I
Menus, Soda-jerks' Hats,
China: All Tops for Union
By GENE ROSE and LARRY MEISER
This is the first of a series of
eight articles on operations of the
Erb Memorial Union. Next week’s
articles will describe the down
stairs recreational facilities.
Java, sirloin steaks, and hot
fudge sundaes will be among the
wide variety of foods offered in
the Erb Memorial Union when it
opens.
Such gustatorial services—
everything from a quick between
classes snack to a formal banquet
for 700 educational leaders—are a
major project of the Union.
Ruth Coffey, food supervisor for
the new Union, reported that
almost any fish or meat will be
available somewhere in the build
^ mg—at the soda fountain, or the
cafeteria, or for special banquets.
Offers Breakfast
Besides short orders and regular
fountain service the soda bar will
offer a complete menu of break
fasts. Its semi-circular, glassed-in
lounge facing University St. is ex
pected to be one of the most popu
lar features of the two million dol
lar structure.
Accomodating over 350 people
in two, three, or four occupancy
booths and tables, the fountain
lounge features the most modern
of designs and decors. The soda
jerks themselves will be wearing
specially designed Duck hats.
Cafeteria Service
A cafeteria near the fountain
will serve lunches and dinners. All
prices will be reasonable and some
what lower than in local restaur
ants, Miss Coffey hoped.
In addition to the fountain and
cafeteria, serving facilities include
three regular banquet rooms and
the main ball room on the second
floor. The ballroom can be equipped
to handle service for 700 people.
Food Via Elevator
Food for banquets on the second
floor will be brought to an adjacent
preparations room from the first
floor kitchen by the elevator.
Five rooms where students can
eat cafeteria lunches and hold
meetings are also on the first floor.
These are open to all campus or
^ ganizations.
Speakers Listed
For Graduations
In addition to ability and train
ing, today’s job applicant must
have a good personality and plenty
of initiative.
This was the consensus of opin
ion of the speakers at the Women’s
Business Conference, sponsored
here Tuesday by Phi Chi Theta,
national women’s business honor
ary.
Approximately 50 persons at
tended the conference and 40 were
present' at the dinner held at the
Anchorage.
Miss Betty Robb, speaking on
“Buying as a Profession,” and Mrs.
Vera Berney, speaking on “Wo
men in Personnel Work,” pointed
out that women interested in buy
ing and personnel work should
realize that they must start in at
the bottom and work their way up.
Miss Robb stated that selling ex
perience was a prerequisite for a
buyer’s position.
Miss Hilda W. Freed, speaking
on “Accounting and Related
Fields,” stated that applicants for
accounting and secretarial fields
wrould find responsible positions,
but that a great deal of experience
in these fields was necessary to
V obtain the better jobs.
Students bringing their own
packaged lunches may store them
in ventilated lockers.
“Show Place of NW”
“Show kitchen of the North
west’’ is the term Miss Coffey uses
to describe the gleaming, ultra
modern kitchen in the Union. It
will contain the latest in culinary
equipment so that service will be
as efficient as possible, Miss Cof
fey boasted.
Nowhere in the Union has any
economizing been done at the ex
pense of service or utility. The best
was sought, Miss Coffey reported.
Even the china is an exclusive de
sign done in school colors.
Miss Coffey reports that hours
of food service have not yet been
set but will be arranged to fit stu
dents’ requirements. The building
itself will be open seven days a
week.
Any student suggestions for im
proving the food department have
been called for by Miss Coffey.

Vodvil Eliminators
Avert Chaos Tuesday
Chaos was narrowly averted for
the All-Campus Vodvil eliminations
Tuesday night.
It was learned at 5:45 that Ger
linger Annex was without lights
because the grading contractor for
the library addition had cut
through the electrical cable sup
lying the building.
Tryouts had been scheduled for
6:30 p. m. at the annex.
Thanks to the quick thinking of
Olga Yevtich, assistant to the di
rector of the Student Union, a bat
tery of freshman telephoning val
unteers, and Stage Manager Mary
Hall, the tryouts were switched
to McArthur Court.

Do You Know
when
During the war we knew enough to
mistrust rumors and particularly
knew how dangerous it was to
spread them. We knew then that
rumors affected our unity, and
Unity was vital to winning the war.
But perhaps we don’t know that
rumors are just as dangerous today
as they were during the war.
Because — rumors about other
groups, other religions and other
races always threaten our national
unity—without which we cannot
hope to survive.
Be an active citizen—help keep
your country strong, united and
secure—a good place in which men
can live together, prosper together
and pursue happiness together.
Make sure that you are not spread
ing rumors against a race or reli
gion. Speak up, wherever you are,
against prejudice, and work for
better understanding. Remember
that’s being a good American.
Accept or reject
people on their
individual worth
