Union Market: Location convienent for students Continued from page 8 place to sell tobacco on campus. Store manager Kim Shore said she hopes the remodel and the expanded item selection, particularly the sushi, will generate revenue to replace the projected $90,000 they will lose be cause of the ban on tobacco sales. According to Shore, tobacco sales ac counted for about 75 percent of the store’s sales in previous years. Henry Ferguson, stepfather to a University freshman, dropped in to try one of the sushi combination trays. A former smoker, he said he is glad the store doesn’t sell tobacco products, adding that he’d prefer “even rotten sushi” to tobacco. “The school shouldn’t be in the business of selling tobacco,” Fergu son said. Freshman Ricarte Arnold appeared enthusiastic about the sushi offerings and said he is fine with the ban on to bacco sales, adding that his father smokes. “1 love sushi, and I hate the smell of cigarettes,” Arnold said. He added that he’d probably buy sushi every day for lunch. Senior Sarah Holman said she would take advantage of the store’s selection of toiletries. “I don’t have a car, and the nearest place is Safeway, and that’s like 20 blocks away,” Holman said. Sophomore Phil Jackson said the new items and look won’t change his buying habits. “I come in for Goldfish and a soda, and that’s it,” Jackson said. In addition to the changes in the products offered, the store received an extensive $30,000 remodel. Shore said the store has been repainted and has new floors, refrigerators and sales area. One of the most noticeable changes is the u-shaped counter with registers at either end. Student store manager Zach Man dell, a senior, said customer reactions to the changes have been somewhat mixed. He said some customers ap peared slightly exasperated when the> found they could no longer buy ciga rettes, but that most liked the remodel “The regulars really like how it looks,” Mandell said. moriahbalingit@dailyememld.com Yom Kippur: Oregon Hillel holds services all day Saturday Continued from page b faith, but encouraged those in atten dance to get to know their communi ty.
