Holy Cow

According to press release from the UO, the school and Holy Cow have reached an agreement and the popular organic eatery is going to remain in the EMU for the next five years.

"After a competitive bid process, the university selected Laughing Planet, an Oregon restaurant firm, to take over the space occupied by Holy Cow. However, the university and Laughing Planet were not able to reach an agreement," says the release.

Inquiring minds want to know why U and the Planet couldn't reach an agreement.

The release left unsaid that the decision to replace Holy Cow raised the ire of vegans and Holy Cow lovers throughout the campus community.

According to the an April 19 story in the R-G, Holy Cow owner Kathee Lavine was looking into legal recourse to the café's now-moot removal from the EMU.

For now, the students have their Cow back, and Laughing Planet lovers can still get their burrito fix across town on Blair Blvd.

The only big change at Holy Cow, says the release, is the new option to use credit or debit cards.
