Residents from other halls ate lunch at Selleck, causing overcrowding and long lines. "Last year, the problem was that peo ple came in right after classes got out, while Selleck residents got the shaft be cause they took time out to drop off their books in their rooms," Cavanaugh said. Doug Rix, assistant director of hous ing for food service, said about 900 stu dents eat lunch at Selleck every weekday, 300 to 400 of them are from other halls. He said Selleck has a seating capacity of about 300. Cavanaugh said the priority policy has not been needed yet because the weather is still nice and students are making the trip to their own halls for lunch. "We put it into effect a little early so people will get used to the idea," she said. "We didn't want them to think we started doing this instantly. "When it gets cold, things will probably start picking up," Cavanaugh said. Hanna Hess, Selleck food service mana ger, said the winter rush hasn't hit yet, so anyone will be allowed to eat during the priority times as long as there is not a line. Cavanaugh said residents from other halls will probably only have to wait a few extra minutes to eat, if at all. The lack of- seating during winter months is intensified when students from other halls take up seats with their coats and books, according to Cavanaugh. How ever, she said she could not see a workable solution to that problem. "There's no coat check, and even if we did have one it probably wouldn't be used that much," she said. "In the memo I sent out (to other halls), it was suggested that they put their books on the floor, Cavanaugh said. "It might not help that much, but books ly ing on a table next to you take up space that could be used by someone else." Rix said that a coat check and lockers were options discussed last semester, but were ruled out because of the cost. "Both had dollar implications we weren't too excited about," he said. The scheduled opening of a fast-food line at Cather-Pound-Neihardt after Thanksgiving break may alleviate some of the pressure on Selleck, according to Rix. CURlMAS g Tmm sSSl SALE gHsoM i. 1 .
