United Way passes
’87 goal of $310,627

By JULIE ESSELMAN
Staff Writer

The UK campaign for the United
Way surpassed its goal yesterday
with a total of $311,267 in contribu-
tions.

Campaign organizers had hoped to
raise at least $310,627. an 8 percent
increase over last year.

“I‘m absolutely ecstatic." said
Jane Johnson. director of Student
Affairs for the College of Fine Arts,
who co-chaired the UK campaign
with Wally Skiba, of Human Re-
sources. ”lt‘s difficult to raise 8 per-
cent more than last year. "

The UK campaign. which began
Sept. 10. drew a large share of its
donations from UK employees. They
could either make direct contribu-
tions or. more commonly. have de-
ductions made from their pay
checks.

Most divisions of the University
had 100 percent participation. John-

Students
say food
too hig

By JOI)I WHITAKER

Arguments about food prices. the
quality and quantity of UK food
were the main topics of discussion
at a meeting between food services
personnel and students last night in
the lobby of Holmes Hall.

Fifteen students attended the
meeting and complained mostly
about DinerCards and the a la carte
Courtyard Restaurant. which re-
placed the Blazer Hall cafeteria.
Students say the prices at the res-
taurant are "outrageous." often
leaving them without enough money
to eat what they want.

The meeting was conducted by
Bob Clay. acting director of Resi-
dence Life: Allen Rieman. director
of Auxiliary Services: Robert
Braun. acting director of Food Serv-
ices and Richard Clark and Carol
Raitx. both assistant directors of
Food Services.

Braun began the meeting by ex-
plaining why the changes to Din-
erCard and a la carte were made.

"We tried to look at food service
in total." Braun said. "The Din-
erCard has allowed us to create
themes in a lot of areas."

One question asked by students
concerned how the DinerCard pro—
gram was instituted. Braun said a
combination of food committees and
a survey of a]! campus students
were vital in the decision.

Leslie Nehring. a nursing senior
and RA at Keeneland Hall. said that
students want to eat. but can’t. “Stu-
dents can go to Donovan and get the
same food for $3.75 that they pay
five and six dollars for at Blazer."
Nehring said. adding that students
can't always get enough to eat with
the one punch of their card they are

allowed.
Students at the meeting agreed

that prices are too high. John Moor-
mann. a biology junior and RA at
Holmes Hall. was one such student.
One of Moormann‘s main gripes was
the raising of prices in the Blazer
Express. He cited a case in which
packages of Planter's peanuts at
Blazer had been marked up at least
10—15 cents above the manufactur-
er ‘5 price marked on the package.

Braun said that that should not be
the case. saying that the philosophy
behind having snacks was that ”if
we can't sell it for as much or less
as Convenient. we won‘t sell it."

Reiman. however. added that
“(Courtyard Restaurant) isn't a gro-
cery store. this is a restaurant."
when told by Nehring that it was
cheaper to go to the grocery and buy
a can of green beans than it was to
buy a serving at the restaurant.

“Do they cook them. provide you
with china to eat them. and wash
the dishes for you afterwards.
though?" Reiman asked.

Although the students who at-
tended the meeting disagreed. Rie-
man said that since the change in
the Blazer cafeteria. the number of
students who go there to eat is up.
But several students said that the
reason most people who go there go
simply because they have no choice.

sion did especially well. reaching 121
percent of its goal as of yesterday.

“We feel exceedingly well about
what we did." said Ralph Derickson,
publicity director for the campaign.
“They (Johnson and Skiba) did a
marvelous job of organizing it."

Students also participated in the
campaign. Events such as Boyd
Hall’s Haunted House. which raised
about $1,000. and the Haggin Foot—
ball Toumament. which raised near-
ly 8900. added to the funds. said Bob
Clay. UK Dean of Residence Life
and Student Campaign Chairman.
Penny Wars, a monetary collection
competition between floors of dormi-
tories. and the sale of food and car-
nations were also included in the
student campaign.

“It‘s been tremendous.“ Clay
said. “(Student support) is always
impressive to me. "

The United Way has more than 160
agencies in the Bluegrass area.

Funds are allocated to these agen- ’
cies based on the continuing needs
