Touch-screen saves paper chase

A new software program developed by the Office of the Registrar enables students to get the information they need directly and quickly. For example, independent student and rookie Stingers football player Mike Barbier (right) is looking for courses in criminology. Siddharth Kashyap, a student who works part-time in the Birks Student Services Centre (not pictured here), tells Mike to print out information on courses offered by the Department of Sociology and Anthropology. The screen-and-printer combination can be found in several strategic places, including the reception area of the Office of the Registrar, on the seventh floor of the J.W. McConnell library complex. Registrar Lynne Prendergast (far left) said the program will also be a boon to her staff. "Instead of taking 150 sheets of paper to an education fair and running the risk of running out of information on a popular program, we can just take the computer."

Bring "lost" alumni back into the fold - and win a trip

A cross-Canada trip for two could be yours if you can supply some missing alumni addresses in time ... to enjoy our year of 25th anniversary activities.

The trip will be on VIA's flagship train, The Canadian, and the prize will also include several nights at a top Vancouver hotel and car rental while in B.C.

All you have to do is help the Alumni Office locate some missing members of the Concordia family. For every three addresses you supply, you'll earn a chance in the draw, to be held at Homecoming 2000.

This month, a complete listing of the missing graduates, a form for missing addresses, and a detailed description of the trip will be posted on the Alumni Affairs Web site, http://alumni.concordia.ca/alumweb CONCORDIA FOOTBALL PLAYER WAYNE DUNN
