Expired food remained on shelves

Students at UNCG may be purchasing expired
food products at any of the three convenience
stores here on campus. Until confronted, workers
at these locations had neglected to pull "shelf-sta-ble"
goods from their inventory, even though the
products were well beyond their sell by dates.
At all three food marts — particularly, the one
located in the Spring Garden Apartments — ex-pired
foods have remained on the shelves for an
extended duration. All were static, stale and com-pletely
available for consumption.
Surprisingly, students should not be concerned
with the meats and dairy sold; rather they should
be on guard towards the quality of the health
snacks, such as Odwalla Food Bars and Kellogg's

flavors that were available in the Spring Garden

between Nov. 27 and Dec. 24 2006. Carrot Rai-sin,

Students, statistics attest
to diversity at UNCG
Janine Camara
Staff Writer
It's a fact. UNCG is the most
diverse of the UNC systems pre-dominantly
white schools.
Its high rates of minority re-tention
were highlighted during
a WUNC radio show and won
Chancellor Sullivan an award for
distinguished Citizenship from
the Greensboro Chamber of
Commerce.
In the wake of the Jan. 20 phys-ical
altercation between Palestin-ian
college students and football
players on Guilford College's
campus, the question has been
raised on whether diversity is a
stepping stone or a stumbling
block.
"I really believe that in the end
[diversity] helps us," said sopho-more
Jeremy Beane, who felt that
the altercation looked like a hate
crime, though it is too soon to de-termine
the incident's true nature
according to a FAQ page about
the incident posted on Guilford
College's website.
"I don't think diversity is ever a
problem, I think people ignoring
it or not accepting it is a prob-lem,"
said junior Kia Davis.
"I really appreciate the Neo-
Black Society and Gospel Choir,"
Davis added. "I don't go home
often, I don't go to church often,
and they remind me of home and
those things that I miss about
home."
"Personally I can't live without
diversity," said junior Techeey-aw
Anderson, a Chicago native
who attributed her apprecia-tion
of diversity the entire city's
demographics.
"[Diversity] is applied to ev-erything,"
continued Anderson,
a senior International Business
Studies major. "When you invest
in stocks and bonds, what do they
tell you? Diversify your bonds, di-versify
your stocks."
Erika Fox, a junior commuter
student, said that diversity could
be both good and bad.
