  • PAGE 4/THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN/FEBRUARY 8, 1979 Committee may need more time WCU cafeteria system still under scrutiny byJ.M.TRJNKS Staff Writer The student senate's Cafeteria Study Committee may have to ask for another extension to report its findings on the dissatisfaction of the present mandatory and commuter meal ticket plans. Senate Resolution 750, sponsored by the Office of the President in association with the Research Coordinator, established the student committee on November 6, 1978, and had a deadline of January 16, 1979. It was referred to the Committee on University Services. The Rules Committee recently extended the deadline until early March. In seperate interviews last week, Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Glenn Stiilion and student body President Wanda Nelson talked about the cafeteria problems. "We haven't gotten anything from the Foods Advisory Committee (FAC) except disapproval," President Nelson said. "We are not sitting on this thing; we're trying to get something done. But as far as the survey, we're at a standstill." The FAC is chaired by Dr. C.J. Carter, vice chancellor for business affairs, and members are Cecil Ward, food service director; Gary Crocker, director of the UC Snack Bar; Dr. Barbara Cosper, associate professor of home economics; High McDonnell, director of Financial services; John McCracken, director of university support services; and two students, Alan Jordan and SGA research coordinator Debbie Shew. Nelson said Jordan, Shew and she took the first draft of a proposed campus-wide survey to the FAC in early December 1978. It was rejected and they were told to go to Dr. Stiilion and draw up another survey that would be "more objective, more professional," according to Nelson. Dr. Stiilion said the survey "would not give us any information that we did not already know. If you already know what your issues are, then surveys are generally weak ways to find out things." Nelson said the second time the survey was presented to the FAC, several questions were marked out and some committee members are still not satisfied Dr. Stiilion said he believed there was still some concern over some questions, too. A copy of the survey shows that the general introduction was changed from "This survey is being conducted to determine opinions about the quality of food service in the cafeterias at WCU" to "...opinions about the attitude toward food service..." Also, question four, "Would you buy a meal ticket if it was not required" was omitted; and part of question eight "Would you like to see any of the following alternate plans offered" was changed from no meal and seven-meal plans to 14 and 21-meal plans. Dr. Stiilion said the chancellor said he would be willing to consider two possible meal plans, probably the 15-meal and the present 21-meal plan, providing the FAC could ever decide on the purchase amounts. He also said he and Shew discussed forming a sub-committee or an appeals committee to hear requests for exemptions from residence hall students' mandatory food contract. Shew said the present biggest complaint with students is that Ward has the final say on whether one can cancel the food contract. The new committee would be similiar to the appeals committee that Housing has for residence hall students who disagree with deposit refunds and damage charges. Shew said the chancellor unexpectedly showed up at the last FAC meeting. (Neither he nor President Nelson are members of the committee.) "His biggest concern was the price increase of the 21-meal plan if alternate plans are permitted," she said. Full-time meal tickets now cost $250 per semester and will rise $20 to $270 per semester beginning next fall. The chancellor remained steadfast that residence hall students must purchase some kind of meal plan, Shew said. Shew said she feels most students want a ten or 15-meal plan, especially students who never eat breakfast nor are here on weekends. The FAC refused to budget a proposed price for the ten-meal plan, but gave Shew indefinite figures for a 15-meal plan and the expected price rise for a 21-meal plan. She said these were based on at least 3,000 residence hall students purchasing apian of some kind. Shew also asked the FAC to consider "unlimited seconds" on food. "It would be a breakthrough if we could get these three (alternate meal plans, appeals committee and unlimited seconds)" she said. "They don't want us to do the survey, but we want an opinion from the students. If they want it changed, I think it should be. "But I am concerned that if we tell them (the FAC) we're going to do a survey, then we won't get anything," Shew said. The survey must be approved by Ken Wood, director of institutional affairs, before it can be conducted on the campus. ' . . The next FAC meeting is scheduled a week from todav The WCU cafeteria system Is the subject of an SGA study which has run into problems, mainly centering around a lack of cooperation in gathering information from those in charge of the system. The cafeteria study is one of the planks of SGA President Wanda Nelson's campaign platform, but the results have been delayed considerably. coming...
