Known to the University of La Verne community as a place for eating convenience, The Spot is attempting to present new ideas and better food for its customers.

As the school year comes to a close, it has been discovered that several individuals, particularly those employed within the University of La Verne, have remained unidentified. Many people are recognized as familiar faces, yet not truly distinguished by name.

Students may be surprised to see the newest decal gracing the Spot. Located above the cash register, a full color sign advertises meal deals that come complete with golden french fries and ice cold drinks. This improvement to the Spot, however has just become another one of Aramark's latest scams, with the already expensive food items hiked up beyond what many students can afford.

Calling to order its first full board meeting in the Howell Board Room at 9 a.m. last Saturday, the Board of Trustees discussed and voted on several issues affecting the University of La Verne campus, from strategic planning to the introduction of a complete co-ed aquatics program.

To write another editorial about food services at La Verne may seem unfair. It may seem counterproductive. It may, most of all, seem repetitive. But it is necessary.

Whatever happened to the Spot renovations promised last semester, in which the eating area would be expanded and a buffet style layout would be initiated? It was going to be bigger and better with more food items available. The menu would expand and the staff size would increase.
