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.

Electricity tenderizes
beef quickly, efficiently
By SUSAN FLORENCE
Battalion Reporter
I I The beef that consumers purch-
I ase in meat markets and eat in
■ restaurants not only is more ten-
11 lira 4er than in the past, it also is che-
■ mical free.
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

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

aulVI-

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.

signed to fulfill the needs of the
community, Stribling said. 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.
Dennis Corrington, Director
of Intramurals, and Student
Body President Ken Johnson
will attempt to clear up the con
fusion surrounding the boost
from $5 to $20 of the entry fee
for intramural teams, Stacy
Graf, RHA Director of External
Affairs, said.
RHA set up the session to
give Johnson and Corrington
the chance to explain to hall
presidents and intramurals
chairmen the reasons behind
the sudden jump, Graf said.
