Then I moved in and there wasn!|t a gelato bar, after which they didn!|t seriously say anything. The thing that frustrated me the most is the fact that they didn!|t seriously tell men and women what was taking place.!‥



Rumors are actually flying in regards to the explanation for that unfulfilled gelato guarantee. LSA freshman Joseph Ambrose speculated about why the gelato machine!|s set up took so long.

Peter Logan, communications director for University Housing, offered a clearer account of what happened. The gelato machine was a part of a bid package deal that included all of East Quad!|s kitchen and counter products.
