Cafeteria seats are now marked for people to sit in the mornings and lunches. The five lunches insure that there are less people in each lunch so that students have less contact. “It is difficult for students to find places to sit with their friends because there is a five people to a table rule. Especially as it gets colder outside students are going to find more difficulties finding tables for them and their friends to sit at.”, sophomore Julianna Kuhlman said.
