Styrofoam coffee cups raise clatter about costs
Dear Beef Box:
The lead article in the Oregon Daily Emerald the other
day referred to the necessity of raising prices and cut
ting back personnel in the EMU food service operation
so that it would be profit making or, at the very least, a
break-even operation. This morning, as on many morn
ings, I went to the EMU for my coffee break i noticed
the standard condition at 10 a m. - no cups and the
reverting to styrofoam containers. This forced me to
investigate the cost benefits:
1. Coffee cups purchased at a restaurant supply are
$5.50 per dozen and have an “unlimited” life expec
tancy (provided they aren't dropped or deliberately
banged together).
2. Styrofoam cups are single trip vehicles at a cost of
1.3t per cup.
3. Even amortizing the cost of washing, breakage,
etc., in 50 trips a cup would pay for itself as opposed to
using styrofoam.
I, for one, do not like to drink coffee out of an imper
sonal plastic cup. It would appear that the simple ex
pedience of having an adequate number of china cups
might help change the profit picture by a few pennies
and a few pennies can always be used.
If I can call restaurant suppliers and derive this infor
mation, it would appear that a person in management
who is beinq paid to do this job could do pikewise

, P. S. At lunch there is a paucity of soup spoons. One
day I waited 20 minutes to have one washed so I could
eat the "cooling" soup. Is this any way to run a
cafeteria? / guess so at the University of Oregon!
The costs incurred while using styrofoam cups are all
too familiar to EMU food personnel. The problem lies not
in poor management, but in poor morals! "We purch
ased a more than adequate supply of coffee cups at the
beginning of the year,” says Ken Larsen, EMU Food
Director, “but through pilferage and loss, we re running
really short.”
The EMU was assigned funds to purchase the dish
ware last year, and will not be allocated more until the
end of the fiscal year in June. “I don’t like using
styrofoam cups any more than our customers,’ Larsen
remarks, "but it’s the only thing we can do. When we put
the china cups out, people just walk away with them. At
this point, it’s cheaper to use styrofoam cups — nobody
steals them!”
!t is reasonable to assume that theft is also responsi
ble for the shortage of silverware in the various eating
areas. Aside from chaining the utensils to the tables
(which could get a little difficult when it came time to
wash them), there seems to be no way to end the
pilfering. The fledgling apartment-dweller may find
"shopping” at the EMU a great way to outfit a kitchen,
but the rest of us might have to go back to eating with our
fingers!
Dear Beef Box:
When the EMU food service features roast beef, must
it always be well-done gray? When I asked for “medium
rare," I got a blank stare. What gives?

Cooking for several hundred people a day can be
rather demanding at times, but “we want to please our
customers,” says EMU Food Director Ken Larsen. Ac
cording to Larsen, the only reason meat is always
cooked one way is because there hasn’t been enough
demand to warrant a change. “If enough requests come
in, we ll be glad to comply,'' he states.
To get your "beef on the beef” across with best re
sults, Larsen suggests using the suggestion box located
in the various food service areas.
