Weekend operations might have to wait until spring quarter, Schluep said, but at least the CoHo will be back to normal Monday through Friday.
鈥淲e very much appreciate our customers鈥 continued patience and support,鈥 Schluep said. 鈥淲e鈥檙e very thankful and definitely feel an obligation to reward that patience with improved and expanded service as soon as our staffing levels will allow.鈥
