Reagan loses delegates in Miss.

WASHINGTON (A - Ronald
Reagan's Mississippi leaders
admitted yesterday he 1 o s t
ground after skeptical members
of the state's crucial uncoramit-
ted Republican delegation quizz-
ed running mate Sen. Richard
Schweiker about h i s voting
record.
Reagan brought Schweiker to
Jackson in a bid to stop com-
plaints that the Pennsylvania
senator was too liberal. But
after a two-hour closed meet-
ing, Reagan delegate coordina-
tor Swan Yerger conceded that
"we may have lost one or two"
delegates.
ONE, MAYOR Clyde Whitak-
er of Tupelo, said he was

switching to Ford because of
Schweiker's vote favoring a fed-
eral employment bill.
Before meeting with Missis-
sippi's 31-vote contingent, the
largest remaining uncommitted
bloc, Reagan told reporters he
selected Schweiker to bring the
Republican party together and
to serse the party in the North-
east.
There was no move by the
delegation to abandon its un-
committed s t a t u s after the
meeting, however, and since it
has tentatively decided to abide
by a unit voting rule, all 30
delegates remained in the un-
committed column.
AS THE nip-and-tuck GOP

presidential nomination chase
moved within two weeks of the
first ballot at Kansas City,
there were these other delegate
developments:
-An uncommitted Virginia
delegate, Ray Edwards, an-
nounced his support for Ford,
calling the selection of Schweik-
er "a stupid blunder" by Rea-
gan. But Ford backers among
the state's delegation said none
of the five remaining uncom-
mitted delegates was converted
to the President's cause during
a White House meeting yester-
day with Ford.
-A r i z o n a GOP chairman
James Colter, who had been un-
committed, declared for Rea-
gan. In a statement issued by

R e a g a n headquarters, Colter
praised Ford's leadership and
courage, but said Reagan could
best translate the present na-
tional mood and attitude "into
an enthusiastic majority and
- . unify the national purpose."
Arizona now stands 27 to 2 for
Reagan. .
-Sen. Clifford Case of New
Jersey told Ford at a White
House meeting that, based on
the first formal poll of the dele-
gation, 60 of his state's 67 votes
Were firmly in the President's
column.
--James Baker, Ford's chief
delegate hunter, claimed that
four Reagan delegates in South
Carolina have shifted to uncom-
mitted, mostly because of dis-

satisfaction with R e a g a n's
choice of Schweiker.
ONE OF THE four had told
The AP about his move Tues-
day, but two of the others said
they are still committed to Rea-
gan althotigh reassesisng their
positions The fourth wasn't im-
mediately available to confirm
or deny, the Ford claim. Lee
Blackbimrn, one of those named
by Baker, said the announce-
ment was "premature; they
just jumped the gin." Baker
said his claims were based on
news reports frota South Caro-
lina.
While the Remntbicans scram-
bled after available delegates.

Weather or not
Get the unbrellas out, because it

Are the things Americans eat
really good for them? How
good are fad diets? Is it possi-
ble to survive on dorm food?
The answers to these and other
nutrition - related questions are
all part of "Focus on Food",
an optional program offered
duringfreshperson orientation,
designed to increase student
awareness of the things they
eat.
led by Steve King and Karen
Glane, graduate students in
public health, freshpersons par-
ticipate in the one-hour presen-
tation which utilizes information
on file cards passed out in se-
quence and read aloud by stu-
dents. Frequent questions, inter-
jected throughout the presenta-
tion, are answered by Glanz or
King.
The students are also treated
to a colorful snack of fresh
vegetables and yogurt dip.
THE PROGRAM originated

last spring in Markley Hallas
part of a nutrition project con-
ducted by Glanz, King and an-
other public health student. It
consisted mainly of displays ex-
amining the content and nutri
tional value of the day's meal
at Markley and basic nutrition
information.
Acting on suggestions from
the ho using office and several 40
public health professors, Glan
and King met with the director
of orientation to plan a nutri-
tion presentation for incoming
freshpersons.
"We didn't know exactly
what we would do in the begin.
ning," said King. "We were
out to create something with
only a framework in mind -
'food is not just food'."
HE ADDED, "Orientation is
the first time most of the fresh-
people have an opportunity to
make individual food choices.
They begin to develop many of
