Food Removal Issue Investigated
Students Must Leave Cups In
Dining Halls, Explains Dollar
■Students must leave their
ups in the dining halls,” said
Jol. Fred Dollar late Thursday
.fternoon in a brief meeting held
\rith several student leaders at
ibisa. “They really have no per-
lission to move them out.”
Hhis was one of many com-
nents made by the Food Services
lirector of A&M’s three main
lining halls for board students.
Bollar later discussed the over-
■problem in a meeting of the
Jivilian Student Council.
Hoe Arredondo, a member of
BSbisa menu board, maintained
bt cup ‘guards’ placed at the
linjng hall exits were really un-
plled for since all they were do-
Br was creating a negative atti-
pe among the students.
j|Just because people protest a
■tain action,” said Dollar,
‘doesn’t mean we should make a
ihinge in policy.”
|Dollar said he had personally
hdught students would be in
ajor of stopping people from
tong extra cups and food from
he dining hall since it was cost-
■ extra money.
Hi would guess we are losing
ipproximately $250 per week in
jarbonated beverages alone,” said
Hlar. “Who is going to stop
t? Students will carry the whole
Hce off if we let them. If they
Hit to vote to carry out every-
hing, that’s fine with me.”
■rredondo said he had talked
■ several waiters at Sbisa and
Kde an “on the spot” survey of
■dents who ate at Sbisa. All
ft said they could not see a
rood reason for posting guards
it the door.
LHe noted that waiters had told
lini there had been a significant
Hrease in the number of un-
ftsed trays and added that the
yaiters didn’t fully understand
Ihy they were guarding the
door.
He said he had received con
fused and upset answers because
students had not been informed
of w'hat w'as going on and why.
Dollar said that in the past he
and his staff had looked the other
w r ay when a student walked out
of Sbisa wdth some food, but with
the advent of carbonated drinks
and a marked increase in loss of
money due to the cost of the car
bonated drinks, some form of ac
tion had to be taken.
When Arredondo said he could
n’t believe that the cost of drinks
taken out of the dining hall was
more than the cost of paying the
waiters to guard the doors, Dol
lar told him that the carbonated
drinks cost approximately five
cents per cup, including the cost
of the cup, and that he estimated
that approximately 1,500 students
w T ere taking cups and drinks out
of the dining hall at each major
meal.
Referring to the guards, Dollar
stated that this service would
help keep Food Services from los
ing money which w r ould be used
on major renovations in the din
ing hall.
CSC Discusses Costs,
Reasoning For Policy
“DOLLAR DIPLOMACY’ behind the recent enforce
ment of the policy forbidding food and cup removal from
Sbisa dining halls was explained Thursday night to the
Civilian Student Council. Col. Fred Dollar, Food Services
director at A&M, answered questions about the sudden en
forcement.
SC0NA XVIII Planners Visit Washington
Idea inputs to the 18th Student Telecommunications, and Clayton
Conference on National Affairs
topic, “The Controlled Society,”
were broadened by Chet Edwards
and Phil Smith recently in Wash
ington, D. C.
The SCONA XVIII chairman
and vice chairman spent four days
at the capital in late September
for visits and talks with various
governmental and other officials.
They met with Cong. Olin E.
Teague, Clay Whitehead, director
of the White House Office of
Olsen, president of the National
Student Lobby, among others.
TAMU’s Student Senate voted
this week to join the NSL.
“The purpose of the trip was
to gain a better understanding
and perspective of important and
/•elevant issues concerning our
topic,” explained Smith.
Edwards and Smith, working
with 70 other students on the
Feb. 14-17 conference, have four
months remaining to finalize all
aspects of SCONA XVIII.
Edwards noted that the con
ference fund drive has reached
about 50 per cent of its goal.
SCONA must pay its own way;
no student fee funds nor univer
sity monies go into its budget.
“The success of our summer
fund drive is being proven by the
inflow of contributions,” Edwards
commented. “The Christmas drive
should bring SCONA XVIII up
to its budgeted level.”

“The increasing number of stu
dents taking drinks and food out
of Sbisa Dining Hall prompted us
to put guards at the doors,” ex
plained Fred Dollar, director of
Food Services, to the Civilian
Student Council Thursday night.
“There has always been a rule
prohibiting taking food out of
dining halls,” Dollar noted, “but
we’ve been looking the other way
until now. But it is now costing
us money.”
“It is costing about $250 a week
in carbonated beverages being
taken out. I’ve also seen students
take out stacks of ice cream and
several sandwiches,” Dollar said.
“The only way to allow carry
out is to issue a limited amount
of food to each student,” said
Dollar. “But I know of nowhere
else that allows one to eat all he
can, then take some more out.”
Much of the controversy over
the recent enforcement of this
rule is due to not having had it
explained to the students or wait-
ex - s beforehand, said Joe Arre
dondo, Sbisa menu board member.
“Many of the people I talked
to are not going to bus their
trays until this is changed,” said
Hughes Hall President John Beth-
ancourt. “And many are trying
to leave with full cups and then
throwing them away when they
can’t take them out.”
“Board students who eat in
Duncan Dining Hall have always
had guards at the door, and it is
a normal thing,” commented Paul
Zinser, Utay Hall president.
“There is no reason why everyone
shouldn’t be made to abide by
the same rules,” he said.
“The civilians who eat in Dun
can don’t give us trouble about
taking out food, but the people
in the Corps are the ones who
give us problems now,” comment
ed Dollar.
A plan was proposed by Paul
Gugenheim to distribute an in
formation sheet at the noon and
evening meals next week telling
the administration’s reasons for
the enforcement, including costs.
The Council passed this as a mo
tion and Dollar agreed to do it.
Dollar also agreed to remove
the guards at Sbisa until the in
formation sheet could be distrib
uted and a more detailed cost
analysis could be made. Mean
while, the menu board will work
on this problem and listen to
complaints.
The Council also approved a
new uniform residence hall judi
cial system. It provides for each
hall to have a judicial council
which will provide violators with
a “trial by peers,” said CSC Pres
ident Mark Blakemore.
Penalties defined in the sys
tem are admonition, weekend re
strictions, reprimand, restitution
and removal from a residence
hall.
A judicial council ruling can be
overturned by appeal to the Dean
of Students, noted Blakemore.
In addition, the Council ap
proved an addition to the system
to cover residence halls not owned
by the university. All residence
halls will he bound by judicial
council rulings, regardless of
ownership or rental.
The growing problem of inade
quate fields for intramural activ
ities was emphasized by Paul
Gugenheim. He explained plans
to build an intramural complex
across the railroad tracks were
jmeeting administration opposi
tion. He appealed to the Council
for support on this issue.
Schumacher Hall President
Shariq Yosufzai made a motion
for CSC backing of a “feasibility
study” to make Schumacher Hall
co-educational. He noted the de
sign of the hall and its location
as its principal selling points.
Blakemore announced the ap
pointment of Joe Hughes as chair
man of the Public Relations Com
mittee.
Cars Must Be Moved Saturday
Campus Police Chief O. L.
Luther reminded students that
their cars must be moved from
parking lots 9, 31, 48 and 49 be
fore 10 a.m. Saturday, in prepar
ation for the Texas Tech football
game.
Luther asked students to park
in the areas north of Ross Street
and towards the front of the cam
pus. He also said students could
move their cars back after the
game and when the traffic sub
sided.
Parking lots 49 and 31 are ad
jacent to Kyle Field. Lot 49 ex
tends along the back of the cam
pus on the north side of FM 2159.
Parking lot 9 is adjacent to the
main drill field near Old Main
Drive.
Chief Luther also noted that
students were cooperating in re
moving their cars from the rail
road track area near the south
side of FM 2159.
Twin States Procedure For
oca ting Harassing Callers
■There are several ways to stop
larassing phone calls depending
ipon the individual involved, said
Bill Irwin, general manager for
General Telephone Company in
Bryan.
jThere is an unusual situation
jmcerning annoying phone calls
the Krueger-Dunn complex,
inee it is a dormitory, said
rwin.
“I would encourage anyone to
terminate the call as quickly as he
can. Usually a caller will repeat
the call if he is encouraged. If
the receiver hangs up, the haras-
ser will often quit,” said Irwin.
The General Telephone Com
pany should be notified if anyone
in Bryan-College Station is re
ceiving a continuation of harass
ing phone calls. The phone com
pany can put a monitor on the
phone line.
“In the past you had to keep
a caller on the line in order to
trace a call,” said Irwin. “But
Plans For ‘Honor Park’ Considered
K A proposal was made to re-
todel Spence Park into an honor
park at a meeting of the Campus
Wanning Committee this week.
■ Mike Bunch, former pledge
class president of Alpha Phi
Omega, made a presentation of
plans and drawings of future
sights of various memorials now
jkated all over the campus. The
AMU UF Drive
Exceeds $18,000
Contributions to the University
Jnited Fund Drive now exceed
$18,000, announced Personnel Di-
ieetor H. Ray Smith, who heads
this year’s campus campaign.
I The drive officially ends Sat
urday, but Smith said any univer
sity employees who have not yet
ontributed but wish to do so may
till submit their gifts to de-
>artmental or office chairmen.
TAMU’s eampagn is conducted
n support of the College Station
United Chest, which has a goal

bell in the rotunda of the Academ-
is Building would be one of the
many memorials transferred to
the Spence Park exhibition.
A brick walk would be posi
tioned in the park so people could
walk around the exhibits of all
plaques, bells, statues, etc. which
are now memorials or markers on
campus.
Objections were aroused, and a
committee was raised to make
modifications on the original pro
posal. The committee showed
definite interest in doing some
thing to make Spence Park a bet
ter place, but the mode is un
known as of yet.
It was further suggested that
the area behind the maintenance
administration building now serv
ing as storage for tractors and
other construction apparatus could
be transformed to a natural study
center. The center would consist
of study carrels, an amphitheater,
and a place where notices could
be posted informing students of
up-coming events on campus.
Other proposals now under sur-
veilance are central malls on cam
pus, mass lighting, rejuvenation
of the area next to the Oceanog
raphy Building, and others. Rob

with the equipment we have now
one just has to hold on to the
line.”
A customer request for line
tracing must be filled out by the
individual receiving the calls after
notifying the local law enforce
ment. In the case of Krueger-
Dunn this would be the University
Police. This form is used to pro
vide court evidence against the
caller.
“According to state law, every
person convicted of obscene, an
noying, harassing or intimidating
telephone calls shall be punished
by imprisonment for not less than
one day nor more than one year
or by fine of not less than $100
or more than $1,000 or by both
such fine and imprisonment,” said
Chief of University Police O. L.
Luther.
In the case of a student there
may also be possible disciplinary
action on the part of the univer
sity, said Luther.
“Our intent is only to stop this
type of call and we intend to co
operate in every way to help stop
the problem,” said Irwin.
