Food For Thought It is disappointing to see the businesses in Slavin mini-mall choosing to close earlier in the evening. As both Raymond and Alumni cafete­ rias are closed by 7 o’clock, the options for stu­ dents to eat after dinner hours are minimal. For students on or off the meal plan, the mini-mall offers an alternative if one misses or needs a meal. Unfortunately, this alternative is being limited by the decreasing hours. It is not simply a matter of convenience, Slavin’s mini-mall is our student union, an es­ sential feature of Providence College. What college campus does not have a safe meeting place that provides students with basic necessi­ ties? We hope that the decrease in hours is not a preview of what is to come. To let Slavin’s mini­ mall dwindle away before any possible changes LETTERS TO THE EDITOR are implemented next year by Sodexho, would be unfortunate.
