Students have worked, played, eaten and even become engaged over a checkered tablecloth or a pizza at Mano's. Over the years, Joe Romano employed and befriended scores of needy students. Married student employees took home many a 'leftover' pizza or spaghetti plate. Sororities and fraternities catered their parties with Joe's pizza.

Joe Romano was always willing to help Stetson students. The first Mano's Restaurant was located in a small building on what was then the outskirts of town. Tables were covered with red and white checkered tablecloths. Chianti bottles with years of candle drippings graced the tables, and old Italian songs filled the air. During the 1960's, Stetson stu- , dents crowded Mano's every weekend. It was a real Stetson 'hangout.' It was the place to be. Joe Romano just seemed to attract students. He genu inely liked students and, in return, students admired Joe. In 1968, Joe Romano built a new restaurant within walking distance of the campus. It became even easier, and more convenient, for students to "meet at Joe's." Students continued to congregate at Mano's, as well as the rest of Deland. Where else could children watch pizzas being made the old fashioned way-by throwing and spinning the dough. As always, Joe was a friend. He continued to help many students get the extra money or encouragement they needed to get through school. Today, those students- are C.P.A.'s, professors, military, officers and even judges.

New recycling plan in. the works Melissa Calger The Stetson Reporter—_ All of the environmentalists on campus should be pleased to know hat recycling at Stetson has recently been made easier. In previous years when you recycled, you had to use three different bins to separate the aluminum cans, the plastic products, and the paper products. Each of the recyclable items were grouped together in trash bags and then whisked away to be recycled. A new process, called Commingling, is now being planned for Stetson and may soon appear on campus, though no certain schedule has been, \ set. In this process, all recyclable items.. GREENTIPS FACT Americans use enough toilet paper each year to stretch to the moon and back almost 6 70 times. BBS. Buy recycled toilet paper, Recycling cannot work If there is no j market for the recycled product, j Complete the loop. j are thrown together in the same trash bin. The bags of recyclables are taken to a warehouse located at the nearest waste site, where the bags are opened up and dumped on the floor. Dedicated workers then sort through the trash and separate the items into groups. . Stetson is among the first universities in Florida to try Commingling. Stetson has experimented with Commingling before, however, that attempt was not successful. People threw food and drinks into the recycling bins and contaminated them. If the bags are contaminated, they put the workers at. the waste site in danger by exposing them to germs and disease-causing bacteria; therefore, the waste sites will not accept '-contaminated bags for recycling. Instead, the bags are taken to the local land fill. Commingling should have a positive effect at Stetson, if it works out properly. It should make the process of recycling less tedious for those of us on campus and help get more people involved in recycling. In order for Commingling to work, everyone needs to participate. For a few years, Mano's in DeLand was dosed so that Joe could devote his time to his Orange City restaurant. When that proved unsatisfactory, Joe joined the staff in the Hat Rack. Students were in heaven-Mano's pizza in the Hat Rack! How lucky could you get? But Joe missed working for himself, so he again opened his East Ohio Avenue restaurant. Now, nearing his 65th birthday, Joe Romano says his "feet are tired." Mano's Restaurant has been sold. Joe Romano has earned the right to some rest and relaxation. The entire Stetson community will miss the fine food and fellowship they have enjoyed at Mano's. An era has ended.1 We will all miss you, Joe! Body Shop reopens Dr. Steve Barnett. Special to the\ Reporter_ What is the Stetson Body Shop? Anita Roddick launched the first Body Shop in Brighton, England in 1976 with a small bank loan and a missipn of "honest business dealings with social consdence and environ- mentalism." Today The Body Shop is a billion dollar business with pver 1,400 stores worldwide selling 400 varieties of natural cosmetics. Ms. Roddick's entrepreneurial skills, her book Body and Soul, and her stand on environmental issues have iwon her worldwide acclaim as a business leader. Stetson is one of six schools in the United States awarded a spedal Body Shop franchise. Stetson uses this franchise as a retail laboratory'that gives the students real world application of concepts and techniques they leafn in their retail management classes as yS:\*'~< Retail' marketing students man theirfranchise. well as other courses. What is Stetson's Retail Manage- ■ ment Course? Retail Management (MKT416) is ; a business school undergraduate marketing course open to all majors , (prerequisite course: Marketing 315, Introduction to Marketing). The Retail Management course is unique in three ways. First, it incorporates the actual operation of a retail store as part of the course structure. Second, the course structure incorporates the philosophy, systems, training material, and managers (Body Shop managers actually teach some of the dasses) from the sponsoring retail company (The Body Shop). Third, the teacher grades the students in part on their store profitability and in part on their explanation of how they applied retailing ideas, principles, and concepts from their textbook in the operation of , their store. Visit the Stetson , Body Shop; you'll find top quality products and service. The store, a mall cart, is located on the patio between the bookstore and the Hat Rack. Hours vary as each student management team operates the store one day a week and develops their own • retail strategy. Most operate between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. <r New Hat Rack hours enacted Angela Furnari The Stetson Reporter ____■ Some students on campus may have noticed a change if they attempted to go to the Hat Rack over the weekend. The Hat Rack now has new hours on the weekends. It won't open until 6:30 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays and will continue to close at one-a.m. However, the Commons will be open until 6:30 p.m. on the weekends and will offer a wider variety of food than during the week. ' "In our talks with the [Student Government Association] Food Service Committee, they were asking me about increasing the selections that we offer in the cafeteria food court area on weekends, so we got to talking about it and, of course, the Hat Rack is open all day Saturday as well as the Commons, so we decided it might make a lot of sense for us to look at dosing the Hat Rack and moving those people over into the food court area where we can open up everything," said Elliot Palmer, food services director. It is also much quicker to serve everyone in the Commons. "We transferred the people who were working in one area into another area to get better service. Instead of having two areas with partial service, it gives you one area with full service," said, Palmer. The SGA Food Services Committee, headed by Jeff Pointe, wrote a bill asking for more variety in the Commons on the weekends. To allow for more variety would mean opening up more stations, the committee amended the bill to include changing the Hat Rack hours so there would be enough people to work the stations in the Commons. Palmer said, "Mhink it's going to be very well-accepted. We're offering a much wider selection than what's been offered before. It's just a much more efficient way of feeding people, and I believe it will be very well accepted." Students have had some concerns with the Commons not being open as long on the weekends or serving as wide a variety of food. For instance, some students are early risers and couldn't eat breakfast in-Ahe Commons because it wasn't open early enough on the weekends. The extended hours will allow them to eat breakfast now. Also, some students wanted to be able to have healthier foods such as sal ads and pastas, which aren't offered in the Hat Rack. Others would just like to be able to eat pizza on the weekends. For those who can't fight off the urge to have an order of cheese sticks or chicken fingers from the Hat Rack, do not fear. There is talk of moving some of the Hat Rack's more popular items such as chicken fingers and such into-J the Commons. Since the Hat Rack will-, be opening up by 6:30 p.m. on the week- I ends, students will still be able to go for j late night talks with friends over a milkshake. Nancy Jones, director of student life and advisor of student government, said, "Elliot [Palmer] in.Food Services and Jeff and his committee worked it out so that it would be more economical as well as give them [students] what they wanted, which was more variety and different hours, and the way to accommodate that was to keep the Hat Rack dosed until 6:30 p.m. "I hope they [the students] like it. My guess is that based on student government, the majority of the senators wanted it. They, meaning the senators, voting for their constituents, obviously thought their constituents would want the change because they voted it in." Greenfeather fun keeps on going.. Davina Yetter The Stetson Reporter _ If you haven't already noticed, something big is going on around campus. One of Stetson's biggest events, not to mention longest-running traditions, has taken over campus with a bang, all in the name of charity. " Entering its fortieth year, Greenfeather is a week-long fundraising campaign to benefit community service organizations in Volusia County. "What we are doing is so important," said Kelly Ann Holzapfel, a senior sports administration major from Vero Beach, who serves as Greenfeather coordinator. "The groups we gave to last year were so appreciative." This year, Greenfeather proceeds will be allocated to the Chisholm Center, the, Domestic Abuse Council, the Duvall Home, Florida Methodist Children's Home, Habitat for Humanity, Head Start, Hospice of Volusia County, the House Next Door, the Humane Society, vParentCraft, the Rape Crisis Center, Sugar and Spice Day Care Center, the Volusia County literacy Council, and an AIDS-help group yet to be chosen. So far, the Kickoff Carnival has already made more money than last year's event. There has also been an increase in organizations participating, according to Mike Doyle, Carnival chair. There are still many fun events to participate in, so show your school spirit, fight apathy, and support Greenfeather—it keeps going...and growing...and giving!
