 Students discover there is more to the cafeteria than what appears On the Menu by robin We'll eat dinner at five, let's walk to Lyle for a change.' A change in what? The food? Of course not! The same variety of food is offered at both dining halls. Then why the change? For many students the cafeterias arc much more than just a place to eat. People often venture to the dining halls to catch some last minute studying before an exam, or to use the meal time to hear some of the latest gossip while drinking a cup of coffee. The most popular use of the cafeterias, besides eating, is socializing. They are one of the best places to meet with friends and talk once or twice a day. Cafeterias are often prime spots for meeting members of the opposite sex. Granted. It isn't easy to flirt with your mouth full of potatoes, but sitting and scoping are very popular. It is even important for some students to be seated In the right spot. The best spot at Lyle is in the front section with your seat facing the door. This way you can scope everyone that walks in the door. explains a Landes rosenfeid sophomore. There arc more aspects to being on the meal plan than scoping prospective dates. Students find many ways to make the most of cafeteria eating. They are entertained by watching some unsuspecting fool turn the salt shaker upside down when the lid was unscrewed. People even get a real kick out of sending strange things on the conveyor belt so the people In the kitchen can share in the laughter. The biggest applause however, comes when another fool drops his tray. This embarrassing situation usually receives a standing ovation. Students also find great pleasure in placing a glass on the rim underneath the chairs, making them fall when the chair is pulled out. In Lyle, one can always count on at least one glass hitting the ground during each meal. Eating in the dining halls is not something that every student looks forward to doing, but many of them discover that there is more to the cafeterias than what appears on the menu. ■ 28 Cafeterias
