Around the world: In our last issue, we took a look at how international students have a hard time adjusting to life in Canada and studying at Camosun. Back in our November 2, 1992 issue, we were doing the exact same thing in an article titled “Lifestyle shift for Columbian student.” (Sure, maybe it should have said Colombian, but… okay, it should have said Colombian.) One Thomas Perdomo talked about how things were different in Canada compared to his hometown of Bogota; one major difference was the limited partying Victoria had to offer compared to Bogota. C’mon, Victorians! Let’s all find Perdomo, buy him a beer, and show him a good time.
Best classified ever: We joke around lots about the old technological terms thrown around in the old issues of the paper, so we won’t make fun of the fact that there’s a classified in this issue that aims to help students with their “wordprocessing” typing needs. We will, however, make fun of the fact that when you called the number listed in the ad, you were to ask for “Pauline’s mom.”
It’s just funny: An article entitled “Haky sack” started off by asking “What are those little crocheted sacks young people are kicking around these days?” The answer? A “haky sack,”of course!
