make the sandwich you
like. Some of student’s
favorite foods are avail
able: chicken wings,
cheese sticks, and quesa-
dillas. They still accept
cash and credit cards.
“We changed hours
this year by reviewing sales from days
and times last year. We felt like we were
missing out on the coffee hours opening at
9 a.m. and wanted to capture those people
getting coffee off campus. Also, we wanted
to help participate in campus life with the
help of Mark Adamsonby involving week
end activities for students to keep people
on campus; therefore adding Friday and
Saturday late night hours.” says Bridget
Vess, Director of Food Services at BC.
If you like Wii, Nintendo or Playstation
3, those are located in Coltrane to use any
time, with the addition of winning prizes
during poker or trivia nights.
Starting Monday, October 12, Coltrane is
starting a contest for those who can create
a name and/or logo design for a sign at the
Underground. This area has had several
different names from the Underground,
Food Court, Java City, Coffee Shop and BC
Diner You can design a logo or give some
ideas. Gifts will include DB for Coltrane
and a gift card to the campus Bookstore
for $100.
Some students have expressed their
concern about not opening at lunch. “This
fall semester is a trial period with new
hours, so all feedback will be considered
as we re-evaluate our operational hours”,
comments Millie Heidenreich, Catering
Manager at BC.
There will
be an ARA-
RMARK rep
resentative in
Myers Lobby
on October
12, 2009 that
will be doing
a question
naire to get
feed back on
Coltrane, in
order to have
the desired times for all students including
coffee hours, lunch hours, and weekend
hours.
Commuter Meal Plans have also been
asked about. Currently commuters can
have a dechning balance instead of a spe
cific number of meals. They receive the
same discount rate as the residential stu
dents with Breakfast $3.50, Lunch $4.50,
and Diimer $5.50.
The food services at BC are asking for
