agencies began sending employees nome early. The city was in a state of chaos as the day's 6.5-inch accumulation of snow and freezing temperatures led also to the tragic crash of an Air Florida Jetliner into the 14th street Bridge. Twenty minutes later, at approximately 4:20, the subway derailed. Three people were killed in the accident, but like most of the passengers, the Hope students escaped injury. The four had been in the city for less than two weeks since their semester in Washington began.

Western Responds to Meal Plan

Provost Marker in GLCA Post

He has devised some alternative plans and is willing to discuss them with offcampus students. However, he stresses that more interest will have to be shown by the students if these are to be put into practice. Renz had these ideas written down at the end of last semester but the off-campus students never contacted him. Some of these possibilities include; a certain number of meals for a discounted price, off-campus student night, where prices are discounted, and the use of a Kletz card. The student night could be a twice weekly occurence geared especially toward off-campus students. Also, Renz pointed out that the Kletz card is a $10 value offered to students for nine dollars. This card can be used at both the Kletz and Phelps cafeteria. Renz encourages feedback on these proposals and is willing to talk to any students concerning these ideas.
