U Featuring ThU Weeki (I MICKEY KULL P Call In Your Retenwtion l Phone 3-8673 Use Want Ads ADVERTISEMENT DON'T CRY This is your sad-sack reporter again crying out another tale of sorrow. One of my fraternity brothers beat me out of a date with a cute Tri-Delt, and I was feeling kinda low. So I rambled over to King's at 19th & "O" to meet some of the gang; then it happened. I started talking to one of the cooks in the kitchen, and get this he was cutting onions. After I got done crying, I sat down with a pencil and pad of paper to prove a point to this cook. By the time I got done it looked like an advanced cal culus lesson, but I'll try and tell you about it anyway. It went something like this: King's three Drive-in's are famous for their Ffench-fried onions. Now, they serve six onion rings per order. They get these six onion rings out of one onion; there are about four onions per pound ( what they do with the middle of the onions is another story). There are fifty orders of rings to a box, and King's sell about fifty boxes of rings on the average Satur day and Sunday. Now comes the calculations!! Each ring is a little over two inches in diam eter. I got a dueee in Math 14, but I can still tell you that this is one foot of onions per order. Now, two of the King's Drive In's average 150 boxes of rings per week. Using Analyt, Calc, and Trig, they tell me this is 30,000 feet of rings per month, or 1,000 feet of onions per dag if someone were to put them into a chain. My height of glory came when I proved to this amazed cook that on a Football Saturday, King's serves enough onion rings that, if made into a ring, would completely encircle the football field. For you book worms, that's 440 yards, or 1320 feet. After all that mental strain, I was hungry, so we sat down and enjoyed some of the rings we were experimenting on. That's what happened that night which reminds me of another story . . , Aw, let's skip it for now. It's coffee time again. See you at King's.
