California Rollin,’ the popular Rochester name in sushi, has opened a new location at 910 Genesee St., near Boulder Coffee and Subway. The location opened on Thursday, March 21 and is cur- rently operating on a 6:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. schedule. This branch of the business offers a slightly new twist. Rather than solely serving sushi, “California Rollin’ Etc.” will offer a wide variety of breakfast sandwiches, omelets, and other items in addition to normal sushi fare.

The grand opening will take place in May, when the full schedule is implemented and the entire sushi bar is available.

With the ongoing increases in college tuition across the nation, students are looking for new ways to manage their financial burden. Often, the most disconcerting aspect of tuition increases is the year-to-year uncertainty — one that is easily absorbed by large universities and not so much by the average undergraduate.

One option to deal with changing tuition rates is a locked-in plan. These plans come in many forms including university sponsored payment plans, tuition freezes, and out- side pre-paid and investment plans including 529 programs. These outside plans come with a considerable deal of flexibility. For one, parents have the freedom to adopt any state’s 529 plan, each of which has its pros and cons. In addition, there are no income restrictions or limitations, so anyone can take up a plan regardless of their financial situation. One can also switch from plan to plan in case of disappointment with any particular plan.

University-sponsored programs often freeze tuition, but at a rate above the current price. Others guarantee no additional increases during a student’s undergraduate study, save alex kurland / staff illustrator for uncontrollable yearly inflation. EDITORIAL observer University President Joel Seligman, however, raised his concerns with the adoption of locked-in plans at UR, saying that “The challenge [we] have is we don’t have a locked- Social issues in social media in rate of inflation.

Curtis Gainey waits. No, he’s not a waiter at a sit-down restaurant. He’s an orange-aproned food worker at The Pit. Therefore, he waits. Sure, he’ll mop the floor or refill the napkin canister when the occasion arises, but until that hap- pens, he waits. Till a student spills his or her drink. Till the condiment dispenser runs out. Till his shift ends and he can clock out and return to his humble two-bedroom house near Irondequoit Bay. Till he can take off the apron for good and focus on his DJing career full time, now limited to nights and weekends. Still, he likes his job at The Pit. Workdays fly by for the 24-year old who spends most of his time near the cash registers chatting with anyone who stops to listen. Gainey’s job may be behind the scenes, but somehow, he manages to stay front and center.
