Fe lewnching labs, ca double what we d,” sald OLI principal John Ellis. The Open Learning In- stitute was established by the B.C. ministry of edu- cation in June of 1978 to offer home-study courses to Brit- ish Columbians who can’t attend conventional institu- tions. “We were just amazed at the response," said Ellis. “We had to turn students away from our first-year psychol- ogy course and our fourth- year applied economics course because we couldn't handle the demand. But the courses will be offered again in January because our policy is that every British Colum- bian will have access to ed- ucational opportunities no matter what his cireumstanc- es or financial condition.” The institute must pro- vide forecasts of student en- rolment so budget requests to the provincial government can be justified. From the estimate of student enrol- ment the institute develops its staffing and accommo- dation plans and the size of print runs for course materi- als, reor, an courses as well as offering university and secondary school courses," ENROLMENT SURGE: Principal of the Open Learning Institute, seated, examines computer print-out of dt high -The university courses, will be increased from three to 17 and will include courses such as the Sociology’ of Deviance and Computing in a Modern Society.

But birds they are, and each summer humm- ” ingbirds return to the Koote- nays to dazzle and amaze us. Found only in the Amer- icas, hummingbirds are the~ world’s smallest birds, meas- uring only two and one- ‘quarter inches including tai} and bill. While small in size, their energy seems bound- less. Like little buzz bombs they dash from blossom to blbssom, feeding on the _. energy-rich nectar they hold. Their means of flight is ‘among the most fascinating ‘features of these little creat- ures, Putting our best helico- pters to shame, the humm- ingbird hovers, pivots on the spot, flies up, down, sideways or even upside down. The key to this incredible mobil- ity is the hummingbird's wings, which while beating twenty-five times per second can be turned and adjusted to achieve virtually any direct- ion of movement. The dazzling iridescent colors and spectacular flights of the male hummers may prove these little fellows to be dashing in courtship, but their domestic life ends there. After a brief romance, the male is off to relax among summer blossoms while the female begins work on the family. Her first chore is build- ing the nest. As the mother's tiny body barely produces enough heat to incubate the tiny pea-sized eggs, the nest must be well insulated. Soft lichens, fluff from floating seeds, and various other fine ials are bound spider webs to produce one of natures most delicate and practical homes. Three kinds of humming- birds visit the Kootenays each summer. While the females look much alike, the males are easily distinguish- ed. The male Rufous Humm- ingbird, the common hummer of gardens, is readily identif- ied by his overall red-orange color. Common on mountain slopes and alpine meadows, the tiny {smallest in North America) Calliope Humming- bird is recognized by the deep purple streaks under it chin which often seem to flash like a neon sign. The third Kootenay hummer, the Black-Chinned, is an uncommon bird of forest - and is together with strands of an recognized by its black chin. Many ways to assist refugees Members of the Trail steering committee for Indo- Chinese refugees welcomed their first arrivals for that city as seven of the 16 expected persons were met Friday at the Castlegar Air- port.
