"The basis of the headline focused on crime stats from the years 1994 and 1995 ” Barnett said although the article did state the number of drug arrests declined significantly in 1996, it failed to include those statistic which were available on NAUPD’s web page. The number of drug arrests did increase from 78 in 1994 to 135in 1995, but dropped to 102 in 1996. The number of illegal alcohol consumption arrests also rose in 1995 (from 163 in 1994 to 327 in 1995*) but dropped to 168 in 1996. Barnett said there are See DRUGS, Page 5 Sodexho moves in By RACHEL VANE The Lutnbeijack Marriott Corp. is gone, aTtdsrnew food service is moving in. For the next five years, Sodexho will be the food service for NAU. Sodexho currently has dining can tracts at 225 universities in the United States. They have more than 14, 000 accounts in 62 countries and will begin service at NAU May 19. Sodexho will be changing the University Union around some, Bill Crane, Sodexho senior regional vice president, said. Sabarro will be put where Pizzano’s is now and Starbucks (Coffee) will be put where Java jacks is now. Although, Crane said Starbucks will be bigger than Java Jacks, it will be more like a walk-in area, istead of a walk-up counter. He also said to the right of the Eatery, there will be a TastTakes" buffett-style counter with the salad bar, soup, bread and premade sandwiches. ‘This will open up the Eatery and make it a easier to get around in there,” Crane said. Another change Sodexho is planning is to put a “cook to order” area in the three cafeteria style dining halls on campus. The decision to change the service, was ultimately NAU President Clara M. Lovett’s, but she was given a recommendation from the Food Service Committee. The committee reviewed five proposals from each oF-the dining services seeking a contract at NAU, said Sam Wheeler, student unions and activities director and food service committee member. After reading through the proposals, universities with Sodexho were chosen to be visited by members of the Food Service Commute. “We narrowed it down and decided to visit Sodexho schools, "Jeff Sears, food, service committee chairman, said. Near the beginning of the semster, three students went to six campuses. The students were: Bree Wilkins, former Associated students of NAU College of Arts and Sciences senator; Christina Bandy, Association o f University Residence Halls national commu- ' nications coordinator; and Sears. The three students traveled toHarvard Law School, jleP aul University in Chicago, University o f Illinios at Chicago, Stonehill College in Massac hussets, Keene State College in New Hampsire and Providence in Rhode Island, who c u rre n tly use Sodexho. The students discovered NAU has flexible meal plans compared to many of those universities. See DINING, Page 5 Stereotypes unfold By KTVA ALTAMLRANO The Lumberjack Racial stereotypes and discrimma-tkrsr are stitt evident in minority’s lives. Some NAU minority students still experience racial discrimination and stereotypes in and out of the classroom even in today's society. “People automatically think a certain way when they see vou,” Aliek Williams, junior advertising major said. “1 was pulled over one time by a campus police officer and the first thing he asked me was what sport did I play ... I thought it was very unpn> fessional of him to ask that,” he said. Karmen Todd, senior sociology major said she realizes racial discrimination and stereotypes are always going to be a part of her life. According to literature from Planning and Institutional Research enrollment summary, 78 percent of NAU’s population is white. The next largest percentage group is Hispanic with 9 percent Todd said stereotypes like minorities are getting a free ride or attending the university only on athletic scholarships are something minorities have to deal with. She also said another common stereotype is one making a distinction be tween minorities at college and ones who are not. “People will say things like minorities that are or>campu$are fine but the ones that aren’t have the problem,* Todd said. She said it’s difficult to deal with people who think in those ways. “It’s frustrating because the university is a place where you learn to be enlightened. We have the opportunity to open our minds but some people refuse to do that,” Todd said. She said discrimination is not a problem that controls her life, but effects others who are not ready for it. “I don’t want everyone to think that I’m having a hard time at NAU because I ’m n o t But I realize that there are many people who are having a hard time because of this,” she said. RaneIda Case, senior health education major, said it’s sometimes hard to tell between discrimination and prejudices. “I think here it’s more like prejudices,” Case said. “You can tell some professors and advisors are uncomfortable talking to Native Americans.’’ Case said she had an experience where she felt an advisor was uncomfortable with her and other Native Americans. “I think part of the problem is alack o f education and exposure,” she said. “A lot of professors come from back East andaren't^ised to being Native Americans.” Not all students share the same thoughts on racial discrimination. “1 must be the luckiest guy because I have never experienced that on campus,” Fred Stevens, Jr., senior civil engineering mayor, said. Stevens said he believes giving people respect helps prevent discrimination. “If I treat people with the same respect that I feel I should be treated with then I really don’t have a problem,” Stevens said. That's why I believe I don’t have a problem because I I treat all people with respect" Many minority students said intolerance and disrespect are part of the problem of racial discrimination. Jmar Summerville, junior advertising major, said not understanding each others races and cultures contributes to the problem. “I really couldn’t image a world where that (racial discrimination) didn’t happen,” she said. "That would be utopia for me.” • * = Drug Violations --- ' = Illegal Alcohol Consumption --- = Driving While Intoxicated Drug-Related Arrests at NAU Illegal waste disposal poses problem on NAU campus University, city conflict on cost of proper waste removal; help requested from students and citizens By M ICHAEL FRENCH The Lumberjack Illegal dumpstes litter the forests around Flagstaff.
