Silent airwaves: “FM Radio License Approved for Camosun’s Communication Program,” from our September 7, 1993 issue, tells a tale of Camosun’s radio station, well, getting approved for an FM radio license. Given how events shook down the past couple of years and that the station’s office is now an empty shell after it closed down and the Applied Communication Program went with it, it should be apparent that we read this old article with more than a bit of sadness in our hearts.
At least this is still here: The article “Women’s Centre Opens” talked about the opening of a new place on the Lansdowne campus where women can network, gather, and get connected with other women’s organizations. The centre, now located in the Richmond House, was originally located down in the Fisher building in room 114a, a room that now appears to not exist; sounds like a mystery to us!
Ground = broken: A news article in this issue talked about the groundbreaking new registration system that Camosun had employed for that school year. And while we have no doubt that it was groundbreaking for the time, as anyone who’s tried to engage in any sort of system where thousands of people are trying to do the same thing at the same time through an automated phone system knows: this rarely ends well.
