Feeling hungry for Hungary

Capital Times Staff
Students, faculty and staff were treated
to "Lunch With an International Flavor"
on Sept. 29 in the Gallery Lounge.
Hungary was the country of choice,
hosted by Dr. Jack Susskind, associate
professor of social science education.
Susskind was in Hungary as a
Fullbright teacher from 1991 to 1992 at
Torok Ignoc, a secondary school in the
town of Godollo.
Prior to his lecture, participants at the
lunch were treated to strudel, a Hungarian
delight- which is served in tea houses
throughout the country.
The audience was then treated to a
pictorial tour of Susskind's adventures in
Godollo.
Susskind had positive things to say
about his teaching experiences, saying that
"the students there were very bright and
well behaved."
For Hungarian teachers, things aren't as
good as they are for their American
counterparts.

Heather Stuckey lives a dual life
Over the past four years, the junior
humanities major has managed to squeeze
classes in between a 40-hour work week.
"I want to be a student full time, but I
can't afford it," Stuckey said, adding that
her employer finances 75 percent of her
education.
Assuming the roles of both a student
and full-time career woman, she trans
forms from one to the other during the
half-hour it takes her to drive to school
from work at Hershey Entertainment and
Resort Company.
Janet Widoff, coordinator of student
activities, along with Debbie Jackson,
student affairs assistant, developed a new
entertainment series designed to help
evening students transition from their
workday into the role of a student.
The Twilight Series aims to provide
evening students with relaxing background

worked second and third jobs to make ends
meet."
Things will probably get better with
major American corporations like General
Electric and Heinz doing business there.
Susskind's reason for hosting the lunch
was one of diplomacy.
"I hope to promote international
education throughout the university,"
Susskind said. "People should get to know
other people's cultures at home and
abroad."
Joan Swetz, from the International
Students Office, which sponsored the
lunch, was pleased with the results.
"The purpose of these lunches is to
bring a little of the rest of the world to
PSH with the added incentive of offering
free food representative of the land," Swetz
said.
The forum of the lunches is informal,
so if someone can only spend 15-20
minutes, they can still come and enjoy the
program.
The next "Lunch With an International
Flavor" will feature India Oct. 28.

contemporary folk artists, Widoff said.
The program kicked off with jazz
guitarist Bill Fisher on Sept. 22 and
continues throughout the semester,
Jackson said.
"Flee and Me" will perform Oct. 22
and features Felicia Brown-Haywood and
Karen Bowser who are both from the
department of student affairs.
Jazz duo Mumbo Jumbo will bring the
series to a close Nov. 18. Free
refreshments will be provided at all
performances which take place in the
Lion's Den between 5 and 6 p.m.
"The evening student's time is limited,
so the idea is to bring the entertainment
programming directly to them," Widoff
said.
The program, which costs about $5OO,
should not be affected by the recent budget
cuts, said Donald Holtzman, director of
student affairs.
"Those programs that best meet the
students' needs will survive," Holtzman
said.

Tempt yourseff with brownies

Capital Times Staff
Chocolate is said to have the magical
property of making people feel as if they
are falling in love. It is also a great mood
booster after any traumatic experience,
such as a rough exam or a hard day of
doing nothing.
For some reason, chocolate can restore
a person's life to proper perspective. And
what better treat to feature chocolate than
sinful brownies.
The ingredients are:
3/4 cup melted butter or magarine
1 1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1-3 eggs (Eggs make the brownies rise.
If the eggs are small, use three. If the eggs
are large, use one egg plus one egg white.)
3/4 cup flour
la cup cocoa (baking chocolate)
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
8" pan, greased

Mix the melted butter, sugar and
vanilla. Next, add the eggs and mix until
smooth. Dump in the dry ingredients,
flour first. Mix slowly. Continue stirring
until the batter is smooth.
Now, the big decision is whether to
cook the brownies, or add York
Peppermint Patties.
To add York Peppermint Patties:
1. pour 1n the batter into the pan
2. place York Peppermint Patties on
the batter
3. spread batter over the York
Peppermint Patties
To bake, preheat the oven to 350
degrees. A glass pan will take 35-40
minutes. Metal pans take 20-25 minutes.
The brownies are done when they pull
away from the sides of the pan. Let them
cool 5-10 minutes.
