Chef Rachel Ray Comes to Pace Erin O’GOrman News Editor

On April 14, pace graduate, chef, host of 30 Minute Meals and of the Rachel Ray show Rachel Ray will come to Kessel and teach students how to make meals that are nutritious, quick, cheap and simple to make. “This is a great opportunity for students to learn basic healthy cooking,” said the Student Development Center for Activities office. “Sometimes it’s tough to eat well with busy schedules, so they resort to living on easy mac and ramen noodles. That can lead to a really unhealthy lifestyle and cause medical problems. It can also hinder learning and schoolwork, so eating right is very necessary. Rachel is a graduate of Pace, so she knows the school. In a lot of her cooking she also shows ways to save money, which a broke college student very well use.” In a survey, students admitted that they often frequently choose “instant” foods in time crunches and some even claim that the cafeteria does not give enough healthy choices. Those who live close to campus also have the opportunity to eat at home; one girl who lived less than an hour

away from campus stated that she’d taken herself off the meal plan because she could not get used to the kind of food served. Those who live in the townhouses and new dorm are given kitchens, so they have an opportunity to cook for themselves, and also have more space to store and hold food. Those who live in the dorms such as north hall also have kitchens but as freshmen are more limited it seems. “I don’t have time to cook or space to cook my own meals, or the means to go out and do regular food shopping” said one

freshmen. “The meal plan makes things a lot easier.” In addition to demonstrations Rachel Ray will talk about eating healthy during college life and talk about her own experiences at Pace. “We could have gotten anyone,” said people from the SDCA office. “But because Rachel is a graduate of the school students can relate so much more to her than they could to someone who didn’t go to Pace. She’s a lot of fun and has lot of energy; I think the students will enjoy her.” Celebrity visits to Pace are not

uncommon. Others who have visited include Elvis, Chef Boyardee, and Captain America. “It all depends on their availability,” said the SDCA office. “Some are willing and happy to come, others are too busy and some just aren’t interested, they’re even rude about it. Elvis, he came and put on a free concert. And when Chef Boyardee came he gave out free samples of canned spaghetti and meatballs, the students loved it. Captain America came and discussed with students justice and what it means to him an American hero.” In the same survey, most students said they were very interested in learning to cook for themselves and like that Rachel endorses healthy cooking, going along the lines of people like Jamie Oliver and Betheny Frankel. ”It’s always good when celebrity chefs choose to make healthy meals,” commented a group of nursing major students. They said as much as they love Chef Paula Dean, she is notorious for using loads of butter and mayonnaise in her cooking which can lead to a lot of health problems. Anyone who would like to sign up for the free classes can go online or stop by the SDCA office.

Pace University will begin searching for a replacement mascot following the administration’s 9-6 vote abolishing its current symbol the setter. The decision was made after numerous students complained that the Pace Setter was offensive to the demographic of underachieving and inactive students. Though the actual mascot is merely a dog, members of the Underachieving and Assorted Less Ambitious, Arguably Lazy Affiliates (UALAALA) community argued that its allusion to a pacesetter, or a leading, high achieving runner in a race, singled out students who would rather just get by, or who did not enjoy partaking in physically strenuous activities such as running. “I’m sincerely shocked that this issue hasn’t been addressed sooner, especially at a school that boasts its diversity and tolerance,” said applied psychology professor Joan Biggins. “The pun itself assumes a level of intelligence

that screams discrimination. Most students don’t even like running that much. It’s totally inaccurate.” Junior environmental studies major Alexa Davis has been a member of the UALAALA community for most of her life, and

admits that lack of sensitivity and awareness of the demographic has led her to encounter many similar offenses. “I grew up in an area that wasn’t super supportive of the underachieving lifestyle,” Davis

said. “My mom and dad constantly pushed me to succeed in school and reach my full potential. It Continued on Page 2 “Pace Setter Deemed Politically Incorrect”
