Lunchroom turnover cafeteria changes create controversy Maddie Morelock ‘14 Super Senior Writer
A
t the kickoff of the 20122013 school year, Brebeuf introduced to its students a totally new lunchroom setup complete with a wrap station and multiple new food options. The previously in-house food service operation had been outsourced to a company by the name of Aladdin Foods, shaking up the longtime routine in the cafeteria. “Cece [a former cafeteria worker] was retiring and the cafeteria was not breaking even, so that’s why we originally looked to outsourcing,” Brebeuf CFO Janice Cota explained. With no natural succession of management after Cece’s departure, Brebeuf decided to investigate various food service options, eventually settling on Aladdin Foods.
“Part of our negotiations were that they would hire the cafeteria staff,” Cota continued. Aladdin Foods was obliged to meet these requirements and started the first year (2012-2013) of their contract by employing the same cafeteria staff that students had come to know and love. After a service has been outsourced, however, “it’s hard to get in the middle of the employee
and the outside company,” Father Jack explained. “[The employees] are technically not working for us anymore.” Responsibilities that had previously rested within the Brebeuf administration were now responsibilities of Aladdin Foods, including whom to hire and fire. This August, the employer turnover became apparent to students as some of the most

well-known members of Brebeuf ’s community were noticeably absent from behind the lunch lines. Also missing was the large, gopherclad sign that previously adorned the cold-food line, taking with it a piece of the lunchroom legacy. Students were shocked and confused to see such a dramatic transformation. Some students and alumni reacted angrily to the switch and subsequent change in employees. Senior Courtney Batteast vowed to “never eat in the cafeteria again,” while alumni Jimmy Hogan ’13 reminisced about old employees who “always brightened [his] day.” Though responses varied in severity, most returning students felt uneasy about the difference in the cafeteria. To the upperclassmen and alumni of Brebeuf, the old cafeteria experience will be remembered fondly when looking back on their Brebeuf experience – though whether it’s because they miss the old staff or the old prices, it’s hard to tell. Regardless, these members of the Brebeuf community will always remember the cafeteria’s “glory days,” something that students of the future will not have the opportunity to say.

rebeuf students have only been back in school for a little over a month, and specific fashion trends are already being seen amongst the students. By now, girls have probably reluctantly tucked away summer’s very popular high-waisted shorts, skirts, and cropped tops, making room for school clothes. Denim, patterned, and colored skinny jeans, sweaters, cardigans, blazers, flowing tops, and tunics are just a few pieces that seem to be common staples in a Brebeuf girl’s closet. Guys are lucky, as they don’t have to change their wardrobe too much from summer. Their shorts, polos, tees, and sweatshirts are perfectly acceptable for school. Despite having to say goodbye to the short waisted shorts, skirts, and cropped tops, a few new trends have definitely already been set, and some old ones carried on. From chambray shirts to Birkenstocks, these are just a few students that were spotted wearing some of Brebeuf ’s most popular fashion trends.
