As for the business end,
McBrayer said that a new
accounting system will be
employed and that the
books would be audited at
the end of the present ad
ministration.
Commenting on Admin

ernment relations, Loy
stated that he will attempt
to get on better terms
with the college’s offi
cials. “More can be done
through cooperation,” he
said but quickly added that

they hope to get the Ad

By Becky Carter
The results of the Food
Preference Suvey has re
vealed some of the stu
dent likes and dislikes
concerning cafeteria
food. Of the 620 students
polled, only 489 handed
in legible forms.
According to Mr. Steve
Bucko, manager of the
food service, the majority
of the students polled con
sider the preparation, ap-
pearance.temperature and
quantity of the food as
acceptable or above av
erage.
For the majority of the
students, solid meat
items were considered
important to the menu.
Some of the more popu
lar choices were roast
beef, steak, roast turkey,
chicken in different forms
and Italian dishes. Some
of the more disliked foods
were ham loaf, roast veal.
baked halibut, lamb stew
and corned beef.
Mr. Bucko considers
the results of the survey
an important tool in plan
ning future menus and
plans to comply with the
wishes of the students.
Mr. Bucko stated that the
cafeteria did not want to
become repetitious in
serving certain foods
but they do want to serve

“The Pacific area is
important, that is why
we are in Viet Nam,
friendly to Japan and Na
tionalist China. If they
fall, we lose control of
these vital areas and sit
here in fortress America.
We must have some con

emphasized Goldwater.
“Freedom is worth tak
ing dangers over.”
‘There are no easy
answers, no good dia

“By 1972, one may see
a candidate proposing
complete withdrawal, an
other adherance to our
commitments. The Amer
ican people will have the
opportunity to say what
they want to do,’ ended
Goldwater.
A question and answer
period followed in which a
number of questions in
volving areas of the Su
preme Court, the war and
the welfare system, were
raised.
The audience was
greatly receptive and re

answers.
