CORRECTION ileal

Typographical gremlins visited the office of the Mad Hatter
last week and succeeded in embarrassing the editor. Instead of
reading "This policy (Statement and Procedure on Cheating) was
Meant to supercede the College's statement on plagiarism." It
should have read "It was NOT meant to supercede..." In fact,
according to Ken Battersby, the new policy was passed to compliment
the College's statement on plagiarism.

Wet your whistle and christen the new college this Friday,

' YOU'RE INVITED

What do you do with a Junior High School that closes its doors
because of falling enrollment? Put it to use where there is a grow-
ing demand for it - make it a community college campus.

Douglas College is constantly responding to the educational
needs of the community it serves through program offerings and
other services. However, without proper facilities in the right
location, the task of providing those services becomes difficult.

That's why Douglas College was more than happy to move its
Coquitlam Campus to the former Winslow Junior Secondary in Coquitlam
from its isolated Riverview site.

In early 1979, the Coquitlam School Board decided to close
down Winslow Junior Secondary because of declining enrollment in the
area. On Saturday, October 18 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, Douglas College
will hold an open house at its new Coquitlam Campus to show the
public what it has done to the defunct Junior Secondary.

The Coquitlam Campus will be officially opened on Thursday,
October 16 by Coquitlam Mayor Jim Tonn.

"The community wasn't prepared to use the Essondale (Riverview)
facilities as a community college and despite offering good programs,
we weren't getting the response we felt we should be," said Coquitlam
Principal Ann Kitching.

"Now we are in a much better facility," she added.

One of the more difficult jobs facing the Coquitlam Principal
was changing what was considered a "children's school" into an Adult
Education Institution.

Renovations were undertaken, painting, carpeting and carpentry
work were completed over the summer.

"We've tried to create an environment where students can learn
and teachers can teach...we wanted a warm and friendly place to offer
Coquitlam residents," Kitching said.

The principal stressed the importance of a friendly environment
because a great deal of community college students who enter college
have difficulties adjusting to other types of post secondary institutions.

Douglas College offers a wide variety of educational programs at
its Coquitlam Campus - Adult Basic Education and Community Education
courses, University Transfer, Career and Vocational programs.
