The Golden Spur's management may be
replaced by Saga, the campus food service,
to consolidate the Sour's food and beverace
service and programming, Dean of Student
Affairs Dennis Pruitt said.
Golden Spur manager Mark Taylor told
his employees this past week that the decision
had been made, and Saga would manage the
Spur next semester.
The announcement of the decision was
made this past week at a Russell House staff
meeting, but Pruitt and Carl Chandler, director

''People can talk about things ? about
things possibly happening ? and I'll go
along with it and say 'fine,' but I don't
believe anything's for sure until it's in
writing," Chandler said.
"For the Spur to be successful, it must
operate as an auxilliary service. An auxilliary
service can't lose money. In order for the
Spur to be a responsible facility it's got to
have a good food service, beverage service
and programming, Pruitt said.
Pruitt said the Spur had not had good food
service for the past 3 or 4 years.

The CIA's minning of Nicaraguan harbors
may curtail the spy agency's increasing

took office.
News that the Central Intelligence Agency
was directly involved in mining Nicaraguan
harbors, a violation of international law,
brought a storm of controversy on Capitol
Hill that climaxed in CIA director William
Casey appearing before the Senate Intelligence
Committee this past week.
Criticism of the CIA was not contained to
partisan alligencies. One of the most strident
critics of the operation was staunch conservative,
Sen. Barry Goldwater who wrote in a
letter to Casey that he was "pissed off."
HE ALSO wrote: "This is an act violating
international law. It is an act of war. For the
I life of me, I don't see how we are going to exrilain
it "

manager said, "We discontinued Saga as our
food service at the beginning of this semester
because their product wasn't fresh and it
wasn't prepared properly."
Pruitt said on a projected basis the Spur
would be losing money. He said a pure auxiliary
service must operate on at least a
break-even basis, and the Spur will not meet
these guidelines.
Although he wouldn't comment about
where the idea for the change originated,
Pruitt said he would have the final decision.
"We've talked to Dennis Pruitt and he
said he would like us to consider the idea of
possibly running the Spur next year, and at
that point we said we would be interested,
but we are waiting to get something from
them in writing that would indicate what

Taylor said the profits from the Spur go
back into the Spur and directly benefit the
students.
Chandler said if the Spur were run by
Saga, USC would receive a percentage of the
profits. He added that having the Spur run
by Saga would eliminate USC's liability for
tne spur s losses.

mining the harbors but also at the fact that
they were not kept informed of the CIA
plans.
The law governing the CIA says that the
director must keep the intelligence committees
of Congress "fully and currently
informed."
BUT THIS was not the first time, Congress
was ill-informed by Casey. Democratic
Rep. Norman Mineta of the Permanent
Select Committee on Intelligence told
Newsweek in October 1983: "We are like
mushrooms. They (the CIA) keep us in the
dark and feed us a lot of manure."
That same article also seemed to
foreshadow the current controversy. "Critics

Congress could go too and damage the CIA
as it did in 1970s.
During that period, Congress cut the
clandestine agency's budget by 40 percent
and personnel by 50 percent. Also,
operatives were reduced to around 300 during
the presidency of Jimmy Carter. In the
early '60s, the CIA had thousands of

Since Casey took over, he has convinced
Congress to increase the agency's budget 20
percent or more each year and a substantial
increase in CIA employees, according to
Time.
And, Time and Newsweek agree that the
quality of reports the CIA presents has improved
under Casey's leadership.
The CIA churned out 60 national intelligence
estimates, a quintupling from the
previous year and Casey's reorganization of
analysts has also improved the reports, according
to Time.
