In Brief
ApHS holds open house
The newly constituted Applied Human Sciences Department will hold an open house from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on September 23 and 24 at 2145 Mackay St., and on September 23 at Loyola's Hingston Hall.
A celebration of the merger of Leisure Studies and Applied Social Sciences will be held October 16.
Discount at bookstore
The SGW bookstore now carries magazines. All magazines and paperback bestsellers will be sold at a 10-per-cent discount to students, faculty and staff.
Executives of CUCEPTFU, the Continuing Education part-time faculty union, signed their collective agreement with the University this summer. Seen standing above are Vice-Rector Institutional Relations and Secretary-General Marcel Danis and Director of Human Resources Valérie Gagnon; seated are Director of Continuing Education Richard Diubaldo, union president Brenda Grant, vice-president Mary Lee Wholey, and Rector Frederick Lowy.
Joint registration
The Office of the Registrar and its counterpart at McGill University are registering their Education students together.
The innovation came about because a number of courses have been crosslisted at both institutions. (Concordia offers early childhood studies, primary-school pedagogy and adult education, while McGill is particularly strong in the latter years of elementary school and high school.)
A team made up of employees from both universities organized the new registration process, which requires the connection of certain Concordia computers in the Registrar's Office to the McGill student information system. While the students are registered in both universities, they are still responsible for paying tuition at their home institution.

Meet the neighbours
The members of Concordia's downtown campus have all been invited to an event to be held next Tuesday evening by the owners of the nearby cluster of fine museums and art
galleries.
On September 15, from 6 to 9 p.m., the merchants of the Association du Quartier du Musée will hold an open house, including music, some surprise activities, and a historical presentation by Heritage Montreal.
