Improve Food Quality
By Dana A. Grudzien
Collegian Staff Writer
A group of students have
taken an approach to a speech
class project that may prove
beneficial for students who eat in
Dobbins Hall.
' Speech instructor Sheila
Sullivan directed the class,
which was broken down into sub
groups, to decide on an idea that
would bring about a positive
change.
The group, consisting of
students Steve Campell, - Terry
Wright, Jay Skrypak, Don Spear,
and Sue Edmonts, decided they
would try to improve the food
service at Dobbins Hall.

In addition to working with
Behrend's Food Service staff, the
group has distributed
approximately 500 questionnaires
to students living in the dorms.
"This is the students' one
chance to get things done," said
Don Spear who explained they
will be interviewing Food
Services staff to get a broader
view of the issue.
Thus far, approximately 100
questionnaires have been returned.
"In general, there are some
outstanding features the students
do not like," said Spear. Some of
these include the smell of grease
traps, the placement of plants,
and cold food.
The group hopes any changes
they might suggest will -be
implimented in the near future.
"The group feels positive that
a lot of small changes should
culminate in one big
improvement," noted Spear.

Julian Bond Calls
Rights a Spectator
by Laura A. Weaver
Collegian Staff Writer
Political activist Julian
Bond criticized Ronald
Reagan's civil rights record and
offered some advice to the
movement during his 8 pm
speech on Feb. 15 in the Reed
Lecture Hall. •
Bond's lecture was entitled
"Policy Issues Influencing
America . . . A View to the
1990'5."
Bond was elected to one
year terms in the Georgia
House of Representatives in
both 1965 and 1966, but both
times the house voted not to
seat him because of his
outspoken opposition to the
Vietnam War.
After Bond's third win the
U.S. Supreme Court ruled that
the Georgia House had violated
his civil rights by refusing to
seat him. In addition to serving
in the state house, Bond has
served six terms in the Georgia
Senate.

Bond has been active in the
civil rights movement for more
than 25 years, beginning with
his days as a college student
leading sit-ins in 1960.
In 1960 Bond launched the
Committee on Appeal for
Human Rights (CoAHR). The
group was responsible for three
years of effective non-violent
anti-segregation protests that
won the integration of
Atlanta's movie theaters, lunch
counters, and parks.
"The (civil rights)
movement was not a splash,"
Bond said, "it was a mighty
flood." However, Bond's
optimism of the past did not
carry over to the present, "In
1989, despite all (the progress
made), we find our condition
unchanged."
"The fact that there are
fewer blacks working today
reflects a failure to keep the
movement coming on," Bond
said.
"Civil rights remains a
spectator sport," Bond said.

more involved, he told listeners
to "see the problem, study it,
find the person responsible, and
make them a deal they can't
refuse."
Calling himself a "fellow
passenger" and "a witness to
the early leg" Bond said that he
is riding on the same vehicle as
the rest of the Americans
fighting for their rights and yet
he was around for the original
protests and demonstrations.
For these reasons he called the
American people "at our best .
. . a caring people" and "at our
worst . . . a narrow people."
"Receiving rights others
already have is no badge. . .
.We just want a chance to
compete."
Bond called the road to civil
rights "long and hard." "So we
ought to examine why the road
to civil rights became so
crowded," he said, referring to
all of the other groups, such as
the short, the left-handed,
women and the chemically
dependent, that have fallen
