The closing of the Commons Dining Center has been of high concern to Aggies as the semes ter begins. Food Services decided to close the Commons after heavy financial losses during the past semesters. Over the years, student input had been gathered for Commons’ din ing improvements, but after the previously mentioned financial losses, along with health and safety issues, another option had to be cre ated. Past student input will be transferred to the plans for the new facilities upstairs. In turn. Food Services decided to expand the existing upstairs food court for diners. This expansion will include an international line and a more traditional entree line. Student government heard of the decision to close the Commons during the summer and has since been advocating a solution that can best serve the Southside residents and diners at the Com mons in the interim period. Administrators, fac ulty and staff are working from all angles to best meet the expectations of the Southside residents. Students who enjoy having the dining facility in such a central location should take interest in offering their input over the process, trusting their voice will be heard. The new din ing services have the potential to overcrowd during peak meal times, but rest assured that frequent changes will be made to refine the interim process. Students, of course, deserve as many dining options as possible, and once the final phase is complete, it will be nothing shy of excellent. The next option under discussed is whether students will be able to go through the line more than once to fulfill the desire for all-you- can-eat dining. Over the summer. University staff worked hard to create a space that would offer seating for students, but not infringe on ( i We want to be sure these activities remain in place for Southside residents to enjoy. the recreational activities in the Commons. We want to be sure these activities remain in place for Southside residents to enjoy. Student government representatives are serving on the newly created Commons Steer ing Committee. This committee has been tasked with collecting student opinions regard ing the closing, how the new plan is working and future plans Food Services has for the Commons.
