VOLUME 03 : NUMBER 11 : MARCH 21, 1985
GRADUATION
VVI had another very successful graduation last Thursday. I would like to
thank all the people who worked behind the scenes to make it a success
including Food Trades who ensured that the coffee and cookies were ready on
time, George Clark who handled all the arrangements of furniture in the foyer
and Judy Weiss and all the support staff who helped with the program and
gowns. I am sure I have missed someone but I would like to extend my sincere
thanks to all those involved.

Noonhour film for March 26. BAMBOO, LIONS AND DRAGONS
Two families, the Changs and the Lims, tell the story of the Chinese
community in Vancouver from widely different perspectives. Chang Yun Ho
arrived in Canada in 1908. His generation never integrated into the
Canadian mainstream, partly because of the passage of the Asiatic
Exclusion Act that fostered racism. By contrast, Liz and Herb Lim were
born in Canada and grew up in Chinatown. They now live in the suburbs,
totally acculturated to Canadian ways.

FROM THE STRANGE ENCOUNTERS BIN a Counselling encounter . . .
Unknown person: I just bought a steam locomotive kit and I would like to get

it put together here at VVI.
Staff member: I'm sorry but we have no department that does that sort of
thing.
Unknown person: I don't understand, you have a steam plant here and I'm sure
they can do it. I get my hair cut here for $1.50 and I
thought I could get the steam engine done here much cheaper.
Staff member: Sorry, the Power Engineering Department doesn't work on small

things like that.
Unknown person: Well I'm a non-alcoholic in many areas ....
