* N Dearest Chrissy». Fase ~.. Corky here, back from Zza Zza’s just in the nick of time to catch the November fashion line-up of the EC- CAD Board of Trustees. ‘Blue and Grey were in abundance with only two brave fashion iconoclasts brazen enough not to follow the fashion lead set by Chairman Shumka. These two fashion suicides obviously have not got the latest information on the impor- tance of fashion conformity in these changing times. Not wanting to be catty, but isn’t November just a tad too late in the season to be wearing a white blazer. Perhaps, as a little bird told me, someone just came back from Palm Springs, for reasons that are beyond this journalist's sense of propriety and libel insurance. A nice summery touch,yes, but not when matched with a brown striped faux silk blouse ( read ester, poly ) a dark grey skirt and lemon custard shoes. The combination made this fashion writer almost loose ~ that eggplant mausaka | foolishly ingested in the formerly trendy, but now just dowdy Cafe Emily. President Barkley captured the attention of the entire press corps in attendance with his timeless and eloquent Report to the Board. Our President mixed humour with hard reality, fact with fiction and his favourite blue striped shirt with white colour and a tasty eggplant mausaka spotted raw silk tie. It’s refreshing to see someone higher than thee having a similar joie- de-vivre-s’en-faire-rien attitude when it comes to eatin’ and drinkin’. The report to the Board was sparse, yet fulfilling as President Barkley briefly mentioned such exciting news as another Design self study, a library study, a Art History curriculum study, and to the delight of the fashionable members of the Board, the College has hired none other than Mr Karl Lagerfeld to the tune of 330,000 dollars to choose a new colour of carpet for soon to be expanded reception area. A little bird told me, that not only will KL personally choose the colour, but another little bird told me at a recent West Van society tea that none other than what’s her name, you know that French actress with the attitude who represents Chanel, will be doing the job of laying the rug here at ECCAD. President Barkley showed us his dark side ( and flashed a pair of divine gold and diamond skull shaped cuff links )when he suggested that the Ceramics department should take over the registration process, because they had done such an excellent job of organization of the recent cup sale. Everyone present took these bon mots of President Barkley with good humour, but then a definite chill filled the air when President Barkley, in a low and serious tone added these words....” As long as the students are dipped first “. | could see the headlines flash by “ Barkley wants us dead “. Can you imagine the horror, the terror of 732 innocent young adults being drowned in slip ! The screams! the anguish! the mess ! A little bird tells me that this is the similar plan last used by none other than Pol Pot ! Is this the end of us all ! | pray that President Barkley will come to his senses and realize that the Pro- vincial government will only fund FTE’s to a school with living full time students.

How much, | don’t know, but a little bird told me that one of the condi- tions for ECCAD students getting more moola, will be the elimination of black from our wardrobes. Will we all be- come nudists then? An art student without black is like a Monday without spinach lasagna in an environmentally damaging styrofoam container. Not to worry as the BC Government has tons of old EXPO uniforms just waiting to wrap around our young and nubile, and undernourished bodies. A little bird told me that each department will receive a different EXPO colour, with Design getting special 24 Carat gold lame jumpsuits with Fuschia blouses and lemon custard booties.
