Plain packaged foods offer alternative to consumers
By VERNON SMITH
Staff Writer
The term no frills usually brings to mind airline flights in cramped seats and automobiles without air conditioning or radio. But now it is being associated with food items in plain package that don't have the price of the item, packaging that increases the price of the item.
In the food industry no trillis food items are known as generic items and are placed in plain containers labeled only with what is contained inside.
The Dillon chain of food stores in Lawrence recently has introduced the generic items. Ron Koeff, director of purchasing and merchandising for Dillon stores, said that the company stores the opportunity to offer high quality food products at reduced prices.
Koett said the generic items were another option to help shoppers reduce their grocery spending.
NUTRITIONALLY, he said, the generic items were of the same quality as the national brands. The only differences are in
the appearance of the products and in the cost of the packaging.
For example, he said, fruit was packed in a lighter syrup than the national brands and cost more money.
The public's response to the new line has been excellent. Koeft said.
LAHM SAID that when there was a difference in quality between national brands and the generic items the label on the can would point that out.
Keith Lahm, assistant manager of the Dillon store at 1740 Massachusetts St., agreed with Koeft and said customers seemed to be happy with the generic items, which are distributed by Topco Associates of Skokie, III.
For example, he said, the label on a can of pies says, "Peas may vary in color, size or flavor."
At each Dillon store, the complete line of generic items is located in one section to make it easier to find the items. Saturday morning services voiced their approval of the generic line.
"I think the labels are really nice," John Wilson, Morris special student, said. "The
macaroni and cheese is good and I wish they would come out with a line no trilots frozen

agreed.
"I think it's a good idea because what really counts is the quality inside and not the number of features."
ALTHOUGH Dillon stores now carry the generic line, the managers of some of the other Lawrence groceries said they had no plans to distribute the no frills line.
Jack Leacherman, a manager at the Failley's store at 2525 St. Iowa, said, "We have no plans whatsoever to introduce a similar line, although we had a chance to do so a year ago. We already offer comparable merchandise under a brand name that is similarly priced and is of a quality that is good, but if not better than the generic line."
Kenneth Simmons, manager of the Safeway store at 711 W. 23 St., said merchandise similar to the Dillon generic line was in and out of his store all the time. He said that customers should be aware that a cheaper price usually meant a reduction in

Al Long, manager of the Kroger store at 23rd and M辛达Drive, said, "we already have similar merchandise, only we’re proud enough to put our names on it."

traduced. The food items are packaged in plain white containers and are offered to customers at reduced prices.
Homosexuals in the military are subjected to flagrant discrimination and abuse, but homosexuals are still not treated as such.
"It is unbelievable what goes on at military bases," he said in speech to about 20 members of the Army's air services.
"Homosexuals are raped, beaten and harassed by other military personnel. If someone is discharged on the grounds of homosexuality, he can't receive an honorable discharge and he has a blot on his lips that follow him for the rest of his life."
HOPKINS said she recently set up a Gay Injunctions staff in support of two lesbian women who were allegedly sexually abused and beaten while stationed at *Fort Riley*.
Man charged in Flynt attack
NORFOLK, Va. (AP) —A young man was charged in warrants obtained last night with the attempted murder of Hustler magazine owner Larry Flvnt, the police said.
Capt. Don A. McMansen said Teddy Morris, described as a short man in his 20s, was arrested at a Norfolk bar last night. He was held by being at the Norfolk police on a fugitive warrant. He is charged with two counts each of murder and assault, attempted murder of Fletty and his lawyer.
Flynt, 34, and Gene Reeves, Jr., 47, were under police guard at Button Gwinnett Hospital in Lawrenceville, Ga., John Crankleton, county police chief said. During about seven hours of surgery, in two operations, doctors removed Flynt's spleen and liver. After a period of focused stomach and liver damage, both men were listed in critical condition yesterday.
Hopkins said she met the two women, and Ute Mueller, through mutual friend, at the Jewish center.
Hopkins proclaimed her sexual preference publicly in July during a gay rally sponsored by the Christopher Street Association, a gay organization in Kansas City, Kansas. She has been a spokesman for the group since then.
when she heard of the discrimination they had received in the military.
"I've talked to 150 gays in the service in the past four months and they all say they've been discriminated against in some manner," Hopkins said. "I saw there was need to establish a fund as soon as possible to help gays fight job discrimination."

Hopkins took Kelly and Mueller had filed Chapter 13 papers in January requesting discharges on the grounds of her injury, but the discharge was spread throughout the base, she said.
The former senators—Kevin Glish, Kansas City, Kan., freshman; and Mark Jensen, Overland Park sophomore—were elected in the state's elections with two write-in votes each.
Hopkins said Kelly received a general discharge from the army last month. March 13.
"It was blatant discrimination that this news was looked," Hopkins said. "As a vice president of the American viceman and Cindy Kelley was threatened by a servicewoman with a knife. Nothing was done."
"MUELLER's commanding officer was supposed to sign her discharge papers by a day before."
"I want to bring this discrimination to the attention of our elected representatives," she said. "We elect them and our taxes pay their services. They should respond to our demands."
HOPKINS said she hoped to collect enough money for the injustices fund to fight the alleged discrimination in court. She also planned to start a letter-writing campaign to help obtain a discharge for Mueller, she said.
A source in the Student Senate office said yesterday that two Fine Arts senators had resigned because of a lack of interest and a class conflict.
"Ue Mueler is still in the army and still working extra duty," Hopkins said. "Her commander officer has no reason to refuse her request." The Army must make he pay for being homosexual."
Hopkins said Mueller and Kelly went AWOL last fall as a result of the alleged harassment. Mueller was court martialed, her pay was cut for two months, her rank dropped and she received extra duty, Hopkins said.
Hopkins said she wanted to draw attention to the discriminatory that homosexuals face in society.
"would like to eventually turn the fund over to an organization that can wage legal battles for homosexual rights," she said. "Everyone should be aware of gay issues."
to do it yet because he wants to make her an example to other gays on the base."
