By Mary Ellen Sim. Nebraska men who buy their meals in the Union cafeteria or from boarding clubs have good food habits according to a food choice survey made recently by Rose Marie Kotas and Dorothy White, home economics and nutri tion students. Food choices in the Union cafeteria and in the board ing club houses were observed and recorded. The survey was made under the direction of " Ruth Level ton. asso ciate professor of nutrition and head of human nutritional research on ag campus. A more detailed check was taken of the boarding club food especially with, regard to vegetables and salads. The studv chiefly concerned bread and beverages. However, the two investigators observed other food, and compiled some interest ing statistics. "Men students spend their food money wisely on the whole, while women and older people are in clined to favor desserts," the two 1 1 Surveyor i " ! .. .. . i ' . . w ip f I 1 - J Saatat t iW IV' Lincoln Journsl.

A larger percentage of men than women took advantage of the special dinners offered in the Union cafeteria. This fact probably accounts for the superior diet of men, according to the re search workers. Results of the study are as fol lows: 1. White rolls are favored by 3!) percent when there is a choice of white rolls, wheat bread, white bread and rye bread. 2. Whole wheat bread had only a two percent lead over white bread. 3. 72 percent chose milk, 11 per cent coffee, 13 percent ice tea, and one percent hot tea. Coffee Popular. 4. 5" percent of the total coffee consumed during the day was drunk at breakfast. Cotfee was least popular at lunch but was used more at dinner. The 12 board ing clubs contacted (mostly men's) were 100 percent in ignoring cof fee at both lunch and dinner time. 5. When a choice was to be made between salads and vegetables, the salads were chosen 21 percent more times. Tomato salads disap peared more quickly than any other. The much talked of spring salad and plain lettuce salad were lowest in popularity. Single fruit salads were more popular than the mixed type. 6. Beans, corn, and peas were the favored vegetables. 7. Sixty-five percent of break fast eaters in the Union cafeteria eat cereal and 65 percent of these cereals were hot, wnole-g rained cerials. Thirteen candidates for licenses in pharmacy are taking the first of the semiannual examinations given by the Nebraska state de partment of health beginning yes terday and continuing thru tomorrow. The exam, which is being given in the pharmacy building, must be j taken by every student graduat- ing from the college of pharmacy ; who wishes to be registered with ; the state as a pharmacist. j Similar tests have been given since 1884 and have been a re quirement for state registration for pharmacists since that time. This procedure is in contrast to that of the medical profession, whose members, until 1904. were allowed to register with the state on their diplomas or on the rec ommendation of their instructors. This year's board of examiners is composed of Claude Saults of Gordan and Robert Kirkman of Wayne, both former graduates of the college, and Frank Norris of Omaha. Ill . "Heads Up!"
