INSIDE DOUGLAS COLLEGE / December 10, 1991

 

 

THAEINSIB@e. ZONE

Before you rush off to re-runs of
White Christmas, gift-exchange
lineups and hopefully some time for
family and friends, here’s some
gossip to close out the year...

Lights, camera...

Don’t be surprised if something
looks familiar in the upcoming
Paramount production of Jennifer
Eight. The Eureka, California police
station is actually the theatre-level
entrance to Douglas College. Film
star Andy Garcia was on campus
on Nov. 16 for production. The
Douglas College Foundation will get
a new financial award thanks to a
rental fee of $2,000 paid by
Paramount Pictures, matching-fund
money of $2,000 from the B.C.
government and $1,000 from
Douglas College. The $5,000 total
will provide an annual $500 bursary
for a performing arts student and
will be named the Paramount
Studios Performing Arts Award.

Another Caribbean cruise?

After relishing her Caribbean
Cruise last fall, Karen Maynes says
she is leaning towards a similar trip
using the $250 certificate from P.
Lawson Travel she won at the
Christmas staff party. Debbie Mc-
Fadyen of the Foundation office
won a set of garden lamps. Bill Day
took home a wall hanging donated

 

 

 

 

 

Cheque this out! Librarian Jean Cockburn won $199.20 in the
Douglas College Foundation’s October 60/40 draw. The draw is held
monthly. If you would like to enter, call Alana Frymire at local 5322.

 

by Tad Hosoi...The party was held
on Nov. 30 and attracted 65
people, with Peter Greenwood
being named as winner of the First
To Leave award.

Of moose and men...

What do you give the College
President who has everything, and
whose favourite colour happens to
be grape-ish? A plush purple moose.

Bill Day received the critter when

greeted by staff and colleagues on
Dec. 2 after returning from a
seven-month educational leave.
Welcome back, Bill. (See story on

Nice trip if you can get it...

Evelyn Terada of CP& S will be
enjoying an exotic Christmas
holiday while most of us endure a
wet West Coast winter. Evelyn
starts off by touring Disney World
and visiting friends near Orlando,
Florida, and then veers down to
Costa Rica to “check out retire-
ment property” before heading for

 

 

It's our new image, Nick.

Guatemala to see some Mayan
ruins.

Congratulations...

Margo Lott from the Bookstore
has successfully completed the Na-
tional Association of College Stores
Textbooks Seminar.

In the Get Well Soon department...

Many people around the College
are wondering where Public Informa-
tion Officer Bill Bell is these days.
Unfortunately, he’s under the
weather, and has gone on long-term
disability leave. He hopes to return
in January, and we hope so too.

An early Christmas present...
Congratulations to Charlotte
Currie of Learning Resources, who
recently gave birth to a son, Mat-
thew. The latest member of Clan

Currie tipped the scales at nine
pounds.

See you in 1992!
