Cafeteria Cashier’s Woes:
‘See You Around, Flunkie’
In between the jingle of coins
and the cold slap of bills in the
cafeteria cash-register comes a
steady flow of chatter. Directly
over the punch keys, the dialogue
is accentuated by a vivacious
gurgly sort of laugh. Marilou
Garrett is showing her apprecia
tion of someone’s blurted - out
joke. Nearly always she’s ready
with a swift come-back.
“Let’s see . . . roast beef,
cabbage, chocolate milk, tossed
salad, sweet potaotes . . . with
gravy? . . . son, you’ve got a
powerful digestive system . . .
pecan pie . . . you’re picking out
the nuts? It’s still the same
price, sir . . . uh, Rice Krispies.
Amazing what you can cram on
one tray. That’ll be . . .”
“Thought I heard you coming.
The tread of tiny toes. Sorry
about the yellow of the eggs
running all over your toast. It
makes your breakfast more diges
tible though, and besides the yolk
sorta blends in with that pretty
paisley tie, in case it splatters. If
you’d rather we have a stack of
pablum under the cash-register
for such emergencies.
“No, ma’am. I’m subject to
error like any human being, but I
think I added up that ice cream
sandwich correctly. Yes, it sure
is easy to get figures tripped up
in your head. I might accidently
reverse the 1 and 0 in the
excitement of ringing up a 10
cent item.
“Ah, Mr. Draper. Let me add
up that appetizing meal for you.”
“Short-change me, Miss Gar
rett, and I chop off part of your
test grade. Believe me, you can’t
afford it.”
“Gee, am I glad he smiled
when he said that.”
“Marilou! Can you break bread
with me half-past the noon
hour?”
“Glad to, if this line will ]ust
calm down. It’s endless. Groan—
my aching arches! What ever
happened to that handy little
stool I used to sit on and call
‘friend.’ ”
“Do you charge extra for extra
napkins? How ’bout if we take
the dispenser also?”
“Honestly, we cashiers need a
labor union.” Clink, zipp, ring!
“Hey watch out for that cream
machine. You just push up and
let her rip. I laughed ’til I
thought I’d die when Mr. O’Con
ner put old ‘Elsie’ in. People
would push down on that thing;
then they’d push back up and
nothing would happen. But when
Britton Given Student Party
Nomination For President
they gave up and moved their
coffee cup, well there’d just be a
huge puddle of cream on the
counter.”
“Sorry, we can’t take diners’
club cards.”
“How about a Phillips 66 credit
card with a Beetle insignia, or
my dirt infested, dog-eared Bob
Dylan protest card? Oh, you
don’t go for that . . . what am I
offered for one tempting batch of
french fries?”
“Yes the stock market did take
a dive and your investments
were tied up in Delsey Tissue.
Still, we cannot honor a dishon
orable check or that cobwebby
Confederate money.”
“Back for refueling? That’ll be
“About 30 cents.”
“67.”
“30.”
“Mr. Draper, I hope you’re
not as stingy with your grades
as you are with your money.”
’’See you around, Flunkie.”
“Who thumped that Batman
sticker on the back of the cash
register? It doesn’t seem digni
fied somehow.”
After the one o’clock line
narrows down to a slow trickle,
Marilou charges behind the
steam table to pick up a plate of
whatever is left after the after
noon cleanout of provisions.
She may get as far as 10 paces
or perhaps relax to the extent
she can shovel the fork half-way
to her pert little mouth. But then
again, the possibility of someone
else wanting his yummies totaled
up far overrides that of Marilou
getting nourishment. Between
sporadic fork - pushing sessions,
her food may become slightly
less than room temperature.
However, the vivacious strawber
ry-haired freshman has a sense
of humor to carry her through
any frontal attack by ravaged
students. Her Hershey bar eyes
dance when the occasion war
rants it, yet they can flick to
dead seriousness when she hears
some tragedy or problem of a
fellow student. Marilou has got to
be a combination “mother-con
fessor,” mediator, stunt girl,
comedian, and price add,er-upper.
Besides her many hours on duty
at the cash register, she must
also help keep books for the
cafeteria, maintain her scholar
ship, miraculously keep that
straight B average.and take ac
tive participation in school af
fairs.
Scliolarsliip

“Students who currently hold
scholarships, grants, or loans,

need to continue to receive
financial assistance, should, if
they have not already done so,
write to the Dean of Student
Affairs requesting a renewal of
their award for the 1966-1967
year.” These words to affected
students comes from Dean Mac-
kay.
t
Mackay stated that the let
ter tiled by the student to his

ment that the financial sit
uation previously reimrted

uation should also be report
ed in the letter.

1965 a new form should be
obtained by the student. When

mentioned above should be filed
with the Student Affairs office

Tim Britton received the Stu
dent Party nomination for Stu
dent Body President by acclama
tion at the group’s spring nomina
ting convention Wed. March 9.
Britton is a rising senior who
has been active in student gov
ernment as a representative from
the Junior class and chairman of
the Student Legislature Finance
committee. He has also served as
a judge in the Student Court, a
member of FAC and speaker pro-
tem of the Legislature.
The nominations for two other
executive council positions, vice-
president, and secretary were
also filled by acclamation. Sam
Scott, a rising junior, received
the party nod for the V-P posi
tion while Wilma Happy received
the SP endorsement for secre
tary. Both Scott and Happy have
been active in the Legislature
this year with Scott heading the
Judicial committee and Happy
serving as secretary for the
Legislature.
In a close balloting Sue Garrett
defeated Frank .lones for the
party endorsement for Treasurer.
Miss Garrett is a rising senior
who is also a member of the
Legislature.
The only other endorsement
given by the convention went to
Frank Jones who edged out Jan
Gallaway for the nomination for
University Union Chairman.
Proceedings were begun to en
dorse class officer nominees but
they were aborted on a motion
from the floor because it was felt
that not enough time was left in
the meeting to allow for this
action. The position of president
of the Senior class and Vice
President of the Senior class had
been filled but were disallowed
as a result of the successful
motion.
The group also selected a new
chairman to replace Britton who
resigned to accept the presiden
tial nomination. Mitch Borden
Tim
Britton
Sam
Scott
won in a close vote over party
vice-chairman Ben Horack for
this position.
The Student Party’s platform
was adopted by the membership
by a unanimous vote after only
one minor change.
The platform urges a revision of
the present faculty-student advis
or setup and calls for a “com
plete Student Government consti
tutional revision” to free the
Legislature from the rigidness of
the present document. The party
also pledges to “do all possible to
encourage the establishment of
national fraternities and sorori
ties” on campus and to work out
a system for student discounts
with local merchants.
