Marketplace at Perry sets new Smart Bar hours BY ANDREW FORTUNE Contributing Writer
The Marketplace at Perry offers an option for students and faculty who have celiac disease. The Smart Bar, located to the right of the salad bar, provides limited gluten-free options. Chef Dana Clemmons said she is concerned many
students and faculty are not aware of the Smart Bar. The Smart Bar does not only service students with special dietary needs. Any guest in Perry may visit the Smart Bar and have a specialty dish prepared in front of them. Meals prepared at the Smart Bar offer healthy options to those who wish to maintain a healthy diet.
Megan Grimes, a sophomore majoring in biomedical engineering, was not even aware MSU offered gluten-free options. “I think it is great that State is so concerned about the health of its students,” Grimes said. Currently, Aramark representatives tell students with special dietary needs to call
ahead in order to have more substantial meals prepared. With an increase in student interest in the Smart Bar, the Aramark directors said they will continue to improve the program. If the Smart Bar services a minimum of 50 students during the current hours of operation, Aramark will open additional dinner hours. SEE CELIAC, 2

Local restaurant keeps it close to home BY ALIE DALEE Staff Writer
Walking into Stromboli’s, customers might see to the right their own signature penned on the wall, or to the left a record that used to play throughout the living room as a kid. This atmosphere is what owner Tim Turman, said is the aim for Stromboli’s. He said he wants Stromboli’s to feel like a home away from home. “I’ve always viewed it for students as a home away from home, and for locals, a gathering place,” Turman said.
He said the community supports Stromboli’s and, over time, he forms relationships with the customers. “Serving is one of our goals – not only food, but people,” he said. Stromboli’s originally started as pick-up and delivery only, run by a young couple in college. After graduation, Turman said the couple put Stromboli’s on the market, where a friend of Turman’s acquired it and sold it to Turman. Turman, along with his wife Janet, both Mississippi State University graduates,
opened Stromboli’s under their management Nov. 1, 2001. Turman said he always wanted to be in the restaurant business, and Stromboli’s is a true “mom and pop” establishment, with wife helping run the show and their daughter helping waitress. In the beginning, Turman kept Stromboli’s as pick-up and delivery only. However, in Oct. 2003, he said he saw the public demand for dining in and started collecting chairs and tables from around town. Around the same time, Stromboli’s became the sit-in eatery residents enjoy today.
However, Turman added he still does catering around town and for various MSU functions. As business took off, so did the demand for additional seating. Now on a bright autumn day, customers can now enjoy the patio seating added in 2004, behind the main restaurant. While Stromboli’s may be known for the food, the restaurant itself has an ambiance all its own. The memorabilia hung along the walls can have students and residents alike reminiscing on days gone by.

More white boards will be added to study rooms, and tables with outlets on the top will make rooms more laptop-friendly, Coleman said. Students and faculty can expect to see a new large television screen in the auditorium. Several screens will also be added to rooms outside the library’s administration facilities on the third floor.

applications puts library resources at students’ fingertips. “You can now search the catalog and have the call number texted to your cell phone, which makes it easier to find a book on the shelves,” he said. Students can also use library resources without leaving Facebook, Cunetto said. “Within the past six months, a new app allows the library catalog to be searched within Facebook. If students “like” a book, it will show up on their news feed page,” he said.

A fight that broke out in the student section of Mi s s i s s i p p i State’s Davis Wade stadium during Georgia Lindley the Saturday night football game against the University of South Alabama ended in five student arrests, Georgia Lindley, MSU police chief said. She said the fight took place in Section R of the stadium and began over an individual throwing drinks down the bleachers. “It started over people throwing cups and just grew into something much larger,” she said. In addition to the fight in the stands, there were two other fights over the weekend — one in the Junction and one on another part of campus. Across the board, 17 arrests (both students and non-stu-
dents) were made during the weekend, Lindley said. She said the police department follows a standard practice at every football game and will continue to follow its procedure. Police officers are assigned to specific parts of the stadium and wear green vests so they can be easily spotted if someone needs to report an issue, she said. Lindley said, in order to prevent incidents like this from happening again, students should be courteous to the people in the stands and not throw cups. She said students should avoid becoming involved in an altercation. She said although the stadium has seen fights from time to time, it is normally calm. She also said it can be crowded, and she encourages students not to provide their IDs to others. “The problem (of crowding) is compounded by students slipping others their IDs,” she said. “The stadium only holds ‘x’ amount of people.”
