Clip-art catastrophe:<\/b> The story \u201cLead in Carey water exceeds acceptable limits\u201d in our February 17, 1992 issue talked about how water in the now-defunct Camosun Carey Road campus had lead concentrations that were higher than they should have been. That\u2019s no surprise for buildings of a certain vintage, but what was surprising was our rather tactless and most certainly puzzling decision to adorn the story with images of clip-art skull and crossbones. Clip art! This is offensive on a few levels, not the least of which involves looking at it from a design perspective. Sorry \u2019bout that.<\/p>\n

Wha\u2026?:<\/b> The Camosun College Business Network had a humorous column of sorts published this issue called \u201c15 ways to deal with stress.\u201d Amongst the silly ideas was number 9, which was probably not the funniest thing ever printed in our inky pages: \u201cLeaf through National Geographic<\/i> and draw underwear on the natives.\u201d Sure thing.<\/p>\n

Camosun College fever: <\/b>Letter-writer Yvonne M. Bob wrote in this issue to state she had a problem with student clubs raffling off bottles of alcohol on campus. She said it was problematic, as some students may have drinking problems and she had a friend die due to a drunk driver. Still, as serious as the letter is, the last line is a funny one: \u201cRaffling off a booze bottle in the 1990s is about as in touch with the times as coming to school wearing disco pants.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
