Notes From First Interviews About Tables

My notes from the first set of interviews that I conducted on Tuesday February 17, 2009 at "Tables":

Nelson Villamon - Doesn't come to tables to eat. More of a social thing. Socialize. "A right of passage for Greeks"
Can look around and tell who's greek and who's not. not wearing letters at tables makes you
and outsider. isolates you from greeks.
"If I come in and see a kid eating a bucket of chicken, I'm just like thats not right.
Why come to tables to eat? Observe. socialize. don't spend eight dollars on a meal when I can
shop around and get 3 meals for $8. I don't eat at webb. either eat healthy full breakfast or
eat after tables. somewhere cheap prefer.

Arsenio Evans - "I finally got out of bed at 12:05." just to come. wants to be here. doesn't eat at tables often.
to see brothers. hang out. socialize. rep frat.
doesn't eat at set time. "eat when i'm hungry." eats what he feels like.
prefers "cheap to free." "free beats taste."

Santana Avalos - Frat makes him. eats when someone swipes him in at tables otherwise doesn't eat. economic
standards uneducated college student prevent from eating healthy. choose cheap unhealthy
filling. "is it true they put salter peter in the food here?"
