It's Time For That Break When Food Service Arrives
Furnishing K.U. students with late lunches keeps five cars loaded with sandwiches and soft drinks busy five nights a week. It also keeps Elmo W. Geppelt, engineering senior and 24-year-old veteran, busy running his student operated food service.
Elmo started out in September with an idea that hard-studying students would like having food delivered to their door. With plenty of help from his wife Betty, a former K.U. student, he has run his idea into a business employing 20 part-time workers.
Betty's end of the business consists of operating a kitchen at Sunflower where she and Elmo live. With six helpers she prepares most of the food that hungry students consume during all-night sessions with the books. Somehow she also finds time to take care of year-and-a-half-old baby Neil.
A second kitchen at 1639 Indiana employs four more part-time workers preparing hot sandwiches. They are delivered in insulated boxes with heating units to keep them fresh.
Five student-owned cars with a crew of two men each make regular deliveries to 50 student houses. Deliveries are made once each night except Friday and Saturday.
"The men stick to heavier foods like hamburgers and milk," Elmo said.
Gepelt says that student tastes in midnight snacks don't vary much except that women seem to take most of the popcorn and potato chips.
"Our motto is satisfaction guaranteed." Elmo added. "In some cases this has included bedside deliveries to students who prefer to do their studying in bed."
'Show-Me' Lesson On Cancer Given
His speech ended, Dr. Henny sat down and lit a cigaret.
"I am a moderate smoker.
Between puffs he pacified members of the University of Oklahoma cancer symposium by explaining:
"I consider anybody who smokes a day a moderate smoker," he said.
But he warned that "of the various irritating factors which contribute to oral cancer, heavy smoking is the worst."
After Dr. Henny's address, many members of the audience lit cigarettes. During the next lecture, which included colored slides showing cancer of the mouth in various stages, most of the cigarettes disappeared.
Monkeys Into Corsets For Ulcer Tests
Jacksonville, Ill. — (UP) — Dr. Andrew C. Ivy said recently he planned to bind 40 monkeys in tight corsets for two years to determine if the proposed wasp waist fashions for women would cause stomach ulcers.
Dr. Ivy, internationally famous for his research on ulcers, said two decades ago, when tight corsets were the fashion, four times as many women had ulcers as men. After women discarded corsets and men began wearing belts instead of suspenders, the trend was reversed, he said.

'Discard Editorial, Mencken Suggests
Washington — UP) — Top editorial writers of the nation pondered the suggestion by Henry L. Mencken that the newspaper editorial page be discarded unless it has something to say.
The "Sage of Baltimore" brought his unorthodox views before the national conference of editorial writers in the first session of a three-day meeting designed to improve the "conscience and quality" of the opinion page.
As an established author, critic, newspaperman and dissenter, Menken's advice was not unexpected. But it set back on their collective heels some 100 editorial writers and editors who were meeting in the capital in a series of conferences designed to improve the editorial page.
"As an old editorial writer who has since reformed," the short, soft-spoken Mencken said, "I ask why have editors at all. They are solemn discussions which fill three or four columns of type, and are opinion by unknowns, and most cases, by unknowing men."
He suggested that the writers "devote the rest of your three-day sessions to finding out why you give three or four columns a day to editorials, and if you can't decide why, throw them out."
His remarks highlighted the first conference day during which the opinion-framers heard off-the-record talks on America's foreign policy, and then in open session agreed that the modern editorial page has lost its punch.
Dog Sews Herself Up
Jersey Shore, Pa.—(UF)—Cindy suffered when she swallowed a needle and some thread during a sewing basket expedition but she's back to normal now. An operation was performed on the four-months-old black cocker spaniel owned by Mrs. Robert Shadle to treat an abcess caused when the needle sewed a "stitch" into one of the dog's tonsils.
