UWindsor pub opens after five month hiatus By Hannah Larking News Editor August 27, 2008 After five months of silence, the university pub will re-open on Sunday, August 31.  According to UWSA president Tiffany Gooch, after weeks of discussion, the catalyst came from an approach by the university, “[They] wanted to help us. They came to us and saw the need for a pub on campus,” Gooch explained.
“They wanted to see that we had tried everything to keep the pub profitable or break even at least.”
There were several proposals tossed around, one of them was the idea of combined buying power for pub food. “A bit of a history behind this is that, before [we owned the pub] the university owned it,” Gooch said. >> | Vandalism triggers need for awareness By Hannah Larking

 The vandalism, which he described as “offensive and discriminatory,” was found in a public washroom, and has since been reported and removed by the Campus Community Police.
“Our campus is dramatically enriched by the engagement of all who work and study here. Racist or other discriminatory or phobic comments are completely unacceptable, and a blatant contradiction of the basic spirit and aspirations of this university,” Wildeman continued in the statement. >>  | | Campus Kiss | | Think green campaign launched on campus By Hannah Larking News Editor August 27, 2008 The University of Windsor’s campus cleanliness committee launched a “think green, keep it clean” campaign with a barbecue on Monday, August 26.
