Trerise said that one of the reasons
Douglas College is facing higher than
usual increases in cost could be traced
back to the split of the College into
two separate medium sized colleges last
year - Kwantlen and Douglas Colleges.

"Tt costs more to rum two medium sized
colleges than it does one large one,
the Ministry of Education must realize
this," Trerise said.

 

EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION SKILLS WORKSHOP

 

The Orientation Committee extends spe-
cial thanks to Everett Robinson for pre-
senting a very effective workshop on
March 19 and 25. Participant feedback
was positive with a common concern that
the program was too short. The Commit-
tee is reviewing the feedback and re-
commendations from participants in
terms of future seminars. The plans and
topics of these workshops will be an-
nounced shortly.

If you have any further comments, please
contact any of the Committee members:

NEW PURCHASE ORDER FORMAT

 

Undoubtedly most of you have seen the
new purchase order format. Contrary to
popular opinion, the use of these forms
is not a further attempt at structuring
a bureaucratic department. We hope that
by using the new forms we will be able to
offer better service both to the college
commmity and our suppliers.

The new purchase order is a five part
form. Currently the requisitioner re-
ceives two copies of the purchase order
- one to be retained for their records,
the second to be signed and forwarded to
the Purchasing Department when a shipment.
has been received on the order. DO NOT
WAIT FOR THE COMPLETE SHIPMENT. The sec-
ond new form is a Receiving Report. This
form is to be completed and forwarded to
the Purchasing Department on EACH SUE-
SEQUENT SHIPMENT ON EACH ORDER. ‘This pro-
cedure will do away with the necessity of
sending out invoices for signature thus
reducing paper flow and processing time.

Receiving Reports are’ available from your
Director or Chairman or from the Purchas-
ing Department. We ask that you "plug"
into the system April 1, 1982 or as soon
thereafter as is feasible.

Thank you for your co-operation. If you
have any questions please drop into the

Purchasing Department or give us a tele-
phone call. We will try to answer your

questions for you.
