Rotten Meat?
Food quality disputed
By JAI JORDAN
Recently there has been a petition
floating around campus concerning
I several supposed cases of food
poisv/..ing caused by "rotten meat"
served by the cafeteria.
The petition states that the
cafeteria has been serving rotten
which has resulted in several
cases of food poisoning. Food with
harmful materials such as ground
glass, and low quality food resulting
in unremitting cases of stomach
cramps have also been reported.
Last Wednesday, the petition was
presented to the Senate where it was
•deemed libelous.
The Senate concluded that a
jurvey should be drawn up under
the direction of the Food Commit
tee and those concerned students.

Williams concert total success

The lights dim and the warm
spotlights glow as a bearded, long
haired, downright "freaky" looking
man opens a box and removes a
battered 12-string guitar. The
man? Mike Williams, who calls
'Himself a hippie. The guitar? An
extension of the man.
With a deep "Howdy" to the
audience, Mike opened his concert
at 8:00 last Friday night with an
instrumental "4/4 waltz." With
eyes closed, he strummed the music
of his soul to a small but respon
sive audience in Sternberger.
As he played 'The Drifter and the
Rodeo Queen,' more people
drifted in. Mike asked, "Why
you people late?'' (No answer.)
This survey is to be distributed in
the cafeteria asking for suggestions
for improvement.
Concern about the quality of food
over the years has lead to a perman
ent Senate- committee called the
Food Committee. The Food Com
mittee was organized for the benefit
of STUDENTS in order that they
might express their concerns about
the management and activities of
the Guilford College Dining Hall.
Presently the committee consists
of four Senate members, one inter
ested student, and Shirley House,
the manager of the dining hall. As
a group the committee has planned
events like McDonald's night, Satur
day brunch, and steak night.
However, six students can not
Williams doesn't feed reporters
very much in an interview. He
speaks to them in his monologues
between songs and through the
songs themselves. He aims to
please his audience, and he does it
quite well.
Why is his music referred to as
"people music?" Because it is
about people, and because people
can identify with his lyrics and
music. "Some of my best songs
come out of conversations," says
Mike. "Real life has given me a
number of great songs.''
The audience enjoyed William's
rendition of "Hey, did you happen
to see the most beautiful egg in
the world? And if you did, was
she fryin'?" This is only a small

every student. Instead of signing
ineffective and unfounded petitions

mative action. Students interested
in positive change should attend
food committee meetings and voice
their opinions.

humor. ("Beam me up, Scottie.")
The variety of his selection went
from heavy country style to a
medley including Ravel's "Bolero"
and the Beatles' "Norwegian

Beautiful," "West Texas Lover,"
"Ghost Riders," "Dumas, Texas"
(pronounced dum' as), "Berkeley

He is so warmly human that the

swaying to his music. Even as he
replaced a string, (his guitar is going
through menopause), he sang a
