In the original story, Evans said the CCSS had spent \u201c$30,000 to $60,000 on sending student society executives to social functions of the Canadian Federation of Students back east.\u201d In our September 21, 1992 issue, CCSS director of external affairs Riane Shortliffe wrote in to say that Evans\u2019 numbers were wrong and that the CCSS was in fact budgeting $10,000 to send delegates to CFS meetings, which, Shortliffe pointed out, \u201care far from\u201d being social functions.
