More CFS battling at Camosun: <\/b>Last time around in this column, we talked about a letter that then-director of communications for the Camosun College Student Society (CCSS) Sue Williams wrote to Nexus<\/i> calling for students to defederate from the Canadian Federation of Students. In our March 22, 1993 issue, a letter from unnamed \u201cstudent council representatives\u201d from the CCSS wrote in to rebuke Williams, saying that students \u201cdeserve to be protected from the heavy-handed actions of a radical minority.\u201d And they weren\u2019t talking about the CFS; they were talking about Williams. The next board meeting must have been an awkward one.<\/p>\n

Speaking of that\u2026:<\/b> We also reported on the next CCSS board meeting in this issue. CCSS Lansdowne director James Atchinson made a motion to censure and remove Williams from council for, among other things, writing that letter to us. Council amended the motion to censure but not impeach Williams, who had, humorously, left the meeting by that point.<\/p>\n

Parental musings: <\/b>We recently profiled Camosun students who juggle parenting and post-secondary duties; in this issue, we did the same, but with single parents in particular. Although they all admitted it\u2019s stressful, there were perks: Applied Communications student Gary Barnes said that having a kid \u201cmakes life more interesting. And the best part is, I get to play with his Nintendo.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
