The cafeteria has been downgraded from an "N' rating to a "B" in the past and as re cent as March 28 failed portions of the health inspection. Students traditionally complain about school cafeteria food, but grumblings about the Underground flared up even more when reports of food poisoning and little critters started corning in a week ago . .

If the situation is not corrected swiftly, the University should consider replacing the company that runs the Underground with one that can keep the place free of these un wanted lunchguests. In a letter to the editor last week, a student suggested j.i boycott of the underground for last TUesday, March 27. It seemed to be . business as usual though.
