King Edward Campus Auditorium LIGHTS t CAMERA: ACTION! Did you see yourself on NBC's IVbvie of the tyfeek "Stranger in my Bed", showi cn Mcnday, January 12? And did you recognize your old alma natter Andersen Technical Institute? Filming was done at WI last spring (the rhododendrons in Victory Square were draped with cypress boughs and cute little icicles were hung from the "Andersen Technical Institute" sign (formerly the WI sign), to make it appear mid-winter. Ihe extra's earned their money that day, having to be bundled up with scarves, mitts, heavy coats and warm boots cn an extremely hot day (the spectators were wearing shorts and t-shirts!). However, if you missed your chance at stardom in "Stranger in my Bed", perhaps you were more successful in appearing in the next Wl/NBC Movie of the Week shot this past wedc. This one is to be ontitled "Hands of a Stranger". We havn't yet determined if there's a link between having the word "stranger" in the title and having it filmed at VVI...but we're researching the connection! mHCCVlSEU COMMUNITY Vancouver Vocational Institute If NEWS FROM THE LIBRARY A hearty welcome back to Sandra Jones.
