hibited him from running for re-election.

New Bylaw VIL, section 4d reads, “Nominees may not be
contract or unionized employee[s] of Douglas College.”
Seaweed is a BSW worker at the college, and after the
electoral committee verified his employment, he was
notified that he was ineligible to run in the election.

On March 29, DCSS personnel left a memo with college
Security, Terry Leonard (Director of Facilities) and Pat
Thomasson (Manager of Site Services), stating that
Seaweed was no longer allowed access to the student
building after hours and that his keys should be
retrieved.

Seaweed says he only ran in the last election because,

    
   

“people asked”
him to, and he re Z
wanted to try &
and regain
some credibili-
ty for the stu-
dent society. ee os
He feels that POLITICS CAN BE HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH
he’s been a
crusader for Douglas College students but he can no
longer be “a one person crusade.”

“Students have to lose their apathy,” he says, “They
have to find out what's going on [in the society].”
