More Places To Go New Businesses Open In Indiana Shopping, parking, eating and getting a tan have all be- come more convenient for lUP students. The on-campus im- provements and renovations, along with the off-campus mini-mails have made life easi- er for everyone at lUP and the surrounding Indiana area. Probably the most notice- able addition is the mini-mall located near the HUB. The Uni-Mart is a grocery conven- ience store that caters to late- night snackers and cafeteria refugees. They carry every- thing from magazines to meat- ball sandwiches. They are eqipped with a microwave for those who just can ' t wait or who are on the run. Brody ' s — on Campus is also located in the mini-mall. Man- ager Lisa Slicker says that the location of the store is a great advantage. The store is consid- ering expanding their mer- chandise to include men ' s clothing, as they started out carrying only women ' s items. Miss Slicker is very optimistic that the completion of other stores in the Mall, as well as the newly renovated parking will boost business in the near future. Also located in the mini- mall is The Midnight Sun, a tanning and beauty salon. The shop offers manicures as well as tanning booths for the ap- pearance-conscious student. For those interested in fun and games, Aladdin ' s Castle offers video entertainment in the form of Pac-man and other video pals. As of the fall of 1986, the mini-mall is uncompleted, and awaiting the addition of a Wendy ' s as well as various oth- er specialized shops. The Grant Street Mini-Mall is also great for lUP students. Even first-semester freshmen are by now are familiar with Domino ' s located in the Mall. The Country ' s Best Yogurt (TCBY) carries several frozen yogurt concoctions, including shakes and fruit smoothies. On campus, the university is involved in three major pro- jects. Construction started in July 1986 for a co-generation plant. The plant will produce electricity and heat for various University buildings, as well as steam for the present heating system and air conditioning. The present steam distribution system is being up-graded throughout the campus, espe- cially in the North Quad. The new system will be better insu- lated and more efficient. A third project on campus is the construction of a pedestri- an mall near the HUB. The primary result will be expand- ed parking near the HUB and removal of traffic in front of Pratt Hall and the HUB. The university is also en- gaged in approximately 25 oth- er renovation and improve- ment projects, ranging from asbestos removal to roof repairs. Cycads, in the Greenery, be- tween Indiana and Homer City, is new to the over-21 crowd. Although somewhat more than the average student can afford, the nightclub offers an unusual atmosphere. lUP Sohpmore transfer Mike Patti says it ' s a classy place. Indiana now has more to of- fer, both to the campus and community, in the form of shopping and dining and dancing. -Veronica Crowe Probably the most noticeable addition is the mini-mall located near the HUB. ■ TCBV 1 i 9v H I The Countr ' s Best Yogurt car- ries several fro en vocurl cvincoc- Thcsc new apartments near cam- pus will be ci n enieni ■ • ' ' ' residents.
