Domino's delivers in Honduras

By CATHERINE KIM
"Domino's Pizza Delivers!" is a
familiar quote to pizza lovers
everywhere in the United States,
and its Spanish equivalent is well
on its way to achieving equal fame.
To celebrate the first Domino's
Pizza that opened in Honduras two
weeks ago, Domino's Pizza mogl
Tom Monaghan travelled with U.S.
Representative Carl Pursell (R-Ann
Arbor) last week to San Pedro Sul
to check its progress.
Monaghan opened the store as
part of the Caribbean Basin Initia-
tive (CBI). According to Pursell's
press secretary Gary Cates, "The
program is sponsored by the Federal

Commerce Commission. It's sup-
posed to encourage businesses based
in the United States to expand in
the third world and Latin American
countries to raise the standard of
living."
John Hingst, Monaghan's
national director for public re-
lations, said Domino's will not
profit through CBI. "We get duty
free access to the United States, but
we're not going to make pizzas and
ship them to the States, so that
doesn't help," Hingst said.
"We plan to invest all of the
profits in the area. In effect, this
will be a charity operation," said
Monaghan.

"The profits will go into buil-
ding various plants, such as a water
purification plant," Hingst said.
"Mr. Monaghan also plans to fund
the various projects in the local
mission designed to raise the stan-
dard of living of the area."
"He travelled to Honduras about
a year ago, and was introduced to a
missionary priest. Mr. Monaghan
thought, even if we only break even
on the plants and projects, we
would still be providing much-
needed jobs to the area, and
eventually raising the standard of
living."
The Honduran Domino's has
reported excellent sales since its
opening.

Cyclists raise money for MS victims

By GRACE HILL
More than 300 cyclists hope ,to
raise over $100,000 to improve the
quality of life for Multiple Sclero -
sis patients and their families in a
two day bike tour that will stop to -
morrow night in Ann Arbor.
The tour, arranged by the Michi -
gan Chapter of the National MS
Society, will begin tomorrow at the
ArAr ta tinin T)Parhnrn ant end

the next day in Jackson, with an
overnight stay at Mary Markley
dormitory.
Profits from the tour will also
be used to look for causes and cures
of MS, a chronic and progressive
disease of the central nervous
system.
Last year 144 cyclists raised
$55,000 for the event. So far this
vear '12 hikrs reistered fnr the

tour.
"There's quite a range of people
(involved in the event)," said Kathy
McGrath, director of special events
at the Michigan Chapter of the
National MS Society. "Last year
ages ranged from 14 to 55, and 68
percent of all participants said that
it was their first bike tour."
Participants must obtain pledges
of $1 per km to total $150 said
McGrath. The top fundraisers can
win prizes that include a bike tour
weekend for two in Burlington,
Vermont.
WDIV's Editorial Director, Sue
Carter, will also be participating in
this weekend's event. Carter is
biking for her brother, who has
MS, but she also has other reasons
for participating in the tour.
"Even without the (family) con -
nection, I think it's important
work."

Cary Cerrington, a DJ from Ann Arbor's WIQB radio station, passes out
free drinks, hamburgers, and fries Wednesday at McDonald's on South
University to Tammy Olson, her son Anthony, and Jennifer Bird. As a
promotional stunt, WIQB Program Director Jeff Cole said they
distributed about 900 burgers each day to approximately 800 hungry
people.

The Alumni Association has
selected a committee of ten Univer-

The Alumni Presidential Selec-

tidn Committee, announced today,
includes top administrators from
four Universities and five graduates
who have served the Alumni

the knowledge these people would
have about potential candidates,"
said Director of Alumni Public-
ations Noreen Wolcott.

"Although the (beer) flyer is not
technically advertising, it was im -
portant to include it in the competi-
tion because it shows that even the
intellectual environment of a Uni -
versity is not immune to women-
hating attitudes," CACORP Coor-
dinator Carol McCabe said.

An advertisement that appeared
in the Michigan Daily finished a
close second in the local competi -
tion. McCabe stressed the signifi -
cance of the Daily's advertisement
in reflecting and perpetuatingmthe
attitudes in the university commu -
nity. "After all, the Daily is the
newspaper of the community."
In defense of the Daily's adver -
tisement, former business manager
Mason Franklin said, "I chose a
sexual connotation not a sexist
connotation but because it's a cur -
rent trend in advertising."
