With the sounds of Latin jazz pulsating from amplifiers set up near by, Berkeley High School students forked over $4 and were treated to extraordinary noontime fare – tacos from Chez Panisse, Burritos from Cancuns’, chow mien from the Long Life Veggie House and pizza from the Cheese Board. It was a  

promotional day for the long-awaited “food court.” Principal Frank Lynch said the school would need to add vendors to serve more than a few hundred of the 3,200 teens on campus, but that it was a start.

Reps. Ron Dellums and Barbara Lee.
