New eating options are coming to UW-White-
water.
Chartwells Dining Service, which renewed its
contract to provide food services, is planning to
change its restaurants across campus.
Chartwells Marketing Director Ann Wick said
Prairie Street Market will offer new, fresher op-
tions. Smasher’s Burgers will take the space of the
current pizza place offering fresh, never–frozen
burgers, made to order with a choice of toppings.
Prairie Street’s sub shop also will offer fresher
foods, gourmet breads, and fresh salads.
Drumlin Market will feature Hole + Some, a
healthier dining option where everything on the
menu is less than 600 calories.
“It’s fully customizable, vegan and vegetarian
options available each day. It starts off, you pick
the grain, the protein and the fruit/vegetable you
would like,” Wick said. “We’re excited about that.”

UC Administration’s Retail Operations Man-
ager Tom Pellizzi said Esker Dining Hall will again
offer a hot breakfast from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. and be
open for extended hours Mondays through Fridays.
Willie’s Hawk Shop will be removed and Beans
will be enlarged for a more user-friendly coffee and
smoothie shop.
Wick said Chartwells will be working with the
Green Restaurant Association to make Beans
Chartwells’ first green-certified restaurant on cam-
pus.
Wick said the new contract includes revisions
to the dining dollar program. Unused dining dol-
lars will carry over from the fall semester into the
spring semester. Students using dining dollars on
retail items at either Drumlin or Prairie Street Mar-
ket will receive a 15 percent discount, and a 10 per-
cent discount at the University Center’s Graham
Street Café, the Center of the Arts, Hyland Hall and
Food For Thought at Andersen Library.
“I think that’s going to be a positive for stu-
dents. They’re going to like that,” Wick said. “It’s
ESTABLISHED 1901
going to be an exciting year.”
Pellizzi said the process began a little over six
months ago when a committee of five students and
five staff members asked for proposals.
“They took all the information that we had
gathered and came up with a new contract of what
students really wanted and what was beneficial to
campus,” Pellizzi said.
Wick said the new contract offers students more
flexibility in how and when they can use their
meals.
Guest meal use will begin on Thursdays during
the dinner period. Students also will be able to use
two meals during both the lunch and dinner peri-
ods along with one breakfast and one late-night.
“That’s again something that students said that
they wanted,” Wick said.
Students should also expect renovations when re-
turning next fall.
“It’s not just about the foods you serve, but it’s
