Time capsule via the bathroom wall:<\/strong> The story \u201cInterurban graffiti targets female campus staff\u201d in our September 6, 1994 issue detailed an unfortunate spree of graffiti in the men\u2019s bathrooms at Camosun\u2019s Interurban campus. The targets of the graffiti included \u201cspecific individuals on campus, women, minority groups,\u201d and what we must admit is a very 1994 list of people: anti-logging supporters, Michael Jackson, and Lorena Bobbitt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Size matters:<\/strong> We talked about the difference in size between the two campuses in \u201cInterurban size to exceed Lansdowne,\u201d with the big takeaway right there in the headline. At the time, students were moving from Lansdowne to Interurban with the completion of the Campus Centre and Centre for Business and Access buildings. \u201cMoving can be traumatic,\u201d said Brian Genge, who was director of physical and ancillary services at the time. These are words that should be remembered as the college prepares students for another shift when Interurban\u2019s new Alex & Jo Campbell Centre for Health and Wellness building is completed this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robbins always wins:<\/strong> The story \u201cParking fees froze\u201d in this issue talked about how Robbins Parking, which monitored the college parking lots (and still does today), hadn\u2019t raised its parking fees that year. But, given that it was early September, we added in a very hopeful \u201c\u2026yet\u201d to that statement. Here in 2019, Robbins recently changed the system so your parking pass is connected with your licence plate. No more meeting your soulmate by handing off your parking pass as you drive away from campus. Uh, not that Camosun students ever did that, of course. (Look for our feature story on parking issues at Camosun soon.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
