he Douglas College
Foundation is asking employees
to help students hit the books.
The Foundation has organized a Buy-
A-Book Campaign in which College
employees can fund the purchase of books
through tax-deductible donations. Since
the average cost of obtaining a new book
is approximately $52, a payroll deduction
of $1 per week for a year is suggested
(deductions would begin in January); one-
time donations are also welcome. The
target for donations is $7,500.
Similar campaigns have already
proven successful in other B.C. post-
secondary institutions.

“We want people to be aware that as
student numbers increase there is not
always enough government funding to
keep pace. This offers a direct way for
employees to support students,” says
Mona Grace of the Foundation.

Grace adds that donors can suggest
subject fields they wish to support or they
can specify the purchase of multi-media
items such as educational CD-Roms.
Donors will be acknowledged through
inclusion in the Foundation Annual
Report and on a College plaque. For more
information about the Douglas College
Buy-A-Book Campaign contact the
Foundation office at 527-5360. I
