Ministry mix-ups: <\/b>In our September 20, 1993 issue, a news story titled \u201cMinistry screw-up results in loan delays\u201d talked about how a mix-up resulted in about 500 Camosun students waiting to get student loan documents into their first week of classes. Apparently, there were some problems related to the Ministry of Advanced Education\u2019s central system and \u201ctouch-tone service.\u201d And if anyone read this column last issue, you know my thoughts on touch-tone services.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the best killers I know are under 10.\u201d: <\/b>In her Excrementia Factorum <\/i>column, then-Nexus<\/i> writer Shelley Evans talked about having concerns about violent video games.
