The convenience of E's Express' sack lunch alternative is still important for students who have to be on campus all day. Kristan Seibel, Hays sophomore said. She said she hopes that part of E's Express will remain the same with the addition of more low-fat choices.
"Something fresh, hearty and healthy would be a nice change for people who get tired of fried food." Seibel said.

Catholics infuriated about 'phallic' statue
The Associated Press
WICHITA — Recruiters from Washburn University have been banned from Catholic high schools in Wichita because the college is displaying a controversial sculpture of a Roman Catholic clergyman.
The sculpture, entitled "Holier Than Thou," depicts a grimacing clergyman wearing a miter, which some critics have said resembles a penis.
The artist, Jerry Boyle, has said he didn't intend to offend Catholics and he did not make the miter appear like a penis.
Principals of all four Catholic high schools in the Wichita diocese have written Washburn, which is a public university. They
said they did so without prompting by the diocese.
Bob Voboril, superintendent of schools for the Catholic Diocese of Wichita, said those who placed the statue are "clearly seeking to offend and insult Catholics."
Washburn officials responded that the sculpture, which is 10 years old, was not meant to attack Catholics. The sculpture was installed in September as part of an art show. It is funded with private gifts and is scheduled to remain until the summer.
"We regret that a few individuals are trying to impose their interpretation on all of us," said David Monical, Washburn's executive director of governmental and university relations.
