Antiquated Goulash
On October 7, a “Food Survey”
was conducted by Mr. Bill Beckham
and the cafeteria staff. The purpose
of the survey was to give the stu
dents a chance at self-expression,
to let them choose what foods they
would like to be served, as well as
to make suggestions in regard to
their food service.
According to Mr. Beckham, the
survey was quite successful, and he
would like to thank the students for
being conscientious and sincere.
Some were quite original in their
comments. For example, one boy
said it was his unbiased opinion that
the “antiquated collection of Hun
garian goulash" was unfit for the
growth of L. C. students and that
90 per cent of those innocent by
standers have already contracted an
acute case of ulcers and that the
only solution was for the students
to have an all out revolution!
Other comments ranged from “no
jazz at breakfast” to “too many
beans. And potatoes.”
As a result of the survey, there are
going to be changes in the food.
There are going to be more scram
bled eggs, more fried chicken and

International News Briefs
KHRUSHCHEV
Khrushchev’s disappearance is the
disputed mystery at present. Khru
shchev's opponents as well as his
friends all are shocked and disap- ■
pointed. The energetic old politician ,
who had been for the last few years i
the man of the news had vanished
suddenly from the scene. What is of
importance here is not only the pro- i
j cedure of his being ousted. It was
I expected or at least not surprising |
to quite a few of those who followed ;
closely the disposition of leaders!
who had preceded Khrushchev. The j
mystery now is whether Khrushchev j
; will continue not to be heard of, as
: his predecessors were.
The attention may be called here
to the reaction in the world which
followed Khrushchev’s disappear
ance. Very little is known about the
opinion of the Russian people and
the Communist party in Russia, j
However, the reaction of the Com
munist party outside Russia was
publicly inquiring, which is unusual
in the history of the Communist
party. Another fact that deserves
attention here too is Khrushchev
himself—whether he would easily
yield to his successors and avoid
public appearances or give any as
surances to the present leaders to the
effect that he will not criticize them
if he is granted any type of freedom.
Khrushchev’s temperament and
aggressiveness are well known. On
more than one occasion Khrushchev
exceeded his party lines. He failed
to be courteous enough on occasions
like that of his well-known riot in
the U. N. or his open criticism of
his hosts’ ideology and tactics and
from the hosts’ forums. This is to
conclude that the present leaders of
Russia would attempt, under the
most critical situations, to keep him
away from the public scene.
Recently, the Secretary-General
