Brown will close on weekends Jon Mayhew Staff Writer Hill residence hall students will be eating at Dodson cafeteria on weekends starting in late September. Brown Cafeteria will be closed on the weekends and instead of serving regular breakfast on the weekdays, they will switch to a continental-style breakfast. Cecil Ward, head of WCU Food Services, says economics played a role in the final decision. "A dollar only goes so far," said Ward. "We were told by Marriott Corporation to make a recommendation, and this was the best one we could come up with." John McCracken, director of Auxiliary Services, says there were many considerations taken in making this decision. "You have to look at the broad picture of the food service operadon of the food court [subsequent] operation of die food court [cost us several thousand dollars]. "However," continues McCracken, "there is no additional revenue coming in. There's a limit to how you can expand the options offered without making adjustments." "Therefore," continues McCracken, "we' ve looked at die numbers [in regards to overall operations of Brown and Dodson cafeterias on the morning shift and weekends]. We want to provide the students with as many options as we can. At the same time, die students have got to realize there has to be some give and some take. The breakfast and weekend participation at Brown donotjustify uskeeping die doors open." McCracken says there are a few consolations. "Brown Cafeteria is now open for dinner until 7pm [as opposed to 6:20] on weekdays. I hope the students view this as having expanded options. It's impossible to balance everything out" Meanwhile, reaction from the student body is negative, especially from the students that live around Brown Cafeteria. "Sounds to me that [this is the same old stuff]," says Darren Fullbright, a Senior Electronics Engineering major who lives in Albright. "There are those of us who like a hot breakfast without having to walk up to a mile "Brown" See Pg. 2 Annual picnic Department holds Arts/Sciences picnic Amy Seeley Staff Writer The first annual Arts and Sciences picnic was held September 2,1992 at die picnic area on campus. The department, which handles numerous majors, used this opportunity to open their doors and invite die different branches to come together on a social level. The cookout was held at WCU's picnic area and included the usual delicacies of grilled hot dogs and hamburgers. The picnic demonstrated Western Carolina's unique feature of encouraging students and faculty to relate on a personal level rather man the traditional teacher/studentrole. Studentsare invited to speak on a one-to-one basis with other students that share their major as well as the faculty involved in the department. Because students are on a common level with faculty during the social function, they're less likely to feel intimidated or threatened by expectations placed on them. The School of Arts and Sciences' curriculum ranges from the fine arts to humanities and sciences. The department advocates students to take a more active roll in their field. General manager of Z- 91, Bob McCanless, said, "They [the students] have got to learn that in business, you can't just be a wall-flower and succeed."
