commented Whitley.
Fine Host was chosen by the
College board and will replace
Chartwells Dining Services start
ing next fall. Chartwells had a one
year contract with a two-year ex
tension that will end on June 30.
Financially, Fine Host offers 6%
commissions back to the school,
estimated to be as much as
$ 100,680 over the next three years.
They also plan to invest $50,000
to remodel the existing cafeteria,
including a snack bar operation in
the Skylight Dining Room. Mt.
Hood, with a similar cafeteria, re
ceived the same remodeling, which
was followed by a 22% increase in
sales.
The committee believes that
the changes will benefit stu

“I think you’ll see an increase

he real world would be so much simpler if only
T
it worked like the college world.
Imagine. The answers to life’s questions could all be
found upside-down at the end of a textbook.
Missed opportunities could be capitalized upon with
a simple make-up exam.
And problems at work could be instantly remedied by
taking the semester off.
At Portland State, we realize that the real world will
never be like college.
So we’ve tried to make college a little more real.
More practical. More pragmatic. More relevant to life
far beyond the ivy-covered halls of academia.
That’s why our curriculum focuses not only on books
and lectures, but on actual real-world experience in
your field.
So you’re out in the community learning how the real
world operates.
Solving problems. Communicating. Collaborating.
In short, learning the things you’11 heed to know to
succeed - not just while you’re going to school, but long
after you graduate.
Call us at (503)725-9983 or visit www.pdx.edu to
learn more about Portland State.
We’re here every day Just like people who live out
there in the real world.
I f college is supposed to prepare you for the real world ,
HOW COME THE REAL WORLD ISN'T MORE LIKE COLLEGE?
