Caf critiques:<\/b> The talk of the town (or, more accurately, Camosun College) in the October 5, 1998 issue of Nexus<\/i> seemed to be cafeteria complaints, covering both campuses. Two articles called for improvements for college food services in this issue. In the first, our single-named writer AJ addressed unfairly priced items and suggested that students head to Hillside Centre for cheaper food instead. Additionally, writer Saki Ola interviewed students in regard to the quality of the caf food at the Interurban campus, which resulted in most students offering their critiques. I wonder what the writers from the past would think of our cafeterias today?<\/p>\n

I want to ride my bicycle:<\/b> Another hot topic in Nexus<\/i> in 1998 was bikes, apparently, as an entire two-page spread was devoted toward bike-related news. The bikecentric articles covered a range of different topics; one pushed for bikers to advocate for themselves and their safety, as drivers jeopardizing bicyclists seemed to be a prominent issue. It only takes me about three minutes of scrolling on X to realize that this is still a sentiment shared by many cyclists in Victoria.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not a phase, mom:<\/b> In a very musical throwback in this issue, Nexus<\/i> writer Wendi Davies reviewed a show by The Misfits, who played at The Limit (which doesn\u2019t exist anymore) during their North American tour. Davies painted a picture of the punk show being laden with sweat, beer, and stage-diving, and described the Misfits as \u201ccharismatic.\u201d If I could jump into a time machine right now I might just head to The Limit and partake in the punk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
