Fast foOd restaurants may be
answer to SC Grill problems

By SUSAN SULLIVAN
Staff Writer

Fast food restaurants have become
a part of American tradition in a
society that is constantly on the go.
This trend in dining blooms in the

'noon rush on the UK campus.

According to Allen Rieman.

director of~UK food services. the three
Student Center restaurants daily serve
‘more people during the noon hour
than any commercial restaurant in
(Lexington. “The maximum number of
(people that can get in the Student
Center grill are being served when
classes let out at noon." he said.

Approxiamtely 1,000 students eat in
the Wildcat Grill each. day. “The
facility is not equipped to handle the
mass rush efficiently." he said. “As a
result, people eating at that time are
generally displeased with the service."

Plans are under way to improve the
service in the Student Center. While
change is still in the talking stage.
Rieman said McDonald‘s and
Hardee‘s are being considered to
replace the Equinox. It would cost U K
less to have a commercial chain take
over than it would for Food Services
to revamp its operations, he said.

Rieman will inspect the Ohio State
University Union‘s food service
program. Within the OSU Student
Union building. a McDonald‘s. a
pizzeria and a sweet shop are built
around one dining room. The program
has been reasonably successful for the
past six years. Rieman said. “When
their food services went out of
business. food chains were the
cheapest way out.“

Another reason for locating a
commercial food outlet in the Student
Center is that it would tend to draw
more people during the off hours.
According to Rieman. McDonald‘s
and Hardee's “probably”would not be
more expensive since it would follow
the franchise guidelines.

Replacing a University operated
dining hall with a franchise
management presents a problem with
(student meal cards. “Of the total

number of students on board contract.
22 to 24 percent ofthem use meal cards
for grill-type food each day." Rieman
said. Meal tickets would not be
honored at the chain restaurant.

All students living in residence halls
must sign a room contract and have
the option of buying a meal ticket.
They may choose one of the four meal
plans each semester. The plans
available for the fall I978 semester
were: $428 for three meals a day. seven
days a week; 5370 for two meals a day.
seven days a week; $35| for three
meals a day. five days a week; and Slim
for two meals a day. five days a week.

Meal tickets are convenient for
students. They do not have to worry
about having cash in order to eat.
Once the ticket is purchased at the
beginning of the semester. the student
is assured of a certain number of meals
each day. even when his finances are
lbw.

Not only would meal cards be
worthless at the proposed
McDonald's. but the cash value would
be about 26 percent higher than the
Equinox. (See accompanying chart for
comparisons.)

Rieman explained that there are
also differences in the meat entrees.

The hamburger served at the Equinox
is two and two-thirds ounces raw meat
before it is broiled. McDonald‘s
hamburger is one and four-fifth
ounces. The McDonald‘s quarter
pounder is hamburger while the
campus grill’s version is 4 ounces of
ground chuck.

Since a McDonald's on campus
would operate consistently with the
chain. it would offer a more limited
menu. Other than in fruit pies. fruit
and salads would not beavailable. The
homemade brownies and cookies.
which are popular at the grill. would
also be missing. Rieman said.

The Student Center grill is open
between l0:30 a.m. and 8 pm.
Monday through Friday. The hours of
operation of any replacement have not
yet been determined. he said. but
would likely remain as they are.

While Food Services follows
government standards on recom-
mended daily allowances. it cannot
guarantee that students select proper
meals. Rieman said. “I doubt if a fast
food eating place on campus would
have any influence on the dietary
habits of students.

Senate subcommittee told
Anti-smoking bill will bring
problems to state's industry

By LINDA CAMPBELL
Staff Writer

As Sen. Wendell Ford (Dem-Ky.)
listened to pro-tobacco voices in
Senate subcommittee hearings
yesterday on UK's campus. he heard
reasons why anti-smoking may be
unhealthful to Kentucky’s economy.
in terms of jobs and revenue generated
by Kentucky‘s leading cash crop.

In trying to protect Kentucky‘s
economy and the tobacco industry.
Ford is spending two days gathering
arguments to use against anti-smoking
legislation introduced into the 95th
Congress by Senator Edward
Kennedy. Although the bill. S. 3| I8.
died in committee. Ford said he is
certain similar legislation will
reappear when the 96th Congress
convenes Jan. IS.

Ford is the chairman of the
Consumer subcommittee ofthe Senate
Committee on Commerce. Science
and Transportation. The hearing
yesterday in Seay Auditorium. and a
second one today in Bowling Green. is
giving the tobacco industry a chance to
prove the importance of tobacco to
Kentucky‘s ecconomy. Ford will use
these facts to combat anti-smoking
legislation pushed by Kennedy and
Joseph Califano. President Carter‘s
secretary of health. education and
welfare.

Bill S. 3||8 deals with various
aspects of the effect of cigarettes on
health. especially the health of
adolescents. according to a
spokeswoman for the Senate
subcommittee of Health and Scientific
Research. In connection with this bill.
Kennedy has conducted hearings in
Washington dealing with the hazards
of smoking to a person’s health.

Ford feels the tobacco industry
must review the economic impact
passage of such a bill could have on
Kentucky‘s economy.

Kennedy‘s hearings in Washington
concentrate on the illnesses related to
smoking. such as cancer and heart
disease. While Ford‘s staff concedes
these are problems. they also point out
that tobacco industries support
research in areas of tobacco and
health.

“If suddenly the tobacco market is
taken away." said Ford‘s spokeman.
“Kentucky will sink. Kentucky’s
economy is much dependent on
tobacco."

Representatives from farm
organizations. agri-business firms.
banks. the Kentucky Chamber of
Commerce. producers and economists
were among those who presented
support of the tobacco industry in
Kentucky at yesterday‘s hearing in
Lexington.

Two components of the bill which
are being disputed are a proposed tax
on cigarettes. based on their tar and
nicotine content. and the
authorizations through passage of
such a bill to segregate smokers and
non-smokers in any federal facility.

“When I hear talk of reducing or
curtailing our tobacco farmer‘s
opportunities." said Kentucky
Commissioner of Agriculture Thomas
0. Harris. “my immediate response is
to say this is catastrophic action. not

only toward the tobacco larmer. but to
every segment of Kentucky's SI!)
billion agricultural income.“

Harris proceeded to point out that
tobacco is the leading cash crop in

Kentucky. With a five-time turnover-

for each agriculture dollar. proceeds
from the tobacco industry. at the farm
level. generate more than $4 billion to
boost Kentucky’s economy.

Economists estimate. Harris said.
that tobacco farming provides the
equivalent of 39.000 l‘ull-timejobs and
some $l50 million in wages and
salaries for Kentuckians.

Speakers at the hearings
emphasized other jobs connected
indirectly with the tobacco industry.
These include jobs for people involved
in marketing tobacco (approximately
8.000 people in seasonal work)
cigarette manufacturers and related
jobs in that industry. and revenues
collected from the sale of cigarettes.
which are reinvested into the
economy.

In testimony from William Short.
secretary of the development cabinet.
the economic impact of the proposed
tax was discussed.

Section seven of the Senate bill
would amend the Internal Revenue
code by adding a graduated tax on
cigarettes. related to the toxic units
(defined by milligrams of tar and
nicotine . The tax would result in five
different price categories for
cigarettes. from five cents to fifty cents
per pack. or fifty cents to $5 per carton
in additional taxes. creating problems
for retail and vending machine sales.

Through economic reasoning.
Short concludes. because of the
characteristics of cigarettes. smokers
will substitute more low tar and
nicotine cigarettes. at the lower price.
for the higher priced. more toxic
brands. By smoking more of the low
tar brands. the net effect oftoxic units
would be zero. counteracting any of
the measures to protect health which
Kennedy hopes to achieve through the
sliding tax.

Short explained that if the tax is
instituted. “it logically follows that
manufacturers would substitute low
toxic tobacco for high. Farmers would
shift production to these varieties. and
under the present state-of—the-art

MILTON SHUFFETT

Lexington. Kentucky

(production methods) they would
achieve lower yields per acre with the
same amount of cost. The question
that has to be asked is how quick can
producers shift over to these varieties
and at what costs?“

Short concluded that the tax would
cause tobacco producers to quit.
taking revenue away from the entire
Kentucky segment. Also land values
would decrease as tobacco bases and
quotas are taken away.

Short also presented the idea of
bootlegging cigarettes. If U.S.
cigarettes are highly taxed. smuggling
might occur from countries like
Mexico and Canada. providing the
consumer with lower priced. illegally
imported. cigarettes.

Milton Shuffett. professor of
agriculture economics at 'U K. outlined
a possible situation that could occur if
a bill similar to S. 3|l8 were to be
passed. If the cigarette tax increased
by an average of twenty-five cents per
pack. the effect would be to reduce
consumption by 30 percent.

The provisions of S. 3| l8 designed
to prohibit smoking in open areas of
Federal facilities. to segregate smokers
and non-smokers. and to change
labeling requirements. would also
reduce consumption.

Shuffett estimated that the
proposed tax could reduce the nation‘s
tobacco requirements by one-third
and have a severe impact on
Kentucky‘s economy.

“Burlcy production would be
reduced by I40 million pounds with
I75 million dollars less in cash farm
income.“ Shuffett said. “Farmland
values would decline about $400
million and employment of the
equivalent of |3.000 jobs by family
members and hired labor would be
lost.“

The speakers said passage of this
type of bill would affect more than
9.000 people employed in cigarette
manufacturing and an additional
6.000 people working in the processing
of tobacco. Also. a rippling effect. as
Ford said. would continue through all
industries in any way related to
cigarette manufacturing.

Tickets abundant

There are approximately 3,000
student tickets remaining for the UK-
Georiga football game to be played

'Sharpen Carrie’s axe’

It looks as though Carrie Nation‘s ax needs to be
taken out of mothballs and sharpened to a fine edge.
There‘s work to be done. and soon. because Demon

Rum is on the loose again.

That seems to be the attitude of the Kentucky
Nurses‘ Association. which last week followed the
lead of its Virginia counterpart in opposing a new

soft drink containing alcohol.

Anheuser Busch. the nation‘s largest brewer.
recently began test-marketing the drink. Chelsea. in-
Richmond. Va.. and in five other areas. “The new
not-so-soft drink.“ as Chelsea advertising

percent alcohol.

Because the alcoholic content is so low. it can be
sold to children and is outside the jurisdiction of
many state alcohol control boards. including

Kentucky‘s.

The nurses groups admit that a kid would have to
have a super-sized stomach to even get slightly
inebriated from such a weak potion. What they‘re
concerned about is that the new beverage may be an
attempt to condition young people to drink alcohol.

he posseses a powerful intellect. that
he is a “conservative“ on this and a
“progressive" on that. that he is a Pole.

But there are already many more powerful
inducements to drink liquor that children are
exposed to every day. Hard. frequent drinking is
extoled in the movies. laughed at on television and
in the funny pages. and is touted by professional
athletes in advertisments. Chelsea. on the other
hand. is being marketed toward young adults (not ‘
children) as a “premium" soft drink.

Not only are children more than familiar with

many varieties of drugs and consciousness-altering
chemicals. A sad state of affairs. but true.
Mouthwash and cold medicine contains 25 times as
much alcohol as Chelsea.

Besides. “near-bears“ like Chelsea are familiar in
this country and have some good points. They‘re a

convalescing or can‘t handle harder drinks. for one
thing. Also. Chelsea contains no caffeine or tooth-

So let's stop trying to find scapegoats for alcohol

othing worth becoming excited over from the new

drink. Let Carrie Nation rest in peace.

As a Pole and a Catholic clergyman

World War II). has learned to balance
himself above the abyss. His tensility.

merely as ‘being there.‘ The purpose of

drama and film. indeed to religion. is
to hint at the various possibilities of
change: emotional. physical. political.
spiritual. to instigate a change of will.
of an awareness of the power of the
individual. to change one‘s life."

Ungainly creed. but from one Pole
to another perhaps worth considering
if you happen to be a new pope looking
around for guidance. Does the church
hint at the various possibilities of

spiritual and emotional security.

A few years ago I knew a Catholic
priest. Father M. whose parishoners
were poor people in a Chicago district
which had been prosperously German.
then through encroachment and
migration if not invasion turned into a
number of other things. none of which
Father M could understand. He
visited the hospitals and performed his
priestly duties and glared out the
window of his office at the strangers
passing in the sharp sunlight. Not
enough of his old parish was left for a
good bingo game. and those who lived
near the church said they were afraid
to come out at night. Father M. kept a
Nazi helmet on his desk. It had been
pierced 30 years before by a bullet. It
reminded Father M. of his own
embattled situation.

I can imagine a papacy as
mournfully isolated as Father M.’s
church. And it wouldn't help if the
pope drove around smiling at school
children now and then. And it
wouldn‘t help much if after five years
of deliberation the pope decided to
allow priests to get married.

According to Donald
Oberleas. chairman of the
department of nutrition. there
are no nutritional differences
between food served at a
commercial outlet and the
Food Services menu. “Anytime
students self-select their diet.
particularly fast food. they may
be lacking nutrients.”

Oberleas said that fast food
on campus would not have any
great effect on the students‘
nutrition unless it accounted
for the major meal of the day.
The limited fast food menu is
not a model diet. he added.

“Expense is a factor in many
students‘ diets." he said. “There
is evidence of malnutrition in
some UK students.“ This state
of health is usually not
permanent. he added. since it is
attributed primarily to the
student‘s financial status.

Students living on campus
have an opportunity for a well—
balanced diet from the
cafeterias, Overleas said. If
expense. special diet or taste
preference conflict with
campus dining. there are
alternatives.

Cooking is not allowed in
dorm rooms. However.
refrigerators. coffee makers
and popcorn poppers are
permitted. These appliances
are inadequate for complete
meals. but when used jointly
with the kitchenettes located in
each dormitory. nutritous
meals can be prepared.
Individual menus can be
designed to meet one‘s budget
or dietary needs.

Overleas recommends that
students preparing their own
meals include each of the four
basic food groups (meat. milk.
vegetable—fruit and cereal) in
their regimen. This applies to

dining out. too.

Living on a small budget'
without a kitchen can be
difficult but not necessarily
