I think the instructor is doing a fine job creating problems himself: The story “Interurban students take changes in stride” in our January 23, 1995 issue talked about how students at Interurban were dealing with an increase in enrolment. One big change was that there were more women enrolling in trades programs at the time, which led to one of student Brent Patzack’s instructors telling his class to “take it easy on the females, you can create a lot of problems for yourself,” according to Patzack. Ouch.
Not the April Fool’s issue: We ran a story about BC Transit in this issue; as anyone who’s ever read Nexus knows, those stories tend to feature upset students. That’s why the headline for this story seems so absolutely shocking: the piece, which talked about how BC Transit was dealing with issues brought up by students, was titled “BC Transit meets expectations.”
They’re made to be broken: The piece “Students don’t play by rules – cafeteria manager” talked about tensions between Beaver Foods—who ran the Lansdowne cafeteria—and student groups running soup kitchens and bake sales. Beaver Foods said the students were only allowed to do one event per week and had been doing more; the students said they were “well within their rights.” Camosun said that having too many student events “shoots [students] in the foot” because some of Beaver Foods’ profits went to a fund for the students.
