OPENING A Recipes Exactly What Do Hamsters Drink? From the kitchen of Mrs. Graves H. Thompson Thirtyffive years ago everyone on the campus served coffee punch. Since my husband was not a coffee drinker I asked, lf coffee punch is so good, why wouldn't chocolate punch be better? So I devised the following recipe: Ingredients 92 gallon chocolate ice cream 1 can Hershey's ' chocolate syrup Whole milk Ginger ale Procedure Place W gallon chocolate ice cream in a glass gallon jar Pour in I can Hershey's ' chocolate syrup Fill the jar with milk Let stand in the ice box 8f1O hours At sewing time, put W gallon of vanilla ice cream in punch bowl and pour the mixture over this. The ice cream serves to keep the punch cool in the same way an ice ring cools fruit punch. Add 1 pint ginger ale to each gallon of punch. Yield for one gallon: 20 cups. CI usually make three or four gallons for Eta Sigma Phi functions and at least six for larger student groupsj As you add additional gallons, continue to add the ginger ale.

Use whole milk rather than lowffat, regular ice cream rather than ice milk, l-Iershey's f syrup rather than any iainitation, and a good brand of ginger e. From the kitchen of Mrs. Lewis H. Drew Reese'sM Peanut Butter Cookies Grease tiny muffin tins. Slice a roll of peanut butter refrigerator cookie dough into W' slices. Cut each slice into quarters and put I piece into each muffin cup fno need to shape or pressj. Bake according to package directions.

Forgotten Cookies Beat 2 egg whites until stiff and beat in ZX3 cup of sugar and 1 tsp. vanilla. Fold in 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1 cup of chopped nuts. Drop cookies on Teflonm cookie sheet. Oven should be preheated to 3500.

Right before the water boils add a little bit of cooking oil flike Wessonl. Once the water boils add the noodles. When the noodles are finally submerged add the seasoning powder fsoup mixj. Boil for a couple of minutes. Add chopsticks and then eat heartily in front of the tube completely blowin off any work you may have had. D Important: do not break noodles up. v g immediately. Leave them in the oven overnight or at least 4 hours. Do not open the oven door. When l make these, I double the recipe and use the oven racks which I cover with foil instead of cookie tins.

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.

A hot-plate is perfect for macaroni-and-cheese and brunswick stew.

l 985 KALEIDOSCOPE Coeducation at Hampden-Sydney Dr. Heinemann Examines the Issue 'Men of Dartmouth, set a watch, lest the old traditions fail! Stand as brother stands by brother! Dare a deed for the old Mother! So the second verse of my college's alma mater, reflecting a two-centuries old commitment to male segrega- tion. So much for old traditions! Alumni gagged and wept over the conversion to coed- ucation, convinced that some- thing very dear had been lost-a special bond between students and college that many believed was created by the absence of females. ln actuality, that bond was the product of a shared experience-the place, the education, the friendships- something which had very lit- tle to do with sexual segrega- tion and which remains vital today. Dartmouth has not languishedg nor have any of the prestigious institutions of the land which made the change over the past fifteen years. Now in 1985 Hampden- Sydney and Wabash remain the only non-military, non- sectarian colleges to cling to all-maleness. Why? What is peculiar about them that they would rather fight than switch? Defenders of single sex institutions usually men- tion the importance of tradi- tion and uniqueness, the availability of an alternative, the distractions of coeduca- tion, a more relaxed atmos- phere fa euphemism for the right to be slovenlyj, and male camaraderie-all of which may have merit but none of which addresses the essential purposes of educa- tion-personal growth and pre- paration for life. Tradition, no matter how old, is good only as long as it serves the present and enhances the educational process. Similarly, options are desirable if they serve a pur- Dr. Heinemann pose, but single sex institu- tions satisfy no special educa- tional function funless one is preparing for the priesthoodj and they inhibit the socializa- tion process. What is the logic behind educating men and women separately? Once that was considered the social and educational norm because of the supposed inferiority of the weaker sexy most of America's institutions of higher learning adhered to that belief. That is no longer the case. The role of women in our society has changed dramatically, and most col- leges have recognized this fact. This was not change for the sake of change. It was an acknowledgement of a major revolution having taken place in social mores and sexual relationships, something which Hampden-Sydney has refused to accept. Today, the exclusivity of the all-male school implies to the world and to its own students that women are not good enough for the intellectual life, a blat- antly bigoted position. There is no social, pedagogical, or logical reason for continuing this discrimination, while, on the other hand, there is every reason to argue that coeduca- tion provides a superior cli- mate in which to prepare young people for the world beyond ivied walls. Women add a different dimension to college life. Through the roles they fill, the treatment they receive, and their femininity, they have a different experience, a different perspective that men need to be aware of and understanding of, an aware- ness that cannot fully develop when women are excluded from academic pursuits and contacted only in social set-
