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

Badgett said campus security and

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.

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.
A Cities Service crew aboard an
offshore drilling rig in Corpus
Christi Bay prepared to sink the
barge from which it drills. The
idea was to make sure the tide-
lands rig could be recovered after
the storm blew out.
The Red Cross opened two
schools in Beaumont and one in
Port Arthur to house persons
evacuated from Cameron Parish,
Louisiana, hard hit by Hurricane
Audrey in 1957.

is about equal in volume. These
are the cafeteria-dining room,

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

In a sworn statement to County
Attorney D. Brooks Gofer Jr., the
former student said he had given
$40 in cash to Lynn Ray Carter,
25, suspended assistant registrar.
Carter was suspended last week
after bribery charges were filed
against him. He is accused of ac
cepting a bribe while employed by
the state. Suphachai Weoprasirt,
A&M student from Thailand, was
charged with bribing a state offi
cial.
Gofer said no charges were filed
against the former student, since
he voluntarily rendered the infor
mation.
The county attorney added that
he may include soliciting a bribe
in the case against Carter.
Both Carter and Weoprasirt are
free on $1,000 bonds and are await
ing action by the Brazos County

cused of accepting $100 from Weo
prasirt in return for changing a
