Tanya Green 30 ARA It's not “four-star” Although it might not be considered “four star” dining, the Dining Service offers students a variety of food choices ranging from “gourmet” dinners to pizza. Students consistently complain about the quality of the food, but most agree that the cooks are not to blame. As one student put it, “It’s not their fault they have to keep reheating left-overs.” The dining service, run by ARA Food Services, has received much bad publicity about its food and op- erations. Students have affectionately nicknamed the Grill the “Scarf and Barf’ and the Rathskeller the “Rat dining Pit.” Owing much of the complaints to the monotony of the menu items, ARA has offered the students variety by opening a new Deli and a pizza parlor. Along with the regular services, a few “gourmet” dinners featuring items such as rib-eye steak, stuffed pork-chop, and roast duck have been served. When student apathy is at its peak, what better way to sum it up than with one student's ho-hum attitude of the food. “It isn’t all that great, but at least it ain't dog food.” Lee Pierce
