Students Slide, Skate
Gasoline Saved
Even the weather helped the war effort, as cars became useless the past few days on the University's usually traffic-laden streets. Quantities of gasoline and qualities of rubber were spared wear and tear as ice-covered streets mocked the few attempts made by stubborn drivers who 'knew it could be done.'
One car was seen at noon yesterday sliding down 14th street
One car was seen at noon ye finally lodging against the curb where it remained. The Navy station wagon slid into a telephone pole Sunday at the bottom of 12th street putting a dent in the left rear fender.
But the fun was not in watching cars—it was in watching people. Only magicians were walking. Others were sliding, falling, dancing—? One report tells of a woman faculty member, briefcase and all. climbing up 13th street on her hands and knees. A male faculty member offered to help but Miss Instructor said: "No, thank you—I'm not getting up again."
Students attempting to get home on the road leading from the Union fountain made it almost to the top—but not quite—for when they regained their feet they were at the door of the Pi Phi house. A crowd gathered yesterday noon on the Union porch shouting encouragement and laughing as one after another took a tumble.
Two Skating Rinks
One co-eed going to a 3:30 class yesterday afternoon stepped gingerly down the road to the Union building. At the bottom she fell. She remarked: "I would fall when I get to the bottom."
Two popular skating places developed at 13th and Tennessee and at West Frank Strong hall where sailors carefully avoided the steps.
Popular places also developed on steps of University buildings. Sailors were seen escorting coeds up and down steps and many students took but one or two steps where there should have been nine or ten. Instructors Late Too
One male student was treated at Watkins Memorial hospital for a sprained hand. Dr. Cauteson admonished: "Watch your step," and the student promised. He took one step out the door, slipped, and was treated for a sprained shoulder. One patient who had a cold, was taken
to the hospital in an ambulance because the taxi's could not make the hill.
All in all most people managed to get around and instructors were tole- rent of late students—and students were tolerant of late instructors.

book.
Love Story Meager
A rather futtle attempt at inserting a love interest is injected intravenously into the story. Simon Astley, an American who seems to be either a painter or a doctor or something, blunders into the picture every now and then for no good reason. works himself into a long discussion with Francoise, tells her that he hasn't decided whether or not he loves her, and blunders out again.
A knowledge of the French political situation is valuable in understanding the events and ideas brought out in the story. Almost since the end of the last war, France has either been leaderless, or what is worse, cursed with bad leaders. Francoise expresses the typical state of mind when she says "Haven't we spent the last twenty years apologizing for our victories and boasting of our decadences?"
"Reprisal" makes interesting reading for anyone politically-minded, but might confuse anyone who isn't.

Cooks Stuff Sailors
Christmas Day
Phone 432
Naval trainees who are studying to be ships' cooks will stuff, roast, and carve 1100 pounds of turkey for Christmas dinner. They will prepare all the fixings too—potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, candied sweet potatoes, cherry nut salad, and plum pudding with hard sauce. The men will carve and serve them from
"Reprisal", Little, Brown, and Company, Boston, 1942, by Grace Zaring Stone (Ethel Vance.)
Most of the dialogue reads like a prepared speech, but it is evident that author Vance is more concerned with proving a point or at least resolving the issues that led to the downfall of France, than in making character sketches although she does a commendable job of both.
A Mathematics Club meeting will be held at 4:30 Tuesday afternoon in room 217 of Frank Strong hall. All members and friends are invited, said H. G. Kolsky, president of the organization. Puzzles, stories and songs will be the entertainment.

the counter so the regular waiters can have a vacation. Instead of plates the men eat from partitioned steel trays.
The dining room, which is in the Union ballroom, has been decorated by the Coed Volunteer Corps. A huge silver Christmas tree decorated with blue lights is set against a black background on the north wall. Wreaths and festoons are hung around the room.
The student cooks receive six weeks training and are accepted as approved navy cooks, ready for call. They receive third class cooks' or bakers' rating. The school, under the supervision of Miss Hermina Zipple, Union director, began with thirteen boys, and twelve were added last week. They are gaining experience in large quantity food preparation and in bakery. For example they prepare 400-450 pounds of roast for a meal, 55 gallons of hot-cake batter for a breakfast of 1600-1700 hot biscuits. One-hundred and thirty pies are prepared for a meal. Each man is required to do certain boning of wholesale cuts of meat.
A number of field trips are scheduled. Last week the bakers' unit visited a local bakery and were given a demonstration of the baking of sweet rolls and cinnamon rolls. The bakers have had experience in preparation of breakfast rolls recently. They prepare 500 cinnamon or pecan rolls for the 2:30 shift. The 10:30 group are served a full dinner.
