MAD HATTER

1989-1990
20th Year Celebration

 

Douglas College is approaching its 20th Anniver-
sary. November 19, 1970 was our official opening
day.

Some time ago we held an initial session on how
we can celebrate this important milestone in the
College’s history. That session was very successful
and I list below a small sample of the ideas
generated at that time:

- 20 Year Photo Archives of the College
Open House

- Alumni Dance for Graduates

- Reunion of Faculty, Staff and Students

- Program Based Reunions

- Revue of the College in Song and Stage

- History of Douglas College - Collection of
Memoirs

- Theme - "Accent on Community, Twenty Years of
Community Service"

- Gala Dinner

- "Come As You Were" Dance

- Mad Hatter Flashbacks

- Appreciation Night for Founding Faculty
Sponsored by the Board

- "Bulletin Board of the Past" to change weekly

To get the planning for the celebrations back in
gear after the summer break I would like to hold
another brainstorming session THURSDAY, OC-
TOBER 13, 1988 IN THE ROYAL AVENUE SITE
BOARDROOM FROM 12:00 - 2:00 P.M. Coffee will
be provided. Bring your lunch and your ideas!!

A REMINDER FROM THE
LIBRARY

The Library will be closed on the following days:

Saturday, October 8
and
Monday, October 10.

 

 

 

 

 

ALL COLLEGE PERSONNEL

As you are aware, Peter Greenwood has been ap-
pointed to the position of College Bursar, effective
immediately.

 

 

 

 

A search for a new Comptroller will begin shortly.
Until that position is filled, however, I have made a
number of assignments to help Peter during the tran-
sition period:

a) Maple Ridge, including all financial aspects, is
assigned to Jim Doerr.

b) Coquitlam activities, including all financial
aspects, are assigned to John McKendry.

I will be away from the College from Monday, Sep-
tember 26 to Tuesday, October 18th. During this
period, Jim Doerr will "back stop" Peter on any and
all projects related to the Bursar’s position. Ad hoc
assignments may be made to the managers in the
Business Operations Divisions by direct delegation.

I would like to thank all of those involved for their
cooperation.

NOISE IN THE LIBRARY

A survey of former Douglas College students, un-
dertaken by the Registrar’s Office, indicated that
one of their major complaints concerned noise in the
Library. Students were unable to find a quiet place
to study in al already overcrowded environment.

 

 

 

Therefore, the Library is asking your help in
publicizing new regulations.

Please announce to your students that the Library
is a quiet study space only, and talking, even quietly,
will not be tolerated.

We in the Library hope that by starting off the
term with a strong campaign, we will be able to stop
the noise before it begins. Your help will be much
appreciated.
