Rosemary (Across from Luby's) \ Old building becomes cafeteria Airmen’s center remodeled By RICHARD OLIVER Battalion Reporter Work has begun in the old Air men’s Service Center at the Texas A&M Research and Extension Cen ter on Highway 21 to convert it into a cafeteria, a University official said Friday. Lloyd Smith, associate director of food services, said, “It’s really just a change in location. There’s some construction involved to adapt the building to put a kitchen in.” Smith said there has been a food service facility at the Research and Extension Center for about 10 years, but now there is a need for better facilities. “It’s being built as a convenience because of the expanding programs out there,” he said. “There wasn’t a real need for cafeteria space until now. It’s a much better facility than what we currently have. Also, most people out there don’t have any other place to go to eat. The closest place to go is downtown Bryan, which is five miles away. It’s a 15- or 20- minute drive to get to the main campus, so there’s a real need.” Smith believes the move will be helpful due to crowded conditions in the current food service facility. “We re located right now in some dormitory barracks which were built just before they closed the Bryan Air Force Base about 10 years ago, so it really hasn’t been there very long. The kitchen’s really cramped, though. It’s tough trying to cook in a kitchen made from dorm rooms.” Smith said the new cafeteria’s board plan will be different from the MSC cafeteria board plan. “It will be a five-day operation.

The people living in dorms will be on a board operation, but there are sev eral instructors and staff people who eat out there also, so they’ll use cash and we ll just intermingle the two. It will be open to everyone who’s got the money.” Smith said the Airmen’s Service Center building is in good shape and the renovation should be com pleted by March 1. “The building is really in good shape, but it hasn’t beenii in recent years,” he; got some surplus from out there and some we’ve used in other plate spending about $30 tkoi some new things, in jut in refrigerator-freezer."
