Camosun College was invaided by a horde of zombies on March 30, staggering and moaning through campus and along Richmond and Foul Bay Road.

Their Purpose was to protest the high cost of education, causing more and more students to build up large, insurmountable debt loads.

These zombies were actually Camosun student activists who took time off from their classes to paint their faces white, wear tattered ruins of Sid Vicious' wardrobe, and affect their best Thriller-style shuffle. So why the zombie attire?
"Student debt is turning us into the living dead," explains CCSS External Executive Christopher Gillespie. CCSS Student Service Coorindator Michael Glover, who rallied students to the cause with the cry "You're evil, you're undead. Zombify!" added that student debts affects us all.

"Education is like infrastructure for our province, Without that, we'll be in much worse shape than we are today. We need [education] like we need roads and waterways." Glover hopes the zombies will also be a reminder for students of the importance of voting in the upcoming provincial election.

"Students need to be aware this coming election, says Glover. "Spend some time, think education. "Vote with education in mind and you could strike a blow against the living dead!"
