Leia Cloer Oregon City New cafeteria worth the wait To The Editor: “Fantastic!” is what I have to say about the new cafeteria. Thè waiting was worth getting better and more efficient ser vice. The prices have not changed, which is a pleasant surprise, and I hope it stays that way. There is only one gripe I have which I think will settle itself once all the customers are used to it. That is that one can skip one line and go on to the next, but I guess that students were just conditioned to waiting in line. There are no more large lines at the cash register, which is a plus. The only problem, I think, was why wasn’t this built early when the student flow was projected ear ly? Perhaps if the contract was given early to the construction company, the cost would have been less, but what’s important is that now we have a better, efficient and more appealing cafeteria.
