New Plans Devised for Cafeteria Mr. Dixie Leonard, food service director of Marriott Corporation's cafeteria, says there will be nine special events this semester at SAGA, with an added “pace changer every week. The first special event was held near the end of September, the Oktoberfest. The atmosphere of the lunchroom was more like a cozy, exotic restaurant, with candlelight and red-checkered table-cloths. Many workers wore costumes, and patrons were entertained by accordian music. Pseudo-beer was served along with such dishes as sauerkraut and franks, marinated chicken, and German chocolate coke. Another scheduled event was a Halloween Fest which included a costume contest. The winner received a meal ticket. Second and third prizes were a color tv and a bike, respectively. Prizes for a jack-o-lantem carving competition were also awarded. These events in the cafeteria are never held on a weekend because so many students leave campus at that time. Over the Christmas vacation. Jack Hopper Dining Hall was renovated. New and better equipment was installed, a new floor put in the kitchen, an access-way to Leone Cole was built, and asbestos was removed from the ceilings. In the spring of 1988. there was a “tacky tourist party complete with an oyster bar and scuba gear. Mr. Leonard sad Ns philosophy about managing the lunchroom is to “have as much fun as possible. —Janette Chambers— Dixie, the manager of the cafeteria, instructs a student worker on greeting students and punching their meal tickets. Joe Reiker and Brian Early, of Gunters-ville, Alabama, socialize and enjoy a leisurely meal between afternoon classes. CAFETERIA CHANGES 19
