Officials enjoy season of plenty
By Ted Taylor
Staff Reporter
Don’t ask Ron Burke to pass the
turkey this Thanksgiving. He’s not
having any.
The only meat that UNL’s director
of housing food service will taste
Thursday will be from a can of stew.
“My Thanksgiving meals will con
sist of a Sausage and Egg McMuffin,
Dinty Moore beef stew and macaroni
and cheese,” said Burke, whose fam
ily will be visiting relatives in Minne
sota.
“My wife picked up things she knew
1 couldn’t screw up,” said the man in
charge of feeding thousands of resi
dence hall students.
Other campus and local officials
will dine on more traditional fare.
Gov. Ben Nelson will host a group
of 30 family and friends at his man
sion Thursday, but he won’t spend the
day over a hot stove. Mansion chef
Henri Opp will do the dirty work.
Their meal will include homemade
whipped cream and a turkey donated
by the Nebraska Turkey Federation
and state poultry producers.
Nelson’s press secretary, Dara
Troutman, said the only variety of pie
to be served would be pumpkin, “so
he’d better like it.”
Association of Students of the Uni
“My wife ivill be doing all the cooking, though. I'm
not much of a cook, and she's very good with
turkey."
ROBERT ALLEN
NU Regent
versity of Nebraska President
Shawntell Hurtgen will have turkey,
of course, and ham in her hometown
of Sioux Falls, S.D. But the Hurtgen
table also will feature a few Syrian
dishes such as grape leaves wrapped
around rice and meat and a tabouli
salad.
“And there will be olives all over
the place,” she said. “You know how
fattening those are.”
Interim Chancellor Joan Leitzel will
serve turkey and traditional fixins’ to
relatives from Indiana and Ohio.
“Thanksgiving meals generally
aren’t too gourmet,” she said. “It won’t
be a big Betty Crocker thing.”
Although pumpkin pie will be one
of the choices available, Leitzel con
siders her apple pie to be the best.
Mayor Mike Johanns will travel to
Elkhart, Ind., to visit his mother-in
law.
“It’s just turkey with all the trim
mings,” he said (about the planned
meal, not his in-laws).
Will Johanns don an apron?
“Oh yes, I’ll do the carving.”
Speaking of kitchen masters, NU
Athletic Director Bill Byrne said he’s
done all the cooking at his house for
the past six years.
He plans to barbecue his bird in the
backyard Thursday to feed eight hun
gry people. In a bold move, Byrne wi 11
not offer his guests pumpkin pie.
“Cherry and lemon meringue pies,”
he said. “Nope, no pumpkin.”
NU Regent Robert Allen of
Hastings won’t follow Byrne’s ex
ample.
“My wife will be doing all the cook
ing, though,” he said. “I’m not much
of a cook, and she’s very good with
turkey.
“She’s a better cook than she real
izes, but, then again, most American
women are good cooks.”

picking them up. On those days,
Ekart would 1 ike people to put only
telephone books — not office pa
per — in the bins.
“We will recycle as many as we
can,” Ekart said.
