LIBRARY BOOKS RECOVERED

 

 

Quick thinking by Library Staff at Nés
Westminster Campus enabled the police to
recover nearly 300 overdue library books
from the apartment of a New Westminster
man. 55 of these books belonged to Douglas
College. Library staff became suspicious
of a non-college borrower who appeared to
resemble a man previously known to have
used several names and addresses in borrow-
ing books from libraries in the lower
mainland. Without alarming him, they

cceeded in gaining sufficient time for
her library staff to obtain the man's
car licence number, from which police were
able to obtain his true address. A sub-
sequent visit by the policy resulted in
the discovery of several thousand dollars
worth of overdue and apparently stolen
books, from Douglas, Vancouver Community
College, UBC, SFU, Vancouver Public Library,
Burnaby Public Library, New Westminster
Public Library, and elsewhere. Charges are
now being considered.

EKAM WEEK POLICY

 

 

Dear Faculty Member:

I would like to draw your attention to
the final exam week policy which is as
follows.

A five day period is set aside at the end
of each semester for each course that has
a final examination.

This insures that the students do not have
conflicts because examinations may take
more than two hours of the time normally
allocated to each class. The exam schedule
is posted and the students have the oppor-
tunity to deal with time conflicts and
have the schedule changed.

Holding final examinations in the weeks
prior to the final exam week is detrimental
to the students because it creates conflicts
prior to exam week and students miss other
classes in order to study for or take the
"final exam"; therefore no test valued at
more than 10 percent may be given in the >
two weeks prior to exam week.

Yours sincerely,

R.H. Pridham
Dean, Educational Services
