Domino's given clean bill of health
r. m . &
By Michelle Carr
A Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department inves
tigation prompted by a former employee's complaint
against a Lincoln pizza company was made Friday,
according to a health department official and a supervisor
of the company.
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.

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.

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.
