The n read on ..., This article is, written, to aid those mal-adjusted students who arc embarrassed by thf.r own lack of eating manners. To aid them overcome dinner time faux pas, I have throughly covered koine 'of the niostr glaring errors and will attempt to give some small aids in dining etiquette. The correct attlire at Sbisa is a fundamental requirement to eating grace. The evening meal requires more formal attire of the diner than* the o.uer trio periods. There the keynote is upon fashion. White “T” shirts are extremely natty but are not to be recommended for the novice. Their color clashes with the bits of discarded food or bever age that chances to fail upon them. Levis prove to be highly satis factory due to their durability •’ and because of their absorbant qualities which facilitates the wiping of the hands after com pletion of the meal. Good manners should begin as soon as you enter the lines out side the mess hall. Be courteous to your fellow students at all times thpre. If one in front of you has the misfortune to fail because ,of your pushing, attempt to step over > him; Also consideration may be ■shown by passing the word back along the line so that others, fore warned, will not stand upon the prostrate one longer than neces sary. Control yourself as you pass along the serving counter, l( the attendant insists upon depositing your icq cream in the gravy, do not give vent to your anger. Mere ly shrug it off with a “Cest La Sbisa” which is Fionch for “It’s all mixed up in your stomach any way.” - \ Time does not permit a detail ed instruction upon the proper use of your eating utensifs. ever, you may tare well ing about and observing ver manipulations of around you.
