The Clarion March 31. 1995 Page 3 CAMPUS LIFE New addition made to dining at BC Jeremey Montgomery Clarion Staff Writer During the first week of March, Jerry Jackson, Head of Food Service, decided it was time to make a change in the food being served at Brevard Col lege. The Food Service Staff decided that the idea of having genuine Subway sandwichss available in the Student Union would be a great idea. The students were excited to hear about the upcoming Subway planned for the campus, until everyone found out the cost of the sandwiches. The ideal plan was to sell six-inch subs for $3. Although some students complain about the food at Brevard College, not every one has $3 to pay for lunch everyday. The only disadvantage to this plan of having Subway sandwiches is that students were unable to use their meal cards to pay for some of them. In the Student Union, student ID cards are granted $2.50 worth of credit. Unfortunately, it was less than the school was paying for the sandwiches; therefore, cash had to be paid to cover food costs. If students had used their meal cards, Brevard food services would have lost about 50 %, according to Jackson. Over a period of a week, only six subs were sold. It was too expensive to have all the subs prepared if no one was buying them. Food cost was increasing, so Jackson decided to do away with the plan. Although unsuccessful with having Subway at Brevard, Food Services came up with a new plan. The staff decided to make their own subs to be served in the Student Union. Do not hesitate to try a sandwich because these are not ordindary subs. Jackson said, "We are going to try to make these subs as close to Subway as possible." The bread used for these subs is home-made, prepared by the Food Services staff. These subs are served in the Student Union, and students will have the opportunity to use their meal cards. The staff plans to start off with three selections of subs: tuna, cold-cut combo, and turkey. Jackson stated, "Any ideas that students might have "bout this, I am willing to try." If stu dents and staff work together, food at Brevard would more than likely become better. A survey will soon be taken to receive input concerning opinions and ideas. Hopefully, these ideas will be considered carefully and will help change for better results. Delta Pi Chapter hosts BRCC in recent spelling competition Jennifer DeSaegher Clarion Staff Writer On Thursday, March 23, Delta Pi, the Brevard College chapter of Phi Theta Kappa, took part in its first competitive team spelling bee. Compe tition was high as the Blue Ridge Community College Phi Theta Kappa chapter served as Brevard’s opponents. The competition, called "The Battle of the Brains”, was exciting as Allen Sher, a member of the Hender sonville Kiwanis Club, served as an animating facilitator. Throughout the evening, Mr. Sher entertained the contestants and audience with humorous anecdotes from previous spelling bees he has conducted. Participants were given spelling lists weeks before the competition so that participants could polish their spelling skills for the big event. Spelling words ranged from simple words such as "island" to more difficult words such as "Rheumatism." If a contestant was not able to understand the full meaning of a word, Mr. Sher gave an illustration using the word in a sentence. At the end of each round of intense spelling, a bonus word, not included on the list, was given to one contestant from each team. Out of twelve rounds of competi tion, only two were completed, giving Blue Ridge the edge. At the end of the night. Blue Ridge Community College had come up with a victory over Bre vard with the finar score of 170-166. Both teams are to be commended for a job well done. The Brevard participants were Kim Button, Amy Cuccia, Bobbie Jo Simmons, Mindy Ruch, Kerri Sorkin, Linda Epperson, and Andy Collins.
