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.
