Wade Hampb Is Campus G4 Where 150 C By JANE DOWE Wade Hampton cafeteria ranks I in first place at the gossip spotil of the campus, for that is where each day 150 co-eds meet to eat and "discuss." The cafeteria is in the basement of Wade Hampton women's dor mitory. It is run on a meal ticket rather than a cash basis, and tic kets can be bought only by women students. The price of these tickets for a full month are $35 and is less during the shorter months when there are holidays. Mrs. Dorothy Coleman, who is an efficient little lady with red hair and a desire to have her girls well satisfied, has operated the cafeteria since the fall of 1943. This is her first full-time cafeteria work, although she has been dieti- 3 tian at recreational camps during the summer for several years. Because of the promptness and efficiency of these employed, Mrs. Coleman says the Negro help in cludes only one man and six wom en. Jessie, the head cook, has the record of not having been absent during the six years that he has been employedi. The rest of the kitchen staff has an excellent rec ord, and four of the six have not c been absent this year.. Thirteen USC students are also i employed by the cafeteria. They t include six co-eds who are respon sible for serving and seven men I students who act as handy men and assist in the kitchen. Their i aid, Mrs. Coleman says, has been i responsible for the fact that the , kitchen staff can be so small. The cafeteria handles no more U than 150 co-eds, and its popular- c ity is shown by the line which is - waiting in front of the treasurer's V office on the days when meallf tickets are sold. "The food is as1 nearly like home cooking as food can be away from home. It is attractively served, and there are Burnett's Drug Store Corner Main and College Only one Block From The Campus FOR DELIVERY PHONE 3191 ! . it COOBURN The Business Men Choice at A Quality ant Originat< Try One of Our D And You'll Be I 1317 SUM' Next Door to th of San Fi Famous 4 Come to C Exclus * * LJSBE TH 1643 MAIN yn Cafeteria :>ssip Spot oeds Dine econd helpings on almost every hing. And it is so convenient and ess expensive." These are the vords of those who eat there. As well as serving co-eds, Mrs. ,oleman serves dinners for the rustees at their regular meetings. ,ach year she serves five or six arge banquets either in the cafe eria or in Sims lobby. Recent ban juets included those given for an ual meetings of the deans of vomen, the Historical association nd the Engineering society. The cafeteria has undergone a eauty treatment recently, which neluded walls painted a delicate ink, new venetian blinds, and a ew large fan, which, Mrs. Cole ian says, makes the cafeteria the oolest part of the building. Last ear 25 four-person-size tables re laced the larger tables that were urmerly used. The kitchen is supplied with iodern equipment and labor sav iig devices as well as the most iodern sterilization equipment. All f the kitchen help are required to ave health cards. Mrs. Coleman has one request > make of the co-eds. She asks hat they remember, when they ex ect to be given breakfast after losing time in the morning, that he and the rest of the staff have een up for two hours and that hey still have two meals to plan, repare, and serve. Co-eds should arn the hours when the cafeteria ; open and try to follow them. [owever. Mrs. Coleman sees that o one who is a little late with a -gitimate reason goes hungry. Asked what seems to be the fav rite dish of the Wade Hampton o-eds, Mrs. Coleman answered, steak." Perhaps that explains rhy sttak and "french fries" are -equently on the menu, for Mrs. oleman wishes to maintain the calth and happi-ness of those ho eat in the non-profit Wade [ampton cafeteria.

Mrs. Gunter was the first co-ed to graduate from the university after completing four years of study. Women were first allowed to enter college in 1894, and she en rolled two years later. There were between 12 and 15 women enrolled, most of whom were Columbia resi dents, for no living quarters on the campus were provided for the co eds. Although women were admitted to any course for which they were found to be qualified, most of them studied pedagogics, better known today as education. However, they attended scentific and other re quired classes with the men stu dents, and their grades compared favorably with those of the men, Mrs. Gunter said. This, she said, was because the women were in college only for the purpose of studying and were pioneers in the university world. Mrs. Gunter said that she no ticed many differences between then and now. Women were only tolerated on the campus, and they were asked to leave if they mis behaved. No flirtations were per mitted. Co-eds did not wear fine clothes, but dressed very plainly. They did not wear make-up and did not smoke. No clubs or campus entertainment was provided for them, for they were expected to leave the campus when they had completed their classes. It had not lost its reputation as a boys' Col lege. After Mrs. Gunter was grad uated, she taught school until 1904, when she was married. She lived in various parts of the state, in eluding Rock Hill and Greenville. After her husband's death in 1927, she returned to Columbia and to the university, where she worked at the South Caroliniana library until 1941. When McKissick Library was opened, she became a member of its staff. Eight years later she is still seen daily at the eirrulation desk and is one of the best-known and best-liked members of the uni versity's administrative staff.
