PHILIPPINES:
NO CHOICE
BUT CHANGE

Violence and uncertainty have
become commonplace in the Philip-
pines. The tyranny of the Marcos
dictatorship has ended, but riots, kil-
ling and unrest mark the days of the
new Aquino government.

The March 19th Humanities Institute
presentation at Douglas College will
take a look at the problems facing Cory
Aquino and her country in the film,
Philippines: No Choice but Change.

With a behind-the-scenes look at the
country, the documentary shows how
millions of Filipinos were caught up in
the fight for freedom. Highlights of this
hour-long film include dramatic foot-
age of armed police attacking demon-
strators, sugar workers under the
blistering sun of Negros Island and
urban slum dwellers scavenging in
Manila.

Also featured are various interviews
with several political prisoners, and an
exclusive talk with a leader of the
revolutionary movement, the National
In addition the
Filipino view of the United States in-
volvement in their country and the
economic and military stakes that
America has in the Philippines will be
examined.

The film starts at 1215 hours in room
2203. Admission is free and open to
the public.

 

 

MEMO
TO ALL
COLLEGE
PERSONNEL

We have been advised by Mr. W.R.
(Bill) Emerton that due to a transfer to
the east, it becomes necessary for him
to resign as a member of the Douglas
College Board and as Chairman of the
Douglas College Foundation. Mr. Em-
erton joined the College Board in 1977
as a Government Appointee, and
served as Board Chairman in 1982
and 1983.

Mr. Emerton has always been interes-
ted in encouraging a strong commu-
nity relationship and was instrumental
in the creation of the Community
Relations Development Committee, of
which he has been Chairman for the
past two years.

Mr. Emerton has also had a strong in-
terest in student aid and cultural
development in the College and has
served as Chairman of the Douglas
College Foundation.

The College wishes Bill every success.
We will miss him and our loss will be
the east’s gain.

C.J. Murnane, Chairman,
Douglas College Board.
