A Favorite Meeting Place to Eat
In the heart of campus town at Iowa State, there's a popular eating spot for students, townspeople and, yes, folks who just stop by. Everyone comes in sooner or later :- the fellows from fraternity hill, a hungry, name footballer, and Joe and Betty on the evening date. Alumni, out-of- lowners on a visit, and tourists from the hi-way are also among the throng. Proudly, we say, our L-Way Cafe is a favorite meeting and eating place for all around the college. Next time you're in town, why don't YOU drop in for a bit of good food? You'll enjoy a real, college atmosphere.
