After the first week or so back from summer, one may notice considerable changes across campus. Most notably, the new dorm building, Adams Hall, located on South Green. It's a great place and conveniently houses apparently hundreds of students (although no real numbers are offered on the still-not-updated website), but unfortunately there is a small problem accompanying this addition. With South Green growing by hundreds of students this year, Nelson Dining Hall seems to have to stretch thin to accommodate everyone. This is especially true on Saturdays when Shively and Jefferson Dining Halls are closed for some reason. Considering this, on a Saturday evening, Nelson may need to feed students from both South and East Greens. Even though doors close at 6:30 for dinner there, the line to get in actually ran out of the building itself this weekend, all the way up to closing time. This problem again seems to highlight a popular theme of subpar planning on campus. It'll be interesting to see how this all pans out and see whether any solution (open the other dining halls, perhaps?) surfaces.
