Good idea. Establishing an alternative “quick” line or serving station that allows students to grab sandwiches and then sit down might alleviate the press of people and cut down on the wait time. I also wonder whether Dining might set up such a station on the Ross or Proctor terrace while the weather is still nice and people can eat outside. That could help with the crowds, and it would be fun. I will pass along both of these ideas to Dining for consideration.

And I will try to get up to Ross or Proctor for lunch next week to check out the situation for myself. I am teaching a new class this term and have been using the lunch hour to prepare, but after this week I should have more flex time.

Right now, the servery is packed in both Proctor and Ross and we can’t get food quickly. There is not a space crunch in terms of seats; it is just getting one’s food. Right now, if you don’t get there before 12:15 or after 1:10, forget it.

As a first-year, I have to wonder whether the crunch at lunch from 12:25 to 1 dies down when people’s schedules get settled, but right now, everyone on campus seems to be eating lunch at the same time.

Any thoughts? Want to come up and join a bunch of us to see this? We saw President Liebowitz yesterday at Ross and so he must be aware of this. You might want to come, too.
