to.turn summer employment into a life-<br />
time of experience. -.<br />
Canadian students can apply for<br />
this overseas working holiday in Bri-<br />
tain, Irel<strong>and</strong>, New Zeal<strong>and</strong>, Australia<br />
<strong>and</strong> now Japan.<br />
Along with gaining invaluable<br />
work experience, students get a chance<br />
to explore the host country which gives<br />
a student the opportunity to leam about<br />
the country <strong>and</strong> its culture first-h<strong>and</strong>.<br />
Students are working, not just visi-<br />
ting, so their travel budget is extended<br />
<strong>and</strong> the student can stay longer.<br />
Past participants agree that using<br />
their SWAP experience on resumes gi-<br />
ves them an advantage over other stu-<br />
dents.<br />
Host countries provide advice, job<br />
assistance, placement (except Irel<strong>and</strong>)<br />
<strong>and</strong> assist with accommodation.<br />

ble for British <strong>and</strong> Irish programmes<br />

ments between the governments of Ca-<br />
nada <strong>and</strong> the host countries <strong>and</strong> stu-<br />
dents are chosen according to quotas of<br />

Familiar Campbell soup labels<br />
the trademark of Andy Warhol<br />
The death of pop artist<br />
Andy Warhol has sparked<br />
some commments. from<br />
the staff <strong>and</strong> students of<br />
the Graphic Arts division.<br />
David Chesterton, teacher<br />
of Color, Layout <strong>and</strong> De-<br />
sign, had these words to<br />
say:<br />
"He will be missed. He<br />
poked fun at the design<br />
establishment <strong>and</strong> he did<br />
it in an interesting way."<br />
Andy Warhol himself<br />
would have considered it<br />
quite amusing that when<br />
he had to go, it was on the<br />
basis of a gall bladder, not<br />
something gr<strong>and</strong>iose like<br />
cancer."<br />
Warhol was undergoing<br />
gall bladder surgery at<br />
New York Hospital-Cor-<br />
<strong>ne</strong>ll Medical Centre.<br />
Second year graphic arts<br />
student Andrew Hunter<br />
said that his death was<br />
"pretty sad. He was a good<br />
artist, especially in the<br />
early sixties. I liked the di-<br />
versity of his work."<br />
First year graphic arts<br />
student Craig Sgencer<br />
said that WarhoFs "death<br />
was a great loss to the art<br />
world.<br />
Warhol is best known for<br />
his monolithic silkscreens<br />
of such subjects as amp-<br />
bells Tomato Soup cans<br />
<strong>and</strong> actress Marilyn Mon-<br />
