WHEREAS, there has been an interest among the student body to extend dining hall hours to

3) Wolves’ Den Renovation to accommodate a broader menu; and,

option left much to be desired; and,

and convenient dining system possible; now therefore be it,

RESOLVED, by the North Carolina State University Student Senate that, after discussions between the agencies of Student Government and University Dining, we encourage University Dining, on a long term basis, to look into renovating Talley Student Center, with an emphasis on the Wolves Den and extending the hours of both Taco Bell and Lil’ Dinos; and be it further,

RESOLVED, that in the short term, University Dining look into possibly extending hours at one or more dining halls to 9 pm; and be it further,

RESOLVED, that Student Government commends University Dining for being receptive to the concerns of NC State’s Student Body.
