Cafeteria wins and woes:<\/b> Apparently, the food at the cafeteria at Camosun\u2019s Lansdowne campus was less than desirable back in the late \u201990s. However, in our September 21, 1998 issue, Nexus<\/i> writer John Overall reported that in August the cafeteria was taken over by Restauronics Service Ltd., and, apparently, the food improved greatly. He admired the plentiful food options but noted that some people were upset about a price surge on the menu. Fast forward to today, the cafeteria is now run by Aramark (see ya, Restauronics); I wonder what students of the past would think of the current menu prices…<\/p>\n

Go on, love yourself:<\/b> In this issue, we reported that a Fairfield-based counsellor, Mario Biasio, was hosting a seven-week course on learning to be your own best friend, which Nexus<\/i> writer Tara O\u2019Donovan believed could be a helpful tool for stressed-out students. Biasio passed away in 2010, and his book Be Your Best Friend<\/i> doesn\u2019t seem to exist on the internet anymore. The notion of loving yourself through times of stress, however, is sweet and timeless.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m sorry, a beer was how much?:<\/b> We also reported in this issue that the Dunlop House, located on the Lansdowne campus, was hosting pub nights. The nights were put on by Hospitality and Tourism Management students who were responsible for attaining liquor licences and staying within a budget. Speaking of budget, drinks were offered at $2.75 and food was $5 (if I had access to emojis right now I\u2019d use the head-exploding one here). Today, the Dunlop House Restaurant is still active, and, according to the Camosun website, you can reserve a table from October to April from 5:00 to 6:30 pm on Wednesdays. We\u2019re guessing drinks are no longer $2.75.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
