3O JUS T LIK E MOMS HOME COOKING By Mary Pat Buchanan Staff Writer The food here on campus to most students is about as exciting as watching corn grow. As always, students con- stantly complain about the food served by the four eat- ing spots, the Rathskeiier Tbetter known as the Rat'Q, Fast Foods, the All- You-Can-Eat cafeteria, and the a la carte cafeteria, all located in the student cen- ter. It is an everyday con- versation to most students to talk about how the gravy tastes like water, the ham- burgers have too much so y- bean filler, or the pressed turkey has too much fat. Most of the time students cannot think of anything else to talk about while con- versing over a meal, so complaining about the food becomes major conversa- tion. However, the food is pro- vided by the American Res- taurant Association TARAy and they do everything pos- sible to prepare a meal just like mom cooks . But mom usually doesn 't have to cook three meals a day for 4,000 people or more every day. ARA is working for and with the students by provid- ing a survey for students to express their complain ts and suggestions on how to im- prove the quality of the food being served. With four possible places to eat on campus, one should be able to like some- CAMPUS FOOD SERVICE thing on the menu. The Rathskeller offers hambur- gers, hot dogs, sandwiches, even bagles with cream Cheese and sometimes live entertainment for the stu- dents. The fast foods grill serves hamburgers, pizzas, and provides jukebox music for one 's listening pleasure. The cafeteria offers sand- wiches plus meats and vegetables for a weli-bal- anoed meal. An addition to the menu here that seems to be popular is the baked potato with a choice of se v- eral sauces and toppings. At the a la carte cafeteria, the hearty, hungry eater can get all the seconds and thirds he likes at a fixed price. Sometimes ARA has spe- cial Pizza Nights, 'iHoagie Nights or even HSteak Nights, where one can eat all he can on these fixed menu nights. The Rathskeiler, which stays open till 9:00 p.m., of- fers a Coffee House with live entertainment, and some- times big screen tele vision is set up for major sporting events such as the World Series. Popcorn is also sold. Also sponsored by ARA are hamburger and hot dog oookouts outside in the am- phitheater. Still, if one is to tally against buying a meal ticket or just tired of the same 'ole food, he can patronize many of the fast-food and dining spots near campus. STUDENTS EATING IN the fast food grill are entertained by jukebox music and talking with friends.
