GSP dining hall opens with renovations
"They can see the modern, more contemporary service style," she said. "It was a massive change."
The renovated dining hall at Gertrude Sellards Pearson Residence Hall officially opened for business last week with its ribbon cutting ceremony. The original building, built in the 1950s, was "long overdue" for a change, said Sheryl Kidwell, assistant director for the Memorial Unions Residential Dining.
The new cafeteria, the North College Café features eight cuisine stations, including Italian dishes, salads and ethnic made-to-order foods. The cafe focuses on healthy, fresh ingredients prepared in a convenient fashion for students. Kidwell said other universities across the nation have this style dining hall.
Kidwell said the renovations received rave reviews from staff and returning students.
The North College Cafe offers extended service hours, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Kidwell said the café feeds nearly 1,500 students each day.
renovations to the Daisy Hill dining hall, Mrs. E's, will begin this summer. The renovations will feature a similar style to the North College Café.

A new pilot program through the KU Center for Sustainability aims to make Fraser Halt a greener and more efficient building.
Program aims to make Fraser Hall eco-friendly
The pilot is part of the Changing Excellence initiative "designed to address opportunities for energy conservation and the goals of the Campus Sustainability Plan," according to the project proposal.
"There are some obvious financial benefits," Jeff Severin said, the center's director. "But the most obvious is to see a decrease of energy consumption in the building. It's important to be engaged and involve the community, so we encourage them to be greener.
A team is currently assessing the building to develop an action plan. It will also examine the behaviors of people using the building to determine what areas need more education and what needs to be changed. For example, recycling bins
may need to be moved to more convenient locations.
The plot began in mid-September and is scheduled to be completed at the semester's close in December.
Severin said if the pilot is successful, he would like to implement similar projects in different types of buildings like student housing, administrative or buildings with different functions that require different approaches.

Presidential election could come down to two states
ASSOCIATED PRESS
With 43 days left until Election Day, here are insights into today's highlights in U.S. politics.
Until recently, both states had been leaning Republican, although President Barack Obama carried them in 2008 — Ohio by five points, Florida by three.
The two states are the sparkling jewels in the swing-state crown. One or the other — or both — could easily end up deciding the Electoral College winner.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
It could all boil down to Ohio and Florida.
While Obama headed to New York Monday for the U.N. General Assembly, Romney campaigned in Colorado and planned to join running mate Paul Ryan on Tuesday for the last two days of a three-day Ohio bus tour. Obama campaigns in Ohio Wednesday.
No Republican has ever won the presidency without carrying Ohio.
Romney put out his own swing-state commercial blaming an alleged lax stance by Obama toward China for the loss of U.S. manufacturing jobs.
Both candidates cris crossed Florida last week.
Of the 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House, Florida holds 29 and Ohio 18.
Six weeks out, many major polls show a slight Obama advantage, nationally as well as in Florida, Ohio and several other battleground states.
The president's campaign opened a new ad offensive Monday in Ohio with a television spot blasting Romney's remark at a private fundraiser that "47 percent" of Americans don't pay federal income taxes and expect support from the government.
The ad suggests Romney hasnt "come clean" on his own taxes by still refusing to release returns before 2010.
The Romneys did release their 2011 returns Friday, showing they paid a rate of just 14.1 percent on $13.7 million in income. That's below the rate paid by millions of middle-class wage earners.
