Room service! U of C gets campus hotel
The University of Calgary has opened a hotel on campus to help cut the cost of hosting guests of the university off-campus and to act as a hands-on training experience for students enrolled in the hotel and resort management program.
The Hotel Alma, housed in U of C’s new Dr. Fok Ying Tung International House, is one of the first on-campus, university-owned and operated hotels in Canada. The building also houses several floors that act as dedicated residence facilities for students.

Rez food leaves some hungry
Despite dining services and university services saying there has been little-to-no complaints regarding student satisfaction in the residence cafeteria, some students have said they are still leaving the cafeteria with a bad taste in their mouths.
The deadline for reducing fall-term meal plans was Oct. 16, and students like first-year journalism major Clifford Lam said he decided to reduce his plan from unlimited meals to nine meals per week, because he said he was dissatisfied with the food diversity he was being offered in the cafeteria.
Petition for CFS referendum ratified
The petition asking for a referendum on Carleton undergraduate students’ membership in the Canadian Federation of Students (CFS) has been signed, sealed, and will be delivered Oct. 29.
Organized by fourth-year journalism student Dean Tester, the petition has the signatures of 2,374 students, meeting the requirement of more than 10 per cent of the voting members of CUSA.
The petition must be acknowledged by the national branch of the CFS in order for a referendum to be held in March.
