The Campus Center, Carmichael, Dewick, Hodgdon, MacPhie and Pound ... all choice dining! Daily dining at Tufts is full of choices. From deli sandwiches at Carmi¬ chael to make you own pizza at Hodgdon to “tunafish at every meal” (a la Jean Mayer), there is something around campus to please almost everyone. As freshmen, the chosen dining hall depended on the location of the 10:30 class or one’s dorm room. As sophomore year rolled around, we braved our way across the campus to suit our palates. Pizza, burgers, fries and ice cream were available on a daily basis at Hodgdon. The place for scoping and socializing was unanimously Carmichael, and MacPhie was definitely the place to do serious eating, and simultaneous¬ ly enjoying the music at the Pub. When we heared about Pound from upper-classmen, more than one of us tried to sneak our way in. Howev¬ er the carding policy there was even stricter than many of the local bars. Dinner was another story alto¬ gether. Dining choice was usually based on weather conditions. Rain, snow and sleet tended to keep uphill people up and downhill people down. But the (now extinct) option of Candlelight kept us happy even when tofu lasagne didn’t bring us running to the dining halls. The coming junior year brought about new rites of passage: lunch at Pound. Din ing with Fletcher stu¬ dents in a small room was not as great an attraction as was the real ice cream that you could scoop for yourself. Pound’s attraction lagged slightly when attended too often — the line often inched forward and seats were all but impossible to find at the 12:30 crunch. In the second half of junior year, a new dining ex¬ perience appeared to replace the sorely missed Curtis Hall, it was the Campus Center. At last there was a place to dine with friends or profes¬ sors who did not subscribe to the mealplan. And the do-it-yourself salad bar was not forgone! Now it seems that new options for eating are cropping up every day. Instead of waiting for the bi-annual Pancake Festivals, we can indulge in Waffleworks nightly. It presents us with a last chance to put on those “freshmen 15’’ (which we all learned can strike at any time, re¬ gardless of one’s class standing). On-campus dining means a lot more than the food (which we all enjoyed complaining about). Meet¬ ing people for lunch constituted ma¬ jor social events. Dining halls were a place to see and be seen, to talk with that friend you never seemed to run into anymore, to try new concoc¬ tions and eat creatively at the salad bar. The staff made a difference as well. What would MacPhie be with¬ out Ellie, or Carmichael without Lil? They were our surrogate moth¬ ers, clucking if we hadn’t been eat¬ ing properly. Dining services kept our plates and bellies full — and many of us employed. The experi¬ ences and conveniences of on-cam- pus dining are not things we are likely to encounter again. by Donna Elgart Dining On Campus 26 St udent Life
