Wild times: I’m beginning to think the ’90s were a more radical, strange time than we think. In our event listings for the February 22, 1993 issue, phrases such as “comedic feminist terrorism” and “the 5 White Guys” and “their rocking R&R band, Simply White” were casually dropped, as well as a notification that we may be “chanelling without knowing it!”
Sure it wasn’t 183?: Concerned letter-writer Anton Prins put pen to paper to ask why, if Camosun was so concerned about conserving paper, the bookstore put up 182 pieces of paper wishing students a happy Valentine’s Day. All we are wondering right now is if Prins actually stood outside the bookstore and counted all those pieces of paper. Anton, you reading this? Can you confirm this, please? We’ve been trying to fact-check this for 20 years.
