Friendly Faces Needed

Peggy Erikson (Admissions) has been hospit- alized for a one month period.

Anyone wishing to bring a smile or some sun- shine into her day, may do so by dropping into Room 374 (Activation Wing) of the Lions Gate Hospital.

B.GC.A.C. Takes On New Role

(Letter to Bill Day, from Lorne Thompson, Executive Director, Program Services of the Ministry of Education, dated Aug. 31/83

This function represents not only the form- er Academic Council role, but also an ex- tension, in that articulation of all entry level vocational programs will be included. The object is to provide a forum for dis- cussion amongst those involved in common programs, and to guarantee unfettered move- ment from p grams at the secondary level and to programs at universities.

representation at all articulation meetings.

Please advise all concerned of the new pro- cedure for program articulation.
