The Old Reliable
Ex-G.l.'s who ventured over to
the Hofne Edonornics Cafeteria
yesterday thought they wer e back
in the Army again. Listed on the
menu for lunch was "Barbecued
Ham." Hopeful of getting a meat
meal after a week on. fish and
vegetab:es, they blindly ordered
this dish. When they dug into this
"ham," they found the G. I. ne
mesis---Spam. .
the World Series blaring forth.
One of these was Gerald Gear
heart, a comparative late-comer,
not having arrived until' 9:45. He
was relieved by his brother at
noon.
Patricia Mansen and June Ir
vin found .themselves near the
end of the line, not arriving until
2:30. A vicious game of Pounce, a
loriHed double solitaire, kept
Ruth Webster and Alberta Leon
ard amused during the long wait.
There was considerable be
moaning of missed lunches and
considerably less of cut classes
which just goes to show to what
sacrifices our students will go for
a chance at some real cultural en
tertainment.
