This was the scene at Douglas College on October 14 as we travelled down the
long and winding road to rejection of the Charlottetown Accord. CKNW’s Bill
Good Show broadcast a debate involving (from left) Federal Justice Minister Kim
Campbell, B.C. Minister of Constitutional Affairs Moe Sihota, B.C. Liberal leader
Gordon Wilson, and Shelagh Day, Vice President of the National Action Commit-
tee on the Status of Women.

Remembering Monir

Her enthusiasm for learning made it a pleasure to be her teacher.

Now faculty and students at Douglas College have provided a learning legacy about her
homeland to commemorate Monir Ensanfar, a student from Iran who died last March 11
after being struck by a driverless bus in Vancouver.

Members of the College’s English as a Second Language Department collected almost
$1,500 for a memorial fund. The money has been used to purchase eight Iranian books
and four CD’s of that nation’s music, as well as a high-speed printer, all donated to the Col-
lege library in Ensanfar’s name.

"Monir was truly an exceptional student; bright, hard-working, and eager to learn,"
recalled Writing Instructor Mary Andress. "However, Monir was not only a star as a stu-
dent, she also shone as a warm, thoughtful and sensitive person. In her journal writing
and in conversation, she shared with us touching accounts of her family and life at home.

"Through her interest in other students and her willingness to help them, she touched the
lives of people from all over the world."

ESL Instructor Marilyn Brulhart, who helped organize the fund, said Ensanfar was com-
mitted to learning.

"It’s not often that a teacher has such a treat as Monir’s enthusiasm for each class, each ex-
ercise, each new technique. Her face would light up and she'd inevitably have a question
to ask, a comment to make, a laugh or a smile. She was really there, one hundred percent."

Brulhart said she is pleased that commitment to education will be remembered in the col-
lection donated to the library. The books range from contemporary novels to reference
books and an elegant illustrated edition of the Rubaiyat by Omar Khayam. All pieces
donated will be labelled with a memorial and the printer will feature a plaque. a
