During the summer the dining hall, which is located in Founder's Hall, underwent many changes and renovations.

A new, more state-of-the-art dish machine is now handling the many dirty dishes of Cabrini students and faculty, according to Oldt.

With these renovations came a more self-serve type of atmosphere, according to Oldt.

There are three new refrigerators and new tiles covering the floors in the now larger kitchen area.

Students were shocked with the cosmetic changes when they went for their first meal of the 19981999 school year.

"It looks good," said first-year student Matt Fem, ''But there's no food, just pasta."

A complete renovation of the interior took place, according to Denise Oldt, director of dining services.

This includes new tables and chairs and also the individual service stations.

Also, the dish room and kitchen were renovated.

The increase of kitchen space is a result of moving the dining services office from the far corner near the dish room to directly straight ahead from the entrance door.

'The dining hall is now more compatible for the amount of students we take care of," said Oldt as she sat in her office, still messy from the move.

With the growing number of incoming first-year students each year, the dining hall needed to be modified, Oldt said.

The wall that formerly blocked the main course area from the actual dining area and housed the line to the main course has been removed, giving the hall a larger looking appearance.

The area clearly labeled "Hometown Cafe" is a new self service addition.

Overall, a student can go into the Founder's Hall dining hall and expect to have a variety of food available to him or her. Each station is clearly labeled with a sign that hangs from the ceiling.

The new self-serve orientation of the dining hall makes lines shorter because now not everyone is rushing to the one main course line.
