This is it This is the last issue of the semester barring some unforseen natural disaster that destroys half the campus. We are students too and have to prepare for final exams. In order to do that we need about two weeks of sleep. Enjoy Thanksgiving, good luck on finals and have a wonderful Christmas, Hanukkah , Yom Kippur or whatever you celebrate during the holiday season. Oh, we almost forgot, have a happy new year too. Our first issue of the Spring semester will be Thursday, Jan. 23. Thursday, November 21, 1991 Cullowhee, North Carolina RHC, Food Service plan Spring menu Dave McCaskill News Writer Last Thursday officers of the Residence Hall Council and their assistants met with food service administrators to discuss plans for next semester's menu, as well as budget allocations, locations for a new food court, food prices, and nutrition. "The main purpose [of the meeting] was to get the RAs input from students and to pick volunteers for a menu committee," said Cecil Ward, Director of Food Services. The committee size is expected to be approximately 25 to 30 in number, and will be composed of members of the student body. "We will try to get a menu in place before January 1," said John McCracken, Director of Auxiliary Food Services. According to food service directors, there are approximately 3,557 total students on meal plans. The money that is not used by the students is put in a reserve account controlled by the food service for building renovations (ie. re-roofing). "I expect a good deal of interest from students about next semester's menu selection as well as other controversial food service issues," said Amy Jennings, Vice-president of the Residence Hall Association. Ward pointed out that Western' s food service does have advantages. "Compared to other cafeterias, Western is on the lower end of the scale as far as food prices areconcerned," said Ward. Some other facts about the program such as budgetary allocations were discussed. These included a total of $4.5 million per year that is divided into 3 parts; $1.2 million for raw food materials, $1.6 million for wage compensation and $1.7 million for overhead (i.e. utilities and other required expenditures). The Auxiliary Food Service's operational costs are covered solely by fees charged. This industry is analogous to Housing and semester tuition fees which are treated as separate entities. The food service does not receive funds from state or Federal agencies. However, WCU has a quasi business arrangement and the cafeteria is on state land which exempts it from property taxes or mortgage payments. "A mild form of socialism" was the explanation given by Glen Stillion, Vice- Chancellor for Student Development, for the inequality between the 21 and 15 meal plans. For example, those students who take full advantage of the meal plan are compensated by See "Menu" page 3 Sigma Chi officially chartered at Western Douglas R Pease Contributing writer As of 11:24 A.M. on November 16, 1991, Sigma Chi Alpha local fraternity ceased to exist at Western Carolina University. In its place is the Kappa Gamma Chapter of Sigma Chi Fraternity, the 220th active chapter. With the installation of the Kappa Gamma chapter, Sigma Chi brings to WCU an illustrious history dating back to 1855. For the sixty-three charter members of Sigma Chi at WCU, the removal of the "Alpha" from Sigma Chi Alpha was the culmination of five years hard work. Organized in the fall of 1986, Sigma Chi Alpha has had the ambition of becoming a chapter of the Sigma Chi International Fraternity. Jesse Webb III, whose father is a Sigma Chi, actually began the process during the summer of 1986 when he realized that Western did not have a chapter of Sigma Chi. Wanting to share the bond of brotherhood with his father, he sought permission from the fraternity's national Executive Committee to form an interest group at Western Carolina University. That fall, he recruited others interested in his dream and Sigma Chi Alpha was born. Through the years, the fraternity had to complete three separate phases of development and organization. In effect, the local fraternity had to operate as a normal chapter would - without the benefit of a charter. Brothers participated in road clean-ups and fund-raisers for local and national charities. For example, Sigma Chi Alpha held two Derby Days fund- raisers for R.E.A.C.H. of Jackson County. Sigma Chi Alpha also helped form a Sigma Chi alumni association for Western North Carolina. The final, formal petition for a charter was submitted during the latter part of the 1991 pnato courtesy L«ia oreeatov. The brothers of Sigma Chi Alpha became pledges of Sigma Chi Sunday Nov. 10 at the Constantine Chapter Memorial monument spring semester and was approved by Sigma Chi's headquarters in August. During the week prior to Saturday's installation, the current undergrad brothers became official pledges of Sigma Chi. The week began Sunday with a trip to Sigma Chi's Constantine Chapter Memorial in Jonesboro, GA, just below Atlanta. The memorial is a tribute to those Sigma Chi's who fought during the Civil War and formed a non-collegite chapter during the See "Sigma Chi" page 2 SGA questions Ward's policies Jennifer Mann News Editor Cecil Ward, Director of WCU Food Services, denied that turkey frozen for two years had been served in the cafeteria. This denial came during a question/answer session for' SGA on Tuesday. The allegation about the turkey was made by a food service employee in the Nov. 7, 1991 issue of The Western Carolinian. Ward said that he bought the turkey in question a month before the date was to run out "The turkey was two weeks out of date when it was served," said Ward. According to Ward, the turkey went out to a dorm party and was set out in packages. "They saw the date on it and immediately called the health inspector," said Ward. "The inspector did the whole check and said it was o.k. to serve it on out." Questions Senators asked Ward included the following: •Question: (Senator Nolan Davis) Is the food ser- See"SGA"Page3 Rice chairs housing Association Caroiintan pttoio try numtr rapt Taking advantage of the recent spring-like weather, sophomore Mike Crapps juggles various objects in front of the AIumniTower Tuesday afternoon. Julie Wingruber News Writer Randy Rice, WCU'sDi- rector of Housing, has recently been appointed chairman of the membershipcommitteeof the Association of College and University Housing-Officers International. "This brings recognition to Western in that the thousands of schools involved will know that their membership information comes from the Housing Director at WCU," said Rice. The housing program at Western is recognized internationally as being of top notch quality. In 1986, Western Carolina University hosted an international conference which continues to bring recognition to faculty and staff. Rice says that this speaks well of the high standards that WCU has continued to maintain and to how favorably we are reviewed by our peers. "The best thing about housing here is our phenomenal student body," said Rice. He believes that the staff of residence halls is what makes housing successful. An average of 2,000 programs is conducted each year by housing See "Housing" page 2
