When I was a
freshman...

As graduation starts to draw
near for seniors on campus, I start
to think back to the year that the
class of '97 entered. Some things
have changed since then, some
haven't. No one had heard of Don
McNemar yet, or seen his huge
smile. But Max Carter's chimney
was already making the campus
smell like a lumbeijack camp in
the mornings. Anyway, if you too
are a senior, I hope this section is
a little nostalgic. If you came here
a little more recently you might
find it a bit funny to see what Guil
ford used to be like when I was a
freshman...
When I was a freshman Guil
ford seemed a little smaller, a little
simpler. You occasionally saw a
Guilford sweatshirt, but the book
store had yet to come up with such
enticing merchandise as Guilford
College—the carabineer keychain,
Guilford College—the zipper tag,
or Guilford College—the engraved
brick.
When I was a freshman,
Pie Works included these giant gal
lon jugs of sweet lea or purple juice
with your order. They kinda tasted
like crap but we all got 'em. It was
the year Boston Market opened
and they sent mass-mailed hiring
flyers to every student's box. Of
course, there were so many mili
tant vegetarians back then that a

Put down that hamburger
and french fries! Right across
the street, there is a place
where the food entices. This
place is Kim's Korean Restau
rant, located behind Quaker
Village near the Pizza Hut.
The first time I came to the
restaurant, I had no idea what
to expect. I wasn't too familiar
with Korean food, and truth
fully, I didn't know think I'd
like it. My friends assured me
it would be a wonderful expe
rience.
The atmosphere at Kim's is
unique. White linen covers the
tables, while contrasting with
the big-screen television dis
playing sports..Calming music
plays throughout the restau
rant, which is complimented
by an aquarium near the front.
When deciding what to eat
here, do not plan to eat any
thing beforehand. It doesn't

lot of the flyers got returned with
slogans like ""Boston Chicken
Auschwitz" scrawled on them, but
some students applied. Most of
them worked as greeters for the
people in line, like a strange cross
between KFC and the Gap.
When I was a freshman, Guil
ford didn't have a homepage; no
one had really heard of the internet
yet. We were technologically ad
vanced just for knowing words like
e-mail and Minesweeper. That
year some joker loaded Civiliza
tion (a big game for the time) onto
Bauman's shared hard-drive. Two
or three people would play it and
the lab computers would screech
to a halt. Rascal was still an in
fant system that would seem to
crash at least once a day. It didn't
really matter then, though; most of
us only knew 3-4 people off cam
pus with e-mail accounts.
We didn't shop at K-mart be
cause it was kinda crappy; we
didn't need ethical reasons.

Bates Motel reigned as the last

whole school could go and get
wasted regardless of race, gender,
or legal age. That is, until it got
condemned and ever since most
students have had to stay on cam

matter what you order-you will
leave feeling full.
After ordering, you receive
about five or six side dishes.
These vary from time to time,
but usually include kim chee-
Korean spicy cabbage—along
with fish, seaweed, octopus,
and some vegetable-based
items. Most of these sides are
spicy, but your waiter keeps the
water coming.
The main entrees consist of
beef, chicken, noodle, fish,
vegetable, and pork dishes. My
personal favorite: yakitori
(chicken and green onions
skewered in a sweet wine
sauce) and fried rice (very light,
with flavorful seasonings).
Some of my friends' favorites
include beef bulgoki and bibim
bab (vegetables and rice with
beef and egg). Your meal also
comes with either Miso soup or
white rice. There is also a full
sushi bar.
After the meal, Kim's puts

was a sweet cinnamon tea, and
the last time, oranges.
The prices here
range .depending on if you or

Kim's embodies everything
you need in a restaraunt: a
unique atmosphere, friendly
waiters/waitresses, a conve
nient location and great food
even for the close-minded, like
me.
So, when you and your
friends are wondering what al
ternative to the cafeteria you
will eat at this weekend, think
ethnic, and think Korean. And
before you know it, you will be
