A new form of speaking
By NANCY ASHLEY
LIFE Staff Writer
When was the last time your
mother bought 95,000 loaves of
bread and 150,000 gallons of milk?
The University Food Services
use those amounts every year,
along with approximately 600,000
pounds of meat, 290,000 dozen
doughnuts, and 10 tons of fresh
tomatoes.
The preparation of this food
in the residence halls requires
230 full-time workers and 400
part-time students, who work in
two shifts. These people must
start blendingandbrewingbreak-
fast at 5:45 a.m. lunch at 6:30
a.m,  and dinner at 10:30 a.m.
Food is gathered from numerous sources, probably even the
Green Giant's valley. Many of
the fruits and vegetables are
canned or frozen while most
meats are fresh or frozen. The
bake shop in Robinson Food Commons supplies pies, cakes,
breakfast rolls, bread, and other
baked goods.
To save money, many foods
are bought on a yearly contract
basis, directly from manufacturing companies. Large shipments arrive about three times
a year and are stored below the
Robinson Food Commons.
Individual food commons receive their "groceries" weekly
but receive meat and bakery
goods daily.
Since Jack Sprat (alias the
average student) can eat no fat
and his girlfriend' can eat no
bones, whole animal carcasses
are not purchased. Only the
most     useful     parts,    known
as wholesale cuts, are purchased.
The meat shop, also located in
Robinson Food Commons cuts and
trims some meats and grinds
beef for hamburg.
The total food and supplies
cost the University Food Service about $1,200,000 per year.
Guest tickets, which cost $.75
for breakfast, $1.25 for lunch,
and $2.00 for dinner closely reflect the actual cost of the individual meals.
These prices are "figured the
same way a restaurant would
base its meal prices—from food,
labor and utilities," said Scott
E. Frear,' resident halls assistant food manager.
Figuring the amount of food
to prepare is not an easy task.
"It  is amazing how close the
unit managers are able to come,
though," Frear said. For each
item on the menu, they must
guess how many students will
chooseeach item. Figures must
also include the 15-20% of the
students who return for second
helpings.
When an estimate is inac- .
curate, the phenomenon known as
leftovers occurs. Extras are
refrigerated and served the next
day, with appropriate decreases
in the new menu.
Waste and loss from stolen ,
glasses, silverware and food
items greatly increase lood
costs. "Because Mama isn't
here, many students eat dessert
first and leave vegetables and

The participants of the antiwar march and rally, April 24,
are demanding to hold the rally on the steps of the Washington Capitol Building, said Don.
Gurewitz, National Secretary of
the Student Mobilization Committee (SMC),
"This is a thing that is not
usually done but the SMC lawyer
thinks that the chances for accepting the demands are pretty
good," he added.
The Peace Action Coalition
called for the massive anti-war
march which the SMC will participate in, along with anyone else
who is against the war.
Gurewitz, who spoke at CMU
last Thursday on "The Crisis
of Nixonization," said, "The
U.S. is newly involved in the
biggest troop movement in the
history of the war. The mass
media and politicians have
brought it to the attention of the
people. The students aren't the
v only ones upset - there are plenty of disaffected GIs as well as
labor forces who are concerned
about the issue."
The SMC usually holds two national conferences per year. One
of these was the Feb. 19-21 conference, but two weeks ago, when
it became clear what Nixon was
doing in Southeast Asia, the February conference format was
changed to one planning for ac-
tipn on April 24. "We called
for an Emergency Student National Anti-War Conference which
will be a declaration of war on
the Nixon escalation policies,'
Gurewitz said.
"People say that students are
dead to 'the war issue. - Well,
that's not true. There was a
lull in student action because
of Nixon's concessions which
gave the impression that the war
was 'winding down' " he said.
Gurewitz continued saying,
"The April 24 march on Washington needs all the factors of
populations. Students alone can't
end the war, the American public is needed. We have to build
our ranks from the working people, the GIs, blacks, chicanos
and everybody else."
"We realize that marches
aren't going to end the war.
We don't expect this demonstration to end the war but to just
bring the phoniness of Nixon's
policies into focus. It has been
proved that demonstrations do
have an impact on the administrations policies," he added.
