Take two to three dozen recruiters from various com­ panies and service organizations, reserve them suites at a posh hotel in a centrally - located American city, arrange for ap­ propriate job seekers to meet with them for interviews for two days, at no cost to the applicants. Fteult: career weekend a la-

' Much has been said about these weekends by Thunderbirds who have participated in them. Much of it is discouraging.

"The place was full of in­ surance companies ... There was no company I was really in­ terested in ... All they want are salesmen ... My steak was too tough."

lilt let us put aside the com- plamls for a minute and consider what goes into * a Lendman Associates weekend. The com­ pany conducts over a hundred "Career Conferences" each year bringing thousands of recruiters and applicants together. Each Lendman staff member reviews hundreds of resumes each week and speaks to 50 company recruiters a week on the telephone as well as averaging SO face-to-face conversations a month with recruiters at the Career Conferences. According to the company's PR handout, "...because of the extensive exposure to recruiters, we know what companies want, and we update this information daily."

A typical weekend begins with registration for those who have not pre-registered by mail by sending in a resume to the main office. This is done Friday af­ ternoon, usually at about 4 p.m.

.At 6:30 p.m..prior to the actual kjctoff at the Career Weekend itself, a member of the Lendman staff delivers a thirty-minute presentation covering the following topics: Using the Career Weekend to develop a proper job objective establishing a job search goal the importance of obtaining more than one job offer (be distinct steps involved in obtaining a firm offer of employment guidelines for a successful interview follow-up qualifications sought for specific positions presently available.

A flood of questions from ap­ plicants usually follows, and company recruiters are brought forward to answer them during a one-hour panel .discussion. Representatives from graduate schools have recently been at­ tending the conferences to an­ swer one frequently asked query

"Would it be wise to delay entering the job market in order to attend graduate school?"

Harvard has selected Lendman Weekends as an official recruiting source and has alreadv attended several

to the" list of this of

The main went begins at 8 p.m., Friday evening. As many as 33 companies are at the table in the hotel's ballroom Tho are introduced and tneflv to the applicants their company's operation the positions they have available

Almost every company representative his pres­ entation with an invitation for applicants to stop by his sign-up table during the interview scheduling session. An average of 3D take the companies up on this imitation at each conference.

Interviews are scheduled from 9p.m. to II p.m. and companies' annual reports and other "ublish^d nistenEl nre avuifsW** for briefing purposes. Applicants should have ten or so resumes to hand out during the scheduling. Saturday is devoted to in­ terviewing in the individual hotel suites.

A dozen or so T-Birds attended the last Career Weekend held in San Diego April 18-19. Students had mixed feelings about the usefulness of the program, about half not bothering to set up in­ terviews. " -

The rest expressed positive feedback. At least one student was offered mnneroas fly-backs, and the rest encouraging possibilities for employment. All in all. it was felt the opportunity to hear what companies were looking for, the chance at in­ terviewing without having to wait for one's name to appear on a list competing with other T-Birds for the attention of the recruiters - and the general relaxed, informal nature of the application and interviewing procedure were pluses.

For students wifh relatively little interviewing experience, there is much benefit from the exposure. Knowing what to ex­ pect seems to be half the battle.

Another favorable point is that all the companies are there for the purpose of recruiting new employees they are looking for people who are looking for jobs, and applicants are told just what it is the companies are looking for. This practice clears the air of the kind of doubts and. or misconceptions that seem to hover over the Placement Office on scheduled interview days.

As for future dates of Career Weekends, when asked for definite scheduling information, a Lendman staff member said, "We prefer not to have our weekends publicized. We do not want to be swamped by college graduates, and prefer to screen our applicants, limiting their number. Weekends will be held in San Francisco, Los Angeles and again in San Diego within the next few months, with one planned every weekend in Chicago."

editorialsT-Bird has traditionally served

as the hunting ground for cor­ porations large and small. When they needed flexible personnel to help establish their international beach-head T-Birds served as the advance troops.

Union Carbide stormed campus in the mid-sixties searching for people to help launch its international ex­ pansion. In the five years from '63 to "67 the large chemical and consumer products firm hired 28 T-Birds. The new recruits were sent all over the world to establish U.C.'s multinational network of manufacturing, warehousing and distributing outposts

This process has been repeated by many corporations and by whole industries Continental Grain is the most recent cor­ poration and banking far and awa> has been the industry epitomizing this scenario

This incident is not isolated It has been repeated many times H.I Reynolds from '67-'69 hired many T-Birds to effect overseas expansion as did Fast man Kodak all through the sixties Butneither has hired a T-Bird since •—.)

International Perspectiveby L'ku HeinJa

fine of the proclaimed goals of AGSIM is to prepare graduates for an international career. In addition to the academic courses with an international emphasis it is noped that students from different backgrounds are willing to share their experiences with other students. Such a sharing of information, ideas, and cultures is only possible in an atmosphere o! willingness to learn and tolerance of ideas different from our own.

At present it appears that too many AGSIM students are either indifferent to, or intolerant of die cultural diversity which exists on our campus. All too often the opportunity for expanding oarunderstanding of other cultures is limited to the few1 international events sponsored by the school. Even these international events lose their meaning when in­

dividuals who are caught up in their dogmas and self aggran­ dizements act in ways to restrict the free flow of ideas There is obviously much more to be learned .ihnut other fji'.'jrcs than their eating habits

It is a pitiful under-utilization nf human resources when the contributions which foreign students are capable of making remain uncultivated. The student taught language classes which began this semester are a move in the right direction.

Structurally the school might he able to promote better cultural .Twareness by creating living areas which represent different areas of the world.

,*n)*e important pDfflt of d&f&l exchange is that except for material gains, most wars have been fought because of ideas. It should be the hope of a civilized society that through com­

munication in an intellectual, academic way. the miscon- ccptions and prejudices which <ait«e war and human suffering, ran iit- eliminated

TV n-icvence ot cultural communications for future in­ ternational businesspersons can not he over-estimated. A recent (iwlerence of business leaders in fhoenix revealed that many dullnesses were looking for people with better com­ municative skifls. We here at AGSIM have an even greater responsibility for developing our communicative skills since we will be expected to function in cultures different from our own.

To paraphrase Mr. Ghaodi in a statement he made a few decades aso. "! will open my doors and windows to the winds of change anri ideas, but never will I allow1 these winds to carry away the house itself."

1 JttNlM ) the edWDear Editor:

Last week's "PJ.'s Corner" represents an abuse of the privilege of writing a weekly column in our student newspaper. The author, an Israeli, devotes his entire column to an attack on a Palestinian student on this campus.

Columns in Das Tor should be aimed at discussing issues and no) personalities. In fact the author himself wrote that AGSIM believes the International Fair, "should be dedicated to un­ derstanding and friendship." Evidently he does not view his role as a columnist in the same lig*t.

The dispute between these two individuals is an old one. It has emerged in the Pub. in the Middle East and African Club meetings, and other places. Quite naturally .1 Palestinian and an Israeli have radically different views on the Middle East situation.

'A"hat is distressing is that "PJ "s Comer" can devote an entire column to making personal accusations about another studk-nt. The author was merely propagating many of the at- titudksof the Israeli government. This shouldn't be done through a weekly column where the op­ posing side is unrepresented.

If the author was truly con­ cerned over whether a hilestinian student should be allowed to march with a Palestinian flag in the Parade of Flags, he should have objected to the administration or the proper

International Fair Committee. The author accuses the

I'alestinian student of. "initiating the display of hatred against Israel." His column represents the converse.

Dear Editor:I find it sad and shocking that a

r» year old man with a PhD degree from the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn needs to luild himself by continually and publicly deriding one individual on our campus. Pincas Jawetz's latest outburst appeared in the April 2>th issue of Das Tor. His target was Riad Marei.

I should hope that the majority if re.-iders took Pincas' remarks wth a grain of salt. In the event hat ,i lew readers took the remarks seriously. I am writing this letter.

I uas askcH in February to chair a Middle East and Africa (lub com mittee designed to set up informational forums on political issues in the Middle East aw) Africa The goal of the lorunis was to promote better understanding on the campus.

The first forum was to deal v.sth "How Should a Palestinian State Be Established''" After nearly two months of non­ productive arguing among the participants. 1 cancelled the torum i ten da> s before the date it w:i> to be held' A* a neutral Hiniiatoi. I did not feel that the 'inrrsolvcri issues could be riMilved m lime

Throughout the two months of flickering. Pincas Jawetz in­ stigated the majority of arguments, frequently demanded .changes in the {drum format, and several times threatened to leave for did leave i organizational meetings if he disagreed with l>oints made by other par­ ticipants.

I have known Riad Marei as long as I have known Pincas Jawctz i since the start of this -ernes!er). It is my good fortune to be a member of the Arabic class taught on Thursday evenings by Riad. I knew little of Arabic culture and nothing of the language before the classes started, but I feel that I have gained much as a result of Riad's dedication to promoting better understanding between Arabs and those of us who are non-Arab.

The class has never entered into a political discussion. Riad is not paid to teach the class: in lad. he spends his own money to irint up dialogue sheets for us.

Hiad's enthusiasm and love for Ins culture was also apparent at the International Festival where he was the organizer of two tooths, one selling and displaying lion's Irom Arabic countries and the other selling Arabic food.

T Birds is not maintaining, but pioneering.

It ts natural mat our usefulness to the Internationally well established t'raon Carbides and R.J. Reynolds should be diminished But the international nwement of business is i*rowing As it grows their are more and more companies in need of culturally sensitive in­ dividuals, with language skills, win will be able to communicate quickly and effectively in the host country and with the home office

These companies do not have finely honed communications, marketing and management networks overseas They need rrtiaWe people who are able to make decisions in the field without a lot of supporting documents They need people to establish a foothold overseas

That is why they recruit atU;SIM

The personnel needs of the majority of these companies is not great Few of them will need more than two or three people. The placement center probably

won't have literature on them either The Heil Corporation is a aood example Last semester Heil passed out pamphlets the day preceding their interviews. Before that few people outside of Milwaukee knew anything about them But they had a job to offer: long on opportunity, short on formal training.

He who sticks with placement renter info and places all his job hopes on th« big companies, may li* in for a disappointment. Look through the alumni files. The vast majority of companies represented have hired oily two or three T-Birds.

1 look for the big companies. including the banks to hire fewer students in the future.

liehalf of many students at AGSIM As a first term student. I feel at times like the freshman beginning college, but I must admit to my ignorance of the purpose behind the articles which have been recently printed in PJ.'s corner.

It doesn't take even a half-wit to know that there is a per­ sonality clash between Pincas Jawetz and Riad Marei. My question is what do these obvious differences in opinion have to do with me. a student who was born and raised in this world? What do these obvious differences in opinion have to do with anyone on this campus, except for Pincas. Hiad. and their friends, who obligingly listen to and sym­ pathize with the intolerable ac­ tions of the other.

I see no rhyme nor reason for the latest article in P.J.'s corner. It first of all speaks of U.S. law and school regulations with regard to political activities "'in general." Although the article is extremely vague at this point. I must assume that Riad Marei is lieing accused of pre-meditated treason against the US. and the school

It seems to me that the only treasonous act committed by Kiad at the International Festival «;c- that the shishkabob he was serving helped to add to my in- ligcstion. as did most of the Hit-rent foods at the festival. MS hang all the food vendors 'or treason!

There is however, a less .- musing facet to this article. Das Tor has allocated an entire section tor personal grievances .ig:nns! ime student at this school. This i.s iioth political and ob- imxioush personal on the part of l"im-as .l.-iwet/.

I have no personal animosity tor Pincas and no exceptional pro-Palestinian feelings for whatever it was that Riad was supposed to have plotted for the International Festival What I do have is an intrinsic nature that wtn't let me see the continual misuse of my school newspaper ... that is to say. for prejudice and petty bickering.

Besides, this article talks about Supreme Court decisions and law If the writer really knew .-ihout VS. law. he woukfat have even vaguely implied that Riad was doing something illegal iK-fore he had actually done it.

I'm not pointing this out to give Hiad grounds for retaliation, but to explain the need to future foreign editorialists that freedom nf the press is not to be used as a (xrsonal guillotine, especially when the writer is using his own brad for practice.

Expressions of personal opinion are fundamental to freedom. We can only keep that freedom if we do not abuse it I Mievethe writer of PJ.'scorner has a unique talent for expressing himself. Only I hope the writer will use that talent to benefit the student body as a whole and not assume the protectorate role to such an extreme degree. After all. U.S. law has a way of winning out despite its slow nature.

_______Mike Florence

Dear Mr. Jawetz.It is quite clear that you are

<Mermined to bring the Middle F«ist battleground to Glendale, .\riznna. You yourself advocate Irothcrhood Why not practice it. as Mr Mnrei? Perhaps you ought to re-evaluate your objectives for .-ittenrting this school.

Tony is nino years old. His IQ is above average though he is in a dass for slow learners and is given sedatives to quirt his hyporactivity. Tony never knew his father and has been looked after by his mother and sisters all his life, getting into and out of trouble with the law for most of ttwse nine years.

Mark Tatarsky is a third semester student at AGSIM. Several months ago. Mack temporarily "adopted" Tony as his little brother. They see each ottier at least once a week, sometimes more, and both Mack and Tony are glad they got to know each other.

The organization responsible for bringing them together is Valley Big Brothers, an affiliate of Big Brothers of America. VBB matches Big and Little Brothers through screening, evaluation, training and a personality test. Their objective is tr provide a male image for young boys, 8-17 years old. who are growing up in" homes without the presence of a father.

Says .Mack, "I found out about the program through a friend who had been a Big Brother last year in Ohio. So I looked them up here, talked to the coordinator and then took the tests which attempt to match my personality and interests with those of a boy in the files. It was really very easy and all that's required is that you have an interest."

Big Brothers can literally choose whom they want to be teamed with. A case history is provided with facts pertaining to school performance, medical background and family situation.

"I asked for someone without a really significant internal mental problem someone with energy and affection towards people to make it oasier «t first." The minimum time commitment is 6 months on a weekly basis.

Mack and Tony have gone ramping, swimming, flying in an airplane, to a hockey game and playing tennis. "I decide one

time, he decides the next," said Mack

In a recent interview, Barry Stair. Executive Director of VBB expressed the need for more Big Brothers.

"We worked with 674 boys last year but we stiD need men 1MO wars of age to help us." Big Brothers provides many free services for the matched teams thus reducing any personal finances for the Big Brother.

Any responsible and mature man. Barry said, "who believes that by sharing some of his time with one individual boy on a regular basis he may hdp that hoy learn how to grow to be a responsible man also, can be a Big Brother "

VBB rates the third lowest nationally in cost per boy mat­ ched Of the 250 agencies nationwide, the Phoenix agency is 22nd in size and budget.

The rewards' "A sense of accomplishment for myself and Tony. Finding ways to channel his excess energy and in­ telligence is a challenge. Besides, it's taught me about myself what set of %-alues I would want to instill in my own children some day. I'll be prepared for their questions and will know wiiat to answer."

"There are so many perfect candidates on this campus they're naturals for this kind of responsibility." said Mack.

Filling that extra time with something worthwhile isn't the ordeal it may seem in this town. Big Brothers may have something to offer you.

AGSIM Capers BfSferrieStAn-Mt

As AGSIM students, have you ever wondered how some of the school staff see you all? Don't be too worried, because as a matter of fact there are two employees here in rather strategic positions who think that most of you are pretty great! These two. who were nice enough to spend some fete telling me about themselves and their experiences at AGSIM. are Hazel "Smiley" Wiggins and Don "Caiman" Kohlhase.

"Smiley" Wiggins has worked for AGSIM food service for nine wars and is now Coffee Shop Supervisor. She is the nke lady with the BIG SMILE who greets you and seems to understand when you grab a quick cup of coffee before that ugly 8 a.m. class or when you buy french fries and a coke to console yourself after you think you did horribly on that WB 310 test.

She says that, besides being the largest student body, you are one of the best groups because most of you are polite and can take those jokes she dishes out. In fact, the reason she likes working here so much is because of the informality and the casual relationship among students, faculty, and staff.

The school was even more like a big family a few years ago when there were fewer students. Hazel remembers when the nursery kids used to come visit the food service staff just before holidays to sing Christmas carols or bring Easter eggs.

Even better was the time, a few years back, when somewhere around 40 Arabic students were on campus to learn English before going to other American colleges. The whole student body. staff, and facultv celebrated with

an Arabian Night. Then. everyone (staff and faculty in­ cluded > dressed up in ap­ propriate costumes.

Hazel, all (tress up. looked like Jeanie from TV's "I Dream of Jeanie," complete with a face veil. The funny part came when Hazel, along with several real Arabs, was rounded up to pose for a picture which later appeared in a Phoenix newspaper.

The newswwnan. whom Haze! knew, was struggling with the spelling of Arab names when she asked the veiled woman to identify herself. Yon can imagine the scene when the veiled one answered. "Hazel Wiggins"!

Don "Caiman" Kohlhase's affiliation with AGSIM goes hack about four years when he started working the night shift for security. He is now Security Supervisor and can be seen, mostly foot patrolling, days.

He likes his work because he 'feels most AGSIM students are here to learn (and not cause trouble*. In fact, serious in­ cidents are pretty few and far between.

There was the time, during a midnight patrol, when he spied a burning glow in a dorm window. Speeding to the rescue fire ex­ tinguisher in hand, he threw open the door ready to drag out a collapsed student and put out a raging fire, only to discover a huge metal bowl of incense burning in the center of the room. Phew!!! However, there was a slight problem it took Don several minutes to find the oc­ cupants of the room, who were off1 somewhere else.

Now. to the true-life story that earned "Catman" his name. At one time AGSIM had a cat

problem (you know like fte dog problem we now have). Stray cats started appearing, almost out of nowhere. when the food service baker came up with the idea of throwing scraps oat the backdoor.

At first, no one minded much, but as the numbeis grew, people got worried. You see, they weren't those nice, soft cuddly- types. They were those vicious snarling-types.

After getting their bellies foil, they would waddle over to play in the nursery sandbox. The nur­ sery supervisors would hustle the kids inside as they saw the cat array. 20-30 strong, advance on the play area.

Sound like a job for security and maintenance' It sure was!! In no time at all, maintenance constructed a cat<age Ckind of like a skunk trap where the animal goes into get the bait and the cage drops shut).

"Catman" gladly turned over 22 cats to the Humane Society in the course of the two-week long cat roundup. The bummer of this story was that the big dd Tom cat. who caused those cats to multiply, was never caught ... and held.

"Kg Dsudy" Torn cat was a night prowler. One dark, moonless night, he did grab at the bait and the door dropped. Would you believe that "Kg Daddy" chewed his way free 'through wire)?!!! What luck!

The cat-cage (repaired) is stowed safely away in the hangar, awaiting the next big roundup. Perhaps, for Don's valor in the big cat roundup. the school should get him a new badge, one that says "AGSIM", instead of "AIFT."

By Pant Krnwt(~PSi - Loaded with 680

barrels of industrial waste, the Finnish tanker Eo- skrin learned for the Brazilian coast recently, intent on its cargo into the South Atlantic Ocean.

But one nation's garbage dump is another's front yard and last week Brazil Argentina filed formal protests with Finland which forced the .Enkrin to return home, its deadly cargo still on board.

What Finland plans to do with the waste is another matter, of course, but the incident points out the increasing problem of ocean pollution. The traditional belief is that the vastness of the great oceans has insured their essential incorruptibility, but that is now being seriously questioned.

Researchers for the National Academy of Sciences repeatedly have found that they could not pinpoint what type of chemicals were being dumped into the sea. because that was regarded as classified information by many governments and especially industries.

In a survey last year of 700.000 square miles of waters, the Oceanic and Atmospheric Agency oil- waste tar clumps and in­ destructible plastic particles cluttering the deep en­ vironment from New to South America.

A recent article in the Wall are*! Journal that the oceans have become "the ultimate sewer" where all wastesnot pled, burned or burial on tad eventually find their way to the sea bed through dumping and river run-off.

The ultimate doomsdayprediction is that oceanic pollution may eventually kill the xwrco of most oxygen necessary to life. One swh foretelling came ftmi S»-n. Ernest P. Moiling <D- S(''. t"fi;finn;m of she Senate ubcornmittec on Oceans and Atnifisphi-re. who concluded "We .•ire killing the great oceans of this planet and. unless we stop this madness, mankind himself may perish from the face of this earth."

Time is growing short for veterans discharged since 1970 to take advantage of the new low- cut^ vVierans Group Life in­ surance <VGLI). Applications and first premium must be received before August 2. 1975.

Gordon Lyons, Director of the Veterans Administration's Phoenix Regional Office, issued the reminder, and it applies to all veterans who were discharged between April 3.1970 and August 1. 1974.

The new program offers up to $20.000 for a monthly premium ofTheQoDFATHE

only $3.40 for veterans under 35. and for those 35 and over, the maximum coverage of $6.80 per month. It is a nonrenewaDie policy designed as interim protection during readjustment to civilian life, he explained.

Another important advantage of buying VGLI. Lyons pointed out. is that it reinstates the veteran's right to convert his Sen-icemen's Group Life In­ surance policy to an individual policy at standard rates regar­ dless of his health or physical condition. Normally, this privilege terminates 120 days after discharge. Those covered by VGLI can convert on ter­ mination of the five-year VGLI policy.

A pamphlet prepared by the VA insurance center in Philadelphia gives complete information on the program. Hie pamphlet and application forms can be ob­ tained from local VA offices or by writing the Office of Ser­ vicemen's Group life Insurance, 212 Washington Street, Newark, New Jersev 07102.

Merchant Oversees Development

Attention Veterans

by BeUt PerryDavid Merchant was recently

.-ippointed Executive Director ot- the ThundtTbird Foundation. He tos tn-pn Director of Develop­ ment tor A(JSIM since September i:>. i'.«7-i

TheThunderbird Foundation is ;i (>nv;tte organization formed to raise money to aid the school in developing its entire program including the physical plant, teaching, and research.

"Prior to my appointment, there had not been a development director as such." Merchant said. "There has been fund raising in other aspects, but aside from the lYesident. no one person has f*f»fi im'niypd

"The need now is to coordinate the activities of each group," he added "We have not yet dearly defined the roles of the two organizations but that will be done within a short time."

"We have to be concerned with the raising of money to assure the future of the school," he said. "The three major areas to work on are a Research and Development Program, Capital Development, and Operating Encases."

The- school presently receives money from a few individuals and from corporations who have hired T-Birds. Over 85 per cent of operating expenses comes from tuition. Merchant wishes to develop grants for operating expenses in an effort to keep tuition from rising any faster than necessary.

"We do not get money from foundations or the federal government and no extensive support from individuals except those who have supported us over time." Merchant said. "We need to develop programs for in­ dividual giving, foundation grants, increased corporate grants for both specific programs and operating expenses, government grants, and deferred giving programs."

The Development Council was formed to work with Merchant's office on all matters of development. Merchant is Chairman. Hie other members are Director of Public Affairs,

'Jales Davison: "Director ofAlumni Affairs, I>iane Connelly: Director of Career Services, Owrlfv fonveille. Assistant Vice IVexirirn! and Controller. Lee Slick land: and ASI.C President !'.rurr Harris

"K.irh body represented has a m.ijor roie in development." Merchant said "I envision Iroader subcommittees in the future."

One of the major projects M«Tchant is concerned with at present is capital development of the campus and construction of a new cam pas here.

"Since the Carefree proposal Ins boon rejected, we are moving ahead with pians to rebuild here. We hope to have the new campus at least half completed by 1980," he said. "Ground will be broken for the first of the new buildings in about six months,"

"The Carefree proposal was rejected because the community there was not well enough along in its development to be certain that it could support us when we had to move," he said.

"Abo, we would have had to wait until the campus there was completely built to move. It would have been eight to ten years and the facilities here would have required major renovation before then," he said. "At least here we can phase in and out as we construct."

Other projects concerning Merchant's office are expansion of the corporate grant program, a US. - Arab Center for In­ ternational Management, and development programs for foundation grants, government grants, and the alumni program.

"At the present time, we are operating in the black and are very healthy, but if we run into hard times, there is nothing to fall back on," be said. "We are trying to keep costs down and give the school a cushion."

Originally from Cincinnati, Merchant came to AGSIM from the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business in Washington. D.C. where he was Project Director of International Governmental Affairs.

Food Committee Report

fin Friday. April 18, the Food Committee met with Mr. Crosson, Director of Food Ser­ vices.

During the course of oar discussion. Mr. Crosson ex- presse'd two main He first is waste.M-lf -serve items. This waste :imouJits to 4 per of the fond t-ost which coiMd ln» u--ed tor variety in meals, mure seconds or innd costs for the students. The -econd problem is with carryouls, particularly to students off the meal plan. Everyone subsidizes these who ilo it.

The cafeteria is self-supporting and any savings realized are used for improvements. Basically though, the food service is designed to be a break-even

reason for increases in the board costs this semester is the in­ crease in food pices.

Because many students are away for weekends or do not eat on campus on the weekends, a five-day meal plan with weekends a la carte is under consideration. Moreover, the cafeteria win be open during all vacations on an a la carte basis. The coffee shop will be closed during breaks but will be open when classes are to session.

Concerning other student questions. Mr. Crosson had the following comments. He cannot serve Dannon or Breakstone yogurt because it is not available in this area. Furthermore, yogurt is intended to be a substitute, for those who are serious about dieting, not a dessert. Otherwise it is too expensive as are seconds of the enfree for dinner.

Concerning donuts, due to verylimited space and labor, it isdifficult to have donuts preparedearly. They were originally in­tended to be served as con­tinental breakfast from 8:30 to9:00 a.m. However, due to.student requests for more donutsearlier. Mr. Crosson hopes toemploy a baker's assistant soon,

In response to studentclamours for less starch andmore protein, fresh fruit is nowavailable as an alternative todessert, cottage cheese andpeanut butter are alwaysavailable. Orange juice and eggs.are now served every morning,

The Food Committee has beenimpressed with Mr. Crosson'sinterest in student feedback andhis willingness to comply withstudent desires wheneverpossible. We find the largest areafor improvement to be in thepreparation of food which is agood part of what you pay for theservice. Also, a copy of a monthlyfcod budget with cost breakdownper student is available fromyour ASLC representative.

Mr. Crosson is most interested hi more effective communication with students. His door is always open. Also feel free to attend our weekly meetings with Mr. CYosson: we usually meet on Friday, at 9:00 a.m. in the, Thundcrbird Room.
