Dig deep: <\/strong>The first story in our October 5, 1992 issue was about how there was a movie called Digger <\/em>being filmed in the Camosun parking lot. Now, this one may not have turned into a time-tested classic, but it did boast at least one big name. Yes, for a period in 1992, the one and only Leslie Nielsen was on campus. Just think, next time you\u2019re getting gouged over parking fees, you\u2019re getting gouged over parking fees where Leslie Nielsen once stood.<\/em> Kinda takes the sting away a bit, yes?<\/p>\n

Times change, but it still makes us laugh:<\/strong> There\u2019s just something incredibly quaint about seeing ads for cassettes (remember those?) in the paper. In this issue, there was an advertisement for Temple of the Dog\u2019s one and only album and Barenaked Ladies\u2019 Gordon<\/em>, both on the much-maligned tape format for only $7.93 at a local now-defunct video store (remember those?).<\/p>\n

Now that\u2019s poetry: <\/strong>From a letter to the editor: \u201cThe counters were thick with floating debris and dripping onto a sopping heap of rubbish producing an ever-increasing mess of paper mache solution.\u201d What exactly on campus could this letter-writer be referring to? What was in such a horrid state of affairs? Apparently, the women\u2019s bathroom. \u201cThe feeling of sister-hood I had once held for my gender was flushed away along with my lunch after my first introduction to the washrooms on campus,\u201d Shelley Evans also said in her letter decrying the lack of cleanliness in the loos. \u201cIf this is how people act in a public setting, I\u2019d hate to see what they do in the privacy of their own cave.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
