College Assembly: A College Assembly is being planned for
Wednesday, November 23, 1988, 4:15-6:00 pm. Watch for further
details (location, agenda, etc.,) in the next edition of "Inside Douglas
College". If you have topics to suggest for the agenda, please give
them to Barbara Bessey by Friday, November 18th.

World AIDS Day: World AIDS Day, December 1, (sponsored by
the World Health Organization) will focus attention on the worldwide
effort against AIDS by encouraging governments and communities,
groups and individuals to talk about AIDS. The B.C. Task Force on
AIDS, Women and Children have asked Douglas College students
and faculty to offer some help on the B.C. scene in the following
ways:

Needed: one or two women to apply for a grant for a "safe house" for
HIV positive women who are drug users but need to keep off the
street. Students and faculty welcome - volunteer position could lead
to employment possibility.

Needed: Women who are willing to become involved in
support-trans-agency team work for helping women with AIDS or
whose spouse has AIDS.

Needed: All Social Service workers to assist in programs of
prevention, education and care for all ages, sexes, and life styles.
Contact: Cathleen Smith - local 2842, B.C. Task Force: AIDS,
Women and Children.
