Last fall, freshman Karlie Eaton was on the smallest meal plan for first-year students living on campus. When the semester ended, she had 30 meals left over, which meant 30 meals wasted.

At St. Thomas, unused meals and flex dollars do not carry over to the next semester’s plan.

“We have to pay for a lot of meals we don’t even use,” Eaton said, suggesting that leftover meals should roll over or students should be reimbursed.

A group of St. Thomas students is organizing a petition to continue the school’s joint theater partnership with St. Catherine University. When the St. Thomas theater department dissolved last year, the administration committed to supporting theater productions between the two universities, but only for the 2009-2010 school year.
