At least the pasta's ok . - Wolman Station offers questionable food at high prices. But it's convenient.

Wolman Station is the place to go if you live in either Wolman or McCoy Hall and do not want to take the long hike up to Terrace Court. The food is sub-par, the selection is sub-par, and the facilities are sub-par. But then again, it is all-you-can-eat.

If you are not on the meal plan, it will only cost you $7 for lunch or dinner. It really is not that expensive considering most "all-you-can-eat" places charge far more. Just make sure you eat at least $7 worth of food. The staple of Wolman Station is the pasta section. The food is always the same - always sucks and we always end up eating it. Then why do we continue to force this garbage into our digestive tracks? Well, everything else there sucks even more.

Now, we know this place prepares food for the masses, but can they please cut back on the grease and oil? Could this have something to do with the freshman 15? If you are in the mood for some good old fast food then head on over to the grill inside the Station or travel to the nearest McDonalds. If you do not want to risk your life walking down towards Greenmount, then just break out the JCard, enter the Station and eat one of their famous burgers.

Their burgers are superior to McDonalds, but not Burger King. You can also gorge yourself on some good old Taco Bell tacos and burritos. Don't forget, it's all-you-can-eat. Just don't eat too much; you don't want to overload the John. Almost everything that is cooked has some form of meat in it, so for vegetarians the selection is limited to a salad bar and the few vegetarian servings.

Don't expect to eat kosher; you have to go to Terrace for that, too. "The vegetarian selection at Wolman is virtually non-existent but I am not going to walk my lazy ass over to Terrace," says sophomore Praveen Kankanala.

Although the quality of some food is questionable, the dessert selection is one of the few bright spots. Be sure to try their amazing frozen yogurt. Be creative, put it with other items Wolman offers. Frozen yogurt makes everything taste better, even sweet and sour meatballs.

Seating at the station can be complex. The maze-like arrangement makes it very easy to lose track of friends. When the weather is nice, be sure to sit outside. Science had proven that nothing makes food go down easier like fresh air.

Wolman Station is probably not as bad as I have made it up to be. But having eaten there day in and day out for the past two years, I can assure you it gets tiring. Add some variety to your eating routine. Eat off campus; eat at Terrace, meal equiv - do it and Wolman Station will start tasting much better. Just don't go on Saturdays - they're closed.
