Dear Chancellor Ferguson:
I have a daughter, Jeanne, who is a freshman at the University
of North Carolina at Greensboro.
She called me last night at 11:30 saying that she was confused.
The cafeteria workers are on strike, and the Student Government
is going to support the strike and use the money that the
students had paid for Student Government fees to pay the cafeteria workers while on strike. The Student Government is going
to serve doughnuts and hot dogs and other similar trash so that
the students would not eat in the cafeteria.
She said she felt this was wrong because, first, she had paid
money to the college for the privilege of eating in the cafeteria.
Secondly, the Student Government should not take their money to
pay cafeteria workers while on strike, and she did not want to
eat this junk the Student Government is talking about serving.
She asked my opinion as to whether I thought she was wrong and
the other students were right. I told her that her thinking was
clear and sound, and I only regretted that these other students
did not have that much sense and that she had my backing 100 per
cent.
Now, the question is this: If this is true and they cannot eat
in the cafeteria because of pickets or otherwise, certainly their
money should be refunded for the meals they could not eat.
Secondly, their money which was paid to the Student Government
should not be paid to cafeteria workers on strike. She said she
had never seen the pickets at the cafeteria before, and apparently
they are from out of town.
I would appreciate your looking into this matter.
Yours very truly,
