"It was a little disappointing," Madej said about having to pay for the game. "But it's only 25 cents a game. If it was a dollar, it would be ridiculous."
According to O'Brien, plans are also underway to drastically improve the game room.
"We have about a 1,000 square foot game room and we are going to 2,800 square feet," O'Brien said. "I hope to have three 46-inch LCD TVs, two with Wiis, one with X-Box or vice versa, whichever is more popular."
O'Brien also hopes to bring two miniature bowling lanes and touch screen games such as Scene It to the room.
"We started plans for this new game room this past May," O'Brien said. "Our hope is to have this open sometime next semester, but I can't make any promises."
The new game room would go where mailboxes were once located off the main lobby of the SU.
The mailboxes were removed from the building and put in different spots throughout campus because students complained about leaving their dorms for mail, according to Monica Rudzik, director of the SU.
O'Brien says that charging of the games will continue into the new game room but that prices will remain the same.
"We hope to make it the place to go," O'Brien said.
