Dining centers serve up homecoming meal

Tuesday, October 30, 2007

Homecoming events at the three campus dining halls begin tonight when the halls open for dinner.

The menus will include hamburgers, hot dogs, bratwurst and baked beans. For dessert, students will be able to decorate their own cake or sugar cookies. A regular menu also will be in place.

Although tonight’s meal is still a part of the official homecoming events, the dinner be worth points for any group or individual participating in homecoming week.

“Homecoming is about a lot more than earning points,” said Bailey DeReus, community and campus outreach chairwoman of the homecoming steering committee. “It’s about celebrating being a Jayhawk and being a part of the University of Kansas and the Jayhawk Nation.

“We worked this year to bring a little bit of homecoming to all parts of campus,” she said.

Students who live in residence halls know that the dinigh halls can get crowded even on a normal night, but staff at Mrs. E’s said students should not worry about being able to find a seat.

“Dinner ends up being a pretty big affair,” Mrs. E’s general manager Mark Maranell said. “But I don’t expect this will increase the numbers dramatically.”

Mrs. E’s will begin its homecoming dinner at 5 p.m., Oliver Dining Hall at 4:30, and GSP-Corbin at 4:45.
