WELCOME TO MOE’S
New restaurant opening draws mixed reactions By Dylan Blackburn Staff Writer
Moe’s Southwest Grill opened on Oct. 15 behind Wallace Student Center, adding another dining option on campus. Although most reactions from members of the student body have been positive, many students have expressed disapproval of Moe’s lack of meal exchange options. “Moe’s is one of my favorites, so it was a great day at Campbell when it opened,” said Campbell’s President J. Bradley Creed, who was among the first few customers of the new restaurant. “I like the John Coctostan quesadilla with chicken, black beans, cilantro, and enough Moe’s Hard Sauce squirted on to make me sweat. If you haven’t been to Moe’s yet, you’re missing something.”

“Moe’s is one of my favorites, so it was a great day at Campbell when it opened.” —President Creed The restaurant will be operated by Aramark, the same company that manages the other seven dining options on the main campus. “We are excited to provide Campbell University students and the Buies Creek community with Moe’s fresh, flavorful food that is customizable to unique diets and lifestyles,” said Katie Nelson Williams, Aramark’s Senior District Marketing Manager for the Southeast, in a press release on behalf of Moe’s.
While the restaurant will accept both Campbell and Creek Bucks, in addition to normal payment methods, Moe’s does not currently have a meal exchange option on the menu. Most students are willing to accept this fact, as evidenced by the long lines seen in the restaurant’s first week, although others are not adamant about spending their Campbell Bucks on Moe’s cuisine. “I think Moe’s was a great start,” said Johnathan Joyner, a freshman biology major. “I think it shows how we’re growing as a campus, but seeing a meal swipe there would really help out a lot.” Joanna D’Ancona, the general merchandise manager at the Bookstore and Campbell communication studies alumnus of See Moe’s, Page 7

While the motive remains unclear, Harper-Mercer is reported to have entered a classroom and asked those who were Christians to stand, at which point he told them the would “see God in one second,” and shot them. Harper-Mercer committed suicide before the police were able to arrest him. Campbell students and faculty weigh in on the issue of gun safety in schools.

College is the best four years of your life, according to most current college students and alumni. The first few years of college are all about learning—not only classroom information, but about yourself as well.
