Wow: In our October 19, 1992 issue we featured a small interview with a 19-year-old singer from Toronto named Amanda Marshall. She talked about her yet-to-be-released debut album, and what it was like balancing schoolwork with being a singer. Seems like one of those little profile pieces of a forgotten Canadian musician. But cut to a few years later, and that debut album ended up selling over 1,000,000 copies in Canada alone.
Sneaky: A news article documented the exploits of one Eugene Evans, who had been removed as the Camosun College Student Society director of campus communications earlier in the year. Evans wanted to run for the same position he had been impeached from, but he wasn’t enrolled in any classes. In order to meet that criteria, Evans, the day before nominations closed, registered to audit an English 150 course. (Did he get back in? Stay tuned to this column to find out.)
Huh?: The City Cycling Seriously column was a fun and informative look at the life of a cyclist. But in this issue, that column painted drivers with a bit too wide of a brush as it stated that “motorists aren’t looking to their right, normally, while preparing to turn right.” So maybe shoulder checking doesn’t quite get the love it deserves, but still.
