Bill C.rimsley explain audience, and a nervous volunteer, just how his mester. But the semester wasn ' t over yet. On Thursday November 1.5 in the to the Grill Room things got a little crazier magic and a little louder. The Red Herring Trio presented their musical mayhem and instrumental insanity. Playing trumpets, guitars, bass fiddle, ukelele, harmonica, xylophone and even a saw, the three musicians left quite an im- pression on those who went to the Grill Room that evening. And finally in Sternberger Auditorium the Coffehouse season for the first semester came to a close on December .5 just before exams began. The Big Zucchini Washboard Bandits presented lively, raucus, and rousing music that provided an unusual evening ' s performance.

The Big Zucchini Washho; Bandits filled Sternberger with a vast collection of so: and music. And they even lived up to their name playing a washboard on stage. Coffeehnuses ln

Worth The Wait ■■ sah itwe ' »»lsi. During spring vacation of 1984 work was begun on a large addition to the cafeteria. After a summer of heavy rains which delayed completion, the addition was finally opened after fall break. And it was quite an opening indeed. The tables were covered with table- cloths and candles for the occasion, and the food was spectacular. The expan- sion itself allowed for 100 new seats with a portion of this in the new 50 foot long greenhouse-type room; which for the grand opening also held the dessert table. Needless to say students flocked to this section immediately. The open- ing was a success. But even when the opening was complete, students still found themselves gathering in the new portion of the cafeteria to enjoy the bet- ter social atmosphere of the now less crowded cafeteria. Even the neon-green carpeting of the greenhouse room could not deter students from basking in its sunlight. And when one reflects on the cafete- ria of the past year there are many oth- er qualities about it which come to mind. As a growing tradition at Guil- ford, the scramble system maintained its existence by constantly cramming as many starving students as possible into as small a space as possible so that only a handful of servers could attempt to feed them. This characteristic of crowd- ed meal times more than once prompt- ed some discouraged student to remark, This appears to be a good night for a pizza. And of course each student has at least on one occasion forgotten his or her ID when rushing to get to dinner. Various excuses used to convince the checkers of a student ' s honesty have in- cluded, Trust me, My roommate left it in my room when he locked me out, and I ' ve got one but the picture is so bad I ' d rather not show it to you. But no matter what the situation, when it came time to eat, it was time to put down the books and take a study break at the most frequented place besides the mail room, dorm room, or even the library . . . the cafeteria. tion took m cost of $450,000.
