One top administrator says discussions are hot-and-heavy for the coffee shop to open in the space currently housing OSAF offices, which recently had large glass windows installed to give the building even the tiniest hint of life.

But are students taking advantage of the new, wide-open space, peacefully located above the Bryan Center loading bay and Great Hall dumpsters? A few glances at the plaza reveal the vast majority of students walking in straight lines from the main quadrangle to the student center's entrance or sitting outside of The Loop enjoying the sun. It's almost as if all the University needed was a walkway leading to the BC with a small patio adjacent to The Loop.
More than 1,500 students crammed together, waiting in a long bar line and mingling with the opposite sex while a half-dozen police officers lingered outside.
