ER 13. 1957 FRIDAY. DEC EM! Behind Food Service Wari Best ng Dining Hall Portrays Example of Food Service By RALPH MANNA Last of Two Articles what goes on in that mysterious kitchen’ is a question often asked by y file by the counters in the residence dining halls. Waring Hall, which serves as a dining area for West Halls dormitories, is probably . the best example of Food Service in operation, according to officials. About 1800 students eat . there. Thomas Walsh is supervisor of the dining hall. orders his food supplies ,from the Food S ores Building as 'do the other di: ling hall super visors. Food is prepared in the ‘dining-hall, but nenus, prepared for weeks in ad:ance, are made iip in the Foods Stores Building. Walsh serves or the committee of.dining hall supervisors which prepares the menus. About 700 to 800 pounds of whipped potatoes, 1600 pounds of French fried pot: toes, 550 pounds of roast beef anji 300 pounds of turkey are consumed at each meal at Waring Hall when these are served. About five crates of eggs are used for breakfast. Approximately 550 gallons of milk is consumed daily at Waring Hall. But women do not drink as much milk as men, according to William N. Cufley, supervisor ’ of the men’s dining halls. Nine bushels of potatoes can be prepared at once in the huge Waring Hall kitchen steamers. About 80 quarts of whipped pota toes can be prepared in the whip ping machines and about 65 gal lons of stew can be cooked at once in the kettles. • Stainless steel trays are used in the men’s dining area and aluminum trays are used in the women's area. The stainless steel trays weigh three pounds each and the aluminum trays weigh one and one-half pounds each. However, the stainless steel trays are easier to clean and are more durable. Fiberglass trays are used in the Hetzel Union Building din ing rooms. The number of Waring Hall employes totals 144. Regular em ployes total 77; 63 students work for meals and 5 work for salary. The employes’ cafeteria can hold 98 people. Handicapped students also eat in this cafeteria, saving them a trip up the steps leading to the students’ dining halls. Curley said mechanical diffi culties usually slow up lines in the dining halls. These difficulties include machine breakdown as well as a “break” in grease. A break in grease means dilution of grease with water from food such as potatoes. _ The cost of food, dishes, uten sils, machinery, furniture, office -expenses and Food Service em ployes’ salaries all come out of Student board fees. To illustrate the high cost of operation in Food Service. Curley pointed out the cost of chinaware. A dinner plate costs 94 cents; a cup, 71 “I wonde students as th< ATTENTION: Engineering and Architecture SOPHOMORES Two full spring tuition scholarships of 5175 c.o avail able to sophomores.

The furniture is nowj ary f about seven years old and in that time only five chairs have been damaged. in a Wotting Hall stockroom are 250,000 small white boxes. These were used to pack the lunches given to sick students during the recent wave of res piratory illnesses. The remaining boxes will be used to pack lun ches for persons attending con- held at the_University. The Hetzel Union Building, as far as Food Service is concerned, is a separate entity, set apart frofh the student dining halls. It is a separate account in Food Service book 3. The HUB dining rooms are self-supporting and this is why more elaborate meals can be prepared there. Robert C. Proffitt this year was appointed as director of Food Service, succeeding Mildred A. Baker. ' 2)ear Sanla t I’m a co-ed at Penn State University—and a clothes-conscious one at that, as my Christmas list discloses. Yesterday, for ideas about what to get everyone and what to include on my suggestion list to others, I browsed through the Charles Shop, where I do most of my clothes shopping, and oh, Santa! That beautiful lacey Vanity Fair slip would be just right for Bob’s wife, Ginny. It’s only $4.95. And the Shetland wool crew neck at $8.95 in biege, red, or navy would be *o nice for my brother Tom’s girl friend. For Aunt Vivian, the gold-leaf matched earring-and-necklaca set by Jobere, so practical at $4.95;-and Sis would look so radiant on New Year’s Eve in that mint green, pleated nylon-net cocktail dress. It’s just $29.95. How about those red flannel p.j.’s by Tommies at $5.95 for my roommate, Marge? For Mom, Santa, that special snowy-white Dacron blouse with the taylor pleated back. _ . And Santa, the matched skirt and sweater in Bernhard Altmann Cashmere would be a dream for ME to wear on weekend dates. (The matching bermudae would be swell, too!) They're all from Charles, Mr. Claus, and I haven’t found anything yet to match Charles’ lovely selection of quality clothes to fit a co-ed’s spending budget. Charles will even gold-wrap and mail the gifts for you, Santa, and you can charge them! Every lovely one of them! Please bring them for us. Nothing else will do! . You can get these lovely gifts'quicker—surer— by personally stopping today at . . . Silva Quoted in Life Magazine On Eisenhower's Disability Dr. Ruth C.
