Complex, is open for dinner.
Driscoll said the pizzeria is making
its own dough this year. “It’s a really
good product,” he says. “Much
better than in the past.”
Hammy’s Diner in the Hamilton
Complex offers its usual fare of
hamburgers and other fast food for
students on the go, including vege
tarian choices. The 1950s style din
er has hours extending to 10 p.m.
The new Fire ‘n Spice Grill, also
in Hamilton, opened Thursday.
Students can have their meals
made to order, choosing every
thing from meats and vegetables to
spices and sauces.
“We’ve found that students like to
be able to have more control over the
meal,” Driscoll said. “It will be fun.”
He adds that these ingredients can be
placed on tortillas, rolls or rice — the
possibilities are almost endless. “It’s
as far as your imagination will take
you,” he said. The grill’s hours are 11
a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Fri
day, and 4:30 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Saturday and Sunday.
Need a midnight snack? Common
Grounds Cafe in Hamilton is open
until 2 a.m. The cafe offers breakfast
items, sandwiches, soups, beverages
and snacks. “We have Internet con
nections all over the place,” Driscoll
said. “It’s been very popular.”
Clancy Thurber’s Underground,
located downstairs in the Collier
House, has a mellow, bistro-type at
mosphere — perfect for scribbling
poetry or just relaxing with a cup of
coffee. The pub is named after for
mer University Club President and
University faculty member Clancy
Thurber, and it serves waffles, sand
wiches and its popular soup in a
bread bowl. Clancy Thurber’s also
specializes in hot beverages,
including cappuccino and chai tea.
Grab ‘N Go in Hamilton is now
Grab ‘N Go Marketplace. Students
can purchase the same hot food
items and packaged snacks available
in past years, but now they can also
purchase toiletry items such as sham
poo and toothpaste. “It’s much more
of a marketplace now,” says Driscoll.
Students can use their pre-pur
chased point-based meal plans, De
Duck Cash Cards or Campus Cash
accounts or pay cash for any of the
Dining Services venues.
Beyond Dining Services, Erb
Memorial Union also has an eclectic
selection of foods. In addition to the
EMU’s own food vendors, Greatful
Bread, The Buzz and Erb Essentials
convenience store, EMU Food Ser
vice also contracts out spaces to sev
eral national franchises and local
vegetarian and vegan enterprises.
Food Service also added more va
riety to its Marketplace Foods this
year. India House, Ritta’s Burritos,
Pita Pit, Orient Express and Kim’s
Bento will serve food here on differ
ent days of the week. “With the con
cept of the Marketplace, that might
put us at a place where we have
more variety (than other
universities),” Costello said.
“We’re also adding new foods at
The Buzz,” he said. “We’re offering
Belgian waffles and more
sandwiches than we did last year.”
Costello said the Cyber Cafe in
McKenzie Hall is permanently shut
down, but the Atrium Cafe in
Willamette Hall, the AAA Cafe in
Lawrence Hall, and the Daily Grind
in the Knight Library are all open
for business.
Students cannot use their meal
points or DeDuck accounts at EMU
Food Services venues, but they can
use regular cash or Campus Cash
accounts. Subway and Andrew
Smash also accept credit cards.
With the combination of old fa
vorites and exciting new additions,
students can fill themselves with
knowledge and good eats.
“There will be more of a selec
tion,” Costello said. “It’s a more in
teresting fare.”

is also an excellent place to look for
mod dishes and other housewares.
For craftier types, Nobody’s Baby
sells vintage patterns. The store
also sells accessories — silk ties
and leather saddlebags abound.
Clancy says she likes the older
second-hand clothes because they
are “made better, last longer,
cheaper and you don’t have to wor
ry about other people wearing the
same thing.”
On the other end of the second
hand spectrum, stores like Good
will, The Salvation Army and Value
Village sell donated clothes instead
of buying them on consignment.
These stores are good places to
visit for more basic pieces. They
generally offer the cheapest prices
but because of the large size of the
stores, shopping requires more ef
fort. However, with persistence,
one can find sweaters from name
brands for about 84.50. If this is
still too much for your budget,
most items are half-off at Goodwill
on the last day of every month.
There are several Goodwill and Sal
vation Army stores in the Eugene
area.
Whether customers are looking
for reasonable prices on designer
shirts or worn-out bell-bottoms, Eu
gene’s numerous second-hand
stores offer something for everyone.

Dear Nat: Why do people adhere
to the standard of monogamy? I
mean, what’s the deal with that?
— Baffled
Dear Baffled: Take a good look in
the mirror. Do you see fins, feathers
or fur? No, you see flesh,
because you are human, and
humans have emotions. So if you
can’t deal with monogamy, I sure
hope you come back as a rabbit in
your next life.
