Meal plan bill awaits approval
By ELISA NEWSOME
Hurricane Staff Writer
The fate of an Undergraduate Student Body Government hill to revise the residential college meal plan will be decided by the administration within weeks, according to Dr. William Butler, vice president for student affairs.
The bill proposes that the University institute meal plans of eight and 10 meals a week for students living in residential colleges.
The current meal plan policy offers a choice between 20 meals a week for $890 each semester and 14 meals a week for $828 each semester	»
Butler said the administration will decide during the next two or three weeks if the bill will be implemented in the fall of 1987. In the meantime, Butler is in the process of negotiating next year's budget with University Dining Services.
Eric Nelson, student ombudsman
and one of the four authors of the senate bill, said he became dissatisfied with the meal plan system when the optional 20- and 14-meal plans were made mandatory two years ago.
"Students were being forced to eat 14 meals a week.” Nelson said
When Nelson polled about 300 residential students in March 1986, he said he discovered that students ate only 60 percent of their purchased meals. Three of the students polled said they were
leaving the residential college system because of the meal plan policy.
Joe Maccarone. a freshman who is on the 20-meal plan, said that his schedule does not permit him to eat all the meals he pays for
Maccarone does not eat dinner on Mondays and Wednesdays because he has class from 2 to 9 p in On Tuesdays and Thursdays, he is in class from 9 a m. to 3 p.m. so he cannot eat lunch.
He said that paying for food not
eaten is a ''bummer "
George Shoffner, director of tin department of residence halls. Is recommending that the bill be implemented.
Law student Haul Becaro also supports the bill.
"I would definitely buy a 10-meal plan," Pecaro said This semester, he switched from a 20-meal plan to a 14-meal plan because he did not eat all the meals. Pecaro said During the fall 1984 and spring
1985 semesters, the residential colleges offered eight- and lO-meal plans, according to Mike Rosen, co-author of the hill and Arts and Science senator, lie said that the meal plans were abolished to promote a spirit of community living
But Rosen pointed out that during the week, students eat at different tinier He said the Sunday community dinners, in which the residential faculty cats with students, have the community atmosphere

"Today, we are celebrating 20 years of UBS, which, in many ways, parallels the history of the University," Butler said

events.
