Glover. Many regular customers of American Heritage Cafeteria have begun eating at Pattie Cobb Cafeteria this semester, something that the Student Association had hoped would happen. About 660 to 675 students now eat at Pattie Cobb, compared with 475 last spring. S.A. food committee chairman Steve Rubel said that 30-40 students switched last Monday alone. The S .A. had been concerned about the relatively low number of students eating at Pattie Cobb. A goal of 700 was set for Pattie Cobb , leaving about 1200 at American Heritage compared with 1425 last spring. Pattie Cobb's limited capacity keeps more students from switching. Vice president for finance Lott Tucker said such improvements in Pattie Cobb as the introduction of the sandwich bar line and this summer's renovation of the facilities were part of an intentional effort to attract more students back to Pattie Cobb. Rubel said most students who switched are just wanting "a different taste." 'They're tired of Heritage and are going to get something new," he said. He also said lower costs (about $63 a semester cheaper) and such intangible factors as a more homey atmosphere have also had a part to play. Most students who made the switch during the past year cited three factors as reasons for changing. Most said they were dissatisfied with the service at American Heritage, particularly the long lines which can cause one to wait more than 20 minutes to be served at times. Junior Dewayne Turner, who switched to Pattie Cobb this semester, said he thought the serving arrangement resembled an automated line. Concerning Pattie Cobb, he said, "You can take your time to walk through the line and select what you want, and when you leave the line, you're not stressed as to who to sit with." Two other students said they had 25-minute lunch breaks that could be better accommodated by Pattie Cobb. Some surveyed said they liked the cafeteria's meal ticket plan, in which deductions are made for items purchased and second helpings of nearly all items are allowed.
