Classes could start by January 1978

Douglas College officials hope to be able to announce details regarding leased facilities to be developed as a campus for Langley by mid-September.

Douglas College Council Chairman john Sutherland said he hoped modifications to the site could be undertaken this fall, in order that college classes could be held in the facility by january, 1978.

"We're looking forward to the day when the Langley cam­pus will be equivalent to our Richmond Campus in the level of activity and community ser­vice," he said.

"The council is pleased with the co-operation we've received from the Ministry of Education in providing special funding to the college for this expansion in response to requests from both the school district and the college.

"In the past, Langley School District has been a user of college services and programs in proportion to its population size and financial contributions, but the addition of a local cam­pus in Langley will allow the college to be used by a greater range and number of students," he continued.

The college's operations In Langley actually begin this Sep­tember, when Douglas College takes over the Adult Basic Education and secondary com· pletion programs presently of­fered by Langley School Dis· trlct.

Secondary school completion courses will be held in the eve­ning in Langley Secondary School, as advertised this year in the Langley night school bro­chure.

The courses include Math, English, Social Studies, Science, Business and other major fields, and successful completion of the program results in a Ministry of Education Secondary School Diploma.

Douglas College bas also assumed responsiblllty for of­fering grade eight upgrading courses in basic reading and writing for adults, which were previously offered by the school board.

These, and courses for up-

grading to the grade 10 level, will be offered both full or part time, day or evening, at Murray­ville Elementary School.

They will become part of the overall Adult Basic Education program offered for the past year by Douglas College.

By January 1978, the college hopes to offer clerical, business, drafting and university-transfer programs in Langley, with book­keeping added by February, and community education courses to complement those offered by the school district.

The new campus should be fully operational by September 1979-dependlng on approvals from the ministry-with the addition then of horticulture, construction, basic vocational, and possibly equine programs, said Mr. Sutherland.

CHAIRMAN SUTHERLAN~

"Further development of the Langley campus will depend on student enrolment, community demand and the availability of funds," he added.

"However, possibilities for the future include programs and courses in food services and allied fields, retail merchandis­ing, health and medical service aide training, and graphic and commercial art," he concluded.

First nurses to graduate

from Douglas In a graduation ceremony

Friday, Aug. 26, the first 49 graduates from Douglas Col­lege's new nursing program were presented with their pins, diplomas and caps.

In keeping with a 100-year-oid tradition, Douglas College's first graduates have designed a uuique pin which will be worn as part of their unlforms.

The gold pin contains the Douglas College logo in the centre with the words "Douglas College Nursing" in a circle around the logo.

These Registered Nurse can­didates graduated at a ceremony at New Westminster Secondary School with close to 1,000 friends and relatives in atten­dance.

In a slight break from tradi­tion, the graduates were issued with their caps, also designed by the students, just prior to the graduation exercises.

At the same ceremony, 37 students who had successfully completed the first year of the nursing program were presented with their certificate in basic nursing-training to the level of a practical nurse.

Each of the 11 schools of

nursing in B.C. has its own pin design to indicate from which school the R.N. has graduated.

The ceremony was chaired by Director of Admissions Gerry Della Mattia, with special greet· log to the grads from Director of Health Services Dr. Sheilah Thompson, and college principal Dr. George Wootton.

Pins were presented by Nur­sing Head Win Matheson, and diplomas and certificates by College Council Chairman John Sutherland.

The president of the student nursing association at the col­lege, Murita Henschel of White Rock, was chosen valedictorian for the class, and Vice-President of the RNABC, Stephanie Gras­set, was special guest speaker at the ceremony.

Awards were presented to: Doreen Steel o( Coquitlam for general proficiency, Sylvia Shepard of Surrey for general proficiency as an access student, Frances Hayashi of Chllliwack for professional growth, Nancy Kalogerakos of Langley for gen­eral proficiency In basic nursing and Nancy Thompson of New Westminster for cUnlcal profi· ciency In basic nursing •

Johnston, vice-president exter­nal Doug Coates and treasurer Cynthia Cridth.

Nominations for these posi­tions and for the four reps at large have now begun.

One major change Johnston will make is to rotate the student council meetings among the four campuses. They will tenta· tively be held every two weeks.

"We'll have to see how it goes. If it doesn't look like it's going to work we'll go back to having all the meetings at one campus, probably New West,"

said the president. This semester, he will be en­

rolled in courses at both the New Westminster and Surrey campuses in an attempt to "co­ordinate activities at all four campuses."

At the start of his term in April, Johnston had hoped to make available more leisure space for students to lessen the burden on the libraries.

The space, however, "just isn't available."

He also hinted towards a dis­tribution of the intramural equipment in the near future.

Maple Ridge centre Continued from page 1

Some of these classes wili be held during the day, and some in the evening, and each carries three credits.

For details or to register and pay fees, visit the campus during office hours, phone 467-6811, or call the main college Admissions office at 588-6404.

As well, several courses are being offered in Maple Ridge this fall by the college's division of Continuing Education.

On Saturday, Oct. 15 a one­day workshop entitled Caring for House Plants will be held in Maple Ridge Senior Secondary from 9:30a.m. to 4:30p.m .

A morning and weekend course entitled Psychology for Women is being co-sponsored with Maple Ridge Parks and Recreation beginning Sept. 28 in the Centennial Art Centre.

For more information on these two courses, call Continuing Education at 588-6404.

Richmond expansion The Richmond campus of

Douglas College is undergoing yet another expansion helping to make room for the thousands of new and returning students.

The new two-story wing of the campus will contain the library, new faculty offices and larger classrooms and laboratories.

When asked about the new plans, Campus Supervisor Joe

Demers said, "Most rooms and

facilities will be larger. But," he continued, "the loser will also gain something."

For example, the journalism lab will be slightly smaller in area but will gain a much needed darkroom for the express use of journalism students. dents.

Stories Needed for the Pinion

Bogus Boutiques

With the start of the Fall semester The Pinion is once again looking for news stories and items-as well as photographs-of interest to our readers.

For the information of new students, The Pinion is a newspaper dedicated to the students, faculty and staff of all four campuses of Douglas and to the communities this college serves .

The Pinion is written and produced, for the most part, by students in the journalism and newspaper pro­duction courses at Douglas under the auspices of the College Council.

The object is to keep everyone-students, staff and faculty-abreast of the happenings at all four cam­puses, and is basically to perform the same functions as a newspaper in the community.

This first edition for the fall is simply a "Welcome to Douglas" edition, but as the semester moves on members of The Pinion staff will be out looking for items of interest.

We want all who are involved in Douglas in any way to feel that this is "your" newspaper and that the jour­nalism students who produce The Pinion stand ready to help where they can.

So, if you have a gripe, something nice to say, a story to tell, an editorial, a column, or just a little item you may think is of interest, please contact us.

And by the way, we would appreciate it if you would follow some simple rules for preparing your item to be turned.in to our editors.

Here are some standard guidelines for preparing copy, and we hope you will follow as many of them as you car:~-it will help us a great deal: 1. Always type your material, DOUBLE SPACED,

setting your typewriter for 60 UNITS to a line. This allows us to put in editing marks and typesetting instructions on either side of your copy.

2. In top left corner of page please put the title of the item you wish printed, your name, and/or that of your organization, your phone number, address, and date, such as:

Big party planned john Doe Phone 273-5461, local 33 November 2/76

3. Please begin your copy a THIRD of the way down the page. Indent for each paragraph. Again this allows us space for editing, instructions, etc.

4. Be sure to NUMBER all pages. If item is carried on next page, put "MORE" in lower right hand corner of page. Always put "30" at the end, or last page of your item.

5. Do not type or write on the back of a page. Use another sheet of paper.

6. End sheets of copy at the end of a sentence or, pre­ferably, at the end of a paragraph. Never continue it on the next page. Start out with new sentence or paragraph on next page.

Should you have any questions concerning publication of your item please contact the media clerk, or the news editor of The Pinion, Richmond campus . Phone 273-5461 .

There should be laws restric­ting the following items: the in­sufferable prices and poor quali­ty connected with today's chic boutiques , and the hemorrhoid­inducing benches I had to sit on to get an inside look at the absurd parade of young con­sumers frequenting these tin­selized trash-bins.

STUDIO 58

Those of you who like your theatre light, fast , and funny, can reserve right now for Studio 58's next production, The Ghost Train.

It is a true vintage comedy­thriller set in a dreary English railway station in 1925.

Last year many Studio 58 audience members, in the words of one reviewer , "scraughed (screamed-laughed) through The Cat and The Canary, and patrons of The Ghost Train seem destined to the same fate.

It has the same bright mixture of laughter, thrills, romance, and murder, with a very talented cast assembled under the direc­tion of Antony Holland.

During the run of this pro­duction, for the first time at Studio 58, there will be no per­formances on Monday nights­performances will run Tuesday through Sunday.

Opening night is Thursday September 15 and the produc­tion runs through to October 8.

Tickets are $2.50 Tuesday to Thursday and $3.00 Friday to Sunday . Curtain time is 8:00 p.m . and may be made by phoning 324-5227.

Studio 58 is run in conjunction with Vancouver Community Col­lege and is located at the Lan­gara Campus of VCC.

Dear Douglas

seemed hardly optimistic, buy­ing jeans and shirts at $25 a shot.

These wallet-wrecking prices would have a meeker sting if the clothes would fit and wear well, but they don't.

Girls seem to be hit the hardest. States one who has shopped at these places, "I used to pay $30 for a simple cot­ton dress. After two washings I already had it at the sewing machine fixing the seams.''

"Fit is also a problem," she continued. "I take a 38 bust and a 32 waist, but if I try this size at a store I can barely squeeze everything in. If I'm lucky and do fit them in a store, after I've washed them they're two sizes too small again.''

The source of the trouble seems to lie in the idea that each male and female has an up-to­date fashion figure.

This is not the case. If girls and guys were as skinny as the models most well-known clothi­ers display in their windows, we would have a very sick race of people to contend with .

Would it be too much to ask of manufacturers pushing these styles, to make them in a range of sizes that would fit most and with some degree of quality about them?

The only hope I can offer is to step back a few decades, learn to sew, and pray to the heavens that the pattern manufacturers are not the con artists the retailers are .

Pushing Parliament Despite the fact Douglas Col­

lege has supported the course on Parliamentary Procedure since 1972, there are still many organizations in need of trained leaders to conduct their meet­ings.

Very often confusion and mis­understanding reaches a point where issues of procedure con­sume time that should go into the real work of the organiza­tion.

ParUamentary rules for com· mon sense action will be ex­plained by Instructor Lillian Bellow, based on Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised. The course commences Tuesday, September 13, 1977, 7:30-9:30, Douglas College, Surrey Cam­pos.

The course is of value to

members and officers alike who desire to develop leadership skills, and particularly to those who hold public office. · Special consideration will be

given to returning students with specific problems.

Topics for study include prin­ciples of parliamentary law, duties of officers, classifications of motions and handling of amendments; how to bring busi· ness before the meeting and how to expedite business.

Learn how to organize a meeting by effective training, and the use of protocol and amenities to bring about smooth transitions during a meeting.

In addition, specific meeting situations experienced by the students can be analyzed in the class.

Literacy Problem

The 1971 census figures indi­cate there are approximately 80 ,000 adults in the Douglas College region who are in need of basic literacy training, says instructor Nora Boyer.

Ms. Boyer is coordinator of the Basic Literacy Training pro­gram for adults which will begin at Douglas College Oct. 3 in Coquitlam.

"Research indicates that the illiterate adult is highly adept at camouflaging his level of skill~.'' she added.

The literacy program at Doug· las is designed to help people who, for a variety of reasons, have not developed reading and writing skills beyond the grade four level, she explained.

The Basic Literacy Training courses are designed specifical­ly to teach adults to read and write . "Instructors will be sen­sitive to the low self-concept which almost inevitably accom­panies an inability to rea~ and write," commented Ms. Boyer.

High school breakdown

BY ROSS FAIR WEATHER Pinion Staff Writer

Has it really been that long since one had to know the basics of arithmetic, spelling and grammar? It appears so.

Modern education has shown us the true meaning of scholastic reform: a lot of verbal diarrhea, evalua­tion days and too many sieve-headed students.

The main breakdown of basic education lies in our incompetent high school system; is it the lack of competent teachers, bad educational facilities, or the emphasis placed on athletics?

The cause of the problem is elusive but the result is all too obvious: students cannot spell, they are immune to mathematics (hurrah for the calculator) and they revel in the lack of discipline.

Teachers lay the blame on students. One recently told me: "As I walk down the hall I almost trip over the pairs-upon-pairs of students making out. If I ask them to stop, they curse. If I ask them to st~nd, they say, 'Make me.' If I do, I can be taken to court for assault.''

This can hardly be taken as a reason for low marks but it does show a high degree of disrespect.

Students blame teachers. States one: "They don't tell you anything. They just give you your -assignment and tell you when it has to be in. We're never taught any more. There's not one teacher I know who will take the time to show you something by yourself. It's always 'we did it,' or 'we;ll do it in class.' They don't understand that some students have a hard time coping in a class environment.''

A good point. But then again group teaching has been around for a long time and consequently so have intelligent people.

The solution to tbis problem may be old, rehashed and sometimes distasteful, but has proved itself effective.

Get back to the old methods-the old teaching with the emphasis on school instead of sports, and the old ways of discipline using the dated but always useful corporal punishment.

Student cards useless as bus passes

BY RICK WELDON Pinion News Editor

Contrary to popular belief, Douglas College student cards may not be used to get a student rate ·on B.C. Hydro busses .

This sad but true news comes as a bit of a shock to some of the Pinion staff, as selected members have had an almost perfect success rate in so doing.

However, with the printing of this, some students may opt to take the honest route and pay the full adult fare-more than double the student rate . Fools.

This brings up the point of why the student rate was first established.

One can only speculate that all reduced fares, be they for senior citizens, children or students, were originated to provide public transport for low-income persons.

Why then do college and university students not get the same treatment as high school students in regards to reduced fares when, as often as not, their personal budgets are in worse shape?

THIS YEAR'S CLASSES •••

Alternatives or packages? Hello to all those attending

Douglas College for the fall semester.

To start this term out with some new ideas and some old ideas, I would like to mention briefly a few thoughts I've had on the concept: Alternatives­the choosing or omitting of numerous alternatives.

BY BILL BURNHAM Special to The Pinion

In particular, I wish to refer specifically to this college. · To begin with I would like to

say that, in my opinion, Douglas has initiated some very interes­ting and somewhat unique types of alternatives over its short but dynamic reign in this region. But (alas), I fear for what has been incorporated "successful­ly'' is of the past and should be considered as .. . only the begin­ning.

In retrospect, some of us can look back over the previous years and question-whatever happened to those alternatives that did not continue up 'til now.

For an example of just a few, there was the student Anti­calendar; Douglas Four; even the student government's news­paper The Other Press (it is presently somewhat retarded by lack of starting drive).

For those of you who have no idea of what these "had-been" things were, you can relax. It seems that there is some action being taken to resurrect these old, but "real", alternatives.

What of the many past alter­natives that are not being re­introduced, and what of the new (uninitiated) alternatives that are now just coming to light?

Some of the new (uninitiated) alternatives that are presently being considere(i by various groups and individuals are: an organized inter-campus car­pool; a co-op "natural foods" lunch service; a break-away student society.

We should also perhaps look at a few of the newer alterna­tives that seem to be working well.

First, the student nurses have formed an association (it also

seems that the dental assistant students will be following along these lines as well).

Second, ? .. . well , I'm sure there are many other new alter­natives that I just haven't heard about.

So far I have talked about, for the most part, only the extras and niceties of a college life style. What about the alterna­tives that affect the classroom and the academics?

Briefly, some of these alter­natives can be viewed as: stu­dent projects for credit; guided studies; audits . There is also an increasing number of' 'dazzling" career and diploma programs. One such new one is the ''Diplo­ma of Associate in Communica­tions", with all the ear markings of a nice try.

I wonder ... have I been going on about "alternatives" or "packages"? ·It seems that our college choices are presented as nice neat packages, all of them designed to get and hopefully hold the student's interest.

But what is the one most basic of all college packages? I would like to suggest that the class evaluations might be. These are the packages that a student's " hard" work will be based on; These packages are sometimes

introduced as nice neatly typed outlines, with all the particulars, though sometimes they can be· disguised as a verbally unde­fined mumble.

Usually, these packages come designed with iron-clad require­ments, though in a few cases, instructors have felt fit to go so far as to offer students open­ended alternatives - not just packages.

So the thing to watch out for, on the ·first day of each one of your classes, is what kind of "real" alternatives (ones in which you can choose or omit) can you expect to base your up­coming four months work on. Don't sit back and accept the in­structor's package if you don't -like it. Try to work out an alter­native that will meet with every­one's satisfaction.

Speak up and you'll be sur­prised at what kind of good things will come of your eager­ness to have a choice. If you don't express your ideas, you may find that you're enrolled in classes that you'll quickly grow to fear.

For is it not true that fear is the choice of a coward-" ... for what makes cowardice is the act of renouncing or yielding"­(Jean-Paul Sartre).

The rest is history BY ROSS FAIRWEATHER

Pinion Staff Writer

Few news or personal events have affected the masses as much as the recent passing of our accepted crowned heads of comedy and rock 'n' roll.

Elvis Aaron Presley and Julius Henry (Groucho) Marx held their respective audiences with an iron grip and left behind them millions of devastated fans the world over.

Presley started his 27 year reign over rock in a small Memphis recording studio cutting a $4 record for his mother's birthday. ·

It was in this Sun Records studio that Elvis was dis­covered by Sam Phillips who often claimed to be looking for a "black sound in a white boy" to put Sun Records on the music map.

Presley soon left Sun Records to work with ace promoter Colonel Tom Parker who got Elvis his biggest break. On the Ed Sullivan show he sang his hit single Hound Dog to, what else, a hound dog.

The rest is history. The King survived a string of bad movies and equally rated albums to come up with com­paratively few hits, considering the number of songs he recorded.

Upon his death, radio stations stopped their regular programming to present tributes to the fallen King. Record stores sold out of Presley albums-the Vancouver RCA warehouse was emptied of his works within two days of his passing-and staunch fans the world over went into bitter mourning.

We can only be thankful we live in an age where the songs and memories · of this music giant can be instantly recaptured by a spin of a turntable. Long live the memories.

Groucho Marx, the "wit wizard" of American comedy, passed away recently in a Los Angeles hospital of pneumonia.

Groucho began his seven-decade career with his looney brothers Harpo, Chico, Gummo and Zeppo in vaudeville.

The Brothers Marx (minus Gummo who dropped out) moved from Broadway in the lO's to Hollywood where they delighted their audiences with such movies as Horse Feathers and A Night at the Opera.

Groucho then moved off alone to host his TV show called You Bet Your Life, where he maintained his trademarks of high eyebrows and ever-present cigars.

The king of comedy had a quip for every occasion. Upon accepting a medal from France he blatently asked, "Can it be hocked?" When it was mentioned that he always moved with gorgeous women he stated, ''They're very useful at night and frequently during the day.''

Modern comedians can always take a lesson from this prince of laughs who even when talking about his passing said, ''I hope they bury me next to a straight man.''

Free noon-hour films Mike Ruskin, of the audio

visual department on the Surrey Campus, announced a few weeks ago that starting the week of September 12th the library ' s A.V. assistants will be showing an assortment of free noon-hour films.

BY BILL BURNHAM Special to The Pinion

Ruskin explained that the main purpose of these special presentations is to give the Douglas College-owned films more exposure to the students.

The library hopes that stu­dents will be more encouraged to take out these fllms for their own personal use.

Figures supplied by the lib­rary show that of 5,496 fllms booked last year approximately 4,500 were taken out by staff and faculty, and the remainder, some 900, were taken out by students.

Supposedly, the showings have been confirmed at all the campuses except Coquitlam, and interested students from Coquit­lam should inquire with Mary Dick in the library.

There will be posters on each campus, advertising the time and place of the films, but in the meantime the following are a few of the showings and their themes:

SEPTEMBER'S THEME: MODERN MAN "GROWING UP ABSURD IN 1977": Citizen Harold; To See Or Not To See, Frank Film, Propaganda Mes­sage, T.V. Sale; Boomsville, New Alchemists, Great Ameri­can Goose Egg, Air; (And more).

OCTOBER'S THEME: PRIVILEGE AND PREJUDUCE "A PEAK UNDER THE RUG": Last Grave at Dinbazi, Hunger, Balablok, Charlie Squash Goes To Town, Reaction-A Society In Crisis, The Ballad Of Crow­foot, Neighbour (And more).

NOVEMBER'S THEME: "FEATURES, FASCINATING FOLKS, AND FUN": Whistling Smith, World of Andrew Wyeth, Making of Butch Cassidy and

the Sundance Kid, Wild Dogs of Africa, Tit For Tat, Them Thar Hills (And more).

DECEMBER'S THEME: ANIMATION: Casey At The Bat, Peter And The Wolf, Chairy Tale, Evolution, The Street, Hand, Mr. Frog Went A Courting (And more).

Ruskin feels that he would like to give a little extra, and in

doing so he wants to introduce the themes of each showing with a two-minute rap, plus he wants to hand out short questionnaires requesting feedback from the students as to what they would like to see.

In the long term, Michael wishes to diversify these noon­hour showings with comedy records, slide presentations, and old classic films.

Retail program Douglas College, Richmond

Campus, is offering a two-year diploma program in retail mer­chandising for students who want to improve their know­ledge and qualify themselves for employment in this specific field.

There will be a study of mer­chandising principles, practices, and processes as they relate to total marketing.

ACC 100 (Introduction to Ac­counting), COM 110 (Career Communications), and ECO 101 (The Canadian Economy) are also included.

Dear Douglas Dear Douglas,

I wish to pass all my courses this year . What are the going rates for bribes on teachers and how do I approach my prospective clients . A. Capone Jr.

Dear Mr. Capone: All I will say is that good marks are less expensive

than having Dear Douglas letters answered . That' ll be 25c please. Doug

Dear Douglas: Is it true that when leaving a darkroom door open , all

the dark leaks out? Your Local Mushroom

Dear Magic: Yes , this is true .therefore, mushroom and pho­

tographers must be kept in darkrooms (with doors closed) and fed lots of B.S. Doug

Dear Douglas, Due to last year' s attempt at hard core porn (your

centre-fold showing yourself in the " all together" ), I was extremely ill all summer. Will you be doing this sort of thing again . Deathbed Dick

Dear Dick: I wil l do this only if the demand is as great as last

year' s . Get your hand off my knee, Albert . love, Doug

Peter and Eileen Caddy will bring 300 slides and a film, and will tell how Findhorn began fifteen years ago in a humble trailer, and has grown into a thriving community complete with a new age university , com­mitted to the growth of people as well as plants.
