The University will close East Quad's
Hlalfway Inn next year if the snack bar
fails to show a marked revenue in-
crease this year, housing officials said
y,eterday.
Known affectionately by patrons as
the "Half Ass," the popular gathering,
ylace has consistently lost money
throughout most of its 12 year history,
eccoroing to Associate Housing
Iirector Norman Sunstad.
S THE HALFWAY Inn is the only one of
the housing division's snack bars
currently losing money, Sunstad said.
4It needs to break even" to stay open,
lie said.
Supporters of the East Quad
establishment say the administration is
Oicking the easy way to cut costs. "For
them to cut the Halfway is a minor,
detail," said manager Toni Guzzardo.
"This is a vulnerable place to cut,"
Guzzardo said. The musical perfor-
inances and poetry readings in the
4nack bar as well as the association
with East Quad and the Residential
College give the Inn a special flavor,
she said. "We are a unique service."
"THERE ARE real people here,"

seaman', an, LSA sophomore. He said
$e discovered the Halfway when some
embers of a class decided to meet
here, and now he returns regularly to
study and drink coffee. "It's one of the
tew places at the University I like to do
that," Seaman said.

ts who want to save the Halfway Inn.
East Quad residents have raised
several hundred dollars through benefit
events this year, and additional fund-
raisers are in the planning stages.
Residents recently had the oppor-
tunity to allocate portions of their dorm
dues for various organizations in the
dorm, including the snack bar and the
Inn expects to receive several hun-
dred more dollars.
"IT'S A significant demonstration of
community support," said East Quad
Building Director Lance Morrow. "The
community is voting with its dollars."
While housing reports show the Half-
way lost $6,000 last year, Guzzardo said
the actual loss was about $3,000. She
said the official statements do not
reflect her inventory on hand and the
jobs her staff performed which are now
performed by the housekeeping staff.
"What we need. . . is about $50 more
per day in business," Guzzardo said.
"We just need more volume." The
snack bar presently takes in about $280
per day. "We'll be doing fine by April,"
she said.
Morrow said it is possible that the Inn
can be saved, and he has been urging
East Quad residents to patroni'ze the
Halfway and publicize it among their,
friends. "It's not a phony problem," he
said. "It's in our hands."
If the financial situation does not im-
prove at the Halfway Inn, Sunstad said
the snack bar might be converted into a
lounge, with food supplied in vending
machines.
Snack bars in other dorms have been
closed due to financial problems, but
Sunstad said the existing facilities a't
Markley and South Quad are not in
danger because they are consistent
money-makers.

The city's mayoral race began in
oarnest Thursday, as two major con-
tenders announced their candidacy in
the Democratic primary scheduled for

City Councilmember Leslie Morris

clearly."
THE OTHER announcement came
from University law student and for-
ner Washtenaw . County Drain Com-
missioner Tom Blessing, who said he
would work for long-range economic
4evelopment and human services

Local musician Paul Jensen declared

the mayor's office, but was not yet sure
which political party he would join.
No Republican has yet announced his
or her candidacy,' but Mayor Louis
Belcher is expected to run for re-
election. Belcher said he would an-
nounce his decision within a few weeks.
The filing deadline for mayoral and
city council candidates is Jan. 3, and

son (D-First Ward), Virginia Johansen
