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

A Marine Corps Officer Selec

a& Capt. Earl S. Piper, Jr., plans to

in obtaining a Marine Corps comn
mission. At present, vacancies ex

plications.
S Cap)t. Piper stated that several
excellent programs are offered by
the Marine Corps. The Platoon
Leadlers Class Program is avail

would cost $16.15. 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.

The Marine Corps also offers a

ranged so as not to interfere with
college work and all students are
