Before becoming '' The Link , '' '' Georgian '' editor David A. Bowman handed over editorial control of the newspaper to the Black Students ’ Association in the midst of the 1969 Computer Centre Incident . They produced an issue outlining their grievances with the administration and the content was highly libelous and inflammatory . The RCMP seized most copies of the paper , which would later become known as the Black Georgian because of its black cover . The student council later fired Bowman for “ financial and journalistic incompetence . ” In 1985 , '' The Link '' interviewed Hunter S. Thompson , who was scheduled to speak at Concordia . Twenty-eight years later its author , Dwayne Perrault , recounted how he wrote the story in an interview to '' The Link '' from his home in Amsterdam
