Taxpayers pick up tab for brass United Press International WASHINGTON — It costs the Navy $31 to serve a lunch of broiled filet of sole to a Pentagon admiral, but he pays only about $4 and the taxpayers pick up the rest of the tab, Rep. Les Aspin, D- Wis., charged Sunday. Aspin cited the admiral’s lunch as an example of the what he de scribed as waste that prevails in dining rooms set aside for the Pen tagon’s top brass. The Navy, he said in a state ment, is the biggest spendthrift when it comes to the wasteful overstaffing of executive dining rooms. “The cost of lunches ranges from $12 in the Air Force’s private dining nest to $15 in the Army’s and $31 in the Navy’s,” he said. “Once again the Navy — home of the $2 billion aircraft carrier — comes in with the most expensive approach imaginable.” Aspin said the high cost of the admirals’ and generals’ lunches “really wouldn’t matter” if they were picking up the tab. “But no admiral, no matter how flush, is about to lay out $31 for his broiled filet of sole, ” he said. “No, he asks the taxpayer to cough up $26.98 while he pays an average of only $4.05.” The congressman said he is not suggesting that the admirals are “lunching on pheasant under glass every day.” The problem, he said, is that it takes too many people to serve the 125 admirals who use the Pentagon dining room. He said the Navy dining room staff of 22 served 13,500 meals last year while the Air Force staff of 20 was serving 28,000. All five executive dining rooms at the Pentagon are “heavily subsi dized,” Aspen said. In the 1980 fiscal year, he said, the cost to taxpayers for operating the five dining rooms was $1,438,322 — $14.28 for every meal served. It cost $419,151 to operate the Navy dining room in fiscal 1980. Of that, only $54,737 was paid by the admirals. The remaining $364,414 came from the tax payers, he said. 130 different classes open to community By FARA ALEXANDER Battalion Reporter Belly dancing, macrame, dog obedience and advanced welding are just four of the 130 different classes offered through the Com munity Education program in College Station. Danny Stribling, director of Community Education, said ab out 2,000 people are expected to register for classes on Tuesday at A&M Consolidated High School. Late registration is Wednesday and Thursday at the Community Education office, located on Jersey Street.

Jexas A&M University resear- [ cliers devised a way to tenderize ' I meat by using 500 yolts of eleetric- | ity instead of chemicals, explains I Dr. Jeff Saveli, animal scientist at | Texas A&M University. This process is cleaner for the paid area 1 1 ie Fiscal' ice. Tto ren iker attend si e said. jy 5 later ik 1 ' up will usuall'i I slaughterhouse, saves money and that, fir if is much faster than the chemical leproblei I process was, Saveli said. : student I The stimulation of the beefcar- ) leave i B cass takes place right after the ay finds i slaughter and within 24 hours the blockedi I meat is ready for the federal grad- able t I ers to inspect. in script:: is Before this process was in vented, meat had to be frozen 16 to 48 hours after slaughtering so the meat could age and become tender, Saveli said. This new process allows meat to bleed better in the slaughtering room, making it cleaner and more efficient in the refrigeration room, Saveli said. This process is cheaper because the slaughterhouse can save on re frigeration costs and the turnover rate is fester because the meat is .D., t0 aulVI- , Ann!* meric® ready for the meat plant sooner, Saveli said. The tenderizing process is very popular because most people don’t like to have chemicals in their food, Saveli said. Using the electrical stimulation makes the beef more natural with no addi tives when it reache,s the meat, market, he s^id. “The most incredible thing is that this process cannot over tenderize the meat because it works on the philosophy that elec trical stimulation brings out the meat’s natural tenderizers,” Saveli said. Meat toughness is normally caused by over-freezing and ag ing. Because this process deletes freezing for a long period, it keeps the meat from becoming tough, Saveli said. Texas A&M has an electrical meat tenderizer in the slaughter house in the Animal Industries Building. Students are taught to use this process in their animal science classes, Saveli said. The process is used only about once a month for the classes and researchers because the animals are purchased from nearby farms which makes it very expensive, Saveli said. he W Minis lid: ' occurs; ally W ? ;p tie ^ ine^C.

The community education program also helps make the school a social and recreational place for resi dents of College Station. Community Education offers classes in dance, language, cook ing, vocational skills and crafts. Stribling said the average cost for an eight-week class is $14.80, whereas an English class for inter national students is free. The instructors for the classes are community members, Texas A&M professors and students. “Their only qualifications,” Stribl ing said, “are a true interest in people and knowledge of subject matter.” Sandy Koslosky, a country and western dance instructor, said she enjoys working with other adults with different lifestyles. “If it wasn’t for that,” she said, “We wouldn’t do it.” A high school Spanish teacher, Kitty Worley said she is excited about teaching adults at night. The program is tremendous, she said. “I really believe in it.” The motto for Community Edu cation is “Everyone Learns and Everyone Teaches.” Stribling said, “Community Education builds a relationship with the com munity and the school.” Meeting set to discuss intramural fee increase By GAVE DENLEY Battalion Staff A $15 increase in the intra mural user fee for team events will be the subject of a meeting between Student Government, Intramurals Department spokesmen and representatives from the residence halls tonight at 8:30 in 229 MSC.
