The Basement Pub underneath the CAW Centre, otherwise known as the “budgetary black hole,” has suffered through countless years of financial woes.
 Finally, in a joint partnership with Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) and Leopard’s Lounge, the pub expects to breathe new life in 2010.
In a last minute attempt to save the pub from its eighth closure in just three years, student-entrepreneurs Jeff Devenport and Jocylen Haydel have approached the pub with an eyebrow-raising proposition.
“It just started as an assignment for a third-year business course. We never thought it would go beyond that,” said Devenport.
“Our professor liked the idea so much that he helped us make contacts with people from Leopard’s and The Basement Pub. We made a few presentations, including a live performance from the talented Leopard’s staff, and that was it. Everyone was really impressed." >>

Sex, lies, and videotape, and a lot more sex

Last fall, some sessional instructors expressed their resentment toward WUFA leader Brian Brown for his perceived indifference to their plight. Now we know why.
Brown has found himself at the centre of a sex scandal with an unnamed female member of UWindsor’s administration.
The issue was brought to the limelight when the member of administration sold the rights to a home movie made between herself and Brown to Red Light District Video, unbeknownst to Brown.
Similar in format to Paris Hilton’s infamous pornographic video, it is difficult to see everything perfectly, as it is dark, but a series of art supplies and old WUFA placards in the foreground helped identify Brown as the recipient of a number of sexual acts.
David Joseph, president of Red Light District Video, says that the title is on pace to be the year’s top-selling rental.
“Starting with Who’s Nailin’ Paylin? people have really become interested in political pornography, or what we in the business call poli-pornos. With the emergence of Internet pornography, people aren’t going to rent movies just to see regular sex anymore. >>

As the engineering building is under construction, many students are outraged at the lack of parking available to them.
 Now that the biggest and most convenient parking lot has been closed, students find the need to arrive at the school earlier and earlier to ensure that they get to class on time.
Students will now be allowed to park in staff lots until a more permanent solution is reached.
Because of the lack of space available, it seems as though more and more students have been violating parking regulations as there has been a rapid increase in the amount of fines that have been issued according to members of Campus Police parking enforcement. “Some students would rather pay a $15 fine than be late for class it seems,” according to Director of Campus Police and Parking Services, Robert Cowper.
One case in particular has students rethinking their parking strategies. >>
