The K.U. Calendar
Recently, the Men's Student Council voted to produce a University calendar. The plans were quickly drawn, and, except for binding, the calendar is now ready for sale to the student body and the public at a reasonable price.
The greater part of each page of this calendar is composed of a scenic photograph of one of the campus buildings. Below the picture are the dates of the month and a list of the events at the University during that month.
The printing of a K.U. calendar is one of the best moves of the Student Council for some time. A useful and scenic calendar like this will serve the University in several ways. Because of the well chosen photographs, its value as a memento will mean a great deal. But more important is its value in advertising the University.
In addition, the calendar's photographs and printed information can be developed considerably in future issues. Next year, perhaps pictures can be made of campus activities as well as campus scenes. Good pictures of the University band in one of its picturesque formations, football action, or a Homecoming queen and her attendants should have a strong appeal on high school minds. Along with the pictures, the back sides of the calendar pages might contain information about the schools, departments, faculty, alumni, and history of the University.
A Demand For Teachers
Students at the University who plan to qualify as teachers will find considerable comfort and encouragement in a recent report, showing there will be a definite scarcity of trained and qualified teachers in the public schools next year.
This shortage made itself felt last fall, when many of the smaller high schools, and some of the larger ones, experienced difficulty in keeping their present staff members, and found it hard to secure successors to those who resigned to enter other work. In at least two cases in Kansas, three superintendents resigned successively to take other jobs, before one was found who stayed. The same was true of many regular teachers.
In the rural areas alone, the committee of the National Education Association, which made the report, found that 40,000 to 50,000 new teachers would be required to fill vacancies in the country schools. A similar demand, though not as great, is expected in the secondary schools, and in larger centers. The committee believes it will be difficult to supply the demand for teachers, even in 1942.
The demand for trained teachers in the high schools will exceed 10,000,the committee writes, especially in the field of vocational education. Students who can qualify to teach subjects in industrial arts,home economics science,business,mathematics,physical education or music will find their chances good generally.The demand for positions in other teaching fields is not yet as great,but openings are expected to be numerous.
President Donald M. Erb, of the University of Oregon, says that courses in how to behave during air raids may soon become a part of every American college's curriculum. It's too bad K-State didn't have that course before playing Kansas.—Fred Mendell, in the Hutchinson News.

Rock Chalk Talk
DEAN OSTRUM
Jean Anderson, Pi Phi, now has Phi Gam Swede Olson's pin—and it wasn't because he went to sleep in the show either. Last night saw one of the most lavish pinnings to occur on the Hill in many a year. With orchids, fresh candy, gardenias, and good cigars galore, the entire Phi Gam chapter made their hilarious way to the Pi Phi house for the ceremony.
While waiting for Jean, Swede, complying with custom, kissed each and every Pi Phi. Chief osculator, according to Phi Gam brothers, was Patti Duncan.
"We weren't sure just who was getting pinned," active Tom Dawson tells after watching their abnormally long embrace.
Women just don't appeal to the Phi Psi pledge class this year. Officers of their recently organized Woman Hater club are Frank Sims and Tom Cadden.
When asked for proof of their stand, Sims proudly points out that only five of their 27 pledges had dates for their last buffet.
It does sound anti-social.
Fully equipped with shower robes, bath towels, and shower shoes, Phi Delt's are taking Phi Gam's up in a big way after their recent offer of their bath facilities.
Lack of necessary water heater apparatus has necessitated the trek between the houses. Yesterday's bathers were Bill Porter, Wichita; Melvin Lindeman, Salina; Bob Woodbury, Kansas City; John Jenkins, Kansas City; and Mike O'Donnell, St. Louis.
Phi Gam treasurer Bill McEhenny, fearing for his house's water bill, is seriously considering telling Phi Delt's about the Beta bath.
Bill Walker was in a helluva hurry at the Delt house last night. Breathlessly he rushed around yelling, "Call me a cab. Call me a cab. Quick, somebody, call me a cab."
Disinterestedly watching the Walker whirl, Malcolm Black remarked quietly, "You're a cab."
Cornwell Advises---
How to Solve the Xmas Dinner Menu Problem
BY FORREST CORNWELL
Home Economics Editor
With the Christmas holidays approaching, your male home economics reporter has decided to eliminate the usual feminine worries for a Christmas day dinner. After scanning thousands of proposed menus, the following menu was selected as un-
Eggnog,
doubtestly the most outstanding.
Corn in Well Rolls
Malott Inn's Baked Ham and Corn in Wells
Coffee.
Lawson's Chocolate Cake Coffee
Since you will undoubtedly have guests for dinner, the quantities in the following recipes are sufficient to provide a reasonable serving to each.
Eggnog has become a holiday tradition, and you probably know the recipe by heart, but just to make sure, here it is again. Get some Gagliardo whiskey at your nearest liquor store, then follow these directions faithfully:
Beat separately the yokes and whites of 6000 fresh eggs, add 500 cups of sugar to yolks while beating and add 250 cups of sugar to whites after they have been beaten by hand until very stiff. Mix egg whites with yolks. Stir in 500 quarts of rich cream and 500 quarts of milk slowly. Add 500 quarts of Gagliardo (or more, to taste) and 1000 ounces of Jensen rum. Stir thoroughly, serve very cold with grated nutmeg on each cup. (This recipe makes 2500 quarts of eggnog.)
The Ham What Ain't
The ham and corn is quite simple to prepare. Bake Malott's Premium ham, skin side up, on rack in open oven without water. Use a slow oven (3250 F.). Now skin, if you are able to find the ham, score, and glaze with honey. The honey may take away any possible
burnt taste that might otherwise result.
Serve with parboiled green pepper halves which have been filled with uncooked hard kernels of corn in black sauce seasoned with great quantities of cayenne pepper. Heat for at least 15 days in oven with the ham. Garnish with pimento.
Lawson's chocolate cake is a rare treat. It is practically irresistible once you have made it.
Place four cups chocolate (if you have no chocolate, a little brown shoe polish will do) and one half cup ice water in bottom of double boiler. Try to cook and stir over freezing water until chocolate is frozen and the mixture thickens. Add some sugar and cook and stir two hours. Cool until cold. Let Them Fat Cake
Sift 14 cups of flour at once, measure, add 5 cups of salt, 2 cups soda and sift 30 times. Cream one half teaspoon of butter, add one half cup of milk gradually and try to cream until light and fluffy. Add 25 eggs, one at a time, beating yourself thoroughly after each. Add one half cup of flour and beat until smooth. Add two cups of vanilla and blend.
Let Them Eat Cake
Bake in a dishpan 18" by 18" by 6" in a moderate oven (10 F.) for 10 minutes. Spread Easy Fudge Frosting between the cracks in the sides of the cake. (All measurements are level.)
If you follow my recipes,you are certain to be the most popular hostess of the city. Here's to a happy Christmas! Hi!
