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.

money wisely on the whole, while
women and older people are in

women explained. They told of one
co-ed who invariably ordered two
desserts. 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.
