...Cafeteria Manager Wanda Gillespie notes that Eastman has a special problem: "A lot of kids don't get this type of food at home. It takes a while for them to accept normal American things like apple sauce or mixed peas and corn." Gillespie tries, within Government requirements, to serve foods closer to the Latin taste, such as pizza and burritos...
Opponents of Reagan's cuts fear that if price increases cause middle-class students across the country to stop buying school lunches, their districts will be unable to earn enough to run cafeterias with reduced federal subsidies. This would shut off free or cheap lunches for the needy too. So far, however, dropouts have been spotty. The 19-school Central Valley district in Spokane County, Wash., decided it could not come up with the additional $130,000 that it would have needed to run its lunchrooms with reduced federal subsidies.

Walter Sullivan, the most conservative councilor, wasted no time in grabbing Saundra Graham--the only Black, the only woman, and the most outspoken radical on the body--and beginning to boogie...
...Early Greats Martha Graham and Doris Humphrey, for instance, welcomed the summer respite from battling ballet in New York City to present new works in sympathetic surroundings. At one point, they also welcomed the opportunity to snub each other: they led their companies to opposite sides of the school cafeteria. But in the decades that followed, the rivalries waned. The festival has nurtured a range of choreography-Merce Cunningham and Paul Taylor, José Limon and Pilobolus. Now held on the Duke University campus in Durham, N.C., the 47-year-old A.D.F. is a raucous gathering of the barefoot clans...
