Homecoming’s Food on Campus
October 12, 2011
Food on Campus is a tasty tradition that takes place
throughout Homecoming week, and purchasing a FOC button provides
customers with five meals for $5. Food is served from 11 to 1:30
p.m. The food options are diverse and sure to satisfy everyone’s
cravings.
Monday offers Hy-Vee Chinese; Tuesday sees Papa
John’s pizza; Wednesday serves walking tacos and Farm to ISU
apples; Thursday has Valentino’s; and Friday, pork burgers from the
Pork Producers of Iowa and Coldstone Creamery ice cream.
“Money from the button sales goes directly to our
food budget for next year’s Food on Campus in order to keep this
event available to students in future years at Iowa State
University,” said Morgan Galle, Homecoming Central member and Food
on Campus coordinator, along with Alicia Snyder.
Food on Campus is a continuing tradition because of
its ability to involve the entire Iowa State community.
“Homecoming is a time where all of Iowa State
University can celebrate our traditions, and Food on Campus is a
great way to partake in the merriment. It is one of the more public
events we have during the week, so we love to welcome everyone to
participate,” said Katie Kaiser, Homecoming general
co-chairwoman.
“It’s an event for the students to enjoy and get in
the ‘cyclone state of mind’. It is also a fun event for students to
enjoy a quality, yet inexpensive, meal with their friends on
Central Campus,” Galle said.
Aaron Williams, Homecoming general co-chairman, is
most looking forward to Monday’s meal of Hy-Vee Chinese because FOC
has “never had it as an option before, and I love their sesame
chicken.”
Not only should customers be enthusiastic about FOC
but also Homecoming Central and CySquad are psyched to be a part of
it as well.
“Personally I am looking forward to the variety of
food, and just in general, to see the number of sponsors that
support the ISU student body during Homecoming,” said Brett
Cranston, CySquad member.
“I’m so excited for Food on Campus because it is one
of the starting events for Homecoming, and it’s finally here!” said
Karson Kretschmar, a public relations co-chairwoman for Homecoming
Central. “I’m anxious to see all of the students who come and
support FOC since we’ve all worked so hard on everything this
year.”
