Campus Now Has Steakhouse
by Linda Swander
Students and faculty can find the elegance and fine foods of a well-known steakhouse right on the campus.
When the new wing was added to the Kansas Union provisions were made for a charcoal steak room. This is the present Prairie Room.
Room Needed.
According to Dwayne Hall, food service director for the Kansas Union, there has been a need for a room with special waiter service and fine foods since the Kansas Union was first opened.
While the name of the room is descriptive of Kansas history, a modern theme has been carried out in the decor.
The Prairie Room is located at the northeast end of the new addition to the Hawk's Nest and seats approximately 80 people.
Partition Planned
Plans are now underway to construct a partition in order to separate the room from the Hawk's Nest. The main decor of the room is brown and green. The banquette and chairs are upholstered in green leather and the tables are formica.
The table is set with fine hand-painted china, stemmed goblets and salt and pepper mills. The relishes are served in sterling silver trays and the salad bowls are basket-weaved mahogany.
The chef, wearing a white chef's hat and suit with a black necktie, prepares the food in full-view of the customers.
Infra-red Heat Used
Infra-red heating lights have been installed above the cooking area to keep the food warm. Plates are pre-heated by electricity.
The waiters, dressed in black pants, white shirts and gold and black vests, serve the food to the customer on a charcoal brazier.
Credit Available
"We have a limited menu because we think that when the students or faculty come here for a meal they want the very bes" Mr. Hall said. The menu consists of a variety of appetizers, beverages, seafoods, steaks, shish kebab, chef's salad and a desert cart.
A limited number of credit cards are available to the students and faculty upon application. Mr. Hall says that this will give the students
and faculty an opportunity to dine at the "Prairie Room" when they wish.
"Credit cards are used extensively by restaurants throughout the country and the use of them on the campus will be educational as well as useful to the student," he added.
The Prairie Room is open every day but Tuesday. On Sunday it is open from 12 to 9 p.m. and the rest of the week from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 5 to 9 p.m. Reservations can be made for small parties.
New York Night Life Dull During Debate
NEW YORK — (UPI) — The first face-to-face television debate between Vice President Richard Nixon and Sen. John F. Kennedy had a depressing effect on New
York's night life.
York's night life. Legitimate theaters reported business off as much as 20 per cent while movie theaters played to near empty houses.

What's ahead for you... after you join Western Electric?
Anywhere you look-in engineering and other professional areas-the answer to that question is progress. For Western Electric is on a job of ever-increasing complexity, both as the manufacturing and supply unit of the Bell System and as a part of many defense communications and missile projects.
These two assignments mean you'll find yourself in the thick of things in such fast-breaking fields as microwave radio relay, electronic switching, miniaturization and automation. You may engineer installations, plan distribution of equipment and supplies. Western also has need for field engineers, whose world-wide assignments call for working with equipment we make for the Government. The opportunities are many-and they're waiting!
You'll find that Western Electric is career-minded...and you-minded! Progress is as rapid as your own individual skills permit. We estimate that 8,000 supervisory jobs will open in the next ten years—the majority to be filled by engineers. There will be corresponding opportunities for career building within research and engineering. Western Electric maintains its own full-time, all-expenses-paid engineering training program. And our tuition refund plan also helps you move ahead in your chosen field.
Opportunities exist for electrical, mechanical, industrial, civil and chemical engineers, as well as in the physical sciences.
