—Restaurant Report—
By BRIAN PEARSON
Senior Staff Writer
The restaurants listed below
were inspected by the Brazos
County Health Department be
tween March 31 and April 4. The
information is based on food
service establishment inspection
reports.
David Jefferson, a registered
sanitarian at the department, says
restaurants with scores of 95 or
above generally have excellent
operations and facilities. Jeffer
son says restaurants with scores in
the 70s or low 80s usually have se
rious health report violations.
Scores can be misleading, Jef
ferson says, because restaurants
can achieve the same score by
having several major violations or
an abundance of minor viola
tions. He says the major violations
might close an establishment
down while some minor viola
tions can be corrected while the
health inspector is still in the
building during the inspection.
Jefferson says the department
might close a restaurant if the
score is below 60, the personnel
has infectious diseases, the res
taurant lacks adequate refrigera
tion, a sewage backup exists in the
building, or the restaurant has a
complete lack of sanitization for
the food equipment.
Point deductions, or violations,
on the report form range from a
one point (minor violation) to five
points (major violation). The de
partment inspects each restau
rant about every six months.
Sometimes a follow-up inspec
tion must be made, usually within
10 days. Jefferson says a restau
rant might require a follow-up in
spection if it has a four- or five-
point violation that cannot be cor
rected while the inspector is still
there or if there are numerous
small violations.
Inspectors are registered sani
tarians at the department.
SCORED 95 OR ABOVE:
• Igloo’s at 817 University
Drive in College Station was in
spected by David Pickens. Score
— 99. One point was subtracted
in the report because an em
ployee was not wearing a hair re
straint.
• Deb’s Deli at 404 University
Drive E. in College Station was in
spected by Mike Lester. Score —
97. The report showed a one-
point violation for some dirty
shelves. Another point in the re
port was subtracted because a
dumpster area needed cleaning.
A third point in the report was
subtracted because of a dirty
floor in a cooler.
• Egg Roll House at 200 Uni
versity Drive E. was inspected by
Mike Lester. Score — 97. The re
port showed a two-point violation
for trash that wasn’t in plastic
bags. One point in the report was
subtracted for dirty vent filters
and cooler shelves which were too
low to the floor.
SCORED BETWEEN 90 AND
94:
• Chicken Oil Company at
3600 S. College Ave. in Bryan was
inspected by David Plett. Score —
93. A four-point violation in the
report was given because some
gaps leading to the outside of the
building needed to be sealed.
Two points in the report were
subtracted for an ice bin that
needed to be drained. The report
showed a one-point violation for
a “filthy” floor in a cooler.
SCORED BETWEEN 85 AND
89:
• Laredo Bar at 313 S. College
Ave. in College Station was in
spected by David Pickens. Score
— 88. Four points in the report
were subtracted because of an
abundance of cockroaches. The
report showed a two-point viola
tion for dirt and fungus in an ice
machine. Another two points in
the report were subtracted be
cause some juice and syrup bot
tles had no caps on them. Four
one-point violations were given
for a backed up drain and leaks in
some plumbing, a hole in a ceil
ing, an old hot water heater that
needed to be removed and a dirty
ice machine and bar area. The re
port said a follow-up inspection
will be made in 14 days.

Regent urges oid for upgrade
Goals for library not being met
By Mary Ann Harvey
Staff Writer
The Sterling C. Evans Library has
never met goals set for Texas A&M
by the Board of Regents, Regent
William A. McKenzie said Friday at a
meeting of the Friends of the Ster
ling C. Evans Library.
“I could stand here today and tell
you what a great library we have, but
it would not be true,” McKenzie told
about 70 group members. “You
know it, I know it and Sterling C.
Evans certainly knows it. This library
has never matched the goals that we
set for Texas A&M University.”
McKenzie said the library lacks
support.
“I’m told that recently a nation
ally-known librarian wrote that
‘Texas A&M did not deserve the li
brary that it has,’ ” he said, “the
point being that the University never
supported the library as it should ha
ve.”
McKenzie told supporters that the
University has a good start on im
provements because of its excellent
library staff.
“During the past few years they
have used the limited resources at
their disposal to greatly enlarge the
access students and other scholars
have to books,” he said.
McKenzie said something else is
needed besides a dedicated staff —
money.
“By analogy, I used to say the five
ingredients to a sound political cam
paign were, first, a good candidate,
in other words, the Sterling C. Evans
Library,” McKenzie said. “Secondly,
volunteers such as staff and good
friends. Thirdly, money. Fourthly,
money. And, fifthly, money.”
He said the library’s budget for
next year is about $6.6 million.
“It’s just enough to maintain the
status quo,” he said. “However, the
status quo is just not enough. We
need to do better.”
McKenzie said he recognizes that
progress is being made but said
more is needed. He said the Board
of Regents recently approved using
$1 million from the Available Uni
versity Fund to improve the library’s
holdings.
“More is needed, however,” McK
enzie said. “We cannot have a great
research university until we have a
great research library.”
McKenzie asked supporters to re
dedicate themselves to working for
the library and to give what money
they could.
“In doing so, you will help in your
own way to make this University
great,” he said. “We’ve got a long
road to go.”
Students named 'outstanding juniors'
By Karen Boehnke
Reporter
Excellence in studies and extra
curricular activities has earned two
Texas A&M students the honor of
being selected by Time magazine as
two of the 100 most outstanding col
lege juniors in the nation.
John Humphries, a civil engi
neering major, and James Cleary, a
history major, received their awards
March 31 at a presentation dinner in
New York City.
Part of the application process was
demonstrating evidence of excel
lence in a specific area of extracurri
cular involvement.
Cleary’s main area of involvement
is Student Government. He is cur
rently the vice president of academic
affairs and was a candidate for stu
dent body president. His grade-
point ratio is 3.7.
Humphries is involved in interna
tional student groups and programs
to promote international under
standing. Humphries’ GPR is 3.9.
Cleary said he was pleased when
he learned of being chosen as a fi
nalist, but he didn’t think he’d get
that far.
“If someone were to have told me
when I was a freshman that I’d get
Jim Cleary
this far, being vice president of aca
demic affairs, selected as one of the
top 100 juniors in the country and
running for student body president,
I would probably have laughed and
thought it was pretty funny,” he
said.
Humphries also said he was
pleased and said he wants to use the
publicity from the award to call at
tention to the programs he is work
ing on.
“I thought the most exciting thing
John Humphries
for me was the opportunity to give
some publicity to the international
programs I am involved with,”
Humphries said.
Humphries said he became in
volved with international programs
when he was chosen as one of the
top 100 high school juniors in the
nation and was awarded a special Ja-
pan/U.S. Senate Scholarship. As part
of that program, Humphries visited
Japan as an exchange student.
He is currently working as a re
search aide for a graduate student
from Sri Lanka. Next fall, Hum
phries said, he will study in Sri
Lanka and work on rural devel
opment projects.
While Humphries is in Asia,
Cleary plans to keep busy closer to
home.
He said he wants to continue par
ticipating in Student Government
while pursuing his education. He
also plans to work on an Undergrad
uate Fellows project and find a way
to finance his post-graduate educa
tion.
Both Cleary and Humphries at
tribute their achievements to hard
work and enjoying what they do.
But hard work is only part of it,
Humphries said.
“It’s partly being in the right place
at the right time and taking advan
tage of opportunities that have been
open for me,” Humphries said.
Cleary said he thinks he works at
things a little bit harder than other
people.
“I enjoy school, and I like learning
new things,” he said.
