Crisis talks held over Texas A&M-Galveston food complaints

Photos posted online by students showed undercooked chicken, apparently moldy salad dressing and out of date condiments, among other problems at the university cafeteria.

Mitchell was a Galveston native, and a distinguished graduate of A&M. You can't tell me there isn't plenty of money for decent food services. This one might get interesting.
