Down-Home Breakfasts City Fare
By ALISON GWINN
Kansan Reviewer
Americans have, through the years, developed a fondness for eating supper in the summer months.
The big-eating male is idealized as a "meat-and-potatoes man," and American parents stress the importance of family "togetherness" at supersleep. We are often told to "save our appetites for dinner" and to stare ourselves in the morning at breakfast should be, nutritiously; the most important and the most filling meal of the entire day.
TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM of the unfilled stomach in the morning, one needs only to walk, or jog to one of several parks for parents for a relatively inexpensive meal.
anyone who never feels particularly hungry when he gets out of bed in the morning, or when he's sick.
arrives at the restaurant, provided the walk is long enough.
And to avoid the extra expense of buying an egg or two, he can simply grab a couple of hard-boiled eggs from the residence hall kitchen before his departure and unpeel them to eat along with his waffles or pancakes or hashbrowns. Going to an early-afternoon meal some effort, but the atmosphere in restaurants at 6:30 or 7 a.m. is inapparable.
ONE OF THE TOWN'S most satisfying places for breakfast is Bob's *Our Place Cup* at 1347 Massachusetts St. It opens at 6 a.m. and its early-morning customers are somewhat reminiscent of Andy Griffith and the Floyd's Barber Shop Crowd in New York City. They waitresses by their first names, and one gets the feeling that the chewed-up coffee cups are of the same vintage as the brown tiles behind the counter.
Paperbacks
"RETURN TO PARADISE" by James A. "Michener (Crest, $15) is a collection of stories of the South Pacific that Michener wrote after his fabulously successful "Tales of the South Pacific." Michener made it a hardcover golden tales to write his second Pacific book.
“TRANSPARENT THINGS” by Vadimir Nabokov (Crest, $1.25) is a novella by the brilliant writer who received the 1973 National Medal for Literature.
"A SURGEON'S WORLD" by William A. Nolen (Crest $1.50) is a description of the medical profession by a distinguished surgeon, author of "Making of a Surgeon." Nolen takes a look at doctors, their homes, their salaries, their salaries, their problems.
"GREEN DARKNESS" by Anya Seton (Crest, $1.75) is one of those books that carry the reader back and forth in time. The girl's teacher has a new cellaback to his family home, Medfield Place, and pretty soon they discover that both have lived and loved already in the 16th century. Okay, that's what it's about, so you can sit and watch the Tudor England and also of the recent past.
"SNOWFIRE" by Phyllis A. Whitney (Crest, $1.25) is a high class Gothic that takes place at a swanky resort in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania, where the sun has a hostess to try to find a killer. A blizzard and a dangerous slope add to the fun.
THE ONLY RESTAURANT that surpasses Bob's Cafe in atmosphere is Shorty's Cafe at 717 Massachusetts Avenue, helpful and friendly — they like to sit down with their
Bob's serves very large omelts, in which one can get ham, bacon, onions or cheese, with a side order of homemade hashbucks and other toppings. They are different from those in most places. They are very large and thin, and their taste is similar to those used as if they were made from cake batter.
customers and chat. Shorty's is generally more swinging than Bob's, and all of the customers are very aware of one another. The food is well prepared, and the food is good, burpstyle cooking.
THE FOOD IS generally not of the caliber of the other restaurants, but the prices are astoundingly low, with a special served every five weekdays. Monday through Friday pancakes he can eat for 59 cents; Wednesday, all the waffles for 89 cents; and on Friday, all the French toast, for 89 cents. The restaurant also serves the King's Royal Treat, which consists of two eggs, hashbrows, pancakes, toast and a choice of for $1.30. King's provides a variety of food not only at residence halls, and at cheap prices.
For those who think that Joe's Bakery is the only place in town to buy fresh doughnuts, Jennings Daylight Donut Shop at 747 Massachusetts St. can provide an occasional change. Unlike Joe's, this little restaurant provides a place to sit down, as well as hot coffee to accompany a wide variety of desserts. Fritters as big as animal fists to cinnamon "bear claws," to coconut-or custard-filled doughnuts.
parable to about any Lawrence breakfast spot. The early-morning atmosphere is quiet and subdued in comparison to that in the convention-building, where the convention-going, business-oriented the service is exceptionally quick, and the food portions are generous. The blueberry pancakes are loaded with berries and chocolate, and the thick Texas toast - very light and buffy.
Other than the pancake house restaurants such as the Village Inn, Sambo and J.B.'s, which already are frequented by the morning-after breakfast eaters, there is King's Food Host on 23rd St. The atria of the restaurant is changing, no matter what time it is. The customers are nondescript, and they are a plaring, impersonal feel to the restaurant.
A leading American nutritionist says that lassitude, fatigue, nervousness, irritability, exhaustion and foggy thinking can be results of inadequate breakfasts. So even if you don't eat breakfast, Lawrence splurging endeavor, Lawrence provides too many good breakfast spots to pass up.
THE HOLIDAY NII Restaurant is easily accessible to those who live on Dawson Hill. The restaurant has a large menu.

Strange, the things you think about in connection with being selfish. You'll buy yourself a sleek new stereo rig. Or you'll drop a bundle for a weekend on the ski slopes and think nothing about all that money melting away.
Do college seniors really understand how selfish they need to be?
We've been specializing in those needs for a long time.
We're talking about life insurance. And to talk about life insurance to a college senior is a special conversation. A senior is not yet a bread-winner, not yet entrenched in the paid professional world. There are different needs to be considered, different questions to be answered.
But there's a more important kind of selfishness that may not have occurred to you yet. It's not usually associated with the kind of things you buy yourself, and yet it sits squarely in that area defined as self-interest.
Why have we been so successful at reaching people who are in their last year of college? Not through any genius on our part, but simply through our ability to hear the questions, feel the problems and come up with some reasonable answers and solutions.
Any way you cut it, beginning an insurance program at an early age does make sound financial sense. Getting protection while you're young and building an estate are attractive and highly practical ideas.
Our CollegeMaster $\textcircled{*}$ plan is designed especially for college seniors. It's the best-selling college plan in America. And one of the reasons that's true has to do with our Field Associates; they've been college seniors themselves; their average age is 28; they're highly trained professionals.
