V
A Push for
Improvements
By RUEGGY COPEN
Since the arrival of Dean
Gorden Joyner at A.C., there
have been several areas in
Student Life where im
provements have begun. One of
these areas is that of the food
service. After realizing that the
A.C. Cafe is a major concern of
many of the students, Joyner
had a committee formed that he
felt would represent the biggest
portion of the student body.
S.G.A. President, Don Berry,
assisted in (he search for the six
students that would eventually
come together to form the Food
Committee that meets with
Ralph Grumpier, ARA
representative, to discuss the
embetterment of the cafeteria.
When referring to the com
mittee, Cathy Edwards said,
“We are a committee of tokins,
composed of various class
ranks, majors interests and food
taste.” Edwards, a junior
business major, is the Chair
person of the group. Also in the
group are Tim Barrett, a fresh
man history major; David
Batts, a senior nursing major;
Varonica Eveans, a senior
business major; Cathy Marcom,
a sophomore nursing major; and
Julie Sanders, a junior nursing
major.
The first meeting of the group
as a whole was Sept. 27. At this
meeting, they (thestudents) met
with Dean Joyner, Milton
Adams, Business Manager of the
college, and Ralph Grumpier.
They discussed the purposes for
the committee: to represent the
student body in relating the
overall student concerns and
opinions to Ralph, and to work
with Ralph to relate to the
students his limitations and
financially and in his
capabilities of service.
At the next meeting, on Oct.
23, many topics were brought up
• for discussion. One of the major
topics was that of the student
concern for the variety in the
food. The student committee
suggested several possibilities
that would show, if not a wider
variety of food, at least a nicer
presentation thereof. Among the
tentative suggestions discussed
were those of “Theme Nights.”
These would be certain nights in
which a central theme would be
chosen and a menu would be
planned around it. Some of the
possibilities included a Mexican
Fiesta, Soul Food Night,
Vegetarian Night, Chinese Food
Night, a Western Round-up, and
an Italian Night (which Ralph
has already taken the initiative
to plan and execute himself).
Other topics of concern also
included the lack of fruit, and
meatless breakfasts. It was
discovered that the reason there
is not as much fruit as some
people would desire is that too
many times it ends up being
thrown on the floors and the
prices have been so high that it
has become too expensive to get.
Ralph also explained that there
were two mornings a week that
breakfast is without meat. “The
reason for this,” Ralph ex
plained, “is that the meat prices
went out of sight back at the
beginning of the year, after (the
students) had paid their bills. By
then it was too late for us to go
back and ask (the students) for
more money.” Therefore, the
only pratical thing to do to offset
the meat prices was to have two
mornings a week when no meat
would be served. However, on
these mornings, Mondays and
Thursdays, fresh donuts would
be served. Ralph also made it
clear that fresh eggs were
served everytime eggs were
served. “Some places serve
powdered or cartoned eggs. We
don’t, we have fresh eggs.”
Bach Portrays Woman
Muriel Bach, America’s
leading exponent of one-woman
theatre, presents a timely new
show called. Lady, You’re
Rocking the Boat!
In 50 exhilarating minutes,
Ms. Bach reveals intimate, witty
insights into the lives of six
women activists. Some are in
ternationally famous. Others are
little known or misunderstood.
They include Abigail Adams,
wife of the second president of
the United States and mother of
the sixth; Catherine Greene,
behind-the-scene catalyst in the
invention of the cotton gin;
Lydia Pinkham, author of the
fir^t book on sex education;
Eliza Young, Brigham Young’s
27th wife, who helped outlaw
polygamy; Gertrude Stein,
avant-garde writer and mold-
breaker; and Eleanor
Roosevelt, humanitarian.
Ms. Bach, with fastidious
toimg and attention to detail,
f^ts all costume and make-up
changes on stage in an unbroken
sequence.
She will appear at Howard
Chapel, Atlantic Christian
College, on Wednesday,
November 1,1978, at8 p.m.
About her professionalism,
Wallace A. Bacon, Chairman of
the Department of Inter
pretation at Northwestern
University, has this to say:
“Muriel Bach’s show is a
splendid example of the art of
interpretation. She gives us
finely sketched portraits of
women who made their mark on
history, and she makes them all
newly memorable today. The art
which Miss Bach practices is
demanding. She is one of the
finest, and she works with
consummate skill and exquisite
good taste.”
Also in Ms. Bach’s repertoire
are Ms. — Haven’t We Met
Before?, Madame, Your
Influence is Showing ... Because
of Her, and Two Lives.

Crumpler’s Cafe,
Italian Style
By DKBBIE DOSTEK
Good home cooking is ont> of
the best parts of going home; so
naturally upon returning to A C.
after mid-semester break I was
not particularly looking forward
to supper Wednesday night.
However, my body refuses to
function without food, so I
unenthusiastically set out for the
cafeteria. As I approached the
student center, I began to sense
that something was different or
unusual. Looking up to the
cafeteria, my eyes were sud
denly greeted with candles,
music, and red and white
checked table cloths. Lo and
behold, it was Crumpler’s Cafe,
Italian Style! Immediately, I
was suspicious. Could this be an
hallucination? This just didn’t fit
Ralph’s usual style. What was
Ralph up to, I wondered. Well, I
decided that there was only one
way to find out so I proceeded to
cautiously venture inside. Once
inside, I became even more
thunderstruck. The students
were smiling, laughing, and
enjoying their supper. I stepped
into the line and while waiting, I
had the pleasure of listening to
Chuck Seymtrur playing the
guitar and singing. Time passes
quickly while y(xi are having fun
and before IJ<npw it, it was time
for me to choose what I would be
eating that night. Tht> menu
consisted of lasagna, spiighetti,
ravioli, and pizza. My four
favoritesl How in the world was
I to decide? The pizza looked
good and I decided I was in the
mcMxi for it. I ttxik my tray, .sat
down, and ate my most en
joyable meal yet in the
cafeteria.
Italian night was so enjoyable
that I began to search for Mr.
Grumpier in order lo thank him.
I finally caught him, thanked
him, and asked him what had
motivated him to producing an
Italian night. He informed me
that he wanted to do something
nice for the students. When I
asked him if we could expect
anything like this in the future,
he cued me in about a Halloween
fiarty coming up shortly. I don’t
know what’s gotten into Ralph,
but let’s hope it stays.
