'Sane Meals Replaced by Amino Acid
Research Diets for Twelve Students
By Nancy Whitford
We ate our last "sane"
meal at Sunday dinner eight
days ago.
The cook had prepared de
licious servings of fried chick
en and mashed potatoes;
broccoli with cheese .sauce;
molded salad; home-made
rolls; vanilla ice cream with
chocolate syrup ...
Since then, what had begun
as an amino acid research
for 12 hesitant students, has
turned into an hilarious se
ries of expense paid meals,
j Atmosphere, in this case
Valentine decor and constant
verbal free-for-alls, may be
the key to making monoton
ous meals pleasant, believes
Dr. Hazel Fox, associate pro
fessor of home economics in
charge of the experiment.
Party Atmosphere ,
"The food wouldn't be near
ly so easy to eat if it weren't
for the party we have at each
meal' commented Judy
Smith, a junior majoring in
English.
'It's fun, fun, fun," quipped
Nina Herndon, a senior In
chemistry and foods and nu
trition. The diet, which seeks to de
termine body requirements
for certain amino a c i d s, the
vital components of protein
includes such things as:
Breakfast: a pint of amino
acids, a beaker of corn meal,
four mineral wafers, apple
auce, butter, jelly, sugar
and coffee;
Lunch t a pint of amino
acids, a beaker of corn meal,

Participating in the home ec sponsored
aminio acid diet, the students pictured

tions, ' including corn-meal served in
beakers. A festive touch was added to the
Valentine's Day meal, as the participants
were allowed red and white mints.

A touch of variety was
added to the menu Tuesday
with red and white mints to
celebrate the Valentine occa
sion.
"I've eaten better meals be
fore," observed D o r a 1 y n
btemer, a junior in Teachers
College. "But this is an ideal
way for fun and science to
come together," noted Suna
Goksu, a graduate student
from Turkey who is studying
iood and nutrition.
In addition to contributing
to a knowledge of body needs,
Dr. Fox believes the study
will determine the availabil
ity of amino acids in corn.
'This will enable us to help
people who live in areas de
pendant largely on a cereal
rather than a meat protein
diet," said. Dr. Fox.
Other students participat
ing in the project are Hu
bert Tolman, graduate stu
dent doing research in poul
try; Ralph Tolman, sopho

ism; Joan Goings, freshman
in English;
Peggy Merica, junior in
Business Administration;
Nancy Whitford, sophomore
m journalism; Gladys Svec,
graduate student in food and
nutrition and Carolyn Gries
se, sophomore in vocational
education.

To NU Coed as Leader

the importance of the Nebras

to the house's to show and put
ting on Fashion Shows the
Hovland Swanson Board has
the important job of keeping
the store supplied with infor
