Effort to Cut Costs
Needs Cooperation
By SARALEE ORTON
Second of a Series
A campaign to reduce costs and increase efficiency in
the dining halls in underway, but the success of the operation
depends on student cooperation, Robert C. Proffitt, director
of Food Service, said.
“All additional costs incurred by waste must come out
of the students’ food dollar,” Proffitt said, “and students
could do many things to help
maximize efficiency at mealtime ”
One of the best things students
could do to help reduce costs
would be to adjust their eating
times to the times when fewer
students are eating in the dining
halls. Proffitt said.
"Between 7:30 and 7:45 in the
morning only about 20 students
come through the lines," he
said, "when we can accommo
date 150." More students eat
ing at this time would reduce
the, size of the lines, he ex
plained.
Proffitt said that at times when
few students are using the cafe
teria lines, -the kitchen staff is
not able to utilize its time effi
ciently. Long lines at the end of;
the meal periods keep the cafe-:
terias open for 'as much as 15 j
minutes after the regular time;
and the cost of this additional la-!
bor must be paid [or, ho said. |
Damage done to the furniture |
in the dining halts is another cost;
which adds dollars to ihe cost of
the Food Service operation, Prof-,
fitt said.. 1
Proffitt said that the practice
of fak-ng china and silverware j
from the dining halls has been 1
much more of a problem in the i
past than it is now, hut it still j
persists somewhat. The -hina
ware is specially designed and
is, expensive to replace, he said.
Ashtrays taken from the dining
halls present more of an incon-i
venienee than a loss, Proffitt said
and explained that when no ash-:
trays are available, students stub
cigarettes out on the chinawarc
and on the floor.
The employees’ mfeterias in
Rodifer, Simmons, Waring, War-:
nock and McEhvain have been
eliminated in the interests of non
s'ervinc costs. Proffitt said. (Pol
lock Circle and the Turf Plots are
designed without these cafete
rias.! ‘‘These separate dining 1
rooms are very desirable.” Prof-1
fitt added, “but we just can’t af- j
ford it.” I
He also said that he had had;
his interoffice communication;
system disconnected in the-Foodsi
Service building in order to save
$7OO yearly.
