Since retiring as president of the
UNC system, William C. Friday has
spent some time learning more about
the state and its people.
Acquiring this new-found knowl
edge has not been a pleasant
experience.
Friday, who was president of the
University system for 30 years,
headed a panel discussion involving
20 state leaders that addressed the
problems of N.C. poverty last month.

Campus food services have under
gone some changes since Marriott
replaced ARA in the spring, but
major changes will not be seen until
the fall. -.
The faces behind the counter are
the same, since Marriott kept ARA's
employees, said Bill Dux. Marriott's
director of Food Services at UNC.
The most noticeable change this
.summer is Marriott's menu, Dux
said. The menus will continue to
change for several weeks while the

Human Services Institute, a
Greensboro non-profit group that
sponsored the discussion and edu
cates government and private organ
izations in ways to assist the poor,
recently released a report that said
more than 1 million of the state's 6
million people, 17 percent of the
population, live in poverty.
During a recent news conference,
Friday said the severity of the
problem surprised him.
In a telephone interview Monday, -he
said the problem was especially
management staff experiments with
menu selection and rotation. During
the summer, menu items are rotated
weekly. When the fall semester
begins, menus will rotate every four
weeks, providing more diversity.
Dux said more diversity was
impossible for summer sessions, since
there, were not enough diners to
support full-line service. "Right now,
we are losing money," Dux said. The
level of business during the summer
is low and does not permit the
operation of the Chase Hall cafeteria
on South Campus or the Commons

devastating to children in the state,
one quarter of whom live in poverty.
"Poverty keeps children from
getting an education," he said. "It
causes them personal embarrassment
and puts them at a psychological
disadvantage."
When asked if heading the panel
changed his personal philosophy of
education, Friday said, No, it just
means we have to do more."
Friday said that since there are
800,000 illiterates in the state, more
educator involvement is needed for
Area in the basement of Lenoir Hall.
Lenoir serves breakfast and lunch but .
not supper. Dux said he has not
heard that this has caused any
particular hardship on students.
"We will probably serve 10 times
the present food offerings this fall,"
Dux said: Plans include Italian and
Mexican lines operating everyday in
Lenoir. Pizza and H B Quix fast foods
will be served in the Commons. Plans
also include a "bagel bar."
Another noticeable change from
ARA is the use of comment cards.
Marriot answers the suggestions
from these cards and posts them on
a bulletin board in Lenoir Hall. "The
comment cards are very important,"
said Dux, because they help Marriott
provide attractive and nutritious
meals at an affordable price.
Pricing has been the subject of
several complaints about Marriott.
Dux said Marriott met the University
guideline of "reasonable prices" when
they bid to replace ARA. He said
pricing studies comparing Marriott
to local businesses like K.&W Cafete
ria, McDonald's and Burger King
have shown Marriott prices to be
competitive. These studies, which are
continuing, have resulted in Marriott
lowering some prices. Corn, for
example, was reduced five cents to
match K&W's price.
Dux further responded to pricing
complaints by pointing out that
prices could only be compared
accurately if you consider the quan
tity and quality of food as well as
the price. He added that Marriott
made a strong effort to present food
attractively, and he encouraged
continued use of comment cards.

the negative effects of poverty on
state educational levels to be
eradicated.
"We really have in our state two
different societies," Friday said,
speaking of one that lives in poverty
and one that does not. "People are
hungry. They are losing hope."
Friday said North Carolinians who
live in poverty cause him to think
of the axiom: "What happens to the
lest of those among you happens to
us all."
The former UNC president plans
to spend some of his time in the
classroom.
On June 27, he was named a
University professor.
"We are delighted to have Mr.
Friday on our faculty," said Chris
topher C. Fordham III, UNC chan
cellor. "He is one of America's most
notable educators and is a stellar
addition to the University in Chapel
Hill."
Fordham said Friday's new posi
tion is administered by the Division
of Academic Affairs. His five-year

The fireworks, which lasted

The fireworks won the
