He has since taken an indefinite sick leave, he said. However, Moore told the Bryan- College Station Eagle when, if rele vant the reassignments were due to their opposition of Robert Smith's former plans to privatize the soon- to-be- built Sbisa Underground Food Court. At the Senate meeting, Russell Langley, speaker of the senate, said he drafted the bill partially in re sponse to the controversy. "This semester there has been a great deal published about what's been going on in Food Serivces and many questions have come up about personnel changes that have Liken place," Langley told the Sen ate and about 40 Food Sevice em ployees attending the meeting. "I think it's time the students know some of the answers to those ques tions and everything be put on the table." Ben Dale, Student Senate acade mic affairs chairman, agreed with Langley saying any wrongdoing must be exposed. "If something illegal happens, it doesn't matter who calls for it to be revealed," Dale said. "If an impro priety exists, it must be brought to light. I fully support this investiga tion." However, Floyd told the Senate the review would not investigate personnel matters and such an in vestigation would be detrimental to the department. "This is not an audit," Floyd said. "But rather a vehicle of im proving the department. We do not want to move backwards. Person nel changes will not be reviewed." Floyd said the review would ex amine things like management policies, pricing, food quality, facil ities, inventory and menu items. "Basically, the review will tell us who we are and where we're go ing," Floyd said. "It is a positive tool of improvement." He said he discussed the need for a review of the department al most a year ago with Robert Smith and was looking forward to even tually learning of its findings." "It is always good for outsiders to come in and make an unbiased evaluation," Floyd said. "It's a healthy way of learning your strengths and weaknesses. I'm sure the report will inform us of things we didn't know and conform the things we do." Gage, who had viewed the Sen ate's bill before it was presented Wednesday, said he apologized if he had miscommunicated the in tent of the review to Langley and Student Body President Brian Walker during a previous meeting. "I hope this hasn't caused any confusion," Walker said. "But the intent of the review never was to investigate past specific personnel matters, it is clearly aimed at the fu ture. But the bottom line is, we'll use whatever information comes out of the review to move the de partment in a positive direction." Gage added the review of Food Serivces is not the first of its nature for a University department. "The Physical Plant had a diag nostic review about two years ago," Gage said. "The results helped the department become more cost effective and efficient." He said to instigate the review, the University must complete a prescribed state process which con sists of determining the specific ar eas to be studied and procuring an independant firm like Cooper and Lybrand or Me Kenzie and Associ ates to conduct the review. The review will coincide with the ongoing internal audit of the department being conducted by permanent University auditors.

A 1994 GGIELAND Care Team Continued from Page 1 When an ambulance is need ed, a care team member radios their dispatch and an ambu lance is sent to the location. Chris Lolley has been with the care team for three years. He said he will continue to vol unteer when he finishes school. "I enjoy helping people," he said. "I feel emergency care on campus is very impor tant and necessary." N i k'k i W e h u n t said she joined the care team because it allowed her the oppor tunity to decide if she wanted to go into the health care field. "I enjoy working on the care team. I have been interested in the medical field since high school." Volunteering with the care team has been rewarding for Wehunt. "The best thing about being a care team volunteer is the satisfaction I get when I see I did something for someone else," Wehunt said. "Once in a while a patient will find me and give me a genuine and warm 'thanks' "I have gained a sense of pride by volunteering with the care team.
