• Students express frustration over on-campus dining changes (unewsonline.com) — A St. Louis University library has replaced its Einstein Bros. Bagels with BerryBox Superfood Bar, frustrating many students who say they weren't consulted and dislike losing a familiar option. For Clayton readers, BerryBox's expansion now includes a location in town, reflecting the chain's growing local footprint and its emphasis on pricier, health-focused fare like $11.95 açaí bowls.
