Games Center Employees Kept Jobs During Closing

Games Center employees put in hours at the candy stand on floor two of the USU while the Games Center was remodeled from January to April.

Sivmi Chia, 22, a fifth year at CSULB was hired in January right before the floods. Her first week on the job was spent outside of the Games Center, turning students away.

"For the first week we got to sit at a table and tell people the Games Center was closed, that was fun," said Chia. "Then they rotated us in at the candy stand for a couple months."

Kevin Jones, 22, a fourth year at CSULB who was employed at the Games Center before and after the floods in January said he is lucky to still have his job.

"The first week we basically just sat outside and did homework when we could," said Jones. "And surprisingly a lot of people did try to get into the Games Center, even with all the do not enter signs."
