Mama mia! Union has pizza
Pizza Hut Express offers students long-awaited treat
By Ashley Miller Kansan staff writer
This year, students will be able to stop and smell the pizza without leaving campus.
The Pizza Hut Express, located in the Kansas Union, opened Aug. 15, said Jay Glatz, manager of food services for the Kansas and Burge Unions.
The new food station is part of the Hawk's Nest, located on the third level of the Union, and is open everyday.
He said the Union and its employees run and control the Express and the point of including the Express was to increase the variety of food the Union offers.
"I think it will bring more people to the Nest because it offers students a little something extra," Glatz said.
The Express sells cheese, pepperoni and supreme personal pan pizzas for $2.40 to $2.80. Breadsticks cost $1.25.
Glatz said the Union decided more than a year ago to put a Pizza Hut Express in the building because they didn't offer pizza at any of the other snack bars on campus.
"The response has been real positive," Glatz said.
Glatz said the concept of putting brand name restaurants on college campuses had been around for two or three years. Last year, Union Square, also located on the third level of the Union, introduced a TCBY station with an Oscar Mayer grilling station.
"Students want name brand items," he said.
The Union does not have any plans right now to start another name brand station, Glatz said, and he does not want the Union to be a food court.
Tom Field, Marietta, Ga., senior, was pleased with the new station.
"I love pizza," Field said. "Most students do, so I think it's a great idea to put one in the Union."
Cris Aiken, assistant supervisor of the Pizza Hut Express, said business was steady the first day of classes.

New hires at minority affairs office
By Nathan Olson Kansan staff writer
Three new faces can be seen at the Office of Minority Affairs this semester.
Julius Williams replaced Enrique Torres as assistant director, Laurie Ramirez replaced Verna Austin as office manager and Lavonda Key replaced Johnnie Young as office receptionist.
Williams, who began yesterday, previously worked as a counselor at Washington University in St. Louis. Torres left to pursue a legal career in Texas.
Williams will coordinate the Students Together Excelling as Peers program, which helps minority freshmen acclimate themselves into the University.
"The program helps students adjust to college through peer mentoring," Williams said.
Williams said he hoped to use his experience to improve the office's services.
"My goals would be to be as innovative as possible while maintaining and improving on what we have," he said.
Ramirez replaced Verna Austin, who left her job for health reasons. Ramirez, who began at the end of May, is responsible for setting calendars, coordinating meetings and establishing correspondence with minority students.
She said she hoped to expand her responsibilities.
"Imight start looking at grants for Native Americans," she said.
Ramirez also said she wanted to help make students feel comfortable using the office.
"I want students to come in here and feel relaxed," she said. "I want this to be a safe place for students to come."
Key, who started as office receptionist in July,
replaced Young, who also left her job for health reasons
Key, a former KU student, declined to comment on her duties.
Sherwood Thompson, director of the Office of Minority Affairs, said he hoped the personnel changes would improve the office.
"The staff has a cumulative experience of over 40 years," he said. "I look forward to using that experience to help the new staff.
Thompson said the new employees would bring enthusiasm to the office.
"Their track record is great," he said.
