Back for seconds. Terrence Patterson Joanne for seconds of the macatoni Without mom ' s kitchen, midnight runs to the fridge for a snack and grabbing a bite to eat at any time of the day or night, Oglethorpians needed a new approach to food. They learned The Art of Eating Time for dessert! While waiting in line for the main coursejoe Helwig, Randy Padgett, Alan Royalty and Richard Yen choose their desserts. Autumn Bar-b-que. A few times a year Epicure sponsors special theme meals — Barry Carswell, Joe Helwig and Steve Cum- bee enjoy their meal in the beautiful autumn weather. Fortunately, as most students may have been accustomed to at home, this art of consumption did not require formal dtess — even the most casual attire was completely acceptable. Yet somehow things were different than the homelife kitchen. For at the cafeteria, it was necessary to wait in line! (No more grabbing at edibles in cabinets, pan- tries and refrigerators.) However, students were nonetheless offered the opportunity to serve themselves during the outdoor cookouts, at the salad bar, and the drinking foun- tains. After the task of obtaining food was achieved, eating became a social event as students flocked to- gether with friends and acquaint- ances to display their good manners learned at home — remembering never to speak with a mouth full of food! After all, whatever would the 200 other consumers think of a co-student who had not yet mas- tered the basics of the art of eating. ' Although such basics may be ac- quired elsewhere, college not only taught students the academic disci- plines, it training those restricted to campus-consumption to discipline the stomache to become hungry only during mealtimes; 7:15-9:15 am, 11:15-1 pm and 5-6:30 pm daily. And thus we have the art of eating: good manners, patiently waiting on lines, and time restrictions!
