Music Coming to Cafeterias
Mary Dixon, Director of the Student Life Committee, announced yesterday that beginning next
semester, university cafeterias will broadcast classical music during mealtimes. “Music will foster
a more relaxed atmosphere,” said Dixon. “Students’ lives are hectic, and mealtimes provide
important opportunities to take a break and catch up with friends before moving on to the next
class or assignment.” Added Dixon, “We’re also hoping that, if we provide the music, students
will unplug their personal music devices—their Walkmans™ and MP3 players or whatever—and
will spend more time talking to each other. When students have their headphones on, they’re not
connecting with each other.”
