RiDeeRnnD6R Vol XI No. 14 March 18, 1976 University of North Carolina at Asheville Ashevllle.N.C. 28804 Food Companies Present Plans Three commercial food service companies have been invited to make verbal presenta tions to a student food service committee on Thursday, March 18. The companies, invited by Vice-Chancellor for Finance Pott at the request of the commit tee are scheduled to elaborate on their proposals submitted earlier. According to a March 4 review of the proposals prepared by Pott, the three com panies are Servomation Corporation, ARA-Sla- ter, and Professional Food Service Manage ment. Each company submitted bids to ope rate UNC-A's food ser vice next year, earli er last month. Following the Thurs day presentation, the food service committee is scheduled to make recommendations to Pott. Mr. Pott said "no further action Kindley Wins In an election mar red with controversy and confusion, junior Randy Kindley was elect ed Student Government President in a run-off held Feb. 26. The general election on Feb. 24 failed to give any of the three presiour?tial candidat es a clear majority. Kindley and Tom Zum- berge received 103 and 89 votes respectively in the Feb. 24 election. The run-off between Zumberge and Kindley on Feb.26 resulted in Kindley's victory with 169 votes to Zumberge's 111. Kindley received 75 dorm and 94 commu^:or votes to Zumberge's 50 and 61 respectively.

The committee recommenda tions of who should operate next year's food service should come within two weeks of Thursday's meeting. Mr. Pott will then make his recommenda tions to the Chancel lor. He said "I'll make mine within a week of them (the food service commit tee) making theirs." The five page sum mary of the company's proposals provides the companies'stand on a variety of specific issues. For example, the proposals of only two companies "stress cleanliness," Profes sional Food Service Management (PFSM) does not. Other "comparative data" include: "will work with a student food committee" (all will); "will operate the food service fa cility at least on a limited basis on the weekends" (one of three of Servomation's plans will, ARA will, and PFSM leaves it up to UNC-A); and "client list" (Servomation- 60 institutions nation wide, ARA-300, PFSM- 75). The "financial pro posals" of the compa nies vary from a cou pon plan where dorm students would be re quired to buy $400 a year in coupons to a cost plus 11% plan being provided by UNC-A to the contrac tor. General comments in the proposal review include the statement "it is estimated that UNC-A will lose be tween $15,000 and $20,000 in 1975-76 as a result of operating the food service fa cility itself." The submission of bids by the food ser vice companies was preceded by a letter from past S.G. Presi dent Gary Aiken to Mr. Andrew Vanore, Jr. of the state Attorney Generals' office.
