MAD HATTER 2

   

 

The Would-be Gentleman cont...

One might question why the translation had
erased so much of the flavour of the French
original - to the point where the French
courtiers were discussing finances in dollars
and cents rather than louis d'or - but as the
comedy moved from one uproarious scene to
another, ending with a grand finale of Turkish
emissaries, mufti and belly dancers, one
realized that any liberty taken with this script
would work.

Once again Dorothy Jones and her students
successfully mounted a difficult production.
Special mention should be made of the many
fine and colourful costumes and of the musical
interludes: composed by Molié@re's compatriot,
Jean-Baptiste Lully, and played by harpsichordist
Teena Wagner and flautist Audrey Stock.

 

British Justice

Most people think of field trips as a jaunt to an
aquarium, museum or other place of local
interest.

At Douglas College, however, a special course
in the Criminology department gives students
and interested people an opportunity to study
the differences and similarities of Canada's and
Britain's legal systems.

Comparative Justice Systems, offered this
semester, is a special 20 day working field trip
to points of professional interest in England
and Scotland.

Students will witness first hand how Canada's
court and legal system evolved from the British
and Scottish models in this unique university
transfer course.

"Students always indicate they learn better by
being right at a site," says Social Science
instructor Jack Ferguson. "Quite simply, when

people see things happen, the experience is more

valid than in a classroom situation."

 

 

The study tour will depart from Vancouver on
May 7. Students will spend two days at the
Greater Manchester Police Training School,
home of the second largest force in the country,
another ten days at the London PolyTechnic
Institute and a week at the University of Stirling
in Scotland.

Special short trips are also scheduled to prisons,
Scotland Yard, The Old Bailey and the British
Houses of Parliament.

The course is part of the Douglas College
Criminology diploma and university transfer
program, and includes three pre-trip lectures,
assignments, and a post-tour topic paper.

People taking the course for general interest
may audit the class requirements but they will
pay the same course fee of $1,574 for tuition,
transportation, lodging, and food.

The instructors accompanying the tour are
Kathleen Heggie, LLB (Barrister) and chair of
the Douglas College Social Sciences division, and
Criminology department faculty member

Dr. Gary Parkinson.

Prospective students are encouraged to contact
the department of Social Services at Douglas
College as soon as possible for registration in
this popular course at 520-5485.
