Sugar and Spice: new, but not improved

Regarding "Sugar 'n Spice and Everything New" by Peter Stevenson (Aug. 30):\nAbout a month ago, the IDS ran an article on the Sugar and Spices's face-lift. However, these changes are not necessarily as good as we, as students, have been led to believe. I am thrilled to see that the small shop is exploring new food groups besides sugar. Bananas and veggie meals are always welcome; however, it seems to be coming at a price. When I started school in 2003, the price of a chocolate chunk was $1. Now it has jumped to a remarkable $1.19, a price difference for us who indulge in cookies on a regular basis. Further, it's just annoying to have to fish out 19 cents and only slows the process of going through line even more. And you better get in line early because the shop has changed its hours. No more late-night cookie and coffee breaks; Sugar and Spice is closed by 7:30 p.m. Where have all the cookies gone? They're still there, just behind early closed doors.
