r, Douglas Jardine is a
man on the run.

The 54-year-old

Capilano College presi-

dent is constantly moving from
one meeting to the next.

When he is not busy taking care
of college business, Jardine will
likely be found taking care of
business in his home community
of Sechelt, where he sits on a
number of community boards.

So it is little wonder that one of
the few opportunities Jardine has
to return phone calls, as in the
case when the News left a
message asking for an interview, is
via his car phone — when, you
guessed it, he is travelling between
meetings.

Jardine was appointed president
of Capilano College on Feb. 19,
1986. He originally came to the
North Vancouver college in July
1972 as dean of academic studies.

Born in 1936 in what was then
known as British Guiana, but is
now known as Guyana, Jardine
came to Canada in 1959 after
studying in England.

“T was an incorrigible child.
My parents shipped me off to
boarding school,’’ Jardine says
with a smite and a laugh.

The first Canadian city he settled
in was Toronto, where he received
an engineering degree from the
University of Toronto.

Jardine then went to work as a
research engineer for Alcan in Ar-
vida, Quebec.

in 1970 he earned his doctorate
degree in physical chemistry from
the University of Calgary, a time
he remembers as being particulary
tough because he also had to
support a wife and children.

“While | was a student ait the
University of Calgary | ran out of
money. I then got a job teaching at
Mount Royal Community College
(in Calgary), while at the same
time still going to school,’’ said
Jardine.

“Those were heavy times. |
would get home at 6 p.m. and
have dinner with my family and
then go to my research work and
I'd get home at around 1 a.m. and
then it would be back up in the
morning.”

Jardine and his wife Peggy have
three sons, two of whom work for
a small Vancouver concrete com-
pany and the other who works for
a software development company
in Toronto.

Because he lives in Sechelt, Jar-
dine gets up at 5 a.m. in order to
commute to North Vancouver. But

‘WHAT’S IN YOUR NAME?

The quality of your life is in your name

Your name creates the way you think and therefore all your life's ex-
periences. When you change your name, you will think differently and your
quality of life will improve in all ways as long as you have the right name.
It is vitally important that we give you a name that has balanced
characteristics and is suited to your inner nature that is indicated by your
birthdate. The wrong name can be disastrous!

Do you know a CAROLINE or JOANNE?

It is an injustice to give a person a name so emotionally scattering as
each of these. They do not have a strong sense of respcnsibility and get
panicky if tied down and not iree to do as they please. These people are
too emotional. often involved in affairs, never settled. never satisfied. find
it hard to finish what they start. Their unstable nature and tendency to be
indulgent bring them many bitter experiences.

They usually create a fine impression at first, and ii in a happy mood,
can be quite charming and you can't help but like them. They are vivacious,
artistic, and creative, but unless they receive very strong discipline early
in tife, their love of constant activity combined with impulsiveness will bring
extreme disappointments in association.

if they are riled, they are sharp with the tongue, sarcastic, and atgumen-
tative. They have very good sales and promotional ability. However, then
tendency for party-going, indulgence, and a gambling spirit undermines thew
success. They are likely to suffer with nervous indigestion and tension af-
fecting the solar plexus.

here are prominent people with the name CAROLINE and the foregoing
gives us the understanding of why they have such bitter experiences. A
change of name, which also must be balanced with a harme. uous surname,
can dramatically change one’s nature and create stability, r2liabuity, retaxa-
tion, and peace of mind.

some nights his work commit-
ments force him to stay on the
mainland, where Jardine says he
spends an average of 10 to 12
nights a month,

Jardine says his days are pretty
routine. On the day of his Af-
fluence and influence interview,
he had a breakfast meeting with
the college board chairman and a
luncheon meeting with the North
Vancouver Chamber of Commerce
regarding the education ministry's
Education 2000 report.

Following that was a meeting
with an artist and curator on a
plan by the college to host an ex-
hibit in computer art.

another studying community

volved in business development.
In addition, Jardine is the
chairman of a sub-committee of
the B.C. Council of Principals,
which is examining the state of
formula funding in B.C. He also
chairs a joint committee on fund-
ing with the education ministry.

appointments, some might think

Whether he does or does not

“The faculty will tell me | don’t
do it often enough. But once a
month there is a gourmet coffee
session on campus which is hosted
by me and I’m open to ques-
tions,” said Jardine.

“Also once a month | invite
half a dozen faculty, employees
and sometimes students to meet
with me over a sandwich, and if I
don’t have an answer to a par-
ticular question I'll make sure | get
the information.”

Jardine also makes a point of
visiting each high school in the
college region once a year.
