,, _ The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, October 5, 1983 - Page 3 " Opening day. for North Campus eatery delayed By THOMAS HRACH Engineering students who make the trek to North Cam- pus for classes will finally get a place to eat - a few weeks late, that is. The Common Denominator, the new snack bar under construction in the lower level of the North Campus Commons building, was scheduled to open when students arrived in September, according to Commons Facilities ,Assistant Molly Friedrichs. But construction delays for- ced University officials to push back the opening until mid-October. THE SNACK BAR, which is scheduled to open Oct. 17, will serve sandwiches, soups. and salads and will provide seats for either eating or studying. "Our goal was to have inexpensive hand-hold foods which can easily be eaten between classes," Friedrichs said. The University began renovating the lower floor of the commons building for the snack bar in June because of the recent move of two more engineering departments to Nor- th Campus. The move has brought an additional 1,300 students from Central Campus, many of whom cannot eat in Bursley's cafeteria because they do not have University meal con- OLF tracts. The only other cafeteria area on North Campus is in the art school. WHILE THE commons building already houses a restaurant on its upper floor, University officials have noted that the restaurant's limited and more expensive menu does not attract many students. The renovations will cost the University an estimated $350,000, which will come from University funds designated for North Campus improvements. In addition to some structural changes, the money will provide for "butcher-block" tables and new carpeting. THE COMMONS building lower level also will contain a new copying center, The Clone Booth, and continue to house the University Cellar's North Campus store. Engineering students who have classes on North Cam- pus said they were pleased the University is providing a convenient place to eat, despite the $350,000 in renovation costs. "I'm not sure, the new snack bar is worth spending a lot of money on," said engineering junior Rick McKenna. "But certainly there's a real need for it." Bradley Moore, a graduate student in the architecture school, designed the snack bar and engineering graduate student Michael Call named the eatery in a contest this summer. Daily roto by TOD WO Engineering students will finally have some "food for thought" when construction of the North Campus snack bar is completed this month. The eatery's opening, initially scheduled for September, has been delayed until Oct. 17 s Student apathy hurts Project Community By PAMELA MAHONEY A University program that urges volunteers to "Have a Heart - Lend a Hand" is suffering from a lack of helping hands. Project Community, which offers students academic credit for com- munity sevice jobs attracted only 248 participants this term compared to ap- proximately 275 volunteers winter term, according to director Jeffrey Howard. INITIATED by student activists during the 1960s, Project Community offers jobs in areas ranging from prison-inmate projects to consumer advocacy. But times have changed, and so have students. Fewer are as willing to trade their time for academic credit because many already have paying jobs. "Students are finding it necessary to take on jobs and no longer have the time it takes to be involved in the project," Howard said. STUDENTS today also concentrate on activities they think will prepare them for graduate school or a job, Howard said. "Ironically, they don't see it (Project Community) as the op- portunity it is to help them with their goals," he said. Student coordinator Phyllis Zarron, an .LSA junior, said she feels many students don't perceive Project Com- munity as a pre-professional program because it does not fit the traditional, conservative classroom image. "They may be concerned that it won't look as good as an 'academic' class on a transcript," she said. HOWARD SAID that enrollment statistics back up the idea that students want work they can include on a resume - the most popular programs are those related to the medical or legal fields. These programs showed no decrease in the number of participants, he added. The drop in student participation may be evidence that Project Com- munity needs to look for new and dif- ferent projects to atract student atten- tion, said Howard, who has been the program's director for six weeks. Howard said that he is optimistic he will be able to increase the number of volunteers in Project Community win- ter term.
