This year’s program is not for women only. ager of the Flap Jack Shack that employs six ACC students. Gregg, who grew up in a restaurant family, expects a complete changeover in staff after two years. Brian Ludlow, assistant manager for Big Boy’s, is happy about hiring students. He finds them “willing to learn’’ and “pretty good workers’’. Some restaurants train their staff prior to actual work; others want the staff to learn on the job. lt often depends on the position. One student received two weeks of training for the position of cook. She now meets every two weeks with the other cooks to discuss procedures and techniques. Restaurant work isn’t always “sunny-side up’’. Customers have a way of arriving all at once and the student worker gets tense and can “mess up”. It’s just as bad when customers don’t come. During the winter, business falls off and man- agers must layoff staff and cut jours. Some students feel that “the pay is not all that terrific’. Position, seniority and how well the restau- rant worker is able to please the customer are factors affecting pay. “Providing efficient service in a clean, friendly atmosphere,” is the aim of Sambo’s manager, Frank Scarpelli. He asks everyone on his staff, not just the waitresses, to be “cheerful and pleasant’. Scarpelli tells them: “Forget your problems— concentrate on the customer. A waitress receives a low wage but claims a certain amount in tips to bring the salary up to ae mini- m hourly wage of 22.90. The waitress keeps any Saad tip money often doubling this amount. Buspersons are paid $2.90. Cooks, hostesses and cs. _ Managers start at the minimum with increa- ses, All employes get bene tts, Last fall, 350 students from area schools filled out applications for 75 positions at a local restaurant, according to Jackie Paul, employed by the Michigan Employment Se- curity Commission in Alpena. Paul added that at least one new restau- rant, in the Holiday Inn, is opening this spring. Flexible hours, availability, con- tact with people, experience and a fair salary — that’s what the student worker can expect from restaurant work. HEIMNICK _ SETS GUIDELINES — Class meetings were se W g for the faculty by Dean John Heimnick, last December. Occasionally instructors requested permission from Heimnick to have certain classes attend plays, con- certs, speeches, meetings, etc. as part. of the required work: for class credit. Permission has been routinely given for this practice with the understanding that it was a valid method of making classes more interesting and used ‘available com- munity resources. The following guidelines will be used in the future for such ac- tivities in courses. Any arrangement altering sched- uled meeting times of classes must trips or similar ac- tivities which are part of the work must be described in the course outline before they can be equated to class contact hours. The in- structor will be present in those cases. Student attendance at plays, speeches, concerts, debates, meet- ings, council meetings, courtrooms, etc. enriches the regularly scheduled classes and should not take the place of the classes themselves. More spe- cifically, directing students to attend events. and cancelling proportion- ate class hours is not an acceptable practice unless the events are des- cribed in the course outline. ___Instructo times, DORM NEWS RHA PLANS SLEIGH RIDE By Cathy Mason The Resident Hall Association held its weekly Monday meeting at 6:00 on January 22.
