Stopping at the Inn...
I'm studying tonight—it's do or die:
I'm eight weeks behind in poll. sci.
I think I'd better do some work
Since finals time is drawing nigh.
I'll bet my prof would think it queer
Were he to know I'm sitting here
With head in book and pen in hand
This desperate season of the year.
I give my weary head a shake
To see if I am still awake.
I focus briefly on the book,
Then think it's time to take a break.
This book is boring, long and deep.
But I have a draft exemption to keep
And pages to go before I sleep;
And pages to go before I sleep.

Service in McCullom'
Salad lady strikes back
To the editor:
In regard to the letter by Ravi Bhasker about the food service at McCullom (sic) Hall, I would like to sav a few words also.
It seems a little late to be talking about the Thanksgiving dinner, but since he mentioned it. let's discuss it.
May I first say that when you are feeding over 800 students, three meals every day, that it takes extra time and work to prepare a special dinner and "be-deck the cafeteria." And I am sure there were 100 standing in the line because 800 go through every meal, and they did that day also.
AS TO THE important people who went first in the line, I don't know who they were unless it was the students who had decorated the dining room, and were needed to help in the seating and to be sure every one had butter, rolls, salads, desserts, etc. They were appreciated by the kitchen help, and were considered important people.
The turkey was bought in turkey rolls, as it is time saving (try carving turkey for 800 sometime) and of course is already cooked, so it must have been the candelight which made him see red. The potatoes were the instant potatoes, mashed, so it is a little hard to imagine them as "tough." And you would be surprised at how fast those "half an inch crust" pumpkin pies disappeared. And if you are wondering how many pies are needed for one meal at McCul-

700.
With Kennedy—Pierre Salinger's last lonely look at JKF and his personal diplomacy is a rattling good story of people in high places.
The Embezzler—Anyone for fraud? Author Auchinloss tells of the embezzler's path to crime in a provocative and entertaining work that points up man's amazing ability for duplicity.
Ed McBain's Doll (Dell, 50 cents)—what is labeled an 87th Precinct mystery. McBain's heroes are cops. Yes, cops. Even in these days of "police brutality," which is the main thing we hear about cops these days.
THE MEALS FOR the students halls are planned by a group of dietticians. The meats and vegetables are varied day by day, as are the salads and desserts. There can be no catering to individual tastes, of course, but there are enough choices so that any student would have a good, well balanced meal.
Unsafe at Any Speed—Lawyer Ralph Nader's commentary on the state of the American automobile today, though it lacks sophistication, is vital reading for a nation that seems headed for sub-nuclear destruction on its own roads.
The Last Hundred Days—Historian John Toland presents a close look at the last hectic days of World War II.
And with the healthy appetites we serve at McCullom, it would be a real achievement to have leftovers after seven days. They might get the same food item served again within the week, but it isn't a leftover.
I AM QUITE SURE he wouldn't like working on the food line either, because the boys and girls who do assume the responsibility of getting the food they are in charge of to the line and serving it. They are a good, dependable group, and I feel they realize what a big job it is to feed and try to please so many.
If you ever see the students coming down the hill, from the dorms, to their classes, you would realize, too, what an enormous job it is to feed and house them. They are at KU to get an education, not to run down a service that helps make that possible.
Although I do not know Ravi, I am sure if he spends as much thought and effort on his studies as he has on the letter about something of which he knows very little, he must be a straight A student.

"Just don't rush me!"
Letter bears rotten egg
Mr. Hamilton Salsich has thrown an egg at society, and it was rotten.
To the editors:
For years I have disregarded his letters as space-fillers for the UDK, but new one finds the next editor of the UDK as "whole-heartedly" concurring with Salsich's comments in Tuesday's UDK. The comments were basically a lambasting of those people throwing eggs and obscenities at "peaceniks" in Leavenworth recently. After authoring so many letters criticizing the KU student for being apathetic, he now censures people in general for taking action.
SALSICH HAS given the people no alternative. If the protest is ignored, Salsich protests. If the protest is met, either with counterpickets or violence, still more protests develop. Obviously, the only correct decision for the American is to follow Salsich's alien leadership and wield a placard.
Salsich is a psychologist using English as a cover. Sympathy for his cause is enhanced when "an older woman is splattered with eggs." Peaceful demonstrations are certainly not good publicity maneuvers. Letters to the Editor after the incidents are an absolute necessity lest we forget. He knows from experience that when the majority picks on a minority, the result is pity. The first picketing met with violence and the cause will thrive only as long as there is strong dissension.
WE ARE at war, Mr. Salsich—maybe you aren't, but America is. When did you finally decide to claim America as your home, Salsich? Last year? Was this all strategic so you could say that on Saturday, January 7, 1967, "America was not my country?" Are you an American only on Wednesdays? Why could you not be the person "frustrated with the smallness of (your) life, that in (your) search for self-respect must finally resort" to being a "peacenik" in order to obtain recognition?
You, Salsich, would not have "massacred the Indians, scorched the Japanese landscape and murdered Alabama Negroes," but that is part of our heritage, good or bad, without which you just might not have been able to live in America.
