Mrs. Pittman extended a special invitation to all fanners By JOHNNY PARKER For those of you who were crusing through Hampton, Va. Friday night, October 3, 1975, maybe you were able to fork up J5.00 to see Fleetwood Mac and Loggins and Messina in concert. Fleetwood Mac appeared on stage first. They gave a very inspiring set by playing songs off their new album, “Heroes are Hard to Find,” and “Bare Trees.” Their performance was good but wasn’t quite as tight as they should have been. The highlight of their act, I thought was “Spare Me A Little” with Christie McNie on vocals. Loggins and Messina followed Fleetwood Mac on stage and broke into an acoustical set by (daying “Danny’s Song”, “House Cafeteria Minutes at Pooh Comer”, and others. This was really good but they rushed through them too quickly by not playing the songs all the way through. It seemed as though these songs were preliminarys to the actual concert. The electrical set was more than enough to make up for the rushed through acousic set. They played songs like “Changes” and “Growing” off their MOTHERLODE album. During these songs Messina gave some spectacular solos using his Fender Telecaster. Loggins' vocals were almost flawless. They and their backup band were very tight. Special note should be given to the fiddle player who gave brilliant solos. The highlight of the concert was “Angry Eyes” the last encore which lasted at least ten minutes. in the area, those involved in agri-business, and others in terested in the subject to attend the programs. “Agriculture is such an im portant part of our life in this area,” Mrs. Pittman explained. “It’s indeed fitting and proper that we salute this industry that is so valuable to the growth and well-being of this area and each Mie of us living here,” she added. She said the sponsors were fortunate in obtaining the ser vices of such qualified, able men in the field of agriculture.” She said they wUl provide “many r»-acUcal helps in the field of agriculture tiiat will make at tendance a must for all who are interested in what lies ahead in the immediate future as well as for the next decade. October 10,1975 Mr. Sutton welcomed the student members and expressed a desire to have some freshmen students on the committee. He stated this committee was the means of communication with the students to solve problems and improve situations in the cafeteria. The management of the cafeteria by Mark Four was explained to the members. The student members present are to be commended for their mature thinking and over all presentation of situations they desire changing or questioning way things were handled in a given way. Robert Walker had made a survey before coming to the meeting. This was presented and discussed. Suggestions were as follows: 1. Too many starchy foods 2. Not enou^ eggs 3. Larger serving of orange juice ECONOMICS SPEAKER — Shepherd Booth, account executive for Wheat First Purities Inc., Rocky Mount, N. C., recently spoke on stocks to Mrs. Rachel nttman’s economics class at Chowan College. Member, from left, are Stuart Morrison of McLean, Va., Michael Sipe of Macon, N.C., Harry Baird of Petersburg, Va., Curtis Randolph Roger, Jr. of Norfolk, Va., James Lawrence of Suffolk, Va., and Myron Whittenburg of Hen dersonville, N.C. 6. Donuts are soggy (Humidity problems) 7. Hamburger steaks not too tasty. 8. Serve more ice cream 9. Attitude of cooks undesirable — Need training 10. Would like to see the peanut butter & jelly for sandwiches available again. 11. Salad open — flys in cafeteria 12. Soiled silver and dishes Student members commented about a better quality of food being served this year in com parison with last year. Mr. Sutton explained with the budget as set up last year, we were not prepared for the rapid escelation of food prices. The cafeteria lost money last academic year. Comers had to be cut. He also stated there is a bigger food budget this year and if the students will cooperate, there will be quanity and quality passed on to the students. For example, the happy surprise of steaks last week. The peanut butter and jelly sandwiches could be used again if the students would not take the food back to their rooms in large portions. There is consideration of using canned orange juice so a larger serving may be obtained. A quick line will be opened after mid-term for breakfast. This will be sweet rolls, donuts, or other finger foods. A donut machine is being considered for use in the cafeteria. Since the hamburgers used are of a thin variety, it was decided to rotate serving the thicker ones on one occasion and the thin one on another since two thin ones were usually on each plate. Individual containers of ice cream will be served soon. With the weather becoming cool soup will be added to the menu soon. There seemed to be agreement by the committee that we have some good cooks and workers. Also noted was a grouchy person going through the line usually provokes a grouchy answer. Different methods of preparing certain foods were suggested and met with approval. More supervision of the dish washing, particularly the soaking of the silver prior to washing was suggested.
