Wendy's and Papa John's fail to deduct money from the Cardinal Card Food services claims purchases are monitored By ALLISON STRICKLAND News Editor Wendy's must know what it's like to be a poor college student with their reasonably priced menu items. Heck, they might as well just be giving the food away for free. But wait. They already are. During a Cardinal investigation during the past three weeks, food services on campus were · examined. The majority of restaurants had no obvious problems, with two exceptions: Papa John's and Wendy's. The Cardinal found that card readers at these restaurants do not deduct money from the Cardinal Card. The investigation began at Outtakes on Monday, Oct. 6, with two meal cards; one had a balance of just over a hundred dollars, while the other had a balance of $0. The card with a zero balance was refused at Subway, Outtakes, all restaurants on the second floor of the SAC, Mitzi's and Ritazza. However, Wendy's and Papa John's swiped and accepted the card without any indication that the card had no money on it. In a story that appeared in the Cardinal on Oct. 7, David Freeland, senior director of dining services for U ofL, stated that Wendy's had a problem with the software in the registers not being equipped to process Cardinal Cards. He went on to say that the department of food services was now working on finding compatible software to speed up the ordering process and if that didn't work, the registers would have to be changed. "It is a hardware problem, not a software problem," said Freeland. Plans to change the registers are planned for Christmas break. According to Sonny Altman, director of con tract administration and risk management, "problems occur e~ery year when food services are first opened for the fall semester and there ~renew challenges and adjustments READERS' GUIDE that need to be made." Altman said that "this year may have been particularly challenging for us because of all the changes we've made, but overall, I think things have gone very well. I don't believe we have any major problems to note, but we are always looking for ways to improve service and mal<e the campus dining experience better for everyone." The Cardinal Card i:s a student I. D. card with a n:agnetic strip on the back, capable of holding a variety of information. The amount of money on meal cards is stored on this strip. "Each time a customer makes a purchase and uses their meal card to pay for their purchases the card is swiped in the reader and the accou~t is verified with the host computer in Houchens," said Freeland.

Annual tuirion increases at universities statewide, declining state funds for universities and community and technical colleges and ranking in the bottom 20'" percentile of number of college graduates are only a few of the more pressing issues co.ncerning post-secondary education. With only one week remaining in the race for Kentucky Governor, the Cardinal takes a look at candidates Ben Chandler (D) and Ernie Fletcher (R) positions on reforming the face of Kentucky higher education. Drawing support from both candidates is the Research Challenge Trust Fund ("Bucks for Brains"), which spotlights emerging technologies and manufacturing by endowing universities wit~ the financial necessities to establish groundbreaking resear-ch in these fields. If the university matches the state fronted sums, then the state maintains its contributions. Fletcher and Chandler believe in continued funding of the act as stimulation for job growth and an economic module for universities.

Wendy's and Papa John's fail to

Food services claims

News Editor
Wendy's must know what it's like to be a
poor college student with their reasonably
priced menu items. Heck, they might as well
just be giving the food away for free.
But wait. They already are.
During a Cardinal investigation during the
past three weeks, food services on campus were
· examined. The majority of restaurants had no
obvious problems, with two exceptions: Papa
John's and Wendy's. The Cardinal found that
card readers at these restaurants do not
deduct money from the Cardinal Card.
The investigation began at Outtakes on
Monday, Oct. 6, with two meal cards; one
had a balance of just over a hundred dollars,
while the other had a balance of $0.
The card with a zero balance was refused
at Subway, Outtakes, all restaurants on the
second floor of the SAC, Mitzi's and Ritazza.
However, Wendy's and Papa John's swiped and
accepted the card without any indication that
the card had no money on it.
In a story that appeared in the Cardinal
on Oct. 7, David Freeland, senior director of
dining services for U ofL, stated that Wendy's
had a problem with the software in the
registers not being equipped to process
Cardinal Cards. He went on to say that the
department of food services was now
working on finding compatible software to
speed up the ordering process and if that didn't
work, the registers would have to be changed.
"It is a hardware problem, not a software

registers are planned for Christmas break.
