A 50-Pound Tray, Three Pitchers Of Water The Skillful Waiter Can Handle Them All
Over the clatter of silver against china, the cheerful tinkling of ice in glasses, the subdued murmur of voices in the crowded dining-room, cryrings out.
"Swing."
Glance up and you see a white-coated waiter speeding by, carrying a heavily laden tray. "Swing" is the waiter's warning cry to anyone in his path to move aside lest they collide, and calamity ensue.
Approximately 160 student waiters are working in the organized houses and other boarding houses connected with the University. Some of them are connected with the houses and are working as part payment of board, room, or organization fees; or maybe as part of their duties as pledges of a Greek letter organization.
Some are independent students eking out a too slender income by working for meals and a small wage.
The majority, however, are veterans who have found that $65 a month is insufficient to support them in the style to which they have become accustomed, or to which they would like to become accustomed.
A few are veterans who because of a knot in the governmental red tape have received no subsistence checks and are consequently forced to work in order to eat.
The usual and top pay of the student waiter is meals and six dollars for serving nineteen meals a week, and the work hours are about 23 a week. The meals provide the greatest incentive for working since they comprise the greater part of a student's expenses. There is no tipping of organized-house waiters save by an occasional old grad' or a visitor up for a football game or party.
Table-waiting requires skill, speed, and strength, but it's not difficult to learn. Skill comes with time and practice. A good waiter can carry a tray weighing up to 50 pounds balanced in one hand, three pitchers of ice water in the other, and set them down without mishap. He can also carry out and place properly six to nine plates of food without ruining the appearance of the plates or spilling the food.
Negro students were used almost exclusively for table-waiting before the war. Now the labor shortage
during the war, the high cost of food, and the great influx of veterans of all races needing work, have placed them far in the minority.
No Crimes So Clerk Returns To Knitting
Sarita. Texas. (UP)—Clerk Nettie P. Woods of the 28th district court returned to her knitting today, as the court kept intact its four-year record of not hearing a case.
The court met yesterday and ended shortly after Judge Paul A. Martineau named a new list of grand jurors to replace those named last year—but not summoned.
"We haven't had a court case here in Kenedy county for four years," she explained. "We didn't have any divorces last year, and don't expect any this year. This county never has had a juvenile delinquency case. In fact, nothing much has happened in the 33 years I've been here."
The district clerk put aside her knitting long enough for the court session.
"I guess snakes give us more trouble than anything. You have to be careful about them wherever you go," she added.

Old Time Salesmen Really Knew Ropes
609 Mass.
Seattle. (UP) — December's disastrous hotel fires in Atlanta and Saskatoon, Canada, prompted Clarence W. Johnson, Seattle, to reminisce about the "good old days" when travelers took individual precautions about hotels going up in smoke.
Phone 277
Johnson, a traveling salesman for many years, said seasoned tourists in the past always carried their own ropes in case of emergency.
"The old-time salesman had to know all the angles," Johnson said. "A bad fire was always a real danger in the days when most country hotels were made of wood."
Part of Johnson's luggage when he was on the road was a rope long enough to lower him from a fourth-floor window. It was knotted at regular intervals to provide handholds.
