To some people, the change won't mean much, but to others - in particular those who work in dining services - the change will bring new management, and with that comes new practices and policies. Sodexho Marriott is one of the world's largest food­ service operations with 900 accounts.

Earlier this month at the University of Albany, Sodexho Marriott fought allegations of unfair labor practices and health violations. Students from the "Not With Our Money" campaign, which question the Editor In Chief company's relations to the private-prison industry, Robert B.

Baseball BY MATT SCHAUF -=------·Staff Writer ------·- "Maybe we're a cold weather team," coach George Valcscnte said with a smile af­ ter Sunday's drubbing of St. Lawrence. Despite his sarcastic tone, Valcsentc 's words could easily have described his team's play this weekend. Sun and 70-degrcc temperatures scorched Bucky Freeman Field Saturday as the Bombers split a doubleheader with vis­ iting Clarkson, dropping the first one, I 0-4, before taking the next, 11-8. Valesente called Clarkson a "scrappy team" and said he thought some of that rubbed off in game two. "We started to scrap like we used to," he said. That fight carried over to Sunday and man­ ifested into an 18-0 doubleheader sweep of St. Lawrence in 30-dcgrec rain. Junior out­ fielder R011 Amato went 5-7 at the plate in the two games, scoring four runs and driving in two more. Sophomore Jake Upwood held the visiting Saints to one hit in five innings of work to win game one and junior Matt Lynch pitched a complete-game shutout in the finale. The Bombers arc 13-8 on the season and head to Utica for a doubleheader on Friday. Men's. track
