Ingrid Yuill OUTREACH STUDENT APPRENTICE PROG RAM The program is designed to provide practical experience in community teaching situations for students interested in working as artist-teachers in the Outreach Program or in other community- oriented art programs after graduation. Students will receive a general orientation seminar as a group, plus orientation geared to specific workshops on an individual basis with the instructor whom the student will accompany as apprentice. Students will apprentice on six workshops in their medium in different B.C. Communities over a two-year period, including at least three workshops with their supervising instructor, who will write an evaluation at the end of the apprentice period. BACKGROUND The Student Apprentice Program developed out of a pilot program in 1978/9. Two students, Ellen Zeiss and Ingrid Yuill, and instructors Sally Michener, Darrel Hancock, John Tansley, Tam Irving, Jim Bruekelman, and Randy Bradley participated in the pilot program, offering workshops in Mackenzie and Keremeos in January. Students and instructors found the weekend workshops to be intense, concentrated teaching situations, in which artist-teachers are expected to convey techniques, aesthetics and the historical context as well as give practical demonstrations and supervise students’ practical work. Both students and artist-teachers recog- nized that the artist-teacher will have to be not only proficient in his/her medium but also in some measure able to counteract the isolation of communities by providing information on periodicals/ books and sources of materials/equipment and by offering some guidance to students for continuation of work in the medium after the workshop is concluded, including recommendations to the ECCA on follow-up Outreach programming in the community. The Student Apprentice Program will be designed to give students interested in Outreach teaching opportunities experience in handling all facets of the Weekend Workshop, as well as provid- ing them with the necessary background to operate effectively in other similar situations. HOW TO APPLY Up to 10 students in their third or fourth year at ECCA will be selected each spring for this program. Interested students should make a formal application, explaining why they are interested in working in community situations, with two letters of reference from ECCA instructors. Deadline for applications for Fall 1979 is April 20, 1979. —Nini Baird S$SSESSSESSESSSSSSSSSSS Si: Uy Me BR J 0O8 5S Come to a workshop / talk on: - defining and labling marketable skills - where to look for jobs - how to improve your chances of being hired April 5, Thurs. - 12:00 noon in the Green Room Dunsmuir Street.

After Tom Kowall’s carrot tossing act I thought no one, simply no one could top that. It seems I sadly under estimated the administra- tion, for not only does it seem Eva can toss carrots, but doing Tom Kowall one better she can probably juggle them as well. The topper to her work of art is the border along the top of the announcement, filled with typed dollar signs. A work of art. Groucho Marx would have loved it for its entertainment value, even Seymour Clearly loved it. —Seymour Attention: Editors of ‘X’ I am writing in response to a comment made by “a very fortunate artist’ in the last issue of ‘X’. First, I find it unethical on the part of the editors of ‘X’ to allow letters to be published under pseydonyms. This is quite rightly not a part of standard journalistic practice. Secondly, I vehemently disagree with the author’s comment that “there is nothing wrong with the work done in the washrooms on the 5th floor at Water Street. I beg to differ with the use of the word ‘‘work” to des- cribe the vandalism perpetrated on the washrooms. Personally I find it very depressing and at the same time infuriating. I am not sure of the motivation of the per- son(s) responsible for the act, but I have my suspicions. I imagine the person to be frustrated and angry with a sense of powerlessness sufficient to disallow a more acceptable outlet. There seems to be two (at least) classically unhealthy means by which students at ECCA vent their frustration. One way is to personalize it to the point of self-contempt; the other way is to rip-off or damage public or private property. I’d like to suggest, in all honesty, that this person either confront his/her frustrations and the people or institutions responsible or seek professional help. I don’t think that there can be any question that this mess has any semblance of art, but if that rationale was raised, it would be virtually impossible to support. The final clincher, “It’s just paint,” is ludicrous. Could our legacy of paintings, a prime factor in forming our fine art heritage, so easily be dismissed? —Franda Wargo We wrote back as soon as possible. How are you? Hope the weather is fine. We were most pleased to see that you are getting involved with things around the school. We read your letter to the editors and thought your views valid, going to the heart of the issues. It was nice of you to put your name after your letter but it really wasn’t necessary. As always we feel that what you (or anyone) have to say is important with or without your name, What are ethics? what use are they? —Love, co-editors P.S. Whoever said ‘X’ wanted to conform to journalistic practice ?’’ Where do they come from?
