Modern Cafeteria Provides
Cottage Cheese & Fruit Balls
It's 12:04, stomachs are
growling, eyes are bugging out
and your mind is pondering the
question of whether or not to
have cottage cheese and fruit
balls or a nourishing grilled
cheese and bacon bits sandwich.
Finally the long awaited bell
buzzzzzzzzzzzzzes in your
eardrums. You rush to the
somewhat new cafeteria, only to
find that 700 other students ran
just a little bit faster. You
calmly stand in line for the next
half hour, only to be confronted

Brown Brothers Come
Here From The Congo
by Larry Taylor
This is the first in a series of
stories pertaining to lives of
students who have lived in other
countries.
"Moundele!" This is how you
might be greeted upon entering a
Congolese village, it means
literally, "man with clothes on."
This bit of information was
provided by Ashland High's
experts on the Congo, senior
Kevin Brown and his brother
Scott, a junior.
Kevin andScott went to the
Congo in March, 1967, and left
last June.
The Brown brothers' most
basic criticism of the situation in
the Congo is based on their
disdain for what they consider
neo-colonialism. Kevin says,
"The people are trapped because
of white dominance in the
economics of the country. The
Congolese are also trapped
between their own traditional
values and Western culture."
There are two main social
classes in the Congo, according
to Scott and Kevin. In one are
the military leaders, politicians,
businessmen, and professionals.
The larger class is nade up of
the unemployed, those working
at menial tasks, and a few
employed at the homes of
whites in the Congo.
The Browns have little faith
that the government of President
Mobutu, which is supported
economically and militarily by
the United States and various
European countries, will change
the existing social order. They
do have hopes for the future,
though. As Kevin put it,
"Basically, the Congolese have
been dominated by the whites
by Denise Balog & Kacey MacGraw
with the following problems:
There is always the problem
with the jerk that is in front of
you who just can't decide what
delicious item he should buy. By
the time he has fooled around
deciding, you have forgotten
what you wanted to eat. So you
grab the very first thing in the
machine and go storming away
to another machine to get
something to drink.
Secondly, there is the fact
that when you are right at the
front of the line you find out
for so long that many
subsequently feel inferior to
them. However, there is a new
breed of Congolese which is
recognizing and demanding
complete socio-economic
equality.

that the guy in front of you
took the last cottage cheese and
fruit balls. In sheer anger and
rage you pick up frozen jello
cubes and whipped cream.
A very embarrassing situation
is when there are about 300
people in back of you, waiting
with foaming saliva glands and
the door to those good 'ole
cottage cheese and fruit bulls
gets jammed and won't open. All
the hungry people start
screaming and yelling at the
turkey in the front of the line. If
this unfortunate person just
happens to be a sophomore you
can be sure that he will stand in
front of the machine with a hall'
hysterical look on his face. He
just stands there for about five
long, long minutes. Meanwhile,
most everyone in the line has
turned into starving beasts ready
to devour anyone who gets in
their way.
The most irritating problem is
when you have patiently waited
for an uncountable number of
minutes to get those colorful
cottage cheese and fruit balls,
and some glutton cuts in the
very front of the line and buys
about six items to stuff his fat
face with. That is enough to
make you want to cram the food
and the whole machine right
down his throat.
Personally, we don't envy the
people who get down to the
cafeteria first because all they
are getting is the left ovtr
cottage cheese and fruit balls
from yesterday.
This is the first of two articles
written about the somewhat new
cafeteria. It is quite obvious that
we have discussed the good
points about the new lunch
system. The next article will be
discussing the disadvantages of
the cafeteria.
