Crazy? Well, perhaps, yet there is one point
that is definitely trueodors that cows breathe are
main factors in the flavor of their milk. At a
recent demonstration held at ag college, a
cow was milked and the milk passed around to
the spectators.

f Juniors' and f Janes' pick milk,
vegetables for daily lunches
Remember away back when
mother used to beg and plead,
"Junior, won't you please eat your
vegetables?" or "Janie, please
drink your milk." Well, dispatches
from the high commands of the
Union cafeteria state that these
same "Juniors" and "Janes" have
been converted into ardent follow
ers of the popular vegetable and
milk movement.
Surprisingly enough, spinach
and carrots (remember them?)
are the co-leaders of the current
vegetable fad. It requires at least
two bushels of spinach each time
it is placed on the menu. No doubt
this accounts for the superabun
dance of healthy 4-H club winners
and Future Farmers seen fre
quently on the campus. t
What it all proves.
Then, too, this new fad goes to
prove several important things
about which psychologist's have
spent many sleepless nights:
Namely, that university students
are ardent followers of our be
loved Popeye; and, to put it in the
words of a distinguished English
professor, "Aw, carrots is cheaper,
and enyhow, ya gits more fer your
money."
Meats, according to the Union
chefs, are also very popular, but
only with the specials. Meat dishes
average about 15 cents including
salt while other foods are seldom
more than a thin dime. But with

The milk had a desirable odor and a pleasant
taste. A pail with ground garlic in the bottom

Odor of garlic.
Three minutes later, milk that came from the
cow had such a strong garlic odor that it could
easily be smelled about a foot from the nose.
This demonstration, along with the research
work carried n by Dr., Downs make it necessary
to change several published articles on the theory
that the food eaten by a cow determines the flavor
and odor.

First Senior Council in the" his

night for the first time at a kick
off dinner in the Union.
Featured speakers at the dinner
were Chancellor C. S. Boucher,
Ellsworth DuTeau, alumni secre
tary, and Norman Harris, student
promoted of the organization. "It
was an idea brilliantly conceived,"
stated Chancellor Boucher. "At
present we have an opportunity in
the administration to get faculty
reaction to our policies through
the Faculty Advisory committee.
The need now, is a student organl
zation to present student reaction,
and I think that the Senior Courif
cil should do just that."
Harris outlines growth.
Harris, in his talk, outlined the
growth of the idea of the council
from its origination at an unoffi

ers with Chancellor Boucher last
year to actual formation of the
council in the past fourmonths.
