More food for
thought on
privatization
While I was amazed that
most students misunderstand
the issue of privatizing several
of the satellite Food Service op
erations, I was absolutely dum-
founded that Ronald Hornback,
a member of the Student Senate
who had studied the issue for
two years, demonstrated the
same misunderstanding.
Privatization, as proposed in
this case, is the contracting out
of the Underground Food
Court and other facilities to a
corporation such as Marriott,
the hotel giant, to bring in fran
chises such as Taco Bell and
McDonald's.
Why do we need Marriott to
handle these franchises? The
answer is, we don't.
The University could admin
ister the franchise rights direct
ly if it wished. However, Mar
riott has made a lucrative offer
to the University administra
tion for these rights. This is all
well and good except for the
fact that Marriott is not just
making a grant to A&M. Over
the course of the contract, it
will make a very good profit —
at our expense.
There is nothing wrong with
making a profit from the stu
dents until you realize that this
represents money leaving the
University for no good reason
at all. Marriott brings nothing
to the table that we can't get for
ourselves. All Marriott is offer
ing, in effect, is a high interest
short term loan. So why would
our administrators consider
such a proposition?
The answer to that might be
found in the preemptive firing
of the director of Food Services
Thursday,
for no apparent cause, the si
lencing of the food service
managers and staff, and the po
tential that the chief bargaining
agent for the University i
have received or have reached
an agreement to receive per
sonal benefits from Marriott in
exchange for the deal going
through.
Where is The Battalion
the Student Senate whenit
comes to being our watchdog
here?
I think Food Services si
be more efficient. That is pre
cisely why I am against de
stroying the economies of scale
that make the board rates as
reasonable as they are today,
I also like competition. But,
whether the operation is home
grown or contracted out, com
petition ceases once the names
are signed on the dotted line.
After that, it is a race for
the contractor to make all the
money he can before that two-
year contract is over. Will he
reinvest during this period for
long-term benefits to the oper
ation like what we have now!
That would be like throwing
money away from his per
spective.
I understand that we, as stu
dents, do not have the time, in
terest, or business acumen to
look over the contract ade
quately before we jump in bed
with Marriott. That is why we
must ask ourselves these fun
damental questions now.
When there is a possibility
that an administrator is not act
ing in our best interest, we
must demand a thorough and
complete investigation. We
have only ourselves to blame if
we don't. What will future
classes think of us if we did any
less?
