Or can anyone teach anything? Whether teacher, student, administrator or staff, you probably have strong convictions regarding the need for teaching qualifications. If you do, take a few hours to share your ideas with your colleagues. Whatever your interpretation of ."Publish or Perish", during the coming summer months -- and a bit beyond -- you can do the former, avoid the latter and contribute to your national college newsmagazine - College Canada. Next January, the theme of College Canada will be "Anyone Can Teach Anything" - a topic suggestive of the debate which could rage over such an issue. Clearly the topic finds many caught between the need for and pursuit of relevant qualifications, and the security implicit in being a 'jack of all trades' when redundancy occurs. And of course, there are the valued opinions of students, staff and administrators. How do they feel about the issue? You have until November 15 before your lucid, penetrating comments need to reach me - but you'll probably want to take advantage of a few hours this summer to write an article. Of course, I'd also like you to circulate this note and encourage faculty, staff, students and administrators to join the chorus. Please take advantage of this genuine opportunity to discuss and publish your ideas. The specifications are attached - follow them, and if you have any questions, please let me know. Cordially, MSERT C.

NEEDED: A HOME-AWAY-FROM-HOME! This summer Continuing Education at Langara Cam¬ pus plays host to a number of students from Japan, Taiwan and Quebec who will study English here in programs from two to six weeks in length. An impor¬ tant part of their experience is a home-stay with a Canadian family. If you could provide a home-awayfrom-home for some of these young people, who range in age from their teens to early twenties, please give home-stay co-ordinator Patti Hinds a call With the resignation of board members Virginia Giles and Barry Irvine, the provincial government recently appointed two new members to the Vancouver Community College Board. They are lawyer Tony Saunders and business consultant Hope Wotherspoon. Mrs. Giles left the board to become a member of the National Parole Board, while Mr Irvine moved to calgary to take up duties as president of Genstar Structures Ltd at 324-5443. The college is looking for families who will do more than provide room and board to their guests, who are willing to make them part of day-today family life and who are interested in showing them firsthand how Canadians live. We prefer to place two students with each family, on a buddy sys¬ tem. Rates of compensation are generous. 10 STUDENTS TO JAPAN For a number of years, students from Japan's Takushoku University have come to the college's Langara Campus for a program of English language training. This spring, for the first time, the college's Pacific Rim Program is sending ten students from Canada to Takushoku University. They will be in Japan for one year, living with Japanese families and taking part in an intensive program of language and cultural study.

PDD BRIAN DWYER WRITES FROM TANZANIA 85 04 25 Have been here in Dar es Salaam for four sweaty days - it feels as if I have been here all my life! Our work is progressing very fast (surprisingly). People are very helpful and cooperative. The work pace is a little slower than Canada, but then again the sun is a little hotter than Canada - 110° F shade. The city shows signs of faded glory. Next week, we are off across country to Morogoro and Tebora. 85 04 28 The sun continues to shine and it's a treat to find an air conditioner that works so that you can cool off. Most days we have worked 14 hours starting at 6 a.m. and concluding with a dinner meeting wrap up and planning session at 9 p.m. We did, however, manage a swim in the Indian Ocean today. The water was like a warm bath so there are some compensations. Regards, Brian Brian and representatives from Swan Wooster and BC Rail are working on a CIDA sponsored project until the end of June evaluating training programs for the railway service in Tanzania.
