This is verified by the assortment of people who, after navigating one of Saga's meals, feel essentially the same way most people feel after an ocean voyage-sick. This uneasiness is due in part to some of the more tempting dishes that the kitchens produce. Such as Shepherd's Pie and the infamous El Ranchero. All per- fectly wretched and all brought to you by those wonder- ful people at Saga Food. But while some of the student body complains about the food, an equal amount seem to be satisfied with what they are putting into their stomachs. Advocates of this philosophy point to the steaks and deserts that are presented for our edibility. The steaks are usually more than devourable and about the only legitimate gripe is that seconds can't be had. The desserts receive acclaim from all corners. The cakes are, quite honestly, beyond reproach, the pud- dings delectible and the fruit cups are out of this world. But, pro or con, the Rider student frequently acquires a desire for something not on the Saga menu. Or their stomachs happen to rise up in rebellion at the most in- opportune times, midnight when Saga and the Center have long been at rest. It is during these dire times that the Rider student searches elsewhere for edification of his taste buds. As a service to the College community, The 1971 Shadow therefore presents its exclusive rat- ings ofthe eateries in the Trenton metropolitan area.

Placement Bureau Reports Job Scarcity And a dead-end job is what some students will sadly have to settle for because they've only done a minimum of planning. And there'll be others who will not get any job at all because they did absolutely no planning. As Mrs. Ftosi says, I have yet to see one Rider gradu- ate who knows what he wants to do who can't get a job. lt's never too early to be sure of what you want to do. Ftider's Placement Bureau is a good place to start. lt of- fers each interested student a Career Planning Library, help with resumes and letters, career counseling, part- time and summer job placement, and numerous other services. The future of our nation, and even the world, lies in the hands of the graduates. Will you be the grad that grows or the grad that stagnates? The answer ob- viously is up to the individual student to decide. fi 125

Usually, the first place the Rider students look is to the big Neon signs by the side of the road. Enter the Diners of the Trenton area. First on our list of box-car eateries is the Nassau Diner sitting majestically beside the Lawrence Drive-In on Route 1. Rider students can generally be found haunting the red booths at any hour of the night, the later the bet- ter. Finals are usually the big time at the Nassau, not be- cause of great food, but because most kids are looking for an excuse not to study. The food is not too bad but the prices seem to be a bit high. Some of the delicacies on the menu include a pizza burger, pancakes with ice cream and the fruit-topped cheese cake. Moving farther on down Route 1 toward the state capi- tal we have the Trent Diner. The Trench Diner might be a more appropriate name. The food is not served in the most tempting manner or by the nicest looking people. The prices are lower than the Nassau but it winds up costing you more after three visits to the doctor. The clientele is not the best either, coming from the back al- leys and dungeons of the area. Away from the area, we move up to Princeton and the Princetonian Diner. This is without a doubt the best of the three and the cheapest. Rider students get excellent service and a 10 per cent discount to boot. The food is the best in the area and therefore gets this year's Late Night Place To Be award. Closely behind in the ratings, however, is The Colonial. Here it is recommended that you try any of the special sandwichesg though high in price, they're well worth it. Perhaps the only complaint to register is that they hardly if ever, have strawberry ice cream Cfor the mixing of strawberry thick shakesj. 127
