Among the changes students suggestec for the system were: extending breakfas hours in the cafeterias; lifting restrictions on the hours that students may use mea cards; improving the quality of food in th< Patterson Hall and Bates House cafeterias to match that of foods served in the Russel House and Capstone cafeterias; and no weighing salad howls to determine th< amount students must pay for a salad. One student, Cathy Seaquey, echoed othe students' comolaints about the all-vou-car eat cafeterias. "Patterson Hall and Bate are advertised as being all-you-can-ea cafeterias, but it's really 'all you can't eat. The food there is really bad," she said. FRESHMAN COURTNEY WELL agreed If you have to pay for it, you should be aDi to eat it," she said. Although SAGA has lost almost $135,000 o its USC operation this semester alone SAGA has no immediate plans to rais prices in its cafeterias on campus, said Cai Chandler, director of food services at USC "Price increases aren't what it takes t solve financial problems. In fact, a pric increase is one of the last things that I' consider."

In response to students' qualms about not being able to make up meals they miss on a . 14- or 19-meal plan, Chandler said students must realize the plans take into account that students don't eat all of their meals. "If everv student ate the exact amount of meals that he is entitled to, the price for all would be significantly higher. You see, the plans are based on an expected number of attendance a t each mea 1." Chandler said SAGA has taken student attitude surveys to determine what foods students like and what foods are unpopular and should be eliminated. mm Ml liw || ?
