Zawieja said that, by enforcing the student rules, Food Services can be fair to everyone. “It is a change to a culture that has existed for a long time, but it's a change that everybody is going to have to make,” Kaylor said. “Food Services isn’t giving you an option — if you are going to come in and throw food, then you aren’t going to be al lowed back in their establishment.” Zawieja said that, when people are not properly clothed or wear grodes, it creates an unclean and unsanitary eating environment. “I don’t think they would go to a restaurant in town dressed they way they were,” Zawieja said. However, Zawieja said, she is willing to work with student groups so their dining experience can be fun. “If they want a food fight to hap pen, maybe I will set up some tables outside, give them a couple of pies, and we will put some hoses out there so if they want to have a mess, they can have a mess,” Zawieja said. “It is just not fair to our employees to have to be a part of that and clean up a mess and stay later. “Everybody really respects a lot of Aggie traditions... and I am not sure Viking and being ‘grodey’ is a ‘good- bull’ thing,” Zawieja said. “1 don't have staff to go out there and baby sit kids when they get unruly. It would just help if they would have a little bit more responsible behavior for themselves.” Zawieja said Residence Life has sent residence hall staff members into the Commons to report students for disciplinary action. RickTurnbough, a Residence Life official in the South Area office, said Residence Life does not currently have staff members policing the din ing facilities, but is ready to have them on standby if needed. Turnbough and Zawieja both said Southside residents rarely initiate food fights or Yell Practice in the Commons. Zawieja’s letter also addressed ha rassment by students. She said inci dents have been reported of residents of all-male halls harassing women in the MSC dining facilities. “We also will not tolerate any physical, verbal, graphic, written or electronic conduct that harasses oth er students,” the letter stated. “My goal for Walton is to turn them into being gentlemen,” Zawieja said. “I would hope they would be young gentlemen and be respectful and con duct themselves appropriately when they are ... dining in our facilities.” * The Collegiate Olympic Medal Race is on!

Sununu also responded for the first time to questions regarding the controversial travel scandal he faced during his period as chief of staff. Concerning his use of government planes for personal ski trips, Sununu said that he paid for every one of the trips. He addressed the fact that the na tional security adviser and the chief of staff were prohibited from Hying commercially by a law made by Ronald Reagan. “Unfortunately, as 1 told my son when he got elected to Congress, Bid not have [Jreptable assi I»rote in his ^■ound no exa leaching assi lised as a rest lo assist facu Ing contracts His findin led to Tech Jchmidly on Graduate: :ally paid to' issistants ; hroughout th he student m luestions arc hether the te ere actual!) lassroom oi time conduct Schmidly sity is expect dollars it rece Washington is a place whereyotf get in trouble for doing somr wrong.” he said. “Yougetinli for doing something right in aw? people can make it looklikey doing something wrong.
