We Goln And Out ofBeanery
Not Knowing What It Means
BY MURIEL COX
The average student on our cam-
pus three times daily rushes in and
out of the dining hall to cat. They
never give a second or maybe even
a first thought as to the preparation
and work that is required to make
the management of the dining hall
run smoothly. Do you know any-
thing about our dining hall except
the time that food is served? Do you
know how much you are paying for
your food? Do you know any of the
students who help serve clean and
cook for you?
Very few students could answer
many detailed questions about the
dining hall. It is not uncommon to
hear students complain about the
dining hall. They are the ones who
know little or nothing about what
they are saying.
Have you realized that you arc be-
ing served three meals a day for
les than one dollar? Only $25.00 for
a 28 day period goes to the dining
hall for your board. Out of that
money comes all the expenses such
as utilities food and payment to
workers.
Only the financial question would
be enough to set back the progress
of the dining hall but that isn't the
end of the story. Foods are hard to
buy now. Every wholesale or retail
grocer will merely smile and say at
your asking for a scarce food prod-
uct "Sorry maybe next week we
will have it." Next week sometimes
never comes. When the products are
obtainabre their prices are extre-
mely high.
Most of you know Mrs. Beck the
dining hall manager and know that
she is trying her best to keep the
dining hall a pleasant place in which
to cat. We all appreciate her efforts.
Can you imagine how your mother
would feel if you came home every
day fussing about the food and call

ing the kitchen a "mess"? We would
imagine that Mrs. Beck feels the
same when we come in with our
tempers all up over not having choc-
olate pic.
We should all try to understand
the situation and not complain. The
ones of us who arc doing the best
job at this are the students who are
working in the cafeteria. These 39
students arc to be complimented on
their work. Mrs. Beck reports that
they are a cheerful and diligent
working force. Their jobs vary from
dishery movers steam table work-
ers dish washers salad window
girls pot and pan washers cleaning
crew storeroom boys and laundry
force to hashers.
