In case the lighthearted, somewhat sarcastic tone was not obvious, let me just say that I don't actually think extending snack "is a priority for CMC". Nor is this statement literally true: "The end of Sunday snack is a tragedy that I am still mourning" Clearly not much room for humor on the Forum anymore.

I happen to agree that students need not be forced to foot the bill and pay for a snack on Friday and Saturday nights. BUT: I honestly wouldn't mind extended hours for the shop that's attatched to the Hub. Honestly, the line at the hub can get quite rediculous. I saw a number of people get turned away because there wasn't time to reach them. The Hub isn't meant to take that much of a load of people. The Mudd hole is a a lot more reasonable time wise, but that's a really long way to go. (Well not really, but it certainly seems that way when cold or intoxicated.) It can get pretty hectic down there too. If we kept the little side-store open, I'm pretty sure it'd get a good amount of traffic and pay for itself. I think this article is in a few ways misguided.
