out set-up nre also Included in the
tcntatU e plans 1'he first deals with
the actual meal. Two vegetables
drink dessert and a choice of one
of three meats would be served.
For any additional food extra cost
would be charged.
The second plan deals with the
cobperativc plan followed by Abi-
lene schools Hardin-Slmmons and
Abilene Christian. Students would
be asked to scrape and stack their
individual dishes following each
meal.
Concerning the latter Mr. Bush
gave the following explanation.
"It's not that we want the student
doing something for nothing. It is
to the student's advantage for this
system to work. Student help is
employed for this task now. That
means money spent. Whereas if
students would just take sixty sec-
onds to stack their dishes on a
provided counter the money saved
could be used for actual food
products."
Since the dining hall is a non-
profit institution it becomes a
cooperative he explained. "None
of the plans can become reality
without coflperatlon" and he refim-
phasized "cooperation for a success-
ful dining hall."
