Got those cafeteria blues Walking into the cafeteria, we see hundreds of people sitting in their own social groups talking and eating. After quickly glancing around, we advance toward the meal line and anxiously wait to see what the menu contains. Some- times we're lucky. The cafeteria serves oven-fried chicken, instant mashed potatoes and left-over cherry gelatin on a good day. But most of the time we must suffer through cold meatloaf, hard peas or another hamburger. Even though many students complain about the food, the attitudes of student serv- ers and cooks remains pleasant and Denise fan rad cooperative. Along with these unchanging at- titudes comes the appetites that just can't be curbed. Even though the cafeteria food does not compare to Mom's cooking, some students replenish their plates two and three times a meal. After finding a seat, scoping begins. This is the social event of the day, Cafeterias are appreciated during times like these when we are able to be in the same room and eat the same meals as so many oth- er different people.

tf Rick E. Runiun 00' 22151 ,xi Rhonda Ha rrisnn Dorms provide in terestin g programs Parties and mixers are the way most dorms start off the school year. And whether it's dorm gov- ernment, a Resident Assistant or a floor section planning an activity, Ohio University students on each green are sure to receive a variety of programs. Some of the more popu- lar programs planned yearly in- clude coffeehouses, wine and cheese parties, body auctions and backgammon tournaments. ln October, Wilson Hall resi- dents work together in sponsoring the ghouliest haunted house on the West. Other activities feature bobbing for apples, costume con- tests and walking through a be- witching wonderland of horror. In May, East Creen's Gamerts- felder and Tiffin Halls host the an- nual Cam-Tiffin bash which in- cludes a day of beer, food, bands and an evening of blanket flicks. Breaking the tradition of Hal- loween uptown, the South Green Council, with assistance from the Center Program Board, hosts its own Court Street party. Chris Hur- ley, council advisor, said students paint flats representing uptown buildings. Beer stands and vendors set up shop by the mock College Cate. Bands are featured and a fire- works display caps off the chilly October celebration. Every spring each green puts on its Creen Weekend. Tug-a-wars, greased pole-climbing and sun-tan contests are just a taste of what goes on during these weekends. Each green hosts local hands and features food and late night movies. Li-.1 lnpcz

A scream is heard on the Green and a guy wearing a blue jacket, carring a walkie-talkie rushes over to see what's wrong. lt's nothing, only some students having a good time, he reports into his voice box. He continues on his rounds unsha- ken. This is Friday night and he's a Security Aide. Security Aides are a branch of Residence Life and assist resident assistants and O.U.
