Dining Hall closes at Georgia Southern

Lulu Joy Bowden Neville, circa 1975.

Today is the final day of food service at the Landrum Center at Georgia Southern. The cafeteria was s sparking addition to campus life in the mid-1960s, replacing the shop worn and overcrowded dining hall in the Williams Center. My mom was head cashier at food service during this time, which, on at least one occasion included a massive food fight after which she came home with Pimento Cheese streaking her hair. When asked what happened, she said, “apparently the students did not care for supper.”
