Domino's Pizza, 611 N. 27th St., passed inspection and the investigation file was closed because the company met the health department's standards, according to Ed Pearce, director of operations for Dominos. Kevin Graham, 22, a former employee of Domino's, told the Daily Nebraskan Thursday that he had filed a formal complaint with the health department because he had witnessed several incidents of sanitation violations. Graham said on one occasion a manager "had me deliver a pizza that had been dropped on the pavement." He 6aid he had found insects in many of the ingredients to be used in the pizza and found several dead insects on the floor when he cleaned. Pearce said he couldn't believe the dropped pizza alle gation because no customer would accept a pizza that had been dropped. "If you have ever seen a hot pizza after it has been dropped, I don't think any customer would accept it," Pearce said." IJuring the summer, insects do present a problem, Pearce said, but employees are instructed to throw away any ingredient or pizza that has an insect in it. Pearce said the company had two incidents of an insect being found Book fines increase . Lack of student cooperation has caused an increase in book fines for reserve materials at UNL libraries. Dean Waddel, assistant dean of libraries for public services, said the new book fine rates for reserve materials, effective immediately, will be 60 cents the first hour on two-hour and one -day reserve books returned late and 25 cents each hour thereafter. Three-day and one-week reserve books returned late will cost the student 60 cents the first day and 25 cents for each day thereafter. Waddel said a number of students have been complaining about reserve materials not being ' in the libraries when they are supposed to be. He said the new fine rates should give students a better incentive for returning reserved materials. Waddel said study showed an estimated $15,000 worth of books lost or stolen each year at UNL libraries. He said this problem has been reduced drastically since the installation of the electronic security . device at Love Library. 0. X if "Ss$ V Why The Precision Haircut Might Be Right For You. If you hate the way your haircut disappears the day after, come to Command Performance where we specialize in the precision haircut. Precision haircutting is our technique for cutting the hair in harmony with the way it grows. So, as it grows, it doesn't lose its shape. And because the hair is cut to fall naturally, you don't have to keep fussing with it. Usually a shake of the head does it. The precision haircut with shampoo and blow dry costs just fourteen dollars for guys and gals. We also offer permanent waves, coloring, frosting and conditioning. No appointment is needed, just come in. And you'll see that precision is right for you. HOURS . Mon.-Fri. 9-9:00 Saturday 9-5:30 Sunday 12-5:00 SECOND FLOOR OF THE CENTRUM in a pizza. The customers were offered a new pizza or their money back, he said. Graham said he discussed the conditions with health department officials on Oct. 11. On Oct. 17, Graham was fired and he made a formal complaint with the health department on Tuesday. Graham said the reason for his firing was not clear. He said his employers listed insubordination as the reason. Graham said his employers might have known that he had discussed sanitation conditions with the health depart ment. However, John Chess, an investigator with the health department said the complaintant's name is kept confi dential while an investigation is underway. Pearce said Graham was fired because he failed to get another employee to work for him when he had to leave early. The company policy is that a worker must find a replacement, he said. Former employee complaints are common, Pearce said. Such incidents happened at other Domino stores that he worked for, he said. Graham said he complained because he said he feels the sanitation practices are a "danger." "I have nothing to gain or lose in filing a complaint," he said. Chess, who investigated the Domino's complaint, said he investigates over 100 cases a year that are complaints from fired employees. Chess said once a complaint is made, the investigator inspects the premises and discusses the complaint with the owner. Because Domino's did not commit any violation, the file was closed.
