Caters to
By Mrs. Rebecca Metzler
Have you ever worried about having the relatives to dinner? Then you can sympathize
with a man who is responsible for feeding approximately 3000 people each day.
Louis A. Berrena is manager of Food Service at the Hetzel Union Building, He, as well
ts hit: seven supervisors, are especially trained in hotel management and are specialists
in their respective fields. In addition the staff consists of 58 full-time employees augmented
by part time workers to over,

Psych Profs Study
Attitude Changes
, Lester Guest, professor of
I;psychology, and Robert Sto
ver, assistant professor of psy
chology, are conducting research
:in the development and m.odifica
ltion of attitude, under at $lOOO
grant from E. I. duPont. de Ne
mours and Co.
At present their studies are di
rected mainly toward children,
but they plan to trace the devel
lopment and changes in attitudes
lof adults as well as children.
Instruments designed to mea
sure attitude are now being de
veloped, and materials have been
collected from students in grades
2, 6 and 12 as well as from Uni
versity students and other adults.
Where else can you buy such luscious steaks cooked r
to your individual taste? - Or real Italian-tasting
spaghetti? Or such good, steaming pizza?

a profit. This becomes quite. a
problem for him when there is
' a major breakdown because the
, repair is considered operating
expense. For example, there
was a $lOOO repair bill on a
cooling and ice-making machine
; recently which had not been
anticipated in the budget.
Food Service contracts for
most foods on a direct basis so
that products are really fr e s h
'since they come direct from the
'source, as canned pineapples from
,Hawaii. The milk and some dairy
!products come from the Univer
sity creamery. All pastry is made
their own bake shop including
!rolls, buns, cakes and pies,
As Berrena talked it became
evident that he tries to preserve
the human touch in this vast
feeding - operation. After the
menus are brought to him, he
examines them to check whether
the student special contains a
nutritious balance (but the stu
dent's won't always choose it) or
whether there has been too much ,
repetition from the previous
week
One ' interesting observation
he made in this respect was his
statement that he must watch
the color combination of his
vegetables and meat. One rea
son is to make it attractive, but
the most important reason is to
help the checkers who don't
have time to examine each
item. They must be able to tell
at a glance what it is.
The human touch is continued
as the patrons pass through the
checker to the cashier. The check
ers are so efficient that they keep
two cashiers busy collecting
mone y. In • fact, Berrena is
able to tell which girl is oper
ating the check machine merely
by listening to the tempo.
This is a fascinating operation
to watch because the checkers
have the items listed and the
check ready by the time the pa
tron gets to the end of the line
A representative of the com
pany which supplies and services
this equipment told the manager
;hat these machines get the hard
est and most constant use of any
similar equipment in the entire
country.
As the patrons pass into the
dining area, one other touch of
ser vice is evident. Men are
provided who, in addition to then•
regular duties, help individuals
with small children or ones who
may be handicapped -in any way.
