FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1^66 THE DIALETTE THE FOOD WE EAT The opinions in this article do not necessarily press the opinions of the iritire editoral staff. ex- Does the word FOOD in any shape, form, or fashion at Montreat interest us? If so, what shall we do about it? Shall we eat it, like it, loathe it, or grumble about it. Food is something that everyone must have in order to live. Do we have this at Montreat? Of course we do, but it seems as if some of us are not able to realize that. We spend all our time grumbling about what it looks like or how it tastes. The food isn't really that bad. How many of us at home are served three fall-course meals a day? The food must not be as bad as we pretend it is, be cause don't we see quite a few grumblers going back to the servers two and three times? It seems as if most of us fill up those stomachs. Come to think of it, we dont see many "beanpoles" walking around on campus either. It looks as if most of us are quite pudgy, especially in some places. Don't you agree? We grumble about not having enough proteins, but no one has died yet, I wonder how many of us have tried preparing food for two or three hundred people. Don't you imagine it would be quite difficult to prepare that much? The people in the cafeteria are working constantly preparing food for us, and then we don't appreciate it. How many of us ask them for two servings when we go throu^ the line? They give it to us, don't they? Some of us should imagine . ourselves as. people in foreign countries who didn't have one-fourth of what • have. w e would be satisfied with one piece of meat, and we say we don't have enough. Think twice. We never seem to realize that those people are working for us. Why don't we show them some kindness and appreciation every once in a while? When we think the food is good we should tell them so. Have you ever been in a class and the teacher never encouraged youj he seemed to always be cutting you down? You don't feel like working for that teacher anymore, do you? You don't care, because he never says anything good about your work. Don't you imagine the people in the cafeteria feel the same way? They probably say, "•What's the use trying to please these students. They never appreciate it an3Tway," Sometimes the food may not be the best, but have we ever seen anything perfect all of the time? Of course we haven't. We just want to grumble... Let's consider demonstrating for our food instead of against it,. PAGE 2 BICMAMA DO YOU HAVE PROBLEMS? Big Kama has reluc tantly agreed to answer a few questions in ourpiapter. If you have a problem, be sure to write to Big..Mama, "The Dialette" in care of Janice Rogers, Montreat- Anderson College, Montreat, N. C. Dear Big Mama, I am in a state of con fusion. I've been lying here in the infirmary for four days. Noone has been in my room since day be fore yesterday. I fear I am dying for I haven't been able to unloose the ropes which tie me to my bed. The only provisions left for me were a glass of once icy water and a bell. Oh, Big Mama, I'm desperate, please tell me what to do. Little Nelle Dear Little Nelle, Ring the bell, and Good Luck I Big Mama dear. * The' Difference Actually there's only a slight difference between keeping your •chin up and sticking your. neck out, but it's a differenceworth knowing.'
