Wellness at Wilna:<\/b> In Nexus<\/i>\u2019 November 30, 1998 issue, contributor Priya Vohora wrote about Camosun College\u2019s Alternative Health Fair \u201998, which was held in the Wilna Thomas Cultural Centre on November 19. Some of the exhibits on display included acupressure, chiropractic posture check, herbal medicine, vitamins and supplements, and organic produce. Vohora reported feeling relief after a session of acupressure at the fair, which, honestly, would be nice right about now as finals loom closer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Hell on wheels:<\/b> Parking issues at Camosun seem to be a tale as old as time. An article regarding public upset about students parking in residential areas was covered by Nexus<\/i> writer Venetia Fletcher\u2014and let me tell you, I\u2019m excited by the 25-year-old drama. Local resident Josie Manule said that dangerous student drivers were taking over her street and caused her son to get into a car accident. Apparently, students in cars were a terror that plagued the neighbourhoods surrounding Camosun, because on November 18, 1998, a community meeting was held in Fisher 100 to address the too-fast and too-furious student body. The solutions weren\u2019t as entertaining as the drama, though, and I\u2019ll cut to the chase for you by saying: speed bumps.<\/p>\n

Trade cancellations concern: <\/b>Also in this issue, Nexus<\/i> writer John Overall reported on concerns over trades programs being cut at Camosun. Overall seemed to have suspicions regarding the School of Trades and Technology\u2019s budget and where money was being allocated and into what programs. At the time of writing the article Overall had put in a Freedom of Information request to obtain the breakdown of the budget so he could track the flow of money. However, the request would take up to 90 days to come in, so the remainder of the article was mostly speculation. Some of the factors leading to the cancellations were thought to be caused by a lack of student interest, a lack of jobs, or the cost to run a particular program being too high.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
