Meals to cook for 30 people

Hey all. So I'm in a student org at university and we occasionally have dinner get togethers. Usually it is just simple stuff like tacos or sloppy joes but honestly after 3 years, I'm getting fairly bored with it. I'm a decent cook but I don't really have much experience cooking for that many people. Anyone know any good and cheap recipes that can add some variety?

I'd probably do http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insalata_Caprese with maybe some balsamic and then some bruchetta. Depending on the group it could be veg, like grilled vegetable, or something with some cured meat on it.
Then since those two things are delicious but probably wont fill up the regulars like their sloppy joes might, You could make some fettuccine and put whatever sauce is most desirable on it as a final filler.
Edit- As far as recipes, it will be hard for any of us to give you an accurate one because we don't know the guests. When I Think of people at a taco bar or a sloppy joe bar, I just think of a bunch of fatties at a cheap buffet muscling past each other to get to the brownies at the end. But your group may be awesome and only get a couple ounces of this and that. 30 crostini will be enough for one group of 30, while another group would be more in the park of 90-120.
you could brew a huge pot of clam chowder.
cook a bunch of pasta and have another oven cooking up garlic bread and you should be OK

Lasagna, Caesar salad, garlic bread, seems like a good relatively cheap way to feed a big crew of folks.
Lots of Chicken wings.
Serve with rice and a powerfull wine and it's AAAAA+.
Otherwise what I usually make is what we Swedes call a "flygande Jakob".
This one is also incredibly easy!
4 persons
1 kg of fried or grilled chicken (you can usually buy those ready made!)
1 packet of bacon (150 grams)
~4 dl of cream (the fatter the better :P)
~1/2 dl of chilisauce
2-3 bananas
1/2-1 dl of peanuts.
Put oven on 225 degrees C.
Clean out the chicken and cut it into smaller parts. Fry bacon, let it rest on some paper to remove the fat. Mix the cream and the chilisauce together.
Put chicken and bacon in a glass pan or similiar which can manage in the oven. Put the cream/chili on to cover everything. Slice bananas and put them on top.
Put in oven for ~10 min. Put the peanuts on top. Place back in oven for another 10 min.
Serve with sallad and rice!
Pluto was a planet and I'll never forget
make it super hot to prevent people from wanting more.
then put out some nice bread to go with it
