Lenoir Hall Steak Room
Breaks Meal Monotony
By DIANE COCHRANE
Special to the DTH
Colored candles, back
ground music and dim lights
all contribute to the relax
ing atmosphere which makes
dining at Lenoir Hall's new
Steak Room an enjoyable ex
perience. Corn stalks mark the en
trance to the small cafeteria
at the south end of the build
ing which features a special
steak dinner. The harvest
theme is carried through the
room with evergreen trees
and pumpkins that line the
walls.
The Steak Room is an in
novation which University
Food Service Director George
Prillaman instituted with the
students' best interests in
mind. It was his desire Co
break the monotony of the
students' routine by offering
this attraction of leisurely
dining at a moderate price.
A menu of grilled strip
steak, baked potato, garlic
bread, tossed salad and cof
fee or tea is featured for 99
cents from 5 to 7:15 p.m.
daily.
Kenneth Krakow, assistant
Director at Lenoir Hall, said
the University Food Service
is able to offer low prices to
the students because pur
chasing is done by the State
through bids. "The commod
ity is bought at the cheapest1
price for the specified qua
lity," he said. Large volumes
also help keep prices down.
An estimated 5,000 persons
eat in the upstairs dining
facilities of Lenoir Hall daily.
During the first week of its
operation the Steak Room
sold over 2,000 steaks. The
management is very much
pleased with the success of
the new attraction and looks
forward to its long continua
tion. Students' enthusiastic re
sponse and favorable com
ments have prompted plans
for additional University food
services. A luncheon special
began this week in the Steak
Room which features soup
and a sandwich or salad for
40 cents. Krakow also re
vealed plans to open another
one of the small dining rooms
in Lenoir Hall next week for
a 50-cent special. One meat,
vegetable, bread and bever
age will be available.
Did you know that Thanks
giving didn't become a na
tion - wide observance until
1864? It's a fact! And this is
just' one of the , many sur
prising facts about our tra
ditional American holiday.
The first Thanksgiving was
held in December of 1621,
when Governor William Brad
ford of the Plymonth Colony
appointed a day of celebra
tion and sent four men out
to shoot wild turkeys and oth-
er fowl.
The Pilgrims had come
ashore from, the Mayflower
on Dec. 21, 1620. The winter
that followed had been heart
breaking; half of the entire
band had perished of disease,
hunger and exposure. But
the following March, two Al
gonquin speaking Indians,
Samoset from the Pemaquid
tribe and Squanto from the
Wampanoag tribe, befriended
the remaining group, gave
them Indian cord seed tell
ing them to plant "when the
oak leaves are as big as
mouse ears," and to catch
fish to fertilize the soil. Thus
the seeds were sown for the
first Thanksgiving harvest.
It was a warm and bright
summer, and the crops grew
and thrived. When autumn
arrived, the three log ware
houses were filled with pro
visions the harvest of 20
acres of corn, and 6 acres of
wheat, rye, barley and . peas.
Governor Bradford thought
it fitting to celebrate and
give thanks for their good
fortune and a formal invita
tion was issued to Massasoit,
grand sachem of the Pokano
ket Indians to join them in a
feast of Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving days follow
ing harvests later came to be
celebrated throughout the
New England Colonies but on
different and varying days.
George Washington proclaim
ed November 26, 1789, as the
national Thanksgiving Day
in honor of the new constitu
tion; but the custom con
tinued to vary widely among
the states kept alive only by
the proclamations of local
governors.
It was a woman, Sarah
Josepha Hale, however, who
first suggested that Thanks
giving should be a national
patriotic holiday. She was the
editor of the popular wom
an's magazine called "God
ey's Lady's Book," and for
almost 20 years she cam
paigned through editorials
and letters to the President,
state governors and other in
fluential persons.
Finally, Sarah Hale was
able to win the support of
President Abraham Lincoln.
In the third year of the Civil
War, he believed that the
Union had veen saved; he
therefore proclaimed a na
tional day of thanksgiving to
be celebrated on Thursday,
November 26 naming the
last Thursday in November
as the day to be observed
each year.
Today the occasion is still
a time for giving thanks with
reverent prayers, flower dec
orations and a turkey feast.
But while it is wild and
domestic turkey that is tra
ditional in the United States
cor Thanksgiving, in Japan
a similar holiday of. thanks
is celebrated each year on
November 23rd with visits to
shrines and candy and pots
na-
of hot ceremonial tea.
The colorfully - clad
tives on the island of Sardin
ia, on the other hand, meet
at the end of the harvest sea
son in August to offer their
thanks in the Festival of the
Savior. At sundown a solemn
procession of people proceed
to Church for prayer and to
give thanks. Within a few days
after the festival, the hunting
season starts!
In Bavaria at the thanks
giving festivals, which take
place each year at the end
of the harvest season, na
tives dress in traditional at
tire and perform folk dances
which go back to the 13th
and 14th centuries.
It doesn't matter if y o u
choose to celebrate Thanks
giving in the typical Ameri-
can fashion with domestic
and wild turkey, or with col
orful folk dances, or with hot
ceremonial tea just as long
as the spirit remains, making
the holiday one of the year's
most eagerly awaited and
universally enjoyed.
