Food Services--more than serving

However, this division realizes
it will make goofs, and sometimes
will not offer products and service
you want.
You can help greatly by expres-
sing displeasure with service
given.
Too often a dissatisfied cus-
tomer feels, "what the heck—if I
complain, nothing will be done
anyway." This is not true, NEX
wants to serve you and the only way
it can correct deficiencies is by
you letting NEX know where it goes
wrong.
If you don't like the menu, se-
lection or service you are receiv-
ing, say so.
The exchange wants your patronage
and only you can help NEX to im-
prove.
You can make suggestions or com-
plaints by calling the Food Services
Office at 5273 and talking to Eric
Hill.

Recreation is sure that you have
noticed a few changes in the Recreation
Department during the past six weeks.
Many of these changes have become an in-
convenience for some. However, in the
long run, many people will benefit from
the additional services provided with
they money saved.
A big change at the gymnasium in-
cludes relocating the Gear Issue Room to
the gymnasium floor area. This reloca-
tion was necessary to provide more
stringent controls on gear issued.
You will also find that Gear Issue no
longer issues towels and requires pa-
trons to show ID cards to check out
gear.
During this period that problem
was solved. The pool was also cleaned,
recaulked and repainted.
Stand by for the new bowling alley.'
If you have stuck your head into the
old bowling alley during last weekend,
or might do so during the next few
weekends, you'll find almost all
Recreation Department's military per-
sonnel involved in cleaning, pounding
nails and carrying lumber.
Hull Technician First Class Robert
Kalinowski saw that all personnel
were churning and burning.
Even Lieutenant Commander Green
carried lumber, but, after making too
many mistakes, was demoted to pushing
a broom.
This action began because the Re-
creation Department has lost 1,200
towels in the past seven months.
One reason for the loss was that
some persons were signing false names
for towels.
Another inconvenience you may find
is that eye protectors are now manda-
tory for those who play racquetball.
This is a safety item, and Recrea-
tion is sure that nobody wants to wait
until someone loses sight of an eye to
make that decision.
Recreation believes many persons
will be happy to learn that the swim-
ming pool opened at 9 a.m. Wednesday,
having been closed for the past six
weeks because of a chlorination prob-
lem.
Okay, deep sea fishermen, here is
your chance. Recreation has made a
deal with a local fisherman to take up
to four fishermen deep sea fishing this
summer at $40 per trip.
You bring your lunch he'll provide
coffee.
He'll get the fish except for 10 or
12 that you can bring home.
The boat will leave Grindavik at 6
a.m. any morning, and return at 4 p.m.
To make arrangements, see LCdr.
Green at the Recreation Office.
The Recreation Department is getting
a new bus, and expects its delivery in
July or August.
Well, that's about it, folks.
Recreation personnel are working hard
to provide you with better and addi-
tional services, and hope you enjoy
yourselves on your time off.
