Students' Union. The Students’ Union’s increasingly heavy-handed direction of “The Carillon”, coupled with financial mismanagement by previous Carillon editorial staff, caused conflict at weekly meetings, and threats to shut the paper down. In the summer of 1998, “The Carillon” decided to finally get out from under the yoke of URSU (University of Regina Students’ Union) and sought autonomy under the Saskatchewan Non-Profit Corporations Act, assisted in these efforts with help from its sister paper, the University of Manitoba’s “The Manitoban” (who had recently undergone the same process), both under the umbrella of the Canadian University Press. The effort was successful, allowing the paper to operate independently, without editorial interference from URSU, and under its own financial operations. Notable “Carillon” alumni from the ‘90s include Tanya Birkbeck, Merelda Fiddler, Bonnie Allen, and Jen Quesnel, all journalists on air with CBC Radio.
303:. During the 2002/03 school year a series of events led to a reorganization of the paper at various levels of operation from the board of directors to the line editors. In the wake of a controversial article that was intended to be satirical (some found sexist and offensive) a small, vocal group of student activists protested against the Carillon and attempted to put forward a series of motions at the annual general meeting that directed editorial content and dismiss staff members. The motions were ruled out of order (to the frustration of protestors) but the efforts of the protesters changed the organization significantly. Calls for further accountability of the paper and checks and balances on the authority of the Editor in Chief led to a reorganization of the Carillon board of directors and a redrafting of the constitution to meet the demands of the activists.

Bacchus festival; which of course featured the
Carillon Hotel Inspection Tour, or CHIT. Often covered by the national media, CHIT was a drinking competition requiring entrants, singles and doubles, to consume individual glasses of draft beer at downtown Regina hotel bars, running from one to another for a total of 24 beers; all without the dreaded regurgitation. Many contestants were primed and, if you will, trained for CHIT success during the weekly infamous Pub Nights held every Thursday in the venerable Student Union building, at which Sandy Monteith reigned supreme. Of course Monteith dominated CHIT for years, if not decades.
