She is not too poor, however, to return a kindness. The film ends on an unexpected note of humor.

Submissions were due in February and a decision could be announced as early as March. What this means for employees of your institution, which I thought you should be aware of, is as follows: 1. Participants presently admitted in the ID Program who have enrolled in a course, paid fees to UBC but have not submitted a Major Assignment, MUST COMPLETE THAT COURSE (course only NOT Diploma) by August 31, 1986, AND PAY A $40 LATE SUBMISSION FEE, if they enrolled prior to April 1, 1984. 2. Participants presently admitted in the ID Program who have no outstanding assignments but would like to continue their studies, are invited to attend courses offered this Spring and Summer on the UBC campus. In doing so, however, they MUST AGREE TO COMPLETE any course in which they enrol, by August 31, 1986. Instructors for the four courses have adjusted their class activities to accommodate early completion, if not in-class completion. 3. Participants are invited to enrol in 101, 102 and 104 by correspondence immediately if they prefer. But, again, they MUST AGREE TO COMPLETE by August 31, 1986. 4. The new host will take over full administration, all permanent student records and continue with the ID Program as it is presently being delivered by UBC, on September 1, 1 986, but will not be able to service any participants who have outstanding assignments. They will offer courses to allow participants to complete their Diploma and to service new participants. THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION will remain the only authority able to issue the Instructor1 s Diploma. If you have any questions or concerns please contact me at 222-5222 at your earli¬ est convenience.

VICTORIA Post-secondary education minister Russell Eraser announced an allocation of $4.4 million to British Columbia's colleges and institutes under the Excellence in Education Fund. The funds are in addition to the College's base operating budgets and will be used to address non-salary inflation costs, provide for rural multi-campus centres and fund the Business Development Centres in colleges. The Minister was joined by MLA Doug Mowatt in announcing that the allocation to Vancovuer Community College will enable it to continue operating its Business Development Centre. The Centre - which assists entrepreneurs involved in creating new businesses - was established last year by the College with seed money provided by the Provincial government. "This new allocation is the first funding increase for colleges and institutes to be announced under the Excellence in Education fund unveiled by Premier Bennett February 11th, and follows meetings I held recently with College officials," said Fraser. Fraser noted the purpose of the Excellence In Education Fund is two-fold. It will be spent on: adjustments to the operating budgets of schools, colleges and universities special initiatives to improve the quality of instruction, to respond to economic development opportunities and to modernize facilities and improve efficiency The $110 million in first-year funding represents an increase in education spending of more than six per cent. Fraser said the allocation will provide a province wide total of $2.3 million for colleges to cover non-salary inflation costs, $1.3 million for Business Development Centres and $800,000 in additional funds for multi-campus operations. Fraser noted that colleges, too, will be able to compete with schools and universities for funding of special initiatives from the $110 million Excellence in Education Fund. "Because colleges, unlike schools, do not have access to the residential property tax base to increase their funding levels, it is important that colleges proceed with imagination to develop proposals for the fund to get their fair share of the special initiatives funding," he said. "I intend to be the advocate in Cabinet -- which is to approve proposals on a merit basis -- for colleges and universities to ensure equitable distribution of the funds and will be working closely with college officials over the next few weeks to assist them in developing specific proposals," he sail. Fraser noted he will be making a further announcement concerning student aid funding in the next few weeks. HWR
