A war is being waged on our campus, a war against fun. This segment will document the battles, skrimishes, victories, defeats, attacks, and assaults each side makes for or against fun.
Mid-October 2007: Cafe Crepe on campus shuts down. The most popular and student budget-friendly addition to the new dentistry building was forced to shut down just months after it opened because they were “not experiencing the sales they had projected” ie: students were buying too much beer and not enough overpriced crepes and according to their liquor license that just wasn’t acceptable.
Mid November 2007: Arts County Fair canceled. After 16 years the ACF committee was forced to cancel the event citing financial difficulties particularly overwhelming debt. Those financial difficulties were no doubt related to rising costs for security, clean up, and safety – all responsibilities ACF is shouldered with despite the many other drinking events which occur on that day which do not contribute to these expenses. Other factors include the noise complaints the RCMP receive from the UNA, and especially the students themselves who have not come out to support ACF in recent years.
