Food service
committee
Miss AKPsi
hears gripes
wins Miss 49er
by peggy Caldwell
Student and faculty gourmets
who have complaints about the
food service at UNCC will soon be
able to express their gripes and
suggestions on detailed forms to
be reviewed by the Campus Food
Service Committee. The
Committee, which held its 1970
organizational meeting on
November 11, will soon install
suggestion boxes in both
cafeterias to serve as outlets for
diners to air gripes in the current
attack on SAGA.
The Committee, chaired by Dr.
Larry Bostian, directed the
complaints and ideas that they
had received to Mr. Bill Ernest,
SAGA Director of Food Services.
Complying with complaints left
over from last year, Mr. Ernest
agreed to extend the lunch hour
to 1:30 on Tuesday and Thursday
and to serve a Continental
Breakfast from 8:30 to 9:00 each
morning.
Problems discussed at the
meeting include poor menu
selection, too few special meals,
no meat for breakfast, stale
desserts, unfair selection of steak
nights, inadequate milk selection,
and short meal schedules. Most of
the gripes concern the residence
halls’ cafeteria; the Committee has
received no real complaints on the
food itself from the commuter
students.
As may be seen in the cafeteria.
apparently the dissatisfaction
expressed by the Food Service
Committee and by other
interested individuals has effected
results in many cases.
Instead of being only a
complaint-review organization,
the Food Service Committee
wants this year to serve more as
an advisor to SAGA, offering
suggestions concerning the food
service in order that SAGA may
better satisfy the students.
The members of the Committee
plan to investigate the reasons
why SAGA was chosen to serve
UNCC and to determine whether
or not the company is fulfilling its
contact.
Spring
scheduling
Advising for second semester
will be held December 7-11.
Any degree student who
expects to be back next semester
should participate in order to
maintain registration priority.
Schedule Booklets are available

national charter at UNCC. After

Kavanaugh said Villanova’s
Kappa Sigma chapter would have
liked to maintain possession of
the bottle that has traveled more
than 28,000 miles since its first
presentation in 1966. As he
handed the bottle over to Willis he
confessed, “I was going to steal
it.”
Bonnie Cone and Dean Weston
welcomed the guests of the
fraternity brothers which included
the national worthy grand master
of Kappa Sigma, Horton Early.

down our forefathers.”
All the guests at the banquet
were entertained at a cocktail
party at the Barringer Inn.
Ed Kavanaugh of Villanova

Thurmond Willis the local
president of Kappa Sigma, after
reciting a brief history of the baby
bottle.
A brother of UNCC’s Kappa
Sigma will present the baby bottle
to the next chapter of Kappa
Sigma to be chartered.
Chancellor Colvard, Miss
Early was the keynote speaker
at the dinner for two hundred. He
told the Kappa Sigmas that the
precedents and actions of the

future generations”. He told the
audience that if “we as individuals
