Some, like Mary Swift, an

Honors English graduate from —

Simon Fraser University, who
only. has a part-time assignment,

are hoping for ‘‘something more

substantial’’.
Others, like Judy Chrysler, an
instructor in Personal Fitness
Management in the nursing pro-
gram, have lived here for some
time. Or, like Jim Bathgate, Ba.
Voc./Tech, from the University
of Regina, are not strangers to
- the area; he was here in 1966 at
_ Kalum ‘Tire and Alcan, before
he and his wife spent several
years in Malawi, south central
Africa, then returned to Regina
to complete their education.
And'so many, like Jim and his
wife, have travelled and worked
around the world: Kathy Mac-
_ Donald, nursing instructor, who
worked in New Guinea; Chris
Baird, B.Sc.Honors, M.Math., :
in West Germany and Switzer-
land: Wendy Abbott, B.A.,
Adult Literacy, who taught in
Japan; Suzanne Gardner,
Science instructor, who has just
‘completed her thesis on Nuclear
‘Chemistry for her Masters
degree; and many others.
Scott Neis, Lab Technician, .
. who spent eight summers as
deck hand for the Coast Guard
on the MacKenzie River among
other adventures, summed ‘up
the comments from the new ar-
rivals: “I find B.C, extremely
hospitable and friendly, I’m im-
pressed.’"

Gary Morrison, B.Ed.,
M.Ed.(Admin), brings to the
college a strong, varied back-
ground. in administration,
business and all phases of educa-
tion and is looking forward to
the challenge and vitality of the
Northwest with its diversity of
cultures and communities.

‘‘The challenge will be to
develop a variety of learning
systems,’’ said Morrison.
‘‘Eyeryone is a potential client.
Learning is not restricted to the
classroom,’’ He adds that “‘our
responsibility doesn’t stop with
people coming through the.door

> _.. we should go out and shake

the bushes, in a manner of
speaking.” --

One of his keen interests is co-
operative learning in which he
was involved at Camosun Col-
lege in Victoria and the College
of New Caledonia in Prince
George. Oo

Cooperative learning inter-
weaves theory in class with prac-
ticum in the community; it could
be said to complement the ap-
prenticeship program except
that whereas apprenticeships are
industry-designed, rounded out
with classroom theory, cO-
operative learning is classroom
instruction supplemented. by

work experience in the com-

munity. a
The Morrisons have just

Dhabi, in the small state of
United Arab Emirates on the
Persian Gulf. He had been. at-
tracted by the chance to be part

of the formation of a completely
new college.

“Tt was definitely new,” said
Morrison, ‘‘we stepped off the
plane July 27, and had to use
our own pencils and: paper to

start the office. But by Septem- .

ber 11, we had the four colleges

- running, a separate college each
for women and men in two

centers.””

The Morrisons only stayed a

And-so they are returning to

“The north has been good to -
