Students want more Mexican food
By Kim Lightle Kansan staff writer
There may be some changes on the menu for residents who eat in cafeterias at all University residence halls.
Next fall, each cafeteria may offer expanded menus and longer serving hours because of a survey handed out to residents during a meal last week. Peggy Smith, assistant director of food services, said yesterday.
The survey was designed to find out whether residents would be interested in services similar to those offered at other universities. Smith said the results were representative of the residents.
Smith said that 990 of the halls'
4,300 residents answered the survey, which asked questions about what kind of menu items residents would like added and whether the serving hours were long enough.
More than half of the residents who answered said that the serving hours should be extended and that more menu items should be added. Smith said residents requested more Mexican food and chicken nuggets. They also asked that cold cereal be served at every meal.
Jenny Barack, Omaha, Neb., freshman, Oliver Hall resident, said, "It's not exactly my mom's cooking. But the variety is OK."
Residents also were asked whether they would like a plan in which each
means.
Barack said that although she thought the variety of items served was adequate, she would like to see the plan implemented on a trial basis.
cafeteria would serve a different kind of food. Under the plan, one residence hall would serve fast food like hamburgers, and other residence halls would serve menus that included vegetarian or international meals.
Although residents wanted more variety and specialized kinds of menus, they don't want to have to eat in a hall other than their own, Smith said.
"They want to have their cake and eat it too," she said. "We're really
creatures of habit. We want to eat with our friends and where we know our way around."
Shannon Craig, Sterling, Va., sophomore, who lives in McCollum Hall, said that she objected to having a specialized menu for each hall when she filled out the survey.
"Depending on what hall you got, it could be bad," she said. "I wouldn't mind eating in a different hall once in a while, but I wouldn't want to every meal."
No decisions have been made yet about changes for next fall, but a committee will be appointed this week that will recommend some changes at the end of the semester.
New chairman picked for Senate committee
By a Kansan reporter
Student body president Jason Krakow appointed a member of the Student Senate Elections Committee yesterday as its new chairman.
Krakow chose Election Committee member Brian Stern to replace Steve Dixon. Dixon resigned Sunday because of personal reasons.
Krakow said Stern was qualified for the job.
"He is a responsible person that can carry us through the end," Krakow said.
Stern said his transition to chairman hadn't caused any problems for this week's student elections.
"I don't foresee any at all," Stern said. "Things are going good right now."
Krakow agreed, saying he didn't see any problems because of Stern taking the Election Committee post only a few days before the election.
"It has caused us no problems with the balloting procedure or the counting of election results," Kraku said.
