Rising food costs may be hard for Soviets to handle
By Patricia Rojas
Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev's increase in food prices may be good medicine for the Soviet economy. But the country can immediately digest.
Kansan staff writer
"People are living on a daily basis," said Sergei Shandarin, a visiting Soviet professor of physics and astronomy. "They don't have time to think about the remote future.
"I expect to see some demonstrations because of this increase."
'People are living on a daily basis. They don't have time to think about the future.'
Ground beef, milk and bread prices are among those items whose prices will increase in the Soviet Union beginning April 2, as a result of Gorbachev's economic measures announced yesterday.
Shandarin, who arrived at the University of Kansas in August 1988, said he thought Gorbachev's price increases might help the Soviet economy in the long run by generating more national income.
"Most of the people will be hurt with this," Sandarin said. "And if the economy doesn't improve, people will lose hope."
The measure, however, will not satisfy the immediate needs of the Soviet people. he said.
Roy Laird, professor emeritus of political science, said that about two-thirds of the problems in the nation were related to food scarcity.
"If they can solve the food problem, most of their other problems will be alleviated." he said.

But the food shortage is complex and difficult to solve, he said.
"Part of the problem is that the production of food in the last decade has not kept up with the population growth." Laird said.
Another shortcoming is the Soviet infrastructure. Many of the fresh products have not been stored in poorly storage facilities and poorly constructed roads, Laird said.
He said that often 40 percent of the total production of goods, such as livestock and vegetables, was wasted before it reached the consumers.
Shandarin said that although Gorbache's measures eventually might ease some of these economic failings, there still were many other problems either — including serious environmental, social, ethnic and political ones.
"Unfortunately life has many sides, not only the economic." Shandarin said. "It's like someone who can tell you what's bad and can't just prescribe one medication."
Hair undone
Kelly Campbell, Overland Park sophomore, tries to control her hair during a gust of wind. Strong southerly winds, gurgling up to 40 mph, brought temperatures in the 70s yesterday but created difficulties for those who chose to study outdoors. Unseasonably warm weather is expected to continue today with temperatures rising again into the 70s.
Cookbook to bring fiction to the kitchen
Recipes will have literary connection
Kansan staff writer
By Sarah Davis
Kaeran staff writer
It all started with some very mus tardy and vinegar deviled eggs.
When Katherine Braun visited her sister a couple of years ago, she dined on deviled eggs, which were inspired by the novel "Sometimes a Great Notion" by Ken Kesey, which her sister had read.
That was when Braun decided to sponsor a contest that involves finding food in literature. Her intent is to teach students from the reference libraries their rexipes.
"I want to collect all these references to food that are in literature and then match them up with recipes. Braun said it, "I want to literate it." Literate it, he mustardy and vinegar deviled eggs — that will be my entree!"
through her Santa Monica, Calif. company, the Katherine Braun Co., which specializes in technical writing for attorneys.
Braun sent letters and fliers announcing the contest to English departments at universities across the country, including the University of Kansas.
Braun is sponsoring the contest
For the most outstanding example of food she is offering a $100 prize
So far, out of the 30 entries she has received, the most unique example was from a student in Maryland. A character in the play "Volpone" by Ben Johnson is trying to seduce a girl who wants to eat her, prepare for her of "heads of parrots, tongues of nightingales and brains of peacocks and ostriches."
She also received an example from the novel "Ulysses" by James Joyce that involved a man who "liked thick giblet soup and nutty gizzards, stuffed roast heart, liver sliced, fried with crust crumbs and grilled mutton kidneys."
Because these recipes might be a little difficult to create, Braun said she hoped to find some really creative cooks.
She said she had received some examples that really could be duplicated, such as liquers, New Orleans cocktails, a reference to bacon, kale and milk.
Braun has received only two entries from KU. One of these entries was from Kathleen McGee, who sent a reference from a play.
"I think it will be difficult to execute, but a unique way of approaching a cookbook to try to completely invent a recipe that follows a reference in literature," she said.
Braun said that she was looking forward to putting together the cookbook and that she planned to organize it by literary categories such as Shakespeare, detective and contemparary U.S. fiction.
ent periods in history, so it's great," she said.
Ellen Redding Kaler, graduate teaching assistant in Kalen, sent a reference involving a man chewing on a greasy porkchop.
She said the idea of finding food references was interesting to people in the English field because of their interest in literature.
I'm getting literature from differ-
"She's got a built-in audience with all us literary types," she said. "It sounds fun. It's fiction in the kitchen."
All examples must appear in a fictional work and be written in English. The deadline is Sept. 1, and entries should include the author's name, the title of the work, and photo where the food reference and the photo where the food reference is found. The food reference should be highlighted.
Participants may enter more than once. Send entries to the K.B. Company, 1121 14th St., Santa Monica, CA 90403.
Iowa, Kansas regents approve student exchange
The Associated Press
AMES, Iowa — A reciprocal instute tuition agreement between Iowa and Kansas has been approved by the Iowa Board of Regents.
The student exchange agreement, approved in January by the Kansas Board of Regents, allows two undergraduate students and a graduate student to complete an all-in Kansas occupational therapy program at in-state tuition rates.
Likewise, five undergraduate
from Kansas will enroll at Iowa's
Missouri State University.
College of Liberal Arts at the resident in-state tuition rate of $1,952 Students would have to apply for directly to the respective programs.
Iowa Regents deputy executive director Robert Barak said yesterday that the costs of the reciprocal program were about equal.
Kansas is able to send two more students because it is not as expensive to train students in actuarial mathematics or equational therapy education, he said.
Barak said he and his counterpart
in Kansas initiated the proposal in the year ago while attending a meeting.
The program was to be called a reciprocity agreement, but board president Marvin Pomerantz of Des Moines suggested a name change.
"In the past, board policy has resisted reciprocity with other states. he said. If we'd call it "unfair," then reciprocity, I would feel better."
To be eligible for the waiver of out-of-state tees, a student must demonstrate that he or she satisfies the
residency requirements of the respective home state, maintains a full-time continuous enrollment and satisfies academic progress.
The agreement becomes effective July 1 and remains in effect until June 30, 1993. The agreement will continue for successive one-year periods, and the state to terminate the agreement, according to a report to the Regents.
There will be a waiting list should additional students choose to participate, the report said.
