Food shops feed CSULB
By Gary Dunn
Special to the
Summer Forty-Niner
The dining facilities
provided at Cal State Long Beach are loaded with options to satisfy rumbling
stomachs this year.
A variety of eating
options await students, faculty and staff, said Roman Gulon, general manager
of Forty Niner Shops Inc.
From hot dog vendors
to sit-down dining and a growing vegetarian menu, Moms cooking may soon
become a thought of the past.
The Parkside Commons
and Residence Commons are the two dining halls available to students living
in the dorms.
Just like elementary
school days, even brown bag lunches are available upon request.
Menus include a variety
of meat and vegetable entrees with unlimited seconds on most.
In addition, all
lunch and dinner menus include a salad bar, fresh fruit and a wide selection
of ice cream, yogurt and other desserts.
To accommodate all
eating preferences three different pre-paid dining packages are available
to students.
The first, the Traditional
12, is for students who may be gone on the weekends or who just want to
dine on campus less frequently. The plan allows for 12 meals per week.
The next package,
the Traditional 19, is for the student who plans to eat most of their meals
on campus. This plan allows for 19 meals each week.
The final package,
which includes all of the benefits of either of the Traditional packages,
charges $200 for $220 in credit that may be used towards the Forty-Niner
food stores on campus or toward any guest meals.
For those students
who want vegetarian meals or other food options, facility managers are
available to accommodate all lifestyles.
"In the past our
vegetarian menu has been rather limited," Gulon said. "Over the past few
years our staff has really worked hard to try to meet everyoneís preferences.
It is really not a change in our program, but rather a change in our consumer
awareness and attitude. We want to serve all our students the best we can."
Prices for the packages
were not available because they are totaled into the overall cost of the
dorm leases.
Information can be
obtained by calling (562) 985-8896, or by visiting the Residence Halls
offices, Monday. |
