Boycott Has Little No BeE BY AARON MEDLOCK Gamoack Staff Writer A national meat boycott has had almost no effect on USC's dining halls, according to Robert Mayhan, director of University Dining Ser vices. Mayhan reported that meat entrees sales were slightly down at Capstone cafeteria, but nothing drastic. He added that the other uni versity dining halls had not been affected by the meat boycott. Desite an increase in prices on March 26, students are continuing to buy as much food as ever from the dining halls. "The price increase came about because of phenomenal food costs," Mayhan explained. University dining halls bad been operating under the same prices since 1971 even though their food costs have risen over the past two years. For an example, Mayhan used the prices of diced beef and bacon. In January, 1971, dining services paid 76 cents per pound of diced beef. As of last January, the price had increased to 93 cents and diced beef is presently selling for $1.23 per pound, an increase of 61.8 per cent in two years. In 1971, sliced bacon sold for 55 cents a pound, increased to 59 cents in 1972 and sold for 95 PMENTS BELLS by LLS by JACKETS by LEVY'S TCHES BREW ady & Assembly ILP ITED 00 -2:00 The dozen works in the exhibit created by Ira Winarsky include an American flag which waves when spectators talk to it, a dance floor which plays music when someone stands on it and a "cancer machine" which goes through a dying action when a viewer who is smoking walks by.
