‘Miss Jo’ Implements Suggestions
An effort to improve food and
service in the cafeteria has been
instituted by the college dietitian.
Miss Mary Jo Humpston, through
the use of suggestions received
from students.
According to Miss Humpston
(pronounced “Umpston”), who
prefers to be called “Miss Jo,” a
suggestion box was set up “to
reduce the monotony in the long
drag from January to May.”
First, efforts are being made
to reduce the amount of grease
in the food as evidenced by the
addition of 'wire racks in the serv
ing section.
In another effort to please stu
dents Miss Jo has added coffee
servers by the center posts on
each side of the cafeteria. She
plans to have Parmesan cheese
for spaghetti as well as several
new salad dressings, she said.
Also, in the near future students
will be allowed eight pats of but
ter as one item and a half pound
of sugar to carry out as another.
Food rates at Mars Hill are
considerably less than at many
other colleges. Miss Jo pointed
out. Because students pay for
meals on a semester basis rather
than in cash, the purchasers can
obtain food in large quantities at
lower pricer. This benefit is
passed on to the students.
Efforts are being made to ob
tain a larger grill for the cooking
of hot cakes and steaks. Miss Jo
noted that the food value in four
ounces of lean ground meat is the
same as that of four ounces of
steak and costs only about one-
third as much.
As might be expected of an ex
perienced dietitian (Among her
previous places of service are
Morehead State College and her
alma mater, Carson-Ne-wman.),
Miss Jo is interested in good eat
ing habits as well as in good cook
ing habits. She frequently reminds
students to watch their eating.
A well-balanced meal three times
a day is essential to attaining and
maintaining good health, she
points out.
As one vitally interested in each
individual student. Miss Jo says
she is glad to listen to every well-
intended comment or complaint.
“Any suggestions are welcome,”
she said. These may be given to
her personally or written out and
given to one of the cashiers.
Obviously enjoying her work
despite its problems. Miss Jo has
been impressed by the students
during her first year at Mars Hill.
“As I have said several times
to your teachers and your parents,
you are the nicest group of stu
dents I have ever worked -with.
My guess as to why? It’s because
you are the ‘studyingest’ group I
have observed.”
Then, with a grin she stated her
working philosophy: “When you
eat right, you think right; and
when you think right, you do
right.”
Caldwell Promoted
A promotion from assistant to
manager of the Student Center
has been made to Donald Cald
well Jr., effective Jan. 1, Presi
dent Hoyt Blackwell announced
Wednesday.
Donald Caldwell Sr. will con
tinue as manager of the cafeteria.
A graduate of Mars Hill and
Western Carolina, the younger
Caldwell has been employed in
the Student Center since mid-
1962.
