6 OregonStater.org JOE MCKENDRY I was a student at OSU from 1967 to 1971 in the School of Education, and my mother was a cook at the MU and later at the “O” Club. While cooking at the MU, she introduced one of our favorite desserts from home, sticky rolls. It was cool to me that a best memory of OSU [shared in the feature “On the Tip of Your Tongue”] was my mother’s sticky rolls. —LYLE BEARD, ’ 7 1 The Winter edition of the Oregon Stater is exceptionally well done!! Thanks for doing such a good job. It’s colorful, informative and creative, with an excellent layout. And best wishes in the days ahead. —S. ROGER FRICHETTE, PH.D. ’76 Great articles on the food options, but you forgot one major option: Sunday morning breakfast at the Peacock — $.99 for ham and eggs or $1.65 for steak and eggs. Beer was extra. —JEFF KOLBERG, ’ 73 The Winter 2026 issue of the Stater brings back memories of my first two years (’64 and ’65) at Poling Hall, where we would go over to Food Tech and buy several gallon jugs of fresh apple cider and bring them back to our rooms. Using our Chem Cards, we would get stoppers and tubing and then buy yeast at a grocery store. Putting it all together made hard cider. Party on after two weeks. —BOB WILD, ’69 Three items in the Winter Oregon Stater [the Emily Darchuk profile, OSU Research Brewery story and Dave Cho online video] promote the use or production of alcoholic beverages. In fact, it’s becoming well known that alcohol is harmful to the human body. Although products containing alcohol are not yet labeled the way tobacco products are, I object to state support of alcohol production and use. —MICHAEL POWERS SECOND HELPINGS Readers couldn’t get enough of our exploration of the many ways Oregon State shapes what ends up on our plates. The feature was the Winter issue’s most-viewed story online. If you’re itching to try the recipes mentioned in the magazine — from MU Sticky Rolls to Wheyward’s Spirited Beaver to David L. G. Noakes’ Spice Cookies — you can find them all online at OregonStater.org/tag/recipes. L E T T E R S
