The Student Commissary, which
begad in a two car garage behind
a residence on Houston Street,; is
coming into its own as A&M’s
answer to the high cofct of living.
The Commissary’s new quarters
in the north-central wing of An
chor Halt are small, put student
manager Carey Clark has been
able to stock a variety of the
staple groceries found an this area,
although no perishables are hand-
Iqd. ! jj j.
“There are two Reasons why
meats and vegetables aren’t stock
ed,” Clark said, “the first reason
is because there isn’t enough space I
and secondly, if there was enough 1
space, the Commissary couldn’t
handle perishables on the extrente-. ![
ly low margin of profit it operates j ;
°n,” .1 | J
The Commissary is now open'
from 4 to 6 every afternoon, Mon
day throtigh Friday, and from 1 j
to 6 on Saturday afternoon. Clark |
points oqit that these hours may
have to be shortened during the
summer semesters, since the Com
missary depends on high volume
and quick turnover, two factors
which will be affected by decreas
ed summer enrollment.
“It hap been a long, tough grind
to get the Student Commissary
established and to get its roots in
the ground,” Clark said, “but now
it looks: like the Commissary is
here to stay as long as the situa
tion demands and the students)
want it.’f
