This year the Towers lobby emerged as a new gathering place for students. It was a place to read the paper, or discuss the psychological significance of Peanuts. It was a place to watch the football team play Syracuse on television. You could sit there and cheer as Fred Mazurek or Barry McKnight ripped off yardage. And it becomes a place to share disappointment when the football team lost, 21-6. In the quieter hours, the Towers lobby became a place to relax, or to discuss problems, or to sip coffee . . . or to sleep.

The Towers cafeteria is to resident students as the Tuck Shop is to Greeks. For most, it’s a place to meet your friends and talk about a poor professor, a rough test, or an uneventful date. It’s also a place to complain. Institutional food is a scapegoat at all schools . . . it’s almost a tradition . . . and Saga Foods Service is not an exception. Saga also provides several unique features in its tradition. There are Saturday night Butt steaks, Sunday night “make-it-yourself sundaes,” and the ever-present alternatives of peanut butter and jelly.
