According to statistics from the Sales Market and Management handbook, an advertising resource book, $27 million was spent in Lawrence eating establishments last year more than half the amount spent at local grocery stores, and $16 million money spent by residents, students, and visitors.
If the economic problems are not enough, fast food restaurants, in particular, have had to defend themselves from attacks on the nutritional value of their food. Pam Mangrue, registered dietician with Watkins Hospital, said.
*Students definitely don't eat right, but you can dine at restaurants and sum up the benefits of eating in fast foods.*
But you have to be careful about the choices you make."
"Most people think that by taking the top off the bun of a triple-burger with cheese they are saving millions of calories. Sorry, but that's not the case," she said.
Salad bars are one of the most nutritious fast food breakfasts, she said.
"But you still have to be careful," she said.
"just because you order a salad doesn't mean that by the time you get done at the salad bar it is still low in calories.
"People who have a hard time maintaining their weight can exist pretty well on a diet of high-calorie fast foods, but that is pretty much out of the question for the rest of us," she said.

STONE AND THE other residents had thought from the beginning that the only solution to the dioxin problems and the record flooding in December would be a government buy-out.
The elation of Times Beach residents was tempered by the realization it meant the demise of the town.

"This finally is the end of the government's indecision; the end of us not knowing what to do
day to day, but it's also the end of Times Beach as a city."
Tests last fall showed dioxin levels of up to 100 parts per billion and the federal Centers for Disease Control advised people to stay out of town. The new round of tests was ordered after record flooding by the Meramec River in early May, but the flooding aggravated the contamination problem.

Dioxin is a toxic substance generated as an unwanted byproduct in the manufacture of some pesticides, cleansers and wood preservatives. It is known to cause chloracne, a serious skin disorder.
Dioxin has been shown in laboratory tests on animals to cause cancer, birth defects and diseases of the nerves, liver, kidneys and bladder.
County jobless figures rise during January
From staff and wire reports
Seasonal declines in construction and retail sales pushed unemployment in Douglas County to 4.5 percent in January, up from 4.1 percent in December, the director of the Douglas County Job Service office said yesterday.
Ed Mills, the director, said a drop in retail sales after the holiday season and a decline in construction because of the weather usually caused an unemployment increase in January.
He said a drop in the number of part-time workers at the University of Kansas during the semester break was also responsible for the increase.
The 4.5 percent figure represented 1,500 unemployed people in the county, as opposed to 1,100 in December, he said.
Mills said he expected unemployment figures to decline a little in February.
Kansans out of work numbered 79,900 in January, compared to 75,200 in December, the Kansas Department of Human Resources reported.
"I'd say the February figures will be around 4.3 or 4.4 percent," he said.
Fred Rice, a labor analyst for the agency, said unemployment would decline if the weather improved. The weather is especially crucial to farmers, construction workers and some manufacturers, he said.
He said seasonal layoffs at Kansas universities caused some of the increase.
ALTHOUGH MONTGOMERY COUNTY in southeast Kansas still has the state's highest unemployment rate of 13.5 percent, its unemployment declined from 15 percent in
In January 1982, 56,500 Kanisers were out of work, resulting in a 4.8 percent jobless rate.
Rice said manufacturers of durable goods that lost money contributed heavily to unemployment in 1982. Durable goods include airplanes, heavy machinery and concrete.

jobs are ravishing. "There's every evidence employment totals are picking up and will continue to pick up and reduce unemployment," Rice said.
nassau was well below national unemployment figures of 10.4 percent in December and 11.2 percent in January.

"Now we can't know for sure," he said.
University and Senate officials said the ballots and registration forms could not be released because of the pending judicial review. Also, because the registration forms show numbers, members them might violate the Paid-In-Hand 'Amendment', which protects students' privacy, they said.
BRITO SAID THAT Rose had told her to go to the office of student organizations and activities, where the registration forms were being held, and match the number of names with the number of people who voted for president and vice president.
"About 75 to 80 people had registered to vote than actually voted," she said.
"but sometimes it gets hicc at the tables and things get confused," she said.
Usually students register when they vote, she said.
Karen Jeltz, assistant director of student organizations and activities, said she gave Brito the registration forms.

Board, which is also involved in the election appeal, he said.

ROSE SAID HE TOLD the committee that the registration should at some time be matched with the presidential totals but he did not directly tell Brito to do it.
CRAMER SAID STUDENT Senate would have to hire a lawyer or find a law professor to represent it if Walker took the case to court.
He said he didn't think Brito and Jeltz had a conflict of interest when they handled the elections forms. They have had access to the information in the past.
"She ran it as if she thought, 'It's not hard to走她 go through her own feelings to understand Kevin's concerns, but I don't think he has a case at all. It's a classic case of using legal ramifications to harass people."

"He was neatly as possible," he said.

By JOHN HOOGESTEGER
Staff Reporter
Lawrence Mayor Marcel Francisco announced yesterday that she would accept re-election to the City Commission if elected as a write-in candidate in the April 5 general election.
calumnia on it had originally announced that she would not seek re-election to the commission because of personal commitments, but in a letter to the editor in yesterday's Lawrence Journal-World. Francisco said she would mount a write-in campaign.
She said she decided to run for re-election because it was the best way to address complaints about the commission that she had heard other candidates making.
"I NEEDED TO BE in a position to defend myself," Francisco said. "If I'm coming to come out and take a stand on the issues in the election, I have to offer to take the challenge of reelection.

Francisco said that originally she had decided not to run because she didn't know whether she was ready to make the commitment to another four-year term, but said she "had a change of heart."
"I think a lot of people saw the commission for the first time on cable television, and they weren't aware of all the commission was doing. I think some of the media also weren't aware of everything we were doing."
everything we ever did "IWAS ALSO BOTHERED by the fact that a lot of people said they didn't know who was running and didn't know who to vote for."
nighther reason Francisco decided to run for re-election she was her appointment last week to the Human Development Steering Committee of the League of City. She will be unable to act
cept the appointment if she is not on the City Commission.
The 28-member committee makes annual policy statements on the league's stand on human development issues including health, crime and social services.
Francisco did not file for re-election before the Jan. 25 filing deadline, so her name will not be on the ballot. Write-ins are not allowed on the primary ballot.

FRANCISCO SAID SHE was serious about her candidacy and would be out talking with the public during the campaign.

Francisco said she also based her campaign decision on plans to announce on Saturday her engagement to be married.
