After the focus group complained that they had to wait in the main servery area even if they only wanted salad, HUDS has decided to make silverware and dishes available at the salad bar by transferring an extra silverware and tray holder from Annenberg to the Quincy dining hall.
Responding to the focus group's concerns that the pasta is in the main servery while the pasta sauce is in the dining area, HUDS immediately purchased two soup crocks for the pasta that will be placed near the soup and pasta sauces.
At the focus group, Sha complained about the fruit selection.
"You can only eat so many apples, oranges and bananas," he says. "Pears, melons, grapes would be nice and maybe some citrus fruits, too."
Yesterday in Quincy, a basket of kiwis was placed next to the more run-of-the-mill fruits. Several students also noted the newly labelled salad dressing containers and new varieties of lettuce.
"People are already talking about it at the dinner table," Nikonchuk says. "They're happy. How can you not be happy with romaine lettuce. How can you not be happy with good lettuce?"
Smith says he believes that news about the improvements will spread around the House soon.
