So you had commuter students who wanted more options than eating at the dining halls.
You had juniors and seniors
who were on campus and didn't think that
those were the options they wanted for them, whether they liked them, didn't like them, wanted some more diversity, whatever it was.
We thought that you could magically link everything together and have one magic card that did everything. Now you can.
But it was going to be such a difficult thing.
You see a lot more-. Now today you see a lot more-. While there still is, in this program,
there still is an off campus program where students can put cash on-or there was.
The result was something came of it. Students could put cash on a card, their parents could recharge it, whatever it was,
and you just needed this one card to eat off campus,
But again, we were missing the piece between their business model and the business model of university dining
and we didn't marry those very well.
Yeah, and there are always-.
Dining issues, residence hall issues are always things that any student body president is going to be
dealing with and going to have great ideas about how to make them happen.
I just saw...that they're apparently going to extend the hours in the Atrium,
which is something that we talked about for years.
I mean for years and years, and that kind of stuff happens years down the road
and certainly none of us are taking credit for it but we all harped on it
as something that we would love to see happen,
So we finally figured out how to do some of it
but big picture wise we were off. We were wrong.
Great ideas, point a, point b,
not necessarily in the middle figuring out how to get from one to the other, but good ideas.
