The Human Resources Depart
ment will introduce its recently-in
stalled employment computers,
which will increase the accessibili
ty and services the office provides
to prospective A&M employees.
The computers are in the off-
campus employment office, and
the demonstration will be today at
11 a.m. in the employment office
facility located on University Drive.
The department began a Web-
based job listing in November of
1998, but prior to the computer in
stallation in the employment office,
prospective employees could only
access the human resources web
page containing applications and
information through personal com
puters or public-use computers.
Terry Jacques, staffing assistant
in the employment office, said the
demonstration is meant to publi
cize the new employment comput
ers which increase services to peo
ple who do not otherwise have
access to computers.
The newly installed employ
ment computers will simplify the
application process for prospective
A&M employees by allowing them
to access job openings and fill out
the required nine-page application
online while in the employment of
fice After filling out the online ap
plication. applicants submit it to
the office for job openings.
Larry Potts, associate director of
the Human Resources Department,
said the online-application process
will increase the accessibility of the

The Banalion
The Texas A&M University Food
Services Department will host a con
ference February 24-26 to discuss the
future of food service and promote
quality food service on school, col
lege and university campuses.
The 1999 Region VII National As
sociation of College and University
Food Services Conference (NACUFS)
will bring 150 representatives from
Region VII to the A&M campus.
Cindy Zawieja, associate director
of the Food Services Department,
said conference sessions will address
renovation, leadership, self-branding
and franchising.
Zawieja said they will use Sbisa
Dining Hall as a case study to teach
aspects of renovation.
“We will use Sbisa as an example
on how to get ideas for remodeling
and how to work with architects,”
she said.
Zawieja said during the past two
summers, food services relocated
Sbisa's dish room and added an en
tryway.
“By the year 2000, Sbisa should
also have new floors, roof and
plumbing,” she said.
She said the fast-food aspect of
Sbisa will change to a brand-name
concept with an international sec
tion and a 1950s diner. The regular
dining area will have a market con
cept.
Zawieja said self-branding and
franchising are the future of food ser
vice.
Examples of franchising are
Chick-fil-A and Whataburger in the
Underground Food Court, and ex
amples of self-branding are OF
