Some say cleanliness is next to
godliness. MC cafeteria is lining up their
godliness with their cleanliness.
A concern of students this semester
is the 84.5 percent (B) sanitation rating
received in the cafeteria from the Sanitation
Department. Ratings this low will make
students avoid the cafeteria.
Points were deducted for some minor
reasons such as temperature requirements
for preparing food and improper cleaning
methods for utensils and equipment. Stu
dents may not know now, but the sanitation
rating had nothing to do with the food they
were serving.
Cafeteria manager Chris Allen, said,
“The sanitation rating was all physical re
lated because the building is old, and that
is something we have no control over.”
Many students may not be aware that
the rating has gone up to 92.5 (A grade).
The new rating represents the cafeteria’s
commitment to improvement by seeking
ways 'to ensure the safety of food and
facilities.
For many students the cafeteria is the
only option they have since they have pur
chased a meal plan for the semester. Most
students can’t afford to eat off campus.
Students who live in the Pines and Cape
Fear Commons at least have an option of
using their own kitchens included in their
suites.
“I opted to not get a meal plan this
semester,” said senior Krishana Polite.
“After three years of eating cafeteria food
it was time for me to utilize the kitchen in
my apartment”.
MC is consistently working on godli
ness. Cleanliness seems to be falling right

International students brought
their cuhure to the campus through
the Fourth Annual International
Food Festival that was held in the
Bern’s Student Center last Tues
day.
The exotic essence delighted
the immense amount of faculty,
staff, and students that attended the
event. There were numerous tables
brimmed with food, and at each table
was an international student serving
food to represent their country. The
international students served every
one with culture hospitality;
