MegaBYTES primed for freshmen
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrase “student council”.
Summary
- This News-Letter article reports on the redesign of MegaBYTES, its new ordering system, menu and student reactions.
- The News-Letter reported that a dining ad-hoc committee made up of Student Council students initiated the change and that Sodexho designed the new layout.
- The paper reported that the touch-screen system allows students to customize orders; Dining Services Director Jean Devito said it can confuse students and causes a three-to-five-minute wait, but keeps food freshly prepared.
- The article lists grill meals, pizza and salads, including a buffalo chicken combo for $5.49, a steak-sub combo for $3.65 and a cheeseburger combo for $4.39.
- The reporter writes that freshman students praised the sofas, TVs and relaxed atmosphere, while Claire McAndrew said she wanted healthier choices.
- The article adds that upperclassmen had mixed reactions: Katie Schumann said food took longer to get, and Scott Polackwich said chicken tenders had risen from three dollars to almost six.
