· BCSF and NUS - Being a member of the Douglas Colleg Student Society entitles you to a membership in these acronyms. Full-time students contribute 50 cents per head to each of these organizations; 25 cents for part-time students. The British Columbia Students Federation is a provincial student organization that represents post-secondary students. The National Union of Students is a coast-to-coast organization that brings together issues as they affect post-secondary students across the country. "Students at Dalhousie University Protest Fee Increase by· Boycottin~ Classes.'' Hmmm I wonder if students out here would do 1t?

The mere thought of all this is ridiculous, for it does not concern this account of Colon and his role in the precious tales of Douglas mythology.

However, in all fairness to accuracy, I must relate there is ·christian another version of this prelude to Colon's vision. The "Blue", and "Ritz" version of the tale is maintained by the scholars· that feel Colon was a Saint, and-could do nothing wrong. This second version comes from a group of researchers who claim - that Colon was not the traveller of the straight and narrow as Fel~owship he is claimed to-be, and, in fact, that if he had been there would have been no vision. The researchers claim that not only C~Qege did he indulge in the ''Blue and Ritz,'' but that he also smoked -Calling all Christians~ a herb that at the time was considered to be illegal.
