Some of the results were less than appetizing. The quality of restaurants’ sanitation is reviewed and given a raw numerical score. Points are deducted for various infractions. Harden dining hall received a raw score of 89.5 percent, Acorn Cof fee Shop received a raw score of 88 percent, Octagon’s score was 91.5 percent, Danieley Commons’ score was 93.5 percent and newly re-opened Cantina Roble’s raw score was 90 percent. Both the Elon catering pantry and McEwen dining hall won with the top scores on cam pus: 94.5 percent. An establishment can raise its score by two points if the manager takes a 14-hour course called SafeServe. This course teaches res taurant sanitation practices, proper food temperature and proper handling of food. All of Elon’s dining facili ties managers have taken the course, along with a representative of Sandy’s Subs. Although not all of Elon’s dining facilities’ scores received top marks, local restaurants such as The Side track Grill and Subway consistently have excellent scores. Sidetrack has an almost perfect score of 99 percent, and Subway weighed in with 98.5 percent. In addition to The Sidetrack Grill and Subway, West End Station also receive an “A” rating with a score of 92.5 percent. The Elon Pizza Hut received a score of 90 percent, Domino’s Pizza topped that with a 96 percent, while Sandy’s Subs only got a raw-score of 88.5 percent. ‘ V All inspections are -unan nounced. If a restaurant receives a score lower than 90 percent, by law, they can request a re-inspection within 15 days of the infraction. The Alamance County Health Department takes restaurant sanita tion and the inspections very seri ously. See DINING page?

For seniors, it means ending classes, doing research and saying goodbye. For freshmen, it’s getting used to the weather and finishing up their first year of college. For every one, it is a new start. For Greek organizations, spring offers a chance for a little friendly competition, some creative shirts and a whole week of getting together and showing their spirit. “The be ginning of Greek Week is most ex citing because you don’t know who’s going to win and what the outcomes will be,” said Norm Schroth, assistant director of Greek Life. One of the largest events of Greek Week is the dance competi tion. Zeta Tau Alpha and Sigma Sigma Sigma tied for first place so rorities and Kappa Sigma won for the fraternities. Alpha Omicron Pi and Sigma Chi took home second place while Alpha Chi Omega and Pi Kappa Phi took third. Many Greeks agree that the dance is a time where all fraternities and sororities can come together and unite to have a good time and feel the flow of fun and welcome competition. “Every event is a big deal, but the dance is probably the most popular,” said Melissa Murphey, di rector of Greek Life. Many stu dents share this opinion and refer to the dance as their favorite event because it is a chance to cheer ev eryone on, not just one organiza tion. Even though Peter Tongren, Kappa Sigma’s choreographer, dropped his cane during the dance competition, he said that it went well and was a lot of fun. “Every game is pretty competitive, but that’s what makes Greek Week such a good time,” he said. The most interesting part of the dance for Alpha Kappa Alpha mem ber Shayla Ferguson was the efforts of so many people.
