The Pz7of/Oct.24 Page 6 For Your Information... Cafeteria makes improvments by Nic Floyd staff writer Congested food lines, lack of food choices, and too much repetition of the same food—these are just some of the opinions that students share about Gardner Webb’s cafeteria. John Simpson, director of food services, hopes that these attitudes will change soon. Simpson and his staff have worked diligently to improve the presentation and the quality of food in the cafeteria. Simpson said, “My goal for five years has been to improve the functionality of the building." To make this goal a reality, Simpson rearranged the hot-food lines to reduce traffic flow. He put up signs marking each area of the cafeteria and he established a phone number which students can call to find out the daily menu. In addition to improving the physical appearance of the cafeteria, new food lines such as the waffle bar, vegetable bar, deli bar and special hot bar have been added. Also new items are available on the salad bar. To try to solve the problem of food repetition, the Food Committee meets the first Wednesday and last Thursday of the month at 3 p.m. in the Special Dining Room. Any student interested in participating with the Food Committee is invited to attend the meetings.

School spirit pays off for students by Denise Horton contributing writer School spirit and extra visitation privileges were effective incentives during Homecoming’s annual dorm decorating contest. Plans began early for most dorms, who followed the theme “Under the Big Top” when deciding on decorations to catch the judges’ eyes. Mauney and HAPY did just that as they won “Best Male Dorm” and “Best Female Dorm,” respectively. “Best Overall” was awarded to Myers/Spangler, who completed their decorations with residents dressed up as clowns and other circus performers. Winning dorms will be awarded one to two weeks of visitation. However, the remaining dorms that participated found out that school spirit pays off as they will be awarded several days of visitation privileges. (The exact amount of visitation to be granted in both cases was still being negotiated at press time). The week of visitation will be held sometime after fall break and will last from 3-11 p.m. each day, according to Juls Hux, assistant director of residence life.
