With the assistance of an expert tutor or instructor, you can leam through print, television, video-tape, audio- tape, or computer. What's more, you can accumulate credits for all your post-secondary education in the B.C.

restaurant meals and brunches, professional services and more will be auctioned by a profes- sional auctioneer, beginning at 8 p.m. in the fitness room. An early. bird door prize, to encourage would-be bidders to ins; items for the bidding and Silent Auc- tion, will be presented between 7:30 and 8 p.m.

Art jones, who presided over the iast two auctions, will again be Master of Ceremonies.
