a eS ie THE FIRST EVER GRAND ANNUAL PARKING SPACE RAFFLE You really shouldn't need a carrot to give to the United Way. But if its a carrot you want, a carrot they've got. And what a carrot it is! You're late; you drive into the parking lot; the parking lot is packed; will you find a parking space in time? A parking space, a parking space - Oh, what wouldn't you give for your own reserved parking space? Douglas College has always been ridiculously egalitarian when it comes to parking spaces. No one - no student, no faculty member, not even Bill Day has his own reserved parking space. You would have to be pretty special to rate that unheard of honour. You would have to be no less than the winner of the United Way's FIRST EVER GRAND ANNUAL PARKING SPACE RAFFLE. Yes it's true! For a $2 gambit, | mean donation, you could be the winner of the only reserved parking space on campus complete with a United Way plaque explaining what you've done to deserve it. United Way is a charitable organiza- tion with a mandate to “promote the organized capacity of people to care for one another”. Through the efforts of over 4000 volunteers, well over $10 Million will be raised to help support over 80 agencies including the Red Cross. One in three, or over 500,000 people in the lower mainland will rec- ive services through the United Way. So from November 3 to 7 keep your eyes open for one or more of the 2000 FIRST EVER GRAND ANNUAL PARKING SPACE RAFFLE tickets being dangled under your nose. Tickets will be sold in the Student Society Office, just off the concourse. Parking space or not, everybody wins. PUBLIC EDUCATION FOR WORLD CITIZENSHIP To shy away from the issues that are currently troubling the world is an ex- ample of educational negligence. So says Stephen Lewis, Canada's ambassador to the U.N. In a one hour speech filmed last fall at the University of Toronto, Lewis attacks Canadian education for failing to prepare students for the world we live in. A world which he says “is hang- ing on the brink of the apocalypse’. The meaning of nuclear winter, nuclear freeze, bans on chemical weapons, and Canada's participation in “star wars", NATO and NORAD should be studied in detail in our public schools. “If the school system can't deal with these issues, where can they be dealt with?” Lewis asks. Human rights issues must also become part of the public school curri- culum, he goes on to say. Commenting on student involvement in the recent Ethiopian crisis, Lewis says it must not end with the raising of aid, but should evolve into a study of the causes, both physical and political, which gave rise the problem. It is important to “illumine rather than just satisfying a humanita- rian instinct.” The apartheid question along with the mechanics of sanctions against South Africa also deserves more than “to run it in headlines or rock concerts,” says Lewis. “What frees people can make for some remarkable courses of study.” A video of the speech entitled Stephen Lewis: Public Education for World Citizenship will be shown at 1215 hours, Thursday, October 30th in Room 2203. NEW ZEALAND MYSTERY Exactly what they'll be doing we don't know, but it promises to be good. Here to participate in the Pacific Wave International Youth Festival, the New Zealand Youth Orchestra will be mak- ing a special stop at Douglas College. The orchestra is comprised of some of the best of New Zealand's young jazzers with a repertoire that ranges from classics to contemporary and in- cludes music of the Maori and Pacific Island cultures. The mystery “performance/workshop” will be held in the Douglas College Performance Theatre on Wednesday, October 29th at 1230 hours. And it's free. FRASER RIVER ART SHOW WINDS UP The Fraser River Show art exhibition, featuring more than 85 artists and 175 works celebrating the “Mighty Fraser”, is now in its final week and public response so far has been overwhelm- ingly positive. “Hundreds of people have viewed the show and the typical response has been ‘it’s about time something like this happened in New Westminster: ” says exhibition organizer Sandra Shaw. Professional and amateur artists from all over the lower mainland contributed to the exhibition, offering colourful and richly varied perspectives on the river theme in a wide range of styles and media. Many of the works are for sale. Community organizations, _ busi- nesses, and the public are urged to view the art and take advantage of this last chance to own “a piece of the Fraser.”
