Israeli boy hides on plane United Press International TEL AVIV, Israel — A 14-year- old boy outwitted security-conscious guards at Israel’s main airport and stowed away on an airliner to Roma nia to visit nis grandmother, airport police said Thursday. His surprise stay ended when the youth’s grandmother turned him in to Romanian authorities because he “nagged her to death and caused a lot o? trouble,” airport police Chief Aryeh Bibi said. Romanian police put him on the next flight to Israel. The Romanian-born Israeli teen ager, who was not identified by po lice, evaded the airport’s tight secu rity and flew out of Ben-Gurion airport, near Tel Aviv, in May, with out a passport or airline ticket. He also slipped past passport-con trol authorities in Bucharest and stayed with his grandmother in the Romanian capital for a month be fore being sent back to Israel. Police tried to downplay the secu rity breach at Ben-Gurion, scene of a massacre in 1972 in which three Jap anese terrorists — hurling hand gre nades and firing automatic weapons in a crowded arrivals hall — killed 26 people and wounded 81. “After all, we are not talking about an adult,” Bibi said. “He was just a boy.” The youth’s scam, as described by the chief, was deceptively simple. He told security guards ne was with his grandmotner, pointing to a group of travelers that had alredy E assed through security, and they let im pass. Bibi said the boy would probably be charged with departing tne coun try illegally. Customers want more variety Fast-food restaurants changing styles By SUZANNA YBARRA Reporter They want it faster, better and cheaper. Considering today’s high prices, two out of three isn’t too bad. Today’s fast-food customers are tough people to please, because most of them have been fast-fooders since th^y could walk. They’re pros at eat ing out, so they expect more. Restaurants are changing their styles to accommodate the more se lective consumers, by adding a wider variety of foods to their menus. No tice the salad bar at Wendy’s Old Fashioned Hamburgers, and the ham, bacon, sausage and supreme crescents at Jack-in-the-Box; not too shabby for “hamburger joints.” Gabriele Ulrich of the Texas Res taurant Association said people tend to associate the term fast-food with fried food or junk food, but the in dustry is moving toward providing fast, good quality food. Eating the finer foods has its price. Ulrich said that in 1983 each person in Bryan-College Station spent an average $660 on eating out. Brazos County averaged $6.9 mil lion in 1983, 21 percent higher than the state average and 74 percent higher than the national average, she said, probably because the mar ket is stronger among the 18-24 age group, ana most of Texas A&M’s students are in that group. Students don’t realize how much they’re spending until they actually add it up. Creighton Bailey, 18, eats out about every other day. “I’ve probably been to the Deluxe about 100 times in my life, no... more than 100...200,” Bailey said, “and spent $5 every time. What’s that...about $1,000? And I’ve only been going steadily for a year and a half!” Bailey was emphatic that he was not spending his money on junk food. “It’s not junk food, it’s meal food,” he said. “Junk food is stuff you don’t need. Junk food is like...fertilizer for acne.” Bailey said he’d rather do without all the greasy food, and opts The Battalion Number One in Aggieland to buy salads or chicken baskets. A few years ago salads couldn’t be found in a burger bar, or baked po tatoes, either. Brad Quicksall, manager for pub lic relations for Wendy’s in Dublin, Ohio, said Wendy’s sells about 600,000 baked potatoes a day in its 2,840 restaurants. They’re also test ing about 48 new food items, he said. “We know when you can satisfy everyone in the family, you’re more likely to get them back,” Quicksall said. A baked potato has a lot of ap peal, as a full meal or as a side disn, ne said. It has so much appeal, Wen* dy’s spent more that $30 million to market and prepare the restaurants to carry the potatoes. Families are important to the food industry. Children who are taken out to eat become accustomed to going out, a habit that will stay with them when they become adults. E.C. Archambault, better known as Archie of Archie’s Taco Bell and Archie’s 39(2 Hamburgers, said he has seen a group grow up since he wm. COUPON opened his first Taco Bell in 1976. The same group of Bryan High School students wno ate at his first Taco Bell are bringing their families with them now. “It’s a snowball once it gets star ted,” he said. He said every time a new food item is added to Taco Bell’s menu, sales increase 15-20 percent. Cus tomers like variety. They also like speedy service, so Archambault added another time saving service to his original Taco Bell. He calls his new drive-through “Aggie Ingenuity.” The drive- through was built so the passenger in the car receives the food rather than the driver. It takes some getting used to, but sales have increased 30 percent, he said. So, fast-fooders have more to choose from than ever before, and even if they can’t “get change back from their dollar,” they can still get “two all-beef-patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame-seed bun.” Breakfast Special 99* Includes 1 egg (any Style), Hash Browns, Buttermilk Pancakes or Toast.
