page 4 __CAMPUS Dec. 6, 1977' by Jeannette van Eldik A petition containing 28 names which was submitted to the director of the Douglas College English division has succeeded in acquiring a course which is listed in the college calendar, but cur- rently not offered. The petition presented to director Bob Lowe by Eng- lish student Doug Coates called for the addition of English course 319 to the program as it was originally outlined in the calendar.

Vending machines need not be dispensers of junk food, observed Louise Crawford, community nutritionist for the South Okanagan Health Unit. Speaking at the conference for the B.C. Nutrition Coun- cil held here “last week, Crawford said that vending machines can provide a con- venient and economical sou- rce of nutritious food for ‘students. She gave examples of junk food being replaced in vend- ing machines by milk, nuts, English 319 319 course but found there is no time to prepare for it. Director, Bob Lowe said that teaching the new course means a lot of time will have to be spend brushing up on materials and preparing for a class. The students also wanted more choice, Lowe said, but not everyone is prepared: to do additional work for new courses, as there has been a time lapse since these courses have been taught. The students submitting the petition thought the courses were not. trans- ferable when in fact they were. The English courses 316-317 met all the require- fruits and other healthy f- oods. In these instances, the schools affected did not lose revenue from food sales, as they had expected by the replacements. Nutritionists should work in co-operation with pening erkine operators, as well as student councils, staff and parents, Crawford stressed. Also speaking at the conf- erence was Dr. Katherine Mirhady, a children’s physi- cian and the vice-chairman of the Vancouver School Board. She suggested that the res- - Discover anada ae : CA mie: with down to earth Greyhound fares! Now! Two low-cost travel plans for coast-to-coast savings! offered ments for University trans- fers. Douglas College does not offer second year sections in many courses and as univer- sities change their curri- culum it affects what should be taught at college, Lowe said. The college must change to meet the respon- sibility of transfers to the students. Last spring, Lowe handed out a questionnaire asking what courses students wanted, where they wanted them and what difficulties it would impose. There is also the problem of the availability of library resources, which they are getting thin on.

Dr. Mirhady said nutrition education has become more important now than in the ast. Factors such as rising ood costs and new products - many of them junk food - demands education.

This approximately five semester program explores the various aspects of com- munication and a_ student achieving 60 credits is a- warded a diploma of asso- ciate in communications. Harold McInnes of the Surrey English and Com- munications department was the creator of this well rounded program which en- compasses a variety of writing courses (journalism, expository writing, writing skills, freelance writing, creative writing) and eedeate to such areas as pyschology, political science and social theory. Harold himself teaches: communications 110 and 290, both of which deal specifically with the theory of communication and also ex- pository writing. asically, the program is a study of the science of com- munications through writing, newspaper production, language studies, Canadian studies and so on to a list of 42 courses. The selection of courses is expected to grow and hopefully by September 1978 some more will be added. For example, courses in typesetting and advance photography. A Tefinite advantage for students involved is that they can take- the courses at whatever speed and in what- ever order they desire, both day and evening. The communications pro- gram is designed to give the student a good background in the art and craft of com- munications, and the student will be expected to have a | good grasp of the language and how it functions in contexts such as journalism. Also expected is the stu- dents development in the areas of government and politics. The program pro- videsd an opportunity for students to explore parti- cular Canadian problems so they relate to geography, language and social insti- tutions.
