So it begins\u2026: <\/b>Our October 28, 1991 issue featured a story talking about whether or not Camosun students should join the Canadian Federation of Students (CFS). The cost at the time was estimated to be around $70,000 annually (although in our next issue, the Camosun College Student Society president wrote a letter to say that that number was more like $35,000). Students did vote to join the national student organization, but, as our recent series of stories (search for \u201cCFS\u201d at nexusnewspaper.com) shows, the honeymoon is clearly over. Tensions continue to grow between the CFS national office and locals in British Columbia, including here at Camosun.<\/p>\n

Parking, parking, parking:<\/b> It\u2019s the same old story with parking, and we ran it again this issue. This time around, the story \u201cSemester parking: double or nothing\u201d detailed the concerns at hand at the time: there were too many cars and no incentive for students to ride the bus or take their bikes. One option being discussed was to raise parking fees to help subsidize the bus-pass program and provide bike racks and lockers for cyclists. This option did not go over well with students who drove because they lived far away, which shows that this always-thorny issue is a complicated one and always will be.<\/p>\n

This must have been the place to be: <\/b>An ad for Scrubby\u2019s Laundromat mentioned that they had videogames, TV, and snacks, and were open until 9 pm. Sounds like a 1991 party to me! We looked into whether this place is still around, and it is; their website shows that the snacks are still there, but no word on whether the videogames remain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
