Still more CFS controversy: <\/b>Our April 5, 1993 issue featured the story \u201cCFS controversy continues,\u201d which, once again, detailed concerns students had about being part of the national organization. Considering it\u2019s 25 years later and relations between Camosun students and the national organization have gotten even worse, one has to wonder when the speculation will end and defederation will begin. The Camosun College Student Society (CCSS) no longer acknowledges the CFS on its website or in its student handbook, and the CFS has basically zero presence at Camosun. Camosun students still pay into the CFS every semester through their CCSS student fees.<\/p>\n

We can\u2019t\u2026 We\u2019re not\u2026 We don\u2019t know:<\/b> So, the story \u201cCamosun student takes bank hostages\u201d in this issue sounds unreal but looks serious but is maybe a joke considering this hit stands on April 5. And if it\u2019s serious, we gave it a surprisingly small amount of real estate on the page. Apparently, an 18-year-old Camosun student, \u201cdespondent over his grades at school,\u201d went into the Pacific Coast Savings Credit Union in Broadmead with two rifles and two knives and had an eight-hour standoff with police, which eventually resulted in him releasing the hostages and surrendering to police. There were no injuries during this event, which we think was real but we\u2019re not really sure (and we weren\u2019t when we wrote about it in \u201c20 Years Ago in <\/i>Nexus\u201d in 2013, either) so we\u2019re not going to make any jokes and just uneasily end this here.<\/p>\n

Still more CCSS controversy: <\/b>We reported in previous issues in this column about how their director of communications, Susan Williams, had spoken up about the CFS to Nexus<\/i> and was censured by the CCSS for it; in this issue she wrote back to us and provided us with a copy of her agenda, showing us just how much work she did for students, and added that \u201cif any one of the members of council would match my efforts we might have had a stronger, more effective student society.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
