For years the men students have
watched the co-eds enroll in courses
previously monopolized hy men, where
they prepare for Professional careers
as farm managers, chemists, arcfi-
tects, lawyers. doclors and even en-
gineers. While the men lave admired
the grit of the weaker sex representa-
tiyes in undertaking such great tasks,
the male element has called for a show
down and is going over to the womans
side of the campus. They have re-
quested that some sort of course In
cooking be given for men The home
economics department has come to
their rescue and such instruction will
be given starting February J.
The course will be known as do
nestle Science 53-Cookery for Men,
and includes, technically speaking, "a
study of the nutrtive value, selection
and preparation of simple foods with
special emphasis upon those suitable
for camping"
That camping "eats" feature is the
one or which the men base their fond
est hopes for getting away with don
ming the apron and chefs cap in the
eyes of the goods. The forestry and
