Who Says Men Can't Cook? Senior Finds Out
Richard Breidenthal, Kansas City, Kan., senior, is the only man enrolled in an elementary foods class. Breidenthal is planning to become a restaurant manager and feels he needs to know more about the handling of food.
"He does quite well," said Mrs Norma Berry, instructor of home economics. "He hasn't had any experience and will have to take advanced work in foods and nutrition."
The elementary foods classes started the semester with an introduction to the course and a study of sanitation aid care of the lab.
They prepared salads and vegetable plates in their study of fruits and vegetables. Their study of milk and eggs included the actual preparation of baked custard, sponge cake, souffles and omelets. They also made vegetable soups, creamed soups and chowder.
Next, Breidenthal and classmates will study frozen desserts and then batters and doughs. Later, they will prepare meats and beverages. The classes will serve one complete meal in the dining room in Fraser Hall.
"The course is designed for beginners in foods so they can gain an insight into cooking principles and see why things happen during the cooking processes," Mrs. Berry said.
"The classes are divided into groups of four with each group preparing everything planned for a certain day," she said. "That way they can all taste the foods. The instructor demonstrates the lesson and the students ask questions. Then they go into the lab and prepare the food themselves.
"The classes occasionally see films. They recently saw movies on milk, safety in the lab and accuracy in measuring and cooking."

to persons on the campus who make reservations ahead. Each girl is assigned to fix one type of food for the luncheon.
There are four electric ranges in the kitchens. This fall a dozen new gas ranges were added.
This fall there are two Foods I classes, one Foods II class, one Foods III class and one Experimental Studies in foods class.
Engineering Grads Have NightClasses
One hundred and nine students have enrolled in the School of Engineering and Architecture graduate program in Kansas City, Kan. This is the largest number of students since the program was established three years ago.
Students enrolled are working for residence credit. The classes are taught by KU professors who go to Kansas City in the evenings to conduct the classes which are held at the KU Medical Center.
The program offers advanced degrees in aeronautical, chemical, civil electrical and mechanical engineering.
The purpose of the program is to help engineers who because of lack of finances or military obligations, were unable to complete their graduate work. The plan allows them to go to school and hold a full-time job at the same time.
Sigma Alpha Eta To Meet Thursday
Sigma Alpha Eta, professional speech correction and hearing fraternity, will hear three men whose larynx has been removed and who have learned to talk without a voice box tell how they learned to talk all over again at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in Bailey Hall.
They will be introduced by Clyde Rousey, assistant professor of speech it the University Medical Center, Kansas City, Kan. They will tell the group what problems they faced when they were told their larynx, the organ of voice, was to be removed.
Grades Useful, College Head Says
NEWARK, Del.—(IP)—"While the importance of grades in higher education may be overemphasized, they can serve a useful purpose," declares President John "A. Perkins of the University of Deleware in his annual report. "Grades should be an indication of one's ability to think logically and maturely rather than an indication of merely the ability to memorize.
"They should also indicate how well a person works, provide a public accountability for the use of time and money, and give a measure of an individual's sense of responsibility and sensitivity to the first-rate or excellent. The inculcation of these qualities is often as important as the substance of the subjects learned."
Music Fraternity Initiates Eight
Phi Mu Alpha, professional music fraternity, initiated eight members at its formal initiation Sunday in the Student Union.
Those initiated were De Ros Hogue, Dodge City junior; J. P. Colbert, St. Joseph, Mo., senior; Jim Avery, Burlington, Marlan Carlson, Wayne, Neb, Bruce E. Voran, Kinsley, John-R. M Mayhan, Emporia, David Laney, Lawrence, and Mike Conner, Dodge City, sophomores.
W.A.A. Meets Tonight
The Women's Athletic Assn. will discuss and vote on a proposed constitution in Robinson Gymnasium at 7 p.m. tonight.
Students: Visit Your Advisers
Freshmen and sophomores in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences will meet with their advisers Nov. 14, 15, and 16 for mid-semester reports.
They will receive letters from the College office telling them who their advisers are, their office hours, and what days the advising period will cover, said Gilbert Ulmer, assistant dean of the College.
Dean Ulmer advised groups who want reports on their students to get them from the advisers instead of individual instructors.
"Juniors and seniors in the College should see their departmental advisers," Dean Ulmer said. "The advising of juniors and seniors will vary among the departments."
"Although only D, F, and incomplete grades will be reported, all students should see their advisers to discuss their schedules for next semester." Dean Ulmer said.
Reports will be mailed at the end of the advising period to the parents of students who are down in their grades.
"If a student is unable to see his adviser during office hours, he should make an appointment with the adviser," he said.
Aircraft Engineer Talks To Group
Hydrostatic testing is a necessity for high pressure vessel aircraft such as the C-130, Paul H. Bremer, structural engineering head of the Georgia division of Lockheed Aircraft Corp., told the Institute of Aeronautical Science Tuesday night.
Mr. Bremer's topic was, "Static and Pressure Testing of the Lock-heed C-130." He showed slides and a film on the history and design of the C-130 to illustrate his talk.
Mr. Bremer, a veteran of 20 years of structural design work at Lockheed Aircraft Corp., also gave a brief outline of the companies corporate structure.
Fraternity Visits Curbed At Amherst
AMHERST, Mass. —(IP)— Amherst has finally laid down the law. In reaction to a plan sponsored by the local college campus governing body, 12 out of the 13 fraternities have decided to enforce a "toughening-up" policy against outside visitors on party weekends. The program has gained verbal support from President Charles W. Cole. He said that other colleges have started this same type of policy to curb outside overruns.
Although individual houses will handle their own enforcement programs, the general idea seems to be to initiate a system of guest cards. Already several fraternities have started their locked-door policy, and they intend to continue it for every weekend.
MARIETTA, Ohio —(IP)— Will expected enrollment increases in the nation's small colleges make extensive additions to physical plant and teaching staff necessary? A survey compiled at Marietta College, with 860 students, reveals the college could nearly triple its enrollment in the next 15 years and no proportionate increase in faculty or facilities would be necessary.
Room To Grow
In 1916 the Lawrence Journal- World reported that "as many as a dozen touring cars can be seen parked on Oread avenue during classes, and even a few small roadsters have appeared."
CHIEF JOE SKILLMAN
This year, under the new parking and traffic regulations, the University has registered some 5,872 automobiles.
Campus Cop一A Part Of KU Scene Since Model-T Era
These figures show the growth of the University, and the growth and importance of the campus police department.
From a 1-man staff during the era of model-T Fords, the campus police department has expanded to a force of 11 officers, a night dispatcher, and two office secretaries.
Officers in the early days were members of the Lawrence police department and were assigned as special policemen to the University. The first officer was Chester
German Problems To Be Explained
"Present-day Problems in Germany: East and West," will be discussed by Helmut Benning, graduate student from Muenster, Germany at a meeting of the German Club at 5 p. m. Thursday in 402 Fraser.
Herbert M. Hilgers, Plainville junior and president of the club, said Mr. Benning will discuss conditions which he has observed personally in both East and West Germany.
Professor To Attend Speech Program
MISS Margaret Byrne, assistant professor of speech and drama, will go to Mission Thursday as a consultant to the speech correction program of schools in District 110 of Johnson County.
She will meet with superintendents and speech correction teachers to review the status of the speech correction program and will visit children with severe problems later to review their cases with speech correction workers.
Siama Tau To Meet Thursday
Sigma Tau To Meet Thursday Sigma Tau, honorary engineering fraternity, will nominate new members at a short business meeting at 7 p.m. Thursday in the electrical engineering laboratory.
Fire losses in the United States last year totaled $1,140,768,000. That's $124 million more than in the previous year.

Lighter
E. Foster who was hired in 1946 to enforce campus traffic lanes. Before that, the campus had no special policemen.
Office Moved to Robinson
By 1947, Officer Foster had become such a familiar figure to the students that they hailed him affectionately as "Dick Tracy" when-ever they met him on the campus. The name stayed with Mr. Foster until he was relieved by Robert Corwin, the first campus police chief,
We Repair Lighters
As the University grew and the number of cars on the campus increased, Mr. Foster was appointed foreman of the campus police, and an office for the department was set up in the former Fowler shops, now Flint Hall.
One morning in 1947, Mr. Corwin took a student to the Lawrence city police court. When the student left, Mr. Corwin remained to watch the proceedings.
When the Fowler shops building was remodeled, the parking and traffic office was moved to its present location in Robinson Gymnasium. The force continued to grow.
Mr. Corwin, too, became a prominent figure. Students used to tell a story about the time the officer was mistaken for a traffic violater because of the olive-drab uniform he was wearing.
Chief Skillman believes that in recent years the public attitude toward law officers has changed considerably. He attributes the change to a greater understanding by police personnel of their duties and more extensive training.
Parking Ticket?
Suddenly the stern magistrate turned to Mr. Corwin and demanded, "Soldier, do you have a parking ticket?"
"No sir," Officer Corwin replied, coming to attention. "I'm on your side!"
Gustafson
The "Dick Tracy" of the campus today is Joe G. Skillman, who joined the force in 1947 so he "could work with the younger generation."
Appointed chief of the campus police in 1951, Mr. Skillman is well known in Lawrence for his extensive work with Boy Scouts. Last year he was awarded the Silver Beaver, the highest adult Boy Scout award, for distinguished service to boyhood.
Train at Local Department
Phone VI 3-5432
Chief Skillman is especially proud of the department's safety record. There has never been a traffic fatality on the campus, and there has been only one serious personal injury.
All officers on the campus police force receive 43 hours of training through in-service schooling with the Lawrence police department. They also receive 30 hours of traffic control at the KU Peace Officers' Training School.
THE COLLEGE JEWELEP
"We believe that this is due to the strict enforcement of our traffic laws," Chief Skillman said, "and the willingness of student drivers to cooperate and be alert to the tremendous pedestrian traffic on our campus."
