Broyhill Trip By Greg Carpenter Staff Writer A group of Broyhill Business School stu dents and faculty visited Washington D.C. Oct. 20-23. The tour was arranged by North Carolina representative Cass Ballenger in association with Russell Hardin. The students visited the FBI building, the White House, the Supreme Court building, Arlington Cemetery, the Capitol Building, and numerous monuments. At the Capitol Building, students were al lowed to sit in on sessions of the House of Representatives and the Senate. Ballenger arranged these visits so that students might be able to see first-hand how the legislature conducts business. Hardin emphasized that the trip was a definite learning experience. He added that the majority of the students making the trip had never been.to Washington D.C. According to Hardin, all who took the trip had a very enjoyable time. Student Concerns About the food... I am writing concerning the meals in the cafeteria, ...a complaint from the students for some time. Residential students are re quired to pay for a meal plan each semester, and, therefore, try to eat in the cafeteria as much as possible. The atmosphere in the cafetesia has im proved over the past two years but the food has shown little improvement. I understand we have a food committee that is designed to relay complaints and suggestions to the food service. According to members of the committee the point is not getting across. When there are banquets..., the food seems to be spiced up to impress parents and guests. Our complaints then seem invalid. My question is "is the school paying the service the proper amount of money re quired to provide good meals, or is the food management deficient on their part?" If the meals do not improve, soon the students here will all turn into hamburgers and hot dogs!
