Food Service Controversy
Moves To Back Burner
As a result of the barrage of
complaints received this
week, the food service has
finally improved. ARA, who
made the lowest bid for the
contract last spring, has been
beset by troubles ever since
they began their operation the
first term of summer school.
During summer school and
the football camp the food
service was plagued with
troubles ranging from shor
tages of food to a “B”
sanitation rating (80.5%). As
students returned in the fall
not only did some of these
problems continue, but more
were added. Rumors of the
problems spread like wildlife.
Most students had a very
negative opinion of ARA even
before they had eaten the first
meals. Other problems which
have caused the management
a great grief within the last
two weeks are dirty glasses
and dirty silver ware. When
questioned concerning this
earlier in the week, Barry
Stallings, the SA Business
Manager, told THE LANCE
that “they realized that they
did have problems, but they
were not trying to cover them
up, only solve them.”
Many students spoke with
Barry Cheatham, local
manager, and Joe Grogan, a
district manager who has
been trying to get the
problems solved, concerning
their complaints. The Student
Association conducted a
survey asking for each
student’s complaints. Lists
ranged anywhere in length
from 1 to 200 complaints.
Delivered by Student
Association President Celeste
Tillson to President Perkin-
son, the complaints were
stud ed by both of them as well
as Barry Stallings.

Expected Floor F^ht
Fails to Materialize
A News Analysis
by Lin Thompson
A dramatic series of revelations by LANCE editor Michael
Greene defused an expected controversy over continued Student
Association funding of the college yearbook, the Lamp and
Shield, and led to a surprisingly amicable settlement of the
question and subsequent passage of the rest of the budget at last
night’s meeting of the Interdormitory Senate.
Granted permission to speak by Senate President Bob Haley,
Greene produced fuigures demonstrating conclusively that the
Lamp and Shield could become self-sufficient immediately
releiving the strained, $28,000 Student Association budget of a
$7,000 appropriation to keep the financially troubled publication
afloat.
Greene then revealed that in discussions with the Business
Manager of St. Andrews, Barry Stallings, and with the chief
executive of Hunter Publishing Company, the Yearbook’s
publisher, he had uncovered some $4,551 dollars left from last
year’s Lamp and Shield appropriation which was edited by Sally
Beaty, now an admissions counselor for St Andrews, existed
only as an incomplete order for a cover and several unfinished
pages out of the 176 contracted for in the fall of 1976.
“For aU practical purposes, “Greene said, “we have to write
off last year. There is no way we can go back and put it together
a year after the fact”
Greene’s investigations found that $1226.39 remained in the
yearbook’s account in the Business Office, and $3780 was in its
account with Hunter publishing. Of that amount, Greene said,
about $3325 at the most could be recovered after outstanding
expenses from last year’s effort were settled.
In arguing that the yearbook could in fact support itself with
