There are plenty of rest spots where visitors can survey objects of interest such as the six-ton jade boulder, brought from the Hell's Gate canyon where explorer Simon Fraser wintered in 1808. The boulder is set jewel-like in a huge reflection pond.

Visitors are also invited to tour the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, and the SFU Gallery. Admission to both is free. Tours start from the north entrance of the Administration Building, with departures every hour on the half-hour from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Visitors receive a pamphlet containing a map and history of the university.

Free parking is available in specially marked areas. Tours carry on even in the rain when guides escort visitors through covered passages and walkways. No advance booking is required except for group tours and these can be arranged by calling 29M323. Thousands of tourists and lower mainland residents alike will include Simon Fraser University on their list of summer sight-seeing priorities. Over its 17-year history, SFU has proven to be a popu-lar attraction and free guided tours will be offered again this year to accommodate the thousands of visitors to campus.

Scheduled seven days a week from July 1 through September 6, the tours give visitors an opportunity to acquire facts about the university or simply to enjoy the scenery that the campus affords. There are a number of features that impress visitors. In the first place, the architecture is striking. Creators Arthur Erickson and Geoffrey Massey endeavored to retain the natural topography of Burnaby Mountain by designing the campus and buildings to fit the contours of the summit. The architects also achieved an innovative marriage of ancient Grecian and contemporary design evident in the liberal use of pillars and sweeping stairways.

They are Kanaka Creek, east of Haney, Capilano and Burnaby Lake. Work will be carried out this summer. Some $10,000 has been earmarked for Kanaka Creek Regional Park. It will be spent on improving the entranceway to the park from 252nd Street and erecting an information kiosk.

In addition, a turnaround and parking space will be built for buses carrying participants to the nature programs at the park. At Capilano, $12,000 will be spent on rebuilding three footbridges on the main west bank trail in the park. The three are among a number of bridges that are 40 to 50 years old and require reconstruction or relocation. At Burnaby Lake, $10,000 will be spent on improvements to the nature house on Pipe Avenue. The GVRD has 11 regional parks in the lower mainland comprising close to 6,000 Opera season cut back budget losas to around $100,000 but has the potential to break even if all productions are sold out.

The forecast deficit comes on top of a $300,000 deficit for the year ended June 30, 1982. This was the result of major losses on the Romeo and Juliette and Man of La Mancha productions, reductions in City of Vancouver grants in lieu of rent, and a large shortfall in corporate donations, especially in the forest and mining industry sectors. Vancouver Opera Association is cutting back on its 1982-83 season plans in order to avoid a forecast $250,000 deficit. "The board unanimously agreed that this would be unacceptable and must regrettably reduce the coming season in order to protect the future of the opera," said a spokesman. The revised season will open in December with La Boheme followed by La Traviata and Carmen.
