INSIDE DOUGLAS COLLEGE / August 6, 1991

 

 

FO "

THE INSIDE ZONE

by Carrillon

ong time faculty member,

Penny Priddy, is expecting... an
election call anytime now. For
those of you who don’t know, Prid-
dy is a New Democrat candidate
in Surrey —- up against none
other than R-I-T-A Rita J is here to
stay.

So in a non-partisan way, from
one colleague to another...best
wishes. I guess you could say
Penny has a “priddy” good chance
of being a giant killer.

And while we’re on the subject
of politics, IMS manager Rob
Linschoten was rear ended while
on holidays. It was an Ontario
driver, Hmmmmm! Could this be
another NDP Ontario plot?

IMS‘s Glen James is on a part
time leave for six months.

Congratulations go out to
Library employee Susan Fleming
who completed her bachelors de-
gree this spring at Simon Fraser
University. Susan majored in geog-
raphy and minored in psychology.
The college publicist Brad Barber
also finished his Bachelor of Arts
in communications at Simon
Fraser University this spring.

College bursar Peter Green-
wood is heading south to
Louisiana and won't be back until
August 23. Terry Leonard will be
filling his shoes.

Business instructor Murray Les-
lie has left for Portugal, while
Technical Services’ Susan Schmidt
has just returned from a fabulous
overseas visit to Denmark.

In the guess who is having a
baby department? Publicist assis-
tant Jane Muskens, Technical
Services Charlotte Currie and
former Library employee Jan
Meyers. Congratulations! What
was that? Sounded like an echo
boom to me.

Best wishes go out to Jacqueline
Ticknor, Library orientation assis-
tant who had a beautiful baby girl,
Lena.

CHANGES

Diana Christie is a new
academic advisor. Colleen Car-
michael, formerly from the
Vancouver School Board, is a new
full time employee in Technical
Services, along with Catherine
Doll who has been given a per-
manent half time position.

PIO writer Jeff McDonald has
gone on long term disability (get
better soon) and is being replaced
by ex-Province sports reporter and
sometime movie critic Walter
Melnyk.

Birthday wishes go out to
Wendy Waidson who is celebrat-
ing the big four O.

BOARD WATCHING.

It’s not that other college boards
in this province are bad, it is just
that Douglas College has had the
extraordinary luck of having some
of the finest board members in the
province serve on it. That’s why it
is sad to see board member
Richard Bell resign due to profes-
sional and personal commitments.
He has been a significant asset to
the college in New Westminster as

EWe
FLAGH

well as a leader in getting Douglas
College into Coquitlam. His
energy, fairness and common
sense will be missed by the college
community.

Another person we will all miss
is Beth Morris. She will be retiring
on August 16th. She will be travell-
ing the world, once she can decide
between Thailand or Turkey. Best
wishes!

THE HEAT ISON

Terry Leonard informs me that
the concourse will get two new ad-
ditions in the next few weeks. Just
in time for the registration rush
will be the addition of fans and
then just in time for Christmas we
can expect the addition of heaters.

Does anyone know where the
Japanese Bonzai Moles went? Last
I heard they had escaped and were
hanging out down in the Stage-
craft Shop under the newly
installed Jacuzzi.
