Coming: on the Warren Report
Famous Old Recipe For Roast Pig
This week the editorial staff of the Kansan will attempt to make an evaluation of the current controversy over the findings of the president's commission to investigate the death of John F. Kennedy, better known as the Warren Commission.
This controversy is perhaps the largest and most far-reaching of modern times, and, although it has been treated again and again in national magazines, newspapers and books, we feel that it is still newsworthy and significant editorial fodder.
MUCH OF OUR TREATMENT will necessarily be a re-hash of much that has already been written on the subject, but much will also be an attempt at a fresh analysis. We feel a responsibility to present such a report and analysis to our readers on the campus because the controversy touches all walks of life in this country, not the least of which is the university community.
At the same time we strongly urge our readers to respond following the presentation of our material, and to give other opinions and or facts, observations, rumors, etc., which we have overlooked or which seem to be relevant to a greater degree than that at which they have been handled. In subsequent issues we shall devote as much space as possible for reader response. This invitation is extended to all areas of the campus.
It will be our hope to enlighten the readers on some of the lesser-known aspects of the investigation and the assassination itself, and to add our voices to the growing cry that such a vital and significant time in the life of our country must be dealt historical justice.

The people say...
To the editor:
Your statement in a recent issue of the UDK certainly deserves the wrath of all those who eat in McCollum Hall. I am refering to a line in a story about our new football coach which stated, and I quote, "Rodgers sleeps but doesn't eat in McCollum..." Such visional statements which are obviously directed to malign the quality of the food at McCollum shall not go unreprimanded. So I am seizing this opportunity to personally point out the outstanding features of our culinary facilities.
I MUST BEGIN with the fine Thanksgiving dinner which I am sure will go down in the minds of McCollum residents next only to the "Last Supper"—the cafeteria was bedecked with beautiful decorations, the only drawback was that the people could not see them too well for only candlelight illuminated the cafeteria.
The main attraction was, of course, the food. As a matter of fact, the food was so good there were a hundred people waiting in line to get to it. The "important people" (I won't mention positions) immediately took command and escorted each other to the front of the line so they could be the first
to taste the fine cuisine (why should they have to wait 45 minutes in line?). They did deserve to be the first to eat that food though.
Finally, when we got to the food,—let me tell you—it was delicious. I had never tasted food like that in all my life (and you know I haven't tasted any like that since at McCollum, but that's getting off the subject). I had some complaints after all I have to say something bad about the food since somebody might think I am trying to get a job working in the Line—the pumpkin pie was a little too crusty (half an inch), the turkey was a mite too red, and the potatoes were slightly tough; otherwise, it was a fine dinner.
NOW TO LEAVE the specific good point of the food behind and cover the overall merits of it. I must commend the dietary department for being so patriotic. President Johnson says we can have "guns and butter," but the dietitians have taken it upon themselves to re-serve every bit of food they have leftover. I mean, it's not too patriotic to serve leftovers one day or two days or even three days after they were first served; but I'm telling you, it is "flag waving time" when one is so
true blue as to serve it after seven days. I have heard that they learned that during the First World War, but I know there is nothing to that.
Such achievements deserve better accolades than your rude remarks. Let me say, the only reason Mr. Rodgers would eat somewhere else is because he can afford it. That's what separates the students from the coaches.
There is another rumor going around that the omelets they are making in the cafeteria are going to receive a citizenship award from the Board of Regents. Because of the many fires in and around campus, someone was commissioned to invent a material which would suffocate the fires quickly. Well, I should have known this; those eggs are the greatest waterless fire-extinguishers since foam.
