CAA food surveys reported in Kansan
A survey to help University of Kansas students shop for food more economically in the Lawrence area is being conducted by the Consumer Affairs Association (CAA).
Judy Kroeger, CAA director, said yesterday that the association would take a weekly survey of basic food staples at eight Lawrence supermarkets to determine which supermarkets offered the lowest prices on certain items.
A food chart of the weekly survey will be published in the Kansan every Friday.
In addition to the survey of basic stalps, CAA will conduct in-depth surveys of special food items popular with students, and the next week's survey will list breakfast cereals.
She said the purpose of the in-depth survey was to give students a price range for certain foods and to give the prices offered by each supermarket.
The survey, which will be conducted
Mondays and Tuesdays, also will cover Lawrence food co-ops. Kroeger said the cops especially would be considered in surveys of fruit and vegetable prices.
The survey also will point out whether the stores are fixing prices, she said.
According to this week's survey, no one particular store had the lowest overall food prices; each was lowest in a certain area. The survey also will point out whether the
She said one problem that CAA volunteers had encountered in conducting the survey was the lack of house brands at some locations. The survey respondents tend to be higher than on house brands.

surf, the listed item is the lowest possible
price.
Eventually, Krogerer said, CAA would like to provide information on food prices from the Manhattan area so that KU students can learn Lawrence prices with those of that area.

IN DEPTH SURVEY: BREAKFAST CEREALS
Grams
Protein
Per cent:
1 Heartland Natural Cereal—18 oz. . . . .
NOTES ON BREAKFAST CEREAL SURVEY. Research has found that eating a high protein breakfast helps prevent midmorning slump caused by a drop in blood sugar. A high protein breakfast is important in regulating blood sugar levels the entire day. A high carbohydrate (sugar and breakfast) gives you a quick boost in energy, give it an hour or two after eating it, your blood sugar may fall below what it was when you woke up). For this reason, protein content in your breakfast cereal is important.
Survey indicates cheap cereals can cost more
Cutting corners by buying a less expensive breakfast cereal may cost the average grocery shopper more in the long going to the KU Consumer Affairs Association.
The CAA conducted an in-depth look at breakfast cereal prices as part of its weekly food price survey. Other food categories will be examined in coming weeks.
Judy Kroger, director of CAA, explains the significance of the results of the breakfast challenge. "We've been working on it for a long time," she said.
Figures are given for the number of grams of protein in a one ounce serving of each cereal, the average unit price (price per ounce) of each cereal and the cost of one gram of protein in each cereal. The most expensive cereal, Special K, is one of the five varieties of protein Post Toasties and Sugar - Frosted Flakes are relatively inexpensive, but the cost per gram of protein is considerably more expensive.
CHOOSEY BEGGAR
The Regents are to meet this afternoon to name a successor to Bickford, who will retire from his post Nov. 1. Bickford, who has been the Regents executive officer 17 years, announced his retirement last spring.
Max Bickford, Board of Regents executive officer, yesterday denied charges that the Regents had often met in secret in violation of the state open-meetings law.
Charges against the Regents were made yesterday by the Kansas Higher Education Association (KHEA). Vic Salem, KHEA executive director, said in a prepared Statement that the Regents' home on evenings before Regents' meetings had been scheduled.
Regent denies charges
SALEM SAID BICKFORD had planned such a meeting for Wednesday night but had cancelled it after learning the KHEA team would confront the Reservists at the meeting.
Bickford told the Associated Press that the Regents were "mad" at him because he "hadn't told them where the so-called secret meeting was supposed to be."
Salem said a member of the Regents' staff had told KHEA that the Regents met in closed meetings to keep track of collective bargaining activities of college and university faculties and to "plan strategy against the faculty."
Bickford said he didn't think anyone on the Regents' staff had talked to KHEA. He denied that a meeting at his home had been planned for Wednesday.
MEETINGS WERE conducted before 1970 at his house, Bickford said, when "Rengts" homes were being rocked and bomped" during a period of campus unrest.
Interviews of candidates for presidencies of state colleges or universities also once were at his house, be said, but not since 1970.
"I think we've got to find other ways of financing it," he said, "because there's enough apathy and general lack of knowledge about what the airport does for the community that the public wouldn't go for paying for it."
Regents have attended parties at Bickerdale house, but Regent policies weren't discussed.
BECAUSE the city must gain control of the land to acquire federal funds, the city has entered into preliminary discussions about the future of its lease agreement.
According to the Associated Press, KHEA members went to Topeka Wednesday night to confront the Regents. Salem, who is in charge of most of those peepers, wyeed from Pitsburgh.
city commission would be willing to ask the citizens to pay for the improvements.

Todd Seymour, president of the Endowment Association, said that no decision had been made and that the association would continue its operations until the city made a specific offer.
Seymour did indicate, however, that the association might be willing to sell the land

Chancelor Archie Dykes said the charges surprised him.
Salem, in a telephone interview last night, said he wouldn't say any more than what he had already said in the statement. He did say, however, that KHEA hadn't decided whether to take action against the Regents through Kansas Atty. Gen. Curt Schneider.
"I've never heard of any secret meetings by the Board of Regents," he said, "certainly."
Dykes and the Regents attended a party in Bickford's honor last night in Topeka.
