Ex-Army Dietician
Joins Coed Ranks
Helping to plan menus for the U.S. Army combat troops in the
Pacific area used to be the task of Evelyn Girard-, a captain in the
Women’s Medical Specialist Corps, who was an Army dietitian dur
ing World War 11. But right now her task is getting a master’s
degree in institution administration.
“I’m the first Army dietitian on active duty to do graduate work
at Penn State,” said Captain Gir
ard, who’s no newcomer to the
campus. She received her bache
lor’s degree from the College in
1936.
“It’s a definite advantage to be
back on a campus, not to mention
the fact that it’s fun to wear
civilian clothes again,” the pert
Captain said.
Two Years in Hawaii
A native of Masontown,-Captain
Girard has had a variety of as
signments in military hospitals
and Army headquarters. “One of
the things we can always look
forward to in the Army is a new
assignment in a different locale,”
she said. “They come along every
two or three years. And they help
to make life interesting.”
Captain Girard spent two' war
years in Hawaii, first as a chief
dietitian of a station hospital and
later as nutrition consultant for
the Middle Pacific area.
“Working in headquarters as a
member , -of the staff concerned
with planning an acceptable menu
for combat troops was a challenge
to the ingenuity of all of us,” re
called the Captain turned coed.
“It was one of the most stimulat
ing experiences I ever had in
quantity feeding.”
Menu Planning. Tough
Limitations imposed by war
time conditions made it necessary
to plan the menu around the
available shipping space assigned
to food and the use of non-perish
able food.
“Our chief problem was plan
ning a menu that would provide
the soldier with the nutritional
elements he needed for combat
efficiency. By the same token, we
wanted it. to be one which he
would consume and enjoy,” she
said.
Captain Girard believes efforts
by dietitians to improve food
palatability have resulted in very
satisfactory improvements in food
service on the front lines in Ko
rea.
Captain Girard expects to be
assigned to a hospital after com
pleting her work at the College.
“Our work , may not be the most
glamorous,” she said. “But it is
important, and there’s always the
satisfaction of knowing that we
are.doing a service for our won
derful country.”
Extension Supervisor
Paul- S. Beaver, assistant pro
fessor of management in exten
sion, has been named supervisor
of management training. He has
been serving as acting supervisor
of management training since De
cember 1951 and succeeds J. E.
Kennedy, who resigned from the
CoUege to become manager of
employee relations for the Penn
sylvania Railroad.
