Tako. last Wednesday night as a ease in point. On the thirty-five and fourty cent meat slot, wo wore offo.red two different varieties of scabrous sausage. For fifty cents that ultimate of culinary doj.ights, scaizophrenic chopped steak (so called, as the undergraduates say, for it's I'so very cookcd on the outside, but oh, so raw within.") If none of these wore found irresistablc, there was the old stand-by, Salt Soup. How was one to make a choice last Wednesday night? The boy beside me in line asked with a sob in his throat "Which is loss worse?" And the vegetables! Ah! ! ^ They say in Europe that a really great cook is distinquishjd by his soups and his vegetables (anyone can cook moat, oven an American), but he is known especially by his vegetables. Last V/ednesday night there wore the ususal powdered potatoes, of course, and the usual brackish greens, the usual canned apples, the usual canned apple sause, the usual canned carrots, and as a special treat, scorched scalloped potatoes. How I wished for a European gourmet to jass his astute {Judgment on those vegetables! Cast aspersions on American Institutional cooking, will they? Those vegetables would shock him! But I was disappointed. I had been hoping all day for my spelal favorites, Surprise Pie; or second, Baked Fam a la Trichinoso. At HiJidci-SydnL.y College several years ago, the students were dissatisfied with the food. Such presumption! Suoh boorishness! (Presbyterian ochool.) They waited until everyone was served, then with a bloodcurdling cry they heaved their plates against one wall and walked out. Save us from such a thing at Wake Forest, /A4. ^ Slater. We have more rcspect for our wall! (At least they have a CHOICE at Wake Forest!) RAMBLING AT RAITDOK Rambling briefly The Board of Elections is to be commended for he manner in which it conducted the election for Carolina Conference Queen, 'he committee was informed at a late date that the election results and pictu: .ere due last week. It vms decided to hold open nominations by ballot with /oting done the following day. Any girl with the aca/lemic requirements was eligible. Hearty congratulations go to the winner. Sue Ferguson, of whom we ■".re especially proud since she is a member of THE CAKPUS CRIER staff To be or not to be casual is the question. Shall our SG bo a casual, informa" ?ne, or shall it be dignified and respectfully formal? The matter of dress ■nay have something to do with it. That is, should our SG officials wear the "appropriate coats and ties v/hen appearing before the Student Body? Have you ; tipinion? There have been rumored comments that some students feel this column is centered around a small group. Do these students go to 3lon? In admittcnce that someti.-cs rambling topics are subtle and perhaps ovr ■'Ointed, it takes but a momEient of thought to decipher them and to realize ^hat they arc of interest (or arc intended to bo) to most students in general /^lether based on specifics or not. If these apparently "felt-loft-out student lare to see the editor, perhaps they can be included in the column and then rill probably not feel that it is centered. Also, if anyone cannot catch on >0 a comment that seems to come from a scrambled mind, the vrriter would bo mos lelighted to explain, if possible. Now that the defense has spoken, remember( jaid so many times before) that anyone is free to write to the paper be it in :riticism or otherwise. Then again, perhaps the rambling has been done in the "rong places? There are so many thoughtful professors on '.ampus who are kind onov'.gh to give students a chance to prepare for finals... ;hat is, a chance TO PRACTICE STUDYING! i! It seems that the week before exams hould be called "pre-exam" week because so many "last tests" are given.(This 'ould, of course, be an extra long week running right up to the day before ;xams start,) If only wo had some sort of "test-ban" program so that students ■ould not be too saturated from Studying to REVIEW for finals,....,.
