Food Service Plan Effective The consolidation of all food service activities on campus, in cluding those at the Memorial Stu dent Center, has proven “most suc cessful,” Tom Cherry, director of business affairs, said. The merg ing of MSC food service with that of the dining halls began a month ago. “The consolidation adopted for compelling reasons offers a num ber of advantages,” Cherry said. He reported that other univer sities are placing all campus food service under one director. Frank F. Nugent, food service director, now is responsible for MSC food operations as well as those at Duncan and Sbisa Dining Halls and the Research Annex. “Our volume has gone over the $2,000,000 mark in the Department of Food Service,” Nugent said. The advantages of centralized purchasing for the consolidation food service is listed as a major factor in the new plan. Other advantages include unified training programs for tfye 450 food service employes and centralized butcher shop and bakery opera tions. Nugent said the employee ranks are divided evenly between full-time and part-time employes, ALONG THE CAMPAIGN TRAILS Johnson Pledges As Security For By The Associated Press President Johnson pledged this lation’s awesome power Thurs- iay as a tool for peace and said he day of “government by ulti matum” is gone forever. He told a Johns Hopkins Uni- 'ersity audience the nuclear age lemands restraint and understand- ng among mankind but also a will- ngness “to stand up and be minted when there is a choice be- ween freedom and slavery.” Hubert H. Humphrey blazed a [,700-mile campaign trail Thurs- iay-bucking high winds and dodg- ng storms — and charged that Barry Goldwater is a radical and “not in any way in the real sense a Republican.” Goldwater and his followers Humphrey said, have seized con trol of the Republican party “and nailed the battle flags of nuclear adventurism and domestic tumult to the mast.” Humphrey made the charge in Tacoma, Wash., after carrying his aerial campaign from Iowa to North Dakota, Montana and into Washington. Sen. Barry Goldwater accused his opposition Thursday of con- ductnig a “lie-filled campaign” Parking Improvement Project Scheduled To Begin Monday Students residing in Dorms 1-12 will have improved, enlarged park ing facilities as the result of work scheduled to begin Monday, weath er permitting. Completion is ex pected within two months. The project which includes black lopping the gravel lots and en- hrging them to 385 spaces—an in crease of more than 120—was an nounced by W. Howard Badgett, director of the University Office of Physical Plant. The contractor is B-W Leasing Inc. of College Station which sub mitted the low bid of $32,487 to die Board of Directors. Badgett said campus security and commandant’s office staff are Working out details of temporary parking assignments for students nsing the lots to be blacktopped. Most of the students will park temporarily in the “Navasota” and "Hempstead” lots. Others may park along the west side of Throck morton Street from the chancellor’s residence north to Lubbock Street and on the south side of Lewis Street from Bizzell west to Spence. The entrance to the lot just south of Dormitory 12 will be re located from Coke to Lewis Street and entrances to all lots will be widened to 24 feet. Power Peace and playing “the game of politics” with foreign policy. In one of his hardest hitting speeches of the campaign to date the Republican presidential nom inee called President Johnson “an interim president to whom every thing is just a political game.” President Johnson’s “war on pov erty” was assailed by the Repub lican vice-presidential nominee Thursday as “a socialistic ap proach — a cruel hoax” with the sole purpose being an attempt to “buy votes for Lyndon Johnson with the taxpayers’ money.” “The President is trying to kill a giant problem with a political popgun,” Rep. William E. Miller said of the program being hailed by Democrats as a major achieve ment for the national administra tion. Republicans in San Antonio, Gal veston and Houston prepared Thursday for a show of strength for GOP vice presidential nominee William Miller’s second Texas visit Friday. Hurricane Hilda Expected To Strike Gulf Coast Today Houston hfb—Hurricane Hilda, a dangerous, severe storm with deadly winds up to 150 miles per hour, swirled nearer the Gulf Coast Thursday night and a wide area girded for the expected blow. Small craft scurried for safe harbors. Oil companies battened down their mobile oil rigs. Hurri cane watches went up at Beau mont, Houston and Wharton. Col. Homer Garrison Jr., head of Texas’ state police, alerted the State Defense and Disaster Coun cil. The Red Cross, state police, and newsmen-photographer teams rushed to the area. Hurricane watches were in effect from Galveston to Mobile, Ala. Winds in the area were expected to reach gale force Friday.

The MSC food operations are divided into three phases and each is about equal in volume. These are the cafeteria-dining room, Foundation Room or snack bar and catering. About 2,000 cups of coffee are served each mornnig in the cafe teria-dining room. The Depart ment of Food Services serves more than 15,000 meals daily. “The excellence of the food serv ice program can be attributed for the most part to the loyalty and dedication of the cooks, bakers and many other specialists who serve on the team,” Nugent said. “We are proud to have the food service employes from the MSC as a part NUGENT of the team.” The food service director said MSC personnel including Director J. Wayne Stark have been “most helpful” during the transition period. Immediately in charge of the food operations at the Center is Routhal V. Ray who has 21 years experience in food service. The West Virginia native retired as a chief commissaryman after serv ing navy personnel ashore and aboard submarines and surface ves sels. His last assignment was in an advisory capacity in the Far East.
