Bids by seven companies have been under consideration for several weeks to fill services vacated by Saga Food Service which discontinued operations last May. UNC has been without a food service since then. Servomation is scheduled to take over in September. The contract will run through May 31 of 1971. The contract calls for use of four locations: Chase Dining Hall, the Carolina Union, Spencer Hall, and the Pine Room. The cafeteria in Lenoir Hall will not be reopened.

Gene Gore of the food worker's union told The Tar Heel Tuesday the administration does have such a list. He said the University, the union, and Saga all received lists of workers who were eligible to vote in the unionization question. According to Gore, this included almost everyone except the management. Mrs. Mary Smith, president of the workers association, said Wednesday, "If the Administration has lost their copy, they could have gotten another from the Union or even from me." She said most employers don't want people who haw been active in strikes or unionization. "I've made applications for lots of jobs since Saga laid us off and can't get any of them. They sometimes tell me to come to work the next day, then they find out who I am and they call and tell me the job has been filled or something. Very few of the workers have gotten new jobs," she said. Temple referred questions on the food service worker's list to Vice Chancellor of Business and Finance Joe Eagles. Eagles was not available for comment. Mrs. Smith also complained the administration will not release information where applications will be taken for the 79 openings which will be available. "If we could find out where to make applications we could get ours (former workers's) in first and we would be served first," she said. The University Personnel Office did not have this information.
