The Olympic torch began its journey through Canada Oct. 30 and made its way through the University of Victoria campus the same day, as students and community members gathered to witness its passing.
The torch arrived on campus around 5:30 p.m. where people had gathered to meet past and present UVic athletes.

A new delivery service will bring books from the student-run, off-campus bookstore to students with disabilities.

A research group led by a Carleton graduate student has discovered that butterflies are not in fact deaf, as previously thought, but have tiny membranes in their wings that they use to distinguish between different sound frequencies.
Katie Lucas, the lead researcher for this project, concluded that some species of butterflies living in tropical forests have hearing membranes about 1/160th the size of their wingspan.
Carleton students will have another tool when applying for a job or graduate school with the launch of Carleton’s co-curricular record in the new year.
A co-curricular record is a document similar to a transcript that displays a student’s extra-curricular involvement rather than their marks, director of student affairs Ryan Flannagan said.

Nintety per cent of the graduating students said they would recommend their university to others, a 4 per cent increase from 2006.
