Another local scalper said Bu-

the scalper. "He held back two

A SOURCE CLOSE to the ticket;
racket described a meeting held
early this month at the apartment!
of one of Bugaris' associates. The
source said Mike Watts, Bugaris'
assistant at Bamboo, called togeth-
er 10 to 15 "middlemen," gave
them blocks of choice tickets, and
arranged seat prices and percent-'
ages for each "middleman."
The source, who joined the three
scalpers in refusing to be identi-
fied, said the "middlemen" then
distributed the tickets to scalpers
for sale in Ann Arbor and Detroit.
Watts, who is a salaried Bamboo
employe and has an unlisted phone
number, could not be reached for
comment. A staffer at the Bamboo
AT LEAST one of the represen-

support and we're moving too fast.
I'm afraid that we're going to

Silberman feels confident, how-
ever, and noted, "We apparently
have 200 people who have already
joined us."

Join the movement, baby.
People on campuses are finding that our little jars of
Gerber baby food make great snacks.
And when you think about it, why shouldn't an adult
like them?
Our little jars of pudding are every bit as good as the
canned snack puddings you're probably eating now.
And they cost less.
Lots of good pudding flavors, too. Chocolate cus-
tard, vanilla custard and cherry vanilla.
And we make other tasty little items. Blueberry
buckle, Dutch apple dessert, peach cobbler and rasp-
berry cobbler.
Little jars of fruit, too. Bananas with pineapple,
applesauce.
What's more, Gerber baby foods need no refrigera-
tion until they're opened. So you can keep them right on
your desk. (Or hide them in a dresser drawer, if you're
sensitive.)
And you know, Gerber baby foods come in conve-
nient-size jars-enough for one serving.
To give you a good start on our good little snacks,
we're offering you 10$ off your first jar of Gerber baby
food.
Look over our 150 varieties and give a couple of
them a try. And more power to you.
