Cafeteria

Students, did you know that the Cafeteria was run by the Students' Association? It is, It is run by a subcommittee of the Executive; its finances are controlled by the treasurer of the Students' Association and it is your Students' Association subscription that is drawn on to make up a loss. A profit is shown in improvement of equipment or in reduction of meal prices.

What students are making the Cafeteria a student-run Cafeteria? The answer is—a few hoary, perennial old part-timers who struggle to find time between their jobs and their swot to keep the Caf. on its feet, and an additional few, faithful helpers on whom a great deal of work piles.

What are the difficulties the management of the Cafeteria has to cope with?

• 1. Almost impossible accommodation for dealing with food for large numbers. This unfortunately cannot be improved until we get a new student building.
• 2. Labour always.
• 3. Delivery of goods, e.g.. cakes cannot be delivered.
• 4. The usual difficulties connected with rationing and rise or prices.

This is how you can help:

• 1. Put your name down on the roster on the notice-board for helping at rush hours behind the counter in return for a free meal, and turn up at the time promlsed.
• 2. Clear your dishes off the lable on to the counter habitually.
• 3. Bring your meat coupons regularly.
• 4. Don't sit an unnecessarily long time when the staff want to clear up.
• 5. Make up your mind quickly what you want and have the right money or small money.

Here are important long-term ways in which you can improve the Caf.:

• 1. Make constructive suggestions and
• criticisms to the Committee. Do not grumble inarticulately.
• 2. Offer your services on the Cafeteria Committee, especially if you have any experience or such things.
• 3. Make the grumblers round the place be specific and pass on their criticisms so that we will know what is wrong and what the general Feeling is.

The Cafeteria Controller is Gwen Jolly.
