New dining services offered at the Univer­sity
of Louisville this semester not only
brought more food choices for students, bur
also caused frustration as welL
Restaurants such as Uncle Chen's, Sub
Central and the Fresh Grill were replaced with
Wendy's, Baja Flats and Trattoria. In the
process, many students· have found the
service at several restaurants to be slow and
the food quality lower than that of the food
offered at the same restaurants in the
community.
"The restaurants at the bottom of the SAC
are too small in both size and staff," said
Stephen Ewing, junior biology major. "I was
upset to see Uncle Chen's Chinese Restaurant
was replaced with a Wendy's of very low
quality food."
Direcror of Dining Services at the
University of Louisville David Freeland
acknowledges there is a problem with long
lines and inefficient service at several of the
restaurants on campus. He believes, however,
many of the problems have already been
corrected. For example, at Subway, more
experienced employees were brought in and
employees now aim ro complete an order in
two minutes or less, Freeland said.
As for Wendy's, the problem occurred with
the software in the registers not being
equipped to process the use of Cardinal Cards.
The department of food services is now
working on finding compatible software to

Students march during the annual Take Back the Night event. This year's rally and march was the largest held at the University of Louisville.
U of L community takes back the night

Nearly 300 people from the University of
Louisville and surrounding areas came out
September 29 to protest against violence
toward women. The annual "Take Back the
Night" rally and march was the largest ever
held at U of L, said Mary Karen Powers,
director of the Women's Center.
Activities such as music, speeches, a
candlelight vigil and a discussion group for
men highlighted the evening. However,
Powers said that two of th.e night's activities
helped participants understand that violence
against women does affect U of L students.
One of those activities was a dedication
service in memorial of former U ofL student,
READERS' GUIDE
Elaine Fonseca Rodriguez. Rodriguez was
murdered in her home as a result of intimate
partner violence one week before her gradua­tion
from Speed Scientific School in
December of 2002. A plaque and tree were
dedicated to her memory during the service.
"For me, that really brought home the
reality that intimate partner violence happens
to U of L students, not just other people in
the community," Powers said. "There were a
number of faculty members that taught her
and students who knew her that attended."
Powers said the other humbling activity
that grabbed her attention was the speak-out,
during which women who have been victims
of violence voiced their strong opposition of
such behavior.
"This helps women know they are not

against women, then we have
got to encourage the men to
stand up to one another and to
challenge the violence that is in
the culture that we live in."

alone," Powers said. "The person who was
speaking had been a victim of violence. They
have found a way to begin healing in their
