Well-fed students and a clean campus are the main concern of college employees.

Unknown People Create 'Home-Away-From-Home'

Cooking, housecleaning, and yard work - these are part of the duties of a homeowner. Although constructed on a larger scale than the average home, North Texas is no different from any other home in that it has housekeeping chores. But, whereas at home Mom and Dad do most of the work of making a home, the college employs many people unknown to the students to keep house.

During the school year dietitians and cooks plan and prepare three meals a day - except on Sundays when local restaurants are filled with collegians - for an average of 2,500 students living in the dormitories. Maids and janitors sweep countless miles of halls and erase innumerable blackboards.

But in addition to the normal duties of housekeeping, the college also does such things as print its own publications and keep the public informed of the activities of the students. This, too, requires behind-the-scene workers, for to remain creative a home or school must be energetic in every area.
