This year. Mars Hill College along with Marriott have given the students more spice in their cafeteria life. There is no longer the worry of missing a meal because of inconvenience and short meal periods. The cafeteria is offering continuous service from 7 a.m. - 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday and from 7 a.m. - 6 p.m. Friday through Sunday. According to Mike Nagorka, new manager of the cafeteria. Mars Hill’s continuous meal service is the first one in Western Carolina, and it has set an example for other colleges and universities around the area. Another program which Nagorka is excited about is the “Just Say Yes” program. With this program, students are allowed to get whatever food they want. Nagorka said, “Just help yourself to it.” No longer do the students have to stand in the long lines to get another hamburger. Cosmetic improvements of the cafeteria have been made also. To add life to the cafeteria, the staff has added tablecloths. In addition, the presentation of the cafeteria has changed. For example, now the dessert bar is “serve yourself.” For the first time in the school’s history, the college has ^ven the students the flexibility to choose a meal plan. For many students, this has been long in coming. Now, seniors can choose from 7, 14, or 21 meals per week, while juniors and sophomores can choose from 14 to 21 meals per week. Juniors who live in the Dixon-Palmer apartments or the Townhouses have the option of choosing 7 meals per week. Freshmen are required to purchase 21 meals per weak. The flexibility gives commuters the chance to eat on campus, and according to Nagorka, saves students money. All of the flexibility is credited to the Smart Card ID’s. The Smart Cards have been out for three years and are computer chips on regular ID cards. See Page 6 r/'- ■f- M" The end of summer is fast approaching.
