New foods in offing for dorm residents
By Linda Sleffel
Residence hall cooks and dietitians are learning from three General Mills chefs how to make new dishes from new products.
For the last two days three chefs have been demonstrating new products and showing how to use mixes and semi-prepared foods to save time, cut costs and provide greater variety.
TONIGHT, a number of desserts, casseroles and sauces will be served in Ellsworth and Hashinger Halls and the girls will have an opportunity to fill out questionnaires telling which of the dishes they want on future menus.
Demonstrating the new dishes are L. A. Haslar, sales manager for the Kansas City division of the General Mills food service; Westley Richardson, sales representative for the district, and Bill Lyman, chef, service representative.
"Our job is to show different
ways to use new products," Lyman said. "It's hard for people to visualize the various ways to use mixes. They read the directions and do exactly what it says. They don't think about details that can add variety."
YESTERDAY afternoon directors of residence hall food services and scholarship hall housemothers saw a demonstration on making different kinds of hot rolls.
Some of the new dishes were served in the two halls yesterday. Mrs. Lenoir Ekdahl, supervisory dietitian, said she hoped to have samples of most of them in the cafeterias tonight so girls who wished could taste them and give their opinions.
"The new products won't change the menus so much as they will change the methods of preparation." Mrs. Ekdahl said. "We'll use them to supplement what we already use and give greater variety."

Senate changes closing hour plan
Bu Elizabeth Rhodes
As suggested by the Associated Women Students (AWS) Senate, all sophomore women will have closing next year.
This decision was submitted to the Council on Student Affairs (COSA) yesterday as part of the Senate regulations proposals for KU women. It overrides last month's rules convention petition giving second semester sophomores no closing.
CAROLYN HOKE, Prairie Village senior and senate member, said the Senate decided "it would be easier to orient students to freedom at the beginning of fall semester than in the spring. Since keys were defeated by the convention, the next logical step was to start new hours at the junior level."
The Senate further reasoned that "by the time a girl is a junior she is serious about school and intends to graduate. She has picked her major, and is working toward something specific. Also, she is accustomed to her living arrangement. Sophomores are moving into new housing."
If another Senate proposal is accepted, however, underclassmen will have relaxed a system of extended closing thus allowing them some of the freedom given to junior and senior women.
THE SENATE suggested giving individual extended hours to any freshman or sophomore woman at
Firemen called to Hill car fire
Lawrence firemen were called to the campus at about 8 p.m. yesterday to put out a car fire near the intersection of Jayhawk Boulevard and Sunflower Road.
K. L. Chellappa, a graduate student from India and the driver of the car, said apparently a short circuit under the hood caused the fire. He could give no accurate estimate of the damage, but said several burned out lead wires prevented the car from being driven.
the discretion of a "designated official in the living group or the Dean of Women." Theoretically, a student would not have to state her designation or return to her residence at a specific time unless her living group ruled that she must do so. Such decisions will be left up to each living group and will not come from the Dean of Women's office.
Miss Hoke clarified the proposal, saying, "Remember, however, that a living group can limit any regulation. Also, the 'official' can limit the closing time. This regulation is broad to allow broad interpretation. However, it does not mean there is always blanket permission. It seems relative to the situation."
According to AWS President Ann Peterson, Shawnee Mission senior, the measure was designed to "shift responsibility to sophomores. It is hoped that officials in living groups will use the regulation broadly for women with second semester sophomore status."
THE SENATE overruled a convention decision to designate class status by the number of hours accumulated, and instead adopted years out of high school as the criteria. This is the classification method currently used.
Other regulations proposals submitted to COSA followed basically the decisions of the rules convention. In turning over Senate proposals, "any changes from the convention decisions were specifically pointed out along with the convention votes," Emily Taylor, dean of women, said.
Senate made this decision because "of the large number of people changing classification during the year." Nancy Gallup, Lawrence sophomore and AWS secretary said. "Years out of high school is the most dependable method."
COSA WILL RULE on the Senate suggestions and pass its proposals to Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe. He will have final jurisdiction. COSA decisions will not be made public before they are given to the chancellor, according to Dean Taylor.
The regulations will be completed in time for summer school.
Senate decisions were discussed yesterday at a combined meeting of the old and new senators. Jacke Thayer, Ellsworth junior and newly elected member of Senate, objected to the method used by the officials in making their decisions.
THE SENATE FAILED to get a pragmatic viewpoint, she said, from "people whose business it is to know what's going on." She referred to housing directors and people directly involved with women's living situations.
Instead, Miss Thayer said, Senate relied solely on their own judgment.
Senate handling of the regulations garnered 561 protest signatures on petitions circulated by a group including Miss Thayer, she said.
COSA can call in advisors, Dean Taylor said.
Miss Peterson said Senate worked within the framework decided upon when plans for a rules convention were initiated. "It is Senate's job to give the women students' point of view."
Rules to COSA for consideration
The living rules initiated and passed by the Associated Women Students (AWS) convention in March and revised by the AWS senate were introduced to the Council on Student Affairs (COSA) yesterday.
According to Emily Taylor, dean of women and member of the 17 member council, the rules will be considered and recommendations made and sent to Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe.
Meeting the first time with three additional student members appointed by the All Student Council, the committee discussed the rules with members of the AWS senate.
Major changes made by the AWS senate on the decisions of the convention in March were mainly closing hours for second semester sophomores and extended late hour privileges for freshmen and sophomores.
AWS senate members expressed hope that a decision could be reached by the council and a recommendation sent to the Chancellor in time for the rules to affect summer school regulations.
The council plans to question additional persons concerning the rules at their weekly meeting on Tuesday.
PASSES THREE RESOLUTIONS
ASC discusses dossiers
By Eric Morgenthaler
Telephone service in residence halls, student dossiers, review week, and the Council on Student Affairs, COSA) were targets of the principal resolutions passed in last night's All Student Council (ASC) meeting.
A committee to investigate the service of improving telephone service in all residence halls was created with the passage of a resolution introduced by Lee Peakes, Kirkwood, Mo., sophomore (UP—Men's Large).
A RESOLUTION introduced by Jack Harrington, Summit, N.J., junior (UP—journalism), and Bill
Reese, Hiawatha law student (UP — unmarried-unorganized), requested information about the exact procedure through which material in a student's personal dossier is disseminated to persons other than the student.
Vernon Voorhees, Kansas City sophomore (UP-married), and Jon Waller, Sedalia, Mo., graduate student (UP-unmarried-unorganized), sponsored a resolution creating a committee to discuss the possibilities and merits of a review week (or stop week) at the next meeting of the University Senate.
A SECOND resolution sponsored by Voorhees and Waller
requested that Al Martin, Shawnee Mission sophomore and student body president, be allowed to sit with COSA when it meets. Martin had reported in his opening remarks that he was denied admission to yesterday's COSA meeting.
Another resolution dealing with COSA, which proposed that the membership of COSA be changed to allow students to hold half the council's seats, was tabled until next week at Martin's suggestion. The resolution had been introduced by Jim Klump, Coffeyville sophomore (Vox—Men's Small), and Jerry Bean, Abilene sophomore (Vox—Men's Large).
