‘| Wednesday, October 19, 1988 Page B1 Chinese studies offered — International collec Sidney’s international college is a well-kept secret. By VALORIE LENNOX Review Staff Writer The smali but flourishin g local college operated by the Canadian College for Chinese Studies is hosting 15 students from mainland China this year. The students are taking a year-long English language and trade economics programs in the former Seventh-day, Adventist School on Bowerbank Road. The program has been offered at the school since May 1987, to students ranging in age from 20 to over 40. Some are recent college graduates while others have significant positions in government or industry in China. College director Dr. Wee Chong Tan said the college was established in 1984 in Victoria. The first students from mainland China arrived in 1985. By 1987 the college was seeking another site to house the growing program and was able to buy the Seventh-day Adventist school. The college also offers a 1 three-year | course in Chinese medicine, which attracts ye set in Sidney students from throughout North America and Europe, and part-time programs in Chinese language, art and history. In addition to the students from mainland China, there are 35 full-time students and 50 part-time students enrolled in college courses. Starting next September, the college hopes to add a two-ycar Chinese theology program. A major problem for the Sidney students is finding accommodation. Tan notes Victoria has an established tradition of student accommodation because of. the University of Victoria, but it is difficult to find people willing to billet or provide low-cost student accommodation in Sidney. He hopes making the college better known will help students find places to. stay. Several now live in Victoria and take the bus to and from class each day. Graduating students receive diplomas from the college for the program taken, One 1985 mainland Chinese graduate of the English language and trade economics -program is now manager of a Chinese firm which imports paper and pulp from Canada, Tan said. The college. therefore increases trade between Canada and China, he said. The bazaar that just won't siop growing Where will they put it next? It just keeps growing.

This year the bazaar will be held Nov. 12 from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. To provide enough room for the varicty of sale items and for. the expected crowd, a new area will be opened to the left of the main hall where the bake table, jams, jelly and gourmet foods will be sold.
