‘The Other Press

 

‘Other Press is, (surprise,
gasp, shock, dismay),
human.

In the December 10th,
1981, edition of the OP*
Douglas College President,
Kevin Hallgate, was quoted
as citing five points; in
reality, he cited only four.
The fifth point, and we
must admit that this caused

 

oo a chuckle around the

OP* was item 5:‘‘Other
euphoriants should not be
smoked at council meetings
before important dances
where violence is likely to
occur.”’

This minor misprint slip-
ped through without our
noticing it, (honestly, we
didn’t see it). If we had
seen this immoral strang-
ling of the truth (there are
no members of the Student

Society known to smoke
euphoriants. Nome.), we
would not have put it in.
Nor would we have put in
the quote from Seana
Hamilton in the same
article, where Hamilton was
quoted as saying, ‘‘We were
burnt_out from a week of

protesting and drinking.’’
This, too, is inaccurate. The
Student Society didn’t drink

that week. u

An enraged DCSS member, Seana

Hamilton stormed out of the OPoffice
one morning after confronting the
editor with the appalling ineptitude
displayed in the editorial. After calm-
_ ing down in the DCSS office, she ex-
plained some of the events that had
been going on...

,‘l have just come back from a
Canadian Federation of STudents
Pacific conference. A lot of things
“were accomplished in thé continuing
of student protest against cutbacks. |,
come back to Douglas College, pick
up an OP, and find out that | am
considered to be apathetic. | had no
idea that people felt this way. | am
taking this very personally. Everyone
here has been putting a lot of effort
in, and all this article shows is a lack
of competence in the area of journal-
ism. We weren’t even here, and we
were not approached before.’’

In The Other Corner,the question of

 

D-C-S:S: Vice

- Get your facts

straight!

  
 
 

whether the DCSS represents the
students is an extension of the
apathy expressed in the editorial.
“Words cannot begin to express
how bad | feel right now. To come
from a productive atmosphere at the
conference to DC and find out that
I’m not even doing the job I’m here
for is very upsetting. As far as ‘‘do |
feel | represent the DC student,’’ |
have to say: definitely! | wouldn’t
have done what | had done, (holding
‘protest day’), or have gone to the |
conference if | hadn’t felt that | rep-
resented the students. There is a
large gap of communication between
the Douglas college student and the
DCSS. Certainly, we will be making
efforts in the future to try and over-
come this. If the student is .ever
going to be aware of what is happen-
ing in the DCSS, there will need to
be a more mutual effort between the
DCSS and OP.! look forward to
avoiding instances like this.’’
