That went on for way too long:<\/b> In our October 18, 1993 issue, the story \u201cPermaware to be reinstated\u201d talked about how Beaver Foods, who ran the Lansdowne cafeteria at the time, were making the decision to bring non-disposable cutlery, plates, cups, and bowls back to the cafeteria. Beaver Foods had used these before, but went back to disposable ware after having too many non-disposable dishes and pieces of cutlery stolen. \u201cWe had permaware in there before,\u201d said Camosun food services chair Brian Genge, not mincing words, \u201cand it was a dismal failure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t mess with Kraft Dinner:<\/b> The story \u201cStudent handbook met with disapproval\u201d in this issue detailed how some students had some issues with the Camosun College Student Society (CCSS) student handbook that year. Student Doug McConnell said in the story that he was \u201cupset\u201d and \u201cdisgusted\u201d at some items in the handbook, such as the information that the makers of Kraft Dinner test on animals and union bust. \u201cThat is just pathetic,\u201d McConnell told us. \u201cThere is no reason for that to be in there.\u201d CCSS chairperson John-Henry Harter replied to McConnell\u2019s concerns by saying \u201cIt\u2019s important for students to know who they are and what\u2019s going on around them.\u201d<\/p>\n

This started with permaware, too:<\/b> Letter-writer Nick Lovejoy accused the Camosun College Student Society (CCSS) of being \u201ca group of hypocrites who feel they have the right to throw their authority around\u201d in the issue before this one in 1993, so CCSS external affairs executive James Atchison sent in a letter to us this issue, calmly explaining that \u201cAs Society management, decision-making is part of our jobs,\u201d and telling Lovejoy those two words any student who cares should hear now and again: \u201cget involved.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
