Bad times, bad times:<\/strong> The story \u201cFederal cuts to BC mean fewer dollars for post-secondary education\u201d in our September 5, 1995 issue talked about how there was set to be approximately $250 million in cuts to BC post-secondary over a three-year period. It\u2019s easy to get bogged down in bad news in 2020, but, rest assured, there\u2019s always been lots of bad news out there if you know where to look for it.

Student society snark: <\/strong>Letter-writer Matthew Skala wrote us to address his concern about Camosun College Student Society (CCSS) electoral candidates holding a rally and giving speeches during a voting period, when CCSS policy forbade election campaigning during that time. Skala said \u201cI am certainly glad I am transferring to UVic next year and not staying here with these people in charge,\u201d then signed off as a \u201cCCSS general member but not for much longer, thank Goddess.\u201d<\/p>\n

As someone who regularly spots recyclables sitting in garbage cans around campus and then fishes them out and places them in the proper containers, all I can say is I don\u2019t care who does this stuff, just stop doing it and recycle already.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
