Pape B4 — Terrace Standard, Wednesday, September 26, 1990

Smaller size is big draw

the attractive physical, setting, -

' Evening classes at Nor-
thwest Community College
are now in full swing. Conti-
muing the series which began
fast week with anthropology
instructor Shannon Mark,
three more instructors are
Profiled below.

New to the college this year is
Sid Nair who is teaching
Chemistry 101 (general) and 121
(advanced) courses this fall
before adding Math 190, part of
the Simon Fraser University
teacher training program, next
semester,

Born and raised in Singapore,
Nair’s post-secondary studies
‘were pursued in Ontario
culminating in a masters in
chemical engineering at Queen's
University,

From there it was back to
Singapore to work in research
and development with Nestles
and then on to Australia for 18

‘months. His globetrotting
brought him back to Canada
two months ago,

Asked why he chose NWCC,
Nair recalls he was an

Alberta

qe

'* Tirso Morales
undergraduate at a small
university and likes the advan-
tages offered by that type of in-
Stitution. ‘‘There’s a closer rela-
tionship between the instructor

and the student,’’ he explains.

Its location was also attrac-
live, he adds, citing the scenery
and, in particular, the surroun-
ding mountains.

His sentiments are echoed by
another newcomer to the nor-
thwest, Steve Francom, who
says the closer contact with

students makes for more effec-

‘tive teaching. He has moved

here after three years teaching
in an Ontario college. “J enjoy
travelling and living in new
places,’’ he says.

Although he hasn’t Teally
been here long enough to get to
know the place properly, Fran-
com says his first impressions
are of a small but friendly com-
munity and a beautiful, if
isolated, setting.

Apart from NWCC’s size and

Ballet comes to Terrace next
Monday when the 18 member
Alberta Ballet company per-
forms at the R.E.M. Lee
Theatre.

Under the artistic direction of
Ali Pourfarrokh, the Alberta
Ballet pursues an innovative
and theatrical approach, As a
choreographer Pourfarrokh
prefers the contemporary idiom
ranging from neo-classical to
modern and jazz. His stagings
of classical works include most
of those from the standard
classic ballet repertoire.

Having its roots in the forma-
tion in 1954 of a small troupe of
amateur dancers known as
Dance Interlude, the’ name
Alberta Ballet was adopted in
1966.

Since then the company has

Ballet to perform

_ grown in both size and statiiré.
In 1988 the company gave-its -

premier performance of The
Snow Maiden at the Winter
Olympics Arts Festival, That
was also the year Pourfarrokh
became artistic director.

The Terrace performance ‘is
part of a national tour taking in
communities from Ottawa to
Victoria. It takes place Mon-
day, Oct. 1 at the R.E.M. Lee
Theatre beginning at 8 p.m.
Tickets are $18 for adults, $12
for students/seniors and are
available from Erwin’s Jewelers
and Kermodei Trading.

an important factor in his deci-
sion to come here was it offered
the chance to teach literature
again. He also instructs a
technical writing course for
students involved in other pro-
grams such as Early Childhood
Education. .

This is Tirso Morales’ second
year at NWCC but the change
for hi isin the subject matter of
his course. Last year he taught
Spanish and admits he will miss
that this time around, However,
he looks forward to teaching hig
new course — Introduction to
Psychology. ;

“It speaks -personally about
you,” he says, adding the
course also opens the door to
further studies,

Holder of a Science masters
degree from the University of
Wisconsin, Morales has worked
as an advertising copy writer, in
the media and with Northern
Native Broadcasting.

He says his main interest is
“Shuman communication and
inter- and multi-cultural com-
munication,” ‘
