SRO Audience Witnesses
Poet's Authentic Autopsy
By ROCHELLE MICHAELS
Archibald MatLeish presented an "authentic autopsy" of
his generation to a standing-room only audience of students
in Schwab last night. The program was sponsored by the
University Lecture Series.
MacLeish saw six phases in his "autopsy," beginning with
the "disillusioned young soldier;
of the first world war" and ending
with the decade of the sixties!

Foods Ring of Tradition
By CAROL KUNKLEMAN
Being home at Christmas
means many things to stu
dents looking forward to va
cation, and few will deny that
one of these is the traditional
festive foods they will be served
for the holiday.
According to Dr. Miriam A.
Lowenberg, head of the depart
ment of foods and nutrition in the
College of Home Economics, most
Pennsylvanians still carry on the
traditional eating customs of their
ancestors.
"'The tradition may be varied,"
she said, "because groups have
standardized or mixed their
customs with another cultural
group, so that now there is a

blending instead of a pure cus•
torn." but most customs are still
evident.
Because Pennsylvania is a king
of "melting pot" for various cul
tural groups, she said, it is hard
to point out a distinct food that
is typical for the state. However,
she added, certain cultural groups
are more predominant than oth
ers and so are more associated
with Christmas dishes.
"I would say that the two main
groups are the Central Europeans,
who live in the coal-mining and
steel areas of the state, and the
Pennsylvania Dutch, who inhabit
Lancaster and the eastern part of
the state," she observed.
Of the Central Europeans, she
said, the Lithuanians are one of
the most-represented peoples. To
this. group, the pig and its prod
ucts figure largely on Christmas
menus.
"A typical Christmas menu
consists of soup—clear beet
bouillon or mushroom soup:
roast suckling pig with sauer
kraut, pan-roast potatoes and
baked apples; a spring salad
with sour cream, and apple
