What is your favorite Cafeteria/Dining Hall Story? It was the fall of 1999 and I was a freshman at CU – and I was struggling with homesickness and was truly scared at all the new people at CU and trying to find my way to “fit in.” One of the most scary experiences was the cafeteria: Who do I sit with? How do I work the food lines? Getting past Libby! In this I found a source of encouragement and strength – it was Libby. She was always colorful in her descriptions of the students – but she became very kind and reassuring to me. Each time I walked into the cafeteria – she always had a smile, said “How are you today honey” – simply a motherly greeting. I remember it was my first birthday at CU (Spring 2000) and my parents forgot to call! (yes!) and I was feeling kind of sad and I went to dinner in the dining hall – and Libby brings me a birthday cake! I felt so special, so loved. I will never forget her. - Donald Reed
next to Wilson. We used to “borrow them” all the time... and even cleaned them and returned them. This was when the cafeteria was in the bottom of Men’s Towers. - Greg White The renovations in 2008 and being amazed at how different it was. I was a resident assistant so I was able to be on campus and try it out before most others and we all were bragging to the residents how much better the meals and hall were. - Amanda Rauma Woodrum ’09
Libby and her constant banter and fighting for the Pi Kapps to go out the “right” door! Soooo funny....I loved Libby and her banter!! - Tracy Puckett-Casey ’10 So many... Libby and her way of knowing everyone. - Hope Pack Young ’91
Question for the next issue: What’s your favorite formal/ dance memory?
Libby! She called all of us Alpha Sigs her little red hussies! - Jamie Metz Vandergrift ’02 Definitely Libby. She knew your name and always had something to say to you! - Christen Cavezza Landis ’92 Libby keeping everyone in line... The Crazy Eight’s having their “Viking” dinner. - Meleah Fisher ’94 Not so much IN the cafeteria, but the trays made awesome sleds on the hill
