A couple or so of weeks ago there was that story about how much sorority pledges ate during rush week, and now here are statistics on eating at Sims College canteen. Those girls really put the food away, tool These figures aren't accurate. to the nth degree (but whose could be when they eat so much?!) Any way, here's what inquiries show: Six cases of empty Coca-cola bot tIes at the end of each day are sure evidence of the consummation of 144 "dopes". But that's not all the liquids by a long shot; there are 48 bottles of milk, 48 chocolate milks, 24 tomato juices, 24 pine apple juices, besides about 20 or 30 other soft drinks: grapes, ginger ales, strawberries. That's a total of 313 drinks or 1,787 fluid ounces, equivalent to 156Y lbs. And now as for the solids, sand wiches take the lead with about 100 per day. Crackers come in a close second and potato chips nab a nice third. The between-meal favorite is just any kind of a candy bar, and those penny peppermints don't make a bad showing at all. Of course, the town girls come over and help the "dormers" eat these tons of food, but just the same, it's still a lot of eating ma terial. They'd save a lot of money if they didn't have to eat,-but, Golly, it's a nice pastime. No charge for this canteen ad.
