MS.ED'S NOTES:

Just to clarify a few items which
have gone in previous Mad Hatters
regarding submissions:

Deadline: the Thursday morning
before Monday publication.

Unless it is something earth-
shattering, nothing longer than
one 8 x ll-inch page to be carried.

No lengthy reprints from other
publications.

No photocopied brochures or
flyers.

All reports, notices, and letters
to carry the name of the originator.

All submissions to be typed,
single spaced, on one half of a white
sheet of paper such as this is.

Honestly, I simply haven't the
ability or the time to retype -

i mean it took me two hours to
type this without many errors!

Also, pls remember that the
Mad Hatter is an employees' newsletter,
and students don't receive it, so
notices to students are not effective
in this publication unless just once
so that instructors can tell their
classes -- and that should really be
noted on it.

It would really be appreciated,
and i think the Hatter would look
better and be more readable if we all
spent a few more minutes to summarize
the contents of long notices (partic-
ularly from outside the college)
before sending them in to the Hatter,
and if everyone tried to observe most
of these guidelines.... ,

keep the submissions coming anyway:

INTER OFFICE MEMO

FROM V. MacBean & A. Huebener
Social Sciences

Memos DATE

ge Feb 20,1476

In recognition of our perception that
there are many potentially creative persons
at Douglas College who, but for the fact of
being seduced into an overwhelming number of
non-essential work hours per week, would
have otherwise spent their time creatively
in personally or socially beneficent
pursuits, the authors of this immodest
memorandum make the following proposal:
That, through collectively de-corticated
bargaining, the college institute an annual
"Ponn Daughter Award of Outstanding
Achtevement of Literary Memorandum
Compilation (P.D.A.0O.F.A.L.M.C.)."

A committee of the floundering founding
members will survey non-confidential memoranda
of the current academic year with the aim of
achieving a decision for the inaugural
bestowal to occur during Professional
Development Days in May. The winner's name
will be painted in psychedelic colouring on a
100-watt electric light bulb, the bulb having
been attached to the top of a mortarboard
constructed of Douglas tartan.

To capture the quintescence of the
procedure, the honoured recipient will be
expected to interpret ‘the symbolism most
succinctly, and further to make a speech at
the moment of this breath-taking experience.
A memorandum highlighting the important
features of the speech will be circulated to
all Douglas College employees. This latter
condition is imposed as a guarantee to the
other competitors that the bestowee is indeed
worthy. This award, therefore, is a misguided
attempt to foster more creative, fantasial
expository writing in this geometrically
expanding, regenerative medium- the memo.

Un-yours,
Alrick Huebener &
