Known affectionately by patrons as the "Half Ass," the popular gathering, ylace has consistently lost money throughout most of its 12 year history, eccoroing to Associate Housing Iirector Norman Sunstad. S THE HALFWAY Inn is the only one of the housing division's snack bars currently losing money, Sunstad said. 4It needs to break even" to stay open, lie said. Supporters of the East Quad establishment say the administration is Oicking the easy way to cut costs. "For them to cut the Halfway is a minor, detail," said manager Toni Guzzardo. "This is a vulnerable place to cut," Guzzardo said. The musical perfor- inances and poetry readings in the 4nack bar as well as the association with East Quad and the Residential College give the Inn a special flavor, she said. "We are a unique service." "THERE ARE real people here," 4dded regular customer Marty seaman', an, LSA sophomore.

East Quad residents have raised several hundred dollars through benefit events this year, and additional fund- raisers are in the planning stages. Residents recently had the oppor- tunity to allocate portions of their dorm dues for various organizations in the dorm, including the snack bar and the Inn expects to receive several hun- dred more dollars. "IT'S A significant demonstration of community support," said East Quad Building Director Lance Morrow. "The community is voting with its dollars." While housing reports show the Half- way lost $6,000 last year, Guzzardo said the actual loss was about $3,000. She said the official statements do not reflect her inventory on hand and the jobs her staff performed which are now performed by the housekeeping staff. "What we need. . . is about $50 more per day in business," Guzzardo said. "We just need more volume." The snack bar presently takes in about $280 per day. "We'll be doing fine by April," she said. Morrow said it is possible that the Inn can be saved, and he has been urging East Quad residents to patroni'ze the Halfway and publicize it among their, friends. "It's not a phony problem," he said. "It's in our hands." If the financial situation does not im- prove at the Halfway Inn, Sunstad said the snack bar might be converted into a lounge, with food supplied in vending machines. Snack bars in other dorms have been closed due to financial problems, but Sunstad said the existing facilities a't Markley and South Quad are not in danger because they are consistent money-makers. 411HY411ff VL JV~l1 , Y qtly reported that Student orms would be available e LSA Building.
