Venerable is leaving the Alpha Tau Omega house this
May.
She said she plans to sell her house and move to Las
Vegas to stay with her son and work.
"I'M find a job. I've got a good recommendation from
this place," she said.
She said she plans to go to Lis Vegas over spring break
to "line up something for the fall," but a lot depends on
whether she can sell her house.
Over the years Venerable has worked at several UNL
Greek houses. She worked for the Sigma Alpha Mu, the
Alpha Delta Pi and the Sigma Nu houses, before coming
to the ATO house in 1962.
She said she prefers cooking in the houses because "it's
just like a home, only in bigger quantities."
"In restaurants, you have to cook for too many
people," Venerable said. "That's why I don't cook in a
dorm," she said.
Cooking for a fraternity has its drawbacks, though.
Venerable said. Most of the house members treat her
well, but there are some bad times, she said.
"Usually when you buy a bushel of apples you get one
or two bad ones," she said. "I try to treat them (fraternity
members ) all the same."
She said she has had some trouble, and over the years
she's "taken a lot," but she has her own method of solv
ing the problem .
"1 just don't say anything," she said. "I just go ahead
on."
"You get to thinking about the ones that are nice and
not about the ones that are bad," she said.
She said that the troubles she's had have nothing to do
continues.

with her quitting now, but that she just needs a change of
scenery. Alter her husband died last Septeinhei, she said,
there were "too many memories."
As a hobby. Venerable says she plays Bingo. She said
she doesn't play as. much now and has never won any
"real big money." She said the most she's ever won was
$500 or $600 in one nighl.
"There's nothing in Lincoln to do unless you go to
work or church," she said.
While she's at work. Venerable said, she enjoys
watching her two favorite afternoon soap operas while
men on kitchen duty wash the dishes. In the 1 8 years she
luis worked there, she said the house members have
bought her two television sets.
The house also provides her with her own phone for
ordering food each week.
Venerable said her job has changed over the years.
When she first started cooking she had a helper, but she
says she prefers cooking alone.
"I was doing it all anyway." she said. "It's hard to find
a good second."
Now she works from about 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. and
prepares two meals a day. Five years ago she said she was
preparing breakfast as well as lunch and dinner.
She said she thinks she is a good cook.
"These boys think so anyway," she said, adding that it
will be hard for the house to replace her.
John Parker, a UNL. senior majoring in geology, agreed.
Me said a committee was forming in the house to look for
a new cook.
"She's the best," he said. "She knows us better than
anybody."
