 i i Dining desires Food. For the average college stu- dent, the word is connected to the thought of nourishment and a chance to spend time with friends. The menu selection and conve- nience compelled most students living on campus to eat at the ARA Dining Service in the Nebraskan. The facility served nearly 2,000 students with meal cards, said Dick Williams, director of dining services. Another heavily used dining faciltiy on campus was the Memorial Student Union Snack Bar, frequented by many students who lived on and off campus. With a good variety of fast-foods of- fered, students in a hurry ordered and received food quickly, and either uti- lized some of the vast seating area or proceeded on their daily routines with food in hand. The Stutheit Lounge, also in the union, attracted students as well as faculty members. However, campus dining was not re- stricted to these facilities. Kitchens equip most residence halls, and in stu- dent’s rooms hot pots and popcorn poppers were often subjected to heavy use. Also vending machines found around campus were often capable of quenching any snacking binges with which many students found them- selves to be afflicted from time to time. Leaving campus for a meal with friends was a particularly enticing no- tion. Although the restaurant options were certainly not limited in Kearney, establishments of the fast-food variety located close to campus catered to students. Favorites in collegiate cuisine, in- cluding hamburgers and french fries, pizza and other Italian foods, Mexican dishes, hot dogs, seafood and subma- rine sandwiches were found with ease. Many students saved their visits to area steak houses for special occa- sions. Students who lived off campus tast- ed the experience of preparing meals on their own. They, too, considered restaurants to be nice options. — Marsha Vickland Linda Gross relaxes and chats with a friend in the Memorial Union before starting her meal.

 New student services complex alleviates headaches For years KSC students have run all over campus to: go through the pro- cess of filing for financial aid, pay park- ing tickets issued by campus security, gripe about dorm facilities to housing, take a learning skills course to help them through that tough class the Aca- demic Advising Center suggested they take, get aspirin from Student Health to relieve the migrain one often gets just before an exam. And of course, at long last, get a job through the place- ment office. All this time in between buildings and offices they have had to dart in and out of the counseling center trying to keep their wits about them. Beginning in January of ’84, stu- dents of KSC will be able to do all of the aforementioned activities and more in one building. With the new student union built the old union will be ren- ovated to become a Student Services Complex. All student services present- ly spread throughout the campus will be centralized in this building for con- venience. The entire building will change and the only area left as it currently is will be the breezeway at the east end. Cen- tralization of these offices marks a change that should aid students not only in getting everything done — but also take some pressure off students’ feet. — David A. York -H 1 Carson
