Pickled pigs' feet Pigs are hitting the bottle regularly at the Uni- versity of Missouri. Scientists there are experi- menting with pigs to discover more about social and physical effects of human alcoholism. The sev- en tippling porkers in the study, some of whom have developed quart-a-day habits. have shown definite preference in their type of drink. The U.S. Department of Agriculture report shows the pigs preferred screwdrivers 19 to 1 over booze and water or booze and cola. The scientists also found the alcoholic swine face social problems as well. The pigs' leader or "ing pig" lost his status as a result of his drinking, but later regained it when he went on the wagon. According -to the report, pigs were used because, "drunk or sober, pigs are a lot like people . . ." Oh well. Squirmy snack At last, all you gourmets who curl your lips in disgust at the mere thought of a Whopper or an Egg McMuffin have something to look forward to. If Ron Caddie, president of North American Bait Farms has his way, we may soon be munch- ing away on "Ver de Terre" instead of potato chips or franks. And what, you may ask, is "Ver de Terre"? Why, earthworms, of course. Caddie sees wide open vistas,, for worms if only the squiggly little guys can g'et off fishermen's hooks and onto dinnerplates. But how can this miracle be worked? Step number one, in Ca die's eyes, is to call the worm by its French na e. Step number two is to offer $500 for the best earthworm recipe. Last year's grand prize went to Patricia Howell of St. Paul, Minn., who whipped up a concoction by the name of "Applesauce Surprise Cake". Despite the promotion, Caddie concedes that worms may be an "acquired taste." But could it be any worse than, say, pickled cow tongue? Sons of Kong Apparently, King Kong is not the only one who occasionally gets a hankering to clamber up the sides of buildings. In San Francisco, three sea- soned mountain climbers .decided that they'd tackle the 48-story Transamerica Pyramid build- ing because it was "so beautiful - so climbable". Unfortunately for Jeff Long and Edwin and' Grace Drummond, police did not feel the good karma. On the inside ... there is a little something for everybody.

Govinda's is on State St. near N. Uni- versitv.f The dismissals - which restaurant own- ers refuse to call a firing or lay-off - are apparently part of a plan to convert the natural food restaurant to a cafeteria. OVER SIXTEEN of Govinda's 36 waiters, waitresses, and kitchen workers met last night to plan protest efforts against the dismissals. "We are all banding together to let the community know what's happening there," said waitress Kathy Shenkar. Govinda's opened under its current man- agement in November. It was previously known as Indian Summer Natural Foods Restaurant. Govinda is another name for red at Govinda 's Krishna, a god in the Hindu pantheon wor- shipped by the Hare Krishna sect. ONE OF THE restaurant's owners, who identified himself yesterday as Stavapriay, said big financial losses necessitated changes in Govinda's staff and format. "I flew on here Saturday night from Ca'ifornia especially to look at the financial condi ion of the restaurant," he said. Stavanriay indicated that old employees were offered the chance to interview yes- terday and get their jobs back. "SOME OF THE employees aren't actual- ly interested in' working very much," he said. "They're interested in an easier job," he added. But res aurant employees scoffed at Stav- apriay's charge and blamed "total manage- ment incompetence" for Govinda's econom- Ic difficulties. "The people that were working there were working hard 'o make the place better," according to former employee Barb When. "We put in a lot of extra time and we were lied to right and left (by management). They were real deceptive " she continued. WHEN SAID that at a staff meeting Jan- uary 24, co-owner Bill Bowman promised employees a greater degree of con rol over the res'aurant. Less than a week later, all were out of their jobs. Baker Erik Tho:npkins attribu'ed Govin- da's lack of suicess to "the religious at- mosphere they were trying to fois' on people. If they had listened to us in the past" he added, "things would be going much better now." Meanwhile. a snokesperson for the Hare Krishna organization in Detroit denied any connection between Govinda's and the See GOVINDA'S, Page 2 I Daily Photo by BRAD BENJAIWN Employes of Govinda's natural food restaurant on State St. charge they were fired en-masse as scapegoats for manage- ment "incompetence." r r uur rr nrnn i ri + i rniriArwariw wi ------ w wrrr w r Dorni residents pound meal approval UnMt By EILEEN DALEY Results of a recent survey show that a University plan to pool meal facilities on weekends by transferring students from three dorms to other neighbor- ing dorms is strongly opposed by most students. As a result, it appears unlike- ly that the proposal, will be im- plemented - though the final decision is up-to the Rate Study Committee appointed to exam- ine the problem. ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR for Housing Administration and Fi- nance Judy Di Mattia, who re- leased the results to The Daily, was unable to quo e the exact results of the poll last night. The plan would have moved residents from -Alice Lloyd to Couzens, from Mosher-Jordan to Markley, and. from West Quad to South Quad. "I wanted to try it," said Di Mattia. However, objections from s aff members and resi- dents of Alice Lloyd prompted her to give the proposal second thoughts. OVER 200 residents of Alice Lloyd do#cended upon Couzens' cafeteria for dinner one night Carter proposals include tax rebate WASHINGTON (AP)-President Carter yesterday sent Con- gress his $31.2 billion economic program that includes a $50 tax rebate for nearly every American. He said the program "only promises what can realistically be done" to speed eco- nomic growth. Carter also said he expects business and labor to cooper- ate in. attempts to control inflation by giving "voluntary prior notice of important wage and price increases." THE PRESIDENT SAID he expects to announce plans soon to strengthen the Council on Wage and Price Stability - the government's inflation monitoring agency. He stated that his administration will "never let its guard down" against infla- tion. "The economic program I have proposed will set the stage for substantial growth in the years ahead," Carter said in 'a niessage to .Congress. Carter said the two-year program would help create one million new jobs by the end of this year, which would leave the nation's jobless rate at about 6.8 per cent. The unemploy- ment rate in December was 7.8 per cent. See CARTER,, Page 8 plan,* 'ast week to make known their disagreement with the plan. Ed Smith, resident of Alice Lloyd and a member of the Ra e Study C'nmittee, was pleased with the poll. "I'm very happy about the results," he said. "The econom- ics of the proposal were not good'. 'It would save $11.40 (per dorm resident) a year. It was based on economic and not hu- man aspects." SMITH ALSO objected to the proposal because the majority of dorm residents next year would be freshpersons who had no con- trol over the proposed action, which Smith called a "gross de- valuing of human ethics." Students raised other objec- tions to the proposal as well. Some residents claimed that the consolidation would inconven- ience residents who were re- quired to eat elsewhere, and that !long lines and crowding would occur in the dorms to which they were directed. There were also complaints that the feeling of community of each dorm included in the plan would be damaged, and that the dining rooms would no longer be available for weekend activities such as dances because of the extra dinners which would have to be served. Because the proposal was de- feated, it is likely that dorm rates will rise 8.4 per cent next fail. With the con'solidation, the proposed hike would be 7.6 per. cent.
