Flyer friction: <\/b>We did a cover story on feminism at Camosun back in August of this year, but it\u2019s been a hot topic on campus for a long time. Athena Tupaatsch wrote in a letter to the editor in our November 29, 1993 issue that the Camosun College Student Society\u2019s \u201cwomen\u2019s centre has done me a grave disservice.\u201d Tupaatsch was upset about a women\u2019s centre flyer that, she says, \u201cfeatured a detailed illustration of female genitalia.\u201d \u201cAs a woman, I am disgusted that the women\u2019s centre could remotely assume that such tacky tactics could in any way represent me,\u201d she wrote, adding, \u201cJust as I do not want to see the penis paraded across my eyes, I do not want to see the vagina paraded across my eyes. Nor do I see any need to pull my pants down to demand my moral rights.\u201d<\/p>\n

Degrees, please: <\/b>This issue\u2019s Student Opinion editorial column, written by Keith Bell, talked about the woes of being a student: most importantly, high debt and a worry about finding work after graduation. <\/b>In the column, Bell told a joke that has become more or less timeless: \u201cWhat do you say to a person who holds a degree? I\u2019d like a Big Mac and fries, please.\u201d Ouch.<\/p>\n

More flyer friction: <\/b>The story \u201cPosters removed by students\u201d in this issue talked about how representatives of the Camosun College Student Society (CCSS) said two different event posters around campus were examples of sexism toward women and that people had been tearing them down. In a statement that almost echoes the one levied against the women\u2019s centre\u2019s fliers above, CCSS women\u2019s centre executive Laurie Sluchinski said, \u201cIt\u2019s pretty disgusting.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
