Thursday, Sept. 23, 1982/Kaleidoscope/.7^ For Hsu, UNCA life interesting By Dana Murdock Readers of the first two issues of the Kaleidoscope undoubtedly noticed the various cartoons and il lustrations which decorated the pages. These are drawn by the prize- winning artist Hai-Kang Hsu. Hai-Kang Hsu, a freshman at UN CA, draws the “Life at UNCA” car toons with himself as the main character. He also draws a bulldog. Spike, in some of the cartoons. Spike does not exist, but Hai-Kang Hsu said, “I wish he did.” Born in Taiwan, Hai-Kang and his family moved to the United States in 1976. ' “My parents wanted me to come to America for education,” said Hai- Kang. After arriving in America, Hai- Kang Hsu and his family lived in New York for two years, then moved to Florida. While living in Florida, the Hsu family read an advertisement for an Asheville motel that was for sale. The family came to Asheville, liked the motel and location, and moved to Western North Carolina. Hai- Kang and his family still live in and own the Biltmore Motel on Sweeten Creek Road. Speaking of Asheville, Hai-Kang said, “I like the people, they are sim ple, nice people. My parents like the weather here.” Hai-Kang Hsu is not the only ar tistic member of his family. His brother is also a cartoonist, and at one time drew for a cartoon com pany in New York. When he was younger, Hai-Kang copied his brother’s art work, but has now developed a distinct style of his own. Hai-Kang does very little painting, and specializes in pen and ink drawings and pencil sketches. Hai-Kang only began cartooning and drawing the caricature of himself last year. His “Life at UNCA” series began with the fall semester. His caricatures are not only of himself, but of his friends as well as people he only sees on the streets. In 1979, Hai-Kang won the $200 first prize in the “Art Encounter ’79” art show and contest, and has received honorable mention on many of his other drawings. A 1982 graduate of T.C. Roberson High School, Hai-Kang plans to ma jor in computer engineering or elec tronics, rather than art. The freshman year of any college student can be new and sometimes overwhelming, especially if the stu dent is fairly new to a country and its language. Hai-Kang Hsu, if he is anything like the character he draws, seems to be coping with his “Life at UNCA” well. Readers of the Kaleidoscope will see more of his illustrations and views of the University in future issues. Cafeteria under new management R'v; T'l.nn. Wnlfo By Tina Wolfe Professional Food-Service Management [PFM], the company handling the UNCA meal plans, hired a new manager over the sum mer. Bill Flynn, the new manager, directs the services in the cafeteria located in the new student center. The facilities in the new cafeteria £ire better than those previously available in the old cafeteria. Flynn replaced most of the cafeteria staff when he first arrived. Many of these workers he replaced had developed bad attitudes and work habits. Flynn wants employees who care about the quali ty of their work. Many of the new employees are UNCA students. Flynn hired two new chefs, one of whom is a full-time student who worked in restaurants considered to be some of the best in North Carolina. Two additional managers, Rick Vogel and Kathy McMullin, help Flynn handle the increased size of the boarding population. There are approximately 400 students on the UNCA meal plan. The students pay $3.60 per person per day. There are more students on the meal plan this year than last year. Because many students do not eat every meal in the cafeteria the amount of money which the com pany has to spend on the individual student is increased. The more money that the company has to spend, the better the quality of its food and services. Flynn says that people will always complain about the food. It is not possible to cook for 400 people and please everyone. Bill Flynn has several ideas, however, which should provide the LFNCA student with an interesting variety of the traditional university fare. He considered raffling off turkeys before the coming holidays. Occa sional ethnic menus, such as Mex ican or Chinese dinners, and month ly steak nights are also considera tions. He would eventually like to see the installation of an outdoor barbecue pit and patio alongside the cafeteria. The cafeteria management meets bi-weekly with the Food Services Committee on Wednesdays at 3:30 p.m. The committee consists of two representatives from each floor in the high-rise and one representative from each dormitory in the dor mitory village. The conmiittee en courages the commuter students to elect a representative. The purpose of the committee is to voice complaints from students, of fer suggestions and establish open communication with the food ser vice management. ■ SHIRT EXPRESS ( SERENDIPITY SQUARE ) 640 MerrimonAve. Lettering While-U-Wait Suite‘j; ph. 704-253-6088 Clip this ad Asheville.N.C. 2880S for a 15% discount Decals & lettering on caps, jerseys, and T- shirts.
