Most students favor this year's foot
service to previous years', but some
students complained that prices are to<
high, according to a Gamecock survey.
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

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.
