flsSversity VOL. 1, NO. 5 UCIIRVINE OCTOBER 10. 1968 The Snack Bar Saga by LESLIE LINCOLN Griping students and live guitar music spread out in the gaping space in the 1st floor of the Gateway Commons Tuesday at noon, as people started using the popular old snack bar areaonce again. Meanwhile, the ASUCI Senate had the night before taken over the negotiations on establising a new snack bar in the cafeteria area of the second floor, since Chancellor Daniel Aldrich's adminis- tration decided this summer to take out the snack bar and use the1st floor for student government expansion. Ex-student senator John Krall, who with Rollin Buchanan had called the "lunch-in," said that his purpose wasn't affected by the fact that there would someday be a snack bar on the second floor. "We thought,' he said, "that sudents needed to realize how im- portant it was to have a place to get together and meet - especially the freshmen, who just assume that this university is just a place where students wanderaroundonpaths, and you meet them, maybe, if youhappen to have a class withthem." "This area is ideal as a snack bar,' John went on. "The stu- dent government shouldn't accept a compromise. Ihope thatRon (Ridgle, ASUCI President) will use all the pressure he has to re- fuse to move his offices downstairs.' Students will get together in the empty area again on Friday at noon and whenever they feel 'like it from then on. "It's not something organized,' said John. It's just people bringing en- tertainment, bringing their friends." He hopes that "allthe people who feel they were kicked out of the snack bar" willcome. When construction of offices begins in this area, "we'll just have to find somewhere else." At the Student Senate meeting Monday night, Dave Hufford,one of the founders of the Ad Hoc Committee that was working to get the snack bar back, turned the responsibility for the matter over to the Senate, because it is "a much more representativebody." The Senate, to make the 2nd floor relocation agreementmore formal, recorded in its minutes that Chancellor Aldrich stated that the new snack bar should "fulfill the same services as the old snack bar." The Chancellor, who was at the meeting to answer questions, said he had refused to sign an agreement presentedto him by the Ad Hoc Committee through the Dean of Students' office. He said that when asked to agree to something that he felt he had already agreed to four times, "Frankly,Iwas frosted." At the Senate meetinghe reiterated what he had stated to a meet- ing with the Ad Hoc Committee last week: "Isimplyindicatedto Dean Lawrence and to all others concerned that there was no idea of removing the snack bar from this building. There was a re- locationof it.. .' Dave Hufford pointed out that the Dean of Students office is the students' major channel of information from the Administration, and he repeated that when he talked to Dean LawrenceandRon Ridgle' before school started about the disappearment of the Snack bar, Iasked them if there was going to be a replacement, and I got a negative response. They toldme that it was indeed regretable but there was nothing that could be done." The Chancellor remarked: "Obviously there was a great gap in the information that the Dean of Students and the President of the student body had withrespect to the replacement of the snack bar." He conceded that "It doesn't make much sense, perhaps, to deal with items during the summer unless we recognize that those who are about to deal with them have been empoweredto do so." He pledged more concern with student participation in the future,and said, "I have learned from this snack bar incident."
