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.
Thanks for your support!
