Diversity   dinner  offers  etiquette  lessons By Katie Kane Staff  Writer
ing  the  organic  item.   Ruth  Swisher,  director  of  health  at  University  Health  and  Counseling  Services,  said  from  a  public  health  standpoint,  SHAC  wants  to  remove  the  barriers,  like  cost  and  availability,  making Â
UW-ÂWhitewater’s  Diversity  Networking  Program  will  be  hold- ing  an  etiquette  dinner  from  4  to  6  p.m.  on  Feb.  4  in  the  University  Center.   The  event  is  an  opportunity  for  students  who  are  multicultural,  LGBTQ,  dis- abled,  interracial  or  involved  with  the  military  to  de- Brown velop  skills,  con- nect  with  employers  and  develop  a  resume. Jason  Brown,  career  counselor  and  coordinator  of  the  dinner,  said  it  is  designed  for  individual  students  to  learn  social  skills  needed  for  the  business  world  and  to  help  students  learn  how  to  establish  a  professional  network.  Brown  said  this  event  can  help  students  secure  internships  and  postgraduate  employment. “Students  can  expect  to  get  a  really  good  guide  of  information  of  how  to  approach  the  job  search  and  interviews  directly  from  the  people  who  actually  do  that  work,â€?  Brown  said.  “Building  relationships  with  the  employers  is  really  the  heart  of  this  event.â€? There  will  be  multiple  represen- tatives  attending,  along  with  about  50  UW-ÂWhitewater  students.   The  representatives  will  be  dispersed  at  tables,  so  students  can  easily  access  any  company. The  business  representatives  will  talk  with  students,  answer  questions  and  conduct  mini  interviews. Students  will  also  learn  proper  etiquette  to  follow  in  a  professional  dinner  setting.  Students  will  be  shown  what  to  order  at  a  business  dinner,  which  utensils  to  use,  how  to  excuse  yourself  and  how  to  conduct  conversation  over  dinner. “It  is  not  only  to  eat  in  a  formal  setting,â€?  Ron  Buchholz,  a  director  of  Career  and  Leadership  Development  and  founder  of  the  event,  said,  “but  also  to  carry  conversation  in  that  kind  of  environment.â€? The  event  is  free.   As  of  Jan.  27,  the  event  was  not  full.  Students  can  sign  up  at  my.uww.edu.

New vending machines provide healthier choices )` 4PJOHLS 9PSL` Assistant  News  Editor
Two  new  2bU  vending  ma- chines,  which  provide  healthier  snack  options  with  a  focus  on  all- natural  products,  were  installed  last  October  located  in  the  Univer- sity  Center  and  Fisher  Hall. Canteen,  which  is  under  a  vending  contract  with  the  uni- versity  until  2014  and  is  the  larg- est  vending  service  in  the  United  States,  wants  to  see  if  the  products  in  the  machine  are  popular  among  students  at  the  university.   Every  item  in  the  machine  must  meet  one  or  more  of  these  criteria:  Â&#x2021; Organic,  gluten-Âfree,  veg- an,  kosher  and  local  Â&#x2021; All-Ânatural  ingredients Â&#x2021; More  whole-Âgrain  selec- tions  Â&#x2021; 1R SUHVHUYDWLYHV RU DUWLÂż FLDO LQJUHGLHQWV Ă&#x20AC; DYRUV RU sweeteners  Â&#x2021; No  trans-Âfats Students,  prior  to  purchase,  may  interact  with  an  LCD  screen  displaying  the  nutritional  and  di- etary  information  of  every  item.   The  2bU  vending  machine  also  has  a  credit/debit  card  reader  and  motion  sensor  dimmers  that  help Â
conserve  energy.   Assistant  Director  of  Dining  Services  and  Retail  Operations  Tom  Pellizzi  said  Student  Health  Advisory  Committee  and  Dining  Services  were  planning  to  discuss  the  possibility  of  more  healthy  op- tions  in  the  machines  last  semes- ter.   â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  had  been  in  contact  with  SHAC,â&#x20AC;?  Pellizzi  said.   â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our  rep- resentative  from  Canteen  in- formed  me  that  they  wanted  to  Pellizzi have  these  two  new  machines  that  are  brand  new  on  the  market  with  a  focus  on  more  organic  types  of  items.  At  that  point,  we  said  ab- solutely.â&#x20AC;? Justin  Murphy,  current  presi- dent  of  SHAC,  said  the  new  ma- chines  would  be  a  great  option  if  a  student  needed  a  quick  snack  between  classes  because  the  cur- rent  machines  did  not  have  enough  healthy  options.  Although  the  new  machines  are  on  a  trial  run,  expect  to  see  them  around  campus  for  a  while,  Pellizzi  said.  Â
â&#x20AC;&#x153;They  are  not  planning  on  pull- ing  them  anytime  soon,â&#x20AC;?  Pellizzi  said.   â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  put  them  on  campus  to  see  if  students  like  and  react  to  them.   We  also  want  to  explore  the  different  locations.â&#x20AC;?  Fisher  Hall  was  selected  be- cause  of  its  focus  on  wellness  and  a  healthier  way  of  life.  The  Univer- sity  Center  loca- tion  was  chosen  because  of  the  amount  of  people  that  go  through  the  building  on  a  daily  basis.   ³7KH\ GHÂż Murphy nitely  can  be  shifted,â&#x20AC;?  Pellizzi  said.   â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  machine  is  built  for  a  KLJK WUDIÂż F DUHD 8QIRUWXQDWHO\ in  this  building,  we  did  not  have  a  YHU\ JRRG ORFDWLRQ WR EHQHÂż W IURP WKRVH KLJK WUDIÂż F SDWWHUQV 7KH Williams  Center  also  is  an  option  being  considered.â&#x20AC;?  The  new  machines  provide  nutritional  information  to  the  con- sumer  but  are  commonly  more  expensive  compared  to  the  other  products  in  the  old  machines.  The  problem  comes  down  to  the  student  having  to  decide  between  saving  a  few  quarters  or  purchas-Â
