So what’s happening at 3rd and Pine, the new home for the Design department? Not much if you ask any senior design student. Since September, the shock of settling into a new facility has gradually eroded away. However, most students here still feel iso- lated from the main mother campus. But beyond that, and a few other unpleasan- tries, most of us have acclimatized to the new location. Perhaps one of the most redeeming quali- ties of the new studio is its proximity to Mr. B’s, a 24 hour chicken palace that is a mutant hybrid of 7-11 and Kentucky Fried Chicken. You haven't tried chicken any- where in Vancouver until you try Mr. B’s cajun styled chicken and fries. It’s hot and spicy and as deep south as you can get without having to rent a 4x4 pick-up truck CHICKEN ROUND-UP FROM with a road map of Surrey. In addition to filling up at Mr. B’s, there’s a new Cadillac photocopying machine at the studio. It’s an innovation in technology as it performs a variety of functions useful for the designer. It distorts, mirrors, condenses, italicizes, reduces images down to 35%, enlarges up to 800% and even makes copies from colour slides and negatives. But at a premium cost of 15 cents per copy the technology can become quite costly. The last noteworthy item.related to design is Design Week commencing February 12. A series of lectures by prominent designers and design commentators, exhibits, work- shops, and displays will occur at various locations throughout Vancouver. Beginning February 12, 7:30pm in room 260, Women in Design author Liz McQuiston will give a. jJecture on the contemporary design issues women in the 90s will face. On February 14, noted urbanologist Marshall Berman will give a talk on the plight of urban design in the city. Again, this lecture begins at 7:30pm in room 260 at the college. Capping off the week, February 16, a graphic de- signer-educator Ken Baynes will give an information lecture on design education in public schools. This Jecture will be held at the Roundhouse, the focal point of Design -Week, at the former Expo site at 7:30pm. Furthermore, student work from our own design department will be on display at the . Bank of Hong Kong building downtown beginning February 1 and running through till the end of Design Week. Enjoy. Kevin Louis 3rd & PINE COMPUTER Dec. 13 was the last meeting of the year for the Computer Studies Sub-Committee. Present were K. Chamberlain [chair], |. Spalding, J. Leese, R. Balabuck, R. Barron, G. Lee Nova, M. Agrios, and L. Frolek. The agenda included a discussion of the plans to add to the equipment at the Third and Pine building. The Capital Equipment Proposal included requests for hardware up-grading. ie Video signal monitoring equipment 2. Color Mac II with multi-media capa- bilities. The discussion of the committee included the type of equipment that would best suit the needs of the stu- dents. The question of which program TOPS or MACJANET or both should be used was discussed. There was a request for two Atari’s and an Amiga for the stu- dents at Pine and Third to use. The desire is to give the ECD students an opportunity to use all types of computers. Also an exchange of Ron and Jeff, the two techical assistants, at the two locations was requested by the Third and Pine staff. They would also like Michael Agrios to spend some time there. | asked what we students could expect in terms of having one campus again. Ken Chamberlain responded that he had just received notifica- tion that the government is considering funding. So not likely in our student life time. | asked AGAIN about the request for more memory for the Ataris. | was this time told the request needs to be endorsed by division head lan Wallace. Students wanting to help the situation talk to lan or the Media Faculty. Include why and how it’s related to the needs of the students and any other info. Students have also mentioned the need of disk re-alignment before all the Atari’s die. So this should also be included in the request. The financial commitee meets in late April or early May. There’s a big animation happening Feb. 7 at the school (Faculty Lounge) It’s a Siggraph meeting [Special Interest Group for Computer Graphics] which is the organization that hosts in the US each year the equivalent of the Academy Awards in animation. A local chapter has started in Vancouver. They have made it open to serious minded computer graphic and especially animation students. So any ECCAD students wanting to show your animation - film or computer work, please see Dennis Vance. It’s an opportunity to connect with future colleages and job possibilities plus see some great work. There’s a magazine in the library call LEONARDO. It’s the THE JOURNAL of the INTERNA- TIONAL SOCIETY for the ARTS and SCIENCES and TECHNOLOGY. The last issue includes ACM Siggraph 89. Check it out. Be sure and come to the weekly ECCAD animation club meetings. They are every Monday in the Faculty Lounge. Bring lunch and even popcorn. Any students wanting to see the minutes of the Computer Studies sub-committee meeting, see me. We need more students at the Computer — Studies meetings - especially from ECD and Graphic Design. It’s the Third Thurs. of each month. STUDIES A friend recently had a fire losing computer and uncopied disks, etc. | reminded myself and will pass it on. Store copies of your computer disks in a metal filing cabinet or in another location. Just in case. Computer Studies Sub-Committee meeting Jan. 18,1990 Attending: J. Leese, R. Bidwell, L. Frolek, G. Lee Nova, M. Agrios, |. Spalding, K. Chamberlain [chair], R. Barron, R. Balabuck. Dennis Vance has been invited to attend an Auto Desk training session in California for animation on the IBM’s. ECD supports this and would like to take re- sponsibility for the software in relation to the college. ECD would like a technical assistant to go along with Dennis. ‘A-capital equipment counter proposal was presented by Ron Barron as a possible alternative solution to the equipment needs at Third and Pine. After a lengthy discussion and review of the initial proposal as presented by Jeff Leese at the Dec. meeting, it was decided that it was important to have an understanding of the overall needs of both the ECD students and those of Graphic Design. It was requested that Ron and Jeff present a plan at the next meeting. It is hoped that the related faculty members will have an opportunity to review this before- “hand. Isabel Spalding asked for suggestions re: a computer instructor for a summer course on the Mac’s.
