Vanl lump Not all Students were as euphoric about the Student Center addition. Many students questioned the wisdom at opening ct new, multimillionidollar Student Center addition in the light at recent budget Cuts that decreased other stu- dent x'ervtreg and cut back severely on student tindncidl .1id. Student Center Director Frank Harris explamed that the money to l9u1lel the addition was appmpriatvd tor that pun pose in 1077 when a 9tudent reterendum was passed, in- treming the student activity tee to pay tor the building Bmmla were subsequently isauvd, and Lonstruction began in the nprmg 01 1981. As computer science senior Betsy King related, ll think uls good that they went ahead and used the money now instead of waiting until lt tthe addittonl would iugt cust more. Extra meeting space was a major plus in the Student Center addition, Harris added, Burhele however, came tor- xmrd with what many students were grumbling. I Found thul a lot 01 times last year there were rooms vacant in the Student Center in the evenings, he said, Harris agreed that there were many days when the old Student Center was 'tbooked up completely at peak hours, and X'Otl couldn't get a room 111 here it you had to. It was thaw lximl 0t le'VE when the five new meeting rooms on the second tloor ot the addition came to the rescue. MI was hoping the addition would in- rlztde a new cafeteria to help alleviate the problem of crowded cafeterias at lunch- time, But 3 thleNlUI'e and meeting: mums were not all that the new Student Center addition uttered.

$4,; Good food and a convenient location make the Tolly H0 4-Hour Treat here wasnlt a lot of spaces to sit I down, and the line usually ex- tended out the door onto Euclid Avenue, depending on what time of the day or night it was. And while the service might have seemed kind of slow at times, anyone that said that the Tolly Ho restaurant behind Kennedy Book Store and Tony's Are cade didn't have any atmosphere would simply not be telling the truth. Tolly Ho's proximity to the Uni- versity's central campus and north campus residence halls were just two reasons why it was a favorite all- night eatery. One could drive past The Ho, as it was affectionately known to its patrons, as late as 3:30 am. and see a line 10 feet long After a late night at any of the more popular drinking establishments surrounding the UK campus, many people couldn't call it a night unless they put away at least one Ho-with- cheese and hash browns. The heartbeat of Tolly Ho. On its busiest nights of Friday and Saturday was a 38-yeareold Fugazzi College student named Donna Fyffe. She was the first person that a lateenighter saw when placing an order. Fytte had been working fulletime nights at the Ho since January of 1979 and has worked straight through ever since then, it seems, she said. She worked part-time before that. Fytte said the main draw of the Ho has got to be the atmosphere and the fact that the people that work here remember the kids names. It's a lot more personal than a McDonald's or Burger King, she said. Plus we put up with a lot of noise and rowdie nessi Fytfe told of one night that two men came in together and sat down in the back dining room and got into a tight Hand bloodied each other up pretty good, she said. But then they walked out of here arm in arm. But fights were normally the excep- tion at the Ho and not the rule. It was almost as though the people at Tolly Ho had a common bond. i'The food is good here, too, said Fytte. She said the most popular order would be a Tolly Ho with cheese ta quarterpound cheesebur- gerl, fries and a medium Pepsi Business at the Ho many times de- pended on the what happened to be going on at UK during the day. The Friday night of the Sigma Nu beer blast, I didn't think it was ever going to end, Fytte said, referring to the' long, late-night lines. 'And the night that UK won the NCAA tbasketballl Championship tin 1978i was the busi- est night I think I've ever seen here. Fyffe said that there was talk one time of moving to another larger lo- cation, But then it wouldn't be the HO,U she said. It would lose all its charm, It's nice and small right newt She also said that she does not like the references that some people made about Tolly Ho being a greasy spoon. In fact, I resent it when some- one orders a grease burger, she said. 'lWe take a lot more time and care in preparing our burgers. I don't think our burgers are greasy at allX' So what keeps Donna Fyffe work- ing the late hours, having to put up with rowdie, sometimes less-than- sober students? It's the people, the kids, she said. They keep me young And in exchange, Donna Fyffe and Tolly Ho kept the students from going hungry late at night. eSteven W. Lowther A
