Food Court offers
tasty alternative
y.'*£■■■ ' ■

Can it be? In our student center?
Yes, it's really a Taco Bell and a
Chick-Fil-A! ?
As of Monday the food court in
the new Student Development Cen-
ter opened. With few problems, the
dining services have been a hit with
the students and faculty. "The food
court has made three times as much
money as it did at the old location in
a.comprable time period," said Lisa
1 Peregrino, area manager of the din-
ing services.
The only problem encountered
was the ti me factor. The property was
accepted last Wednesday and opened
on Monday. Food seyice employees
discussed which area to open first
and decided not to open each of the
areas individually.
"We wanted them all open with
the right impact," said Peregrino.
From the smiles and the business, it
looks as if it definitely had the right
impact, she said.
"Of course, Taco Bell and Chick-
.Fjl-A are the most popular," said
Peregrino. "Since this is the only
Chick-Fil-A in town, it's doing a lot
of business." The other spots have
picked up also. Students seem thrilled
to have the variety available to them.
With a few changes and addi-
tions, tyza Pizza, the Grille and the
Deli are attracting more business than
ever. Among the changes is a smaller,
solo pizza. It is available to students
on their meal plan after 6:30 p.m. The
larger pizzas are still available to
order, however.
To facilitate better service, meals
from the Grille are offered in baskets.
Trays also are available.
The Deli has expanded its menu.
Students can select from ten sand-
wich choices ranging from chicken
salad to pastrami. Students can watch
a fresh sandwich being made just the ■
way they like it.
In addition to a widijr variety,
students will notice a range of prices.
Taco Bell's bean burrito is the least
expensive item at 59 cents and the
deli's large sub at $4.99 is the most
expensive. But cash isn't the only
acceptable form ofpayment. Students
can use their point plan and deduct
the amount from their total. The food
court also takes checks.
Student Chris Gordon said, "I
wish Taco Bell hadchilitos and more
variety on their menu, but I like being
able to use my I.D. card."
"The meal plan and the point
plan are working really well here,"
Peregrino said. After 6:30 p.m. and
on weekends, if students want to eat
in the snack bar, they now have five
options to choose from. Itza Pizza
serves a small pepperoni pizza and a
small drink. The Grille serves a
cheeseburger, small fry and a small
drink. The Deli serves a sandwich,
chips and a small drink. Chick-Fjl-A
serves eight-piece nuggets and a smaM
drink. Taco Bell serves a taco;su-,
preme, bean burrito and a small drink.
'There isn't enough food offered
for the evening mealson the meal
plan," commented Traci Evants, stu-
dent,"but this is a much better selec-
: tion than they've offered in the past,
however."
The food court is open from 7
a.m. to midnight. Breakfast is served
from 7 to 10 a.m. Chick-Fil-A is open
from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Taco Bell
is open from 10 a.m. to midnight. The
ARA deli "and grill is open from 10
a.m. to 10 p.m.
Students must bring their I.D.
cards with them if they choose to use
their point plan or meal plan because
they cannot punch in the number
Peregrino said.
If anyone has any questions or
, comments about the dining services,
contact Peregrino at 968-9442.

Salary survey shows increase
BETHLEHEM, Pa (CPS) New
college graduates had more job op-
portunities than last year, but their
starting salaries rose only slightly, a
College Placement Council survey has
found.
The hiring of new college gradu-
ates was up from or even to last year's
hiring, according to the September
1994 issue of the "CPC Salary Sur-
vey."
While an improving economy
was credited for the increase in hiring,
low inflation rates continue to keep
most increases in starting salaries at a
minimum, said Dawn Oberman, di-
rector of employment for CPC.
So what majors fared the best?
Job candidates in most busi-
ness disciplines posted respectable
gains in tlieir starting salary offers.
Accounting graduates earned a
3.2 percent increase and now aver-
ages $28,372, while business admin-,
istration graduates saw their average
offer rise 2.2 percent to $25,102,
. * Engineering graduatescontinue
to face stiff competition for jobs in the
manufacturing sector, which translate
into starting salaries that remained at
last year's levels.Civil engineers re-
ceived 2 percent higher salary offers,
averaging $29,809, and industrial en-
LUiiiiiiiiiiiiniiHiiniiuiiiiiMsiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiHiKiimiiu.
gineers' average offer rose 1 percent
for an average of $33,267. Mechani-
cal engineering graduates saw offers
rise 1.7 percent to $35,051.
♦Computer science graduates
ended the year with a 1.4 percent
increase in their starting salary offers
for ai) average of $31,783.
*For hurnaiiities and social sci-
ence graduates, most salary increases
were slight. For example, starting
salary offers increased less than 1
percent for foreign language gradu-
ates and English graduates, and were
down by less than I percent for politi-
cal science graduates and psychology
graduates.
♦Starting salaries for graduates
in most healthcare fields rose signifi-
cantly. The exception was for nursing
graduates, who saw their average start-
ing salary offer fall for the second
consecutive year. Starting salary of-
fers to nursing graduates dropped 7.9
percent this yeasr for an average of
$28,594.
*At the master's degree level,
MBA graduates enjoyed higher shirt-
ing salaries. MBA graduates with
nontechnical undergraduate degrees
and no previous work experience re-
ceived 6,2 percent higher starting sal-
ary offers for an average of $38,792.
The largest increase was garnered

ates.
TheDepartmentofEnglish an-
nounces test changes for people
taking the ExCET Secondary En-
glish Test (field 16) beginning No-
vember 1994, The English test will
have a written assignment in addi-
tion to multiple-choice items. The
written assignment will consist of a
literary passage (poem, excerpt
from fiction or nonfiction) and a
question based on that passage.
Persons will be asked to analyze
certain elements of the passage and
to describe and explain instructional
strategies that could be used in a
public classroom.
Test changes have been made
with the advice of a committee of
English educators in both universi-
ties and public schools.
Each new assignment has been
tested and the results ahalysised.
The committee's recommendation
was forwarded to the State Boar^ of
Educalion which adopted the pass-
ing standards.
An expanded Secondary En-
glish Preparation Manual is avail-
able with sample assignments. A'
scoring scale and samples of re-
sponses to questions are also in-
cluded within the manuial. *
Individual copies are available
right now and bulk shipments will
be sent to institutions in mid-Octo-
ber. Examinees who register for
the November test need to check
with the teacher certification office
to receive their copy.
