of Food Services but had
switched offices and been reas
signed new duties. 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.

When an ambulance is need

Chris Lolley has been with

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
