NEW KING EDWARD CAMPUS PRINCIPAL
Dr. Paul Gallagher, President of VCC, has announced on behalf of the College
Board, that Dr. Lawrence E. Fast has been named Principal of King Edward
Campus. Dr. Fast will take up his new duties early in the new year. He
brings to his new post a distinguished career in teaching and in
administration in Canada and West Germany. His association with VCC began in
1962 with a teaching post in our precursor, the King Edward Continuing
Education Centre, where he taught until 1966. After teaching abroad and
further studies, he returned in 1970 to the English Department at Langara.
He was appointed Assistant Director, Continuing Education in December, 1973
and Dean of Instruction, Arts and Sciences, Langara Campus in November, 1979.
Dr. Fast is a member of numerous professional and educational associations and
in the past six years he has written and published in the Vancouver Sun,
reviews of approximately 400 books.
In making this announcement, Paul Gallagher observed, "I am pleased that a
candidate who is highly regarded throughout the college system happened also
to be a candidate from within our own college."

THE CHRISTMAS TREE
The Druids of early England celebrated the
victory of the evergreens over the darkness of
winter. The evergreen was a symbol of enduring
life. In ancient Rome, evergreen trees were

decorated with little masks of Bacchus as part of
the Saturnalia festivities held in mid-December.
However, the origin of the Christmas tree
tradition as we know it is primarily German. In
Medieval Germany, church plays were performed in
which one of the main pieces of scenery was a fir
tree, which symbolized the Garden of Eden. The
tree was hung with apples, and sometimes
decorated with ribbons and lighted candles.
During the 15th century, the Mystery Plays, as
they were called, were suppressed. The symbolic
presence of the tree, however, was cherished by
the people and moved into their homes where it
was further decorated with nuts and cookies.
The Christmas tree custom, having lost most of
its religious significance in favor of it's
festiveness, came to North America with German
settlers in the early 1700's. Today it exists as
one of our most treasured holiday traditions.

BURSARY FOR BAKERY STUDENTS
VVI has received a cheque for $5,000 from the Baker's Association of B.C. to
be used for a bursary fund for baking students.
Besides the $5,000 donated to VVI, the Association has also donated $5,000 to

assistance provided by VCC students at the Pacific Baker's Exhibition held
this fall.

FITNESS FITNESS FITNESS
The fall aerobics classes have been a great success - so popular in fact that
we have had to increase from twice a week to three times a week!
The success has been due, to a large extent, to the support given us by the
Management Committee and we would like to take this opportunity to thank them
for their continued support.
1987 classes will commence Monday, January 5 at 12:10 in the Exercise Room and
will run three times a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) until March 27th.
Anyone wishing further information contact Wynn Keenan at Local 200.
Merry Christmas and don't eat too much!!!

CHANGES TO OUR CONTENT GUIDES
The Program Development Department is here to help you in any matter
associated with curriculum development; program or course content guides,
evaluation, testing, computer applications for instruction, etc. To improve
the systematic development and production of Program Content Guides (PCG), the
Program Development Department has set up a three stage development including
1) a working copy, 2) a draft copy, and 3) a master copy.
To be effective in the production of PCG's the curriculum consultant must be
included at the start of any curriculum project, and will work in conjunction
with the Division Chairperson and the Department Head to produce a working
copy. The working copy leads to a draft copy which will involve working with
the Department Head, Division Chairman, Dean of Instruction, and Dean of
Administrative and Student Services. The final stage of production results in
the master copy which should only require signature by the deans indicating
final approval before publication. **Please avoid the circulation of extra
copies of the document - only one copy should be used to indicate alterations.
There is a specific consultant for your department - why not get in touch and
become acquainted!

WORK STUDY - WORK EXPERIENCE EDUCATION PROGRAM
The aim of the above program is to provide Secondary or College Students with
practical experience in businesses where the actual occupation is performed.
Colleges and Institutes have participated as an alternative experience where
the actual on-the-job experience was not available.
To establish a consistent Public Relations approach in processing requests for
people in the above group, here are some guidelines the Counselling Department
has been following:
1. The Secondary or College individual or Coordinator is asked to put the
request in writing.
2. The Counselling Department then forwards the request to the appropriate
Department Head/Coordinator and asks the question: Can the request be
accommodated?
3. The Department Head asks Counselling to inform the applicant of the

decision, or communicates the decision directly to the individual
requesting the work experience. Normally the Departments have placed a
maximum of three days attendance.
If the answer is positive:
a) A formal "work experience contract" is signed for each

individual. (Without a signed formal contract the College
could be liable if an accident occurred as the work experience
student is not legally a student in class, and therefore, not
covered by W.C.B. etc.)

b) The Department Head indicates the appropriate dates for Word
Experience students to attend classes. He/she also makes sure
that where required, appropriate medicals, etc., have been
completed.
c) The Work Experience Student/Coordinator pays for any additional
texts, supplies, and expenses incurred.
d) At the conclusion of the Work Experience Practicum, Instructors
or Department Heads have normally been asked to write a brief
evaluation report.
If the answer is negative, either the Department or Counselling are asked
to inform the requesting individual that we are unable to accommodate them.
4. The individual Departments normally arrange alternate times for Work
Experience Students to attend if they have more requests than they can
handle at any one time.

Generally, from Work Experience Students we obtain a more positive and
committed student in future programs. On the other hand, if Work Experience
Students after their experience at VVI decide not to attend, we have assisted
in clarifying their career goals.

Any comments that would provide more clarification would be appreciated.

EARLY RETIREMENT??

Courtesy AFTERWORK IWA Pension Plan Quarterly

Early
retirement
proposed
for

CPP

A parliamentary committee is currently
examining legislation which would bring
about a number of changes to the Canada
Pension Plan beginning in January, 1987
Changes to the plan require the approval of
the federal government and two-thirds of the
provinces with two-thirds of the population
All provinces have indicated their agreement
in principle.
The proposed changes include:
Flexible retirement
Contributors will now have the option of
drawing retirement benefits at age 60. Bene¬
fits will be reduced by .5 per cent for each
month prior to age 65; or, if the contributor
wishes to delay benefits until as late as age 70,
the benefit will be increased by .5 per cent for
every month after age 65 that he continues to
work and contribute to the plan.

Disability benefit
Disability benefits will be substantially
increased. The benefit is composed of a
flat-rate portion and an earnings-related por¬
tion equal to 75 per cent of the contributor's
imputed retirement pension. It is the flat-rate
portion which will increase' to 5233.38 from
591.06.
Survivor benefits
Survivor benefits will no longer be discon¬
tinued if the recipient remarries. Those
whose benefits were discontinued may apply
to have them reinstated, but no retroactive
payments will be made for the period prior to
January 1, 1987^
Combined survivor'disitbility benefits will
be increased and combined survivor/retire¬

ment benefits will be provided on a more
generous basis
Children's benefits
Dependent children will be eligible for two
CPP survivor/disability benefits if both par¬
ents were contributors to the plan. Children
will no longer lose eligibility if they have ever
been married, and the requirement that
school attendance be uninterrupted will be
withdrawn. When school attendance is inter¬
rupted, benefits will be reinstated when the
child returns to full-time attendance.
Marriage breakdown
In the case of divorces occurring after
January 1, 1987, pension credits earned dur¬
ing their time together will be divided equally
between the former spouses.

One year after separation (or termination
of a common-law relationship), either part¬
ner may apply for a division of pension credits
earned during their time together.
Assignment of pensions
Either spouse in a continuing marriage can
apply to divide the CPP retirement pension
earned during their life together, provided
that both spouses are at least 60 and have

applied for any CPP pension they are entitled
to. Each spouse will get an identical propor^
tion of the other's pension based on the
length of their marriage
Contribution increase
The contribution rate for employees and
employers will increase by 2 per cent every
_\eur for five years beyntng in iW.andby 15
per cent in each of the next 20 years.

PEOPLE ONCE BELIEVED THAT . . .
It was good luck for the first person up on
Christmas Day to open a door and "let Christmas in.1
If you smeared the plough with the stub of your
Yule candle at the first spring plowing, it would
ensure good crops.

Bells and chimes should be sounded on Christmas Day
to frighten away evil spirits.
Church bells destroyed or broken on Christmas Day
would ring every December 25th from then on.
Holly placed in windows would protect a home from
evi 1.

A sprig of holly on the bedpost brought happy
dreams.

Anyone who was not kissed under the mistletoe would
not marry during the following year.
