Students Fighting To Keep 'Munchie Man' On Campus

CARBONDALE, Ill. (AP) -- Administrators at Southern Illinois University have inadvertently found a way to interest students in campus politics -- take away their late-night snacks.

When students heard the school did not plan to renew "Munchie Man" James Rochman's permit to sell food out of the back of his truck on campus, the news inspired a new political party devoted to reversing the decision.

Headed by student government member Rob Taylor, the Munchie Party planned to distribute fliers on campus supporting Rochman.

When students vote in campus elections April 13 and 14, one ballot question will ask whether Rochman should be allowed to continue his campus business after May, when his permit expires. The referendum doesn't hold power against the will of the administration, but if enough students support Rochman, it might influence the administration's final decision, Taylor said.
