Editor:

As an employee of Student Union food services, I would like to extend its sympathies to anyone who was disappointed by the bill of fare at Monday's honor awards. Secondly, I offer to the ennobled representatives of honors clubs a sincere "good luck" in your quest to find beef Wellington on a Happy Meal budget.

Not to be unsympathetic, I have obtained the approval for the inclusion (in addition to chicken Parmesan and New York cheesecake) of a choice of a Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Transformer Amulet or a mood ring, all packaged in a nifty cardboard cubby; perfect for toting your resume around fantasy land.

As to the specific complaints raised in Jimi Jo Story's article of April 16 ("'Excellent' evening features student honors, mystery meat"), it should be noted that just prior to mealtime the hosts announced that an additional 40 people would be in attendance, and that they would like to have the entire process moved up an hour. This is akin to a professor's last-minute revision of a test, which now includes materials not covered in class.

From my point of view, this $6 "Evening of Excellence" would have been more aptly described as an evening of ambushes, created by individuals not well acquainted with the logistical problems created by such last-minute changes. As for the so called mystery meat, I find the Wildcat's periodic attacks on Student Union food services tiresome, unwarranted and amateurish.

For those who were disappointed with this most excellent evening, I respectfully suggest that you don't put Bill and Ted in charge.
