Vendorville Food
A meeting with Housing Food Service officials recently
provided some insight into the food operations on
campus. The following items were discussed by Rod
Minaya and this reporter.
1. Discussion on complaints that were received on the
quality of food served in Vendorville by students was
brought to the attention of the housing officials, and they
informed us that many had already been taken care of.
2. Discussed at length were questions about
purchasing and preparation of the food sold in
Vendorville. Kitchen personnel schedualing problems
were mentioned by housing officials as the reason for
slow service at the noon hour and at night. Pricing
structure on items sold in Vendorville was explained and
the possibility for input on menue selections and special
items was considered.
3. It is possible to obtain a balanced diet from the
foods offered in Vendorville, but the responsibility lies
with the individual student.
4. The SGA has agreed to allocate funds to print
comment cards and set up a suggestion box in
Vendorville. Also the voted to establish a food
service committee as a standing SGA committee, chaired
by Senator Malpass.
5. Norman Gautreau, head of Housing and Food
Service, stated that, “If at any time any student or anyone
is not pleased with his purchase, he is requested to return
it to the counter for refund or replacement.”
6. Any complaints that cannot be resolved on the spot
may be referred to Rod Minaya, through the Chess Club
mailbox in W-110.
Life is like a carousel;
Pulsating steeds disappear rapidly.

Actor Will Stutts ably
presented “An Evening With
Mark Twain” in the afternoon
of April 21, 1975 in the
auditorium of Capitol Cam
pus. The single-artist event
was sponsored by the
University’s Cultural Com
mittee, and was open to the
public, admission free.
Will Stutts, 26 years old,
is the youngest of the
current actors portraying
Mark Twain, Frederic March
having “done” Twain in the
40’s and Hal Holbrook, in the
50’s.
Stutts’ youth is perhaps
responsible for his direct
approach to Mark Twain’s
works. He senses those
elements of the American
humorist’s art to which
youth and vitality always
respond-smoking, drinking,
and the sudden delight of
the bizarre.
Stutts claims that in more
than 300 performances no
two performances have ever
been exactly alike. The point
is not likely to be challenged
because the easy manner of
Mark Twain’s humor lends
itself more readily to an
irregular format than to a
strict one.
Stutts skillfully draws the
audience into the slow
moving world of Twain by
first calling the performance
a “service.” We, the
audience, then know that the
pace is not likely to gain
momentum; rather, we are
expected to relax into Stutts’
mood, and we do.
Braving the pitfalls of
audience boredom in any
single-artist performance,
Stutts moves from one
subject to another with a rich
sense of timing. He
punctuates his story-telling
with a skillfull sequence of
match-striking, and he
knows just when to inject
the bizarre into the mono
logue for a sense of relief.

Twain Lives
While referring to the
necessary cultivation of the
habits of smoking and
drinking so that in the event
that one gets sink, like a
sinking ship, he has
something to throw over
board, Stutts uses the pipe
lighting ploy masterfully.
The pipe never does get lit,
each ignited match having
burned out with the artist’s
involvement in the story.
Most notable of the bizarre
were:
-the story of the extraction
of a tooth with roots
attached to the nerves of the
patient’s big tor;
-the story of '"-fitting
glass eye whici. twirled
uncontrollably to the delight
of the adults and the terror of
the children;
PAGE
-the final tale, the siory of
a marble memorial placed
high on the hill in honor of
39 yards of the finest carpet
manufactured, containing
the mortal remains of one of
the townspeople who got
caught in the machinery
“An Evening With Mark
Twain” is a delight in its
easy folk syle. It is a
nostalgic reminder of a
nother time-a time whose
easy, informal life style not
only pervaded the lives of
middle America in the 19th
century, but also bequeath
ed to future generations the
subtle irreverence of unvar
nished truth now so com
mon to American thought.
