Students Urged To
Support Non-Profit
Eating Establishment
The high school dining room at
he University will be forced to
lose Feb. 1, unless the student pa
ronage increases by that (late, ac
ording to a statement made by
irs. Arncy A. Childs, dean of
omen.
''his dining room, like the 'Wade
lampton Cafeteria, is operated only
>r the benefit of the students. No
rofit is collected by the University
s the rates charged are only
nough to cover the overhead ex
enses. The dietition is paid a
traight salary by the University.
In the past students have com
lained about the lack of board fa
ilities offered by the University, so
he University High school dining
nom was opened. It was equipped
ith refrigeration and a steam dish
asher to ensure the patronizers of
areful handling of food and dishes.
ow the students are making con
laints that the dining room is too
ir from the dormitories. According
a Mrs. Childs, this dining rcom is
carer than those in many colleges,
Dr in some schools the dining halls
re located as far as a mile from the
earest girls' dormitory. Also, these
amplaining about the food must re
iember that the two dining rooms
perated by the University are run
-ithin the point allotments set by
te 0PA, and for that reason punch
ckets cannot be sold.
Only 150 tickets can be sold for
uy one month at th deWade liainp
In cafeteria; therefore any Carolina
udents, coeds or civilian boys, may
urchase tickets for the high school
ining room. The tickets for both
ifeterias must be purchased be
vecen the first and third of each
uontlh, and will rui from the fourth
one month to the fourth of the
illowing month.
