YOU FORGOT YOUR I.D.?? No, John Skotez has his and gains entrance to the dining hall through the regular “check-in” procedure. “HEY BUDDY”, Wes Schaefer and Mark Hair are having a friendly discussion in front of Ruth Powell Dining Hall as Rich Grant rushes off to class. PILE IT ON. Rob Crawford helps himself to the salad bar in the Maryland Room. Check It Out It’s the biggest social scene on campus. “That’s where I used to pick up all my girls,” claimed senior George Rakis. Even the walls out in front of the Ruth Powell Dining Hall are clustered by groups of females and males casually checking each other out. Inside those walls the latest gossip of the day floats through the air. If you want to find out what’s going on—the dining hall is the place. In addition to flirting, most people do participate in the actual purpose of the dining hall, eating. “There has been a definite improvement since 1984,” complimented senior Drew Biasotto. Most diners felt that the service offered was outstanding. Senior Tim Haley summed it up, “The dining hall is wonderful and couldn’t be better.” A few complaints were fairly consistent though. For example, Kevin Goode felt that the dining hall was “inefficient with large crowds.” Another common complaint was brought up by his brother, Keith Goode, who thought that the dining hall was “inconsistent— good one night and bad the next.” Overall, the dining hall was trying to please the customer. For instance, the Ruth Powell Student Employee Organization (RPSEO) organized Las Vegas Night. Also, the dining hall committee was established. Students actively participated in decisions made by the dining hall administration in conjuction with Carmen DiSylvestro and Michael Ruane. Comment cards were also available. These did work. For instance Leslie Antkowiak placed a card in the comment box. On this card, she requested that the clock in the Maryland Room should be fixed. Within a day, the clock was fixed. As DiSlyvestro emphasized, “The students don’t realize the power they have.” They seemed to have the power of attraction too. Some like Brian Hinley just enjoyed watching others. But some carried it further and actually met people in the dining hall. Kat Prucnal reminisced, “I’ve met two of my biggest college affairs in the dining hall.” Regardless, the social atmosphere was there. 18 Dining Hall
