It also may mean an end to the aditional beer drinker’s strength st of crushing cans, the motorist’s me of “toss the can out the win- w,” simple bookkeeping for bev- age distributors, and cheap drinks ir consumers. "You got to be kidding,” snarled E. Sinks, general manager of |epsi-Cola General Bottlers Inc. in Moines when asked his feelings bout the new law. “We expected this to happen. |he trend in business today is more ivernment interference and higher >sts.

Sinks said a case of Pepsi now ists 46 cents more, of which 24 nts is for the legislative handling large and 21 cents is the additional ist of coverage for the business. The law, passed by the 1978 egislature to reduce litter and con- rve resources, requires a 5-cent eposit on most beverage contain- rs. It was written to go into effect phases.

He emerged from hiding late Tuesday. He visited his attorney, Larry Lucas, and was believed to be dis cussing several exclusive publica tion offers for the story of his survi val and flight from the military. After two hours in Lucas’ office with reporters and photographers waiting outside, Benson and his rel atives slipped out a back door as Lucas explained that the long miss ing mountain man would be availa ble for an interview session later. So far, Benson has refused to dis close locations of various hideaways. Some local expert woodsmen ex pressed skepticism he could have remained concealed for 36 years without them seeing him or being noticed by thousands of hunters who invade the mountains annually.

He said he mostly survived by “eating anything I can, explaining that he shot small game and ate wild fruits and berries. Benson’s nephew, Will Stacy, who convinced the 57-year-old fugi tive to surrender, said in an inter view that Benson’s most recent shel ter was a one-room makeshift wooden shack with magazines lit tered across the dwelling. Although Benson could not read when he entered the service, he said in a brief meeting with re porters Tuesday he had taught him self from old school books taken from a junk pile. ^fvpfnamba Eddie Dominguez ’66 Joe Arciniega ’74 If you want the real thing, not frozen or canned . . .
