Pubs on the campus of Conestoga College are no longer. As of Dec. 31 1978 the pubs have lost over $4,000. The DSA had budgeted $3,000 for the operation of the pubs. The only pub to make any money, on campus, was Zon. The off-campus pub, featuring the Ian Thomas Band, at Bingeman Park made a profit of $150, but with $400 damages done to the men’s washrooms, the DSA lost money. It may be noted that damage to the women’s washrooms has never happened. People still want pubs and the solution the DSA has is to hold off-campus pubs about once a month.
