_Mbso:

Last month’s INside predicted that April
showers would bring May flowers.
Looking back, it seems the rhyme should
have been that April showers bring more
showers ... and more showers . . . and
more showers. I guess that’s what you get
for trying to outguess Mother Nature. For
those of you looking at your drowned
tomato plants and wondering if spring
will come by summer, here’s a little news
from around the College . . . and here’s

hoping that June will finally bring the sun.

Badminton Blunder...

Last month’s INside incorrectly reported
the names of Douglas College’s hard-
working Badminton coaches. Apologies
to Peter Chen and Dak Ban, and good
luck for next season!

Staff Changes...

The Centre for Educational Technology
welcomes Chris McDowell and Mikki
Herbold as regular part-time Media
Production Technicians for the David
Lam Campus while Lynne Currie
becomes the regular afternoon Student
Services Centre Clerk at Royal Avenue.

In the Commmunications and Marketing
Office, Kathy Para moves to permanent
staff as Office Assistant. Christine
Untherthiner has also become the
permanent part-time Alumni Relations
Officer, with a temporary office number
of 525-1307.

On a general note, Basic Occupational
Education Technicians and Employment
Specialists have moved from Child,
Family and Community Studies into
Student Development, under new Dean
Ted James.

Trip Clip...

Marty Sulek took a few days off from the
Foundation for a quick road trip to
Ontario with wife Alison, currently
studying medicine in Calgary. Their
favourite stop? Ottawa, believe it or not.
“Because of the National Gallery, of
course” says art-lover Marty, an active
member of the Amelia Douglas Gallery
Committee. Meanwhile, the Foundation’s
Mark Crozet and spouse Darlene headed
for Disneyland—and yes, Mark did meet
Mickey—before taking a leisurely cruise
back up the coast.

Clip Trip...

Media Librarian Susan Ashcroft screened
eight illuminating video clips as part this
season’s final WomenSpeak Institute
event, “Imaging Women: Imagining
Ourselves.” Susan arranged the images to
show the history of representations of
women from the beginnings of patriarchy
to the present day. WomenSpeak’s Gillies
Malnarich is now seeking ideas for next
year’s program, so give her a call with
your ideas.

A Textbook Case...

In appreciation for her being the first to
submit fall Textbook Adoption Forms, the
Bookstore awarded Psych Nursing
Instructor Norma Vallentgoed a copy of
Chicken Soup for the Soul. Bookstore
Supervisor Margo Lott sends heartfelt
thanks to all instructors who got their
Forms in early.

June Jubilant...

The winner of May’s 60/40 draw was
June Anderson, who picked up $801.60
while student aid increased by $534.40.
June promises that she’ll spend every cent
of her winnings in the Bookstore.

Score 4-0...

CET’s Christine Doyle recently
celebrated her 40th birthday with a
rousing game of basketball organized with
friends. Official referee for the event was
Auxilliary Writer Jeff McDonald,
complete with special whistle loaned by
Athletics and Intramurals’ Richard
Williams. Christine enjoyed the post-
game cake, but admits that “Forty candles
throw a Jot of light.”

Clomas Increase...

Supervisor, Production and Network
Services Phil Cloma and wife Beth are
celebrating the May 11 birth of baby
Mateo. Congratulations to all! |
