“A ham, turkey, and tomato sandwich out of the vending machine after morning class, at the Hub, while reading the Iowa State Daily.”
— Theron Bobzin (’85, ’97)
“For lunch, I would go to the Hub on central campus and in one of the vending machines there was a sandwich called a ‘Crusty.’ It was some kind of spreadable meat between bread crusts. It was a favorite as it was only 35 cents, which was a great deal for a student on a very limited budget.”
— Loren Anderson (’77)
“This is going back five decades, but once in a blue moon, the Friley cafeteria would serve boneless ribs for dinner. They were fantastic! Being 20 years of age or so, I could have probably eaten five times the amount they served us.”
