The food at UK may not compare to Mom's home cooking. but the Uni- versity Food Service program tries to cater to the needs of students — at a cost they can afford. according to Allen Rieman. food services di- rector. The food service department is re- sponsible for maintaining the nu- merous campus cafeterias and grills and providing a system of meal plans to satisfy the needs of stu- dents. Students living on campus can choose from four meal plans — 19. 15. 14 or 10 meals per week. at a cost per semester of $593. $511. $538 and $450.50. respectively. UK also provides a special one- meal-per-day plan for offcampus students. This plan. however. is not offered to oncampus students be cause the cost of the plans are based on the operating expenses of the res- idence hall food services. Rieman said. "if we offered the one-meal plan to residence halls. the cost (per meal) would have to be increased." he said. “They would end up paying almost as much as they pay now. They would end up saving (only) about $100." The 10—meal plan is the most popu- lar choice among students and amounts to a student cost of about $2.75 per meal. Rieman said. For 19 meals per week. the student pays about $1.94 per meal. The difference in the 10-meal and 15-meal plan is $60.50 per semester. “but you're getting two-thirds as many meals,“ he said. Although students can eat as much as they want in the residence hall cafeterias. the food service sets dollar values on each meal to allow students a cash option at the grills. Rieman said the food service de— partment tried to set a cash alloca— tion so a student could get an aver- age breakfast. lunch and dinner. "If they want a cash option. they can eat." he said. “but (the cash allot- ment) is not to support the cash units." The meal plan system at UK is based on averages. and as everyone knows there is no average person. Riemansaid. “The mealcard system is an ad- vantage to someone who eats regu- larly. who uses up all the meal card punches.“ said Mark Denomme. food service manager for the Stu» dent Center Cafeteria and Equinox. “because the amount charged is well below the normal retail value of what lunch would be. “The value is there." “For someone who eats. value." As students who live on campus must know by now. participation in one of UK's meal plans is mandato- rv. What most students do not realize. however. is why. The mandatory meal program is not a way of assuring parents that their children are getting well-bal- anced. nutritious meals during their college stay. Although this requirement does allow students the opportunity to eat properly. the real reason involves bonds. buildings and money. According to Rieman. students housed on campus are required to have meal plans because of the way bond issues were devised for the construction of residence halls. “As a way to make sure the dorms paid for."hesaid. Rieman said UK's Food Service program is “a break-even operation. Basically. we're completely self-sup- portive.“ He said the department‘s only rev- enue was generated by students' he said. it is a See FOOD. pace 6 STEVIE cans/Km Graphics i .......7 Towering Tannenbaum Dean Haney. superintendent of the Physical Plant Division, decorates a 32-foot tree in front of the UK Medical Center yesterday.

The board decided to re-examine the display case policy after the Na tional Organization for Women chal‘ lenged SAB's request to remove a political poster from the NOW dis- play.
