The grill sizzles at a perfect temperature, nearly drowned out by the noise of the crew and the dining area. The cook wields his spatula like a high-speed surgeon, a violent but precise handling of each burger patty or grilled cheese sandwich.

Chief Petty Officer Alan Nahs is in the zone, but he feels a sudden imbalance. He grabs the sides of the grill to steady him-self from the vertigo, remem-bering he’s in West Side Café. It’s only the 12:30 p.m. rush, not the mid-rat meal on one of the six U.S. Navy submarines he called home for 20 years.

The food service coordina-tor said sometimes he catches himself speaking in sailor lingo, telling the café staff to scrub the deck and wash the bulkheads.

He works with students the same age as the sailors he led at sea as a culinary specialist chief.

For Nahs, Veterans Day is

about more than free meals and discount sales.

“A veteran is someone who at one point in their life wrote a blank check to the United

States for an amount up to and including their life,” Nahs said. “It’s also a day to take time to remember those who did serve. … It’s a day to say thank you to

our veterans.”Nahs, a Kentwood, Michigan,

native, said he loves to smoke meats and started cooking with his grandmother as a child. Nahs cooked in a bar before joining the Navy as a way to change things up in his life.

Every so often the vertigo at the grill simulates the pitch and roll of a boat beneath the surface. Nahs said in some ways the tight fit of the café kitchen is reminiscent of the compact mess hall he orchestrated at sea.

“One thing about West Side is it is a tight cramp between the grill and the fryer,” Nahs said. “That’s almost the same amount of space between equipment as on a submarine and with people running through and bumping into each other.”

Nahs holds his regular staff of 23 to a high standard. He said he strives to set the bar for dining not only on campus, but also in all of Stillwater. Tables are always clean and condi-ments full, keeping everyone in the restaurant busy. Nahs said he likes to push and test his staff, looking for the improve-ment and drive necessary to do the job.

comes from Nahs’ submariner background. Although the café is regularly busy, it’s nothing compared to the constant state of motion on a submarine.

The days and hours run to-gether, the body’s internal clock only kept in track by the subtle

changes in

florescent lighting to simulate the hours of the day. Submari-ners routinely go weeks without seeing sunlight, operating 18-hour days in shifts.

“It’s always 75 degrees and florescent sunlight,” Nahs said. “So the weather’s always good.”

Time is never wasted on a submarine. When crews aren’t

on watch, they’re training, testing or clean-ing. It’s the work-load Nahs emulates in West Side, where no task goes undone, no matter how trivial and

regardless of staff position. Joni Deist, head student man-

ager at West Side, said working for Nahs is the first job she’s looked forward to each day and described the environment as fun but hardworking.

“He’s really good at making sure everything’s done, but he’s really good at making it fun,” Deist said. “It’s actually enjoy-able to come to work, he makes it fun and we get to joke around and sort of have fun as well rather than just being serious all the time.”

There’s also a ritual for all of Nahs’ student managers. Manag-ers are made to scrub the trash cans when they take the posi-tion, something Deist said was a disgusting but humbling task.

Nahs won’t ask his staff to do anything he can’t or wouldn’t do, and he’s scrubbed the trash-

cans to prove that point. Taylor Donohue, a hotel and

restaurant management se-nior, said Nahs helps the team wherever he’s needed during the crucial rush times.

“He does all of those jobs with us,” Donohue said. “If we’re running a little behind, he goes in and he helps. He helps us close until the end of the day. He’s here from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day.”

Veterans Day is not the first day this year Nahs will be honored. On Sept. 11, Nahs received a quilt from the Quilts of Valor Foundation for his service.

Nahs said the quilt was a total surprise and a humbling experi-ence.

“It means a lot that women who don’t even know who I am took their time to make a quilt

for me,” he said. The cramped, pressurized

environment of a submarine creates palpable tension among the sailors onboard. There isn’t room for grudges or sore egos. Nahs works with the same at-titude in the café.

The stress makes relations between officers and enlisted sailors more relaxed, building a greater sense of cohesion and unity, complete with hijinks and jokes. Nahs said it’s the brother-hood, the kinship of being part of a crew, which he misses most about his time in the navy.

“The camaraderie, the close-knit guys,” Nahs said. “You’ve got 135 guys, they’re brothers. You may not like them, you may not always get along, but you respect them. You trust them.”

Students and residents of Stillwater can guarantee a safe ride home after a night of fun thanks to the hard work and determination of one woman with a big idea.

Bridgette Janes, a senior biology major and owner

of Easy DD Taxi Service, said the idea of a safe taxi service aimed toward the Stillwater campus came to her a few years ago.

“I was explaining to my mom that I wanted to figure out a safe and reasonable way for my friends and other students to get home from a night out,” Janes said. “She asked me why I couldn’t start something myself. From that point on, I started working day and night to make Easy DD Taxi Service a reality.”

Janes runs Easy DD with the help of five male drivers who stay on call Wednes-day through Saturday every week. Riders can call or text the company number and be picked up starting at 9:30 p.m. and ending at

3 a.m.“We stay pretty busy on

holiday weekends and on game days for sure,” Janes said. “We can fit whole groups of up to 10 people in the van, which people really like.”

Customers can also

reserve a space in the van to be picked up or dropped off at a specific time.

“Because we group people together a lot, we are able to keep rates low and affordable for those who use the service,” Janes said. “We make just enough to

pay for gas and the drivers, but I don’t get any money out of the service.”

Easy DD charges a mini-mum of $4 per person per way and a maximum of $10 if the person is traveling more than six miles.

“Of course, in the long run, I would like to make a profit on the service to help pay back all of the money I invested,” Janes said. “But, earning money isn’t my main goal. I just want the service to grow and continue getting people home safe.”

Easy DD provides its services to about 30 to 50 people each weekend, Janes said.

On average, 28 people die every single day in the United States as a result

of drinking and driving, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

“I never imagined the amount of work it would take to go through get-ting permits with the city, buying the van and every-thing else that came with this business,” Janes said. “Though it’s been hard, I know that I can make a dif-ference with this service.”

The Grin Awakens

Oklahoma State fans are expecting the Cowboys to be 10-0 after Saturday’s game at Iowa State. The team is looking to be 1-0.

It’s how they’ve played all season. Day by day. Week by week. Game by

game. “We just want to be

undefeated, 1-0, at the end of this week,” OSU defen-sive end Trace Clark said. “That’s how we look at each week we go into. We just want to be undefeated that week.”

That strategy has got-ten the Cowboys to 9-0, and they are riding an 11-game win streak after handling TCU. OSU faced the toughest challenge of its season in the Horned Frogs on Saturday. Then-unbeaten TCU came into the game with a top-five offensive led by Heisman Trophy-hopeful Trevone Boykin at quarterback. The
