At Hunt and Ragsdale,
the items in the grill line are
made to order, which take
more time.
The food in the dining halls
is also freshly cooked which
partly explains why the wait
can take a while.
“We do not cook it all at
once. A small batch for every-
thing does take more time,
but it makes it fresher,” Smith
said.
Students have suggested so-
lutions for the long lines.
“I really think that there
should be two lines in Hunt
Hall. The grill and entrees
are way too close, and if they
expanded that, people could
get through way quicker than
having one line for two differ-
ent things,” sophomore Nata-

Carter was once known as
“Specialist Jonathan Carter”
in the U.S. Army. After serv-
ing two deployments in five
years, Carter is now attend-
ing St. Edward’s while con-
tinuing to be active in the
military as a reservist.

Ragsdale Center was last
renovated in 2003 when the
freshmen enrollment stood at
546 students.
In 2009, Hunt and Le-
Mans were both constructed
in 2009 and at that time the
freshmen enrollment was at
757 students.
This year, the freshmen
class has grown to 811 stu-
dents and the structures
of the dining halls have re-
mained the same.
However, this may change

There are plans for renova-
tions in Hunt and Ragsdale,
according to Michael Smith,
general manager of Bon Ap-
food demand on campus.
Some students believe that
these long lines are due to

This bill will amend the
SGAs Government Code to
include the execution of a
routine mid-semester survey.
This mid-semester survey
would be used
to gather student
opinions on is-
sues that need to
be addressed and
seek approval
and awareness of
new SGA poli-
cies and legisla-
tion.
Carter’s bill
was approved
through first pas-
sage.
The “Let’s Rep-
resent” bill was
written by Sen. Felicia Ste-
vens and sponsored by Sen.
Jonathan Edwards and co-
sponsored by Carter.
This resolution proposes a
trial-test where senators are
assigned an organization to

Although the lines in the
dining halls have been a con-
cern to students, some do not
think that the lines are a big
issue.
“There’s not much you can
do about the lines. It’s not
realistic to make the area big-
ger,” junior Adam Littleton
said.
Despite this disparity, there
seems to be a consensus
among the St. Edward’s com-
munity that expanding the
dining hours would be ben-
eficial, and an idea that Smith
would be open to listening to.
“It is a constraint to have to
rush to the dining halls be-
fore 8:00 p.m., and then the
Huddle has very limited op-
tions,” freshman Alexandria
Ruiz said.

Many St. Edward’s Uni-
versity students have noticed
that getting food at Hunt
Hall and Ragsdale Center is
a process that only gets lon-
ger with time.
With the freshmen enroll-
ment at St. Edward’s increas-
ing each year and currently
at its highest point ever, this
means one thing for the stu-
dents and faculty — longer
cafeteria lines.
“The long cafeteria lines
are something that is getting
annoying, especially during
peak times,” freshman Gabri-
elle Dena said.
While the freshmen class is
increasing, little is being done
to accommodate the rise in

During the Student Gov-
ernment Association’s fifth
formal senate meeting, two
pieces of legislation were in-
troduced.
Sophomore Lauren Ibarra
was sworn in as an associate
member by SGA Chief of
Staff, Michael Cimino.
“I wanted to be in SGA so
I could be a part of an orga-
nization that had more of an
impact on campus,” Ibarra
said.
Cimino first addressed
the topic of the plus/minus
grading system. The cabinet
is currently working on a
distribution sheet to explain
the plus/minus system to the
student body in a simple way.
Afterwards, a committee
update was shared by Exter-
nal Affairs Director Jacque-
line Schicker.
