College Tours

 

 

The Spring Semester is over and you ne-
ed a holiday, but you are tired of the run
of the mill packaged tours offered by the
travel agents.

Then, think about taking advantage of

the three tours offered this May by the
Douglas College Travel Desk.

The Travel Desk has out together an in-
novative and interesting selection of tours,
which should be of interest to the students,
staff and faculty (administrators too) of
Douglas College.

Splendors of Greece

We have all dreamed of Athens (the birth-
place of Western Civilization) and the sun-
drenched Isles of Greece. Here is an oppor-
tunity to study the art, architecture and |
the ancient Greek Civilization, and have a
wonderful holiday too! ,

In Mia-May, Ms. Karen Storey, a lecturer
in the history of art, will be leading a max-
imum of thirty people to Greece.

The tour cost is a reasonable $2,990 for
three weeks of exciting travel.

Shakespeare and Stratford, Ontario
Theatre lovers! Here is the chance of

a lifetime! Fly off to Stratford Ontario
and the world of William Shakespeare.

For only $629 you get: seven days in
Stratford, six plays, two discussion ses-
sions on drama, top class hotel accomodation
(double occupancy), a night in Toronto, and
return air fare.

John Levin and Lee Stewart, two Douglas
College instructors will be accompanying
the tour and leading the discussion groups.

Study Tour of British Mental Health
Practices .

Here is something different! Ken Dercole,
a Douglas College instructor, has designed
a study tour of British Mental Health Prac-
tices.

This tour will be of special interest to
mental health workers, psychiatric nurses,
instructors and students, and anyone with a
keen interest in mental health services.

The purpose of this tour is to explore
the history, organization and delivery of
mental health practices in Britain and com-
pare them to those in British Columbia.

Tour cost, which includes air fare,
ground transportation, and accomodation is

NOTICE TO FACULTY/STUDENTS - from Reading/
Study Skills

Do you know that in order to gain ad-
mittance to any of the following pro-
-grammes (Nursing, Chairside Dental Ass.,
Early Childhood Education, Drafting,
Clerical Health Worker, Nurse's Aid)
you must be able to read and com
prehend at a specific threshold level?
Failure to obtain the specified level
set down by these programmes can mean
rejection from these programmes.

There are three ways of at-
tacking the Reading Threshold Testing:

1. Take your chances and write the
test 'cold turkey' on the date
specified.

2. See one of the Counselling/
Student Services receptionists
and ask to be tested on a
similar but alternate form of the
reading test. This will enable you
sto find out if you need any prepar-
atory work before writing the real
test.

. You can make all your reading skills
sharper and more efficient by taking
our Reading 100 course. At the end
of this course all students will be
given the same reading test that is
required for the threshold. If you
successfully obtain the necessary
standard for the applied programme,
