Epicure Plans
by Forrest Hughes
The Cafeteria management
will soon be able to clamp
down more firmly on people
who fraudently use IDs to
obtain food. In an IV2 hour
long meeting on Wednesday,
Dec. 3, the Food Committee,
consisting of seven students,
Ron Short and Jim King of
Epicure Food Services, Jim
Newlin (guilford's Business
Manager) and Ken Schwab
(Dean of Students), decided to
ask the Judicial Board to do
more than reprimand people
who walk out with food,
present their friend's ID, or
otherwise misuse the food
service.
This is not a new issue. The
food service has reported that
about 10-15 people manage to
eat free meals every lunch and
dinner. On one recent steak
night, approximately seventy
four free steaks wereserved to
abusers of the food service.

Money lost by the cafeteria
on stolen food is reflected in
less diverse meals in the
immediate future and in rising
board costs in the long run.
The students end up paying
for the stolen food. Obviously,
something would have to be
done.
The first plan suggested by -
the cafeteria management
would be to make the back
door, which is intended for use
as a fire door, available for
that purpose only. Several
steps will be taken to ensure
that it is no longer used for
illegal entrances and exits.
People setting off the alarm
would be guilty of setting off a
false fire alarm.
Another precaution which
will go into effect will be an
added checker at the main
door. This way both the
picture and the number on
students' IDs can be checked.
Also, the students meal
number will be marked off a
master list. This addition goes
hand-in-hand with some
planned changes in the Grill
Room. Keep your eyes open
for them.

Benefactoi
Dana Dies
Mr. Charles A. Dana, a very
important benefactor to Guil
ford since 1959, passed away
in his Connecticut home on
Thanksgiving Day. He was 94.

ships, Dana Houses, as well as
help in the building of dorms,
New Founders, the back wing|
of King Hall and thel
renovation of New Garden and]
Duke Halls were made'
possible through this man's
great generosity and concern
for small colleges, especially
Guilford.
About $2.3 million of Mr.
Dana's wealth, made through
his auto parts manufacturing
business, was donated over
the years to Guilford, but as
Dr. Clyde A. Milner remark
ed, "The Dana contribution to
Guilford in terms of money
and encouragement simply
cannot be measured."
Dr. Hobbs, who attended
the memorial service in New
York this past Friday,
commented that, "It is a
certainty that his life and spirit
will continue to live in this
community deeply touched by
his warmth, wisdom and
generosity. Guilford College
has lost a great friend, but the
institution will be ever the
stronger because of the
interest and association of Mr.
uana and his family."
College
Takes
by Spence Hamrick
Wondering about the con
struction along College Rd. at
the campus entrance? The
State of North Carolina has
decided to connect College
Rd. with New Garden Rd. at
Friendly Rd. In order to do
this, they are swinging
College Rd. in front of
Hardees and will connect it
with New Garden at the
intersection of New Garden
and Friendly.
The present stretch of
College Rd. between Hardees
and Friendly will be blocked
off allowing for possible
commercial construction. The
new intersection was origi
nally due to be completed by
this New Year, but according
to Will Garner, an Assistant
Resident Engineer assigned
to the project, it will be early
March before it is finished.
relocating of
electric and gas lines are
blamed for the delay.
The New Garden-College
Rd. intersection is just part of
the Friendly Road Improve
ment Project, a massive plan
involving almost four miles of
Friendly. Once the intersec
tion is completed, plans call
for work to begin on the
widening of Friendly from the

new intersection to US 421 at
the airport. After that, crews
will begin widening Friendly
from Guilford to where it
becomes five lanes at
Jefferson Rd. According to
Garner, work on this end,
including part of our campus,
will not begin until next
October. The total project's
deadline is October 1, 1977.
Because of the widening of
Friendly, the college will loose
approximately .84 acres of
land including the present
front hedge and no less than
four of the huge oak trees that
line New Garden and
Friendly. In replacing the
hedge, the Department of
Transportation will plant an
English Boxwood hedge about
15 feet back from where the
present hedge is. The Guilford
College sign at the gate will
also have to be moved back to
accomodate the "improve
ments". The red brick gates, a
landmark of the college and
community for generations,
will remain intact.
When the plans for the
project were made public in
the early '7o's, there was a
wave of public complaints
against the widening by the
people who believed that the
so called "improvements"
would damage the f area's
historical value. They asked
for the route to be changed
1 and after lengthy court
hearings between concerned
citizens and the project's
planners, it was decided to
keep the Friendly Rd. route
but to have five lanes instead
of the originally planned
seven.
There has been no arrange
ment made for compensating
the college due to the loss
of land. The matter will
probably be settled later in
court.
Due to the coming of exams,
the exhaustion of budget and
staff, and the epidemic of
"Christmas vacation fever",
this will be the last issue of the
Guilfordian for the semester,
we wish you all an enjoyable
break from academia, success
on your exams and a safe trip
