Good news for Maple Ridge

Douglas College and School District #42 are now werking
out the details of a plan which will see students have access
to more post-secondary education in Maple Ridge.

The douglas College Board of Governors met recently to
affirm that the College begin sharing facilities with the
School District in September, 1987.

Currently Douglas College offers classes in a small,
four-room campus on 224th Street.

The announcement was made by College Board chairman
Gerry Trerise, a Maple Ridge resident, and Betty Levens,
board chair of the Maple Ridge School District.

trerise gave special credit for the facility sharing proposal
to shool trustee Helen Casher, a former chairman of the
Douglas College Board. He also said the agreement could
become a ‘‘model for other colleges and school districts
around the province.”’

Singing Saint Paul

_ A rarely performed work by Felix Mendelssohn, the
oratorio Saint Paul, will be presented by Douglas College in
two performances April 19 and 20.

Tatsuo Hoshina, director of the Douglas College Choral
Society and Orchestra, says this will be the first complete
performance of Saint Paul in the Lower Mainland. ‘‘It’s
been performed so seldom we had trouble finding
recordings of the work,’’ Hoshina says.

The oratorio is a synthesis of the syles of J.S. Bach and
G.F. Handel,according to Hoshina, and it is set to a text
derived almost exclusively from the Bible.

The two-part oratorio deals with the life of Saul of Tarsus,
who after his conversion to Christianity, becomes St. Paul.

Saint Paul will be of considerable interest to lovers of
sacred music, and can be viewed as an extension of the
celebration of Easter.

Tickets are $8 regular and $6 for students and seniors.
Call 520-5488 for ticket reservations.

Discovering Japan

Students are being offered an opportunity to study
Japanese language and culture during a five-week College-
sponsored tour. But before you cancel your summer job,
you should take into account the nearly $3,000 cost.

Tad Hosoi, a Japanese language instructor at Douglas
‘and the Department of Asian Studies at U.B.C.* will host
the tour, july 10 - August 14. It is the fifth annual Culture
Study Tour sponsored by the College.

‘The Language and culture of Japan are becoming much
more relevant for Canadians, particularly British Colum-
bians,’’ says Hosoi.

The tour program offers many interesting and valuable
features such as residence with a Japanese family, in-city
field trips, Language and culture workshops, and lectures.
Tour Participants will attend intensive courses at the Kobe
YMCA College, with two to three hours of language
instruction per day, over a three week period.

Coordinator in the Community Programs and Services
division, or call 520-5473.
