Wants More Lettuce Consumption Alderson Adept Table Waiter
By Dennis Farney
Donald K. Alderson performed a duty not normally associated with his administrative post as dean of men last night—he waited tables at a KU dormitory.
Dean Alderson was fulfilling a pledge he made to all organized men's living groups last fall.
"I TOLD THEM that I would wait tables at any men's house that made a G.P.A. of over 2.00 for the fall semester," he said, as he dunned his white waiter's jacket. "I'm going to be a little more cautious about what I say next time," he added.
Pearson Men's Scholarship Hall, which earned a 2.05 average last semester, collected on Dean Alderson's pledge last night. Carrying two full dinner plates, he was greeted with an enthusiastic round of applause as he pushed open the swinging door leading to the Pearson Hall dining room.
"I WANT MY tables to be served just right," he said, re-arranging

the green beans on a plate which he was holding.
Interrupted frequently during his meal with requests from nearby tables for more butter, rolls, or water, Dean Alderson nevertheless managed to carry on a running exchange with his tormentors.
Minor problems were taken in stride. "How would you like to split three cups of coffee?" Dean Alderson asked a table of four, as he approached with only three coffee cups on his waiter's tray.
"Your boys aren't all eating their lettuce Mrs. Culbertson," he informed the housemother as he walked by the head table.
"Which of you four had the highest grade point average last semester?" he asked the table.
"HERE'S A BOY that eats his lettuce," he complimented one. "I've been watching you all evening," he added.
"All right, we'll give you a cup," he congratulated the winner. The remaining two cups were given to
the two students living the farthest distance from Lawrence.
ONE HAPLESS Overland Park student remained. "You'll have to go to the Hawk's nest," he was informed.
What was Dean Alderson's impression of his debut as a waiter?
"This waiting is really quite an easy job," he joked. "But then I've been practicing ever since the grades came out."
