That\u2019s money in the bank\u2026 or not:<\/strong> In the story \u201cStudents foot bill in ski club scandal\u201d in our October 30, 1995 issue, we talked about how a group of Camosun students who were in the student ski club had to use money out of their own pockets during a club trip. The group arrived at Apex Resort in Penticton to find that a cheque for $4,270 had bounced. But the Camosun College Student Society, who oversees all student club activity on campus, decided to reimburse the students at a rate of 75 percent of the money they spent. As for why the cheque bounced in the first place, \u201cIt appears that money had a difficult time getting to the bank,\u201d CCSS office resources coordinator Michael Subasic diplomatically explained.<\/p>\n

That was then, this is now, forever and ever: <\/strong>The story \u201cLack of Interurban parking spaces frustrating\u201d barely needs to be read, because absolutely nothing has changed. There\u2019s a new parking lot these days, but there\u2019s also more students out there. Unless you\u2019re there at the crack of dawn to grab a spot, that frustration is just as bad in 2020 as it was in 1995.<\/p>\n

Still zero tolerance: <\/strong>The story \u201cZero tolerance for racial graffiti\u201d reported on racist stickers being found around campus. Sadly, 25 years later, racism is still something we need to talk about; look for an upcoming Open Space opinion piece written by a Camosun student on that very subject soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
