I —TIIE MANIAC I The Mac hall dining commons is a 1 scene of change. Mortar Board is planning faculty-student dinners to foster a closer relationship betwecu students and professors. This contact should result in better understanding between both parties which should strengthen co-operation in the class room. The women at each table" will have the opportunity to invite one' professor and his wife for Sunday dinner during the semester. The new cafeteria style breakfast, made possible by the recent install ation of u steam table, was a .change that was greatly appreciated by.the women as evidenced by the increasing number attending the meal. Mac hall now oqens a variety of breakfast foods. Each morning there is one hot cereal which is kept on the steam table, and several cold cereals. Hoi chocolate, coffee, and milk are offered at the meal as well as diff erent fruits and breads. '• There also has been a change in custom in the .dining commons. Men who are invited to dinner.no longer look -embarrassed and bewildered among so many women. It is not un usual to see dinner dates in Mac hall during the week-end. Letter Box board. Willi such a promise some boys come. It'isjhe job of every manager to provide from three to fif-. teen Jobs a year. lt> greatfnn to pull •jobs out or your hat! In'some cases die first assistants have gone so far as to feed these men out of their own [pockets because ihe college does not provide thorn the job tin- coach has promised. When a man is successful ami be comes a manager, what happens when lie faces the stark reality of having spent the best part of his sophomore and junior years in college and has received absolutely nothing in return? There is only one way to make any money and this is sometimes -done. The manager "pads" the expense tic count. Nearly til) do it. •Actually, the college authorities have forced ll;is on the manager. They receive recom pense in no other way. and who’ will deny that they should have some ma terial remunerntioa for their work? The managers even have'to tip oat of their own pockets on- tjie trip. They must, also pay out .of their own money, the cost of sending a. telegram buck to State College in order that students here might'.learn, whether or not State was victorious. It’s a great, system. Until this year managers were giv en complimentary tickets to'theSopli Hop, Junior Prom, and Senior Bail as a, squall /token of appreciation! jt wtjs - however.' thnt‘ the manager didtW deserve such'a tremendous profit, from* his labor. As a result, the dance com mittees have dropped the managers from the comp list of the Junior Prom anti Soph Hop. Steps should lie taken to improve this deplorable system. , . First, the college .should add one or two men to the staff in the supply room at Rec hall. At the present time, one fine elderly gentleman, and re cently an assistant who is to replace him, are trying to do the work of three i men. As a result, managers have .been * pressed into service there. I Second, the manngers'shonhl receive a salary. This should be scaled ac cording to whether the sport is si 1 major or minor sport, if. however, the 3 college feels the manager is not do- I serving of a salary, only spending at least three Hours a day. for three years in its behalf, it should provide him with, an incidental account from vyhich he could draw without, being forced to report every penny spent to the Athletic association and In so do ing. forcing him to become a crrtbk. This question, to m>* mind. Is a vital one. Let’s have some comment on it by college oflicials. students, and man agers. BOOTH WATMOUGH and his ORCHESTRA Featuring Charlotte, Jane, and.

Ritenour re ferred to in its edition of January 13. The Collegian was informed that the letter was critical of the College Health service, whereas the letter ■was rather cordial to it. • The Collegian also regrets that in its honest effort to improve the Col lege Health service it allowed .state ments seemingly detrimental to . Dr. Ritenour personally, although not in tentionally so, to,appear. The Colle gian wishes it understood that it is vigorously hopeful of attaining a bet ter Health service, butrthnt-it will in the future deal with the service as a whole and. not Ritenour personally, -who is embarrassed by Hie lack of certain, facilities.
