x-NATO commander’s
fieart surgery goes well
United Press International
HOUSTON — Surgeons Wednes
day successfully performed open
heart surgery on Alexander Haig, 55,
to correct blocked arteries suffered
by the former NATO commander
and Nixon chief of staff.
Haig was in satisfactory condition
after the 2V2-hour operation, per
formed by Dr. Denton A. Cooley,
and expected to remain in the hospit
al for eight to 10 days.
“It was a triple bypass,” said a
spokesman at St. Luke’s Episcopal
Hospital, meaning veins from Haig’s
thigh were used to bypass three
occluded heart arteries.
“These arteries get stopped up,”
the spokesman said. “In order to go
around the part that’s stopped up,
they insert the vein to let the blood
flow freely.”
“This will be followed by a re
cuperative period of perhaps a

month,” the spokesman said.
The operation was performed at
Texas Heart Institute at St. Luke’s
where almost 4,000 coronary bypas
ses were performed last year.
Haig, president of Connecticut-
based United Technologies Corp.,
checked into the hospital late Mon
day after experiencing discomfort
during the previous week. UTC
Chairman Harry Gray said the heart
ailment was detected during a phy
sical examination last week at Walter
Reed Hospital in Washington, D.C.
“Longterm medical studies indi
cate that patients undergoing this
type of surgery subsequently enjoy
significantly improved physical well
being,” Gray said.
Haig, a retired four-star army gen
eral, took over as president and chief
operating officer of UTC last Decem
ber. He had considered running for
the Republican presidential nomina
tion but eventually ruled it out.
He was elected head of the inter
national corporation six months after
he retired from the military. UTC is
the nation’s third-leading defense
contractor and the nation’s leading
manufacturer of military jet engines.
Haig, a native of Philadelphia, was
appointed by President Nixon as his
chief of staff after serving as a military
advisor to Henry Kissinger and a na
tional security advisor to Nixon. He
held that position until October
1974, when he was appointed com
mander-in-chief, U.S. European
Command. Two months later Nixon
named him Supreme Allied Com
mander in Europe.

Casino ’80 promises
‘little Las Vegas’
By MERIL EDWARDS
Campus Staff
Casino ’80 will transform the
Memorial Student Center into a
little Las Vegas April 18 with a
night of gambling, can-can girls,
auctions and entertainment.
The event is sponsored by the
Texas A&M University Resi
dence Hall Association.
The gambling will begin at 8
p.m. and continue until 12:30
a.m. on the second floor of the
MSC. The auction will begin at 9
p.m. in the student lounge.
Casino chairman Mike Taylor
said Casino ’80 is the biggest and
best yet because it will have bet
ter auction prizes and more
games than in previous years.
“We guarantee a fun time at
Casino, even if you lose. We’ve
really put a lot of work into this
and think it will be the most excit
ing thing this semester.” Taylor
said.
Tickets will be sold for $2.50
April 14-18 at the MSC, Com
mons, Sbisa, behind the Acade
mic Building and at Duncan Din
ing Hall. They will also be sold in
the MSC Serpentine Lounge,
above the check-cashing counter.
At the door, tickets will be $3.00.
Taylor said students will re
ceive $3,000 in play money to use
at the tables with the purchase of
a ticket. He said students may get
in without a ticket, but will not be
able to participate in the games.
“Last year there were so many
people crowded into the lounge
at once for the auction that we
decided to have it run throughout
the night, interspersed with en
tertainment,” Taylor said. “Stu
dents use the money they have
won gambling to bid on the prizes
at the auction. Everyone will get
a chance to bid for the big prize,
though.”
Taylor said the big prize has
been donated by Diamond Brok
ers International of Bryan. Othei
prizes include free dinners,
clocks, jewelry, a get-away
weekend donated by the Holiday
Inn South, plus more.
About 160 dealers and 151
Casino girls will keep the crap
tables, roulette wheels, black
jack, beat the dealer and chuck a-
luck games running smoothly,
Taylor said.
“We’re going to have backgam
mon tables for the first time this
year,” Taylor said, “and they’llbe
run under tournament gambling
rules.”
Can-can girls will perform ab
out seven times during the night,
Taylor said. And when they’renot
performing, Commonwealth, a
band composed mainly of stu
dents who live in the Commons,
will entertain the gamblers.
To help alleviate the crowded
conditions at the tables, Taylor
said additional tables will be set
up overlooking the lounge.
McGovern: change
in food labels coming
United Press International
WASHINGTON — Sen. George
McGovern, D-S.D., chairman of the
Senate Agriculture nutrition sub
committee, says major changes in
nutritional labeling on meat and
other foods are inevitable.
A proposed bill would require
simpler information on labels to
make them easier for consumers to
understand. It would require pre
serving information on calories, pro
tein, fats, carbohydrates, sodium
and cholesterol and listing of each
spice or additive.
Several major food processors tes
tified last month that a standard man
datory system would be cheaper
than the current system which re
quires nutrition labels for foods with
nutritional claims or fortification.
The earlier hearing March 19 be
fore the Senate health subcommittee
dealt with labels on most foods reg
ulated by the Food and Drug Admi
nistration. McGovern’s subcommit
tee hearing Tuesday dealt with label
ing of meat and poultry and related
products regulated by the Agricul
ture Department.
McGovern said major questions
are whether Congress will set the
new policy or leave it up to federal
agencies and whether changes will
be mandatory or voluntary.
McGovern is the sponsor of a bill
to require nutritional labeling, but
at the hearing, he left open the
possibility that a new voluntary
labeling system would be created.
Several witnesses representing
different sectors of the meat industry
welcomed a proposal for a voluntary
system.
James Rill, a lawyer for the Na
tional Broiler Council, a trade asso
ciation for chicken producers, said
the existing voluntary system could

data bank with standardized null
tional information. McGoverns
provides for the data bank.
Myron Zeitz of the Commi
Nutrition Institute, a Washinj
based consumer advocacy
told McGovern a voluntary sy
would not work.
He said some products would
er be labeled under a voluntary
tern because it would not be
interest of companies to tell
that a product was heavy in saltorl
A manufacturer would prefer
withhold information that a hot
is 30 percent fat, he said.
John Mohay, president of the
tional Meat Association, a trade
ciation of meat packers, disaj
with Zeitz’ reasoning, citing a
furter with a voluntary label show
it had 30 percent fat that retainer
share of the market.
Zeitz said that the govemmeifi
recent recommended dietary pi)
lines will be “a hoax” withoutade{
ate labeling. The guidelines retf ;
mend that Americans eat leaf
meat; more whole-grain ceres
fruits and vegetables, and lesssiij
and sodium.
Dr. Richard Hagen, represent
the National Food Processors
ciation, said his organization
worked for decades on improvi
product labeling. He saidmandati
new labels will not result in
proved public health. Achievii
those goals should be left to edtt
tion programs and the health u
profession, he said.
McGovern said physicians may

Hagen replied that if physics

tients about nutrition, theissueis
complex for a label.
