Re:
"January
25:
our
day
of
protest
Where
were
the
college
students"
S.
Rousell;
January
31,
1995
I
did
not
attend
the
protest
of
Jan.
25
but
I
am
NOT
apathetic!
On
Jan
24th,
I
went
to
the
Student
Association
office
to
inquire
about
happenings
the
next
day
and
was
told
NOTHING
WAS
HAPPENING!
I
was
told
of
a
two
o'clock
walk
out
and
that
UNBC
was
having
a
meeting
at
2:30
pm
-
but
that
was
it!
Nor
was
I
asked
to
sign
or
told
of
any
petition.
I
assumed
the
CNC
Student
Association
was
the
apathetic
one.
I'm
sure
if
more
students
had
known
of
what
was
going
on
more
would
have
participated.
If
so
many
students
didn't
"even
know
about
the
strike
obviously
there
is
a
communication
problem.
If
the
CNC
Student
Association
wants
the
opinions
ans
participation
of
the
students
they
are
supposed
to
represent
they
had
better
find
a
way
to
communicate
with
them.
Dear
Ms.
or
Mr.
Ridsdale;
I
can
understand
your
angst,
and
I
agree
that
the
protest
at
CNC
was
not
very
well
organized.
Partly
because
there
was
actually
no
student
association
per
se.
Almost
the
entire
executive
was
just
becoming
part
of
the
executive.
So,
it
seems,
the
lack
of
communication,
although
unfortunate,
was
unavoidable.
However,
if
you
entered
from
the
front
doors,
you
would
not
have
missed
the
students
protesting
outside.
These
students
were
out
all
day,
and
were
not
connected
with
the
student
association.
Apparently
though,
I
have
no
right
to
express
an
opinion
anymore,
so
I
am
afraid
that
is
all
I
can
say
about
the
apathy,
both
in
the
student
body
and
the
student
association.
Your
point
is
well
taken,
and
I
hope
in
the
future,
there
will
be
better
organization
for
these
events
which
are
so
important.

'anything

a
job';
The
only
reason
I
am
not
printing
your
letter
is
because
it
would
be
a
waste
of
space
to
go
over
something
that
has
already
been
covered.
If
any
one
lacks
maturity,
it
is
you.
In
the
words
of
one
surveyed
CNC
student
"Lighten
up,
eh-be
a
Canadian"
and
of
my
own
aside,
get
a
grip.
All
I
got
from
your
letter
was
'for
the
sake
of
ever
wanting
to
work
at
Northwood,
shut
up.'
It's
not
a
lack
of
maturity,
but,
as
Demian
Young
said
"Compromising
our
beliefs
for
the
sake
of
marketplace".
Your
big
butt
analogy
won't
fly
here
though,
it's
a
gluteus
maximus
of
disproportionate
size.
And
finally,
this
world
is
in
a
lot
of
trouble
if
we
cannot
sit
back,
crack
a
beer
and
take
a
long
hard
laugh
at
ourselves.

THE
FEDERAL
BUDGET
IS
COMING!
EDUCATION
MAY
BE
GOING!
GET
INVOLVED
WITH
THE
STUDENT
ASSOCIATION,
AND
BE
HEARD!
The
CNC
Free
Press
wishes
to
apologize
for
the
lack
of
classified
ads
in
the
past
two
issues,
but
due
to
lack
of
space,
there
has
been
no
room.
We
would
also
like
to
apologize
for
all
the
spelling
mistakes
in
the
Valentine's
Day
issue,
but
due
to
time
constraints,
we
had
no
time
to
finish
proofreading.
As
it
happens,
it
was
10
minutes
before
the
presses
shut
down
when
the
paper
got
finished.
Please
accept
our
apologies
about
this
issue,
and
we
hope
to
correct
the
problem
(be
better
organized)
by
next
issue.
