Trustees’
Building
will get
Food Stand
By John Arnold
Opinion Editor
Tired of going all the way
to the Lion’s Den between classes
for that tasty treat?
No longer will you have
scramble between classes for
something to eat on the go because
the Trustees’ building is getting a
kiosk called Cafe a la Carte. This
will be much like the portable
vending food stands seen at the
mall.
Paul Reinecke, director of
food services here at Methodist
College, explained that that his
company Sozexho has plans to
install Cafe a la Carte downstairs
in the Trustees’ building where the
ROTC room was previously
located.
Reinecke mentioned that
because the system is portable it
might be moved to another location
if the planned location proves to be
inconvenient.
The demand for quicker
better snack food comes from both
students and administration alike.
Cafe a la Carte will feature
sandwiches, salads,cold beverages,
a coffee station, and various baked
goods.
A unique feature of Cafe a
la Carte is that students will be able
to pay using cash or credit cards
because Lion’s Den dollars will not
be accepted.
