HOW HUNGR Y ARE YOU? DIAGNOSIS; FRESHMAN SAGA BUTT!! A REBUTTAL TO THE ALLEGED LACK OF APPETITE FOR MAR- RIOTT ' S ATTEMPT AT THE CU- LINARY ARTS. By Arthur Ponce Food seems to play a major role in our everyday lives as young adults. I have often heard many an individual share their opinions of their most favor- ite primary needs. Not to my suprise eating was found in the top three along with sleep and sex (not necessarily in that order). At St. Mary ' s, SAGA plays an im- portant part in the satisfaction of our primary need to eat. For a small fortune one can eat breakfast, lunch and dinner daily, with brunch and dinner on the weekends. I would suppose the reason for only brunch on the weekends is be- cause not many S.M.C. students are in any shape to make the weekends early breakfast. With such an important need as ingestion of nutritive substances, coupled with the personal tastes of ap- proximately 2,000 students. Marriotts has found itself with quite a responsibil- ity. Not only must they provide nutri- tional diet for 2,000 individuals, they must also run a profitable business. After all this is the United States. SAGA is not mom ' s kitchen and does not pretend to be. Perhaps for this sea- son SAGA has taken so much abuse over the years. Granted the food is of- ten bland, cold, and can offer a wide range of colors other than its natural tint. Yet our quest of self actualization requires that our appetites be satisfied, and satisfied they are. I can recall many instances when standing in line with my wet tray, several people in front of me asked, can I have both the lasagna and the turkey cutlets, becoming irate when told policy only allows that one entree be served per visit to the buffet lines. I am sure we all know or at least have heard of individuals in Rambo at- tire armed with empty backpacks out for 12a.m. SAGA grocery runs. I ask you are these the actions of one who is not willing to dine at SAGA? The anatomy majors on the rugby team seem to share my view, or at least have noticed that people do not lye in bed starved because of Marriotts at- tempt at the culinary arts, and have expressed publically at open mic in their rap and roll song you get a big butt, big butt . This hit song which touched the heart of many students, was inspired by the rash of blue jean sales brought on by the common dis- ease, Freshman SAGA Butt . Al- though indiscriminate with regards to gender, we see that it is especially com- mon in females. Support of this notion could be found at approximately 10p.m. Mon-Thurs.(Fri., and Sat. are saved for dancing at the Pub) on the road that circles the campus. Here we see band after band of walkman laden women attempting to remove that which was acquired at SAGA. (Note: Those wear- ing spandex run at least six laps.) In my opinion the alleged lack of ap- petite for Marriotts attempt at the culi- nary art is a bit far fetched, but don ' t be surprised if yesterday ' s vegetables are in today ' s quiche.

WHATS HAPPENIN ' AT THE PUB? THE MISSION ROAD INN By Tonia Galdos January 1987 was the month for ring- ing in the New Year at the Mission Road Inn. The constant clink of Corona bottles signaled that ever onward St. Mary ' s own Pizza Pub will be a real contender in the collegiate competition for a crazy good time. Those people who compile, compose, and collect those statistics, each and every year for the Playboy hot spot, college campus party poll may under-estimate the par- lying power of St. Mary ' s pub, but take heart. Although we ' re small we ' ve got it all. What have we got? Dinner with the Browns , a band well worth the fifteen minute wait to dance to. Thanks to KSMC, the Mission Road Inn may nev- er have to suffer another quiet Thurs- day night again, as live band after live band, Grover , London Down , and Never Say Never , rock the Happy Hour crowd. And when live bands are scarce, when there ' s no one there to rock the place, our own KSMC D.J. sets the pace. The Pub ' s the place after a basket- ball game. It ' s the place for New Rec- ipe Pizza, for Imported Beer Night, Spud Macenzie, Open Mike, and Hap- py Hour every Thursday and Friday night. And if, after all this, anyone ' s wondering where their SMC party should begin, the answer, or course, is the Mission Road Inn, better known as THE PUB! A - t (I lis. I up.inciL) 18
