Fred Dollar, director of Food Serv^
ices at Texas A&M, said that many
helpful suggestions come from seri-
ous comments by students.
We are able to accommodate
most constructive suggestions from
students,” Dollar said.
According to Dollar, surveys are

generally conducted about three
times a year so students may express
their likes and dislikes.
Our objective is customer satis
faction with the student as the cus
tomer,” Dollar said.
The main advantage of the stu
dent surveys is to provide informa
tion for the Menu Board which
helps them make decisions based on
student opinion.
The Menu Board was started in
1968 and consists of students and
university staff members who work
with the Department of Food Serv
ice to improve the menu and dining
facilities offered to the board paying
students.
The Menu Board meets once a
month to review complaints, discuss
changes in the menu and offer their
suggestions on other improvements.

Since the fall semester the
Menu Board has already voted
on about 150 issues concerning
menu changes and decisions re
lated to food service.
Board has already voted on about
150 issues concerning menu
changes and decisions related to
food service.
In 1971, the Menu Board con
tributed to the renovation of Sbisa
dining hall by voting on the specific
fast food items to be served and
other physical features such as signs
and color design.
Members of the board are ap
pointed by the student body presi
dent to serve each semester and
minutes of each meeting are printed
and available in the dining halls.
Students who wish to express an
opinion or offer suggestions, may
obtain a survey near the entrance or
exit of the dining halls or contact the
Menu Board representatives at their
dining hall.

A group of hookers are coming to
Texas A&M University tonight to
hare the stage with bankers and
lusinessmen in “Three Penny Op-
■ra,” produced by the Aggie
’layers.
Director Lawrence Leach said
at despite minor illnesses and last
ninute touch-ups, the Bertolt
Irecht take-off on John Gay’s 1728
Beggar’s Opera, ” will open with an
iptimistic start.
Goings-on
of House
televised
United Press International
WASHINGTON — It cost $1.2
nillion to install sophisticated color
Revision equipment and another
278,000 a year for salaries of the 12
echnicians needed to operate it.
But the result will be gavel-to-
jvel color television coverage of
he House of Representatives.
It began Monday — but for the
rst month will be only for the 435
lembers themselves. They’ll have
?ecial receivers in their offices so
ley won’t have to go the the floor to
eep track of what’s happening in
le chamber.
By March 5, full House coverage
ill be transmitted via satellite to
ible television companies around
ie United States, with a potential
f reaching millions of American
ouseholds. Regular news media
Iso will be able to pick up as much
overage as desired.
The idea is not universally popu-
ir. Republicans fear majority Dem-
crats will get a political advantage.
Hhers worry the cameras will focus
n members sleeping, reading
ewspapers (against the rules), or in
olitical huddles — or will show a
early empty chamber.
The play concerns the beggar s
union run by J. J. Peachum, father
of Miss Polly Peachum.
Why Miss Polly Peachum is in
volved with Mack the Knife, who is
involved with the gang which is in
volved with the hookers, you’ll have
to find out for yourself.
“Three Penny Opera” will run to
night through Saturday night in
Rudder Theater. Show-time is 8
p.m. It is not an opera, but a musi
cal, with students filling all of the
parts and music supplied by volun
teers.
Leach said the play was written in
1920 to expose political flaws of the
existing government in Germany,
however he said Brecht’s talent for
producing humorous lines overpo
wered the ability of the play to de
liver the social messages.
In “Three Penny Opera,” the
crooks play the businessmen roles,
showing what little difference exists
in the two professions in society.
Kurt Weill’s haunting music will
add to the play’s dark humor and
sarcasm exposing hypocrises of soci
ety.
“Three Penny Opera” ran for six
years beginning in 1955 in the New
York Greenwich Village Theater.
Employers
look at grades
— sometimes
United Press International
BARTLESVILLE, Okla. — Fifty
recruiters from Phillips Petroleum
visited 70 colleges and universities
in 1978 to interview 3,000 engineers
and scientists. Less than 13 percent
— 385 — were hired, said Dwight
Boesiger, one of the interviewers.
What makes a good prospective
employee?
“I look for grades first,” said the
research and development engi
neer. “Then I look for people with
enthusiasm and interest in the job.
Sometimes we’ll pick them over
others with better grades.”
Try something like: Tired of the
same old stuff. Try country
dancing at a new place. See new
faces. Everyone Welcome.
