Lackmann Reaches Out to Students
by Dave Fuller
Running a food service is a difficult task for any catering and dining service especially when there are several thousand customers. At Adelphi, Lackmann Culinary Services deals with both compliments and complaints about pricing, food variety, and overall quality of service on a daily basis. In response to complaints, Lackmann has taken many actions to improve in every area of service.
The first significant change was the reduction in price of many of the C-Store items last semester. Several items such as deodorant, milk, popcorn, and bags of candy were lowered by two dollars from their original selling prices. In total, 64 items are now sold at cheaper prices.

Montag leaves a
nursing legacy behind
|
by Jessica Lancia
Mildred Montag, Adelphi University's first director of the School of Nursing, died at noon on January 21, 2004. She was 95 years old. In an email sent to the entire campus, President Robert Scott described Montag as "a visionary nurse educator whose innovative research and inspired teaching led to an unprecedented expansion of the nursing profession, bringing countless benefits to the health and well being of generations." Montag served as director of the School of Nursing, created to supply war services during the Second World War, from its founding in 1943 until 1948. She left to attend Columbia University's Teacher's College, completing her doctoral studies. She used her dissertation, which proposed educating technical nurses in a two-year time span and funding from the W.K. Kellogg foundation, to implement her idea in seven pilot programs in universities. Her programs gained wide-spread success and helped to alleviate the dire nursing shortage. During her five-year stay at Adelphi, the number of graduates increased from 27 to 500. Today's School of Nursing boasts over 6,300 alumni. [ more... ]

The most recent B. Fleischmann album, Welcome Tourist, begins dubiously. The man speaks in native tongue over blips and beeps, his voice filled with the type of soldierish quality that only German can truly convey. [ more... ]
