Senate Speaker Jeff Zilch said of the 1,000 students that filled out the surveys, about 100 students registered to vote in Coles County. “We hoped to get feedback on what students liked and what they wanted changed as well as get their suggestions on how we can better do our job,” Zilch said. Senate member Jennifer Daulby said Student Government should have the results of the surveys by next week. She said that the survey will take longer to look at because of the short answer format used. “We wanted to hear exactly what the students want,” Daulby said.

The Board of Trustees Monday approved a measure to allow its executive committee to decide whether to approve the faculty contract. Terry Weidner, vice president for academic affairs, said faculty members presented the proposed contract to the BOT members and the only changes made were grammatical errors. “The principles of the contract are all right, but some grammatical errors need to be corrected,” he said. Laurent Gosselin, president of the University Professionals of Illinois, said what the faculty presented to the BOT is a strong, rationally developed agreement. The UPI represents the faculty in contract negotiations. “This agreement is designed to benefit the university and its employees,” he said. Weidner said the faculty UPI members and the admin- istration expect to vote on the contract in October. “If they approve the contract, then they will ask the (execu- tive) board to approve it,” he said. Jill Nilsen, special assistant to Eastern President David Jorns, said, “BOT members empowered the executive board to decide whether to approve the contract since the BOT won’t meet until Nov. 4.” The executive committee consists of BOT chairman Mack Hollowell and trustees Susan Gilpin and Tom MIKE RICE/Staff photograper Johnson. “The next regularly scheduled BOT meeting isn’t I do until November, but since the union is voting on the con- Carla Campell, 20, a senior psychology major, accepts a marriage proposal from DeMetrius Williams, 21, a senior account- tract in October, the (executive board) will decide ing major, Wednesday night in the basement of Pemberton Hall in front of their family members.

A major problem with Eastern's in-line skating policy is I told a Campus Police officer that I wasn't aware of this that it was never introduced.

One suggested solution would be that the sen- ate, or at least some senate members, attends AB’s meetings and vice versa. If the other group was in the audience, this would prevent confusion as to what the other group is doing. Also, if members from each group go to the meetings, they can ask intelligent questions and help the budgeting pro- cess run quicker and smoother. Last spring a major conflict occurred between AB and the senate concerning the Graduate Student Advisory Council. The senate wanted to set aside $1,000 in its budget for the group to pub- lish a semesterly publication. However, the AB did not think the senate should fund the publica- tions because they were directed for just graduate students and not the entire student body.

By JEANINE FOLLERT ometimes a break from the daily rou- tine proves to be beneficial, especially S for the college student looking for dif- ferent alternatives to eating and entertain- ment. The Rathskeller is one alternative, offering a wide variety of foods and enter- tainment to please almost everyone.

Staff writer We all know the place. It’s in the Union, and we’ve all seen the black and red sign pointing us toward what’s best described as “the basement.” But how many of us have ventured down to check the place out? It doesn’t have the look of your high school cafeteria. The atmo- sphere is relaxing, and for those who don’t really want to go there to eat, there are other options. Adjacent to the restaurant is the Loft, which is a typical place to hang out and relax. There are televisions and sofas to sprawl out on, in case you need a break. But if you’re looking for food, the menu is quite impressive, and maybe not the type of food you would expect to see. The restaurant offers daily 99 cent specials, such as sloppy Joe sandwiches, the Rathskeller burger or a pork tenderloin. Every day from 11 a.m. until 1:30 p.m., there are $3.99 specials, which include an entree and your choice of soup or a small salad, potato, vegetable and a drink. Some of the entrees include Salisbury steak, vetegarian lasagna and chicken parmesan. There are also $2.99 daily specials and after 4 p.m. $3.99 dinner specials. For a weekend alternative, there is a Sunday brunch from 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. The brunch includes rotating entrees, breakfast bar, soup and salad bar, dessert table and your choice of beverage. The cost is $8.50 for adults, $6.50 for students with an I.D. and seniors over 60, and $4 for children ages six to 10. There is no charge for children five and under. In 1985, the University Board (UB) wanted to provide entertain- ment programming for students and came up with the idea of incor- porating entertainment with the Rathskeller. “We wanted to create a bar-like atmosphere which evolved into (what was then called) the Subway,” said Ceci Brinker, assistant director of student life. Since then, the UB has expanded its programming in the Rathskeller. “We have always done comedy programming,” Brinker said, “and we expanded to include bands and special events during the 1994-95 school year.” Funding for these programs is handled through various UB commit- tees, Brinker said. Student special event fees are used to fund the pro- grams. “The money goes to the board and then is given to various com- mittees,” Brinker said. “UB Comedy, UB Concerts and UB Special Events decide the par- ticular venues featured in the Rathskeller,” she said. So, when the time comes for you to take a break, but you’re not The Rathskeller, home of good food and economical entertainment. Comedy, music and sure what to do, it’s worth checking out the Rathskeller. Good food, bingo are among the different programs offered. reasonable prices and interesting entertainment can be a favorable option for any college student. The Ethnic

China 88, at 1140 Lincoln Ave., serves Chinese food from 11 a.m. until 9 p.m. weekdays and 11 a.m. until 10 p.m. on weekends, said Danny Chiu, manager of the restaurant. Prices range from $1.10 for an egg roll to $9.50 for a more expen- sive meal. Hong Kong House also offers a variety of Chinese meals. The restaurant is open from 11 a.m. until 9 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday, 11 a.m. until 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 4 p.m. until 9 p.m. on Monday, said Sandra Gao, owner of the restaurant. Hong Kong House, at 1505 18th St., offers $3.10 lunch specials from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and $4.65 combination meals all day long. Pagliai’s Pizza, at 1600 Lincoln Ave., peddles pasta and pizza from 4 p.m. until 1 a.m. through the week and from 4 p.m. until 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday, said owner Paul Pagliai. A fixture in Charleston since 1964, Pagliai’s prices range from $1.99 for the Wednesday night spaghetti special to $13.95 for a large special pizza, said Pagliai. La Bamba, at 1415 4th St., offers authentic Mexican cuisine (including “burritos as big as your head”). La Bamba is open every day from 11 a.m. until 3 a.m., according to Ray Critser, who works at the restaurant. He said prices range from $3.50 to $5.50.

We’ve Got What You Like At Ike’s! “Kristy’s has cool tunes, cheap prices and good food,” said Sue Palchak, another Kristy’s waitress. “What else could you want?” Just down the block from Kristy’s is Roc’s Blackfront. Roc’s Blackfront used to be called only Roc’s under owner Dave Isable. New owner Mike Knoop wanted the bar to have a more 40’s atmosphere and is darkly lit with gambling paraphernalia about the walls and ceiling.

Last on the list, but certainly not in quality, is What’s Cookin’, 409 7th Street, which has an extensive menu offering breakfast, lunch and dinner. The restaurant, which does not have a bar, is open at 6 a.m. on weekdays, 7 a.m. on weekends and closes at 9 p.m. every night except for Sunday when they close at 2 p.m. The lunch and dinner lineup includes: appetizers, salads, fajitas, sandwiches, Mexican food (including quesadillas), soups, dinners (chicken, gyros, shrimp and fish), sides and extras, desserts and specialties. “Breakfast is the most popular item at What’s Cookin’, especially for the college students,” Dan Basham, waiter, said. Basham speaks the truth. Breakfast is served until 11:30 a.m. on Saturday and until 2 p.m. on Sunday. The popular list includes bis- cuits and gravy, breakfast sandwiches, strawberry bread, side orders, pancakes and French toast, omelettes, eggs, huevos rancheros and children’s orders. Whew! The restaurants on the square, which are in walking dis- tance from campus, offer reasonable prices and a wide variety foods. So get going and enjoy.

e had just driven up Lincoln Ave., but it felt as if we’d somehow ended up in 1957. The root beer was cold, the hot dogs were, well...hot, and the fries were crispy. There’s nothing like a trip to W Dog-N-Suds to bring back memories of a time we knew nothing of, except what we learned from “Happy Days.” As soon as you pull up, it’s obvious that this isn’t the usual drive-through cuisine. Park near the menu, and squint while the flourescent light reflects off of the glass. Press the speaker button, and order up whatever sounds good at the moment. Just make sure you don’t leave without having a root beer float. You might want to turn into WHQQ-FM 92.1 for a good soundtrack to your trip down memory lane. Somehow, Buddy Holly accompanies a Coney Dog just right. Floats and soft drinks are served in authentic frosted mugs, which are brought out to the car by your server. (All they were missing was roller skates, but you can’t have everything.) A regular root beer float will cost you $1.10, and a regular root beer (sans vanilla ice cream) will set you back 75 cents. Cheeseburger and hot dog baskets are served in those nifty red plastic trays lined with wax paper, and only cost between $1.95 and $2.35. Baskets are served with cole slaw and french fries. “I come here for the root beer and the onion rings,” said Tracy Phelps, senior theater arts major. “But everything’s good.” And most things are within a student’s budget as well. A corn dog is on the menu for $1, large onion rings are $2 and a foot-long hot dog basket is $2.95. But whatever you do, don’t try to keep the frosty mugs. As the sign clearly states, such action is con- sidered retail theft and they will prosecute. Besides, you want them to have a mug for you next time, don’t you? This place gets an enthusiastic thumbs-up from customers.
