The balding, bow-tied journal

moderate his positions to avoid
alienating particular groups.
“McGovern was an unknown
until he took up the daring
causes needed for his primary
victory. Now he’s trying to get
off those limbs.”
The Brown University gradu
ate said Nixon has received fav

paigning, but by merely per

vine said. “More American
bombs have dropped there so far
this year than all of last year
and there are more American
troops in the Indochina area
than last year. However, since
there are less actual fighting
ground troops and less Ameri
can lives at stake, the issue has
cooled.”
The war is the most unpredict
able issue of the campaign, ac
cording to Levine. If a settle
ment is reached before the elec
tion people will ask why peace
could not have been arranged
three or four years ago, he said.
However, he continued, Nixon
doesn’t want to have election
time roll by with his embarrass
ing 1968 quote still hanging over
his head — “Those who have
had a chance for four years and
could not produce peace should
not be given another chance.”
The 1972 campaign, Levine
said, has been steered by some
freak accidents. “If the Chappi-
quidick incident had not occurred,
Ted Kennedy might have been
the Democratic nominee,” he
said. The shooting of Alabama
Governor Wallace and Senator
Eagleton’s neglect to mention his
medical past have also had a
profound effect, he said.
Levine said the 1972 campaign
is remarkable for its lack of is
sues. “The electorate is not eas
ily stirred and is only affected
by things which directly affect
the voter’s lives.”
The people, he said, have not
been disturbed by the large rate
of unemployment since it is
mostly found among those who
would vote democratic anyway.
The people with jobs, he con
tends, are apathetic towards the
unemployment rate since they
feel plenty of jobs are available.
In a question and answer ses
sion, Levine said the Watergate
affair, which involved the “bug-
,ging” of the Democratic Na
tional Headquarters, still re
mains a mystery and the people
involved should be brought to
trial before the election.
Levine said he feels Nixon’s
end-the-draft promises and Mc
Govern’s proposed cuts in mili
tary spending are attractive cam
paign issues, but will require
strong Congressional aid which
is not presently evident.
Levine was impressed by the
overwhelming number of small-
to-medium monetary contribu
tions received by the McGovern
National Headquarters in Wash
ington, D.C. He really admits
that he is not as certain of a
Nixon landslide victory as the
polls indicate.
Levine said private financial
contributions to campaigns are
“scandelous” and should be re
placed with some sort of public
aid.

The TAMU aquanauts will ven

They will use a self-contained

“We will have as complete

They cannot surface on one of

A mock election will be spon
sored by Political Forum Thurs
day, announced Mike Lindsay,
chairman of the Memorial Stu
dent Center committee.
Designed to sample student
opinion, the ballot will include
the option of voting a straight
ticket for president and vice pres
ident, governor of Texas, U.S.
senator, state treasurer and for
or against the 4th and 7th pro
posed amendments to the Consti
tution.
Four parties will be represent
ed on the ballot. These are the
Democratic, Republican, Socialist
Workers and La Raza Unida.
The fourth proposed amend
ment to the state Constitution is
one of those which the Texas
state legislature is famed for—
hard to interpret, said Lindsey.
“In simple terms, it means that
if you vote for the amendment,
you are in favor of a committee
being appointed by the 63rd leg
islature to study the need for a
new constitution. The committee
would report its findings to the
63rd Leigslature, which would
then convene as a constitutional
convention.”
The seventh proposed amend
ment would provide equality un
der the law to all, regardless of
sex, race, color, creed, or national
origin.
“Students are encouraged to
vote,” said Lindsey. “This is the
only way a direct sampling of
student opinion at A&M can be
obtained, since many Aggies are
registered in their home districts,
rather than in Brazos County.”
Polls will be located in the Me
morial Student Center, Sbisa and
Duncan Dining Halls, and in the
mall of the Academic Building
between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. Stu
dents should bring their ID and
activity cards.
ture.
Not surprisingly, the legisla
tor favors Amendment No. 1 on
the Nov. 7 general election bal
lot. The amendment raises law
maker’s salaries from the $400
per month — before taxes — that
has been in effect since 1960 to
$700.
Two other amendments deal
ing with public officials’ pay are
on the ballot:
—No. 11, setting the House
speaker’s and lieutenant gover
nor’s salaries at $22,500 a
year. They now make the same
as legislators, except the lieuten
ant governor gets a little extra
when he is acting governor.
—No. 3, eliminating the fee
system for justices of the peace
and putting all of them on a
salary basis.
The legislative pay rates seems
to be getting the most attention.

‘Ghetto Sounds’ To Perform Friday
“The Ghetto Sounds,” will be
featured at a dance Friday to be
held in Sbisa Dining Hall from
9 p.m. to 1 a.m. through the com
bined efforts of the Black Aware
ness Committee and the Civilian
Student Council.
The dance band performed at
A&M last spring during Civilian
Week Weekend and has been
hailed by many as one of the top
rhythm and blues bands in Texas.
“The Ghetto Sounds” has also
performed on Bourbon Street in
New Orleans, combining rock and
jazz with their act also.
The group is composed of Tom
Burton, vocal, alto sax and man
ager; John Reason, guitar and
vocal; Michael Dogan, base; Nor-
vel Holmes, drums and vocal;
Melvin Dismuke, French horn
and trumpet; Ronnie Banket,
congas and bongo; and Fred Rad-
lif, trombone.
Refreshments will be available

New Recipes, Foods Goal Of Commons Cafeteria Dietician
EXAMINING FOODS is one of the many duties fulfilled
y Krueger-Dunn cafeteria’s dietician and assistant man
ger, Rebecca Teague. Here, she and Elizabeth Ruble, left,
erutinize one of the mixed salads prepared for Krueger-
)unn’s many gourmets.
By VICKIE ASHWILL
Staff Writer
“I like to experiment and try
new recipes in the commons cafe
teria,” said Mrs. Rebecca Teague,
assistant foods manager for the
Krueger-Dunn cafeteria.
“When I came here, all I had to
work with was a list of military
recipes,” said Teague. Since then
she’s added personal recipes and
recipes from Purdue University
where she spent the past three
years working in food services.
Teague is a graduate of Abi
lene Christian College and has a
degree in Vocational Home Eco
nomic Education. She is the only
one on the staff with a degree of
this kind. She is now at A&M
while her husband works on his
Ph.D. in a research assistantship
in mathematical soil physics.
“I was shocked to see there
were no professionals working
here when I came,” said Teague.
“I was used to Purdue where
managers and supervisors were
required to have a degree.”
There were no back records for
food services when she arrived,
according to Teague. Therefore
all food orders were put on a
guess basis until some sort of
record could be formed.
“I set up my own bookkeeper
system in order to know exactly
how much to order,” said Teague.
Teague also places orders for the
snack bars in the commons and
in the golf course club house.
“We have a lower food cost
per person here than at Sbisa,”
she said. “This is because we use
all of our left-overs.
All the food in the cafeteria is
fresh daily, she continued. After
two times the meat is tossed out
and creamed sauces and gravies
go immediately.
“I watch everything so we
won’t run out or so it won’t spoil.
I keep rotating the meat in the
freezer so it v/on’t get old,” she
said.
The cafeteria offers everything
on the menu set up by the uni
versity menu board and more.
For instance, the salad bar of
fers fresh fruit, cottage cheese,
yogurt and chief’s salad every
day.
Hamburgers made of 100 per
cent pure beef and hotdogs are
also offered Monday through
Thursday nights whether they
are on the menu or not.
“I’m so excited about my job
here,” said Teague. “I guess it
gets in your blood. I’ve always
been interested in home eco
nomics.”
Besides being in charge of all
food orders for the cafeteria and
snack bars, Teague also is in
charge of total cleaning.
“I’m a fanatic on cleanliness,”
she said. “The floors of the cafe
teria are washed twice a day and
any in-between spills are cleaned
up immediately. All my em
ployees must wear hairnets,
white uniforms and comfortable
shoes.
“On Fridays,” Teague continued
Ed Hein, the food manager, and I
eat lunch with some of the girls in
the cafeteria so they can tell us
what they would like more of and
what they don’t like about the
cafeteria.
Teague likes to keep her mind
refreshed about new ideas for
serving and preparing the meals.
Everything on the hot counter
and salad bar is always garnished
to make it have eye appeal, said
Teague.
She has found that students
like steak, roast beef and shrimp
the best of the entrees while fruit
pies are the favorite desert. Pas
tries, excluding cream pies and
puddings, are baked fresh at the
Duncan bakery.
“Cokes and food are not al
lowed out of the cafeteria in or
der to keep the upstairs of the
commons area cleaner,” said
Teague.
Books are not allowed in the
cafeteria as they take up table
space, she continued. The dining
area is just for eating and to get
away from studies long enough
to enjoy the food and social at
mosphere of the area.
ORDERING FOOD for choosy students is no easy job
and as dietician for approximately 700 girls, Rebecca
Teague has to be ‘picky’ in the foods she selects for con
sumption. The Krueger-Dunn cafeteria assistant manager
is shown here giving a close to look at her list of foods to
be ordered.
