Gettin\u2019 political:<\/strong> We recently published a feature story exploring the lack of student involvement in politics at Camosun; our February 21, 1994 issue proved that there are times when Camosun students are indeed very involved. The story \u201cWomen\u2019s march not just a second wave of feminism\u201d reported on a protest where students marched through Lansdowne campus drawing attention to issues of sexism, as well as concerns around NAFTA, then very much a hot-button issue for students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This still happens, and it\u2019s annoying:<\/strong> Yvonne Harris wrote a letter to the editor this issue complaining about able-bodied students using the access button on doorways so they don\u2019t have to open the doors themselves. Harris said that she had already seen maintenance people working on these doors this semester, and said that \u201csurely this access for the disabled is not intended for use every 20 seconds.\u201d She ended the letter with \u201cIn politest terms: How effen lazy can you get!?\u201d Agreed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Auto awesomeness:<\/strong> Writer Shelley Evans wrote a humourous ode to her car in the Excrementia Factorum<\/em> column this issue. It included a list of what makes her car great: \u201cMy seat and headrest are stained from baby puke,\u201d \u201cThe heater smells like burnt rubber when the lights are on and anti-freeze when the lights don\u2019t work,\u201d \u201cIt hasn\u2019t got an antenna and only plays C-FAX,\u201d etc. She ends off with a resigned sentiment we can all relate to: \u201cI will continue to dole out hundreds of dollars to ICBC to keep this driving experience alive,\u201d she said, before adding, \u201cand to keep off the public transit system.\u201d Ouch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
