I haven't visited this website in over 8 years, but I searched for my admin details to log on and answer this question. USMA 16 here, so things may have changed since, but below is my experience. Table duties certainly play a factor into whether or not the table has enough time to eat; but...

Well, yeah. My counselor, very unfortunately, has reached the 4th stage of cancer. He has been my counselor for the past three years and I was really counting on him to help me with the admissions process. It was very unfortunate and I really wish him the best of luck. He is an awesome guy...
