Monday, Feb. I-, 1993 The Daily Collegian News/Op — 3 Longer Pit hours increase revenue Request results in anexpa.$300per jvno overhead By Mike Palmer Staff writer Longer Pit hours as a result of student demands have increased the revenues of Food Services by $300 per day with no additional overhead. ■ Jim Prince, interim* director of Food Services, said that changing the hours of the coffee shop, known as the Pit, in the basement of the University Student Union, was in response to student requests and was suggested by the student-domi¬ nated Food Advisory Board. Last November, the hours officially changed from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. to the current hours of 10:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday. Prince said that no additional personnel were required to effect the change. It was all accomplished by shift changes. Accordingly, the . $300 per day is all additional rev¬ enues. He cautioned that this does not squate to more profit, as the Pit is Mill losing money, just not as much. - The evening menu is the same as during the day with various hot meals and snacks. Hot meals were not previously available to students and faculty in the evening except at the Bucket, which has adifferent- atmosphere, Prince said. "The evening hours have not presented any additional security problems for the Pit," Prince said, "as it is still the slowest place on campus as far as action is con¬ cerned,." The basement area is open on weekends for the student study, although the Pit is closed. Prince said that some vandalism and graf¬ fiti problems have occurred on weekends. Several employees of the Pit in¬ dicated that it was not a hardship working the later hours. Journalism Professor George Flynn said the new hours were great for about a month. However, he found the new non-smoking policy to be a major deterrent to 4 patronizing the Pit. Food Service employees said there have been many complaints about the new non-smoking policy and thafapetitjon was being circu¬ lated. $ Prince said that the Food Service Advisory Board meets monthly and the next meeting is scheduled for Feb. 25 at noon in the West Cafe behind the Country Store. Prince has been with Food Ser¬ vices at.CSUF for 18 years. With recent budget cuts, hr has recently assumed jobs previously .done by three different people under the title of interim director' of Food Services. Bookstore, From Page 1 price. Kennel then marks up the used books to 75 percent of the current selling price. • „ "I'd prefer to have more used books than new books because stu¬ dent,want used books," said Bartel, adding that it is to mutual advantage. The student saves money while the bookstore makes more money by selling a used book than a new one. At Fresno Pacific College, a pri¬ vate institution with an enrollment of 1,500 students, the bookstore (does not deal in used bookstand atsooperates under a 20 percent profit margin. According to Richard Wiebe, bookstore manager, students in¬ terested in selling used books do so directly. "A survey shows 80 percent of what students learn is from text¬ books, so relative to what you learn, it's a bargain," Wiebe said. Last semester, Associated Stu¬ dents, Inc. sponsored a Book Ex- \ Column, From page 1 and money into such community projects besides the expansion of Bulldog Stadium. Boys and Girls Clubs, commu¬ nity centers and other interven¬ tion programs would benefit from Fresnans who have" the. experience kids can learn from. Many of them believe they are doing the community proud by buying their red V-neck Bulldog sweaters and season tickets, to Fresno State sports. The real "activists" may ~" complain about development near the San Joaquin River or having water meters installed. The new city hall was met with outrage. After all, why spend $10 million on a city building when there is such a glaring need for a minor league baseball stadium? By ignoring Fresno's social and crime issues, its residents are compounding the problems. The main reason kids steal cars and paint walls is because they have nothing better to do, and no one lets them know they have the potential to be successful. Instead of buying a $250,000 sky box, why 'don't Valley cor¬ porations buy some seats t'^r un¬ derprivileged kids who, other¬ wise, probably would be out committing crimes on Friday nights? Instead of writing these kids off, why don't we realize that conquering the problem of youth crime would mean a lot more to this community than a Freedom Bowl victory over USC? . change Program where students were able to list books for sale.
