  • PAGE 16/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/OCTOBER 19, 1978 Letters Reader says cafeteria sucks Dear Editor, Are you tired of letters bitching about the cafeteria food? Well, here's another one. I think the most common complaint about the cafeteria food is the fact that it tastes terrible! Nowhere have 1 found food as tastlessly prepared and served than that in the WCU cafeterias. In addition to the lousy food, there is no change in the limited menu they offer. We have to eat the same slop month after month, year after year. There are several other areas in which the WCU food service is deficient. First of all, if I am not going to use my meal ticket, why can't I give it to a friend to use. It seems after I've already paid for my meals, I should be the judge of who eats my food. Also, there should be a better way to serve commuters. Why not have books of tickets in different monetary denominations so a student could pick what he wants to eat, instead of being faced with an all or nothing situtation (yech!). Finally, why should dorm students have to buy meal tickets. There are several restaurants in Cullohwee that serve three meals a day, so why should the cafeteria have a monopoly in serving dorm students. I resent being told by the school where I can and cannot eat. When is WCU going to change this situtation and start thinking about students first, not business. Yours truly, Mike Stephens Commuter tickets need change Dear Editor, As a commuter student I am appalled at the system used for commuter tickets. As it stands now you can buy a lunch ticket only, which is good for one meat, two vegetables, one salad, one dessert, and one beverage. However, if one eats dinner and gets one meat, (the same type and size proportion served at lunch) two vegetables, one salad and one dessert it costs extra, or what is even more common they just take two tickets. I see no reason for the difference in cost or the NMCSIWPw OOOP EMEN\M&- AKlP THANK.

If there is such a marked difference why do they not offer dinner tickets? Or better yet change the whole meal ticket system to something similar to many other universities in this area. For instance, why not sell books of tickets to all students in monetary denominations and let the students "buy the food at the face value of the tickets?" Food should cost no more to purchase, prepare, or serve under this system, and then if a student wants only a salad, he pays only for a salad, an if he wants three meats he can pay for that too. Under this system the tickets could be used at the cafeterias, the snack bar, and the Top of the Stairs. Perhaps even an arrangement could be made by the university with some of the local restaurants to accept tickets. This would serve both the students and help the local businesses. Hopefully, the students will soon see f FIRST IT VMS CUARLieS ANGeis TueN THRees QW1RMN, THeM ANTON GIRLS, TlieN FLYING HIGH, a change in the meal ticket system. Thank you, Stan Carman Crime rising in Cullowhee? Dear Editor, By virtue of Cullowhee's location and mellowness we have enjoyed a relatively small crime rate. I would hope that the incidence of theft is not on the rise but it seems that a small number of assholes are hitting the Reid Gym locker rooms at convenient times to ransack lockers. Monday at 11:30 my wallet was stolen while I was catching a shower. I would like to appeal to the person who ripped me off hopefully in order to at least get my wallet back. If anyone finds a brown trifold wallet please turn it in to security. Now if you, the thief reads this letter listen! If you return the wallet with any or all of the money in it I promise to use the money to buy a keg or kegs and invite everybody to the party. Now how about it Cullowhee, lets get that wallet back and we'll all get drunk one night.
