Local THE BATTALION Page' WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1981 p S J | ^ m si Women's dorm resumes use of kitchenettes By SHELLEY EMSHOFF Battalion Reporter The residents of Mosher Hall have resumed use of Texas A&M University’s only residence hall kitchenettes, which were installed last April. The kitchenettes are monitored by members of the residence hall council. Since the council is not active during the summer ses sions, the facilities were closed. Each kitchenette — a con verted study carrel or drafting room — is equipped with a micro- wave oven, toaster oven, cook book, cleaning supplies and a fire extinguisher, and is by a laundry room to provide easy access to water. The kitchenettes were financed through Mosher’s Coke fund. Coke funds are portions of vend ing machine profits generated by each residence hall, and since Mosher is the largest dorm on campus, with 674 students, its coke fund is large. “The kitchenettes began on a trial basis,” said Mosher Hall President Kelly Simmons. “If it (the project) doesn’t work with us, no other dorm will be able to have them.” The idea was voted on by dorm residents last fall and approved by Dr. John Koldus, vice president for student services. The Mosher Hall Council Kitchenette Task Force, comprised of hall council members, checks the facilities weekly. Simmons said the project worked well last spring with no major problems. Kitchenettes are available Mon day through Friday between 7 p.m. and 11 p.m., and between 2 p.m. and 11 p.m. on weekends. Simmons said that because the kitchenettes are an experimental project, the dorm council enforces strict rules. Several 30-minute training sessions are held explain ing the operating and safety proce dures for those who want to use the kitchenettes. The sessions are given by hall council officers. They explain the proper use of the equipment, and the type of food that can be cooked. The purpose of the kitch enette is for heating only, Sim mons explained. In order to use the facilities, a resident must attend one training session to obtain a user card. To get the key to the kitchenette, sh must present her user card, rooi key and I.D. at the Commor front desk and sign in on a mastt list. If the room is not clean whe the resident arrives, she can n turn the key to the front desk an the previous user will be coi tacted and asked to clean it. Fa lure to respond to this request is judicial board offense. Each resident is allowed 30 m nutes in the kitchenette and mu return the key before her I.D. returned. Mosher residents ai the only students allowed to us the kitchenettes. Id that we need alistic.” ked to sum u id, "It’s always lember, there! ■ a lesser and a. -e.
