Rubs Change
For Dining Hall
Girls will no longer be re-
quired to wear a dress to the
Saturday noon meal, announced
Mrs, Roxie Cress, dining hall
director, Friday.
The action came in response
to a recommendation from the
Foods Council, which asked that
girls be permitted to wear
pants since there were no long-
ei* Saturday classes. The Stu-
dent Council recommended fa-
vorable consideration of this
fove to the administration
with subsequent approval.
This change affects only the
Saturday noon meal. Dress at
other meals will be the same
as in the past.
Another change in Dining
Hall practice is that the Friday
evening meal will be served
only from 4:50 p.m. to 5:30,
instead of to 5:50. Mrs, Cress
said that this change was made
because so few people came in
after 5; 30.
Mrs. Cress also explained
why the second breakfast con-
sists of leftovers from, the first
breakfast and is no! fresh-cook-
ed food. The practice of having
a, second breakfast was begun
three years ago at the request
of students who only wanted
coffee and cereal, not a full
meal. The dining hall could not
cook a fresh second breakfast
because it would interfere with
the preparation of the noon
meal, Mrs, Cress said.

als. Along with one junior, and
one senior college, ttie- high •

of storing and retrieving know-
ledge through the use of com-
puters.
On the way back from Chi-
cago, Cunyus will stop over.in

pective agricultural education
