St. Ignatius's The Eye: Volume LXXIX Number II

Have you ever noticed that you can see your reflection in the faces of many St. Ignatius students? These are the brave, or possibly unaware, souls of the St. Ignatius community. Perhaps they lack hygiene, which would not be a big surprise. More than likely, however, they walk the path less traveled by, and that makes all the difference—in their complexion. The little pathway between the cooking area of the cafeteria and the senior lounge from the atrium to the cafeteria is a risky road. The possibility of being run over alone, due to the constricted width, can be a grave danger. Yet, the worst danger is something that most students probably don’t even notice— the fan. This fan which blows large amounts of grease from the kitchen air into the hallway, is what gives these students the mirror-like skin tone on their faces. In the opinion of most, walking by the fan is incredibly uncouth and repugnant. What exactly causes the fan to be so repulsive? The answer is simple. The food served in the cafeteria is primarily greasy food. The combination of this and what an anonymous Latin teacher deems as E-coli ridden mystery meats causes grease and other grotesque agents to enter the air. This amalgamation then settles on the faces of students ambling down the road to perdition. Will Food Services do anything about this problem? The answer is probably not. The last time that much of anything changed was in response to a violation in accordance with the Board of Public Health several years ago. For now, students are left with the unfortunate choice between a greasy facial complexion,unfortunately or an inconvenient walk around the kitchen.
