Advisors: Jeff Bell, Cy Wainscott 1996-9- 7 Advisors of the Year Meal plan raises questions In last week's issue of the Kenyon Collegian, we wrote an article about the Food Service Subcommittee, which is in the initial stages of investigating the benefits ofa meal plan option. Though only in the preliminary stages, many questions need to be considered before any major changes are made to a service that effects everyone living on campus. Like many other issues, this one is complex, and there appears to be no clear answer at the moment. With a meal plan, skipping a meal would not mean wasted student money. A meal plan could allow the college to purchase a wider variety of foods that would better meet the individual tastes and desires of those subscribing to the plan. Are requirements really necessary? On the other hand, the cafeterias could become chaotic. uitous academic brick walls, If a meal plan were to be implemented, someone would have to By Molly Willow Kenyon only insists we spend one check students IDs or meal cards, which would mean only one Staff Columnist year repeatedly banging our heads Requirements are entrance at each cafeteria would be open.
