Pizza place will be expensive

Aramark opened new food facilities recently in the Reitz Union, one of which tripled sales records from the one it replaced. They knew the novelty of these new places was going to attract people, even though the prices were comparatively high. They knew this, but they didn't lower their prices to the state's standards until people started complaining. Why did they agree to lower their prices so fast and easy? Is it because they know they were charging too much? Now Aramark seems to be keeping up with its business strategy. Aramark is advertising that it is going to open a new pizza place, which there are none of right now in the food court. One must wait and see how high the prices for the first couple of weeks are going to be. I wouldn't doubt they are going to take advantage of the absence of a pizza place around the food court and start with higher prices until customers start noticing again.

Stickers encourage voters

Friday's Alligator contained a four-paragraph diatribe concerning the distribution of "I Voted" stickers during Student Government elections. How can one be so petty? We have students trying to ensure the safety of the community, to save language programs and to allocate money to student groups, and you go after stickers? Those of us in Greek houses know that it is not "coercion" that goes on, but rather encouragement to vote in SG elections. With such a small percentage of students voting in these elections, it is shameful that you resent Greek participation. Sen. Gary Benedix, you seem pleased with yourself that you "have it all figured out."
