Page 4 — LION’'SEYE — May 1, 1994 Food Service Contract Still Out On Bid By Bob Lewis Remember the Food Service Committee? At their March 31 meeting they learned the cafeteria and food service contract is still out on bid. Twelve vendors have been invited to submit proposals.However, four of these vendors have declined, noting that the volume of students on our campus would render it non profitable for them to participate. The remaining eight vendors are still assessing the campus market. Lynn Tenaglio suggested a food plan be initiated on campus, enabling students to purchase food at competitive prices to off campus establishments. The food tickets could be purchased on a monthly basis and coincide with daily “specials” offered by the new vendor. Lynn also suggested that a healthier diet be offered to those students that want to or need to control their dietary intake. A health fooda bar or station in the cafeteria would accomplish this. Another suggestion was to include more fruits in the vending machines, as well as low sugar or sugar free items. The Commitee also would like to see the new vendor become more involved in Penn State Delco school spirit, maybe aiming some of their promotional activities towards that end. For example, they might offer Penn State hats beach towels,or t- shirts. Everyone felt that the new vendor should pursue a more vigorous approach, to catering campus clubs events. : / Campus members who have new ; ideas or suggestions, should contact Nancy Trainor, Administration, Bob Lewis, The Lion's Eye, or Lynn Tenaglio, through the SGA. - Honors Convocation Held By Jane Resides Many proud parents, family members, and friends gathered at the Library on April 13 to witness the 1994 Honors Convocation.

This is the first year of what is hoped will be a long standing student exchange program with Thames Valley University in West London. “I think it would be a really good experience for any student,” enthused Dr. John Tierney, Director of the program. “I personally have done it and you can learn about a culture by experiencing it. You can also learn a lot by observing life, down to watching T.V. and eating with them.” The cost of the program is the same as Penn State Delaware County PNC FINANCIAL CORP ENDOWED DELAWARE COUNTY CAMPUS SCHOLARSHIP Jaime Wentworth, James Foltz, Rachel Davidson JANE H.

Photo by: WES TOMLINSON Delco Lion's Den Doomed By Phillip Hoertz What's happening to the Lion's Den? This question has been roaming the campus lately. Several rumors have been floating around saying the Lion’s Den will become the next Penn State Delco book store, and the current book store will become a student lounge or some sort of space available for clubs and activities. Well, it's time to set the record straight. The Lion’s Den will not become the next book store because the current book store has no plans what-so-ever to move. The Lion's Den building has been leased by Penn State Delco for two years with the contract expiring in August ‘94. The major decision the Delco administration is facing is whether to renew the contract. As of right now, the Lion’s Den is used as a base for clubs and activities, such as the S.G.A and the Lion's Eye. Originally the den contained a pool table, video games, and a lounge for student use, but the pool table has been removed because students did not take proper care of it. The same scenario happened last year with a ping pong table. Not only was the pool table mistreated, it was rarely used by students. Apparently very few students know about the Lion's Den, and the few that do know about it complain of its location on campus. Administrators are seriously considering not renewing the contract and having the Lion’s Den taken away. | If that happens, the clubs and activities that use the Lion’s Den will be given a temporary place to work until the new building between the library and the main building is built. Anyone with questions about the Lion’s Den, should see Mr. Coleman in room 106 Main. Register For Summer Now! By Martyna Sliwinska Once again, the campus registrar's office is doing its best to keep students informed about all the registration requirements and procedures. There are two summer sessions for which the registration is in process. The first session runs from May 16 to June 24, the second from June 27 to August 5. Also it is extremely important for students to understand the transfer process. Normally, students enrolled in a four-year program, are expected to go up to University Park after their sophmore year. However, whether or not a student is a junior is determined by the number of earned credits, not by the number of semesters attended. To be considered a junior, you have to have anywhere from 44 to 59 earned credits. Once you are qualified, you are put on an automatic transfer list and notified by mail of your status. If you changed your major to one which requires you to go to University Park after your first year, make sure you file a change of major form and that you request assignment. As usual, make sure to complete your registraton properly. If you have any questions, contact Ms. Joyce Rigby in room 105 or. consult the "Policies And Rules" handbook available upon request. a change of
