F A RATED SAE ALL-AMERICAN POIE SPRtING, 1963CHNE UNIVERSITY OF - SOUTH CAROLINA CROWING FOR A GREATER CAROUNA VOL UV, NO. 20 COLUMBIA, SOUTH CAROLINA, FEBRUARY 21, 1964 FOUNDED 1908 Slater F Imp rovet BY DICK ELLIOT News Staff Writer Foreign particles, so often found in food prepared by the Slater Food Service, will soon be a thing of the past. In an exclusive interview this week with The Gamecock As sistant Managing Editor, George M. Troup professed awareness of the fact that foreign particles are found in the food and promised that Slater would conduct an all out battle against this menace to the health of the USC student. 'This complaint was one of several presented to Mr. Troup by the Food Committee, a group headed by Miss Elizabeth Clot worthy, Dean of Women. The committee, composed of faculty menhers and students, reviews complaints concerning the Slater Food Service and then presents its suggestions to Mr. Troup. This group was formed in 1959 at the request of the Slater Sys tem; however, its efforts have received little recognition. Student complaints range from the choice of food to the cafeteria facilities. Students frequently ex press dissatisfaction with the limited choice of vegetables, espe cially concerning the ever-present green beans; yet Mr. Troup in sists that green beans remain the biggest seller. The lack of shelves for books and coats is another source of ir ritation to students, but Mr. Troup announced that Slater plans to remedy this situation in the near future. Mr. Troup also ex pressed pride in the three cafe terias available to students; he feels that a student can break the monotony of dining hall eating by changing from one cafeteria to another. In this way the student can take advantage of the dis tinctive atmosphere of each dining hall on campus. The board plan offered by the Slater Food Service is a plan whereby a student buys, at a re duced price, a meal ticket which is good for a week. Paying regu lar prices, all meals for the week Marine Coi Plans Cai A Marine Corps Officer Selec tion Officer for South Carolina is scheduled to visit USC on Mon dlay, Tuesday, andl Wednesday, Feb. 241-26. a& Capt. Earl S. Piper, Jr., plans to interview those students interested in obtaining a Marine Corps comn mission. At present, vacancies ex ist for ground and aviation ap plications. S Cap)t. Piper stated that several excellent programs are offered by the Marine Corps. The Platoon Leadlers Class Program is avail able to freshmen, sophomores, and juniors, while seniors may par ticipate in the Officer Candidate course.

The board plan price is $10.30, a reduction of $5.85. According to Mr. Troup, this tremendous saving is made possible by the number of students who buy tickets and then do not eat all their meals in the cafeteria. As of this week, 490 students had signed up for the board plan. This compares with 390 tsigned after the first three weeks of the fall semester. A total of 900 stu dents signed up for the board plan during the fall semester, an in crease of 350 over the spring se mester of 1963. The Slater Food Service em ploys approximately 150 people excluding students. Students are hired for part-time work and are paid one 90-cent meal ticket per hour. No withholding tax or so cial security is deducted from a student employee's pay because. according to Mr. Troup, many students work a few hours then quit. Also, because the tax deduc tions would amount to too large a percentage of the student's salary. However, the student em ployees are automatically covered by workmen's compensation in surance. Fred W. Ponder, a member of the Labor Commission in South Carolina, remarked, "Payment of wages in scrip, while not contrary to statute, is actually frowned upon in modern day labor prac tices." The Slater Food Service and the University work together in setting the prices. Mr. Troup ex plained that the business can not operate at a loss, for the student would ultimately be af fected, undoubtedly, by higher fees. The Slater System takes a fee out of the income it re ceives and the remaining profit is turned over to the University. The actual amount of money made by the University last se mester was not available at this time. Students who are interested in the cafeteria system and the Uni versity are urged to present their views and suggestions to the Food Committee. ps Officer rzpus Visit The Marine Corps also offers a Woman Officer Program avail able to junior and senior women. Capt. Marie Broetzman, Woman Officer Selection Officer, will also be on campus to interview young ladies interested in this program. Marine officer training is ar ranged so as not to interfere with college work and all students are required to receive their degree C before being assigned to active ti duty. sa While at the University, Capt.
