No fishing in Fisher:<\/b> In the September 8, 1998 issue of Nexus<\/i> we reported on the creation of the pond in the Fisher building. The project was launched because of a suggestion from Camosun\u2019s Health and Wellness Committee; the pond was meant to beautify the space as well as cleanse the air. In \u201998 the pond only consisted of plants, but nowadays it\u2019s occupied by the star of the show: Bubbles the turtle, who can often be found lounging under a heat lamp.<\/p>\n

Nexus<\/i> separates from CCSS<\/b>: Nexus<\/i> reported its financial freedom from the Camosun College Student Society (CCSS) in this issue, meaning it would run independently as its own organization. There were still negotiations underway between the CCSS and Nexus<\/i> detailing the terms of the split. As it stands today, Nexus<\/i> is still its own entity, separate from both the CCSS and Camosun College.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Allegedly, police had been shutting down raves, sometimes before they began. Makin didn\u2019t blame the police for breaking up the parties; instead, she put out a call to action for society to become more accepting of raves and rave culture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
