Variety of Food is Secret to Please The University Student al Mealtime By Clifford Smith Cornhuskers but not corn eaters may be said of the' students of the University of Nebraska, according to information received from the Temple Cafeteria. Very few of the students and faculty members eating at the Temple choose cornbread, but bran and graham muffins are in great demand. The bread supply for one day sounds like an inventory of a bakery. In one day the cafeteria uses 5 loaves of rye bread, 30 pullman loaves of white bread, 35 pullman loaves of graham bread, 10 pans of parkerhouBe rolls, and 150 to 200 muffins. The demand for meat is rather slight, a 25-pound beef rib being sufficient for one day's supply. The menu always includes a high priced meat, a cheaper priced meat, and some meat substitute, thus enabling everyone to satisfy their desire for meat. When sausages are von the menu, 100 servings are prepared. Chicken pie, which is the most pop ular of all the meat disLj, is cocked in quantities enough for 250 to 309 servings. Many Potatoes Consumed i Two-hundred pounds of potatoes are used each day, ten bags being hm .rtViy fjynfr Qt.b?r d.ijy i PROBLEM OF HONORARIES IS DEFERRED Definite Action on Abolition of Organizations Put Off by Faculty Committee VALKYRIE IN QUESTION Discussion Went to Faculty Committee After Vote Taken By Student Council Definite action was deferred on the abolition of student honorary so cieties, at the meeting of the Faculty Committee on Student Organizations late yesterday. Among the reasons for the deferred action, was the con sideration as to whether the Valkyrie organization had enough activities to merit its existence, or whether it should be included with the rest of the societies in question. The meeting was called as the re sult of a Student Council meeting last week, when it was voted to abol ish Viking, Silver Serpent, Xi Delta, Iron Sphinx, Mystic Fish and Green Goblin honoraries, because of their inactivity and lack of purpose. The faculty meeting was to have given final judgment. New Report Valkyrie is a social organization of senior women. They also give a scholarship to the girl in the senior class who has the highest grades.

About fifty people attended. Mr. Stepanek spoke for the most part on his impressions of Russia which he acquired while visiting there. There is little distinction be tween Russian men and Russian wo men in labor problems, according to Mr. Stepanek. The women are re qired to do as much and the same type of work as the men. The Rus sians are a very sturdy people, al though they might appear -rather crude to us, he observed. One of the things which especially impressed Mr. Stepanek in Russia was the law enforcement. The offi cials there are always very active. Their prosecutions are very prompt. These people take a very keen in terest in art work. Thousands of people visit their museums each day.

"There is nothing more deadening than to know that on Monday you will have roast beef, on Tuesday vegetable soup, and so on through the week. always knowing that on a certain day you will have a certain menu. How often we hear people exclaim, 'Oh, I don't want to go home tonight. We are going to have corn beef and cabbage,' " said S. Louise Vining, di rector of the Temple Cafeteria.
