New food court planned at Dodson Jennifer Mann Staff Writer Western students should have the luxury of a new food court on campus when they return for fall semester. If all goes as planned, Taco Bell, TCBY Yogurt, and Pizza Inn will set up their businesses in the bottom of Dodson Cafeteria where the Housing Office was located. Cecil Ward, Manager of Cafeteria Services at WCU, is working hard to make sure the new food court is open in the fall. "We're hitting to have it open when school starts, but it's not easy," said Ward. "It's amazing all of die fine details that you have to work out with these franchises." As of now, Ward said nothing is definite because WCU does not have a final contract with any of these companies. Ward said he has pushed to have these franchises come on campus because of the survey results that Western took in the spring. "Our surveys indicated these were good choices," said Ward. "I'm sure that Taco Bell is going to be the hottest item." In order to put the food court in the bottom of Dodson Cafeteria, the Housing Office had to move to the bottom floor of Scott Residence Hall. "This has been on the front burner for a long time and I've always wanted to put a food court in downstairs in the housing office," said Ward. Following the housing office's move, Ward and his employees have knocked down walls in that office and have taken out die carpet to clean it out. "Under the carpet we found quarry tile which is worth it's weight in gold to us in the food business," said Ward. "Quarry tile is a red brick looking tile." Ward said there will be seats in the food court for 80 people, and they may bring a food court upstairs into the cafeteria but they want to see how this one goes first. Ward said he does not see Brown Cafeteria getting a food court because of the high cost. This food court will probably be open from 10 am to 10 pm with continuous service. Ward said the declining balance meal system will work fine in the food court. He said they will have to come up with different combinations for people on the standard meal plan, but mat has not been settled as of now. Ward said he will probably hire 100 more students this fall than last year to help in die new food court. "The franchise people will help open them and then my people will train the new employees. We will men be audited by the franchise on a consistent basis," said Ward. Ward said he believes that the franchises in the food court will serve basically the same items as their regular restaurants. All three franchises will share a central cash register in die food court. "We have gone for the full Taco Bell and they serve 26 or 27 items. For Pizza Inn we'll decide on a few different sizes of pizza, but we'll probably stay with the whole pizzas, " said Ward. "On TCBY we'll be more limited. We'll have two machines with a total of six machines and the option of mixing. There will also be nine or ten toppings," Ward said. Ward said they have not yet decided on a name for the food court. "Someone said die other day to call it Cecil's Inn, but we' 11 have to see about that," said Ward.

WCU students intern at Walt Disney World Three Western Carolina University students took part in a real "Mickey Mouse" program this spring at a rather "Goofy" location. The students were working toward their "mousters" or "ducktorate" degrees through die Walt Disney World College Program, a semester-long internship at the theme park and resort complex in Lake B uena Vista, Fl orida.

The "living experience" places students in apartments with international students participating in the company's Cultural Representa tive Program. The "learning experience" consists of 10 weekly business seminars led by Disney managers who explain fundamentals and practicing policies of die company. The "working experience" places students in entry-level jobs at me Magic Kingdom, Epcot Center, the Disney- MGM Studios Theme Park, or resort areas. Depending upon their fields of study and career choices, students become Disney cast members or work in merchandise, attractions, custodial, hospitality, food services, transportation or lifeguard positions.

"Where the Ravens Roost," featuring Cherokee traditional songs by Walker Calhoun, was selected for die American Folklife Center publication "American Folk Music and Folklore Recordings 1991: A Selected List," published by the Library of Congress.

The music on "Where me Ravens Roost" celebrates every aspect of Cherokee Indian life, from harvest to hunt to sacred and social occasions. The tape is one of about 30 selected from hundreds submitted by recording companies to a panel of specialists in American traditional music. The 1991 folk recordings list will be available by late summerfree of charge from the American Folklife Center, Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. 20540.
