Springtime Calls for Switch To Lighter, Cooler Meals
By Linda Machin
Springtime meals are lighter, cooler and less spicy than in the winter, report four fraternity and sorority housemothers and two dormitory dieticians.
Serving iced tea instead of hot tea or coffee for meals is the first and most obvious change in spring menus of campus living groups. "The girls just don't want coffee any more in this warm weather," said one housemother.
As springtime signifies iced-tea time, it also calls for other cooler foods and beverages.
"CHILI, which I always serve when the first snow comes, is the first item I eliminate in the spring," said one housemother.
Another housemother said "I won't serve as much hot soup for lunch or hot cereals like oatmeal for breakfast."
While students shove their long-sleeved clothes and coats to the back of the closet to make room for short sleeved shirts or blouses, meal planners are shaving canned goods to the back of the shelves to make room for fresh fruits and vegetables.
Heavy casserole dishes also appear to be cold weather dishes. "I've stopped serving many heavy cheese dishes such as lasagne. However, I still serve meatballs and spaghetti, which isn't quite so heavy."
ONE DIETICIAN said "Since fresh fruits and vegetables are becoming less expensive, we're ordering more fresh bananas, strawberries and asparagus. Of course we're still limited by our budget," she added.
One sorority housemother agreed she liked to serve fresh asparagus occasionally, but stipulated, "Asparagus, like Brussels sprouts and liver, is not a favorite with too many girls."
Another housemother said that though "my boys" claimed they didn't like asparagus, they couldn't tell asparagus from broccoli when either was served in a casserole. Their favorite vegetables are corn and green beans.

Wagga Wagga Beauty To Visit Campus
Miss Wagga Wagga will be here Thursday, May 16.
The beauty title-holder from Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, will be in Kansas for a three-week visit as part of the Leavenworth-Wagga Wagga sister city exchange program.

While in Kansas, Miss McGarry will take part in the crowning of "Miss Leavenworth," visit KU and tour the Truman Library in Independence, Mo., where she will meet former President Harry Truman.

have at home," said another meal planner.
TOSSED SALADS, a perennial favorite, are supplemented by fruit plates with gelatin salads and cottage cheese, especially in the women's living groups.
She said, "I tell them they have plebian tastes. All they want is meat and potatoes. They don't like it if I try a fancy casserole or salad dressing which women are so fond of on fruit salads."
A fraternity housemother said the men would probably be content to eat tossed salads with oil dressing every night with their meal.
"They want more and more fresh fruit now. One of their favorite desserts is a dish of berries with cookies," she added. Pie, especially banana cream pie, is a more popular dessert than cake with "my boys".
One sorority housemother said, "We have spastic dieters throughout the year. They'll eat three desserts one night and nothing at all the next day."

SAN JOSE, Calir.-(UPI)-Santa Clara County Supervisor Sam Dela Maggiore has proposed a way to cut government costs—by charging county jail prisoners for their room and board, if they can afford it. The suggestion was referred by the board to the county counsel for study.

A GENUINE FORMAL BUTTON-DOWN?
Oh yes, and genuine even without
] label
MANY of you like our button-downs so much that you can hardly bear to wear anything else even on special evenings; now there is no reason why you should. And since we already make button-downs in 386 fabrics, patterns, and colors it would have been unthoughtful of us not to make it an even 387 with this button-cuff button-down of fine broadcloth.* You can find it at the best men's shops although not always under our label (many stores like our shirts so much they sell them under their own names). If you'd like to know which in your vicinity please write us: Eagle Shirtmakers, Quakertown, Pennsylvania.
*Notice it bulges gracefully at the collar just like the other 386. One time a man, new to our button-downs, wrote to say that the collar didn't lie flat. When we told Helen Mohr, in Collars, about it she said that she was relieved.
