Sarith;iiich Shop
The plan fo r • allowing independent men stud.
cuts to eat in th e Sandwich Shop in Old Main, as
proposed by the Independent Men's Association,
certainly deserves the attention and consideration
of the College administration.
As a state institution, the Colleg e is ,presum
nbly operated on the assumption that low tuition
lees will enable the greatest number of average
jucom e students to attend college. 'Why then.
does- the Colleg e not make more of an attempt to
tiee that students, once here, are assured of ade
quate. reasonably-priced meals? With th e College
likealth Service continually. emphasizing that pro
per food prevents colds and sickness, it seeins
gieal to expect that the other departments of the
College should cooperate in seeing that all stud
ents, n ot just 'coeds, get that proper food.
The average independent male student is up a.
I.lainst it now. Those whb are not able to eat in
'l.lae • Pollock Circle Dining Commons, or at a good
hoarding house i n town, must put up with gross
'inadequacies and inconveniences in trying to ob
lain three meals a day. At no other time have
downtown food prices bee n so unreasonable, while
,i the same time, the quality of the food so low.
The reason given 'by the 'Colleg e for not opening
tihe-Sandwich Shop to men students this semester
)s that, in getting back to "normal," 300 coeds
r3uld not be fed in Atherton Hall and MacAllis
ter' Hiall dining commons. Getting back to 'nor
mal" meant that less coeds would 'be fed in these
dining commons this semester than in the last re
gular semester. The -figures are: over 100 less in
Mac Hall, and 200 less in Ath Hall Dining Com
mons--,a total of mor e than 300, significantly the
Juimber of coeds who now eat in the Sandwich
Shop,
This would indicate that the College believes
the - "emergency" to be over. However, there must
be at least several hundred men students who
»lust eat all their meals in downtown restaurants
who wou:d not agre e that we are back to "nor.
»lathy."
If the College should decide to make any
in
ves'tigation of this problem confronting a large
,mass of its students, a report from the College
Health Service on this point would be enlight
»ing.
Certainly there would be difficulties involved
in opening Old Main as a between_meals snack
shop.
There would be difficulties involved, either in
r•e-routing the 300 coeds from the SandWich Shop
to Mac Hall and Ath Hall, or in arranging Cafe
teria service for 600 or more men and women in
tile Sandwich Shop, but it must be realized by
both students and administration that we are not
liack to "norrnal." Frank D. Davis

Artists' Course Priorities
TO THE EDITOR: I was one of thos e people
who stood in line for it priority ticket in the Ar
tists Series: That standing in line for a poor prior
ity was bad enough. But here's my main gripe.
Wednesday I went for tickets at the time set a.
side for numbers 121-140. That was 11 o'clock and
the clerk was just calling number 75. After a littl e
bickering she told me to come back in the after
noon—but not too early: At 2 o'clock I went - back
and took my plac e in line. Just by a Chance I ask
ed a person in front his number. It turned but he
held 186, the" next person 172, the next 151, and
the next I was too disgusted to ask for. The front
of the line had an assortment of numbers ranging
from 107 to 179. The final result was that I took
two of the last seven seats' left for students.
Of course many of the best tickets were left
for townspeople, but we're just students.
I Can't tm!derstand why this college doesn't de
vise a system for giving out tickets that's fair.

Navy Game Tickets
TO THE EDITOR: To my knowledge, there has
been no announcement'of a public sale to stud
ents or faculty of Naify glame tickets. Upon inquiry
at the A. A. office I was told that all the tickets
have been sold and no new shipment will come.
Also, they told m e that Navy was out of tickets.
In the football -Newsletter of the Michigan
State game, there is a squilb which says that the
alumni had already gone through the Colleg e al
lotment and an additional one.
On the rear of the A. A. books is the statement
"it a:So entitles the owner to priority r ights in
th e purchase of reserved seats for home and out
of-town contests."
What I wish to know is What happened to our
"priorities?" Is it becaus e we are "just students"
and not "influential" alumni that the clause is so
blatantly disregarded?
•
ONE WHO WANTS TO GO
• A quick check with Mr. Gilbert of the A. A.
office showed that the statement about being all
sold out is not quite so. There is still a strong pos.
sibility that Navy will increase our allotment but
we will not know until October 29 at the earliest.
Of the tickets received sb far, more than '2OO
are for students; 100 to the football team and 108
must be reserved for the . Blue. Band. Mr. Truman's
intended appearance at .the game has caused re•
luctance on the part of the Academy to giv e us
more tickets to meet student demand.
The decision to send the Blue Band cut down
bri th e number of seats left for students; Academy
officials said the bartd must sit on the 50 yard line.
Penn Haven ts/4., Haven
TO THE EDITOS: W e are in complete accord
with Eugene Fulmer's article concerning dating
privileges . as pertaining to th e independent houses.
At one time this house had been on the approved
list, .being recognized as one of the many out
standing independent units.
But laSt Spring, much to our consternation, we
discovered that we no longer enjoyed the privi
lege normally extended to the student• at' Penn
State. Afte r numerous requests for admission to
the 'inner sanctum,' we in turn received •as many
excuses and reasons for not having attained the
desired qiiilifidations:. We attempted to remedy
each situation confronting us. The net result was
and still is nil. •
Our. problem,. Mr. Editor, is this;-How do we
eta down on mudh of the red tape we hav e en
countered thus fa t • in our efforts to achieve a ree_
ognized dating code and once more' assum e our
former position on th e approved lis't?

• Contrary to Collegian , policy we print the

ever. The errors are those of the writer; we do
not edit "Letters to the Editor."
Thank You Note
Last weekend the Student Union project added
many names to its rapidly growing list of backers.
The lawn displays put up by the fraternities ser
ved not only to impress the alumni, but they hel
ped to stimulate the interest. of the students. .
IFC deserves a vote of thanks for sponsoring the
contest, but it is the individual -fraternities and
sororities whose displays were the-object of long
hours of planning and construction, who made the
project a success
A 'special commenidation is du e . the sorority
