By now the student and faculty are more than abuzz about the cozy new cafe nestled in the corner of the campus. The ultra-sleek Jazzman's Cafe humbly takes the place of the well-established food court, with a decidedly Starbuck-esque flare. With moody jazz music and a comfortable atmosphere, Jazzman 's hopes to take its customers by storm.•

One reason, according to the managerial staff of Jazzman 's, was to stifle the repetition between the main cafeteria and the food court. One could find the exact same foods in either location. What Jazzman 's hopes to achieve is a unique eating experience on campus using a higb1y-styli7.Cdmotif.

Despite the overall approval of the look of the cafe, some students still have a few qualms about ~e food selection.

"Overall, the cafe looks great," Deidre Beadle, sophomore, said. "But the food is terrible."

"H's rabbit food," sophomore Athena King said.

The consensus seems to be that the presentation and style of the cafe isn't an adequate sacrifice for the warm food, such as hamburgers and French fries.

Stephen Lightcap, vice president of finance and administration, did not divulge the actual costs of building Jazzman's. The director o construction and plarming, Michael Caranfa, was equally quiet about the figures, stating only that he had a policy of not discussing project the project took place under the same corporate laud its fuel cells as comparable to combustion engines both in performance and output.

Most people arc still skittish about buying cars with new technology under the hood but what concerns them most about buying AFVs, according to the AFDC, is the availability of the alternative fuel in question.

"It depends how limited or unlimited the resources are. Gas stations are everywhere you turn around. People want what's at their fingertips," Julie Smith, a junior English/communications major, said. Smith went on to say that she would drive an AFV as Jong as the fuel was available at a reasonable distance.
