  • September 9,1993 Volume 59 Issue 3 Cullowhee, NC 'Western Carolinian The Voice of The Catamounts WCUwelcomesMarriott Food Services Caroline Roper Staff Reporter After 37 years, Cecil Ward decided to retire last spring as General Manager of Food Services at WCU. Director of Auxiliary Services, John Thompson, accepted many proposals from various competitive food services over the summer. It was decided that Marriott Education Food Services would receive the bid and begin their programs at Western starting September 1st. Thompson said that in looking for the right food service, three main objectives were considered. First was a service that could provide the highest potential for student satisfaction. The second objective was to protect job security for those already employed by Western food services. Thirdly, he looked for a food service that would be most productive to the university. Marriott representatives say they are looking at the best interests of the students, something some students feel Cecil Ward overlooked. Beth Hughey, a senior at WCU said, "I'm very excited, and I hope new management will make a lot of needed changes." Fred Wencel is now serving as Western Carolina's new food director for Marriott services. His two main priorities include getting rid of the long cafeteria lines and improving the quality of the food. "Dodson is our number one priority. We will be implementing our programs and focus on problems in Dodson first, and then go from mere," says Wencel. Marriott serves 450 colleges in the United States, and Wencel was director at the University of South Carolina before coming to Western. "We have an advantage in that we have the ability to make ideas that work at different campuses and fit these ideas to Western," says Wencel. Wencel also says it will take a few weeks before students will notice a change. It will take Marriott services time to deal with employer training and relate to the needs of the students. Marriott hopes to incorporate a new recipe cycle, including healthier items. Wencel says this new menu "will be here within the next few weeks." The overall atmosphere among workeft in Dodson has already changed considerably. New attitudes and fresh ideas are apparent among the employees, and the management from Marriott services is very enthusiastic about implementing new programs. Micky Walton, a Dodson employee, said "The students wanted a change. It's exciting and different. There are going to be a lot of changes, and we are looking forward to it. I'm very excited for the students, and that's what we are here for, to serve them and give them what they want."

The new Madison Hall will be showcased at an open house scheduled for 3 to 5 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 15. Activities will include a reception, refreshments, remarks by WCU Chancellor Myron L. Coulter and vicechancellors Joseph Carter and Glenn Stillion, and a tour. The 54-year-old building, located in WCU's scenic "hill area," has undergone extensive interior renovations to provide hotel-standard accomodations matching those available at other top-quality conference centers, said Carter, WCU's vice chancellor for business affairs. Madison Hall now offers 57 modern guest rooms, including several that can be combined into larger suite units.

Vassian, a soprano soloist, will be assisted in her performance by James Swisher, pianist in residence and associate professor of music at Davidson College. Vassian is also a Davidson faculty member. She is an instructor of voice at Davidson and a performer with Carolina Opera in Charlotte. Vassian and Swisher will be perf orm- ing Mozart's "Alleluja," Robert Schumann's "Songs of Mignon" including "Do You Know of the Land?", Claude Debussey's "Fetes Galantes II," as well as works by Mark Saya, and Carlisle Floyd. Vassian started her studies in voice at Cullowhee High School when she was 14 years of age. She went on to study music at Baylor University in Texas, where she received her Bachelor's Degree. After graduating from Baylor, she returned to Cullowhee to pursue a master's degree in music, which she earned in 1986. Vassian then studied abroad for five years, including a year at the Zurich, Switzerland, Conservatory of Music. She also performed in several operas at the Biel Opera House, including Puccini's "Gianni Schicchi," Mozart's "La Finta Giardiniera" and Haydn's "Stabat Mater." The performance will be at 8pm on Thursday night in the Recital Hall of WCU's Music-English Building. Tickets for the recital are $5 for adults, $3 for youths (4-17), and $3 for WCU students with a valid identification card. The LCE Series is supported in part by a grant from the Jackson County Arts Council.
