Shrauger eats her way to victory Mary Shrauger. recently elected to the Incidental Fee Committee, can add someth ing else to her list of accom plishments — first place in Monday’s ’’John Belushi Commemorative Jello Eating Contest.” With towels around their necks, contestants ate their way through five rounds of gelatin in the EMU courtyard. Shrauger won the final round with a time of 32 seconds. “So much for my diet today,” she said after the contest. Runners-up were Dan “Glubbo” Branton, John Smith, Janet Schneiderman and August Weinstein. Five teams, each with four members, had been formed to eat a bowl of green gelatin with whipped topping as fast as possible. The catch was that contestants had to sit on their hands. The contest, sponsored by the Student University Relations Council, at tracted a large crowd af ter a rather slow start. Media coverage, however, included reporters and camera crew men from both Eugene television stations KEZI-TV and KVAL-TV. Mary Shrauger said the John Belushl Commemorative Eating Contest ruined her diet tor the day.

Residents won't be allowed to dispose of rubber tires, household garbage and concrete, he says "People have a regular service tor their garbage This is really an attempt to get the neighborhood involved,” LeClair says WUN is distributing the dumpsters throughout the neighborhood, and "once they're full, that's it,” he says BRING recycling, a non-profit organ ization, will recycle glass of all colors, flattened tin cans, aluminum, new spapers, and scrap metal, says BRING s Ken Sandusky. Unacceptable items include tires, cardboard, plastics and magazines, Sandusky says. “We basically look at this as a com munity service We feel we'd like — when possible — to support the community,” he says BRING's returns increased during the last three years of the Spring Clean-up, Sandusky says "The first couple of years was a real losing proposition, but each year for the past three years has been much better," he says Residents can take wood scraps up to two inches thick to 1542 Mill St. The neighborhood will use a city-loaned ma chine to convert the wood into chips on May 16 Graphic by Michaal Schafbuch VINO'S SPAGHETTI HOUSE r 1 PIZZA S V isi\ <rs i / . 342-8111 TINO’S • Full dinner menu • 23 varieties of Pizzas • Whole wheat and white crust • Pizzas to go -cooked and uncooked 15th and Willamette New Hours: Mon.-Thurs. 11:00-Midnight Fri. 11:00-1:00 a m Sat. 5:00-1:00 a.m. Sun. 5:00-11:00 p.m. Lots of new FABRIC * LACE * Beautiful selection Reasonable prices NEW SUMMER!
