—J I—, Residence Halls Midway Approximately 160 students live in the new addition to campus this year. Midway Apartments. Ten resident assistants are each in charge of a quad (a set of apartments). Because of the location of the Mid-way Craig Court Apartments (near Shopko) it would be easy for the residents to feel left out of campus activities. However, efforts by the RA's and residents include the residents in campus activities. The apartments have had Homecoming candidates. Parent's Weekend, quad pictures and have a hall council. The apartments were established as UWEC supervised housing to fulfill a need for the increased number of students who wish to live in dorms. The students have overcome the physical barrier of apartment sectioning through the addition of the apartment's two study lounges, a central area for studying, hall council meetings and planned all-apartment activities.

The building has two-person rooms, a formal dining room, a stereo lounge, kitchen facilities, study rooms, sewing facilities, TV k unges and a 22 hour a day desk operation for the service of the residents. Oak Ridge brings forth its own personality as it affords its residents the opportunity to participate in such functions as hall government. Parent's Weekend, cultural events, ski trips, intramural sports, costume parties, poetry publications and float competition at Homecoming. The staff and the hall council work with the residents in creating an atmosphere encouraging the interaction of students through the dorm's programs. These programs are designed to promote the understanding of the need to balance both individual and group rights, as well as responsibilities within the group living situation, fe Top right: A piano duct by Colleen Costello, soloist.

r SAGA: New food service It's not mom's but sometimes it 28 food wrvkf This school year, the university food service contracted with SAGA, a food service firm from Menlo Park, California. SAGA provides for all on-campus food preparation. Coinciding with SAGA's arrival, the new computer identification card system was installed. The two have appeared to bring orderliness that many students and kitchen personnel felt was missing in recent years. The school's third food service in as many years, SAGA succeeds Professional Food Service (PFM) and ARA. Both had problems with small staffs, lack of communication, contractual disputes, and alleged skimpy course offerings. Looking for a more organized outfit, the State Purchasing Committee awarded SAGA the contract over PFM, however. SAGA had to agree to several university requirements such as unlimited seconds and an increase in main course offerings. With the issue of dinner identification cards last fall, the problems the dining rooms had formerly with students doubling on one meal card or going to different dining buildings in the same meal period were eliminated. The easy punching method saves time and, according to facility managers, will save SI 50.000 annually. Another significant change was a university decision allowing the managers all the needed payroll working hours to start the year successfully. This allowed student workers the training necessary from full-time union workers to result in a stable schedule of capable workers. Although the menu is nearly uniform campuswide, the managers of the different dining rooms add their own preferences.
