A lot of people think colleges shut down
in the summer. Well, most of the students
are gone and quite a few faculty and staff
are on holiday, but there are still people
working away. That’s why we would like
to propose to administration that June
officially be designated "Buy your hard-
working staff a really expensive lunch"
month. Doesn’t your Departmental Assis-
tant deserve a break today? (Restaurant
Des Gitanes, hint, hint).

Move over, Monet...

Alumni and Development Officer Alana
Frymire’s husband Bill made a great
impression at a recent international com-
petition sponsored by the Corel Draw soft-
ware company. Bill walked away with the
Best of Show award for a computer graph-
ics art piece. Prizes included a one-kilo-
gram gold bar and $15,000 worth of
computer equipment. As well, Frymire’s
art will be featured in a $500,000 adver-
tising campaign by Corel Draw.

Salsa and samba...

Blair Fisher reports the Salsa concert on
April 16th netted about $1,500 which was
used in recording the Jazz Band’s new CD.
Fisher also reports some shifting in the

songs to be used could mean the disc’s
planned title of Snow Samba (Salsa) may
be changed...

Poetry merits silver medal...
Elizabeth Harvor, an Event author, won
a silver medal for poetry May 8 at the
National Magazine Awards in Toronto.

Harvor's poems, "The Street Where We
Lived," "Madam Abundance" and "Living
