The likelihood of a referendum on undergraduates’ membership in the Canadian Federation of Students (CFS) remains unclear.
The executives of Carleton University Students’ Association (CUSA) will ask the provincial office of the CFS about the status of a petition bearing more than 2,100 signatures in favour of a referendum, in accordance with a motion passed at council Nov. 19.
They will also ask that the validity of the petition be considered in light of a counter-petition circulated on campus.
“Human beings are on a collision course,” said David Suzuki. “Fundamental changes are needed if we want to avoid the collision.”
His message was addressed to university students in Ottawa, who Suzuki described as a generation of youth who want to see change, and who are pressuring their parents and government to want the same.
The environmentalist’s appearance at the Bronson Centre Nov. 23 was hosted by Carleton and the University of Ottawa’s student unions as the closing ceremony for the U of O’s Green Weeks.
Approximately 20 students gathered in the atrium Nov. 20 to protest a proposal they said would restrict the democratic rights of Carleton students.
They were protesting a motion the executives of Carleton’s graduate students’ union had proposed for the upcoming annual general meeting of the Canadian Federation of Students (CFS). The CFS, a national student union of which all Carleton students are members, will meet Nov. 25-28.
If passed, the motion would establish new rules for leaving the CFS.
Twenty-one-year-old Carleton student David MacDonald passed away Nov. 15 at the Ottawa Heart Institute from a bacterial infection, Ottawa Citizen reports say.
MacDonald and his two younger brothers were featured in the Citizen in March earlier this year following the death of both of their parents. The article was a profile of the boys living day-to-day without mom and dad.
Greg Clarke, a family friend and vice-president of the Nepean Minor Hockey Association, called the MacDonald family “the envy of all families.”
Untreated sewage from Carleton has been leaking into the Rideau River for at least two years, despite the university’s efforts to fix the problem, according to a student who said she discovered the waste.
Third-year environmental studies student Angela Crosbie described her findings in a report detailing her experience.
In the fall of 2007, Crosbie said she and a friend were relaxing beside the Rideau River when they noticed a white, murky stream along the riverbank.
