We as college students, with our classes and multiple low-paying jobs and complicated social networks, are short on both time and money, so we are always looking for ways to get food in our systems quickly and cheaply. Frank’s Place, on Portage Street, appears to have caught onto this fact, and is now offering LSSU Students half-price meals on Monday evenings (4 PM – closing) on one condition – that those who want to get their dinners half price bring their study materials, and that they do some form of studying while they are in the restaurant. Owner Marta La Londe explains that “We’re doing this as a gesture of support for studying... we understand that you’re busy and you’re poor, so we just want you to be able to come here and eat cheaply.” Originally this special was offered on Sunday evenings, but La Londe was getting the impression that students don’t do very much studying on Sundays, so she has just this week decided to change the day to Monday.
