The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, December 7, 1983 - Page 3 Pretzel Bell shut down for health code violations By ERIC MATTSON The Pretzel Bell, a popular Ann Arbor restaurant among University alumni, was closed Monday by the Washtenaw County Health Department because of several code violations including cockroaches and improperly stored food. Although the health deparment ordered the restaurant, located at the corner of Fourth Avenue and Liberty Street;, closed on Saturday, owner Clint Castor kept it open over the weekend. As a result, the department is considering pressing criminal charges. THIS IS NOT the first time the Pretzel Bell has been cited for code violations. According to Barry Johnson, Washtenaw County director of environmental health, the department in- tended not to renew the restaurant's license last April after it failed a March inspection, but Castor agreed to several struc- tural changes in the more than 100-year-old building and make daily sanitation checks.{ The department took Castor's word that he would make changes and, as a result, did not reinspect the restaurant un- til Dec. 1. Johnson said that, in retrospect, the restaurant should have been shut down at that time because Castor failed to make the necessary changes. Among the numerous code violations Johnson cited were a pail of almonds in the kitchen covered with cockroaches, roast beef cooked at too low a temperature, and pots and pans "hanging so that stuff could fall into them." Other violations included a dirty garbage area, no hair restraints on employees, not enough disinfectant in the glass washer, "a large number" of roaches in a dry food storage area, improperly stored soiled linen scattered through- out the kitchen and storage area, uncovered food in the refrigerator, and clean plates stored on the floor. Castor yesterday admitted that the department was justified in closing the restaurant, but said "most of the problems we had were structural." He said he did not close on Saturday because he could not accomplish any of the structural changes over the weekend. The health department was going to seek a court order to keep Castor from opening Monday, but by that time he had closed the restaurant. He also said he did not think the department would press criminal charges because he did not close when ordered, "I'm no criminal," he said.

That legislation revived the commission, which has expired under a earlier law. Shortly after Reagan signed that measure, a spokesman for Sen. Joseph Biden, (D-Del.), said it had been closely understood by congressional negotiators that Reagan would reap- point Smith, the last vice chairwoman and an active supporter of women's rights. But Larry Speakes, the White House spokesman, quoted presidential coun- selor Edwin Meese as saying "ng deals" had been made on who would be named. Reagan's decision drew quick fire from a civil rights official. U.S. could barter food for raw materials WASHINGTON (AP) - The United States could earn as much as $27 billion in new overseas trade and help relieve world hunger - if it bartered its farm products for raw materials from the Third World, according to a congressional study. But while benefits to the government could be significant, there are major barriers to gearing up any large-scale bartering arrangement, including reluctance of cash-hungry developing nations to trade for food instead of currency, the Congressional Research Service concluded. "The paradox is that we have the food, and other countries have hungry people, but have no money," said Rep. Byron Dorgan, (D-N.D.), who suggested that the hunger problem could be eased through specific swaps of U.S. food for strategic materials like minerals and rubber. The study requested by Dorgan suggested, among others, swaps of wheatscorn and cheese for rubber from Liberia, Indonesia and Malaysia; wheat and corn for iron ore from Brazil and Venezuela; and dairy products for Sambian cobalt and copper. The United States is heavily depen- dent upon foreign sources for "strategic materials," raw inputs to the manufacture of defense-related goods. The government tries to main- tain stockpiles of those materials, but many of the inventories are low, the study noted. If the unfilled inventories of defense materials and petroleum were filled through barter of America's farm sur- plus, and agricultural products were bartered in lieu of some overseas spen- ding for defense installations and development programs, the study said, barter trade could total $27.2 billion. Dorgan said the Reagan ad- ministration is flatly opposed to gover- nment-to-government bartering arrangements, preferring instead to leave such activities to private enter- prise. He said he will pursue legislation in 1984 that would force the ad- ministration to enter into bartering arrangements. Some barter legislation already has been proposed by other members of Congress, The Brecht Company Announces AUDITIONS AND CREW RECRUITMENT for "St. Joan of the Stockyards" ' Friday, December 9th, 8 p.m. Saturday, December 10th, 2 p.m. Room 124, East Quad, 701 East University PANTYHOSE FOR THE UGLY f4r;;
