They Eat Cake, Candy, and Doughnuts, But
'Let Us Have Lettuce' Is Motto Of Spooner Men
Rabbit food? Well, maybe . .
The men at Spooner hall like lettuce, too.
"And they like it plain—no fancy trimmings for them," says "housemother" Sam Elliott.
He should know, because he helps them operate their own snack-bar in Spooner hall at 10 every night.
It isn't every day they get as much lettuce as they did recently, though.
On a shopping tour one afternoon Mr. Elliott saw some nice looking lettuce in one of the stores. He asked for five or six heads to take to his "boys," and before he was through talking to the merchant, he found he had not six, but 27 heads of lettuce—all there was in the store.
That was the most popular item on the counter that night according to the Spooner "housemother." The men ate 24 of the heads and put the other three on ice to stay fresh for the next night.
"No salads are served at the Spooner lunch counter," he said. "The fellows just cut the lettuce heads in two and eat them as they would eat apples. They say it's better that way."
'And I got all that for 25 cents, he added.
Other popular items at the Spooner snack bar are cake, doughnuts, pie, milk (both plain and chocolate), candy bars, and the two gallons of coffee that Mr. Elliott makes for them every night. He makes the coffee in Fraser hall and carries it to the lunch counter in a two-gallon milk can.
Financed by the men, the lunch bar has been in operation since shortly, after the beginning of the semester, Mr. Elliott said. To start it, each man gave 25 cents to buy the first night's food supply. Since then, the enterprise has paid for itself.
Day-old cakes and pies, and other bakery goods are bought for half-price, and sold by the piece cheaply enough, so all the men can afford to patronize the counter, but at the same time make enough money to replenish the supply for the next night.
The men help do the shopping,
and have a lot of fun doing it, Mr.
liott said. They sell their milk
or one cent a quart more than they

Dick Bibler is in a class all by himself. His "Little Man on Campus" represents the outstanding cartooning appearing in any university paper in the United States.
Anytime you've flunked a quiz, have those Monday-morning blues, or Friday just simply won't come soon enough, you can always get a chuckle from the Little Man's antics. He's something real, something typical, something to tickle a funny bone, in your
