@ "| must be a born loser!"

"Work, the kids, the house - it's
just too much! “I can’t handle it
anymore!"

e "People always seem to take ad-
vantage of me."

e "I'm not going anywhere in my
career - I’ve lost interest in my job
and nothing seems worthwhile.
Some mornings its not worth get-
ting out of bed."

e"My partner and I just can't talk
to each other anymore - where's
this relationship going, anyway?"

These are typical thoughts ex-
pressed by people dissatisfied
with some aspect of their lives.
Some days it’s hard to come to
work without feeling preoc-
cupied with such concerns.
Depression, lethargy, low self-es-
teem, anxiety, frustration - such
feelings don’t have to be a "fact of
life."

At Interlock, skilled profes-
sionals are available to assist you
with your problems. In short-
term counselling you will begin
to learn more about yourself and
how to take control of your self-
defeating thoughts and feelings.
You can improve your skills in
stress management, assertiveness
and communication and develop
strategies to turn your problems
around. Services are entirely con-
fidential and available to you and
your family members at no
charge. To arrange an appoint-
ment, call Linda Korbin at the In-
terlock office - tel. 293-1871.

All College
Employees

I have been asked to act ona
four-person team that will be as-
sessing some possible education-
al aid projects in India and Sri
Lanka. The task is being carried
out through the Association of
Canadian Community Colleges
on behalf of the Canadian Interna-
tional Development Agency
(CIDA).

This will necessitate a brief ab-
sence from the College from Sep-
tember 27 to October 15. During
that period, John McKendry,
Dean of Applied Programs, will
be Acting President, and Jim
Doerr, Director of Community
Programs & Services, will be Ac-
ting Bursar.

Course Assignments and
Reading Lists

It would be of great help to
both students and librarians to
have copies of current course as-
signments and reading lists avail-
able at the Library Information
Desk, so that we can verify the
availability of resources in the
Library. I would be most ap-
preciative if you could send me
copies of your course assign-
ments and reading lists at your
earliest convenience, so that we
can be prepared to assist students
in obtaining the materials they
need. Thank you

Self-serve Video
Collection

We now have a self-serve video
collection located in the Listening
Lab on the main level of the
Library. It isa combination of
3/4" and VHS video tapes ar-
ranged in L.C. call number order.
Everyone is welcome to browse,
view the tapes on machines avail-
able in the Listening Lab, or take
them home. Videos can be signed
out at any time during the day,
but must be returned before 9:00
a.m. the next working day. It is,
therefore, even more important
that faculty prebook for class-
room use and we will continue
with the same system as in the
past. We would like to see easier
access and heavier use of our col-
lection and are hoping that this
new system will be satisfactory
for all Library users.

Library Orientations

Many faculty will have received
library orientation booking forms
in the mail.

If not, please contact Jacquie
Ticknor, Orientation Assistant, at
local 2108.
