As our region develops, so do its institutions and facilities. We are doing more things "at home" - and doing them well - for which not many years ago we had to look to the Lower Mainland: Our College's vocational and business education programs are second to none in the Province. The Academic Division's University Transfer courses fully meet B.C. University's standards. Beyond these program areas the College addresses further educational needs as identified: • English language training for new Canadians, • Adult Basic education for those who need or wish to upgrade their basic educational level, • Career and technical upgrade or update courses, • a wide array of general interest programming. This calendar gives you an overview of what is available; often you will see additional courses advertised in your local newspaper or by radio. Community Colleges are intended to be responsive to needs. If you have any questions as to what may be necessary and available to fill your educational wishes or requirements, you should feel free to contact the College at any of its listed centres. H. J.

Decentralization Northwest Community College is committed, wherever it is financially and physically feasible, to decentralize educational and training services so that the opportunities for education and training are equitably shared by residents of the region. The College believes that access to education should be based on needs of residents and not their geographical location. Provincial ResponsibiHty Northwest Community College's primary concern is with serving the needs of residents in its region. However, the College recognizes that, as part of the provincial educational system, it has a responsibility wherever possible to serve special needs of residents outside the College region. Assessment of Needs Northwest Community College recognizes that an important function of its operation is to determine and assess the educational and training needs in its region. To this end, the College actively seeks input from community organizations and individual residents; it is especially responsive to recommendations made by advisory committees established by the College. Relationship with other Organizations When deemed appropriate, Northwest Community College cooperates with other educational and training organizations, both within the region and outside the region, in order that the best services possible might be provided for the people in the region. Quality Northwest Community College strives for excellence in all the services it provides and does not sacrifice quality for expediency. Presentation of Services Northwest Community College is committed to development of delivery systems that take educational and training services to the people where they live and work. When considering the delivery systems to be used the College is concerned not only with cost effectiveness but also with the quality of instruction, particularly as quality is related to student-instructor contact. Citizenship Northwest Community College recognizes that an important objective is to provide people with the capability to function within and relate to the principal social in· stitutions such as government and the law. The College recognizes its responsibility to aid in the development of citizens who can participate fully and effectively in society in general and in their individual communities. Disadvantaged People Northwest Community College recognizes that special attention should be given to the educational and training needs of working people. Native people, and women, as well as to other segments of society that historically have been disadvantaged with respect to enjoying full access to educational and training opportunities. Governance of College The governance and operation of Northwest Community College reflects the legitimate concerns of all elements within the College and in the communities served by the College. Accountability Northwest Community College recognizes that it is a public institution utilizing public money for its operation, and that therefore it must be accountable to the public in everything it does. To this end the operations of the College are open to public scrutiny. To improve ac· countability, the College recognizes its responsibility to ensure that proper evaluation takes place of everything it does and that self-renewal is an ongoing obligation. 5 General Information / Community Edl!cation Services co~ordinates offcampus courses.

Structure of the college Application Procedure Northwest Community College is organizationally separated into five divisions. Each of these divisions has a Head or Director who reports directly to the Principal who is, in turn, responsible to the College Board. The College Board is the managing group of the College and is made up of one representative from each of the six School Districts served by the College and five representatives appointed by the Minister of Education. There are three instructional divisions and two noninstructional divisions: - The Vocational Division administers the full-time vocational pre-apprenticeship and pre-employment programs offered in Terrace and other centers. It coordinates the part-time and shorHerm vocational programs offered in Terrace and other centres. · The Academic Division administers the University Transfer Program; Career Programs in Early Childhood Education and Human Services Worker; and special programs in the areas of Women's Studies, Workers Education and Aboriginal Studies. · The Community Education Division co-ordinates through its community education coordinators, the Vocational and Academic programs offered in the local communities. Also each year many courses of general interest are offered through this division. - The Student Services Division encompasses the areas of Admissions, Registration and Records, Counselling, Financial Aid and Awards, the Learning Resource Centre, and the Residence and Recreational facilities. · The Administrative Division, headed by the Bursar, administers the Budgeting, Accounting, Purchasing Facilities, Maintenance, and general support areas of the College including the Bookstore. People wishing to undertake programs at Northwest Community College should complete an Application for Admission form. These forms are available from any college office. The completed form together with any supporting documents should be sent to: The Registrar Northwest Community College P.O. Box 726 Terrace, B.C. V8G 4C2 In courses where there is limited enrolment, applicants will be accepted on a "first apply - first accept" basis, provided that all admission requirements have been met. Purpose of this Calendar This calendar is intended to provide students and the general public with an overview of the programs at Northwest Community College. It is not possible, in a book of this size, to introduce each course or program in great detail. Persons wishing more detail on courses, programs or other information printed in this calendar are invited to contact the Student Services or the Counselling Office at the college. Fees Fees for the programs listed in this calendar are detailed in the body of each program. The fees shown are those in effect at the time of printing of this book. While the College will endeavour to maintain charges at the lowest possible level students should anticipate some increases as necessitated by inflation. Confidentiality of Student Records The College considers a student's record of achievement to be confidential material and for that reason it will not release any information of any kind about a student except upon the student's authorization in writing. Appeal Any student who feels that a decision given to him or her from the college may not be just, or that a grade received does not reflect their actual achievement shall have the right to appeal that decision. Students who find themselves in this position should first endeavour to discuss the matter thoroughly with the instructor or staff member involved. If a satisfactory understanding cannot be reached at that level they may take their concerns to the Chief. Instructor or Head of the program or depart· ment. 7 Student Services Counselling Services Health Services Counselling is available weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30p.m. in the Administration building. Counselling is also available on a regular basis in each of the College Centres. Those wishing to make an appointment should contact the local college office. Counselling is available in the following areas: ~ program and course advising - career decision making - vocational planning - personal counselling - financial aid - effective study skills - adjusting to college life. Counselling can hlep when you are faced with decisions or problems that affect your life as a student. Talking things over with a counsellor can hlep give you an overall view of the situation and assist you in finding solutions and alternatives. The campus first aid station is located just south of the Vocational building. It is open from 8:00a.m. to 4:00p.m. weekdays. Should you require medical services during your stay at the college call a local physician or the Skeena Health Unit (635-6307) for appropriate referral. Students are encouraged to ensure that they will have adequate medical insurance during their stay at the College. Housing Dormitories Dormitory space is available on campus for 240 students. Most rooms are designed for double occupancy. Each student has a desk, dresser, bed and closet. There are six two-storey dormitories; each floor has a washroom and showers, a lounge, a coin-operated washer and dryer and a pay telephone. Meals are provided from the cafeteria. Most linen is provided, but students should provide their own towels, facecloths, soap, laundry detergent, etc. Reservations are advised. Students can receive room assignments from the Security office on the main floor of the cafeteria building. This office is open each day. Costs for dormitory accommodation and meals during the 1979-80 academic year were $152.00 per month for a shared room and $200.00 per month for a single room. These fees are subject to review. Rental Accommodadon If you are a student with dependants you are advised that no accommodation is available on campus and you should locate your own accommodation in Terrace.

Bookstore The bookstore is located on the ground floor of the Administration building opposite the Learning Resources Centre. It sells textbooks for all college courses and programs. Books and Magazines for general interest reading are also sold. Students can also obtain notepaper, pens, school supplies, and stamps. Textbooks will be available at each College Centre. 8 Public Transportation It is expected that public bus transportation will be available in the Terrace area during the fall of 1980. The Learning Resources Centre The learning resource centre is growing very rapidly to develop an up~to-date multi-media collection of both print and non-print resource materials to support the teaching and learning at the College. There are over 14,000 books, 450 periodicals, plus videotapes, slides, films and film-strips, audio tapes and cassettes, to meet your study or research needs for information. At present, the majority of resource materials are kept at the Terrace centre. However, we are planning to ex· pand the collection to all other centres in the near future. A microfiche catalogue of the Terrace collection will be available in all centres so that all students can check library holdings and borrow materials from the Terrace Centre. In addition to our own collection, we also have the microfiche copy of the British Columbia Union catalogue which includes all books and serials in all universities and colleges in British Columbia. This means that if you do not find the book you need in the Northwest College catalogue, we can use inter~library loan service to borrow books for you from other universities and colleges. There are over half a million volumes of books and other materials listed in the catalogue which we can borrow to supplement our own collection. Library tours and orientation are also available at the LRC, all staff will be very glad to assist you whenever you need help. Student Association Message The Northwest Community College Student Association is dedicated to represent the rights and interests of the students. All full-time students pay membership fees upon registration and elect their own student council. We encourage students to voice their ideas and suggestions either verbally or in the Student newspaper, "The Raven". Our office is under the ramp in the student lounge. Please, drop in any time. T:1e Student's council is made up of Class representatives from each class or department. These "reps" are usually nominated by the class upon first meeting. These Reps attend weekly Student Council meetings presided over by the President acting as chairperson in the meeting. Other positions are Vice-President, Treasurer, Sports Rep., Social Convenor and Treasurer. Nominations are held for the first 2 or 3 weeks of the Academic year each September and then elections are held soon after nominations close. Forms for nomination must be signed by the nominee and 2 other students. These forms are available from the Student Association Returning Officer and people are encouraged to campaign. These positions are educational and also good reference on job resumes. The Student's Association sponsors "Pub Night'', occasional dances, barbecues, and hopes to promote a music concert or two. Our recreational program includes a hockey team, iceskating, badminton, swimming, and the use of a gym· nasium. The College Curling Bonspiel is a major event which brings everyone in the College together for a good time. These activities are only successful with adequate support and co-operation from everyone. That is why we encourage you, the new student to get involved. With your participation the Student Association can effectively represent students concerns and make possible rewarding memories. Remember, we need your participation.

For detailed and up-to·date information as to how you may qualify for sponsorship, you are encouraged to apply directly to the government agency involved. Canada Employment and Immigration Commission The Canada Employment and Immigration Com- mtsston (formerly the Department of Manpower and Immigration) may authorize financial assistance through local offices for persons entering approved vocational training courses which will assist them to: (a) Upgrade present work skills; or (b) retrain for a new job. Persons referred to these full-time training courses by an Employment Counsellor and who qualify for Unemployment Insurance benefits, will be paid such benefits during training. Trainees not eligible for benefits may be paid training allowance. Additional allowances may be paid to trainees who must commute more than 48 km per day or who must live away from home while continuing to maintain a household. Trainees may also receive a travel grant to cover the cost of travel between their home and place of training. To be eligible for financial assistance, trainees must be 16 years of age or over and must not have at· tended school on a regular basis for at least 12 months. For further information contact your local Canada Employment Centre. B.C. Ministry of Labour Pre-indentured apprenticeship training is available to eligible persons who want to prepare themselves for apprenticeship prior to employment in industry. The Ministry of Labour, under the Pre-Indentured Ap· prenticeship Plan, recognizes the importance of such training and financially assists eligible people. The selection of students is made by a committee comprised of Ministry of Labour officials, Ministry of Education officials, and representatives from industry and (or) unions. Preference is given to persons over 16 years of age who have at least a Grade 10 education. Recent high school students are often well suited to this training. A transportation allowance equivalent to one return fare is paid to students who must leave home to reside near the training centre. Tuition for those selected for training is paid by the 1\lfinistry of Labour. For further information on application procedures, contact your local Ministry of Labour office at 4548 Lakelse Ave., Terrace, B.C., V8G 1P8 or the Director of Ap· prenticeship Training, B.C.

Ministry of Human Resources The 1\lfinistry of Human Resources, through its district offices, provides assistance to people who: (a) are currently in receipt of Income Assistance under the G.A.I.N. Act; (b) meet the eligibility requirements and are not deemed "job ready", or (c) not able to obtain employment that would provide adequate remuneration to make them self-supporting without further educational or vocational ·training. Where training is seen as a constructive method of assisting an individual to become self-sufficient, the Ministry of Human Resources will provide eligible Income Assistance recipients with a training allowance to enrol in a course approved by the Ministry. This financial assistance is primarily given to improve a person's employment potential, but there is flexibility to allow for underwriting the cost of life skills or parent-role strengthening courses where this will improve a family situation. Under the G.A.I.N. Act and Regulations, training or educational assistance is limited to a two-year training or educational program, ordinarily vocationally orientated. Persons attending a college or university on a degree program do not qualify for training allowance. For furhter information, contact the individual in the :Ministry of Human Resources responsible for your In· come Assistance bendit. Community Vocational Rehabllitadon Service Financial assistance is available under the Vocational Rehabilitation of Disabled Persons Act to any individual who is capable of pursuing regularly an occupation which meets the individual's basic economic needs. Each applicant undergoes a medical and vocational assessment. When vocational training becomes a part of an individual's rehabilitation program and when such training is not available through the Employment and Immigration Canada Training Program, financial assistance may be obtained. Assistance for training-on-the-job is also available when a particular training course is not offered by vocational schools. This assistance is given to an employer as reimbursement for the time and effort expended in in· structing the student. Assistance is not limited to people in vocational training only; academic and technological course work is also endorsed when there is firm evidence that this level of training is required to assist the individual to become employable.

VSA lKl. Federal Department of Indian Affairs. The Federal Government provides a comprehensive program of financial assistance to status Indian people who qualify for enrolment in pre-vocational, vocational and post-secondary training at a variety of educational institutions. Indian students who also meet enrolment requirements and so not qualify for other sources of financial assistance may apply to their local Indian band office, or a district office of the Department of Indian Affairs. Assistance is provided on the basis of need and includes living allowances, tuition costs, books, supplies, and tran· sportation costs. Funds are also used for special training needs identified by Indian communities for adult education or Band staff training. 15 Community Education Services The Community Education Service is an integral part of the College. The C.E.S. is responsible for the development and delivery of all general interest and community education courses throughout the College region. This department also manages regional College centres (see map inside front cover) and aids the Academic and Vocational Divisions-in the delivery of their programs throughout the College region. In addition, the Community Education Service offers special credit and non-credit courses, seminars, and workshops in response to requests from community or interest groups. At each Regional Centre C.E.S. maintains an educational and career opportunities library, and counselling is available on an appointment basis. Information about the Academic, Vocational and C.E.S. courses offered in each region is widely publicized using a combination of a brochure I flyer, local papers, and the radio and TV networks. For information on College courses being offered in your community please call your nearest College Centre office. Community Education staff welcome your suggestions for new courses; please feel free to contact them! Distance Education Many residents of the Northwest are denied enrolment in college courses because they cannot be at the place where a course is offered at the time it is offered. Fishermen, shiftworkers, women at home, or others who find it difficult to attend regular classes will soon have the opportunity to take college courses by distance education methods. 16 Distance education is correspondence education in the broadest sense of the term. Programs are designed for guided independent study based on the use of print and non-print learning materials with an effective mechanism for two·way communication between the student and teacher. Courses for distance study will be advertised in the regional brochures. For additional information please call your neastest College Centre. Health Programs A Health Advisory Committee to Northwest College was established in late 1975. Since its inception it has addressed itself to the problems of keeping competent and qualified health workers in the Northwest region. The Committee is comprised of representatives from health agencies, institutions and related organizations involved in the delivery of health care services. Besides meeting the needs of health workers in the College region, the Committee also advises on the provision of general in· terest health care programs for the public. The College employs a part-time Health Programs Coordinator whose function is to work closely with the Health Advisory Committee and to develop programs through the College region as needs demand. Input for these programs can be made by contacting the College Centre nearest to you (see the map on inside front cover). A health newsletter is distributed several times a year to keep health workers up to date on health program of· ferings in the College region. General interest health programs are advertised in the regional brochures. Academic Division Nature of Program The Academic Division was established in 1975 and serves a region comprising the six school districts in Northwest B.C. Courses are offered in Houston, Smithers, Hazelton, Terrace, Kitimat, Prince Rupert, Stewart, in the Nass Valley and on the Queen Charlotte Islands. The courses offered in the individual com~ munities will vary from year to year. In most centres, classes are usually held in the evening. In Terrace (with on-campus dormitories) and Prince Rupert a full day program is available. The College promotes the concept of "lifelong learning" and is sensitive to particular educational needs. Presently courses are offered in the following programs: 1) The University Transfer program offers academic courses for university transfer credit and for general interest. 2) The Career-Technical Program offers courses in Early ChildhoOd Education, and Human Service Worker. 3) The College Preparatory Program offers courses in English, Mathematics and Chemistry for students who wish to obtain background in these areas prior to enrolling in university transfer courses. 4) Special Programs offer courses through the Aboriginal Studies Program, the Women's Studies Program, and the Workers Education Program. Admission Requirements - Open Door The Academic Division has an "open door" admissions policy and the College will, in general, not require a specific educational background except for some science courses. Students coming from high school are normally expected to have completed grade twelve. Courses are designed for students who intend to proceed to a first degree at a university or for those who wish to further their intellectual interests. Some students may have been out of formal schooling for some time. This latter group forms a large and successful portion of the student body. Counselling is available to assist students in selecting their course of study. Course Offerings A timetable of courses to be offered and their location will be available from local College Centres in early August. Pre-requisites Unless a course specifically requires a pre-requisite, the course is open to any student of the College. / Of Interest to University Transfer Students Transfer to and from other insdtutlons 1) Colleges All B.C. Colleges have agreed to accept each other's credits upon transfer if an ·equivalent course exists at the admitting college. 2) Universities in B.C. For course equivalencies at UBC. SFU, and UVic students should consult the counsellor for assistance in ascertaining specific university requirements. (University· calendars are available to students). The general standards for transfer are as follows: ~ No grades less than 'C are assured of credit. - A cumulative Grade Point Average of at least 2.0 is required. - Students may not normally transfer more than 60 College credits to a university. The Academic Division carefully reviews its curriculum to ensure a variety of course of· ferings and acCeptable university equivalency. • Numberillg System The numbers listed for each course in this calendar indicate the course number 'and the credit units of per Semester. A full-time student taking a full load of 5 courses per seme-sterwould obtain 30 credits in each academic year. Part-time students obtain the same credits- over a longer period of -time. Students are not encouraged to enrol in more than 15 credits each semester. Simon Fraser University operates on a semester system as does the College, while the University of B.C.. ~nd the University of Victoria operate on an eight-month academic year syS:f~m; therefore: 30 College credits l\.Vith the supernatural.

The origin of life from complex organic molecules far back in the earth's history, the laws which govern our "spaceship earth" and the origins of mankind are all part of the science of biology. The fascinating societies of termites, the physiology and structure of the giant forest trees and the intricacy of DNA are other topics of current interest in biology. At Northwest Community College we offer general courses on various relevant topics of biology and a basic laboratory biology course suitable as a first year course for majors in life sciences and as a lab science course for humanities or social science majors. Biology 205 (Ecology) and 206 (Genetics) are suitable as second year university biology. Allen S. Gottesfeld - B.A. Queens College, City University of New York, Biology; M.S.

(3, 3, 0) Chemistry Chemistry is for the curious and for the consumer, as well as those who need a science credit. It touches our lives continually, from the clothes we wear to the food we eat. It concerns itself (along with other sciences) with the nature of matter and the chemical changes it undergoes. This is important not only for the buyer asking how and from what the substance is made and what its properties are, but for the discarder who might ponder what will become of the throw away and how it will affect the environment. Chemistry consists of two courses at Northwest Community College. Firstly, there is an introductory course for those who never did it before or have forgotten much of what they did. (Students who would like an insight into the world of chemistry are especially welcome). Secondly, there is a university transferable course for those who seek credit at a first year level. Both courses include a generous amount of lab time. It is planned to offer second year courses in such high falutin areas as organic, physical, analytical or biochemistry, before the turn of the century. Government and public willing, that is.

Specifically, we aim at: The enjoyment of reading. Those who have not learned to read with enjoyment are deprived not only of one of life's greatest pleasures, but also of a strong bulwark against boredom and loneliness. George Stanley ~ B.A., M.A. (San Francisco State) Has taught at San Francisco State, Mercer University, and Northwest Community College. A published poet, who has also worked in journalism and publishing. Maureen Bostock . B.A., M.A. (University of Toronto) Born in 1951. Resident of northwest B.C. since 1976. Has been a full·time instructor at Northwest Community College for two years. Areas of interest include the literature of native peoples and women. Understanding through literature. Life presents us with problems: social, political, moral, emotional. Other men and women have had similar problems, and have put into words the record of their struggles and the particular solutions they found. The understanding to be gained from reading is particularly important in an era whose vision of reality and values are dominated by the fleeting and disconnected images of TV. Competence in the use of language. In writing, speaking and thinking, our competence with language is exercised actively. Language is like a horse in this respect. A horse will not respond if it is treated like a lump of inert matter, to be shoved, kicked, or dragged along the road. The writer is only frustrated when he or she treats language as a dead, unresponsive apparatus. The better the writer gets to know it, the more it will become his partner, or ally, in expressing what he has to say. Integrity. The writer gradually comes to a sense of what she or he particularly has to say, and no longer thinks it adequate just to reproduce the unexamined ideas of others. Emily Carr has put this notion of integrity into pungent language: Be careful that you do not write anything that is not your own, that you don't know in your own soul. You will have to experiment and try things out for yourself and you will not be sure of what you are doing. That's all right, you are feeling your way into the thing. But don't take what someone else has made sure of and pretend that it's you yourself that have made sure of it, till it's yours absolutely by conviction.

Similarities in the aspirations of all people become more evident as we examine the various patterns of communication, humanity's attempts to clearly transfer an idea from one mind to another. To the individual, knowledge of another language brings confidence and the ability to form Original Impressions of literature, political goals and social ideals, not impressions interpreted by others, analysed to suit popular tastes and dished out in the same old bowl. Direct communication facilitates a better understanding of the present pluralistic, yet interdependent world. Familiarity with another language system also increases awareness of the native tongue as an asset, its nuances and its vastness, leading the way to better personal ex· pression and a deeper appreciation of the vernacula:. French is the main language of 130 million people; over 5 million in Canada, Zl/2 million in the United States. It is an official language of many international organizations, including the United Nations, and is the first language of the European Common Market. In British Columbia it is presently the foreign language most in demand and most likely to be encountered. Elaine Fleischmann: B.A. Hons.

French 101-3: Introduct~JJry French I This is a beginning French course for College Students, which stresses the opportunity to communicate immediately. Texts used are based on natural everyday Fench and approximately equal emphasis is given to the four language skills; understanding, speaking, reading and writing. Though the French used is basic, reading content is gauged to interest mature students. Lecture sections are devoted to preparation and comprehension of conversations, articles etc., followed by practical application both in oral and written form. In the laboratory section extensive use is made of language tapes with particular emphasis on pronounciation and intonation and variety of listening exerpience. Tapes are accessible to students for individual listening and tutorial time is available by arrangement.

A corning together of events only once, that gives character to a place. Geographers are concerned with understanding why a place is the way it is - and how that place gains its character- and when did these characteristics come into being. Ian Anderson - B.A. (McMaster), M.A. (Simon Fraser) Our basic tool is the map. A map illustrates interaction over time and over space. It shows signs that contribute to the character of a place; and give possible clues as to the future. An understanding of geography hones your ap~ predation of environment. It helps one be aware of what is going on. And, it is an enjoyable experience in terms of learning. At Northwest Community College a variety of Geography courses are available. They are wide ranging as to content in order to encourage inquiry. All of the courses have university transferability. Lectures, field trips, readings and discussions constitute the core of all courses. There are n o pre-requisites for enrolment, other than an inquiring mind.

(3, 0, 0) History If History served only to provide us with information on what happened some time ago and to accumulate knowledge unrelated to our lives today, the pursuit of historical studies would be somewhat in the nature of a luxury and not a necessity. If it is to have any meaning at all, it must be seen primarily as a means for becoming aware of ourselves in the current socio·political en· vironment. Such a view underlines the need for a historical consciousness of the past as a necessary stage towards the present and also towards the realization of a better society in the future. History as a social science is the study of the past as a process of continuity and change with man in the centre acting on the basis of objective conditions but at the same time making his own history. We reject digging isolated tunnels into the past which are classified as diplomatic, economic or social history. Of what use are partial aspects when human behaviour is a total reality? It is one of the greatest challenges to find out what kind of questions should be asked to obtain meaningful ex· planations and to uncover realities behind appearances. We consequently attempt to integrate into the study of facts various theories and models about them and to focus attention on the interrelation of modes of production and structures of society, economic development, social classes and the nature of their relations as well as their impact on decision making. The courses are open to everybody and are designed to allow a maximum of discussion, questions and various forms of personal contributions.

Grouped under the titlde "Aboriginal Studies", the comses, seminars and non· credit workshops are designed to take a hard an realistic look at lifestyle, literature, history and politics in relation to the Native nations of the Northwest. Paul Sneed - Program Coordinator and Instructor of Anthropology The programs are guided by an advisory committee of Native Indian people representing the major tribal nations of the Northwest and the instructors in the program are well versed in Native matters. We see our primary commitment to the people and it is with this in mind that all our programs are designed. There are three main components in the Programs in Aboriginal Studies: Professional Studies Component This is a uniquely designed program of university and non-credit courses. Through a carefully selected list of readings, subjects, guest speakers and films, students take a thorough look at a whole host of topic areas such as history, human behaviour, government structures, land and resources, law, racial stereotypes, sexual stereotypes and political systems. Starting in 1980/1981, there will be two ways that people can participate in this program which is open to all mature adults -regardless of their previous educational experience. Students can attend full-time at the Terrace campus and select part or all of their courses from the Aboriginal Studies program offerings. Secondly, selected courses from the program -will be offered in outlying communities such as New Aiyansh and the Queen Charlotte Islands. Courses offered in past years have included Anthropology, English, Psychology, Environmental Studies and Political Science. Depending on the professional direction the student -wishes to pursue, future options may be available in Social Work, Law, Communications and other fields. Financial support is available through the Department of Indian Affairs, the Secretary of State and the First Citizen's Fund. Travelling , tutorial help and study skills training are available to students who lack confidence and I or proper study habits. 38 The following courses and workshops will be offered: Aboriginal Studies Courses (University Transfer) (See course description in tl:e appropriate section of the calendar) Anthropology 111-3 (Aboriginal Studies) Anthropology 112-3 (Aboriginal Studies) Biology 212-3 (Aboriginal Studies) English 101-3 (Aboriginal Studies) English 102-3 (Aboriginal Studies) Political Science 101-3 (Aboriginal Studies) Political Science 102-3 (Aboriginal Studies) Psychology 101-3 (Aboriginal Studies) Psychology 102-3 (Aboriginal Studies) Aboriginal Studies Courses (College Credit) Aboriginal Studies 151: Communications This course -will be a practical approach to the use of written and oral communication skills.Students will be given experience with various forms of media (e.g. newspaper, T.V., etc.) and communications technology. Aboriginal Studies 152: Communications This course is a continuation of Aboriginal Studies 151. Aboriginal People and the Land A seminar review for credit or non~credit, looking at the history of European contact and conflict with Aboriginal peoples in North America, with specific references to Canada and Northwest B.C. A variety of films and guest speakers will compare modern conditions and historical events from the Northwest Territories to Wounded Knee. In 1980/1981, this seminar may be used to discuss Law and Native Rights as interpreted by several experienced lawyers. For further information on co~rses, professional op· tions leading to higher university degrees, and academic requirements, please contact the Program Coordinator or Registrar at the College. Community Workshops In addition to the above programs, many workshops and seminars are organized through the program. These are held wherever people may want them and concern just about any issue involving Native people. 39 Women's Studies One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman. No biological, psychological or economic fate deter~ mines the figure that the human female presents in society; it is civilization as a whole that produces this creature, intermediate between male and eunuch, which is described as feminine. Simone de Beauvoir- The -"Second Sex Joanne Nakonechy ~ B.A. (U.B.C.) M.Sc. (Universite de Montreal) Women's Studies Coordinator for the past 2 years. Interested in political economic and psychological implications of the women's movement. Women's Studies are about women. Women who do and have done a variety of things from writing books to working in factories. Women's Studies does not exclude men but rather focuses on women and how they fit into society. Women's Studies deal with sexism and its effects on men and women. They provide a space where women and men can talk about sexism from an historic and current perspective. Women's Studies are for anybody who is interested in critically analyzing the question of 'female and male' in the society. Women's Studies Advisory Committee ('W.S.A.C.)
