KENTUCKY

an independent student new

By DICK GABRIEL
Assistant Managing Editor

You’ll probably never see a
restaurant with a huge golden “B”
in front of it with a sign attached
stating “Over 42 billion pizzas sold.”

That’s because Joe Bologna,
owner and operator of the
restaurant by the same name, turns
down any dfer he gets to franchise
his busines.

One of the bids reached the
million-dollar mark, but Bologna
remained steadfast in his refusal.

“I’ve had many offers at fran-
chises, but I’m not interested,” he
said, leaning back in his living room
rocking chair. “I’ve been offered a
million, but it’s not what I need. My
needs are not that great,” he said.

Bologna is afraid the mass
production involved in franchised
fast food chains would cause the
quality of his product to suffer.

“I turned it down because I’d be
afraid people would try to save
money and not keep quality. The
way everything is prepared fresh,
it’s a little more costly and not as
prditable as a franchise business

ROTC ’s enrollment up;

more women participate

By JERRI DIXON
Kernel Reporter

Somewhat like a yoyo, ROTC
enrollment has gone through many
ups and downs, according to C01.
Arthur Kelly. Professor of Military
Science at UK.

ROTC enrollment which once
suffered drastic decreases in the
early 1970‘s, has been growing at a
rate of 20 per cent for the last twiv
years, Kelly said. He stated the
reason for this is that anti-Vietnam
public sentiment has almost died
down and that the Bicentennial has
precipitated a mood of patriotism
throughout the country.

ROTC students on the UK campus
have increased “in quantity and
quality,” Kelly said.

Want to know where you can get a
used podium cheap? How about
some second-hand dental chairs?
These are the kinds of items thatare
put up for sale at UK’s surplus
auctions.

The auctions used to be held twice
a year but, according to Autry
Bradshaw, supervisor of the space
and inventory office, they now have
to be held as often as every three or
four months. Space limitations in the
Reynolds Building warehouse,
where surplus items are stored,
have caused the increase in sales.

According to Bradshaw’s office,
the next auction will be held “in the
next six to eight weeks."

Surplus items, Bradshaw said, fall
into two main categories —fumiture
and equipment Both are declared
surplus by University departments
if, in the ease of furniture, the items
are worn or broken, or, as with
equipment, the items are obsolete or
broken.

After being carted to the
warehouse, surplus furniture is

Army ROTC jumped from 40 to 80;
this year the number is expected to
reach 100, according to Kelly.
Sophomore and junior cadets have
increased by almost 200 per cent
since last year. The number of
sophomores in ROTC went up from
13 to 36 over the past year. The
junior enrollment increased from 12
to 30 at the same time, Kelly said.
Kelly said the main reason for the
growing popularity of ROTC is its
flexibility. Students can enroll in the
four-yearprogram and if unsatisfied
after the first two years, drop out of
the program without any obligation
to the military. Students in the
advanced program receive $100
dollars a month living allowance,
and students with scholarships are
provided payment for all tuition,
books, and fees while participating

surplus

in the ROTC program, Kelly stated.

The future of the ROTC graduate
is not all that bleak either. Newly-
comrnissioned officers start at a
salary d abort $11,000 a year, Kelly
said.

Another reason for the sudden
increase, he said, is that women
have been accepted in ROTC
programs. Previously, jobs for
women in the service were limited to
the traditional female roles in
nursing, clerical, and com-
munications. Now women can
choose from over 400 specialities,
most of which were once reserved
for men, Kelly stated.

Students interested in Army
ROTC should inquire at Room 101,

formation is available at Room 203,

restaurant should be. I’m more
concerned with quality and keeping
my name as it was when I started —
keeping my image of letting the
customer know I care.”

Bologna’s name, now practically a
legend, was little known when he
began.

He got his start as a cook while
serving as a general’s aide in
Vietnam during the late sixties. An
aide, Bologna explained, was a cook.

The general, a native of
Lexington, talked with Bologna
abmt possibly opening a restaurant
in his hometown. “He said if I ever
wanted to open a restaurant he
would help back it, because
Lexington needed good
restaurants," said Bologna.

After he left the army, Bologna
retumed to his native state of
Michigan and worked as a manager
for several different restaurants.
After three years of working for
other people, he decided to come to
Lexington and take the general up
on his offer.

He worked for a small company
while looking for a cocktail lounge to
operate. Running a pizzeria never
entered his mind.

“About August I felt I was getting
the runa round from the general,” he
said. “So here I was in Lexington,
the only money I had I’d spent on a
down payment for a house on the
south side”

That’s when he went to work for
Blue Boar, figuring “I’d better get

‘stuff’ for sale

Used UK equipment available

to public at regular intervals
after faculty gets first pick

terior designer. He will “pull" the
item if he thinks it can be repaired
and used again, Bradshaw said.

Office equipment such as
typewriters, adding machines and
copiers make up most of the surplus
equipment sent to the warehouse.

Bradshaw said most, if not all, of
these items are broken. His job is to
look them over to decide if they are
worth the expense to repair.

In many cases, the equipment is
already obsolete and therefore not
worth the cost of repairs, he added.

Before planning an auction,
Bradshaw said he makes a list of all
items he will sell, which he gives to
state officials in Frankfort.

They review the listand “screen".
items, checking with other state
institutions to see if they have need

of any of them before the public gets
a cradt at them.

Departments at UK also get a
preview d items before the public
auction occurs. For example,
Bradshaw said the College of
Engineering often uses broken
equipment for parts.

When the state is finished
previewing surplus items, it gives
the University permission to sell
them.

The last auction, held earlier this
month, grmsed $3,077.15, Bradshaw
said This figure, which includes the
sales tax, is representative of the
proceeds of most auctions, ac-
cordiru to Bradshaw’s office.

Proceeds are deposited to the
University’s surpkis clearing ac-
cmnt.andattheendoftheyearthe

money is transferred to the General
Fund, according to Bradshaw.

Of the 258 items for sale at the last
auction, including autopsy tables
and rabbit cages, Bradshaw said all
but eight were sold.

One man bought a pizza oven in
hopes of re-selling it at his appliance
store. Bradshaw said his workers
put the oven on the man's truck with
a forklift, but that the man hadn’t
been able to get the oven out of his
truck and into his store.

Another man bought a set of gym
lockers, and Bradshaw asked the
man why he wanted them. “I really
don’t know” was the man's replay,
according to Bradshaw.

Some people come to these auc-
tions and bid against people they
don’t like in order to drive the price
up on a relatively worthless item,
Bradshaw said.

At one auction, two men were
bidding this way for an old engine.
Bradshaw estimated the engine's
worth at 50 cents, but one man
finally paid 95 for it.

“People come to auctions for all
kinds of strange reasons," Brad-
shaw conchded.

enough for his pizza

back in the restaurant business
somewhat."

It was while he was working at the
cafeteria-restaurant that the
Bologna pizza made its public debut
at a private party.

“At the time I was meeting friends
and inviting them over to my
house,” he explained. Once he got
them there, he fed them —you
guessed it. “My wife made the
dough and I made the sauce,” he
said. “I decided I ought to open a
small carry-out to try to get into the
pizza business. The lasttirnel was in
a pizza restaurant was when I was
16. I was a dishwasher.”

Bologm borrowed $2,000 from his
father, who borrowed it from a
credit union, to open the Maxwell
Street store. While searching for
used equipment, he had heard Er-
nest Columbia was operating a
small restaurant on Maxwell called
the Plantation and was looking to
lease it.

The Plantation drew a slim college
crowd, serving breakfast, lunch, and
dinner of the Blue Plate Special
variety.

“I kept it as it was for the first six
months,“ Bologna said. “I needed
the lunch business from the local
people.”

But the lunch business wasn‘t
enough, Bologna decided that he
needed a way to lure the college
students in to eat during the evening
hours. He decided to sell pizza at
night.

He called his brother Mike, who
was unemployed in Michigan, and
asked him if he wanted a job helping
to renovate the Plantation. So while
a “little old lady” made plate lun-
ches starting at 6 am, the Bologna
brothers painted and wallpapered.

The projected re-opening date was
Feb. 1, but, according to Bologna,
“some wino upstairs caught his bed
on fire. The smoke damage kept us
from opening on time.”

The health department ordered
the damages totally repaired before
the restaurant could open, and
delays knocked the debut back until
Feb. 17. y

“We sold no Italian food during the
day, just at night,” Bologna said.
“We sold 40 pizzas that first week.

We sell that many at lunch now."

The store made $635 that first
week. Bologna now says his weekly
outputof pizza is somewhere close to
2400. Business increased 11 per cent
per week for the first 18 months of
operation.

There was no big promotion, just
hard work, believing all the people
would come back for good food and
good service," Bologna said. He
worked so hard the first 18 months
that he came down with bronchial
pneumonia “That‘s when I stopped
working 18 hours a day,“ he said
with a smile.

It’s his obsession with per-
sonalized quality service, Bologna
says, that keeps ’em coming back
for more. His business grew at a
breakneck pace because of the
power of word of mouth.

“1 never advertised during the
first 18 months,“ he said. “I had no
money, so I figured what was the
use? I just tried to run the
restaurant, trying to survive on
what it was.

“I ran one ad. Itwas in the Kernel.
I advertised 15 cent beer. trying to
sell pecple. It didn’t work. Only two
law students came in. They couldn’t
believe it. At that time, there was no
other good pizza in this town.”

And the rest is pizza history.

“It snowballed from the beginning
until today,” he said. “My policy is
the product will never change, no
matter what happens.” Prices have
doubled since Bologna first started.

The Detroit native seems to have
the magic touch. Everything he
touches comes up dollar signs. For
one thing, there’s beer...

“After the first 18 months, Schlitz
wrote a story on me for their com-
pany newspaper, which goes
worldwide. When I first started, I
was selling two barrels of beer per
week. After 18 months I was selling
33. Now I’m selling 80."

And then there’s breadsticks....

“After two weeks, we realized that
you couldn‘t get any bread down
here. My brother was at an Italian
festival in Detroit and he saw the
peqile rolling dough and making
breachticks. just dipping them into
butter.

How we can be more efficient

MARK ELLIOT VITTES

The day-to-day operation of
modern society brings about a habit
of behavior to which we, as mem-
bers, become accustomed. This does
not infer that these habits are either
necessary or desirable. Recent
experiences of many on this cam-
pus. waiting on lines which seem to
stretch into a never-ending distance.

 

 

Commentary
are testimony to certain
inadequacies of modern

management techniques in ap-
precia ting the human dimension.

From rock concerts to basketball
games, from parking permits to fee
paying. the modern citizen is a
“waiter." We wait on line in our car
at the drive-in bank window.
Exhaust fumes pollute the at-
mosphere while we swelter in traffic
jams. Think of all the fuel wasted,
affecting energy requirements. Is
all this necessary? Can we rethink
some of the bases of our physical
routine?

Our ability to deal with parochial
and seemingly mundane issues of
daily life may be crucial to har-
nessing effective national policies in
the fields of transportation. energy
policy, and the fulfillment of the
service needs of the population.

Certainly waiting in traffic on
South Limestone is related to
problems found in personal daily

experiences throughout the country;
the necessity for vast amounts of
land for roads, increased gasoline
requirements, and effect upon our
physical and emotional well-being
are areas that immediately come to
mind. Standing in line may be all
right, but when cultural
mechanisms become designed
around waiting, and are thus
dependent upon inadequate methods
for service, frustration and inef-
ficiency rise.

The social atmosphere in which
we participate, passively and-or
actively, is a functioning reality to
all of us. Registration exists,
whether for school attendance or
automobile ownership. Making the
meclmnisms with which we interact
work for us, in an efficient and
unbiased manner, would seem to
benefit all of us.

in our quest to relieve the
boredom, strain, and inefficiency of
forms of human labor,'we have
created machines to relieve us from
many of the physical and mental
burdens of existence. In many in-
stances, however, weare reduced to
being the (mental and physical)
servants of those machines, tied to
acting out procedures which seem to
fit their character. Thus, in rush
hour traffic, we wait patiently in a
sea of machinery, entertained by a
radio or stereo, separated from the
wealth of humanity sitting in the
adjacent cars. Is all this inevitable?

I would say no. As an example, we
can redesign transportation
mechanisms so that mass rapid
transit can replace individual
vehicles in most situations; we can
learn to walk again, and in that
action we might find everything
closer and more accessible, without
the multitudes of parking lots and
roads separating us and our mode of
transportation from our destination.
In fact, without a parking lot
problem there would be no need to
wait on line for a parking permit!

We can start on a small scale of
action: our most immediate con—
cerns lie in problems of daily life
such as thtse found on the campus or
in your neighborhood. Are there
ideas out there to improve the
methods by which we as individuals
are accounted for in all the various
aspects?

How can we reduce the number of
times we fill out our name, address,
social security number, telephone
number, etc., ad nauseum? This is a
center of thought, and from that
weilspring we should be able to
develop a multitude of ways in which
we can ease our own frustrations
with the bureaucracy wherever we
find it, and reduce the difficulties of
those who follow. The potential for
positive action lies in the heads and
hands we possess.

Baptist comment

Concerning the commentary by
Ron Mitchell in the Kernel Aug. 13
we would like to present the Baptist
Student Center’s side of the story.
Apparently Mr. Mitchell has not
collected all his facts. If he had
checked into the matter more
deeply, he would have discovered
that the City Health Department had
informed the Baptist Student Union
that the buildings must be either
repaired or they would be con-
demned.

If Mr. Mitchell would take a look
at the conditions of the buildings at
the time of their demolition, he
would have found that they were
beyond repair. (Pictures of the
buildings before they were
demolished are available at the
BSU. Come over sometime and we’ll
show them to you.) Those occupying
the houses were informed long
before the demolition that a new
center would be built on the
property. None of the families in-
volved asked for help in relocating.

The reason that no new, beautiful
BSU center has been constructed as
of yet is simple —first, it was not
known for sure until this year that
the money would be available.
Secondly, more red tape was en-
countered as to the lack of storm
sewers arri parking (both problems
were finally solved this summer and
bids for construction will be
received Sept. 16.) The city would
not allow corstruction to begin until
these were solved.

As to Mr. Mitchell’s view that all
BSU members are “junior Jimmy
Carters,” he is in extreme error.
Several members are known for
their support of President Ford ( of
course, some of us also support Gov.
Carter). Also, (not all those who go to
the center are Baptists. Many are
Methodist, Catholic, Church of
Christ, or of some other church
background

We hope this answers some of the
questions posed by Mr. Mitchell. We
would abo like to invite Mr. Mitchell
over to the present center toask any
other questions he may have and to
share in fellowship with our

campaign rhetoric of what he or she
will do once in office.

This article will attempt to
highlight some little known facts
about Carter’s record and his views
on some critical issues facing
working people and students.

Carter on black rights

Jimmy Carter’s first venture into
politics was his appointment to the
all-white Sumter County, Georgia
school board in 1956. According to
the March 211 1976 Wall St. Journal,
“...during his six year tenure
(Carter) made no recorded attempt
to implement the Supreme Court
order to end segregation, which was
issued two years before he joined the
board"

Other incidents reveal how deep
his compassion for black people he
now proclaims really is. Most of the
black schools in his district rented
for $25 a year while white students
went to newer larger schools. When
white parents protested that the site
of a new black school would cause
their children to walk down the same
street as black students, Carter
introduced a motion that the site of
the new school be moved (Wal St.
Journal, March 25, 1976.)

Bad news

If Dick Downey’s difficulty with
writing columns (Keme18‘26-76) the
remainder of the year is based on his

inability to find issues that are .

dependent on “administration goofs,
drug-related scandals, larcenous
behavior or political brouhalui” and
other exciting misadventures, he
might redefine his purposes of the
column.

It is important to contribute to or
create a public awareness of
“wrongs.” Yet, when reporters and
columnists focus on the wrongs
almost exclusively, the frequent and
preoccupied focus on the conflicts
misrepresent reality.

It lim g has been a concern that the
“things that work,” the things that
are construtive, are not often noted
and valued in news and com-
mentaries. Instead, news is often
reflective of a barrage of windmills
to be slain. The results of the
people’s utilization of the in-
formation are some action, some
change and much apathy toward the
overwhelming barrage.

Words are effective instruments
that help to introduce awareness of
realities beyond our perceptions. we
need the information and awareness
of news persons so that we might
identify the problems which we can
resolve, communicate intelligently
about, make plans to prevent next
time, or to register as history.

But we need additional awareness

of alternatives ‘that' work, "alters'

natives. d realities that are'not

necessarily conflicts and misad- ‘

ventures. :

It is a columnist’s selective
misperception of reality to con-
sistently seek out conflicts and
exciting misadventures to which he
addreses his comments.

posed to “forced busing” to
desegregate the schools, didn’t
protest when in his school system
most white students were bused and
black students were subjected to
“forced walking.” As governor in
1972, Carter said he would support a
one day white school boycott in
support of a constitutional amend-
ment against busing and support
George Wa llace’s defiance of a 1971
con rt order for school desegregation
through busing (Atlanta Con-
stitution, Feb. 17, 1972). His postion
paper states, “As presidenthe would
work to restrict busing.”

Of course we wouldn’t want to
leave out Carter’s comments about
the “bad effects” of “black in-
strusion” air! defense of “ethnically
pure neighborhoods.” These at-
titudes would leave in doubt proper
enforcement of open housing laws to
say the least.

Carter andlabor
Maybe Carter has virtues in other
areas. Many labor union

bureaucrats proclaim his a “friend
of labir” as they rush to support yet
another Democrat. Let's look at
Carter’s background concerning
supporting the needs of working
people.

Carter defended as of April, 1978,
Georgia’s so called right-to-work
laws in a statement to the National
Right-toWork committee. These
laws outlaw union shops where
everyone getting union benefits have
to belong to the union. The result is
the union are weakened because
people don’t join and expect to get
the benefits.

Without strong unions, the wages
d all the workers are kept low.

Pot ideas

I support revision of the laws
relating to marijuana and the
drafting of pertinent regulatory
legislation. We need a nationwide,
open, intelligent dialogue about
altered states of consciousness. It is
important for our future; its politics,
its ethics. We need to examine our
values in the astonishing light of the
human experience triggered by
consciousness —altering sub-
stances.

It is difficult to have serious
dialogue while marijuana is so
misunderstood, even by many of its
users and promoters, as a vehicle of
vice, or a vice in itself. Marijuana is
“decriminalized” in the minds of the
people: not a crime, merely
“against the law." The law is late in
reflecting this change in the public
attitude.

Marijuana is used by many
“kinds” of people. Some of them are
people of dignity and self-respect;
diligent and responsible people.
Among these people there has been
serious thought given to the effects
of marijuana on the human
organism, and the social con-
cunmitants of widespread use. That
there has been little serious writing
or public discussion of the issue is
surely a consequence of the law.
Here is an example of the “chilling
effect” that foolish laws can have on
free discusion of important issues.

Our research (I say ”our”
because our taxes support it, our
government administers it), looking
for the great ill effect, has lost sight
of the goal: to discover and report
those facts which are discoverable
by way of the scientific method. We
need to lmow as much as we can as
soon as we can, for our country is
undergoing a revolution: masses of
people habitually rattler their con-
sciousness in ways that increase
their sensitivity to environmental
input and to suggestion.

The consciousness of our society
itself is being altered, and we need
information going into it, so that we
can excercise sound judgment.

1974 show that the right-to—work laws
have done their work with Georgia
having a per capita income of $3,088
per year for a family of four. This is
well below poverty level. Of course,
“Mr. Jimmy” as his workers call
him, benefits from paying these low
wages in his million dollar peanut
:helling business.

."he Democrats’ proposal for full
employment leaves a lot to be
desired too. In the April 2 New York
Times Carter states, “In the first
place, no, I don’t think the federal
government should guarantee a job
to everyone who wants to work.” He
goes on to call for 4.5 per cent
unemployment as an acceptable
rate. It might be acceptable to him
and the big business backers of the
Democrats, but it’s not so ac-
ceptable if you are one of the 4.5 per
cent or the near double figure of
under-employed.

Finally, Carter, the “friend of
labor,” attacked members of the
Georgia Education Association for
demanding a pay increase (Georgia
teachers’ salaries rank 44th in the
country). A month later he pushed
through a pay increase for himself
and legislators (Jan. 23 and Feb. 23,
1973 —-Atlanta Constitution). UK
workers are state employes and we
shaild be particularly wary of his
pretense of being our “friend."

We’ie seen how transparent
Carter's claims of being a supporter
d black and labor rights. And, of
course, Ford is no better. We need a
party that sipports our causes not
one that tries to con our vote with
rhetoric.

We propose the Socialist alter-
native of Camejo-Beid to both
Carter and Ford and their running
mate.

League of Women Voters

to sponsor TV debates

WASHINGTON [AP] —The Federal
Election Commission agreed on Monday to
allow the League of Women Voters to sponsor
televised debates between Jimmy Carter and
President Ford, but the financing of the
sessions remained up in the air. Carter,
meanwhile, said a tentativeagreement for the
format had been worked out.

The commission helda series of meetings to
decide whether sponsorship of the debates by
the league would violate campaign financing
laws. It finally okayed the sponsorship idea,
but ruled out direct contributions by cor-

porations and labor unions to pay for the
debates.

Most of the active campaigning on Monday
was on the Democratic side. Carter was in
Atlanta for speeches to Jewish leaders and a
group aimed at reg'stering minority voters;
running mate Walter F. Mondale appeared in
San Francisco.

Carter, interviewed on the NBC “Today"
show, said tentative plats worked out by his
representatives and Ford’s called for three
debates of 75 minutes each, with the first
session to take place in the third week of
September.
