house staff
when i was in school we had a breakfast/lunch cook, and a dinner cook. we had cooked breakfasts m-f. on the weekends the housemother set out cold cereal, bagels, bread and english muffins, milk and juice and brewed coffee and hot water for tea.
we would have a couple of selections for lunch every day. we had one entree for dinner with a couple of vegetables and a starch and a few nights a week we had dessert. there was always a salad bar .dinner was a seated affair, served family style.we were not served any meals on the weekend except the breakfasts described above. we had "servers", male students(usually in fraternities) who bussed the tables and washed up after lunch and dinner in exchange for their meals(lunch & dinner) at a sorority house-they considered it a good trade-off! we also had a lady that kept the house vacuumed and dusted and cleaned the bathrooms m-f. she did not clean our rooms, but we were allowed to use the vacuum to clean up our own rooms. i didn't realize how good i had it back then!
i believe that there is a similar arrangement at the house to this day, although i understand that all meals are served buffet style now. lisa
