Dining on campus is fun ... or is_ it?
Students question merits of eating in Aggieland
□ Complaints center around
the quality of the food.
By Kristen Homyk
The Battalion
Despite higher prices, students at
Texas A&M may eat healthier if they
choose to eat on campus, A&M’s food ser
vices director said.
Ron Beard said food service prices on
campus seem higher, but the students are
buying a better product.
“We aim to have our level of quality very
high,” Beard said. “We work at it very hard.”
Beard also said the Department of
Food Services is “an auxiliary service,
meaning we have to rely on what we gen
erate as revenue” to continue operations
and make improvements.
The food services staff has made nutrition
a main concern, he said, adding food items
low in fat, products low in sodium and vege
tarian food to many of their dining facilities.
Wayne White, member of the Student
Life Advisory Council and a junior history
major, said Beard’s staff provides the best
quality they can.
"The quality of the food has improved so
much it's not funny,” White said. "Consid
ering what they’re doing and the quality of
the food, the price is not that outrageous.”
However, some students and faculty
members disagree on the quality of campus
snack bars.
Todd Foulds, a senior electrical engi
neering major, said he stretches his budget
to visit the snack bars several times a
week, and feels that the quality “is a little
scarce for the price.”
Foulds said the food is fine, but the prices
and service leave much to be desired.
John Bitter, a junior veterinary student,
said even though he does not favor the
prices, he still likes the dining facilities.
“It’s expensive, maybe too expensive,” he
said. “But I’d rather pay that than not have
the service.”
"The quality of the food has im
proved so much it's not funny."
- Wayne White
Student Life Advisory Council member
Patti Matejka, an A&M veterinary
technician, said she likes the service and
convenience associated with the snack
bars, but explained that her situation is
different from others on campus because
she is not a student.
“It’s different when you have an inconi;
Matejka said. “It’s harder for students.”
Beard stressed that students should!
welcome to comment on the service thej
ceive in any dining hall or snack barbyt
ing out a comment card.
“I read every one of those,” he said, “at
if someone will leave their name and
dress, we will personally reply.’’
The Student Life Advisory Councllii
welcomes new members or comment!, 8i
dents may contact the council through nut-
tioniet Vikki Beck at 845-1333 or throw

Food services brings bit of variety to dining hall
□ The Department of
Food Services is trying
to improve the dining
atmosphere by making
low-fat foods available
and allowing students
to choose new items.
By Lisa Johnson
The Battalion
This Wednesday’s cereal fes
tival serves as the latest event
in a series of special attractions
to promote on-campus dining.
The cereal festival, a
monthly occurrence, brings
new products to the dining
halls for students to choose
from to be added to the 14
types of cereal already offered
daily in the dining halls.
At the festivals, question
naires will be available for stu
dents to fill out to give input on
what cereals they would like to
see included in the next festival.
A banana split party in the
dining halls is scheduled Oct. 5,
and an Italian food day is
scheduled Oct. 11.
Vicki Beck, administrative
dietitian, said the events help
break the monotony of the din
ing hall atmosphere.
“When dining on campus, the
food gets routine,” Beck said.
“These different food days help
to bring variety to the menu.”
In addition to the festivals
and food days, food services on
campus have added more veg
etable and light entrees to the
menu this year, as well as the
fast food features that accompa
ny the choice of two regular en
trees per meal time.
Beck said the Department of
Food Services decides upon
such changes with the help of
the Student Advisory Council.
“We, along with the Student
Advisory Council, decide on
menu changes and additions,”
she said. “The council helps to
keep the administration abreast
of the students’ desires.”
The councils, one for each of
the dining halls and one to col
lectively represent all of the
cash dining facilities on cam
pus, meet once a month.
Composed of student volun
teers, the councils test new
products and make adjust
ments to recipes and brands of
foods served on campus.
Wayne White, a junior histo
ry major and a member of the
council for the Commons Dining
Hall, said he gets three to five
calls from students per week
ranging from general comments
to specific complaints like “cold
mashed potatoes.”
White said the opinions of
the council get great reception
from the administration.
“The school has really got
ten an undeserved bad rap as
far as listening to the students
is concerned,” he said. “What
you want, you really do get
there. Food services real
cares about the input oft!
advisory council.”
White, a second year vok
teer on the council, said
number of people dining
campus increased this sen;
ter. White credits the chan;
in on-campus dining toE
Beard, director of food servii
and said quality has gone
100 percent since Beard t:
over the position.
Kim Ostiguin, a freshi I
general studies major, agrt;
that campus food services
vides quality products.
“I think that the food
campus is excellent,” Ostignf
said, “especially when you coif
sider how many people th(
serve here each day.”
Students are welcome to a!
tend council meetings as guest ,
to voice their opinions. Star
dents interested in becoming
member of the council can coif
tact the manager of their dinittl
facility for information on
taining an application.
Media weigh decision to run terrorist’s manifesti
□ The New York Times and the
Washington Post decided to
jointly publish the Unabomber's
35,000 word essay.
Trail of the Unabomber
NEW YORK (AP) — Journalists will ar
gue for years about the agonizing decision by
The New York Times and The Washington
Post to publish the 35,000-word manifesto of
the terrorist known as the Unabomber.
In the din of debate Tuesday, though,
there was one patch of quiet agreement. Edi
tors and scholars around the country shared
a sense of relief that they weren’t the ones
on the hot seat.
“I’m glad, as most editors in the country
are, that it wasn’t my decision to make,” said
Sandra Mims Rowe, editor of The Oregonian
in Portland. She added: “I think they made
the right decision.”
In the theoretical de
bate, the lines were
drawn between those
who said the two news
papers were acting in
the public interest, and
those who said the
Times and Post had sac
rificed their journalistic
independence and set a
dangerous precedent by
caving in to a killer and
extortionist.
The Unabomber, who
A 17-year run of package bombings is code-named
Unabom because early bombings targeted universities
and airlines. The Unabomber claims to be part of an anti
technology anarchist organization he calls the “FC,” but
the FBI believes the Unabomber works alone.

is blamed for killing three people and injuring
23 others in a 17-year campaign of bombings,
sent the manuscript to the Times and Post in
June, two months after issuing a demand: If
at least one of the newspapers would print his
manifesto, he would stop killing.
He also demanded that the newspapers
print three annual follow-up publications.
He gave the newspapers a three-month
deadline. Five days short of the deadline, the
Post published a special, eight-page section in
Tuesday’s editions containing the entire text
of the Unabomber’s essay on the evils of in
dustrialization. The section was published un
der an agreement by both the Post and Times,
and paid for by the two newspapers jointly.
The Post estimated the cost at $30,000
to $40,000.
The publishers of the newspapers, Dor?
Graham of the Post and Arthur Sulzberger^
of the Times, said they had agreed to prints
manifesto at the urging of Attorney Gene-
Jane t Reno and FBI Director Louis Freeh.
“Neither paper would have printed
document for journalistic reasons,” C
said in the Post. “We thought there was;'
obvious public safety issue involved
therefore sought the advice of response
federal officials. We are printing it for puW :l
safety reasons, not journalistic reasons.”
