Eating in the campus cafeterias
Tuesday evening was more of a
"down-home", experience than usual
for some UNC students.
Instead of choosing between taco
salads and spaghetti, they were
offered traditional North Carolina
foods such as barbecued pork, sweet
potatoes and okra.
"Goodness grows in North Carol
ina" was the theme of a food fair
sponsored by the N.C. Department,
of Agriculture and Marriott food
services. It was held Tuesday in
Lenoir and Chase dining halls.
Booths were set up to exhibit
products grown and produced in this
state, and a special menu was served
that featured regional favorites.
The purpose of the fair, according
to Myrtle Turner, marketing special-
ist with the N.C. Department of
Agriculture, was to promote the
"Goodness grows in North Carolina"
label.
The agriculture department is
trying to persuade companies to
display the label on food products
grown or manufactured in this state
so that consumers in North Carolina
will be encouraged to choose pro
ducts made in their home state. .
The program should help the
farmers, she explained, and will
encourage them to diversify their
produce. "This will help create a
positive image toward agriculture and
toward North Carolina," she said.
About 75 percent of UNC's stu
dents are from North Carolina, said
Charles Hackney, marketing man
ager for Marriott food services.
He said the fair received a positive
response from students. "This is
something totally new," he said. "It's
something that people are not used
to. It's exciting and educates people,
too."
Turner said the event would edu
cate students from North Carolina
about their home state as well as
exposing out-of-state students to
regional customs.
Students were pleased with the
unusual variety of food offered in the
dining halls.
"The food is usually of a lower
caliber than this," said graduate
student Shelley Banneroshea. "It's an
improvement."
Senior Alicia Delaney of Fayette
ville also said the food tasted better
than usual. "I enjoyed it a lot more,"
Delaney said. "The service was better,
too. The people were a lot nicer." '
Banks need diversity
in services, speaker says
By MYRNA MILLER
Staff Writer ...
Banking is branching out into
a diverse array of services, . an
industry official said Wednesday.
Luther Hodges, chairman of the
board and chief executive officer
of the National Bank of Washing
ton, discussed modern banking
with a group of about 70 UNC
business students in Carroll Hall
Wednesday. -
Hodges focused his speech on
the management and banking
skills needed to construct a solid
financial institution out of a
broken company. National Bank
of Washington recently underwent .
a reconstruction.
- Hodges said some of the prob
lems the banking system has are
due to a lack of political support.
"The public doesnt really like
bankers or banks," he said. "It
dismays me sometimes that the
political leadership of the state of
North Carolina is not more out
front in supporting the banking
industry because the future of this
very regulated industry is highly
political."
The main problem with banks
today is that "the banking industry
is taking on more risks and has
a decline in credit quality," he said.
But he was optimistic that changes
will be made in the future.
Hodges also criticized banking
systems, but he added that he
believes many changes will occur
in banking during the next few
years that will open up many
opportunities.
Hodges, stressing that banks of
the future will be consolidating,
said, "The bank of the future is
a bank, is an insurance company,
is a brokerage company, is a travel
agency, is a very fine company."
Hodges is this year's first
executive-in-residence at the UNC
Graduate School of Business
Administration. The executive-in-residence
program, sponsored by
the Frank Hawkins Kenan Insti
tute of Private Enterprise, allows
prominent business people to
share their knowledge with UNC
business students.
Hodges served as deputy secre
tary of the U.S. Department of
Commerce in 1979 and was a
candidate for the U.S. Senate in
1978.
He is a 1957 UNC graduate in
economics. He received his mas
ter's degree in business adminis
tration from the Harvard Grad
uate School of Business in 1961.
