...campaign. There is no question that HUDS has been on a crusade lately to bombard students with advertisements of improvements and extras, attempting to overshadow the more unsavory truth that they have been increasingly burdened with budgetary constraints. While we’re generally in favor of spicing up menus with seasonal snacks, the over-promotion of seasonal menus and themes seems stale in the face of continued cutbacks. After the barrage of HUDS’ public relations binge, it seems natural that many busy students might have been able to temper survey scores...

The Price of Membership Call it the E.U. diet: soaring food prices in Poland since it joined the Union on May 1 have forced some people to alter their menus. Beef prices shot up by 21.7% in the second quarter, thanks to demand for cheap Polish meat in other E.U. states. Carb lovers suffered, too: rice prices rose 27.7% after Poland implemented E.U. tariffs on imports from countries such as Vietnam. Food and oil have driven overall inflation to almost double...
