| Waste hinders food services
A decrease in the amount of food students waste in Sodexho would result in the availability of a wider variety of specialty and organic food in the cafeteria, a Sodexho manager said. Sodexho loses approximately $10,000 each year from waste alone, Jim O Brien, the general manager of Sodexho said. If waste was cut down, more money would be available for a lot of things, OBrien said. We could serve more specialty items that students request. Dan King, Sodexho manager, agrees with OBrien. We could take those savings and purchase better products, King said. Both said students would benefit in other ways as well. The Caf could be open on weekends, and there could be a fifth day of Late Night, OBrien said.
French club fricassee up a good time for Cajun celebration
The New Orleans Mardi Gras festival is often regarded as one of the greatest free shows on earth. Streets in New Orleans on this festive day are always filled with people throwing beads, eating the local cuisine, and simply enjoying the day. Trying to focus this nationally-known celebration into a more local perspective, Wests French Club held a Mardi Gras celebration of their own. This cultural experience was opened up to all students and staff members in the school.
I loved it! exclaimed sophomore Stephanie Begley.
Similar sentiments were apparent throughout the entire W-Wing on February 21 when the festival was held. Though not as grand as the New Orleans celebration, the French Club still put on quite a show.
In the French Club, we have many French-culture enthusiasts and talented cooks, said advisor and teacher Kate Robinson.
