FINE ARTS EXHIBITION

(THE ANNUAL HELEN PITT GRADUATE AWARDS EXHIBITION)

The Annual Helen Pitt Graduate Awards Exhibition was held recently at the Robson Square Media Centre, Vancouver. This exhibition was conceived in 1978 by the Vancouver Foundation and estab- lished with funds left in trust by

» Helen Pitt.

Helen Pitt was born in Hartford, Con- necticut. In later years, after trav- elling and living in England and India, she retired to Vancouver and Vernon where she died in 1976.

In 1961 her donation of $10,000 estab- lished the fund which, administered by the Vancouver Foundation, has now grown to over $400,000. Half of the interest provides bursaries for deserving art school students, and the other half fi- nanaces the Annual Helen Pitt Graduate Awards Exhibition which is now in it's fifth year.

The distribution of the awards is made at the discretion of the juror; none may be over $5,000.

From works submitted by 121 applicants, 7 contibutors were selected for awards, and 37 pieces were chosen for the ex- hibition.

Of the twenty nine finalists, two were ex-students from Kwantlen/Douglas Col- lege, and of the seven awards, six were divided between U.Vic., and Emily Carr with the lone U.B.C. award going to Virginia Stirling.

Virginia is an ex-Fine Arts Student of Kwantlen/Douglas College, and she was the recipient of one of the top cash awards of $1,600.00, for her entry in the exhibition, entitled "Mother and Daughter", 1982, acrylic on canvas.

Margaret Koole, who was one of the twenty nine finalists, and who attends U.B.C. is also an ex-Fine Arts Student of Kwantlen/Douglas.

TYPES OF SEIZURES AND FIRST-AID TREATMENT

Forms of epilepsy are usually identified by the manifestations that occur during the attacks. A grand mal seizure is a "generalized" convulsion which may last a minute or more and can occur daily, weekly, monthly, or annually. The per- son loses consciousness and usually falls to the ground.

For first-aid, establish the followi procedure:

1. Do not try to restrain the person or force anything between the teeth.

2. Clear the surrounding area to prevent injury. 3. Turn the body and head to one side to

allow unobstructed breathing and easy saliva flow.

4. Let the seizure run its course. Do not try to revive the person.

5. Let the person rest when he/she re- covers consciousness.
