Also old trophies or jerseys to put up on the wall to make a more \u201csporty\u201d atmosphere. This project would take $15, 000 to complete. Lost and Found for the Commons. Signage and crosswalks. Another issue was the possibility of having EMU take over the Den, as opposed to having Pioneer Catering run it.<\/p>\n b. Food Committee \u2013 The cafeteria just hired a new chef.
