Patterson, assisnt d. Students, faculty and staff may now eat breakfast from 7;15 to 8:45 a.m. Dinner will be served from noon till 2 p.m., and supper will continue to be* served from 5:30 to 6:30. Dr. Patterson attributed the long lines to the fact that students all eat during the rush hour. He also said that when the new em ployees became more familiarized with their work and the old em ployees become better acquainted with the new system, students will be served more rapidly and efficiently. He announced that the Slater System, operators of the cafeteria, will be asked to change the exist ing meal ticket system, which has been severely criticized by many students. Under this system, stu dents purchase a $40.00 meal ticket for $38.00. Students are dissatisfied -because this ticket must be used within a thirty-day period. The Slater people will be asked to amend this system so that students will be allowed to use the meal ticket any time during the semester in which it is pur chased. This plan might go into effect next semester. Another contemplated change is to have a fixed-price lunch, as was had before, so that students who desire to budget themselves can do so. The fixed-price lunch would be sold td those who desire to pur -hase it instead of selecting their Dwn meal, Dr. Patterson said. Some students have complained that the prices are higher now. All the comments being made about the new system, however, ire not negative. Compliments iave been made on the facilities ind the new, bright appearance of 'he hall. The faculty dining room %nd the new side entrance have >een the subjects of complimentary remarks. "The Administration is open for iuggestions from students on the mprovement of Steward's Hall," Dlr. Patterson said. Any worth ,vhile suggestions made would be icted upon by the University or >assed on to the Slater System for Letion.
