BY ALISON MCCARTNEY Contributing Writer

Each year the college spends more than one student's tuition and room and board to replace items that disappear from the dining halls, costing the college between $20,000 and $40,000 annually. Gene Wescott, general manager of dining services, said this figure also takes into ac­ count items that are broken or thrown in the trash by mistake, but the vast majority of it is leaving the dining hall in backpacks abd coat pockets. When these costs add up, it can­ have a negative impact for students paying for the meal plan. . The biggest problem occurs when people are attempting to remove items of value,-such as china or flatwai:e, from the dining hall. Theft is typically lower in the spring term than in die fall, since most students tend to stock up at the beginning of the school year, · said Andy Cole, manager of th~ Campus Center Dining Hall. As finals approach, managers actually see a small portion of stolen property be­ ing anonymously returned, but items are still taken every day. It's hard to track exactly how much theft is going on jn th~ dining halls, but managers are wise to the fact that a good portion of the place settings in circulation is leaving the din- ing hall each semester. · "Glasses seem to be the things that walk out of here the most;" Cole said.
