for 10 years, and carries with him the warmest wishes of all College
personnel.

On March 9th, the Official Opening of the Douglas College Theatre was
held. Much credit is due to College administration, staff, faculty
and students, for a very impressive and joyous opening ceremony and
evening. Recognition should also be given to Mrs. Shirley Piper of
New Westminster, who did a great deal of the organizing work for the
opening.

On the following day, the Official Opening of the Douglas College
Day Care Centre occurred, with Mr. Gerry Trerise, Chairman of the
College Board officiating.

On the same day, the College Open House occurred. The displays were
interesting and attractive. Much credit is due to the faculty and
staff who worked so hard on creating an interesting and exciting
educational atmosphere for the day.

The administrative work and educational preparations for the transfer
of the Psychiatric Nursing program from B.C. Institute of Technology
to Douglas College is now well under way. Now that the final
decisions have been made, and policies enunciated by the Ministry of
Education, it is possible to work with clarity and speed. A meeting
is being held next week at Douglas College of the Douglas College
faculty and the Psychiatric Nursing faculty of B.C.I.T. for orien-
tation, and we expect the identification of the first group of
transferring faculty to take place shortly after.

One grievance is currently in progress, initiated by the Douglas/
Kwantlen Faculty Association.

Negotiations are at a standstill at the moment, with the Douglas
Kwantlen Faculty Association. I expect that discussions will
resume in the near future.

The Selection Committee for the Dean of Applied Programs has virtually
completed its work. I expect to be in a position to announce the new
Dean within a few days. Following that announcement, appropriate
activities will occur in order to introduce the new Dean to the College
Board and the College community generally.
