Restaurants are usually crowded on Saturday
night, and Aggie football weekends add to the
lines. These people are waiting for supper in
front of Pelican’s Wharf in College Station.
Managers and owners of food establishments
say they like the extra business on football
weekends and buy extra stocks to prepare for
the fans. One said he wished the Aggies
played at home 52 weeks a year.

Tenth Supreme Court
term now in session
United Press Internationa]
WASHINGTON — The Supreme
lourt has agreed to consider
hetherthe FBI must get a specific
o-ahead from a judge before its
gents may break into somebody 7 s
iffice to set up a “bug.
The wiretap authorization case
as one of about 900 on which the
»urt issued orders Monday, the first
neetingofthe 10th court term under
'hief Justice Warren Burger. Other
natters the court acted upon ran the
'amut from the export of minnows to
leath penalties to baseball player
ales.
The justices agreed to hear argu-
nents on random checks of driver’s
licenses in Delaware, on the treat-
nentin New York of federal prison-
rs before trial, and on access to
able television. It turned down ap-
)eals on searches of newsrooms and
>n an out-of-order case challenging
he pardon of Richard Nixon.
The wiretap case came to the court
from New York. Lawrence Dalia got
five-year sentence in connection
with the 1973 hijacking in Brooklyn
a $250,000 truckload of polyester
abric.
FBI agents got some of their evi
dence against Dalia by a “bug,” or
hidden microphone. They had got
ten a court order to install the mi
crophone, but Dalia contended they
also should have gotten a specific
order allowing them to break in and
install it.
The evidence they got that way
should have been thrown out of his
case, Dalia contended.
The trial and appeals courts
turned down Dalia’s claim and he
appealed to the Supreme Court,
which will hear arguments on the
issue later this term.
Random checks by police in De
laware to see if drivers have their
licenses and registrations will be ex
amined by the court. The state ap
pealed a lower court ruling that
threw out the marijuana conviction
of William Prouse III.
Prouse said the marijuana an offi
cer found in his car should not have
been allowed as evidence against
him because it was discovered while
he was illegally detained during such
a random stop.
In other actions, the court:
—Turned down appeals from in
mates under death sentences in
Utah, Nebraska, Georgia, Arkansas
and Florida.
—Agreed to hear a Texas man’s
appeal against Oklahoma’s power to
bar the export of minnows.
—Turned down an appeal by Oak
land A’s baseball team owner
Charles Finley, challenging the
baseball commissioner’s cancellation
of Finley’s sale of three play'ers.
—Promised to review a case con
cerning the conditions under which
federal prisoners from New York and
New Jersey are held before trial.
—Agreed to review a case involv
ing Federal Communications Com
mission access rules making it easier
for the public to use cable television
channels in the largest systems.
—Refused to reconsider its ruling
allowing police with warrants to
make surprise searches of news
rooms, even when the reporters are
not suspected of a crime.
—Refused to consider a challenge
by some Colorado residents who
bypassed one lower court to press
their case against Gerald Ford’s 1974
pardon of Richard Nixon.

Food, drinks
Restaurants’ pre-game warm-up
By SUSAN SHILLINGS
Battalion Reporter
Local restaurants and the campus
cafeterias look forward to each home
football game at Texas A&M Uni
versity because of the tremendous
increase in their business.
Each restaurant prepares for
these particular weekends in ad
vance. Business greatly increases
during this period and the various
dining places stock up on all their
food supplies in order to suffice the
crowds of hungry people.
Jesse Ocana, manager of El
Chico, said he stocks up on food a
week ahead of the home football
games.
On regular weekends, El Chico
spends approximately $2,400, but
increases its inventory $400-600 on
football weekends. It also prepares
by hiring extra people. El Chico
stocks up on its liquor supply,
spending an extra $150 to the ap
proximate $533 usually spent on
liquor.
David Hardy, assistant manager
of El Chico, said this first home
game weekend was not quite as
busy as he had anticipated it would
be. He said although the restaurant
had an increase in business of 75
percent over last Saturday, it still
wasn’t nearly as busy as last gear’s
first home football game weekend.
However, he said El Chico expects
twice as many people this coming
weekend.
When asked if he experienced an
increase in business, Ray Martin,
manager of Country Kitchen, said,
“Definitely, no question about it.”
He said although weekends are usu
ally busy. Country Kitchen’s inven
tory increases 50 percent when
there is a home game. Martin said
this past weekend met his expecta
tions.
“I just wish we had 52 home foot
ball games each year instead of
five,” Martin said.
Greg Thorson, manager of Mr.
Gatti’s, said his establishment also
experiences an increase in sales and
usually doubles its inventory during
home games. Thorson said, “We
sometimes run out of food during
the weekends of home football
games because of the huge increase
in business.”
Thorson said the cooks train five
weeks in advance for the first home
football game in order to be pre
pared for the rush that occurs dur
ing this time.
Mike Paniel, manager of 3C Bar-
B-Que in Culpepper Plaza Shopping
Center, attributes his increase in
business to his restaurant’s reputa
tion and location. He starts work a
week in advance of the home foot
ball games. Paniel said his increase is
about 45 percent while to-go busi
ness increases approximately 75
percent.
“We actually overspend on these
weekends so we won’t get stuck
without,” he said, adding that it is
always better to have food on re
serve than not any at all.
Roy Aguilar, manager of Zarape,
says he stocks up on food supply a
day before the home football game.
Orders go in the week before but
food doesn’t arrive until the Friday
before, in order to keep the food
fresh longer.
Aguilar said, after experiencing
his first home game weekend, busi
ness did not go quite as well as he
thought it would. He said that pre
vious records showed an increase of
75 percent on home game
weekends. Yet they did have a bet
ter weekend than an average one,
he added.
Col. Fred Dollar, director of
Food Services at Texas A&M, said
all campus cafeterias have an in
crease in business but the Memorial
Student Center exceeds them all,
primarily because of the nearby
parking area. The opponents’ band
usually comes as a group to the
cafeterias, resulting in a house
capacity.
“We have fed Baylor, Houston,
SMU and TCU bands almost every
year now and all the members have
been a delightful group,” Dollar
said.
The campus cafeterias do not
stock up on food a week before the
game as other restaurants do be
cause their stock is already ordered
in large amounts at the beginning of
the school year.
However, Dollar said, “We do
stock up on perishable items such as
fruits and vegetables usually a week
prior to the game.”
Although the restaurants benefit
from home football games, there are
a few small eating businesses who
do not and the one that all Aggies
are most familiar with is the Dixie
Chicken.
Owners Don Gante and Donnie
Anz said their business goes down
on these weekends.
"Our business is 99 percent beer
and during these weekends the kids
will not be bringing their parents
here.” Canter and Anz said, “It’s
the weekends that nothing else is
planned or going on in College Sta
tion when we have all the business.”
