Norwegians reminds us that part of
this issue is being devoted to an exposition (or shall we say expose?)
of Norwegian customs. Norwegians,
you know, are extremely proud of
their nationality. As Mary Ann
Hotvedt says, ''I'm proud of all the
Norwegians, even those who went to
Sicily and came back to Chicago a
few centuries later as gangsters."

Pfc. Jay Swett is in Italy and reports having seen Roy Arndt for a
few hours. Their conversation was
mostly about the good old U.S.A.,
and CSTC in particular.
Pfc. Bob Shorey, who is in China,
says that the thing he misses most
(outside of women) is milk. "Boy,
could I go for a nice cold fresh quart
of milk," he writes. "The cows over

live better than the people do. If one
decided to live in a house, I think
the people would make it nice and

CSTC Eat Shop Is
Refuge for Many
Where do you go on those rare
occasions when the teacher dismisses class ten minutes early?
Where do you go when you don't
( and sometimes when you do) have
an assignment to prepare for the
.. next period? And where do you go
in the middle of the morning or
afternoon when that empty feeling
in your internal anatomy becomes
acute? Why, that's easy, the College
Eat Shop, of course!
At ant hour of the day, students
can be found there, playing bridge
in the back room, doing cross-word
puzzles or studying in the boot4s, or
just talking at the counter. Professors go over for a quick coffee or
coke. ,It's a busy and friendly place
for everyone-old and young.
Genial host and hostess of this
modern Coffee House are Andy and
Eva. They like the students of CSTC
and find them both courteous and
cqnsiderate. Andy thinks this consideration is proved by the fact that no
articles have been taken as souvenirs.
Not only do Andy and Eva enjoy
the students, but the students have
shown by their attitude that they
enjoy the Eat Shop, too.
Always tell the truthunless you are an exceptionally
clever liar!

Norwegians Love Food
Don't We All?
Norwegians love to eat and in
that way they are very like Americans. The women bake for weeks
before the holidays, especially before Christmas.
Some of the food such as lutefisk, a type of fish, and lefsa, which
is a combination of mashed potatoes,
flour and salt rolled thin and baked,
are not, as a rule, enjoyed by Americans. Other common foods are flat
brod and mattig man bakkels.
Nearly every Norwegian home
has its food storage house called
stabur. This is usually a picturesque
building with carvings under the
eves. It is on stilts to keep the mice
out. (As though there are mice in
Norway!) Flat brod and salted fish
are often piled as high as the ceiling.
For weeks before Christmas there
is great activity of baking, cleaning
and preparing enough food for the
twelve days of the Christmas season.
It is the custom not to do any work
that is not absolutely necessary during this time.
In the fall, the very best sheaths

of grain are put aside and on Christmas Eve they are hung on the roofs,
so that the birds, also, may have a
feast. The young people then go out
caroling much as Americans do, except that they wear masks.
The 14th of April is the official
Norwegian moving day. There is
very little moving done at other
times of the year. When workers
are hired, they are hired from April
14th of one year to April 14th of the
next.
·
In June is Mid Summer's Eve and
June 21 is a night of great celebration. It doesn't get dark, so there is
dancing and feasting on the green all
night long.
Being human is rather tough, true:
but being a woman is still worse.
