INSIDE DOUGLAS COLLEGE / January 21, 1992

THEINGSIDE ZONE

by Carillon

Pe the weather is warmer
and wetter than usual and the
Vancouver Canucks have yet to take
their usual post-December nosedive,
the calendar says it’s January, so it
must be. Now that another Registra-
tion Week is behind us, here’s an
update on what some of the locals
have been up to.

Walk, don’t run...

Not content with a recent splashy
spread in the Vancouver Province
about youth recreation, CHRIS
JOHNSON has started an informal
program of noon-hour fitness walking
sessions. Everyone is invited for the
brisk 30- to 40-minute jaunts "when you
can walk with other employees and talk
out the world’s problems." Wear com-
fortable walking or running shoes and
workout clothes, and meet at noon out-
side the weight room (Rm 1323).

 

New kids on the block...

News flash! Congratulations to
JANE MUSKENS of the Public Infor-
mation Office. Jane and John brought
a baby boy, Connor, into the world
on Jan.17. Congrats also to Biology
Instructor NINA MUNTEANU, who
gave birth to a baby boy, Kevin
Daniel, on Dec. 13.

Hats off to Tatsuo...
Douglas College Choral Society

director TATSUO HOSHINA earned
praise for his role as substitute con-
ductor with the Handel Society of
Music during its holiday perfor-
mance of Handel’s Messiah in White
Rock. Hoshina, who had just led the
Choral Society’s own production of
the Messiah, replaced Handel
Society conductor Karel Ten Hoope,
who had fallen ill. With time for
only a single rehearsal with the

 

Royals basketball teams
didn’t rest much over
Christmas. The men’s

squad journeyed to
Florida for a series of
four games against
American colleges and a
team from Sweden. This
is a shot of action
against Edison College,
with Royals freshman
point guard Tony

Pomonis going up for a

jump shot. Royals went
one and three against

extremely tough
competition; their
opponents were mainly
future NCAA Division
One players. Despite
the tough losses, the trip
paid off, as the Royals
returned home to sweep
Fraser Valley and
Cariboo College in the
first two games of the
New Year. Their league
record as of Jan. 13
stood at three wins, no

+ losses.

 

 

 

 

 

group, the Peace Arch News
reported: "Hoshina directed an as-
sured and virtually seamless
performance."
