ARC Elects Rubino, Reynolds,
Plans Food Service Investigation

By ROSS HETRICK

Third-year college student
Richard Rubino was elected
president of the Association of
Residential Councils
Wednesday. Other officers
elected were second-year
student Wayne Reynolds,
vice-president; second-year
student Sandra Divine,
secretary; and second-year
student Francine Malatin,
treasurer.

The Association is an
organization of the student

councils of all the upper
class dormitories. These
include Monroe Hill, Alderman
Road, McKim and Mary
Munford Councils.

The Association, which is
composed of representatives
from the different councils,
works for "the comfort and
betterment of the
dorms," according to newly
elected President Rubino

Some of the
accomplishments of the
Association have included an
evaluation of the resident staff
program and the up-grading of
the dormitory judicial system.

"We'd like to investigate
the way housing is charging for
damages as well as increasing
interaction between all the
dorms," Vice President
Reynolds said in reference to
his and Mr. Rubino's plans for
the coming year.

More Communicative

Mr. Reynolds said   the
most important task for the
Association was that of
communications. He points to
the fact that both he and Mr.
Rubino have worked closely
with housing authorities and
are much more communicative
since they have worked with
the authorities.

Such things as food services
and the speed of mail service
have been improved by
increasing communication,
according to Mr. Reynolds.

Mr. Reynolds sees much
that needs improving. "We
would like to investigate Food
services practice of
emphasizing profit and not
service."

Open Square Cafeteria

He also said the   Open
Square Cafeteria should be
opened on Saturday. "People
are told that these facilities will
be opened when they come to
school and then they are closed
in the middle of the year,"
observed Mr. Reynolds.

Five hundred and nineteen
students took part in
Wednesday's election. This was
52 per cent of the total
number of residents in upper
class dorms, and was an
increase over the 17 per cent
from last year's election.
