MAD HATTER 4

 

War against war...

With many distinct religious, idealogical and
social groups, each with differing visions of the
Lebanon they are fighting for, the young genera-
tion has grown up with a sharp sense of aliena-
tion."

"We would like our students to experience other
cultures and to understand the diversity of
mankind," said Fadl Chalak, the Foundation's
general manager. An engineer by profession, he
was asked by Hariri to establish the Foundation
and head its activities.

It is precisely this situation of alienation and
conflict which the Hariri Foundation is striving
to end. "Our mandate is to bridge the gap
between the warring factions and build a
generation which is committed to the reconstruc-
tion of Lebanon," said Chalak.

Canada has a lot to offer the Hariri Foundation
students. Canadian education offers a full range
of studies at college and university levels and
Canadian bilingualism, religious tolerance and
multiculturalism serve as an example of unity

in diversity.

 

WELCOME!
Douglas College has recently welcomed seven
students from Lebanon, part of a group of 290
students (66 in B.C.) sponsored by the Hariri
Foundation and organized through CBIE, The
Canadian bureau for International Education.
These students have been placed at universities
and colleges across Canada to enter a variety
of educational programs for varying lengths of
time. Our students will eventually be taking
two-year programs in the Business Department,
but will spend the Spring and Summer terms
taking a full college preparation ESL program.
Call us at 4200 if you'd like to meet them.

Once again, we'll be having our six week summer
program for students from Quebec (May-June)
and for a small group of Japanese visitors (late
July and August). We'll be looking for host

families so keep us in mind if you'd like a
summer yuest.

COLLEGE COPYRIGHT POLICY

To: All College Personnel
From: Bill Day

Attached for your information is the current
College statement regarding the use of copy-
righted material. When the new legislation
(expected to be table in Parliament very soon)
has been enacted, this statement will be
reviewed and revised, as necessary. Until that
time it is important that all personnel be familiar
with the College's current policy statement and
regulations.

I would like to highlight a few points from the
statement to clarify some matters that may
have been misinterpreted in the past.

1. It is the responsibility of personnel to acquire,
in writing, the permission to copy any work
protected under the act. It is not the
responsibility of staff in the Printing Dept.
The Printing Department will require you
to sign a statement that you have acquired
that permission.

2. Education use is not "fair dealing" as defined
by the Act. In other words, copying a work
to use in a classroom or in an educational
manual is an infringement.

3. Computer programs, whether in machine or
human readable form, are covered by the
Act.

4, It is not permissable to use video or other
programs taped off-air at home or rented
from a home rental outlet in an educational
setting. Classroom use has been defined as
a public performance and home video rental
outlets have the right to rent for public
performances.
