Thursday, October 3, 1918 THE DAILY IOWAN STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA PAGE PAGE THREE S.A.T.C. MEN DINE BOUNTIFULLY Soldiers Line On The Fat of the Land With Sugar, Butter, Wheat Flour 'n Everything. "Soupy, soupy, soup Without a single bean; Porky, porky pork Without a streak of lean; Coffee, coffee, coffee, The weakest ever seen." Such is the song which the bugler's [can't read] ringing over the campus at mess time, but "Really corn fed pork Along with lots of beans; Delicious smelly coffee Served with good rich cream." [can't read] the tune to which the 1800 hungry men of S.A.T.C. line up at the cafeteria in the basement of the men's gymnasium. Twenty-five bushels of potatoes, peeled by machinery and cooked by steam go into the steam heated containers. Two hundred seventy pounds of beans liberally saused with catchup or liberally bedecked with tempting strips of pork. Huge kettles of apricots and still others full of peas steam in readiness to be apportioned out in thick dishes to the soldiers. And nine hundred loaves of bread are sliced on to plates with cubes of iced butter. "But surely they won't eat all this at one meal," was asked of the steward in charge. "You watch 'em," came the promptand convincing response. In the storage rooms are butter and eggs and milk and turnips and carrots and onions, and in the meat rooms hang great quarters of beef and hams, good substantial cuts that would be the envy of any fraternity chef. On the tables in the mess hall sugar is heaped in bowls all out of harmony with the two-pound ration for civilians. Sometimes for breakfast cornflakes are followed by liver and bacon, they say; and they will tell you, too, that the men will continue to get good food throughout the year. Kitchen police, uniformed in blue and white stripes or all-white suits, fill the trays for the men as they come in shifts of 900 each, through the kitchen recently erected west of the Armory, into the mess hall proper in the basement of the building. When the meal is finished, the trays are returned to a conveyor where more uniformed attendants separate the spoons from the plates and send them in racks to the electric dishwasher which turns out 10,000 dishes in three hours. And all this in spite of the fact every detailed man never fails to remark to visitors: "I have to wash all these dishes when mess is over." P. B. Sivickis, medicine' 19, left yesterday for Washington, D. C., to accept a position with the committee on public information. He will be in the Lithuanian department. Claire Lynch, of Independence, [motored?] home yesterday afternoon after a week's visit at the Tri Delta [can't read] as Cedar Rapids by Miss Evans [House?]. She was accompanied as Evelyn Bracewell, And Ida Forbes Who Returned to Iowa City in the evening. Alveda Markle, L. A. 1917, has accepted a position as instructor in French. Ms. Markle did graduate work here last year. Lieut. Edward F. Rate, member of last year's Hawkeye staff has been assigned to duty at Knoxville. He was detained with Spanish influenza at Fort Sheridan where he received [can't read] commission. Donald Jacobs, Kappa Sigma, a former student, is in the University hospital as a result of an automobile accident which occurred near Davenport Sunday evening. James Hungerford, a former student in the University has returned from Austin, Tex., a graduate of the school of aviation. He was one of 17 out of 138 to pass. Brinton Knox is another graduate of this same section. Lieut. Roswell C. Puckett and Miss Catherine Creamer, former faculty member of the department of Home Economics were married September 14 at Osborne, Ohio. The groom is supervisor of aerial machine gun testing at Wright Field, Ohio and was graduated from the college of applied science in 1909. Kenneth G. Ellsworth, business manager of The Iowan for a part of last year is in the school for ensigns at unicipal Pier, Chicago. At the present time he is on the Lakes on the S. S. William E. Corey.
