VST 2N4 In mid-September, the Ministry arranged for Mr. John Whitehouse, the Director of the Canadian branch of the International Labour Office, to address post-secondary institutions in British Columbia on the opportunities and procedures for providing consultants for ILO projects. These positions frequently provide base salaries of $40,000 U.S. with tax benefits, housing and transportation allowances. Consequently, they may be of interest to some staff for professional development opportunities as well as provide an opportunity for the VCC to strengthen ties with other countries. The International Labour Office in Ottawa has indicated its preference in using the Ministry of Post-Secondary Education as a mechanism for distributing information on projects to interested parties in British Columbia. The Ministry will be forwarding to VCC on a regular basis the ILO quarterly report outlining the list of vacancies in technical cooperation projects.

JL, ^ ^ ^ FOOD LUNCH EXTRAVAGANZA UPDATE ^ ^ VVI's first Junk Food Lunch Extravaganzd^as a rousing success but only because of the generous donation of hands, help and labour on the part of many departments and many people. The lunch was set to go at 10:30 and by 1:30 every tin of Jolt had been snapped up. The recently returned Building Construction Department were just dazzling at the Candy Floss machine and came up with a sure fire sales hook, kisses sold on the side for 650, proceeds of course to the United Way. How could any one resist such a deal I We tactfully refrained from asking for an itemized account of their total take. Special thanks go out to each of the departments who manned the booths, Hot Dogs Electrical, Ice Cream - Building Services Worker, Red Hot Tacos & Popcorn Business, and the Student Association - tickets . Who could miss the stunning Hairdressing Department as they beat off customers with curling irons'. It was hot and heavy going for the soft drinks. Dotie CXjdley of Dental did the delightful design of the signs and the excellent music played by the Sultan of Swing himself, Roy Wren was thoughtfully provided from the personal collection of Lauchlin "Lauch" McKenzie of IMS. Not to forget the people who made it all work, Ed,^ the electrician for frozen instead of melted ice cream, Lou and Charles in Receiving who didn't bat an eye at a popcorn wagon and the Food Trades Department who were nearly driven over the edge keeping track of it all. Thanks to everyone who made it so much fun. NOTE: The aerobics classes are still open for those of you who valiantly sacrificed your diets!Si THANK-YOU »« THANK-YOU ÿ ! So many people and departments have devoted time and effort to making this year's United Way Campaign a success that it would be difficult to name them all but a few do deserve honorable mention. Many thanks to the Printing Production department who went the extra distance in getting material out under impossible deadlines, to the Building and Grounds people who picked up and dropped off an assortment of equipment, the VCC Printing Centre who read minds and delivered on time.

The concept of a Vancouver Community College Press, then, originated some months ago by the President, Paul Gallagher, in the form of a question to College Staff: Should there be a VCC Press? To explore the questions more thoroughly, an ad hoc committee with representation from all centres was formed. Instructors and other staff were surveyed and all indicated an extremely strong interest in the idea. Formation As a result of that interest and, after examination of the fiscal implications, the committee recommended and the President accepted, the concept that the Vancouver Community College Press would be established. It would undertake a publishing program which would be low risk financially and within the capability of the College to undertake with a minimum of resources. Progress to Date Three publications have been selected for initial consideration: - The College Style Sheet which had been published by the English Department, Langara Campus, through several editions; - A baking manual which the Ministry of Labour, Apprenticeship and Employment Training Programs Branch indicated it would like to have VCC publish; - Let's Get On With the Job, a job search instructional guide developed by two KEC instructors which seemed to offer some opportunity for joint publications with a commercial publisher. These projects are now under way and at various stages. The College Style Sheet has been published in a revised edition of 10,000 copies. The market is firm inside and outside the College. The baking manual production is under way and a publications date is set for late December, 1986. The third, the job search manual is being considered for translation into French and is at an early stage of consideration. Some additional projects are emerging for future publication. VCC PRESS - PROGRESS Goals and Functions Working goals and functions have been developed for the Press. These take into consideration the fact that instructors on all campuses are developing materials that are publishable and, in fact, have been published. They also take into consideration the fact that the instructors of the College understand the information needs of college students in all their diversity. The Vancouver Community College Press would: - encourage and facilitate the publication by VCC authors - recognize the rights of authors who are employed as instructors at VCC - act as a publisher, producing and marketing, college level material - produce, market and distribute VCC publications on a cost-recovery and profit basis. - return profits to publishing endeavours and to authors after recovering costs. - arrange with other publishers the marketing and distribution of publications - publicize the range and quality of VCC programs and instructional - ^expertise through the publishing program Guidelines for Authors Working editorial policy is being developed. At this time the press is not "closed" to any project. Books, instructional games, pamphlets, distance education packages; any material at the community college level that has a potential market would be considered. However, resources to risk in such endeavours are limited so the following questions will enter into publishing decisions: is the item aimed at the community college market? are the standards of writing and instructional design high? is the material of direct instructional support? has the material been "field tested" in the classroom or shop? VCC - PRESS - PROGRESS Guidelines for Authors (contd.) is the author a VCC employee? is there a market within -the College? Beyond the College? How strong? Would the material be of interest to the general public? can the material be better distributed through the College press than through a commercial publisher?
