However, because of the size of the Union building, the roaches will often just move to another part of the building until the poison leaves and return to where the food is. y :; The Union had the opportunity to negotiate a contract to have the entire Union sprayed on a regular basis along with food services, but declined, according to Cory Pederson, assistant manager of Union Food Services. "In BaluT Hall, there's not a problem because Gary (Chandler) sprays the whole building," Pederson said, and spraying the whole Union building would be the best way to control the roaches. The consistent spraying may also mean that the roaches arc being forced from their nests, Sachau said. "What I've been told is that when you see them is when the spray is working well." Roaches are also remarkably adaptable animals according to Chandler. When the roach population nears extinction, roaches begin to breed more females to produce more offspring."We've been close to eradication in the past," Chandler said, but they always seem to return. The type of roach that is in the U. produces nearly 40 offspring every two months, he said. They can also become resistant to the frequendy used pesticides. But even if the fogging proves effective, it is difficult to . keep the roaches away. in "They come from the vendors," Galloro said. They come in with the dry foods we have." v ttWc rely on a lot of vendors that bring supplies to our . dock and all it takes is a cardboard box from a vendor that has them in their warchouse,n Sachau said. The roach problem is also not reserved explicitly to the Union. Other buildings on campus and numerous rcstau- rants across the city have roaches. "In Salt Lake City we have a very bad roach problem.

Bankruptcy Code. Portland General soon sued former officers and accountants for fraud. The bankruptcy court trustee also sued former officers, claiming fraud and corporate mismanagement on a grand scale. The threat of being named a defendant in that suit prompted Corradini and her husband, Yin Ross, to pay the trustee (458,000 two years ago. Much of that was to repay loans and travel expenses.

In fact, since September 1993, 20 inspections done on food services have cited an insect, rodent or animal problem of some sort Kerry Cramer, who performs most of the inspections on Union Food Services, said an indication of even one roach or pest is sufficient to count as a violation. Despite these violations, Union Food Services traditionally scores well on most of the more important items on the inspection reports.
