ut of the
Spotlight ...

(continued from page 7)
seems a bit trivial after
September 11.

Under the contract, outside
food is not allowed on cam-
pus. Terry says there is
some room for flexibility, but
because the university takes
its cut first, Chartwell makes
comparatively little profit on
each item and depends on
volume. The university has
also had a policy on bake
sales, which have been regu-
lated, then banned, then
unbanned. The current poli-
cy? Terry doesn’t know. The
VP of Finance left, and her
secretary has moved to
another department, so the
policy is in limbo. Terry says
he tries to be helpful to stu-
dents, which is why PIRG’s
organic vegetable orders are
stored in the cafeteria cool-
ers, NUGSS is given a per-
centage of Backyard BBQ
sales, and Chartwell will be
donating coffee to Friday’s
Golden Key meeting.

The cafeteria tries to recy-
cle, and uses PIRG’s com-
posting program. They use
disposable plates and cutlery,
even though they aren't

cheaper than china, because
Chartwell now has to buy all
their cutlery and plates. The
disposables are “easier to
control’, Terry says, meaning
that theft is less of a problem.

Terry says the key to feed-
ing students is to give them
good value for their money.
Meals simply must be under
five dollars. Meal plans are
up 100% this year from last,
because they offer 17% off
everything except liquor.
Menus matter too, which is
why Terry tries to be visible to
students, although the
cashiers hear most of the
requests and complaints.

“Student feedback is why we

now have the breakfast
omelet and mango fruit juice.
Chartwell has guidelines for
menus, and the new chef
who started last May has
ideas of his own; too. Terry
plans some menu changes
for next January, and he also
plans to put out a menu book,
listing all the ingredients in
each dish. Terry would like to
see the menus available on
the web. He has already
posted the weekly menu at
the cafeteria door.

Student editor alleges he
was censored, ousted in
newspaper fiasco

(continued from page 6)
discontent with college offi-
cials. He also indicated he
would vacate his post at the
Satellite.

"Since | can no longer per-
form my duties as a journalist
or as a public servant of you,
the students, | am walking
away from my position of
Managing Editor here,"
Fisher wrote.

Two days after the newspa-
per was published, Fehrman
and Nour told Fisher that his
resignation had been accept-
ed and that he had one day
to remove his belongings
from the Satellite office and

turn in his key.

Fisher maintains, however,
that he never tendered a for-
mal resignation, although the
MSA has already hired a
replacement.

Megan Ross took over the
position of managing editor
this week. The paper is hop-
ing to publish an issue, its
first since Oct. 23, on Nov.
20. The MSA has put up
signs around campus inviting
students to look forward to
the first issue of the "new"
Satellite.
