We've all read the extensive articles in the DO over the years that highlight all the things that are wrong with our humble student center. I'd like to take this opportunity to remind you that there is some good to it:
Bookstore:
Forget even thinking about buying another jersey for a team you don't play for. Head downstairs and straight to the newsstand. The bookstore's selection of magazines is surprisingly sweet- personal favorites of mine include The Fader and New York Magazine (seriously, read this magazine). Also to my surprise was the addition of VenusZine, a longtime favorite of mine. Pretty sure it arrived in the bookstore because a friendly employee overheard me gushing about it and offered to start carrying it! Look at what influence we have, students! Rise up and request your favorite magazine!
Food Court:
Sal's Birdland scares the crap out of me. But luckily the food court has (recently?) expanded their random foods selection with an "organics" or maybe "all-natural" section, which is set apart from all the other food by a fall-foliage garland. Just think about all the granola you will soon get to eat! Also I noticed huge bottles of hot sauce in a (new?) stand close to the check-out line. The sign adjacent to it suggests that these huge hot sauce bottles are "grab and go!" I would really like to get some facts on how many of these grab and go hot sauce bottles have been sold... and why.
