Bad news, bad news: The story “Parking not to improve” in our February 6, 1995 issue featured a headline that really summed up Interurban’s parking situation. It was all dour: there’s not enough parking; there will not be more parking added; the parking lots are dark and full of holes. Today, there’s a fresh new parking lot at that campus, and if you get there at 7 am you might even find a spot to park in it.
Good news, good news: The story “Students propose inter-campus bus” detailed how students were calling on Camosun to create a bus to go between Lansdowne and Interurban. This one has a happier ending: today, the Camosun Express is going strong and helping students travel the admittedly daunting commute between the two campuses.
Never stop fighting: “Students rally against proposed education cuts” detailed a rally that had taken place where approximately 2,500 Camosun students—as well as students from UVic and local high schools—took over the lawns of the Parliament Buildings to fight back against the Liberal government’s social policy review. Let that sink in: 2,500 Camosun students gathered together on one day to make their voice heard. Don’t feel like you can’t make that happen again, because you can.
