Food Recovery chapter feeds the community
Sophomores Emily Midyette and Katherine Stein recover food in Andrew Commons Kitchen. Photo by Larissa Davis With so many different clubs and organizations on campus, it can be hard to keep track of all of them, let alone decide which ones to join.

Dining in Dairyland: Katsu-Ya
Katsu-Ya is a very special place. It is, however, a place to go only after you’ve budgeted for a couple weeks. It is located within walking distance, eight blocks from campus and a block closer than Walgreens. Although it is a bit difficult to find due to subdued signage, your success is rewarded by a…
A fifth-year’s perspective on food of Lawrence past
Lawrence has undergone some fairly significant changes this year, from what it’s lost (LU-R1 program) to what it’s gained (a new president).

We…

Although it’s roughly a twenty-minute walk from campus, it is definitely worthwhile for a unique date or dinner with friends. The building that houses Fratellos used to be the “Vulcan Street Plant,” the world’s first hydroelectric plant built…
Meal plans unite students and provide nutritious food
About halfway through every term, I realize that my meal plan won’t keep me fed through finals. When I realized this fact as a freshman, I was appalled and freaked out. How would I eat? What would I eat? How did all the upperclassmen not starve when eighth week rolled around? In a state of…
