On wednesday night, »Septenber 23, a collection of 100 or more students gathered in the UPEI cafeteria — and they weren't there to catch the daily special. It ,was the first food committee meeting of this school year and it was - proclained as an~"open 'neeting". Jim Griffith, 'Director of Student Services, stated that in the 14 years he had been _ at the University, he had ‘never seen half that nunber show up for a neeting. Also present were Mark Ouellette, regional representative from Saga Foods; Andy

pyDean, Unit Manager; Dave

McCloud, head chef; and - Reuben Cross, Chairnan ’ > of the Food committee. The entire fleeting lasted 1 1/2 hours, although j1:probably5 could have gone on much longer. Many topics were discussed and I \ have organized all that was said at the meeting . into 17 main questions that were posed by the students and the replies that were given by administration: 1) The prices in the cafeteria aren't high compared to restaurant prices, but they are high for the amount we have to- spend. The suggested increase in prices, due to rising inflation, was supposed to be 16-20 % this year. On the average prices went up only 6—7%. 2) A lot of people have 8:30 classes and the cafeteria doeSn't open until 8:00. People have come and said that they have to be out early to teach or to make classes and I've let them in the back door and fed_ them in the kitchen. It's not worth it for NE to pay a staff for the extra half hour for only a few people. The field hockey ‘team needed food late and

Blood Flowed '

Last Thursday, the annual Red Cross Blood Donor Clinic was held. Our quota was 150 units, but only 131 units were collected, not counting the 23 rejected“ These 23 were prospective donors who could not give blood due to having colds, certain diseases, not weighing enough, etc. The Freshnen won the interclass competition, and will thus receive $50. from the Stu- dent Union. The class breakdown is as follows:

Although Holland College beat us (152 units), this year's clinic was a fairly good turnout considering the circumstances. Many people expressed interest in donating blood, but jUst could not make it within the tine scheduled. let's turn these good in— tentions into something more concrete for the second senester's Blood Donor Clinic!
