When Mom Nonnie comes to town, everybody minds their manners at the table. Nonnie Cameron told a crowd of 165 well-dressed Ohio State students at the Faculty Club on Thursday to get over their hang-ups with etiquette and get with it.In a presentation sponsored by the Office of Student Activities, Cameron discussed the necessary etiquette for a business interview, from the moment students walk in the door until the moment they walk out. Cameron, a house mother for the Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity at Purdue University, owns a business called Image Matters. She travels to universities across the country, speaking about etiquette. “Tonight we are wearing our name badge on the right side so you are in alignment with the handshake,” said Cameron to a crowd that dutifully removed their badges and moved them to the right. Cameron stressed the importance of keeping your hands on top of the table – what she calls “hands above board.””Why are both of your hands showing? They wonder what they’re doing down there,” Cameron said. Cameron addressed such etiquette faux pas as double-dipping, using the wrong silverware, making a roll into a butter sandwich, shaking hands with cold fingers from a drink and sneezing at the table.”Double-dipping is when there is a big bowl of dip and you take a carrot, dip it, eat it and you double dip it. No, no, no,” Cameron said. “Someone asked me once ‘what if you flip the carrot?’ God no, but it was really creative.”Cameron’s solution to double-dipping was to pick up a small plate for dip and double-dip on your own plate. Other advice Cameron offered was not to announce you are going to the bathroom. Just excuse yourself and don’t put salt or pepper on your food before tasting it, she said.”J.C. Penney, when he first started his company, took managers and above out for a final interview,” Cameron said. “If they put salt or pepper on their food before they tasted it, he would not hire them because it was a sign to him that made decisions before collecting all the facts.”Amar Amin, a senior majoring in finance, asked what to do in an uncomfortable situation.”What if someone has something stuck in their teeth?” she said.Cameron responded with what not to do.”Do not sit there with your fingers and do not sit there with your fork and poke it out,” she said. “Close your mouth and move your tongue as best you can and if you can’t get it, excuse yourself.”Zakiya Smith, a graduate student in higher education, was puzzled once the rolls were served.”What do you do with the butter?” she asked.Cameron advised breaking the roll and spreading the butter on one side only first.Cameron’s list of etiquette blunders didn’t stop with food. She also addressed speech etiquette, such as saying yes instead of yeah, and politely excusing oneself from a conversation. Her final word of advice to students: “smile, attitude and the little things matter.”
