SOUP'S ON—Mrs. Gerald Raw, assistant to William H. Williams, catering service director of the Student Union, is busily preparing for one of the many banquets in the kitchen on third floor of the Union.
Steaks, Salads, Parfaits For 8 To 800 Is Their Job
Keeping the parfaits frozen and the salads from wilting is all part of the job, said William H. Williams, catering manager for the Student Union.
Just before a large banquet, Mr. Williams found that the refrigerator had gone off during the night and all the parfaits had melted.
The only thing to do was to make 30 new perfaults in 20 minutes, he said, and "we did it."
Able To Serve 899
The Student Union catering service is able to serve from 8 to 800 guests at a meal. Most of them are students, faculty, alumni and their various organizations.
The catering service serves breakfasts, lunches, suppers, teas and student wedding receptions. They also serve Saturday buffets in the ballroom for the University public after football games.
They employ, beside Mr. Williams, two full time women, who prepare deserts and salads for the dinners, five part time waiters and waitresses, and about 40 girls from Haskell Institute who wait tables.
And 200 Were Waiting
Before desert once, at a lunch with 200 guests, the five student waiters and waitresses put on their coats to go to their classes. Mr. Williams said he had forgotten that the students would have to leave at that time. Some of the other Union employees helped him out and they finished the dinner without further complication.
Salads, deserts, and steaks are prepared in the kitchen catering service on third floor of the Union. All other food is prepared by the Student Union cafeteria.
Commencement is a big time for the catering service when they serve about 800 people in smaller rooms throughout the day and 800 in the Ballroom that night.
