MEDIA § MAN

SEMI AL E E_SE

 

Academedia is a joint UBC/SFU venture for the
application of audio visual media in post
secondary education.

Approximately seven conferences are envisioned
which will deal with the theme Media & Man
and their involvement within the educational
structure in British Columbia. The purpose
of this series will be to give educators an
opportunity to discuss common problems and
seek some solutions. Through sharing media
experiences with colleagues from other
departments and other B.C. institutions,
participants will gain a greater appreciation
of the present and future status of educa-
tional media opportunities.

The primary target audience for the series
will be educators at the post secondary

level who have had or wish to have greater
fluency with media. Persons involved in

the administration, production or utilization
of media materials will also find the con-
ference of interest.

 

The first conference of the series will be
held at the University of British Columbia
on May 8, and 9, 1979. The intention of
this conference is to provide a forum in
which to air and share media experiences,
programs and selections. The format will
be small group presentations and discussion
in areas of interest designated by the
participants.

Hopefully, the registration fee for this
first conference will be kept below $20.00.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS

 

The provincial Minister of Environment, the
Hon. Rafe Mair, will be attending a public
meeting in the Lower Mainland on March 22 to
receive briefs from organizations and submis-
sions from individual members of the public
on the work of his ministry.

This is a major opportunity for the public to
express views on the management of the envir-
onment, fish and wildlife.

After my short presentation at Faculty/Staff
Development last fall, several people expressed
concern at the predominance given to hunting

in the management and use of provincial Crown
Lands in the lower Fraser Valley, and at the
neglect of opportunities and access to such
lands for non-hunting recreation.

I would be grateful if all who share these
concerns would spare a few moments to write
them down in a letter to the Hon. Rafe Mair.
If you do not wish to present your letter
personally at the public meeting I will do so
on your behalf.

However, it would be much better if you do so
yourself.

The quality of our environment in the Lower
Mainland will ultimately depend in part upen
our readiness as citizens to state our prior-
ities to those vested with responsibility for
the management of our lands and waters and
the living creatures dependent upon them.
Please act.

me at Surrey Campus, portable A6.
