September 27, 1993 — LION'S EYE — Page 3 Student Government Members Plan to Better Campus By John Bishop The Student Government Association (S.G.A.) is a student organization which provides all Penn State Delaware County students with the opportunity to participate in campus activities and events. Most importantly, however, the S.G.A. also encourages students to be an important part of the decisions made regarding the privileges, rights and responsibilities of students. The President of the Student Government is Amy McCarthy, the Vice President is Jodi DelRosi and the Secretary is John Bishop. Although currently the S.G.A. does not have a Treasurer, the position will be opened shortly to all students who wish to apply. Since I was elected Secretary, I have been asked a variety of questions, ranging from “What do you plan to do as Secretary of the S.G.A. this semester?” to “Do you guys have free food at your meetings?” During this semester, and through the year, all three officers of the Student Government are dedicated to listening to what the students have to say and to paying attention to their opinions and Campus Rover concerns. Amy McCarthy says that her goal is to let students know that they can make a difference on campus . “Student Government deals with student issues and concerns. I want more people to be a part of it and to know that they can make a change. My goal is to get more students involved.” . When asked why she became interested in becoming Vice President of S.G.A., Jodi DelRossi said, “I want to get everyone involved and to do as many activities as possible. I want to get everyone excited about Penn State. Basically, I hate that last year we didn’t have very many activities and people complained. As Vice President I want to get as many activities on campus as I can. The students make or break the activities we have, and we need their help to make this a fun year for everyone.” The office of the Student Government Association and the offices of the various clubs on campus are located in the Lions Den,at the far end of the main parking lot. Anyone with questions should feel free to contact the offices at anytime during school hours. They are looking forward to meeting as many students as they can. New Cafeteria Staff Continues Stellar Service to Hungry Students By Greg Reichard Not much has changed about our cafeteria in the last few years. The food served has been the same, the arrangements are all unchanged, even the decorations on the wall are the same. But there is one change- a new staff. This changing of the guard is headed by Bernice Pinkowicz and Louise Kwiatkoski, both of whom reside in Aston. During the morning breakfast is served until 10:30 AM. Different foods such as pancakes, french toast, or eggs are served. Also, doughnuts, danish, and a variety of juices are available if you're looking for a bite to eat on the fly. The afternoon is when business is at peak level. During common hour on campus, it is almost impossible to find a seat in the cafeteria. Students come strolling in looking for something to satisfy their hunger, like chicken sandwiches, cheese steaks with French Fries, or just a cup of soup. By Mary Louise Keuatksky. other people. The New Cafeteria Staff: (I. to r.) Bernice Pinkowicz, Don Brault, and observation it appears that most patrons stick to ordering sandwiches of different variety. Some buy French Fries, but almost all buy Mozzarrella Stick, when they are available. When food availability is closed up at 4:00 PM, the remaining students, who are left hanging around doing whatever, have to resort to the vending machines to satisfy their hunger. The machines include a soda machine, candy and munchie machine, coffee machine, and a hot and cold food machine. Also, there is a microwave oven to heat things either bought or other food obtained from an outside source. : Overall, the cafeteria can be of many resources to students. It can serve as a place to study, while you grab a bite to eat, or it could be a place to just hang out with friends and talk to other people. Either way it can be a very resourceful place for a student to get a decent meal or just be lazy with Photo by: Wes Tomlinson Secretary; Lonnie Golden, Advisor; Jody DelRossi, Vice-President; Melissa McConnell, Advisor; Amy McCarthy, President.
