Last week, on November 14, sushi was brought back on campus. Since the day it left, almost three weeks ago, students have been questioning what happened to the infamous sushi bar.

Apparently the demand on the sushi chefs was a little less than overbearing. As witnessed by students, the chefs worked day in and day out. They were always ready to make whatever sushi the student wanted on demand. They rarely ever turned down a student's request.

However, a mutual agreement was formed between the sushi chefs and Lackmann. As a result, they are no longer on campus with their fresh sushi ready to be served.

Now that sushi has returned, students are trying to decide if they like that the sushi is delivered or if they prefer to have it made fresh in front of them by chefs.

After hearing a few students' responses, about half of the students were okay with the sushi being delivered. They were just happy that it was here.

Having sushi delivered on campus is not new for Lackmann or the Pace community in general. Last semester on the Briarcliff campus, sushi was delivered towards the end of the semester. There was a positive response from students. When students learned that sushi was available on campus, they were often checking to see what kind was available. When there was no present, students were disappointed.

This means that an extra effort will have to be made to make sure that sushi is always available, yet still fresh. Many times when sushi was cooked fresh, students carried two servings at a time. Now that the sushi is delivered, the only way to see how the students respond is to wait for their reaction.

Other sushi lovers are not happy with the change. They want sushi made in front of them in order to assure its freshness. One student, Jennifer Lewis, protests that the only time that she will eat the sushi that is now provided is if she is late and has no time to wait for food. Lewis once ate sushi four times a week and graduated down to two times a week. She doubts she will have it even once in two weeks due to the change that has occurred.

The unit manager of Pleasantville cafeteria, Marianne Walker, is concerned with how students are reacting to the change. As a team, Lackmann is working on getting sushi back onto campus for the new semester. After all, according to Walker, they will try to do "whatever makes them [students] happy."

Lackmann needs to know how students feel about the new sushi idea in order to know if any changes need to be made. Therefore, if there are any suggestions, complaints, and positive feedback that can be given, the student's voice should be heard. The only way for Lackmann to know how they can improve their job or keep on doing what they are doing, is if the student's speak out.
