Saga replaces homecooking in cafeteria-style setting Top, Nancy Ziegler lacks enthusiasm for another Saga meal. While Charles Shoemaker and Dabe Brauer search for something edible in the Saga entrees, Mary O ' Neil makes sure everyone gets their vegetables, above. What did Creightonites complain about when they weren ' t talking about stud y conditions, the inverted cones, temperatures in the Alumni library or registration? You ' re right! Saga food service! Another favorite pastime of Creighton dorm residents was to as- sail the food service. According to Jim Greisch, Busi- ness junior and student manager of Becker cafeteria, the compliments were few and far between. There are always dumb com- plaints like ' the peanut butter is too stiff or ' the ice is too cold, ' he said. And alot of time ' s we have a good meal. Greisch added that the legitimate complaints are acted upon as quickly as possible. Greisch said he noticed a change in Becker. The advent of more freshmen, he said, to the west quad changed the atmosphere in Becker. Don Gatch, Becker food service manager, said his student staff was excellent, and he wouldn ' t trade them for the world. What is it like working for the food service? For Eileen O ' Shaughnessy, Nursing sopho- more, the work is a nice break. As far as working, it ' s really handy, she said. Everybody is nice. They ' re alot of fun sometimes. The only thing that is frustrating is when kids mess up the trays. Gatch said he had a problem get- ting enough students to work at the beginning of the year. It ' s always a problem the first couple of weeks, he said. By the end of the first month students need to work. Saga had its specials at Halloween and Thanksgiving. There were a couple of specials in the spring semester, also. Brandeis cafeteria lengthened its hours by opening early to accommodate the new resi- dents in Sheridan. According to Piers Banks, food service director, the increased en- rollment has little effect on the lines. Banks added that he feels the food service has come a long way in qual- ity in the past few years. 26 — after the classes
