One of the main goals of the project is to link the central business district to University Circle – two of Northeast Ohio’s largest employment centers. While some small businesses have suffered due to the on-going construction of Euclid Avenue, much of the corridor has undergone an expansion sparked by various developers in the region. Private de- Downtown velopers have begun to invest more than $1 billion worth of resources into flipping vacant buildings and unused lots. Much of the investment has focused on revitalizing older buildings and turning them into loft apartments. Midtown, a district along Euclid Avenue, has also undergone substantial growth in part due to the RTA’s increased trans- portation presence. The transportation project is aiming to be completed by October.

We have looked to faculty for help, but trust me, it will not happen. While I do not agree, JCU decision makers have their reasons. Instead, students of JCU should unite and McCain Obama lobby for change. Look, we complain all of the time about the city, but fail to address 47.5% Colorado 47.5% anything. I myself am guilty.

Birthday wishes to our very own Managing Editor

When you see her out tonight make sure to wish her a Happy 21st

Happy Birthday Kate, from all of your co-workers and friends at The Carroll News 17 The Carroll News Editorialwww.jcunews.com September 18, 2008 Editorial Lacking food for thought Students can no longer substitute their meals for food in the Inn-Between after the dining hall closes (late-night swipe). The same is true for the early morning meal sub- stitution at Einstein Bros. Bagels. This came as a surprise and a disappointment to most of the student body. The late night swipe was a popular option that many students made use of last year. The lack of outside options means that the only place

meal swipes can be used is Schott Dining Hall. If the late night swipe is not brought back, then Aramark needs to ex- tend Schott Dining Hall hours because some students have class or practice and can’t grab food before it’s closed.

In order to make up for this inconvenience, Schott’s hours have been extended until 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday. However, Friday through Sunday it closes at 6 p.m. and on Saturday and Sunday it doesn’t open until 11 a.m. That leaves students on their own for a substantial period of time on the weekends. Also, the current format “ makes it nearly impossible to put a 19-meal plan to use since it means that a student would have to make every Cartoon by Joe Hinkel meal at the dining hall throughout the week. The fact that there was such a substantial financial loss last year means that the alternative swipe options probably NOTABLE QUOTABLE will not be brought back, despite the student body’s dis- appointment. It is the responsibility of the University and Aramark to ensure that all students have an opportunity to eat a sufficient amount of meals per day and per week. Meal plans are an expensive purchase and are required for students who live on campus. With the new rules it “See the pain; don’t sanitize the war.” is difficult to get the entire value of the meal plan.
