Activists to protest bad food canteens

The 1960s was a time of non-violent political protest and events known as ‘sit-ins.’ This Friday, 10 December two German Erasmus students, Manuel Hilscher and Dusha Manoharan will stage another type of protest at the Faculty of Life Sciences.

The ‘Eat-in’. Manoharan and Hilscher, along with other international students, hope to change the way students look at their food, by making the eating of each others food an event in itself.

Grand reopening of student café

While some of us slept, a team of 10 students and 2 architects busied themselves preparing the Faculty of Life Sciences’ student-owned and run »Café Væksthuset« (Danish for »Café Greenhouse«) for its spring opening on Monday, 28 March.

The final preparations are in addition to a complete renovation of the four year old café. The work party built, painted and modified new and old furniture, giving a new face to the ever-popular gastronomic institution.

Raspberry pie beats mousse in sugary shocker

Even though it was very nice, a fine chocolate mousse with crunchy nuts with jelly made from the juice of sea buckthorn didn’t go the whole way, but ended up as number two.

Café Væksthuset, the student-run café at the Faculty of Life Science, held its third annual cake competition on Monday 26 September. Five teams joined the competition and had created some beautiful and tasty cakes for the event. There were prizes for the three best cakes.

Students flock to spring café

Students, staff and other café-goers were serenaded by music and fresh, homemade food at the student café, Café Væksthuset yesterday Monday. And they couldn't have asked for a better day full of sunshine on the second official day of spring.

After the several months of preparations, such as hiring and planning, and over two weeks of renovations the studented run café opened its doors to the public once again. Now in its fourth year the café has reinvented itself in hopes of attracting more customers and keeping the exisiting ones coming back for more.
