When Auxiliary Services officials at SUNY Oswego announced plans in 2011 to expand their Plus Plan program to include Fajita Grill as a fourth vendor, student response was overwhelmingly positive.

Despite the success, however, Auxiliary Services has no plans to add a fifth vendor in the near future, said Director of Cash and Catering Operations Stephen McAfee.

“At this point I think we’re in a holding pattern,” McAfee said. “We need to get the details shaken out.”

Plus Plan, also known as Laker Dining Dollars, is a declining balance account useable at dining halls, cash operations across campus and select food vendors in the community. Now in its twelfth year, the Plus Plan program spent its first 10 years with just two vendors, Dominos and Oswego Sub Shop.

Student feedback in part led to Auxiliary Services adding Wonton House to the program two years ago. It had been among a handful of businesses interested in joining the selective program, which can mean substantial extra business from students. Despite the addition, students clamored to have another food vendor added to the program.

More than 65 percent of students specifically requested Fajita Grill be added to the program in a Student Association survey conducted last year, in which more than 600 students were polled.

“We had been trying for almost three years to get Fajita Grill on, but they didn’t want to be in the delivery business until 1 a.m. in the morning,” McAfee said.

One of the program’s stipulations is that Plus Plan vendors must offer late night food services. McAfee estimates more than 60 percent of Plus Plan orders are placed after midnight and around 80 percent of transactions take place after 10:30 p.m.

“They realized that they had some challenges with their program and their type of product doesn’t necessarily work well with online ordering,” McAfee said.

Instead of traditional online ordering, the restaurant compromised. It would accept Laker Dining Dollars on Plus Plan, but students would have to walk in, place their orders in person and swipe their ID cards. 

After working out some unexpected technical issues, Auxiliary Services coordinated with the new vendor for a soft opening in October 2011.

McAfee emailed Auxiliary Services roughly 600 student employees about the addition. To his surprise just minutes later, a student he was meeting with asked McAfee if it was true Fajita Grill was being added to Plus Plan. McAfee marveled at the reaction from students and how quickly word spread.

The first night Fajita Grill had the Plus Plan system working, about 30 students were waiting in line outside Fajita Grill at 5 p.m. to use their Laker Dining Dollars.

After two consecutive years of adding new vendors to the Plus Plan program, McAfee said his office is still catching up and ironing out the bugs. Not having to deal with bringing another vendor online this year will give Auxiliary Services time to assess the state of the program, he said.

SUNY Oswego raised more than $140,000 in ticket sales from men’s ice hockey games during the 2010-2011 season, athletic revenue records show. 
 
Combined ticket sales for all other regular season athletic events where admission was charged totaled around $6,000 during the same period. 
 
Gross ticket revenue from SUNY Oswego athletic events in 2010 and 2011 added up to about $150,000. After a ticket fee, the net total was around $135,000. However, it was not immediately apparent for what purpose the money was used.

Students are admitted to college athletic events free of charge. 

Men's and women's basketball and ice hockey are the only programs for which admission is charged.
 
Ticket sales from men’s hockey games dwarf the other 21 athletic teams at SUNY Oswego, but the popularity of the men’s hockey team is well known. 
 
The program has earned scores of accolades including a national championship in 2007. It has also remained competitive over the last three decades, while the competitiveness of many of the college’s other athletic programs has ebbed and flowed. 

The college’s fiercely loyal hockey following is evident from the expansive student section in the Campus Center Ice Arena. The facility can seat 2,500 people, with standing room for 500 more. Before the opening of the Campus Center in 2007 the men’s team played home games at Romney Field House, which seats roughly 2,000 people.

Three home men’s hockey games brought in more than $10,000 each in ticket sales. Oswego’s Oct. 16, 2010 game against Bradford at the beginning of the season made $14,036, the most of any single regular season athletic event. The team’s Nov. 11, 2010 game against SUNY Plattsburgh raised $11,483 and
the Feb. 19, 2011 game against SUNY Geneseo near the season’s end took in $11,088. 

The men’s team won each of the three home games that made more than $10,000. The Campus Center Ice Arena was sold out for each game.  

The women’s hockey team, a relatively new program at SUNY Oswego, also plays in the ice arena, but draws much smaller crowds. Ticket sales to women’s hockey games during the 2010-2011 season amounted to about $2,000. 
 
The men’s and women’s basketball teams play home games in Max Ziel Gymnasium at Laker Hall. The teams play all home games in the form of double headers. Tickets allow entrance to both games. The gymnasium’s bleacher seating holds 3,500 people, however, it rarely experiences the influx of fans the men’s hockey team does.

The last remnants of Club Crystal, the notorious nightclub that polarized a community, were carted away Monday afternoon. 

Dozens of buyers packed the first floor of the three-story bar, which had a troubled history of liquor violations, for an auction. 
 
Crystal DiGregorio looked on as Brzostek’s Auction Service sold off the contents of her bar. The bidding shifted back and forth between bar and restaurant owners battling for big ticket items, and bargain hunters vying for smaller deals. 
     
From a neon ‘Open’ sign hanging in the window ($60) and rotating Disco balls ($17.50 each), to electronic cash register systems ($2,500) and a deep fryer unit ($1,250), virtually everything, including several sinks was sold in less than two hours. 
         
The auction easily netted thousands of dollars for DiGregorio, who seemed more an unwilling bystander than a departing club owner. 
            
The bar’s 17-camera closed-circuit security system ($1,000) and ID scanner ($70) sold quickly. 
            
DiGregorio, 28, touted the scanner and security system as a way to bar underage drinkers and keep order. The technology, however, proved unsuccessful in preventing a steady flow of liquor violations and visits by police. 
             
Club Crystal shuttered its doors in September 2011 after the state’s Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control revoked the establishment’s liquor license and issued multiple fines. The club had been dealing with around 17 liquor violations stretching back to as early as 2007 and had already had its license suspended in January 2011.
           
Liquor Authority officials at the time described Club Crystal’s record of liquor violations as atrocious.   
             
DiGregorio would not have been allowed to hold a liquor license for two years.
             
The dance club was originally modeled after the “Coyote Ugly” theme and sported bar top dancers. The “Club Crystal Girls” were meant to give the club a
New York City feel. There was even talk of a Club Crystal reality television show based on DiGregorio’s life. A rough cut of a pilot appeared online, but the
project never came to fruition. 
             
With cobwebs forming on the stage lighting and the 2,000-square foot dance floor empty, DiGregorio now plans to sell the property. The nightclub, which employed 25 people, occupied the old Ferris Wheel Tavern across from Old City Hall. 
             
The property is assessed at $140,000 and its prominent location near other bars on Water Street means it will likely continue to be used as a bar of some sort in the future. 
             
DiGregorio has talked about moving back to California. The Oswego High School alumna originally gained prominence as a model and adult film star while living in the Golden State.
             
According to property records, DiGregorio and ex-husband Jon Hoffman still own a 3,400-square foot home at 6 Elizabeth Street, Oswego, assessed at
$255,000. Property records also indicate Gregorio owns a 1,400-square foot home in Palmdale, CA.
