INGiWE DOUGLAS COLLEGE / MARCH 5, 1991

 

Challenge ’91 /
B.C. Summer
Employment
Program

L 3 summer, a total of 10
projects were funded and 16
students were hired under the
summer employment programs at
Douglas College. The projects
were very successful, and
provided an opportunity for
career-related employment to stu-
dents. We are hopeful this pro-
gram will continue in 1991, with
similar guidelines. The deadline
for applications will be Friday, the
15th of March, 1991.

Interested faculty or staff are
encouraged to plan possible
projects now. An announcement
will be made in Inside Douglas Col-
lege as soon as any additional infor-
mation or applications are
available.

Contact persons for the above
programs are:

Patty Lewis (local 5105, and
Florence Korstrom (local 5101).

Trite Court (continued from page 3)

— barring merciful intervention by a major earthquake — the bird
always, always, always comes back. Always. Lobs float back over your

 

head, driving you to the baseline; drop shots flutter back and die at your
feet; slams fly back with the speed, accuracy and devastation of a Patriot
missile. | also discovered the very limited joys of running side-to-side in
a badminton court with as much success as a Canucks coach in January.

So went our rallies, the 5-foot-2, 118-pound champ returning shot
after shot against the 6-foot-4, 220-pound condemned man. At least
Plimpton had Wayne Cashman or Alex Karras on his side.

in our first game, I dropped my serve and then stretched Deng to 10
minutes before losing a 15-0 nailbiter. In the second, my backhand im-
proved (or, at least emerged) and I enjoyed a moment of triumph when
the champ actually floated a shot out of bounds to lose serve. The final
score eludes me, but I was shaking hands with the gracious champ after
another 10 minutes.

“That looked like fun,” beamed the athletic director. “Maybe you
could play one-on-one with one of our women basketball players too.
‘There is a good chance they will go to the provincials.”

Suddenly, I found myself mulling the advantages of moving to a nice
litle college with milquetoast athletics. @

Did You Know...?

eee That Douglas College’s firgt
principal, George Wootton, is often
remembered for his bare feet. Woot-
ton earned his reputation as the
“sole” of Douglas College when he
first slipped his shoes off during his
job interview with the College in
1969. 1
“Tjust don’t like shoes,” Woot-'
ton explains. “I’d take more off if I!
could get away with it. I took my
shoes off at the first Board meet-
ing, and by the end of the night,
four other people had taken their
shoes off, too.” @ s \
