rMore Time For Meals! l.;, i year the Rotunda waged with some > i' e ol i campaign for improvemenl of food in the College dining hall, since then, the food, although still no .,;, tronomic delight, has been more invitins and nourishing. Yet students still And their digestive system-- disturbed because of the way they are forced to hurriedly gulp down food in order to satisfy their hunger in the time allotted for meals. administration and critics of students' mealtime behavior seem to be striving toward the attainment of a gracious, homelike atmosphere in the College dining hall. If this la the end in vi< w, then why aren't students allowed time to eat meals in a civilized way. with time for normal conversation, instead of having to rapidly thove in the mouthfuls before the waitresnatch the verj plates from under them'.' Seldom does a meal in the College dining hall occupy over twentj minutes. It doesn't take a great stretch of the imagination to see that this practice can easily damage both the digestive and nervous systems. Nor are all of th.se twenty minutes gpent in eating alone. Because waitresses eat at the same time as the resl of the student body, students must interrupt their meals to go to the kitchen for second helpings of food, often to receive a refusal at the kitchen door. The argument that second helpings should not be necessary can he countered by the fact that the dishes placed at each table in the College dining hall will nol adequately serve the ten people at each table.
First, why couldn't the' bell be rung ten minutes before the hour for lunch and dinner? Ai present the bell is rung at 12:8: ami at 6:00 p. m., with ten minutes allowed before the meal begins for students to reach the dining hall and scat themselves, [f the bell were rung at 12:20 and 5:50 p. m., and the doors closed on the hour, ten minutes would be added to mealtime, am! no time would be stolen from classes or other more important activities, Tll(, s,r)llu| guggestion Is that waitrea, Sl s (..lt ,,,,>,,,,. |,t.r„lv or .„-u.,. the rest of flll, Ml|(|,.„t body, go that they will have s (|(.t.(.nt ,im.. ,0 ,..„ th(.jr mea]s and t0 func. tion as waitresses. Under the present procedure, they scarcely have time after serving the beverages to eat a few bites before the trucks are wheeled from the kitchen. and they must begin clearing tables. Of course, there will always be some students who will complain about having to stay in the dining hall too long. It could be arranged so that these quick eaters could leave the dining hall when they are ready. yet those who require a more reasonable length of time to eat be allowed to finish their meals.
