International Meals? Phoocey!
Kansans Still Prefer Plain Mashed Potatoes
"It isn't that we don't like Indian rice ring. It's just that it takes too much time to prepare."
"Oriental-pineapple-nut-balls and Russian cream may taste OK, but they cost too much. We'll go broke buying pecans and dates!"
Such were the protests last week at the Hill Co-op, organized house for men, when the menu planner was Miguel Cardenas, Chihuahua, Mexico graduate student. Internationalism had gone to the extreme when Cardenas prepared a menu with each meal representative of a different country.

day of the week with a barrage ὑ requests for such items as sultanas, Chrysanthemum petals, truffles, and foie de gras paste.
"No harm was intended." Cardenas mourned, "I just got tired of eating hamburgers, soup, mashed potatoes, and tossed salad."
"I spent a lot of time on that menu," he said. "Some of it was good, some of it wasn't. I was just trying to give the meals an international flavor."
International Flavor
The Hill Co-op has made an effort to maintain an international atmosphere since it was organized in 1949. The number of foreign students in the house has always been high. Five of the present membership of 11 are foreign students.
The weekly job of writing the menu is rotated among the members to assure variety in the foods served. It worked fine until the series of international meals last week. A few of the members were about decided it was time to put the menu writing in more conservative hands.
This week, the menu is back to normal. The closest it comes to a foreign dish is the Spanish rice for Thursday dinner.

CLIFFORD SAYS-
If you're like me, you figure this by dividing the cost of a gallon of gas by the miles per gallon you get from your car. But I've been told that for —
know how much it costs you to drive your car one mile?
The MOTOR IN folks are specialists at REPAIRING ANY MAKE of car.
TRUE COST-PER-MILE FIGURES—
Give them a try!
divide the total cost of a year's driving (including oil, lubrication, repairs, parts, etc.) by total annual mileage.
With this system, I decided to compare the cost of my car before and after I began to have it serviced at MOTOR IN. Man! Did my teeth nearly drop when I saw the difference! My little Snazmobile's cost-per-mile had gone WAY DOWN since the MOTOR IN mechanics started to keep it running at peak efficiency, making those minor preventive adjustments that ward off the major repairs.
