Cooking For 400: 'Fairly Easy,' GSP Dietician Says
Paneakes: 36 lbs. flour, 2 lbs. baking powder, 1 cup salt, 6 lbs. sugar . . . these proportions might sound out of line to a housewife, but to Mrs. John Nelson, head dietitian at Gertrude Sellars Pearson cafeteria, they represent an "average breakfast."
"Actually it is no more a problem to cook in large quantities than to prepare a meal for six persons," said Mrs. Nelson, who plans meals for over 400 women. "In fact with our fine equipment and staff, it is fairly easy."
The staff includes an assistant dietitian, Mrs. Barbara Popp,
seven cooks, 19 women students who help serve, and 10 men students who "run" the dishroom.
Some or all of these employees are in the cafeteria every day from 6 a.m. until after 7 p.m.
Most of the food is ordered from Kansas City or Topeka, and its preparation has to be done well in advance of the meals.
"We usually brown our meats a day before serving, then put them in the refrigerator," Mrs. Nelson said. "That way the seasoning permeates the meat and the flavor is at its best."
The main difficulty is keeping the food warm from the time it is taken from the ovens until the women begin to eat it. Mrs. Popp said.

Speech Group To Meet
All students who are interested in becoming members of the Foreign League are invited to an orientation meeting at 7:15 Wednesday in the English Room of the Student Union.

Grandmother Is A Flying Editor
A flying grandmother spoke at KU Friday.
Mrs. Marie Engleman, editor of the Hill City Times and called grandmother by three young children, flew her own airplane from the Hill City Times and called a journalism class, Communications in Society.
Mrs. Engleman, who says she flies because she is "afraid to drive," told the class of the advantages, other than material, that can be gained from working at a weekly newspaper. She has been editor of the Hill City Times since 1947.
Metalluraist To Speak

Mr. Highriter, vice president and director of research at the corporation, will speak on "Powder Metallurgy." Anyone interested in the meeting is invited to attend.
Jupiter May Be Fuel Source
If man breaks through the space barrier, cold and lifeless Jupiter, the biggest planet, may turn out to be a gigantic reservoir of rocket fuel. It would be in the form of fragments of chemical compound in Jupiter's atmosphere, which the icy temperatures of the planet keep from combining.
GI Interest Rates May Rise
The custom of tipping stems from 16th and 17th-century coffee houses in England. Customers were expected to drop coins in a brass-bound box inscribed "To-insure Promptness," later reduced to the initials TIP.
Congress may be asked next session to raise interest rates on GI home mortgages. The idea would be to make them more attractive to investors and pep up the lagging home building industry.
at Corbin Hall for three years, works with the dieticians at all the other residence halls in preparing menus.
"We take turns planning meals and check with each other to see that one item isn't repeated too often," she said.
Asked what the students' most prevalent likes and dislikes are, Mrs. Nelson said: Hamburgers and hot dogs top the list of favorites and green vegetables, especially broccoli, are their pet peeves."
Korean Professor StudyingTheAtom
A member of the Korean Atomic Energy Commission, Joon Taik Han, is studying at KU for his master's degree in radiation biophysics.
Han, professor of physics at Seoul University, is one of five scientists sent to the United States by the Korean government this fall to study the application of atomic energy to both peace and war-time uses, prior to the installation of a nuclear reactor there.
Three of the commission members were sent to the Argonne National Laboratory in Chicago, one to the University of Chicago and one here. Han will study medical and biological aspects of atomic energy under Frank Hoecker, professor of physics.
A professor from The Netherlands College of Economics in Rotterdam, will be the guest of Thomas R. Smith, professor of geography, Wednesday through Friday.
Dutch Prof Visits Here
Dr. J. H. Witteveen, professor of political economy and foreign trade, is spending several months in the United States investigating problems of economic development and business investment. He is also visiting a number of universities to study problems and practices of education in economics and business.
Dr. Witteveen will lunch with members of the department of economics Wednesday and will lecture to the graduate seminar in economics on "Business Cycles and Economic Growth" on Thursday. He will meet with several economics classes during his stay.
Dr. Smith became acquainted with Dr. Witteveen last year while a visiting professor at Rotterdam.

One of the major attractions with the "Jazz at the Phil" concert troupe is Oscar Peterson, Canadian pianist. He has a clearly-distinguishable style marked by strong rhythm and a technique which critics have called "dazzling in conception."
The idea that "too many cooks spoil the broth" is being disproved daily in the University's men's scholarship halls. Here future engineers, businessmen, teachers, doctors, etc., harness their talents to the kithchen stove and turn out
Too Many Cooks' Adage Not True At Battenfeld

three meals a day that are not only edible but appetizing.
This year the men at Battenfeld Hall have a completely remodeled kitchen to inspire them to new heights of culinary greatness.
Mrs. E. H. Hashinger of Kansas City, Kan., gave over $10,000 to redecorate the kitchen. It was through her donation that Battenfeld was built in 1940 and she has shown continuing interest in it since that time.
"Although most of the men haven't had any cooking experience, I think the meals are of surprisingly good quality," commented Herb Hilgers, Plainville junior and president of Battenfeld.
"Most of the men feel their cooking is quite an accomplishment, but mistakes are made," Hilgers said. "Last year, for instance, someone put garlic salt in the pancake batter."
By doing their own cooking, housework and many repairs, the men save about $300 a year. Room and board costs $40 a month for each person. Meals are planned and the morning cooking supervised by the housemother, Mrs. A. G. Kenton.
Pearson, Joliffe, Foster, and Stephenson, scholarship halls follow the same plan as Battenfeld.
Non-farmers now comprise 87 per cent of the nation's population. The figure is expected soon to reach 90 per cent.
