-billing line experiment
disrupts cadets’ dinner
by Scott Griffin
Battalion Reporter
■ Food service officials at Texas
l&M have been experimenting
Ith a different serving system
Ihai has caused a problem at the
forps of Cadets dining hall.
I The change in Duncan Di
aling Hall has been from a fami
ly-style serving line — one in
which one entree is served in
lass quantity — to a cafeteria
style, in which several meal
selections are offered.
I On one side of Duncan the
cjieteria-style line is being used,
while the regular family-style
system is used on the other.
Corps Commandant Col.
Donald Burton said the new'
serving lines have caused a time
problem because freshman
cadets have not been able to fin
ish their meals in the designated
30-minute time period.
He said the system may be
switched back to family-style.
“Right now we’re just examin
ing the pros and cons of the
cafeteria-style,” he said. “We
may get back to using the family-
style.”
Lloyd Smith, assistant dire
ctor of food services, said he
feels the only problem with the
new system is that it has changed
the cadets’ routine. The purpose
for the experiment is to find a
system that will eliminate some
of the waste of serving food
family-style.
Fie added that the experi
ment is also designed to give the
cadets a variety of food choices.
The key issue is to improve
service, Burton said. The cadets
continue to march in and sit
together. Other than the time
factor, Burton said he had re
ceived no major complaints.
