Overhead Projectors

Maintenance program:

 

Once per week, each overhead projector is
cleaned and checked by Library staff. There
should be no need for faculty to clean the
lens or the projection "stage".

However, if it is necessary the surface of
the "stage" can be wiped with water and a
soft cloth (no soap or windex). Dry it
carefully with another cloth.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN THE UNDERSIDE OF
THE "STAGE". This surface is extremely

susceptible to abrasian and recently two
projectors have been irreparably damaged
due to harsh cleaning.

| am hopeful that the maintenance program
(newly established) will preclude any need
for faculty to clean any part of the
projector.

Thanks for your co-operation.

Sartre and de Beauvoir

The lives of two of the most controversial
people in modern history will be looked at
during a special lecture and film presen-
tation on Jean Paul Sartre and Simone de
Beauvoir at Douglas College.

 

Presented on Thursday, March 28, an after-
noon session from 1230 to 1400 hours will
feature a panel discussion on the politics,
philosophies and literary outputs of Sartre
and de Beauvoir.

de Beauvoir Over looked

While Sartre is well known for his many
writings and viewpoints, de Beauvoir, his
life long intellectual companion, has often
been overlooked. As the author of "The
Second Sex" and "The Coming of Age", de
Beauvoir made many contributions to modern
philosophy in her own right.

The Douglas College instructors sitting on
This pane! discussion are Ralph Stanton of
the Library, Dr. Jim Davies of the Philo-
sophy department and Marie-Claire Chinniah
of Modern Languages.

How was de Beauvoir's Philosophy Developed?

Following up the discussion will be a film
at 2000 hours that evening in French with
English subtitles, describing in depth the
life of Simone de Beauvoir.

"Simone de Beauvoir", the film, was shown
at the 1982 American Film Festival and is
an excellent starting point for any person
interested in discovering how this great
thinker's philosophy was developed.

Sartre and de Beauvoir, the discussion,

 

will take place in room #2203.
