Sixth Annual
Reader Poll
We've made it; this our last Weekend Magazine of the
academic year. Here we present the results of our reader poll.
We received a record number of ballots this year, and we
thank you. The following copy was written by Weekend
Editors Stephen Gregory and Alan Paul and Daily staffer
Joshua Levin.
Best Food
BEST BURGER: Blimpy's
For the sixth consecutive year, Krazy Jim's ran away with
this award. Nothing else was even close.
BEST POPCORN: Tice's
For some reason, popcorn seems to have exploded and be-
come a pretty big thing around campus lately. Tice's edged
out some heavy competition from those pushy new kids on
the block, Stuchi's, as well as the Michigan Theatre and
Stop 'N' Go.
BEST HOT DOGS: Red Hot Lover's
Another runaway winner. This place has only been around
for four years, and it somehow has managed to come off like
an age-old tree-town institution. They'll top your dog with
anything your heart desires, and your stomach fears.
BEST BAGLES: Bagel Factory
Its remodeling may leave a little to be desired, but its
bagels are tops with our readers, though several respondents
clearly felt they didn't have many options. The fishbowl did
get one vote.
BEST ITALIAN FOOD: Cottage Inn
Last year's winner held out again this year over the vener-
able Trattoria Bella Ciao and the pushy new kid, Gratzi's.
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
BEST KOREAN FOOD: Steve's Lunch
It edged out Kana by a mere three votes. Tight race. Hur's
Campus Cafe also did themselves proud. Maybe Steve's
won, because it is the only Korean restaurant to advertise
"4char-grilled steaks."
INTERVIEW
Continued from Page 28
A: I was in my school newspaper,
but not because I was a journalist.
They had a picture of my dorm room
for new stylesand concepts for how
to decorate your dorm room. I had all
my record albums taped on the wall.
I never wrote a word.
D: What were you involved in while
in college?
A: I did do a radio show, an oldies
show from 2-4 a.m. No one was
listening, so we did it for each other.
Two of us would go up there to the
station and the other eight guys
would be back in our suite we lived
in. We'd all be up until four. We'd
talk to each other over the radio. My
best friend, his nickname was
Mendel, we'd stop a record right in
the middle and say, "Mendel, if
you're listening, call right now."
Sure enough, the phone would ring.
D: What's your impressions of
Michigan?
E A: I didn't know it was such a good
d
school when I came up here. I
thought it was just a big school.
The students here are so bright.
They're on top of it.
You will go anywhere in the
world, and you will find someone
with a Michigan shirt on. Tommy
George, my best friend at the Free
Press, who just joined the New York
Times, was in Hawaii with me in
some little tiny jazz place and there's
a guy with a Michigan shirt. We're
walking down in Australia - there's
a guy with a Michigan shirt. I was
in Mexico, and there's a Michigan
shirt.
D: What's your impressions of Bo
Schembechler?
A: Bo's a great coach and a really
interesting guy. It's been a real
challenge to get underneath that
exterior to see that there's a pretty
decent man underneath all that crust
and gristle.
One day I just came in to do an
interview and it just happened to be
at the end of the day. He didn't have
anyplace to go and after the-inter-
view was over and we actually talked
for about 40 minutes. In those 40
minutes I saw a whole side of him
that was different. He put his feet up
on the desk, he let himself become a
regular guy for a couple of minutes.
He's quite a good man in principal
and he knows right from wrong. He
knows what's important in life.
Once I.saw that, every other time I
dealt with him I always looked -at
him a little differently.
D: Any interesting stories to tell on,
Bill Frieder?
A: The best story I have with
Frieder is when I went recruiting
with him. We rode in the car to-
gether, and it was snowing out, and
he went all the way... I don't know,
50 miles, just to see these two seven
foot guys who were sophomores.
All he did was stand outside the
locker room and they came out and
he kind of poked his head out. Then
they ran off and he said, "Well,
that's it." I said, "That's it? We
spent two hours getting out here and
that's it?" He said, "That's it, be-
cause we aren't allowed to talk to
them." Boom, he went back in the
car. Just spending that night with
him - he was babbling on and on,
he was talking to fifteen people at
one time, they're all telling him
about this recruit and that recruit he
should go after. It was funny. It was
interesting. It was enlightening. It
really showed you how his mind was
like a computer. It can be working
on several disks at once.
D: What's your relationship with
Willie Hernandez since he dumped
the bucket of ice on you?
A: Willie and I are now okay. On
opening day in Boston I made a
point of going up to him and I said;
"Hey, I hope you have a good sea-
son." I shook his hand and he said;
"Thank you, man."
D: You've received some criticism
for the commercial that aired poking
fun of the Hernandez incident. Was
this your idea?
A: No. No. It was not my idea. I
was not for it. I think the Free Press
wanted to show justice had been
done and that there were no hard
feelings. I didn't think it was any-
thing malicious. I never thought it
was a good idea. I did finally give
my consent to it, so I cannot ab-
solve myself from blame.
D: How did you get your start in
sports writing?
A: Originally, I was a musician. I
was not having much success in it, I
was not very much of a drug person,
and all the deals seemed to be made
over drugs. I said; "Where's the mu-
sic?" and they said; "We'll talk about
music later, let's do some drugs." I
was looking for something creative
that you could still use a little brains
- which I found being in the popu-
lar music business in New York
City to be a liability. So I volun-
teered for a weekly newspaper, The
Queens Tribune. It's the kind of pa-
per they give out at supermarkets.
D: What kind of work did you do
there? -
A: I was covering school board
meetings, and I thought it was a
presidential election. I'd ask ques-
tions like "What do you mean you're
not going to put a parking meter in
there?" I thought that's what you had
to do. I covered 'no name' politi-
cians. Well, two of the people I
covered were Geraldine Ferraro and
Mario Cuomo. I remember talking
WCBN disc jockey Chris Lindensmith spins records in the Fishbowl to promote the radio station.

BEST CHINESE FOOD: Sze-Chuan
West
Everyone's favorite cave won convincingly despite strong
challenges from Middle Kingdom, last year's winner, and the
two new joints, China Gate and the Great Wall. It seem that
everyone time you turn around, a new Chinese restaurant has
opened up.
BEST JAPANESE FOOD: Donburi
This place is the only fast food Japanese restaurant in
town, but don't let the speed of the service throw you -
Donburi's got some good food. And it's pretty cheap -
well, maybe not for fast food but definitely for average
Japanese cuisine.
BEST SEAFOOD: Real Seafood Com-
pany
Okay, this no surprise, and you all know that this place
has great seafood. But here's something you may not know
and should; you get a free meal on your birthday. So, it's
the perfect place to take dates on their special day. Word has
it that the rolls and coffee are not to be missed.
BEST JUNK FOOD: Stop 'N' Go
We guess the place deserves this award since it is the only
store in town where everything in its stock is, indeed, junk
food. The problem with this category is that people have
different ideas on what junk food really is - McDonald's,
Village Corner, and Sully's were the runner-ups.
BEST MEXICAN FOOD: Chi- Chi's
Hey, we don't do the voting. We just type these things
up. Our intrepid restaurant reviewers would never agree.
