OPENING The Care and Feeding of Hamsters For most of us, the most important aspect of our care is the feeding, so Kaleido- scope offers this summary of campus cooking-eating out and eating in. Remember Mom's last words before we left school: Eat well, after all, you are what you eat! That sounded like good advice at the time, but boy has she got me worried. If there is any truth in that adage, we students at Hampden-Sydney are in for some real trouble. Something tells me that most of us shudder at the thought of waking up to find ourselves transformed into veal patties faffectionately known as 'Ele- phant Scabs'J, ever-popular noodles with butter, or meat- loaf, yet we continue to eat in the Commons because, like all Hampden-Sydney men, we hold fast to tradition. At least We try to! On occasion fand sometimes more often than thatj We venture into the bust- ling metropolis of Farmville, to frequent our favorite chow lCFf0m iff!! A Com Diner, Rfs Deli Eating ln and Eating Out houses and soothe our savage appetites. As tradition would have it, Walker's Diner is our favor- ite spot for lunch, as rarely are we up in time for break- fast fexcept during exam weekj. Walker's and Hampden-Sydney men go back quite a ways. Friendly folks, fast service, and that fif- ties atrnosphere keep us com- ing back. Walker's has pretty much cornered the market on after- noon cuisine, but when dinner time rolls around, the options abound. lf home- cooking is your pleasure, we can head to any number of places: The Fox Hunt inn Call-you-can-eat spaghetti on Thursdaysll, Cedar Brook fif you like cocktails before dinnerj, or the Steer. If we crave Chinese-American fwith heavy emphasis on Americanj, we can dine at the Royal Garden. The Golden Corral serves a humdinger of a steak, and the Heritage House has almost everything. And lest we forget, when Mom and Dad are here for Parent's Weekend, the Weyanoke for dinner is a must. Finally, last but cer- tainly not least, those old stand-bys exist even in Farm- ville: Rj's Garden Deli, Ken- tucky Fried Chicken fto goj, Sunny's Cafe fawesome shakes and criss-cut friesj, muzfr, mons meal, W'allcer's

Now who ever said that Farmvillians don't know how to eat? At least we have var- iety. And how many places do you know of with a Per- ini's Dancing Restaurant? Mom and Dad said we could learn a lot in college-and boy have we learned the value of a home-cooked mwl. Thanks, Mom! The illegal, but useful, toaster oven For many of us, eating remains a more personal event. Under the nose of BSLG and Dean Schill, there are numbers of legal, and not-so-legal, appliances. Refrigerators are legal and are handy for keeping a few beers cold, maybe a pint of milk, and moldy, but shavp, ched- dar cheese. Popcorn poppers are legal as well, and more than one enterprising Hampden-Sydney student has been spotted using a corn popper to fry eggs. Among the more popular illegal appliances are the one or two burner hot-plate and 1985 KALEIDOSCOPE The Farrrwille McDonald's: worlds slowest the always useful toaster oven. lf you've got either of these, then the possibilities for creative food are endless. Some of us have been enter- prising enough to cook whole chickens in a toaster-oven fperfect for that before- formal romantic dinnerlj. A hot-plate is perfect for macaroni-and-cheese and brunswick stew.
