SCHOOL OF TRADES TRAINING PHILOSOPHY OF MANAGEMENT

• We are committed to training the workforce of British Columbia in support of the mandate of BCIT.

• We will strive for flexibility in responding to industry's chang­ing requirements.

• We are committed to providing for the faculty and support staff, an environment in which positive attitudes are developed towards meeting the mission statement of the School of Trades Training.

• We will recognize the value and contribution of employees in the School of Trades Training.

• We are accountable for what happens in the School of Trades Training.

• We will be consistent in our approach to people and in the application of Institute policies and procedures.

• We will communicate effectively with the Institute community.

O ver the past few months the School of Trades Trai n i ng has been

working behind the scenes to solidify its presence and purpose at BCIT.

The first step was to secure a loca­tion which would give the School a clear identity and a common focal point for its administrative activities. That location, on the third floor of the Inglis Building in the office area iden­tified as 307, has allowed all members of the School's management team, together with support staff, to move in together.

Concentrating all the School's resources into one area has improved accessibil ity for trades instructors and staff working on the north campus. Acting dean, Len McNeely, hopes this will translate into better communica­tion, one of the key objectives in a Philosophy of Management statement recently endorsed by the chief instructors.

Along with the Philosophy of Man­agement, the management team has also developed a mission for the School which ref lects BCIT's new mandate. "After much discussion, it was agreed that the greatest strength of the School of Trades Training as it stands today, is its effectiveness at

providing individuals with job spe­cific skills to meet the changing needs of industry," says McNeely. "Our mis­sion, therefore, is as follows:

"To provide high quality technical training and education through innovative and flexible approaches, in support of technology transfer and applied research, for British Columbia's business and industry."

Part-time Studies With the assistance of Marv Woolley

of the School of Engineering Tech­nology, all trades part-time studies are being phased into the School of Trades Training. The associate deans will have overall responsibility while the actual administration will be car­ried out by a team of people working within the School.

Construction Trades Associate dean of Construction, Jack

Scarfe, has now retired and his areas of responsibility have been absorbed by the four remaining associate deans.

Representation on Educational Council

Monthly committee meetings of the chief instructors have commenced

and it is hoped that this committee will also represent the school on the Institute's Educationa l Council. A draft proposal, cu rrently circulating among the chief instructors, wi ll be reviewed at their next meeting prior to recom­mendations being made to the V.P. Education. If accepted, th is commit­tee w il l p laya major role in establish­ing and strengthening ties with the technology programs.

Budget Along with these activities, the

management team has been working dil igently to provide accurate expen­diture projections into Finance's new computerized budget system, to priorit ize capital needs, and to build strong improved re lationships with the support groups.

WUSC STUDENT SEEKS FURNITURE

Assefash GereMariam, the refugee student being sponsored by BCIT's local WUSC Committee, is hoping to move from the campus residences into private accommodation. She is looking for reasonably priced furni­ture or donations of furniture to help her accomplish this aim. If you can help, please contact Donna Hooker in International Education (local 8842).

LIBRARY NEEDS PAPERBACK BOOKS

If anybody has any paperbacks they would like to donate, the Library would be delighted to receive them. According to Library co-ordinator, Tony O'Kelly, there is a real demand for this kin d of reading material. Donations should be dropped off at the circulation desk.

SECURITY OFFICERS FOIL COMPUTER THIEF

Congratulations to BCIT's fast thinking security staff for foiling two recent robbery attempts on campus.

According to Safety and Security manager, Neal Chadwick, the first incident took place during the early morning hours of October 16 and involved security officers Wayne Boudreau, Tony Miller, Burleigh Mur­ray and Chester Carpenter intercept­ing the theft of personal computers from Room 340, Building 1 A. Although seen by Boudreau, the culprit disap­peared and a search of the buildng failed to locate him. On that occasion, all the equipment removed from Laboratory 340 was recovered, thanks to the prompt action of th e security officers.

On Friday, October 22 security officers Chester Carpenter and Tom Kazakoff intercepted a similar robbery by the same person, this time in room 309, building 1A. The officers were able to recover two of three compu­ters that were stolen.

While RCMP continued their inves­tigations into those two robberies, a thief struck again on Monday, October 31, taking three computers from room 303 in building 2N.

Neal Chadwick says this rash of thefts is very serious and points to a lack of security measures being taken to protect computer equipment . "We are looking at ways of addressing this problem and meanwhile are circulat­ing warnings to al l campus person­nel," he says.

UPDATE CHRISTMAS

COLUMN.~

Here's an unusual Christmas gift suggestion from Forest Resource instructor Mark Angelo.

For just $25 you can buy your rela­tive or friend two acres of tropical rainforest in Mayan America - a gift that comes in the form of a certificate appointing the owner a Guardian of the Rainforest.

"The world's rainforests are vanish­ing at an alarming rate and this is one really tangible and satisfying oppor­tunity to halt that destruction," says Mark.

The loss of tropical forests is con­tributing to the greenhouse effect (heating of the planet) and is destroy­ing hundreds of species of wildlife and plants.

As a result of donations from nearly 10,000 Canadians, the World Wildlife Fund has gone beyond its goal of purchasing 10,000 acres to purchas­ing 30,000 acres of river valley land in Costa Rica known as the Montiverde Cloud Forest. Similar projects are underway.

For more information on how to become a Guardian of the Rainforest, write: Suzanne Ivey, World Wildlife Fund, 60 St. Clair Avenue E., Suite 201, Toronto, Ontario, M4T 1 N5. Telephone: (416) 923-8173.
