Vancouver Vocational Institute THE COVER STORY The picture on the cover was taken at the Tower Opening Ceremony, 1983 02 07. Just in case you don't recognize all the people pictured, they are, from left to right, as follows: Dr. Peter Hebb, College Board Chairman Ms. Diane Lewis, Student Association Rep. Ms, Susan Reynolds, W1REU Representative Mr. Hans Rerup, WI Principal The Honourable William Vander Zalm, Minister of Biucation Mr. Tony Manera, VCC Chief Executive Officer Mr. Dennis O'Neill, VIA Representative The Opening Ceremony brought a variety of dignitaries from both the B.C. College system and government to WI. In addition to those listed above, such personages as Deputy Premier and Minister of Human Resources Mrs. Grace McCarthy, other College Board (see the article page 3) and College Executive Committee members were in attendance. This event has, however, already started to fade into a pleasant memory. Now, as we use the Mall and Tower, we are no longer overwhelmed by the changes which have been wrought to this area of our campus environment. The mall area of the tower is now the site of a variety of more routine but no less interesting activities, everything from exercise classes to quiet lunches. Cn Wednesday, April 6th, 1983, for example, the Mall will be the site of a BLOOD DONOR CLINIC, from 10:00-16:00 hours.

This is my second year in the seventh grade, and I'm bigger and taller than the other kids. They like me alright though, even if I don't say much in the classroom, because outside I can tell them how to do a lot of things. They tag me around and that sort of makes up for what goes on in school. I don't know why the teachers don't like me. They never have very much. Seems like they don't think you know anything unless they can name the book it comes out of. I've got a lot of books in my room at home -- books like "Popular Science Mechanical Encyclopedia," and the Sear's and Ward's catalogues -- but I don't very often sit down and read them through like they make me do in school. I use my books when I want to find something out, like whenever Mom buys anything second-hand I look it up in Sear's or Ward's first and tell her if she's getting stung or not. I can use the index in a hurry. In school, though, we've got to learn whatever is in the book and I just can't memorize the stuff. Last year I stayed after school every night for two weeks trying to learn the names of the Presidents. Of course I knew some of them like Washington and Jefferson and Lincoln, but there must have been thirty altogether, and I never did get them straight. I'm not too sorry though, because the kids who learned the Presidents had to turn right around and learn the names of the Vice Presidents. I am taking the seventh grade over, but our teacher this year isn't so interested in the names of the Presidents. She has us trying to learn the names of all the great Merican inventors. I guess I just can't remember names in history. Anyway, this year I've been trying to learn about trucks because my uncle owns three and he says I can drive one when I'm sixteen. I already know the horsepower and number of forward and backward speeds of twenty-six Anerican trucks, some of them Diesels, and I can spot each make a long way off. It's funny how that Diesel works. I started to tell my teacher about it last Wednesday in science, but she she didn't see what a Diesel engine had to do with our experiment on air pressure so I just kept still. The kids seemed interested though. I took four of them around to my uncle's garage after school and we saw the mechanic, Qjs tear a big truck Diesel down. Boy, does he know his stuff.' I'm not very good in geography either. They call it economic geography this year. We've been studying the imports and exports of Chile all week, but I couldn't tell you what they are. Maybe the reason is I had to miss school yesterday because my uncle took me and his big trailer truck down state about 200 miles, and we brought almost 10 tons of stock to the Chicago market. 2 He had told me where we were going; and I had to figure out the highways to take and also the mileage. He didn't do anything but drive and turn where I told him to. Was that fun! I sat with a map in my lap and told him to turn south, or southeast, or some other direction. We made seven stops and drove over 500 miles round trip. I'm figuring now what his oil cost, and also the wear and tear on the truck --he calls it depreciation -- so we'll know how much we made. I even write out all of the bills and send letters to the farmers about what their pigs and beef cattle brought us at the stockyards. I only made three mistakes in seventeen letters last time, my aunt said, all commas. She's been through high school and reads them over. I wish I could write school themes that way. The last one I had to write was on, "What a Daffodil Thinks of Spring," and I just couldn't get going. I don't do very well in school arithmetic either. Seems I just can't keep my mind on the problems. We had one the other day like this: "If a 57 foot telephone pole falls across a cement highway so that 17 3/6 feet extended from one side and 14 9/17 feet from the other, how wide is the highway?" That seemed to me like an awfully silly way to get the width of the highway. I didn't even try to answer it because it didn't say whether the pole had fallen straight across or not. Even in the shop I don't get very good grades. All of us kids made a broom holder and a book end this term and mine were sloppy. I just couldn't get interested. Mom doesn't use a broom anymore with her new vacuum cleaner, and all our books are in a bookcase with glass doors in the parlor. Anyway, I wanted to make an end gate for uncle's trailer, but the shop teacher said that meant using metal and wood both, and I'd have to learn how to work with wood first. I didn't see why, but I kept still and made a tie rack at the school and the tail gate after school at my uncle's garage. He said I saved him ten dollars. Civics is hard for me too. I've been staying after school trying to learn the "articles of Confederation" for almost week, because the teacher said we couldn't be good citizens unless we did. I really tried, because I want to be a good citizen. I did hate to stay after school, though because a bunch of us boys from the south end of town have been cleaning up the old lot across from Taylor's Machine Shop to make a play ground out of it for the little kids at the Methodist home. I made the jungle jim from old pipe, and the guys made me a Grand Mogul to keep the playground going. We raised enough money collecting scrap this month to build a wire fence clear around the lot. Dad says I can quit school when I am fifteen, and I am sort of anxious to because there are a lot of things I want to learn how to do, and as my uncle says, I'm not getting any younger. 3 THE 1983 COLLEGE BOARD The members of the 1983 Board are NAME APPOINTED BY THE New frtembers: Mr William Brown Vancouver Board of School Trustees, District 39 Dr. Karl Erdman Vancouver Board of School Trustees, District 39 Mr. Bryan Hannay Vancouver Board of School Trustees, District 39 Mr. John A.

This program is under the auspices of the Ubited Nations Development Program and, as such, the teachers will be under their patronage via Canedcom. A Sony language laboratory has been supplied to the centre. This will be a good situation for two families or someone who wishes to expose a spouse and children to the excitement and beauty of the Far East.

We will combine our talents with those of our Chinese counterparts to create a management training programme for factory managers. Teaching will be done by Canadian faculty who will endeavour to give their students a comprehensive appreciation and understanding ' of Canadian management techniques. RjII adaptation to the Chinese economic, political and administrative situation is not expected from the curriculum (it is expected from the Canadian staff), but consideration of practical needs facing factory managers will influence the curriculum development prior to start-up and may result in some tailoring during the first year. Curriculum Instruction will be in Riglish or French with sequential interpretation provided by trained and qualified interpreters. Topics for instruction: Principles of management Human resources management Operations planning Materials management Marketing Management accounting Economic principles Productivity management (w.s.) Quality control Finance and Banking Cost accounting International marketing Student preparatory training in economics, statistics, mathematics, and basic management will be provided by Chinese faculty. The programme aims to give factory managers the tools with which to handle day-to-day problems, problems which are very similar to those faced by their Canadian counterparts, in spite of the differences between the Chinese and Canadian economic systems. Candidates Rjll-time or sessional instructors of general business and management or specialists in production/operations management. Terms of Service Canadian instructors will be scheduled over a two-year period commencing JAN 84 and ending DEC 85, and will serve from six to twelve weeks. Because the assignments will be of short-term nature, there will be no provision for accompaniment by dependents. 21 SMARINDA PROJECT PHASE 2, EAST KALIMANTAN INDONESIA Concluding two years of negotiations, the Province has recently signed an agreement with CIDA by which the Ministry of Education will manage Phase 2 implementation of the project.
