Saga
Pledges
Better
Service
Saga, the company catering the
University Food Service, has replaced
Food Service Director Frank Dailey with
a new man. Bill Ernest. In a meeting
between Mr. Silas Vaughn, Director of
Administrative Affairs; Dean McKay; the
JOURNAL; Mr. Fred Burger, Saga
District Manager; and Mr. Bill Ernest, new
Cafteria Manager, Burger stated that this
was not an unusual move for Saga and
that they were "very, very positive about
the change."
Vaughn also stressed the positive
aspect of the change on the part of both
Saga and the University. He said that the
University wishes Dailey well, and that
one of the reasons for engaging a good
service was for the flexibility personnel
which they have which the university
can't maintain. He further stated that
management is a primary part of food
service and that he felt that Ernest's
experience would be a great asset
Ernest comes to the University from
Winthrop College. Prior to that he served
with Sa^ at West Texas State University
and with Marriot, another food service
company. Burger said that the company
"felt very lucky to have Ernest with
them."
Presently, Ernest, his wife and three
children are living in Rock Hill but plan
to re-locate in Charlotte in the near
future.
Ernest said that changes will be made
in the program that is being offered to
the students; he plans to offer the full
Saga plan, which he said we have not
gotten in the past. He emphasized his
willingness to deal with student
complaints and suggestions.
Either he or his assistant, Tom
Nicholson, can be found in the cafeteria
at most any time. He hopes students will
feel free to come to them at any time. He
also mentioned that students have access
to a suggestion box and to the Food
Service Committee at all times. He
promised that all suggestions will be
looked into, though it may not be
feasible to adopt all of the suggestions
made.
Though Saga plans to do everything
possible to make the students happier
with the food service, Mr. Vaughn
mentioned that they too have problems
with the students; for example, many
students do not bus their trays, fail to
separate their silver and their dishes, and
carry off the silver, the glasses, and
dishes. He emphasized that in the long
run these things hurt the students because
funds which must be diverted to replace
these thefts could be used for other
purposes.
Qualijlcations of students run
ning for Editors and Business
Managers of the three student
f)uhlications-SANSKRIT,
ROGUES 'N RASCALS.

Dailey Talks To Journal
Mr. Frank Dailey, who was appointed
last fall by SAGA Food Services as UNCC
Director of Food Services, was recently
dismissed from his position by the
company. This announcement came as a
complete shock to Mr. Dailey, as well as
to the University.
Mr. Dailey told the JOURNAL that the
only reason SAGA has given for the
dismissal was that the company would
not be able to comply with the demands
Mr. Dailey had made for the University
for the next two or three years.
SAGA told Mr. Dailey, he said, that
they would not be able to make him
happy here whm, only two or three
weeks before, Mr. Dailey had told the
management that he was very pleased
with working with the students and
faculty at UNCC (and with living in
Charlotte.)
Mr. Dailey feels that the students and
faculty were satisfied with his food
service in general, except for a few
complaints about high prices on a la carte
foods.
Dietz Returns
For Third Time
Acting team Norman and Sandra Dietz
will be featured in a performance of
"Fresh Cookies" at 8 p.m., March 4 in
the University Union.
The appearance is sponsored by the
United Religious Ministry here. The
performance is free and open to the
public.
The Dietz couple is on its eighth tour
to the West Coast and back performing
on University campuses and in churches.
Much of their material deals with matters
of religious significance.
They perform Norman's unique
material, replacing old ones with new
ones at random as Norman finishes
writing them-sometimes, he says, before.
At home in New York City in January,
1968, they opened Theatre-at-Noon, a
luncheon theatre series at Saint Peter's
Gate in the midtown office district; and,
in February, 1969, they returned for a
five-month stay with their own series
"The Noonshow."
A collection of six of Norman'% plays,
titled "Fables 8t Vaudevilles & Plays",
was published by John Knox in 1968.
"Fresh Cookies" will be the third
appearance of the Dietz couple here.
Hope For Life
By Joe H. McCorkle
The UNCC Environmental Committee
is making plans to organize a campus
teach-in on April 22.
The theme of the environmental
teach-in will be, MAN AND HIS
ENVIRONMENT: HOPE FOR LIFE.
The S.G.A. sponsored committee is
under the leadership of a national
organization known as Environmental
Teach-In, Inc. of Washington D. C.
The aim of the National Teach-In is to
encourage the nation's students to
organize April 22 environmental teach-ins
on their campuses, and associated efforts
in their communities.
According to the National Committee,
"Successful teach-ins on all campuses on
the same day will have a dramatic impact
on the environmental conscience of the
nation."
Thus, the April 22 teach-in will be an
educational effort in arousing public
opinion with hopes that necessary steps
will be taken to improve the quality of
the environment.
The April 22 teach-in at UNCC will
focus on the following topics: the visual
environment, the human environment,
the physical environment, and the
technological environment.
The UNCC Environmental Committee
will sponsor a meeting on Thursday
^rch 5, at 12:00 p.m. in U231 in which
Dr. James W. Clay, Assistant Professor of
Geography, will speak on environmental
problems. The meeting is open to all
studente, faculty, and staff.
Membership in the UNCC
Environmental Committee is open to all
students.
