Hey, at least they reached quorum!: <\/strong>The story \u201cCCSS AGM \u2013 A lesson in futility\u201d in our November 14, 1995 issue talked about how the Camosun College Student Society had recently held its annual general meeting, although things didn\u2019t go smoothly. A group of Interurban students showed up to voice concerns about students from that campus not having their voices heard, complaints were levied about the CCSS not giving adequate notice for the meeting, and reports from CCSS-supported organizations \u201carrived nearly two hours after the start of the meeting.\u201d \u201cThey achieved quorum but that\u2019s about it,\u201d said writer Jody MacFarland.<\/p>\n

Hey, at least they were in person: <\/strong>In that same issue, \u201cESL students protest poor use of classtime\u201d looked at how two English as a Second Language students had gathered 60 signatures on a petition protesting poor use of class time. They pointed to how during the last week of their course, there were two class parties, one class was cancelled to allow students to register for future classes, and another was cancelled for the return of exam marks. I\u2019m sure every student in 2020 can relate to wasted class time, and I\u2019m also sure they would say, hey, at least you had classes to go to.<\/p>\n

Yeah, no kidding: <\/strong>As long as I write this column, I\u2019ll never stop complaining about parking on campus, especially at Interurban. I mean, kinda low-hanging fruit, sure, but it\u2019s also kinda fun. The story \u201cGravel parking lot irks college commuters\u201d in this issue details how lot number 8 out at Interurban was bothering students due to its enormous potholes. That parking lot today is\u2026 well, I think it\u2019s better, but what with every parking space at Interurban always being taken at the crack of dawn, who really knows? As writer Jamie Knox wrote in the opening of this story: \u201cParking, parking, parking. The issue never seems to die.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
