improved this year," Baker junior
Paul Cornett.
Not everyone believes that pre-
paring food in the colleges will'have
a huge impact on its quality Baker
College sophomore Gabe Garcia
said, "The food here is generic, and
it doesn't really matter where you
make it."
For now, Baker is the only col-
lege in which the new policy has
been implemen ted.
* "We'll have a checkpoint, after
about 90 days, to see how
everything's going. If the results are
good, we'll extend it to the other
colleges as quickly as we can."
Ditman said.
Ditman said that there are no
expected additional costs for the
program. In fact, as it progresses,
on-site preparation of food may help
decrease leftovers and frequent
shortages of menu items. Also, the
higher quality of the food produced
may encourage students to buy
more.
CK plans other changes for this
year. F&H hired Bienvenido
Fonbueno as the new head chef.
"He has had a huge impact on the
food in CK." Ditman said.
Known as "ChefBen," Fonbueno
is a certified cnef and headed food
service for Desert Storm troops.
Many students feel the food has
improved compared to past years.
