Food for
PFM receives smorgasbord of student
By JAY FRIDDELL
Optimist Staff
Comments by students about
Professional Food Management's han-
dling of the Bean range from completely
positive to expressing reservations about
the line system.
Steve Sorrells. sophomore business
major from Waco said he believes that the
food quality is about the same as before
the new service took over. However he
thought the "scramblesystem" used in the
cafeteria before the switch was a better
way of serving the food.
Steve Dillon sophomore business major
from Friendswood said the lines could be
faster if the food was waiting on plates

thought
instead of students having to ask for an
item He also said the menu contains too
many sandw ich items.
Larry Devoto director of dining at ACU
for PFM. said at first food was not
predished to keep the food hot. After the
lines began to lengthen he said that the
staff was told to predish one plate of each
item to move the lines faster.
Sorrells and Dillon said they like the way
the salad items have been expanded and
decorated to be more appetizing.
Debbie Eads. sophomore accounting
major from Houston said the lines are loo
long and the serving system seems
unorganized. She said that she too
prefers the "scramblesystem."
Mark Carver sophomore radio-
television from Nashville Tenn said that
he prefers the new line system because the
cafeteria workers have more control He
said he thinks the food quality is improved
Two new policies have been put in effect
to keep the lines from being too long New-
silverware plates and larger 12-ounce
plastic glasses have been ordered to in-
crease the inventory and to speed the lines
Devoto said. Also the West side of the
dining room will be open and serving for a
longer time during lunch and supper.
Devoto said he is pleased with the
positive way the cafeteria staff has ad-
justed to the mid-semester change. The
biggest difference in the old food service
comments
and the PFM sstem he said is the ex-
panded menu and the production needed to
fill the expanded menu
Several cafeteria workers said they are
trying to do their best to make the new-
system a success but the transition has
changed their job requirements requiring
some time for adjustment.
However. Devoto said the staff has been
excellent and he hopes the system will be
in full swing in the fall after having more
adjustment time in the summer.
An outdoor all-campus barbecue is
planned in conjunction with the outdoor
hand concert April 29 said Devoto. Meal
tickets are valid and all guests are
welcome he said.
