\"\"<\/a>Desperate times…: <\/b>The cover story for our October 31, 1994 issue was certainly scary, but not in an intentional way. A story about student poverty, it featured a quote from Brad Hett, who was Camosun College Student Society\u2019s internal affairs executive at the time, saying that students are coming to the student society offices \u201clooking for money or food from the food bank.\u201d Hold on: students were wandering around campus offices looking for money?

In our Speak Up <\/i>for this issue, we asked how students felt about their SIN number being used for student identification. And, much like today, opinion varied from relaxed (\u201cI don\u2019t really care\u201d) to intense opposition (\u201cIt pisses me off immensely\u201d).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
