chard. Blanchard, a cadet yaar Jack Crich
criminology student who has been
attending Douglas for three years
now, recalls his favorite moment
on the students council was ‘being
hogtied and placed on a table in
the middle of the cafeteria last
|April Fools day.’ ’’I really enjoyed
working with those guys this
year... they should be commended
for their effort,’’ said Blanchard
who is known to dress as a begger’
during demonstrations.
‘We've made the public aware
} of what is happening to educa-
| tion,’’ he said of what council
achieved this term. ‘‘We’ve all
worked hard as a team,”’ he said.
Bill plans to go to SFU next year.
