The f amily-style service consists of a single selection of food placed on the table by waiters, and the cost of providing this service has risen steadiiv oxer the past years. Dollar sa\ s. In fiscal year 1983-84, the dining hall had a net loss of 8308,450 com pared to a net gain of $522,993 for Sbisa and $589,054 for the Com mons. The Corps pays (lie same hoard rate as Commons and Sbisa students. Dollar says, yet their serxice results in a monetary loss and the cadets re ceive far less meal satisfaction. The reasons for the higher cost in Duncan Dining Hall is the extra la bor costs required to serve family- style and the excessive food waste re sulting from the inability to provide food x ariety, he says. Under the new system, 2,200 ca dets can he fed in 10 minutes, says Mof fat Adams, project manager and chief architect. The fast food lines will be like those in Sbisa and Commons, Adams says, and the Corps xvill have their choice of such items as pizza, ham burgers and sandxviches. The plate- ready part of the project xvill give ca dets a choice of at least two menu items, which xvill already be on plates, to pick up from carts, Adams says. “The Corps is already experi menting xvith the plate-ready system at breakfast,” he says. “And we’re feeding about 1,350 cadets in eight minutes.” Adams says the construction on the new project should begin in De cember of 1986 when the cadets go home for Christmas. The estimated completion date is the following De cember. The options available for feeding the Corps during the construction remain flexible, Dollar says. A committee of cadets, staff and project managers met in June 1984 to discuss features that the new fa cility should include, Adams says. He says the Corps wants: • A greater variety of food. • To he settled as units at their designated tables. • Evening and morning forma tions. • Lunch hours from 10:15 a.m. until 2:15 p.m. to accommodate the cadets’ class schedules. • One large dining room instead of two. • To he able to serve banquet functions. • A better public address system. Adams says the new system xvill probably meet all of these needs ex cept perhaps the one large dining area because of the circulation space required for the plate-ready service.
