Food continued Faculty chefs share their hit recipes FOOD FOR THOUGHT by Angie Steffen Harland Hoffman, English department chairman HARLAND - Necessity got me interested in ■ ■ cooking, said Harland Hoff- man, head of the KSC English Department. Hoffman credits his mother with teaching him to cook; he never at- tended any special classes or schools to obtain his cooking ability, yet his love for cooking has always remained a special hobby. Hoffman claims his favorite style of cooking is country cooking or any dish that takes a minimum of time to pre- pare. Hoffman likes to experiment with recipes. Almost everytime it will be dif- ferent, he said. Changes may be made in sauces or gravies every time he cooks. Vegetables HOFFMAN for instance are something that this chef likes to make in a variety of ways. Pot roast with a covering of pota- toes, celery, onions and gravy with per- haps baked potatoes and a special recipe for cole slaw is the most request- ed meal when guests are being enter- tained in the Hoffman household. Gourmet cooking is good food,” according to Hoffman. Even though Hoffman loves to experiment, he does not particularly care for cookbooks with exotic food recipes. Hoffman particularly likes Italian dishes. His favorite dish is called Ameri- can baked spaghetti.

SSUES Growing interest in women’s issues sparks symposium by Paula Geis Issues crucial to understanding A women’s issues symposium held in September was referred to by President William Nester as being crucial to men and women in the under- standing of men’s and women’s roles in America. “Women’s studies have assumed a legitimate role in the universities of the ’70’s and ’80’s” Nester said. “They will provide insights into women’s issues which can only enrich our studies of the human experience. “Women’s studies have everything to do with the humanities of the human experience,” he said. The symposium, “Women’s Work and Women’s Lives: Dialogue of Change,” was coordinated by Betty Becker- Theye, dean of Fine Arts and Humani- ties, and by Kathryn Benzel, English in- structor. Becker-Theye and Benzel said they hoped this gathering would generate a dialogue that would enrich perceptions of sexual equality. The program presented some of the feminist concerns and interests that confront women today. The conference covered topics such as women involved in journalism, the power and progress of women in the workforce, feminism and women’s legal rights, the reinterpretation of American women, and preparing women for car- eers. Other presentations included a slide show and performances by various ar- tists. Becker-Theye and Benzel said they want this mini-symposium to grow to a large women’s issues symposium. “We eventually want to hold women’s issues conferences. This symposium was held so we could get a feel for the interest in the topic of women’s issues.” Kate Benzel, co-coordinator of the symposium, wants people to know that there is a real interest in women’s issues on the campus. 16
