            Where To Eat In The Union

by Anne Dolan
Renovation of the Memorial Union ground floor Commons and 
kitchen area began last month. The former food court closed 
Nov. 15 and since then, the Cardinal Room (main floor) has 
served three meals daily in a cafeteria format. The 
Maintenance Shop also is open all day to help accommodate 
diners and a lunch-only option, food carts offering 
sandwiches and beverages, is available in The B-12  Cafe 
(Room B-12, formerly a billiards room) and the northwest 
study lounge (first floor).  Vending machines have been moved 
to The B-12 Cafe and are accessible from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Onion's convenience store has been moved temporarily to the 
space formerly occupied by The Outlet at the east end of the 
ground floor. The ATM machine formerly in the Trophy Tavern 
has been moved to the northwest study lounge.

The north access to the Memorial Union parking ramp is 
closed; access is from Lincoln Way only, but pedestrians 
still can enter the Memorial Union from the east doors.

DEMOLITION PARTY
A demolition party for the Memorial Union ground floor will 
be held at 3 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 7, in the Commons 
construction area. There will be refreshments, music, hard 
hats and the opportunity to help knock down a wall.

In addition to a new food court area and renovated kitchen, 
the project will include renovation of the student 
organization space, new restrooms and an elevator. The 
kitchen and food court work is scheduled to be completed in 
January 1996. The student office work will begin during 
spring semester, after student organizations have been 
temporarily relocated.
