$4600.00!! ARCHI

Douglas College has a right to be proud of
Ms. Georgia Combes, second year Douglas Col-
lege student, who is one of 23 Canadians
chosen to crew aboard the brigantine “Eye of
the Wind" on its two-year-long scientific
voyage around the world.

The purpose of the voyage, sponsored by
The Scientific Society of the U.K. and Out-
ward Bound, Canada, is to provide college
students from all over the world first-hand
experience in the field and "one the line"
in a variety of settings.

Ms. Combes' leg of the journey will be a
three month stretch from Panama to Fiji and
will include biological investigations in
the Galapagos Islands.

Total cost is $4600.00, including air
fare and while some scholarships are
available, the principle burden of the
cost rests with Ms. Combes. Anyone having
information regarding sources of funds
or who who wishes to make a contribution,
(tax deductible) please contact Larry
Mitchell in New Westminster (local 241)

Lets help her out!
