inebriate
yourself arid you'll want · to find

somewhere to do so. The closest
spot is the Coachhouse.
The pub downstairs serves draft
and other drinks and rates about 7 on
a grotty scale of 1-10. Upstairs there
is a coffee shop which is licensed and
· will you ever pay for it. There is also a
tolerable sort of bar as bars go, with
low key entertainment in the evening.
Next nearest to the college is the
Lynnwood Hotel which has a pub and
coffee shop. The Lynnwood adver­
ises itself as "the home of the long
distance trucker". ·Need we say more?
Also nearby is the Sports Beat Inn
Oust off the Second Narrows Bridge).
No one here has been there which
must say someting about it. They
used to have gong shows every
week. The management has changed,
just recently, however, (again) so we
really can't say what it's going to be
like.
Other places if you like draft, are
the Olympic (on 2nd just off Lonsdale),
the Avalon (Marine Drive, just past
Sears) and perhaps a few others. We
rate the Avalon the best.
For more cosy drinking, there is a
neighbourhood pub at Queens and
Lonsdale (the Queens Cross) and
one in Horseshoe Bay (the Troller).
Some people like the bar in the
Harvest Restaurant-the Snuggery.
And from there you're on your own.

IN A LARGER PERSPECTIVE ...

The history of Capilano College :s,
believe it or not, really interesting. It's
certainly got more to it that the little
paragraph they put in the front of the
calendar.
Getting a college for the North
Shore involved quite a fight. During
the 60's a lot of people decided that a
college was needed to provide voc­
ational training for high school grads
and an alternative to trekking all the
way out to UBC. This was also when
they had begun to think about con­
tinuing education.
So, educators, politicians, busin­
essmen and residents got together,
along with reps from School Districts
44, 45, 46 and 48 (N & W Van, Howe
Sound and Sechelt) and made a
proposal to Victoria. Victoria was
unenthused. The proposal was made
a aouple more times. Still no luck.
Finally when Victoria OK'd colleges
everywhere else the North Shore
residents got annoyed enough to
kick up a stink that the province
couldn't ignore. And the college was
begun.
Districts 44, 45 and 48 passed a
referendum to fund the institution and
it was opened in 1968. But not anything like it is now.

In 1968 Capilano College no build­
ings, no books and only one full-time
faculty member. Classes were held
after school hours in West Van high.
The first fall the college expected
maybe 400 students and then 726
enrolled. Cap was a success.
For the first few years the college
operated on a haphazard basis with
portables in the back of West Van
High and classes held in five or six
different locations. Students had to
bus from class to class, in an eternal
frantic rush all over North Vancouver.
But those crazy factors about Cap­
the do-it-yourselfness of the place
and its small size created a spirit of
unity and camaraderie that has
largely been lost now.
Warehouse facilities were used on
Welch Street for a while, but the big
move came in 1973 when the college
opened up the Lynnmour campus
here. Finding somewhere to put the
college had taken that long because
North Shore residents were worried
about traffic problems ("oh no, you're
not putting the college here!") and the
municipal governments did not want
to use up potentially valuable land on
a big institution that didn't pay taxes.
That's why they stuck us to
hellandgone out at Lynnmour surr­
ounded by the garbage dump, the

dog kennels, the cemetary and the
Coachhouse.
B building came. first, then A tower
and then a year or two later the north
campus portables were put in. The
portables were supposed to be a
temporary measure before they put in
a permanent building up north, but
because of lack of funds they're still
in use. Due to building regulations ·
they've had to upgrade them this
summer, and much to the relief of
everyone who's been dripped on in
dass, they've added new roofs.
More facilities will be coming in the
future because we are so desper­
ately overcrowded for space that
Victoria couldn't ignore us any longer
(sound familiar?) A gym is on the
horizon as well as a new building on
the east side of the inter-campus
path.
This is Cap's eleventh year. How
successful the college has been in
achieving its goals is debatable
depending who you ask. But the
college that North Shore residents
went door to door and then to Victoria
fighting for has proven itself a viable
institution.

Other cam puses

Since Cap serves the Howe Sound
area as well as the North Shore, one
of the emphases in the past has been
building satellite campuses near to
the students. There is a campus of
Cap in Squamish right now and an
office in Pemberton. As well, classes
are offered in a number of different
locations on the North Shore. It's a
mere drop in the bucket, though-to
get most classes you have to come to
Lynnmour.

Can vou join?

Yes, if you are an educator or the close relative of a member who is an educator. Over 36,000 people are
members now and assets total over $210,000,000.00. Come into your nearest Co-op office for ful I detai Is.
