 i i Dining desires Food. For the average college stu- dent, the word is connected to the thought of nourishment and a chance to spend time with friends. The menu selection and conve- nience compelled most students living on campus to eat at the ARA Dining Service in the Nebraskan. The facility served nearly 2,000 students with meal cards, said Dick Williams, director of dining services. Another heavily used dining faciltiy on campus was the Memorial Student Union Snack Bar, frequented by many students who lived on and off campus. With a good variety of fast-foods of- fered, students in a hurry ordered and received food quickly, and either uti- lized some of the vast seating area or proceeded on their daily routines with food in hand. The Stutheit Lounge, also in the union, attracted students as well as faculty members. However, campus dining was not re- stricted to these facilities. Kitchens equip most residence halls, and in stu- dent’s rooms hot pots and popcorn poppers were often subjected to heavy use. Also vending machines found around campus were often capable of quenching any snacking binges with which many students found them- selves to be afflicted from time to time. Leaving campus for a meal with friends was a particularly enticing no- tion. Although the restaurant options were certainly not limited in Kearney, establishments of the fast-food variety located close to campus catered to students. Favorites in collegiate cuisine, in- cluding hamburgers and french fries, pizza and other Italian foods, Mexican dishes, hot dogs, seafood and subma- rine sandwiches were found with ease. Many students saved their visits to area steak houses for special occa- sions. Students who lived off campus tast- ed the experience of preparing meals on their own. They, too, considered restaurants to be nice options. — Marsha Vickland Linda Gross relaxes and chats with a friend in the Memorial Union before starting her meal.
