THE CHRISTMAS TREE AND A TIME OF SHARING
The festive season which is about to begin has different meanings for
different people for any number of reasons.
It would be nice to think of it as a time for sharing, a time when we have the
opportunity to share with others.
With that in mind, we advise those who would like to share that they can do so
this year by placing their non-perishable donations under the Christmas tree
or on the collection box by the Student Association Office after 1984
December 07. The goods collected will be used to make up hampers for the less
fortunate.

A FRIENDLY REMINDER TO ALL DEPARTMENT HEADS AND INSTRUCTORS
Austerity is here to stay for a while yet]
Students and graduates are contacting you and ourselves on a daily basis
seeking employment opportunities. We know employers are taking up your
valuable time with order details. Why not refer them to our office and let us
do your clerical order taking. The school will still get credit for producing
well qualified students and placements. This way we can all benefit. We are
here to assist everyone, not just students.

We are still offering one of the best job information centres in Vancouver.
Your cooperation is necessary]

MATH SKILLS
We regret the loss of the tutorial service from the Library area, but all is
not lost - basic math skills can still be learned outside of the classroom.
The Library offers a large selection of books and AV aids for independent
learning and upgrading. Here is a list of only a few of the AV items
available in the Library:

Introduction to Algebra (7 filmstrips)
Math Skills for Business (6 filmstrips)
Fundamentals of Calculus (8 filmstrips)
Introduction to Fractions (slides)
Introduction to Decimal Fractions (slides)

The Metric System (1 filmstrip)
Transition to Metric (slides)
Addition and Subtraction of Whole Numbers (slides)
Division of Whole Numbers (slides)

Multiplication of Whole Numbers (slides)
Please refer your students to the Library for books, AV aids, and reference
help.'
