Coshews Photo by Ryan Wilon Canucks eye Denver University winger VANCOUVER (CP) — Vancouver Canucks would like to sign a late-blooming United States college free agent who lives on the West Coast in the offseason. Dwight Mathiasen — des- tined to be the Ray Staszak of 1986, which means he will become instantly wealthy — calls himself as “a homebody” and his home is Campbell River on Vancouver Island. “Td like to play for the Canucks, to be close to home, but I'll have to wait and see what happens,” the Univer sity of Denver right winger said this week. Mathiasen has blossomed into this year’s most coveted college free agent, following in the footsteps of Staszak and Adam Oates, who both League contracts last sum. mer for mega-bucks with De- troit Red Wings. “The money doesn't really matter to me that much,” said Mathiasen. “T'll play for the team that gives me sec- urity and shows the most in- terest and confidence in me. “The money and tax situ ations, with the way the Canadian dollar is, favors American teams. But what I want most is the opportunity to play in the NHL.” Mathiasen, 21, has been rated by most NHL teams, ineluding the Canucks, as the best prospect available among college players who were overlooked the two years they were eligible to be drafted.

New England tops the American Football Confer ence with eight representa tives. “It's a fun game,” triots running back James. “But I'd like to win. The Bears’ delegation in- cludes Walter Payton, the NFL's all-time leading career rusher and Pro Bow! most valuable player in 1978, color. ful and controversial quar- terback Jim McMahon, cen tre Jay Hilgenberg and tac- kle Jim Covert. Representing Chicago's awesome defence are ei Richard Dent, the Super Bowl MVP, linebackers Mike Singletary and Otis Wilson, safety Dave Duerson and end Dan Hampton. The Patriot players, in addition to James, are John Hannah, wide receiver- kick returner Irving Fryar and tackle Brian Holloway from the offence, and line- backers Andre Tippett and Steve Nelson, cor! Raymond Clayborn and safe- ty Fred Marion from the de- fence. ‘The game is set for a 1 p.m. PST kickoff. ‘The normally-quiet week leading to the Pro Bow! was shattered by a drug scandal involving the Patriots. The team had voted last Monday to undergo voluntary drug testing, then names of play- ers who are alleged to have used drugs surfaced — in- cluding Clayborn and Fryar. While the Super Bowl teams are heavily represent- ed, the opposing Pro Bowl teams are coached by men whose own clubs fell victim to the Bears and Patriots during the NFL playoffs. Don Shula, whose Miami nd Dolphins were knocked out of the playoffs by the Patriots, is the AFC coach. The NFC coach is John Robinson, whose Los Angeles Rams lost to the Bears.

The brochure described it as being of interest to as well as would-be trade of the public on a limited basis. ‘As a greying member of the latter group, | managed ih ding to write the ri the seniors. The idea fell down on two fronts. On one, split columns, the my time schedule completely out of the 3 Secondly, I have a problem — I never feel any older, or younger, than the company I am pr ly i with. Different, yes, but never older or younger. This condition was brought home sharply to me about three weeks ago when I went to Nelson to read toa group of writers (all retirees). After I had done my bit, one of their members, a former policeman in South Africa, read a story on which he was working. The quality of the writing would not have displeased Kipling, and the evaluation of the rest of the group was of equal quality. The only thing that soothed and resuscitated my battered ego was the report that this gentleman had not only just received second place in the CBC writing competition and had placed first and second in the two previous years, but had had several of his stories published by Atlantic Monthly magazine. That is different. The common factor was the fact that we had both taken writing courses from the same Selkirk teachers, proof that the college is reaching out into the community to touch the lives of people across the spectrum of age and cultures to act as both a catalyst and leader in the broader aspects of culture, education and recreational activities for a fuller life in the region. In the cost account and spirit of these present times which knows the price of everything and the value of nothing, whose unit of measure is the (sinking) dollar and which fosters a spirit of gloom and self-concern, there is strong tendency to lose sight of the real riches which lie all about us in the form of an almost unlimited environment for recreation, talented people and a rich culture and heritage. It was my understanding, 20 years ago, that the college, as a community college was to be a kind of axe head — consolidating and welding the talents, interests § and drives of the community in the main body of the © instrument while providing the cutting edge of a saleable a Pp skill for those who needed it. i The recent book publishing seminar by the college considered — typography, the art of designing type to fit the text, illustration, pasteup, pr ‘ion, promo tion, marketing, sub-rights, sales and more. The college offers a basic core weeks and a one-year program in tion. The seminar was the icing on the cake, the kind of real-world which any good instructional program at any level should offer to its students. Besides college instructors Ron W d. ie P Program of the Graphics Communications Department, and Fred Wah, author and Applied Writing instructor, the seminar featured Julian Ross, publisher of the Polestar Press, Robert Bringhurst, poet, editor and bookdesigner, Kar! Siegler, editor of Talonbooks, Carol Dahlstrom, editor for the University of Manitoba Press and Scott McIntyre of Douglasn and Mcintyre Publishing lad Robert Bringhurst spoke of publishing as “an art which has not been much studied in this country,” but his lecture on the history of publishing was worth the price of the seminar alone To hear that “a letter is a picture that has taken-on meaning” is to give an entirely new meaning to the art of writing, and to learn that the rectangular shape of pages of books traces back to the shape of a peeled section of the bark of a tree gives new perspectives to the commonplace In spite of stories to the contrary, Scott MelIntyre said that on a per capita basis, Canada is one of the largest publishers of new titles in the western world and that Canadians are among the world’s largest consumers of books. Nonetheless, he felt that more books about our history and heritage were essential to our national identity: “If we ever had a crying need to know where we come from and to tell it with convietion — that time is now,” he said. “If you haven't got the faith to believe in the place that you come from, you don't deserve to have it.” I like that kind of talk; the college is doing its job. In the meanwhile, if you missed that goodie, there is another coming up. Craig Andrews of the Gontinuing Education Department at the college is featuring @ seminar called “Poing Local History — A Teleconfer ence.” It features a voice communication among the electronic publishing instructor groups participating in this case Castlegar, Grand Forks, Fort Steele,Nakusp, and Nanaimo and takes place simultaneously at these five centres. The panel of speakers includes: Barry Broadfoot, author, The Pioneer Years 1895-1914; Six War Years; Ten Lost Years; Years of Sorrow, Years of Shame; Veterans’ Years.
