Goodbye drama:<\/b> Our April 6, 1999, issue featured a resolution to a drama I\u2019ve been following closely for months, closing the chapter on the battle of student privacy versus the installation of closed circuit cameras at Camosun College. The issue was solved amicably so that all parties involved were satisfied (yawn-fest). After student-led petitions and pushback, the Camosun College Board of Governors quickly created a usage policy draft that seemed to calm the sea of student upset. The draft included stipulations such as adhering to the Freedom of Information Act, cameras not being used to monitor, evaluate, or discipline employees, and posting signs to inform students of the camera\u2019s whereabouts.<\/p>\n

Congrats, it\u2019s a bouncing baby territory:<\/b> In this issue, we also covered the creation of the newest territory, Nunavut, which was declared on April 1, 1999 (and wasn\u2019t the result of the territories pulling a fast one on Canada for April Fools\u2019). Writer Brooke McIntosh listed off some informative facts on Nunavut, but was concerned that she reached out to several sources, such as the provincial government, only to be met with a lack of knowledge surrounding the territory\u2019s creation. (They clearly hadn\u2019t yet made the colour-in Canadian maps for social studies classes to welcome the new territory.)<\/p>\n

My last ode to Wendi:<\/b> I can\u2019t sign off Nexus<\/i> in good conscience without covering one of my favourite columnists from the past before I tip my hat and exit stage right. In Wendi\u2019s World<\/i>, Wendi Davies discussed the possibility of the end of the world and her resulting Y2K-fear-drenched paranoia derived from doomsday preppers and cults. Davies went on to describe a (hopefully) fictional summer club she\u2019d be starting to train for the end of the world. Members would enjoy martial arts training, doomsday prepping crafts, rationing, and, for some reason, choreographed barfing. Someone lend me a pen, I\u2019m jumping in a time machine and signing up. I\u2019ll see you all when I come back to the future. Godspeed and goodnight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
