DOUGLAS COLLEG _ MAD HATTER PAGE 5
BOAT RACE A DRENCHING SUCCESS | ARCHIVES |
a

 

About 40 people turned out to the first annual Douglas/Kwantlen challenge
boat race at HMCS Discovery on Sunday, August 30. It was a terrific
afternoon, and no doubt will be the first of a long series.

Ken Moore acted as general organizer, ably backed up by Andrew MacAdam.

The Kwantlen crew coached by "Old Salt Moore", obviously had practised for
days in advance. That fact, plus a number of scurvy tricks too complex to
describe in this restricted space, led to their victory in the men's and
mixed races. The Douglas nurses (loyal and pure of heart) put on a heart-
warming display, and saw to it that Kwantlen didn't make a clean sweep of it.

NEXT YEAR, WE SINK KWANTLEN.

Warm thanks to those who conceived and organized the affair, and especially |
to those who threw Ken Moore and Bill Day into the drink at the end of it. :

 

BUDGET PRESENTATION TO COMBINED COUNCILS

Bill Day, Peter Greenwood, Bill Morfey, Helen Casher (Chairman of College Board),

and Bill Emerton (Vice-Chairman of College Board) presented the budget defense

for our 1982/83 budget to the combined meeting of academic, occupational, and
management advisory councils. The presentation was well received. There is no

doubt that next year will be a difficult financial year for all post-secondary

institutions, and the colleges have all been warned that they must be prepared

to establish four alternative levels of budget - one involving much reduced

purchasing power from this year, one assuming existing purchasing power, and

two others at different levels of increase of activity.

The Douglas College presentation emphasized the problem of annualization of
costs of the split of the old Douglas College into the new Douglas and Kwantlen
Colleges, and the effect of opening the New Westminster Permanent Campus.

 

EXPENDITURE PLANS NOW COMPLETE

Peter Greenwood, Comptroller, has provided each division with its detailed
expenditure plan as evolved over the summer.

Because of the college split, and the development of three budgets simultaneously
in May, June, and July, there is much informationto be disseminated to faculty
and staff, many of whom have been away on holidays. As many staff and faculty
were involved in budget preparation and decisions as possible. However, most

of the work was done by administrative personnel, of necessity.

Chairman, Directors, and Deans will be providing full information to all =
divisional personnel over the next month. Please feel free to request specific
information in advance of any meetings that are held.
