que paths to achieve their goal of a

family, these students have com-
pleted their degrees in terms as long
as 47 years, and from as far away as
the Northwest Territories. •

learner -centred programs at times
and places convenient for part-time

their impressive scholastic

neighbours, friends).
Rick and Judy are experienced per-
formers who have appeared in folk
festivals, theatres, schools, libraries
and -clubs in Canada, Britain,

. vignettes of family life that adults will
enjoy listening to and singing as much
as children. They will provide a fun-
packed concert of songs and -audience
participation for both young and old!
"One mature student. who had had
a series of personal and family pro-
blems before entering University
found his studies in University chang-
ed his life:- He said 'if you want to •
make a better world, make.a better
you.'
"Each part-time student has an in- -
spiring, interesting and unique story
to bring to light. The University is
richer, indeed by the experience and
commitment these students bring to
• their pursuit of educational
challenges." -
