Cafeteria at risk
Continued from page I
could lose its permit.
Other violations that were detect
ed in the last inspection included
a lack of soap in employee hand
washes, numerous dead light bulbs
in the kitchen, and "food debris"
under the dishwasher. The comment
sheet also read to "clean mold on
wall and ceiling in meat cabinet."
After the cafeteria found out its
dishwasher was faulty, it immedi
ately switched to disposable dishes
and silverware.
"Whenever we know there is an
issue we take the steps to feed the
students safely," said Watts.
The cafeteria's other two "B"
scores were received in Nov. 2006
and April 2005. The grade in Nov.
2006 was downgraded to a "B"
due to violations including lighting
problems, a dirty walk-in freezer,
and a messy walk-in freezer.
The April 2005 rating was hurt
due to violations including dirty wall
fans in the kitchen, lighting, dirty
produce cooler shelves, and a rusted
mixing bowl. The largest reduction
on the rating was due to problems
with the sandwich bar.
The cafeteria received a full 5-point
violation due to "potentially hazard
ous food ... temperature and/or time
requirements during storage, prepa
ration, display, service and transpor
tation." The rating's comment sheet
stated that the deli sandwich refrig
erator display temperature was eight
degrees too high. This violation was
the third occasion that the cafeteria's
sanitation rating had been deducted
due to an elevated temperature at the
sandwich bar.
Junior Brett Mcdonough has been
discouraged by the cafeteria's most
recent rating.
"The new sanitation grade makes
me want to eat in the cafeteria less
than I do now, which is never," said
Mcdonough.

Senate officers reflect on position changes,
the Bryan incident and student involvement
Deena Zaru I Staff Writer
A few weeks into the spring
semester, sophomore William
Vormelker replaced senior
Oiristopher Lampkin as Senate
treasurer.
Lampkin resigned about five
weeks ago.
"I resigned because I want
ed to focus on other things,"
Lampkin said, "like devoting
more time to studying for the
LSATs."
According to Vormelker, the
officer shifts were announced at
the Senate public meetings a few
weeks ago, and the news was also
posted on the Senate Web site.
"The treasurer change was a
bit of a surprise for me," said
Dean for Campus Life and Senate
advisor Aaron Fetrow. "But I
applaud Chris for making this
decision and putting academics
first, so he can prepare for his
future."
"Sometimes it's tough to get
used to the position changes,
because everyone has a different
style," said Senate Vice President
Katie Bailey. "There was defi
nitely a transition period for
a few weeks, but it went very
smoothly."
"Since we worked with Will
as business manager we knew
that he is very organized and he
got right on the ball with things,"
said Bailey. "He already got all
the requisition forms organized
and ready for budget hearings.
He will be an asset to Senate."
The treasurer is expected to
fulfill duties such as processing
the requisition forms from clubs
and attending Board of Trustee
meetings.
"I was fed up with the fact
that the Senate Web site had not
been updated and there was no
Webmaster," said Vormelker.
"I updated it as a side project
because it can help improve com
munication between the students
and the Senate."
According to Lampkin, it is
difficult for the treasurer to make
sure that club funding from the
Senate benefits the campus as a
whole.
"Many people complain that
CAB (the Campus Activities
Board) gets the most funding
from Senate," said Lampkin, "but
everything they do is on cam
pus. Many clubs don't bring their
experiences back to benefit oth-
ff
ers.
Currently, the Senate does not
have a business manager. The
officers handed out applications
for the position, but none were
returned.
"Given the amount of time
left in the new semester and the
time it takes to train a new per
son, finding someone now is not
worth it to me," said Vormelker.
"Yet, if someone is interested in
the position, I will be willing to
train them."
"Overall, I think this semes
ter is going really well," said
Senate President Wes Coming.
"I think (the officers) work very
well together. We don't always
agree, but that's important. We
have two-sided discussions, and
I like that."
Fetrow said that many stu
dents who are not members of the
Senate don't realize the tool that
it is for students to create positive
change in the community.
"A lot of times students see
Senate as a minion to the Board
of Tmstees and a representative
of the administration," said
Senate Secretary Lil Sharpless,
"but really we are a body of stu
dent voices."
"I see Senate's role as a gov
erning body for students to move
their voice upward," said Fetrow,
"and I see my role as an advocate
to help move the student voice to
higher authorities."
"Students don't always tmst
or use Senate as an avenue to cre
ate change because there is this
whole 'they' and 'us' thing," said
Sharpless. "But no one is blood
sucking here. In the end we are
all about improving the college
community."
According to Coming, Senate
has been taking active steps to
improve communication between
the Senators and the students.
Two ways to get involved
are to attend the Senate open
meetings in Boren Lounge every
Wednesday at 7 p.m. and stay
updated through www.guilford.
