Letter to the Editor, Home Movies are Sought. Where are all the movies that were made in the West Kootenuys in the 1930's and 1940's? Home movies, nature films, films of construction projects, parades, fires, sports, plenics, or other topics, in either eight or 16 millimeter. Over the past few years some such films have surfaced, and have been studied by students of local history at Selkirk College. Some have. been copied and deposited in the Archives, ‘These “amateur” films arc very important resources for students of local history, show- Ing much more than. still photographs can about fashion, customs, attitudes, and the face of communities. Iam very interested in locating more films and also in talking to photographers. Can anybody help?

Link is Proposed, B.C. Universities And Notre Dame Students may’ be able’ to attend classes at Nelson's No- tre Dame University and wind: up with degrees from one of three of B.C.’s public universi- ties. Education Minister Eileen Dailly has announced that the facilities will be used to provide programs through the Univer- sity of B.C., the University of Victoria or Simon Fraser Uni- versity. One or all of the universi- ties could be involved, she said. The decision means that degree completion programs will continue to. be offered on the Nelson campus. UBC geography professor Dr. Walter Hardwick has been delegated to negotiate with the universities to determine their degree of participation in the - proposed scheme. He will work with universi- ties council chairman William Armstrong to conduct the transition to the new .system for university service in the Nelson area. Area residents will also be asked to have some say in ihe change. “It may be that thoy they might want a special program, teacher education, to be iil: ated and maintained on the campus,” an education depart- ment spokesman sald. One of Dr. Hardwick's tasks will be to establish whether-the program will in- volve-only one of the three “major universities or whether it will be a joint effort, The switch to the new program is to be complete by July 1, 1976. The provincial government announced earlier this year it would buy the land and build- ings of Notre Dame and make a decision on the university's future by Jan. 1.
