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.
