Chill Frozen Yogurt on Wydown Boulevard is the latest off-campus business to accept Bear Bucks, the program that allows Washington University students to charge purchases to their Campus Cards. In the fall semester, Kayak’s Coffee and Bobo Noodle House began accepting Bear Bucks. Blueberry Hill soon followed.

Student Union is looking into getting the Bear Bucks program accepted at more venues after its successful debut this fall by the University. Students could use Bear Bucks, which were previously called Campus Card points, on campus at dining facilities, the bookstore, Bear Necessities and more.

A pilot program to expand locations where the Washington University Campus Card is accepted is currently in the works. Dining Services is working with local merchants to accept Campus Card purchases by the end of spring break. At this stage, interested parties include Kayak’s Coffee and Bobo Noodle House.

A few weeks ago, Student Life showcased Student Union’s and various student groups’ efforts to raise money for the crisis in Haiti. The SU drive has raised over $6,400, and thousands more have been raised through other student fundraisers.

Bon Appétit may be acclaimed as one of the nation’s most highly-ranked campus food companies, but Wash. U. students know that the meal plan system certainly has its flaws.
