Panda Express rumors false

Monday, January 27, 2014

Panda Express wont be on the take out menu any time soon. There were rumors that Panda would be replaced after this year but Mike Paulus, director of Dining Services, said there is no truth to the rumor. Not only is Panda a big hit at the University, Paulus said other universities students tend to enjoy it as well. Ive experienced Panda on other campuses, Paulus said. They have consistent and quality products. Dining Services does its best to keep the students satisfied with food choices. The students are the heart of food service and their reactions to the food are the basis of operations. It all starts with the students, Paulus said. I just deal with the food. If Panda starts to decline in profit more than normal, then adjustments will be made, along with surveys to find out the best option to fill the space. If the students dont like something anymore, it will be replaced. Paulus said Dining Services determines how popular each food option is by viewing statistics done throughout the year. I think its popular, the line is usually long, freshman Matty Garlough said. Paulus said Steak Escape is on its way downhill and has been since this past school year. There are some students that think Steak Escape is still busy, but the wait time is the worst part of the experience.

BG24, the student-run broadcast organization, has been moving forward since the damage to its studio in the basement of West Hall. A burst pipe during winter break resulted in damage to several pieces of equipment. Megan Gallagher, general manager for BG24, said the station hosted anchor auditions Sunday night, and will be conducting practice shows this week. She said broadcasting from the interim studio at WBGU will hopefully begin the week after the practice shows, with permanent production returning to West Hall in September. Jonathan Keilholz, executive producer, said while the move was unexpected, its an exciting opportunity, especially for students whose classes are moving to WBGU. We have an opportunity to work with [state-ofthe-art] equipment, Keilholz said. Its gonna be a good learning experience.
