Hey. sugar.” she said as
she sent another contented
Itudaal on his way through th«*
service line “Hello, darlin’,”
she said with smile as she
doled out another plateful of
eggs -just like she has done
for the last 37 years.
“When she calls me sugar,
she makes my whole day
sweeter. 1 Dwight Freshley. a
University student, said of
Carrie Johnson, a stalwart of
Snelling A "Hey. sugar" with
every plate has become her
familiar trademark.
Students and faculty alike
fondly call her “Mamma,” and
Carrie treats each like one of
her own She gives advice to
the lovesick and always
brightens any long face. Carrie
once took her own money to
help a girl pay for lunch "I
just couldn't stand to see that
child go hungry." she said.
A friend once remarked to
Johnson about the preponder
ance of people that call her
“Momma.” “For a black
woman, you’ve got more white
babies than anyone I've ever
seen.” she said.
Johnson began working for
the University in 1941, sening
the Na.al students meals at
Baldwin Hall, for $7 50 per
week. She and her husband,
David, lived at Bray's Camp
^Profiles
(near Arnoldsville. Ga.) and
had to leave the house at 3
a m. in order to drop her three
children with the babysitter
and walk quite a distance to
the University to arrive by
four
“It was so dark when we’d
walk, the police were all the
time try in’ to pick us up!"
Johnson said as she rot. u
back hei head and laughed.
.ler husband recently retired
after 38 years as a University
employee and is presently
working as a social worker
The two are proud of their
eight children and eighteen
grandchildren.
“I spend mnt of n.y time
talkin’ on the phone to my
youngun's,” Carrie said with a
grin “There’s nothing I enjoy
more than my family.”
Johnson was born in Ogle
thorpe, Ga. in 1914. Her
parents were sharecroppers,
as were she and her husband
when they first married. She
tells of her childhood exper
iences in her one room
schoolhouse and remembers
“pulling her shoes off in March
and not putting them on again
’til cold weather came' as if it
were yesterday.
Even though Carrie prepares
food for a living, she still
enjoys cooking at home.
. i inily fa orites include turnip
greens with fatback, corn-
bread, and ’tuter pie On
Sundays, many members of
her church ongregation often
stop by her home after
services to take part in her
delicious "fixins.”
Alumni, faculty, and friends
always return to Snelling to
*ee Johnson and she remem
bers every face. Ask any
Snelling employee about
“Mamma" and their face wil*
light up. “I think the world t'
Mamm.i Carrie. She makes the
best fried eggs you've ever
tasted," one said
Both Carolyn Eaton, mana
ger of Snelling Hall and Glen
Gerreit, food servi.es director
agree that Johnson is a
wonderful person to work with
and added sh'* "is always in a
good humor."
Unofficially, Mamma Carrie
is the public relations director
of Snelling.

Student Government Presidential Candidate
Robert Crutchfield would like to see SGA
function in cooperation with other campus
organizations such as the University Union and
Communiversity instead of is a "separate and
isolated” entity.
Crutchfield, a senior majoring in political
science, officially announced his candidacy
Wednesday in an interview with "The Red and
Black.”
"There is a very definite and strong need for
more student involvement in SGA,” said
Crutchfield. “Such involvement can be
achieved by a union of campus organizations."
He also stated that SGA should make more
and better use of campus media
"‘The Red and Black,' WUOG, and ‘Impres
sion.’ if published, are excellent opportunities
to inform students," claimed Crutchfield "If
students were informed, they would not be so
apathetic."
Last year’s election of Roger Strauss, the
“Unknown Candidate," "epitomized campus
apathy," according to Crutchfield.
"Strauss’ campaign techniques and e'ection
proved that SGA was a farce," he added. "But
I think our campus government must be taken
seriously."
Although he believes that Strauss is a "nice
guy" and that his campaign was "excellent,"
he does not think Strauss has governed well
"Strauss was not seriously seeking the office
when he began his campaign so that when he
was elected, he had no goals in mind that !.e
wanted to achieve," stated Crutcnfield.
He added that former SGA President Rob
Hancock ‘ tried hard, but had too many
internal governmental problems to be an
efficient and effective leader.”
W^en asked if he had any gimmick campaigns
like Strauss' planned cr knew of anyone who
did. Crutchfield replied negatively.
He believes that the SGA president’s role is
"to unite the student body, to receive students'
ideas and suggestions openly, and to express
student needs to the University administra
tion.”
Crutchfield expressed disapproval over the
mandatory student activities fee.
"If students are not involved in any campus
organizations or do not attend any campus
events they should not have to pay any
activities fee.” he said. "However. I must
admit that it is impossible to run a government
or any other student organization without the
proper finances.”
