 Few forces on
this planet are as powerful as the hunger college students
feel while studying late at night. So Pomona’s most prized
perk just might be the free food students get five nights a
week from 10:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. at Frary Dining Hall.
Known simply as “Snack,” this late-night repast only dates
back a decade, but it already has become an important part
of student life. Dean of Students Ann Quinley initiated this
night-owl nosh in response to a student’s suggestion, and
the meal went over big. “I just love it,” says Brian
Hardesty ’07.
Food choices vary night to night, ranging from nachos to
corndogs, from meatballs to muffins. Of course, some
offerings are more popular than others. “They put down the
pizza and it’s gone,” says Hardesty.
The Sunday through Thursday ritual is a chance to socialize
and perhaps procrastinate just a tad on that research paper.
Coffee fuels students who plan to keep studying into the wee
morning hours. Bands play on occasion and The
Student Life newspaper conducts a weekly survey at Snack,
asking off-the-wall questions such as “What movie character
does Dick Cheney remind you of the most?”
Perhaps Snack is a little too popular. The food is served in
Frary on the north end of campus, where juniors and seniors
are concentrated. In recent years residents of south campus
have campaigned in student elections to bring Snack to their
end of campus.
The good news is that it’s only a five-minute walk from
south campus to Frary, and a little exercise might not be a
bad idea for everyone, north or south, after gobbling down
all that food.
