That's fine if they're complaining with good reason. Guilford's cafeteria serves caf eteria food. It is not a restaurant, and it is not your mommy. The cafeteria must serve over 1000 stu dents three times a day. This is slightly more than what your mommy must do. When the student body re quested more potatoes, the cafete ria responded with (duh) more potatoes. Now the student body complains that the cafeteria serves potatoes too often. It is impossible for the cafete ria to serve food that every single finicky Guilford student will enjoy 1 * • None of us ever needs to go Forum hungry. We may think that the food isn't edible sometimes, but it is. Maybe the food isn't up to Guil ford student's standards, but the amount of complaining that goes on is ridiculous. Either eat the food or don't. Leave the poor people who are bending over backward to please a bunch of spoiled college students (who think they are persecuted if their food isn't always tasty) alone. Everybody loves the cafeteria workers. How do you think they feel when you bitch and moan con stantly about the quality of the food they prepare? The cafeteria has no choice but to order their food in bulk (surprise, surprise). Sorry, but it's hard to find mass-produced fo.ur star-restaurant-quality filet mi- Letter to the Editor To the Editor: I'd like to correct a quotation attributed to me in the Guilfordian article title "McNemar proposes changes" that appeared in the Sep tember 5, 1997, issue. I did speak in the faculty meeting, and the first two of the three sentences attrib uted to me are accurate. I did not, however, make the bold, ominous, prediction that "We're going to see this first-year class go from 290 to 240 real quickly." Rather, I chose my words carefully, using the best Quakerese I could muster, and said that it was MY CONCERN that IF in North Carolina Career Consortium's Job Fair c 97 The North Carolina Career Consortium Job Fair provides students an extraordinary opportunity to meet and interview with approximately 70 employers from business and industry, the human services, and government jobs.

Even if the student body has a valid complaint about the qual ity of the food (which we do not think they have), they do not have a valid complaint about the vari ety of the food. At the hot bar, there are at least six choices for the main course, including meat and non meat dishes. There is always a ce real, sandwich, vegan, and salad bar. And don't forget the bagels. Mr. McNeely is not your mommy, so don't complain to him like he is. If you have a problem with the cafeteria food, try getting a job in there so you can see just how difficult it is to please a bunch of. Guilford students. cutting the size of the faculty we were to lose the close faculty-stu dent relationships that character ize Guilford, THEN we might see that 290 figure drop to 240. I do not see this an an inevi table outcome, though it remains, for me, a serious concern. I am committed to do everything I can to avoid this outcome, and there fore, when Don McNemar asked me to coordinate the Academic Structure Task Force, I agreed. Richie Zweigenhaft
