Private food service will send student to McDonald's
1 am writing this letter in response
to Kurt Baum’s letter published Tues-
day, Nov. 24 concerning a possible
change from the present dining service
to a contract system.
I have been following the issue of
a private food service possibility very
closely and I consider myself fairly
knowledgeable on this subject.
Many students have asked me if
there is a chance that NT could switch
H If NT switches to a
private food service,

to a private food service. Because of
an article written by The Daily on
Nov. 13 (“Private food service ru-
mors not true, Chancellor says”),
these students are surprised to learn
that there is a functional committee
on this campus right now, which is
reviewing the issue and will report
its finding directly back to James
Terrell, Director of Business Services,
and Phil Diebel, Vice President of
Fiscal Affairs.
These two gentlemen, in coopera-
tion with others, will determine if
switching to a private food service
system will be beneficial to NT.
I, personally, hope not. If NT does
move to a contract service many of
the following things could happen:
• As many as 114 student jobs and
105 full-time jobs would be put into
jeopardy. Those students who have
looked for an on-campus job know
it’s hard enough to get one. Do they
really need to compete with that many
more people?
• Food quality will likely drop.
After the company secures the con-
tract, which takes about a year, the
company will do what it wants and
the students will be stuck with the
service for about five years.
• Unlimited pass would be lost.
Students would only be able to enter
a cafeteria once in a meal period.
• Cafeterias would close between
meal periods making it impossible for
students with odd schedules to eat.
• Use of the cafeteria for study halls
or dances would not be allowed.
• On top of all these points, the
cost to the student would stay the
same.
The only way for the students to
avoid a contract system is through
support and unity. For those students
who live in the housing system, I hope
you will become involved and make
your opinions heard because it is you
who will have to eat the food that is
served.
Not me. If NT switches to a pri-
vate food service, I’m going to Mc-
Donald’s.

Oak Cliff
is not only
for thugs!
I highly commend Dorothy Gentry
on her column for a job well done
on educating many of our peers who
are ignorant to the facts about what
Oak Cliff really is.
When I first met people my fresh-
man year here, they would ask where
I was from and from which high
school I graduated. When I said 1 was
from Oak Cliff and graduated from
Kimball High School, they would
immediately make all kinds of ac-
cusations. They would say, “I know
you’re roguish,” or “I bet you can
fight.”
1 was really offended and I still get
a little annoyed when people try to
stereotype Oak Cliff residents.
Although I’m not originally from
Oak Cliff, it became my home when
my mom and I moved into the area
six years ago. For five years I went
to school, played sports and socialized
with the people there. A majority of
them are nice people.
Of course, you’ll sometimes find
a few bad seeds, but every neigh-
borhood has a bad crowd.
There are few schools in Oak Cliff
that carry bad reputations for violence

and low academics, but I would like
everyone to know a few facts about
where I came from.
(1) Justin Ford Kimball High School
is located in a predominantly white
neighborhood made of very nice
homes, a lot of them two-story houses.
(2) When I entered Kimball in the
year 1982, the majority of students
were white and it had one of the top
academic programs in the Dallas area.
(3) Many minority students at
Kimball achieved great honors in
academics. I had been in honor classes
since I moved to Dallas, I graduated
in the top 10 percent of my class, I
M So, you see, Oak Cliff

—Jacque Walker

was a member of the National Honor
Society and I played sports.
So, you see, Oak Cliff is not only
a place where thugs hang out and
people gather to party. Oak Cliff is a
residential area where normal people
live and carry out day-to-day activities
to keep life’s cycle flowing. I’m sure
my counterparts from Kimball and the
Oak Cliff can support what I have
said.

Student claims
Atheism is
a religion
Bryan James’ attitude towards re-
ligion, interestingly enough, is echoed
by yet another religion. The satanic
law, as stated by Alistair Crowley
(once a prominent British satanist),
is “Do what thou wilt; so mete it
be.” He called this “...the whole
of the law.”
I’m not accusing you of active
Satanism, just saying that this idea is
not a non-religious attitude. The gist
of this law is that you could help an
old lady across the street or run her
over, and still follow the law; obe-
dience of this law rests on motives.
The law is diametrically opposed
to Christ’s summation of the Com-
mandments, which is to love God
above all else and to ive others as
yourself. This law stressed con-
sideration and looks beyond mere
self-gratification.
The reason that people preach to
you rather than leave you alone is that
they are trying to follow this law to
save you from hell, something that
is real to them. It doesn’t matter if
you believe this or not; they do and
this concern for you is what motivates
them.
1 consider Atheism to be a religion
because it involves worship. The thing
you “worship” is the thing that you
concentrate on and revere above all
else. If it is not an absolute authority
(i.e. God), then it is usually yourself.
Please remember—don’t condemn re-
ligion, because everyone has it.
And to Steve Hadeler: the idea that
“God helps those who help them-
selves” was never stated in the Bible.
That's from Aesop’s Fables, for God’s
sake! This proverb has been misquoted
almost as many times as “Judge not
others...”
