5 years: Board of directors supports part-time professors
The Wilfrid Laurier University Students’ Union board of directors passed motions of support for Laurier’s part-time faculty and librarians. The two motions expressed support towards the part-time faculty under their current working conditions, and a commitment to lobby administration to increase the institutional and financial support available for part-time professors. The Wilfrid Laurier University Faculty Association had been in negotiations with the university administration since April. WLUFA was pushing for several changes including continuing appointment year-to-year instead of being let go every April.

25 years: The Cord runs abortion feature
The Cord ran a two-part series on abortion which featured an interview with Dr. Henry Morgentaler. The article came just weeks after a Toronto jury had acquitted Morgentaler of guilty charges for performing an illegal abortion. Morgentaler was quoted stating that he thinks that after five months abortions should be extremely rare because, “It’s not really human, because it doesn’t have a brain until the fifth month.”

50 years: Scandal in the Torque Room Certain individuals were receiving milk from the “modern cow” without intending to or actually paying for it. Student’s attitudes towards Torque Room staff had also been a serious problem. If these problems persisted, drastic measures would have been taken if students insisted on being inconsiderate, or unpleasant occurrences continued.
