Exchanges Arranged

In committee reports, Food
Services Committee Chairman
Taylor Putney told Council
that 78 exchanges of Contract
meal tickets have been
arranged for students in
Council's exchange program.

Mr. Putney also reported
that the Open Square Cafeteria
has been closed on Sunday
due to lack of student use.

He told Council that Food
Services Director Bernard
Fontana has said 200
customers are needed to justify
the Sunday operation while
only 80 to 140 have been using
the facility.

Food Services has also
experimentally opened the
Glass Hat and Castle from 7:30
to 9 a.m. but has not had
sufficient business to justify
continuation of the schedule,
Mr. Putney said.

The Food Services Advisory
Committee will meet for the
first time next Tuesday.

In his charge to the students
on the committee, Student
Council President Jim Rinaca
emphasized that the "most
important task facing students
on the committee should be
review of the Food Services
Division's budget."

Mr. Rinaca made it clear in
light of recent changes in food
policy particularly in regards
to curtailment of services in
several facilities that "it
should be the student
representative's responsibility
to see that full accountability
be given to students."

"As long as the Food
Services Budget shows
surpluses, the committees' most
important concern should be
to ensure that the University
community receive the fullest
benefits," he asserted.
