Chabotar Visits Community Senate
Meal-Plan Dominates Conversat
Development of Strategic Long-Range Plan Also Discussed
James E. Tatum
Editor-in-Chief
Surveys show that Guilford
students are most satisfied with
their academic experience, while
they find student life the least
satisfying, Kent Chabotar re
ported when he visited the Com
munity Senate meeting Wednes
day night.
Chabotar attended the 6:00
p.m. meeting in the Gallery to
take student questions and con
cerns about the college and a
present Guilford's latest initiative
to develop a strategic long-range
plan. He had made a more ex
tensive presentation on the long
range plan at the faculty meet
ing earlier that afternoon.
"I thought the questions
were tough, I thought the follow
up questions were fair," Chabotar
said about his impressions on the
Senate meeting.
"It has given me some addi
tional food for thought, especially
in terms of some specific con
cerns about the cafeteria I did
not know about before."
The college meal plan was
the issue that generated the most
questions from students, particu
larly about what is being done to
improve the quality of the food,
and possible changes to the plan
in the works for next year.
Chabotar began by saying
that there had been changes
made so far in areas such as
hours of operation and range of
options, though not necessarily

all of them good.
"My problem with the cafete
ria, sometimes it's too uneven,"
Chabotar said. "Sometimes, I go
in and the meal is not too bad at
all. Other times I go in I'm going,
huh?"
Chabotar said he felt the
problem of food quality did not
stem from the food itself so much
as the equipment in the cafete
ria.
"We've got steamers there
that are 40 years old," Chabotar
said. He indicated that new
steamers had been ordered, but
the wrong ones had arrived, so
new ones had to be ordered.
"That's a screw up which I have
to take responsibility for be
cause I am here. They should
have been in place way before
now."
"Last fall we made some
commitments to get them here,"
Chabotar said. "Now they have

been ordered; they will be in
stalled, but they are late." He
also said the problems in the
cafeteria were multifaceted, cit
ing staff training as another area
that needed further attention.
