CORNER STAFF SEEKS INPUT
(As submitted by Corner staff)
A small group of students are working
together to keep the Corner in control
of students. Housing is discussing the
possibility of turning the Corner over
to SAGA next year. \~e are taking a poll
of students in Housing to find out what
their suggestions are for next year. In
the past, Third World students have
indicated that they don't feel comfortable
in the Corner. We'd like to work on that
problem, but we need your help. Suggestions
so far have included reserving the Corner
once a week for a-n ethnic food night,
and incorporating ethnic food into the
menu. If you would like to work with us
or have any suggestions, please get in
touch with any Corner staff person, at
866-5009. Ask for Kara, Judith~ Nathan,
or Beth.
