6/The Blue Banner/Thursday, Nov. 14, 1985 _In Touch Memories of Wonder By Anne May UNCA student Nancy KLodt doesn’t seek out excite- nent. It’s just that exciting things seem to happen to her that don’t normally happen to other people. Klodt, who lives on a farm in Madison Coimty with her husband Bill, and her son Jake, sees herself as "basically a humble and somewhat reserved" person. But Klodt has some fond memories of her life when she was younger, especial ly the time she spent tra veling with Stevie Wonder. "I was 15 years old and living in Washington at the time. I had a girl friend who loved Stevie Wonder, and we went to see one of his shows," she said. After the show, Klodt and her friend found out where Wonder was staying, and they showed up outside his door. "We called him up on the house phone right outside his door and asked if we coiild see him. He said O.K., and we saw him every day for the rest of the week," said Klodt. According to Klodt, the three became fast friends, going on picnics and spending a lot of time together. At one point, KLodt was Wonder * s chauffer. "I * d drive him to the show and girls would jump on his car and I*d just grin. It was an incredible experi ence," she added. Klodt said Wonder was a sweet, sensitive person who was playful. "Once he told us he loved chocolate chip cookies more than any thing, so my girlfriend and I baked some," she said. They took the cookies up on stage during a concert and popped one in his mouth. "He thought that was funny," she added. Klodt said she skipped a lot of school to see Won der’s concerts. "I made up stories to iny parents, but eventually they found out," she said. Klodt said she hasn't been in touch with him in years. Come dance up an appetite!

I have fond memories, but I can’t see myself doing that now," she added. Occasionally, Klodt admits she gets "a little flutter in (her) heart" when she thinks about her days with Stevie Wonder. But exciting things still keep happening to her. Klodt was walking through the Asheville airport a couple of weeks ago when she said she saw "some guys walk in with reptile skin boots and lots of bangle bracelets." "I said to myself, this is rock n* roll. One of the guys smiled at we. and I smiled back," said Klodt. Klodt went on to Char lotte, and the group of guys went on to Los Angeles. "On my way back home, I had a three hour layover in Charlotte, and there they were again!" she exclaimed. Klodt said the guy that smiled at her ran over and said "This is like seeing an old friend." iMf!A student Nancy KLodt used to travel wLtih and chauffer sioiger Stevie Wonder. Klodt doesn't keep in touch with hi* aiqfBore, but she has soae good ■eaories* Klodt asked him What group he was with. "Ratt," he replied. Klodt didn’t have any idea who Ratt was. "Do you have any records out now?" she asked. "He looked at me like I was crazy when I asked that," said Klodt. Klodt said the guy told her his name was Warren, a guitarist for the group. "I talked to him about my farm. He was curious about what it was like to live in the country," she added. While the rest of the members of the group slumped in their chairs dark glasses and tried to go unnoticed, Warren and Klodt talked. Klodt said the more she talked to him the more she realized Ratt was a popu" lar group,"especially when a little boy came up and asked Warren for his auto" graph." Klodt says she doesn't actively "seek out these types of situations." But she is the first to admit her life is never boring. Remember... To eat or not to eat By Mike Norris Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. The alarm clock strikes again, interrupting anoth er perfectly good dream. "What should I do?" moans the sleepy student. "Should I get up now and face breakfast, or just sleep a little longer and go straight to class?" College students face this situation quite of ten, and not just at breakfast. Often, it is inconven ient to stick with the normal breakfast, lunch, dinner routine. "I don't eat breakfast sometimes. I'd rather sleep a few extra min utes," said village stu dent M.J. Davis. Greg Conner, another resident student, said that he usually eats his first meal of the day at lunch time. Conner said, "Instead of breakfast, lunch, and din ner, my eating routine is more like lunch, dinner, and late night snack." Commuter eating habits are no more conventional than those of residents. "I bring my lunch every day but Tuesday and Thurs day," said Paul Justice, who commutes from Enka. "I eat at home on those two days," continued Jus tice, "but ny dinner sche dule is not so regular." "I'm in a fraternity, and we spontaneously get together for dinner all the time." Beth Anderson, another commuter, said, "I bring ny lunch sometimes, and other times I go out. On Mondays I eat at BSU." What students eat is of ten as varied as when and where they eat. "I eat lots of popcorn at work," said Jeff Har din, who works at Beau- catcher Cinemas. "Even though I live at home, I spend much of time at the frat house, said Hardin. "When I'm there, I end up eating a lot of frozef* pizzas and TV dinners," ^ said. Like every other students interviewed, Hardin eat^ out quite a bit. Sustenance for resident® is not much different. Davis said. Sometimes use the microwave in Vano^ or my hotpot to heat som^ thing." Ethan Whitener, a hig^ rise resident uses a hot pot, too. "tty roommate and I e^^ instant soup all tl^ time," said Whitener. Conner said, "Eve^ though we tend to have ^ variety of eating habits> I think that college dents are more concerne about what they eat." As for the student de . eiding whether or not eat breakfast, he may ^ thinking of his health.
