The modern SUB carries not only snaik machines, but a food court complete with a fast food restaurant. It houses the [ i!ivei-sity B(»(;i store, t.ie mail room, the campus dry cleaners, several lounge areas, a cof- tei Mind, Office of University Events, the Academic Resource Center and Career Semces. The second tloor of the University Center contains the Performance Center, the Loft, ban- quet halls, 01Tu;e of Student Life, and Student Government Offices. It ' s no wonder that everj ' busy student has to make a daily trip to the SUB. In November, the Dioratna staff conducted a survey during the prime time hours of the SUB traffic. Hundreds of students completed a written sui-vey which included the following questions: 1. How often do you hang out in the GUC? 2. How do you feel about the smoking ban in the GUC? 3. Do you watch T.V. in the GUC? 4. Rate the products from the food court on a scale of 1-10. 5. Do you eat in the GUC, just visit with friends or both? 6. Do you use all of the services offered in the GUC? 7. Do you buy products from the Wired Lion (coffee stand)? After reviewing the surveys, the Diorama determined the following results; Most stu- dents visit the SUB eveiy day. The people who took the survey were divided among sev- eral issues. Many longed for the days of little gold ashtrays on every table which meant smoking was allowed. One student questions the university ' s motive of exposing smokers to the harsh elements of an Alabama winter. She says, We have to risk getting pneumonia just to have a smoke. The most popular tele dsion show to watch in the SUB during lunch was Days of Our Lives, known to avid viewers simply as Days, The average rating for the food court was a 7.3. Most students agreed that their favorite food experience is from the deli. People agree that Sissy Balentine is the highlight of their lunch time. Sissy works in the deli and pre- pares sandwiches while brightening everyone ' s day with her frieiuily hello ' s. Other stu- dents believed that the food was often greasy and overpriced. Most students take advan- tage of the services offered in the University Center, especially the ARC where computers are available. The Wired Lion received some of the funniest comments in the survey. Students had a love hate relationship with the clerk of the Wired Lion named Jeff. Jeff was adored by many students, but some students were unable to afford the luxury of flavored coffee. Whether you ate there, relaxed there, or typed a paper there; the University Center was always there and always ready to serve you, the student.
