INSIDE DOUGLAS COLLEGE / November 13, 1991

 

 

THE INSIDE ZONE

by Carillon

M<idterms are over, Halloween has
come and gone, and Christmas is
on the way. Times flies when you’re
really busy, doesn’t it? Well, kick
back for a couple of minutes and
catch up on the inside stories on
some of your favourite co-workers.

The honourable...

Penny Priddy is not just an MLA.
The Community Support Worker
Instructor won the Surrey-Newton
riding from Rita Johnston, and when
Premier Mike Harcourt chose his
cabinet last week, Penny got a
portfolio. She’s now Minister of
Womens’ Equality.

Let’s do lunch...

Helping students has its rewards.
Just ask the friendly people down in
the Student Finance and Placement
Office. One student was so grateful
for assistance he got that he
brought in a home-cooked gourmet
Mexican lunch of chicken flautas
with salsa, sour cream and mozzarel-
la cheese to show his appreciation.
Apparently Marie Lino-Marin in
Student Finance and Placement was
so impressed by the cuisine, she’s
taking the $600 she won in Reno
and spending Christmas in Puerto
Vallarta.

A masterful job...

Community Support Worker In-
structor Rosemary Love successfully
defended her Master’s thesis recent-
ly. No word on when she’s starting
her PhD.

The boom continues...

Building Service Worker Lance
Hurst and his wife Fulvia have an
addition to the family, Christopher
Jordan, and former PIO Writer
Marilyn Assaf and husband Rob a
new daughter, Chelsea Elizabeth.

Congratulations...

Sports Institute Programmer
Chris “I’ve more stuff than Gretzky”
Johnson has won yet another

 

 

 

 

Is it the Phantom of the Operating Room? Or is it Psychiatric
Nursing’s Gloria Kummerfield? Gloria’s was one of many great
costumes on campus for Halloween. The winners of the Recreation
Committee’s first prize were Shirley Farrell and Sandi Mckinley,

dressed as two money bags.

 

award, this time being recognized
for his “Outstanding Contribution to
Coaching in BC” from BC Sports
and Recreation.

Thank you...

To the hard-working people on
the Recreation Committee for all
the work they’ve done recently
organizing the Crazy Hat Party and
the Halloween Party.

Denise’s secret pal...

At the last College professional
development day back in June, staff
were assigned what’s known as a
‘secret pal’. Ever since, Denise
Rutherford from the Sports Institute
has been receiving cards and mes-
sages from her secret pal. Who ever
it is covers their tracks cleverly,
using different handwriting, some-
times typing them, and even
sending little notes to her at home.
Denise has no clue who it is, and
she says she’s dying of curiosity. The
deal is that people don’t reveal their

identities until Christmas, but

Denise doesn’t want to wait that
long. Also, she wants her secret pal
to know two things: first, that choco-
late, not potato chips, is her
favourite food; second, whoever
you are, your little messages really
brighten up her day.

Have Harley, will raise money...

Dawn Makey from Shipping &
Receiving is already doing her part
to brighten up Christmas for people
less fortunate. She was one of
10,000 bikers who took part in the
annual Vancouver Toy Run on
October 27. They raised $15,000
cash, and collected 5,000 toys and
41 truck loads of non-perishable
food. Way to go, Dawn!

And before we go...

Have you heard about the new
corduroy pillows?...they’re making
headlines. m
