Whipping Block

It's obvious from
the paper of October 9
that the Monday staff ran out
of ideas for editorials, because
they had to resort to the
favorite whipping-block of the
University, the Contract
Cafeteria.

Either the person who wrote
the editorial doesn't eat on
Contract this year or else
he/she doesn't like food. When
I went on Contract my first
year, they served food that
could only be described as
revolting. I suffered through
that year, vowing that I would
never eat on Contract again.
But finding the cost of eating
in C'ville as being astronomical.
I decided this year, my last
year at the U., to go back to
that former bane of my
stomach.

However, I came back to a
different Cafeteria this year.
The food, to my surprise, was
not only edible, but even good!
Who ever heard of shrimp
creole in Contract; even with
shrimp in it!! The food has
been very satisfying–I don't
even eat as well at home.

The CD should try
contract once in a while,
instead of their own words.
