THE QUESTION
OF QUORUM

At the College Education Committee
meeting held November 12, 1986, the
question of quorum was discussed. As
background information, there was not
a quorum at the June 1986 meeting
and therefore no decisions could be
reached or advice given, on items of
major importance to the educational
community. In this particular instance,
there was a delay of some three
months before issues could be dealt
with. As a consequence, the staff offi-
cer to the College Education
Committee presented a number of
approaches to deal with the issue. The
Committee, at its November [2th
meeting, passed the following motion:

THAT members be _ instructed to
appoint an alternate member from
within the same constituency, in the
event they are unable to attend a
regularly scheduled meeting. Respon-
sibility for briefing the alternate
member on the matters under discus-
sion and charging that member with
any particular stance be the respon-
sibility of the incumbent member of the
College Education Committee.

MUSSALLEM
ON BOARD

George Mussallem is helping to make
Douglas College a more vibrant part of
the Maple Ridge community with his
involvement in the Douglas College
Foundation.

Mussallem, former Dewdney M.L.A.,
says helping Douglas College achieve
its goal is his first concern.

“Douglas College can bring a lot of
good to our community,” Mussallem
said. “It's only fair that | give something
in return.”

As a Foundation Board member since

its inception and a member of its
predecessor, the Douglas College
Student Trust Fund, Mussallem will
help bring in new money for college
and community programs and
projects.

The Douglas College Foundation was
created to promote cultural, athletic,
social and educational projects.
Already, $310,000 has been raised for
student financial aid.

There is good company on the Found-
ation Board for Mussallem, a Freeman
of the Municipality of Maple Ridge and
the District of Mission. Another Maple
Ridge representative is former School
Board chairman and retired veterina-
rian Dr. D.J. Hopkins, a current
Douglas College Board member.

The Douglas College Foundation is
made up of representatives from local
business, community organizations,
- Douglas College and its students.

 

 

 

Other members include Bill Day,
Patricia Disher, Bill Emerton, Muni
Evers, Ray Godin, Chris Johnson,
Peter Legge, Bill Morfey, Peter Webs-
ter and Chris Lirette.

Donations in money or in kind are
gladly accepted at any time from the
Douglas College Foundation by calling
the Foundation Office at local 4801.

SOUTH AFRICA AND
ISRAEL

The extent to which South Africa and
Israel are connected is likely to
surprise even the most diligent reader
of our daily press says Mordecai
Briemberg, a B.C. sociologist and
specialist in Israeli current events. Ina
special, November 27, noon-hour lec-
ture sponsored by the Douglas College

‘Humanities Institue, Briemberg will

focus attention on the nuclear alliance
and social parallels that exist between
these two nations.

According to Briemberg there is evid-
ence that Israel has been selling
weapons to South Africa and the two
nations were jointly testing nuclear
weapons.

Briemberg will also discuss the social
parallels he sees between South
Africa’s apartheid and the Palestinian
situation in Israel says Briemberg.
“There is a lot of similarity between a
social structure that produces the
Bantustans (ghettos) and one that
produces the Palestinian refugee
camps in and around the Gaza.”
