Opinions published do not necessarily reDect those of N'orth Caro lina Wesleyan College. CPS Dorm condition not college’s fault You often hear men at Wesleyan say that they are not treated equally. If you compare dorms, it is easy to see which sex gets the better treatment. The women’s dorms have a phone on each floor and one dorm received new lobby furniture this fall. It appears that the men are getting shortchanged, but if a person delves further into the situation, it is apparent why the women are getting the better deal. For instance, Nash dorm did have a phone on the north side of the first floor, but resident director Anthony Rice decided not to replace it after it was ripped away from its foundation. In addition, the hallways, lobbies, and bathrooms in the men’s dorms are often abused. Beer bottles have been found strewn across the floors near the trash cans many times each weekend. This semester vandalism charges in the men’s dorms remain weU above that in the women’s dorms. Nash dorm is by far the worst. As of mid-February, Nash has had one door busted, 15 windows broken, many trash cans thrown out the windows, and its furniture abused. This situation wiU proba bly continue until something is done, and the only thing that can be done is a change in attitude. Men of Wesleyan must clean up their act. Only then will the men’s and women’s dorms receive equal treatment. Give us your recipes The Food Service Department is attempting to put together a cookbook to sell this semester at the North Carolina Restaurant Show and the National Restaurant Show as well as on campus. We would like everyone to be a part of our project by bringing to Doc's your favorite recipes. Everything from various appe tizers, salads, soups, to main dishes, desserts, or beverages. If you don't have a favorite recipe, maybe you have a helpful hint or two, or a unique gift idea. Bring in as many as you like! After each recipe or idea you submit, you will be given credit in the cookbook. All appropri ate donations will be published. Just drop off all recipes and ideas at Doc's Restaurant. We are very eager to begin designing the cookbook. David Ferrell has agreed to design the cover and do the illustrations. We do have one problem, though, and that is what to call otu" book. If you have any suggestions, just write them on your recipes when turning them in. All proceeds made from the sale of the cookbooks will go toward educational grants in the Food Service and Hospitality Major.
