It's used at Pyewacket Restau rant and Sunshine Cafe. "It" is miso, a 1 ,000-year-old Japa nese food that is now being distributed nationwide from a Chapel Hill-based company. Miso (pronounced mee-so) is a soy bean paste packed with protein, vitamin B-I2, and other nutrients. Miso has 86 to 93.5 percent less sodium than table salt. Included in its nutritional benefits are bacteria and cultures that aid digestion. Aside from its nutritional value, miso is currently being recognized for its potential in cancer research. Recent studies by the Japan National Cancer Institute have correlated miso consumption with lower rates of differ ent forms of cancer.

David Hardt, a baker at Grump's Bakery on Franklin St., likened miso to yogurt's bacterial content and effects. Miso is a concentrated soy bean paste that goes through a fermentation process, said Susan Owen, a baker at Grump's. Other ingredients, such as rice or barley, can be added to the paste, she said. The added ingredient is inoculated with a microorganism called aspergillus, Troy said. The ingredient is incubated for 24 hours, and then the process is accelerated by controlling the temper ature and humidity. The result is a miso starter called Koji, which is also used to make Japanese Saki. The Koji mixed with partially-cooked soy beans makes miso. The total aging process takes between six months to three years, depending on the type of movie, "The Best Little Girl in the World." . "Before A11 My Children, I was always in a race for survival," Lau said. "Now I don't have to worry about paying the rent, affording classes and running to auditions while desperate for ajob.

"The flavor varies according to the soy intensity," said Owen. "You can make it saltier or have a more robust flavor." Miso can also give a meaty flavor to the diet, Shurtleff said. "Americans eat much too much meat," he said. "Using miso is a good way to cut down on meat without losing protein." The fermentation process produces amino acids by pre-digesting the pro teins. The amino acids are responsible for the flavor, Troy said. "I was on a vegetarian diet and -""" jc- v- n seasoning and found out how wonderful it is," he said. "Most people knew about miso but were Union be heard. "I hope students can give input as to the changes they would like to see," Boyle said. Student Body President Patricia Wallace agreed that students, especially off-campus students, needed a better lounge area. "Off-campus people don't have any place to go during the day," she said. Henry said he thought the construc tion was a way to respond to the changing needs of students. "WeVe been changing this building ever since we moved in," Henry added. The uses of the remodeled areas will not be rigid, Henry said. "I'm a believer in letting the actual function develop."

Miso's popularity is rising quickly, Troy said. A quarter million dollars in sales were made during the company's first fiscal year. Troy said he projects a million dollars in sales for the next fiscal year. Troy's company ships miso products to distributors across the United States ( and into Canada. In Chapel Hill, three health and natural food stores sell different miso products. Two restau rants, Pyewacket and the Sunshine Cafe, also use miso. Miso can be used as a seasoning, sauce, paste, spread or topping. It most commonly is used as a bouillon in soups or stews. from page 1 Henry saia. i ne old oilliard room win become the new cabaret area, he added. "The cabaret will have a stage area and three levels of seating," he said. "It will be used for combos, student entertainment, plays, lectures and so forth. "It will hold about 80 people and will be comfortable, not posh." he added. Another function the newly remo deled Union will serve, Henry; said, would be providing a new place for students to go after the raise in the the drinking age next October. The cabaret area will feature a non alcoholic wet bar, Henry said. Wallace agreed it was a good change.

Earlier on Tuesday, the full House approved a stopgap money bill that would keep government agencies operating after midnight Thursday. This credit extension was needed because very few spending bills have been approved by the president for fiscal 1986, which began Oct. 1. There was no certainty, however, that the Republican-led Senate would approve the bill. Senate Republicans have been blocking proposals for debt increases, holding out for a proposal that would include a plan to balance future federal budgets. If the Senate refuses to approve the stopgap bill, the govern ment could face the prospect of defaulting on its obligations, a move that would embarrass the nation on the eve of the Geneva summit. Council Council member David Pasquini voted against both these resolutions. The council passed a resolution inviting citizens to light candles "to openly display their desire for world peace" during the Reagan-Gorbachev summit Nov. 19 and 20. The resolution said it was expressing the town's deepest hope that the leaders 'ML- J Friday '7 $2hir4j y DISCOUNTS on ALL MERCHANDISE plus SUPER CLEARANCE University Square Chapel Hill 967-8935 : v . vv University Square Downtown is pleased to announce the addition of 11 TTti a vie Mo JLaitie to their staff of Licensed Opticians Joni Williams David Lane 942 - University Square 143 W.

Although contents of the message were not made public, negotiator Terry Waite, a special advisor to the Archbishop of Canterbury, said the messages he received contained "something of hope, something of a threat and a bit in between." Waite, who is being sent jointly by the archbishop and Pope John Paul II and has negotiated the release of Britons from Iran and Libya, said he had a chance for successful negotiation because he had a contact among the Moslems. from page 1 wouia heed peace-ioving peopie by reaching an understanding on an arms control, agreement which would cut significantly nuclear stockpiles."
