Ice hockey is into its second week at
Queens Park Arena and a big "thanks" to Len
Millis for getting up early every Wednesday
morning and heading to the Arena. Actually
most of us owe Len more than we think - he
has abley demonstrated to our young ath-
letes that he can still beat them to the
puck, thereby, pointing out that because
one is older, one is not necessarily slower.
Thanks Len!

Tennis lessons have begun and take place
Mondays and Thursdays in the gym for the
first two sessions. The cost is $10 for
Six One hour lessons and if you are inter-
ested, individually or as a group (not more
than six), contact Betty Lou Hayes, local
5338. Third and fourth sessions will start
about November 1.

The soccer team, coached by Chris Bowcott,
travelled to the Interior last weekend win-
ning one game against Okanagan and losing
one against Kamloops. Chris is still work-
ing the "kinks" out of his team but they
definitely are competitive with the rest of
the league. Next home game is October 15
at Sapperton Park when Douglas meets Royal
Roads. Game time is 1300 hours.

Slow Stretch with jazz overtones is the most
recent type of fitness class offered to stu-
dents, staff and faculty on Tuesdays and
Thursdays at 1640 hours. This type of class
is less intensive than the noon hour aerob-
ics and ideal for the person just getting
back into fitness routines.

Athletics is still in need of:

1. A men's volleyball coach - Totem Confer-
ence play.

2. A gymnastics instructor - recreational
and leisure activity.

Give Betty Lou Hayes a call at local 5338 if
interested or if you know of someone who is.

Finally I would like to acknowledge a dona-
tion of thirty T-shirts for Intramural pur-
poses, from our College Bookstore. These
T-shirts will be used in our noon-hour act-
ivities starting with indoor soccer.

Librarian, at local 2119.

erence books, periodical indexes, catalogue
subject headings, and audio-visual re-
sources which relate to the specific course
subject.

In addition, any student or college employ-
ee may receive a general library tour by
turning up at the library information desk
any week day at 1300 hours. Tours take
approximately 30 minutes to one hour.

WHY SHOULD I GIVE?

Once again we have received an appeal for
funds from the United Way. The question
arises: "Should I give?"

The reasons for giving or not giving will
vary from person to person. The most com-
pelling reason probably rises out of a
feeling of compassion for those less for-
tunate than ourselves.

I recall dropping a few rupees into the

tin cups beside the beggars when I first
walked the streets of Colombo, Sri Lanka.
However, after seeing dozens of beggars
over the ensuing months, my compassion wore
thin. Perhaps I should give out of grati-
tude for being well-fed and well-housed.
But to whom should I be grateful?

Surely the recipients of my gifts to the
United Way have had nothing to do with my
present well-being. Since I have recog-
nized that much of what I believe and do is
the result of the conditioning received
from my parents and has no greater value
outside of this fact, need I follow their
examples of generosity?

Human values are constantly being re-evalu-
