DINING SERVICES PROPERTY
China, silver, glassware, salt and pepper, food trays, and all other reusable dining service utensils and equipment have been purchased for use in the dining areas. They should not be removed for your personal use. Removal of such items only increases your board costs, as replacements must be paid for from your board payments. Theft of such items is in violation of University regulations and may result in judicial action.
