Why have the Sharples Menus been Off?

September 29, 2008

Editor’s note: This article was initially published in The Daily Gazette, Swarthmore’s online, daily newspaper founded in Fall 1996. As of Fall 2018, the DG has merged with The Phoenix. See the about page to read more about the DG.

When we asked Dining Services Director Linda McDougall this question late last week, we were in the final week of the cycle, which “is the most difficult to complete and can not be completed until we go through the other three weeks. In week 4 we are trying hard not to repeat meals from the past three weeks and to continue to give quality and variety.”

McDougall advised people frustrated with the menus to be patient. “Hopefully in the next couple of days it will get straightened out and most of all be accurate. Please accept our apology for the inaccurate information.”
