LIBRARY FILMS February 14 (11:45 in the Library Screening Room)

ANGOTEE: STORY OF AN ESKIMO BOY (31 minutes)
The story of Angotee begins with his birth in the Eastern Arctic
in 1953, and shows his childhood and first long trip, his day to
day life, and his position within the family. He learns hunting
skills from his father, and upon entering manhood shoots his first
seal. By the end of the film he himself marries and begins to set
up his own household.

ANIMALS IN MOTION (7 minutes)
Between 1877 and 1885, English photographer Eadweard Muybridge
conducted detailed experiments in the analysis of human and animal

motion by means of rapid photography. In 1968, John Stratton took
the published works of Muybridge and created from them a
fascinating, charming, hilarious film; a tribute to the maker of
the first nudie - long before the invention of the movies.

INCOMING TELEPHONE CALLS
I have been receiving complaints from outside callers that some
incoming telephone calls to the switchboard are either not being
asnwered, or all incoming lines are busy.
I believe that the main reason for this is due to the numerous
requests the switchboard operators receive to screen calls for
departments. Screening calls takes up a great deal of the
operator's time and results in a back up of incoming calls to the
switchboard.
The operator is responsible for processing incoming calls to the
departments as quickly as possible and does not have the time to
screen calls, therefore, it must be the department's responsibility
to screen their own calls!

USING AUDIO-VISUAL AIDS EFFECTIVELY
Audio-visual aids are powerful teaching devices if they are used
well. They can also be disastrous when used inappropriately or when
they don't work. This workshop will show you how to use A-V aids
effectively, from preparing simple overhead transparencies; to
developing your own teaching materials using a range of projectors,
video and cassette machines, T.V.'s, etc.; to troubleshooting
problems when there is no technician around.

Bring a packed lunch! Registration is limited!
The date is Saturday, February 18th, from 09:30 to 16:30. The
session costs $25.00. For registration, please call Jill Tyndale,

IMBIBER'S ODE
The horse and the mule live 30 years,
And they know nothing of wine and beer.

The goat and sheep at 20 die,
And never taste scotch and rye.
The cow drinks water by the ton,
And at 18 is mostly done.

The dog at 15 cashes in
Without the aid of rum and gin.
The cat in milk and water soaks
And then, in 12 short years it croaks.
The modest, bone-dry hen
Lays eggs for nogs, then dies at ten.

All animals are strictly dry;
They are sinless, live and swiftly die.
But sinful, ginful, rum-soaked men and women
Survive for three-score years and ten;
And some of them, a very few,

Stay pickled till they're 92!
