0? 1 1 ..CrE TWO Letters From the Editor's Mailbox .Elote indepcnclents THE EDITOIt: This is partly in answer to the appearing Wednesday morning, February 2G. o(..ionds Incic'ie First of all, I'd like to answer the ridiculous cl arge against the Junior Class Dance corn mittee for not providing booths for the Inde- p ,, ndents. The dance committee didn't slight the Independ -cit:-.. You slighted and continue to slight your ; elves. Booths arc furnished to all organizations (not individuals) whether independent or fra ernities. You people that lack the initiative to join your iodependent organizations cannot expect to enjoy lue-privileges of an organization .without accept i..lg its responsibilities. As a point of information, I' noticed not one but four booths, foi independents; one IMA , . booth, two ISC booths and'one Beaver House. There may have. heen more since I don't have the official facts. Praternities don't just have a magic formula by which they favorably control their environment arid obtain what they want. They reach their ::copes because they are so well organized and ac tive in their organizations. This article is not intended as a satire, but as an c-mphasis to the need of independents to organize ;inci thus gain the benefits inherent with. unity. Our American alphabet is just as good• as the C•re , k alphabet: You will find that American-let iered organizations can open quite a few doors for you if you participate. Don't gripe about the existing evils. Eliminate them. The best way to do that is to get behind the indcpendent organizations. I'm sure. the IMA or - P-: , nn State Club will.welcome you. —Frank Tidona, President, ISC A.etfer to Stierstoffer TO MR. STIERSTOFFER VIA THE EDITOR: In ease. of doubt, this • is in answer to your letter yrinted March 11. "Who are you?" was the ftrst question brought io inind. Consultation with the student directory, the faculty directory, the BOalsburg phOne direc tory, and Chief Jiaba's arrest blotter for the :last semester failed to pxoduce your, name. 'This may be considered an indication that thi. is your first - semester in Pollock Circle. Obviously you assimilate things rather rapidly., Five weeks is a-mighty long time. In view of your rapid but complete survey of the situation, you no doubt have a very faultless opinion on the hitherto little known fact that the dining commons at Pollock Circle, distinctive among commons on campus, "IS RUN ON . A DEFT NITE•PROFIT BASIS," (and I quote). I consider your remarks about milk rather good ones, since there is little one can do, to spoil it. This is not true with other entrées at the afore lhentioneci concession. According to those who ate at the V-12 mess re cently operated in Old Main, there was a distinct correlation between the poor meals there then, and the deplorable meals here in Pollock Circle now. Is it not strange that the respective managements n (se have something in common? Editorials and.features in The Collegian reflect :the opiniotts a the writer..

I Drink Coffee TO THE EDITOR: • 1 Max offers us proof positive: 3,000 bottles of • milk are served at Pollock Circle Dining Com mons, therefore we should turn cartwheels in praise of the management. I drink coffee. signed the petition. I had my meals in State College diners during the College year 1945-46. My suggestion is that the Pollock Circle management hire some of the local chefs. • The College always has the general excuse or rather statement that "We are trying to help more people get a college education." It can be said that students here at State are being exposed to a College education. The in structors' impersonal attitudO, ~the lack of a proper ratio of students per instructor, the lack of proper facilities both for learning and rec reation, is not giying or supplying us with the opportunity to get the proper college edu cation: The graduating seniors certainly must be happy when they see what trend education is taking. The rest of the 8,826 students plus the 1,000 ex pected next semester, who have more semesters to face, to them my advice ., would be to select only classes scheduled in 121 Sparks; 119 New Physics, -110 EE. You can be sure of a seat and about all the knowledge or motivation' an . instructor can impart to you in a small classroom. 'Unnecessary, Mr. Honig' TO THE EDITOR AND RESIDENTS OF POL LOCK CIRCLE: It was unnecessary for Mr. Honig to obtain the help of the press' n requesting coun cil attendance of any of the 32 men letter signers of the Pollock Circle Dining Hallcomplaint. • At the meeting. of March 3,1.9 e, the council was informed.: as to the previous mentiOned letter, its orig:in, and its contents.. . . Certainly this was presented through official channels since, I presented the views of many of the letter signers myself. Perhaps Mr. Honig should inquire of those on the Council far discussed busi ness instead of the represented grotips individu ally, or be more attentive when presiding over meetings. —W. F. Gard As ex-chairman of the Pollock Circle Diming Hall Committee, I find many improvements since last October, but many things have been left un done although the Council Committee has con tinually pressed those points for completion. Ob viously those letter signers had but one alterna tive, to appeal to higher officials since their own council had run up against opposition from which they could .gain no satisfaction. As to "Instan taneous Positive Action"—thdt is debatable. —Edmund R. Koval. Expect Improvement TO THE EDITOR: At the last. meeting of the Pol lock Ciiele Council, the 8 representatives of that group of 32 that were requested to appear, pre sented a report of grievances on the Dining Hall situation. An investigating committee was formed. The committee, all residents of the Circle, have had previous training in dietetics, food efficiency improvement It is .expected that, thru :complete cooperation on both sides, the problem will be ironed out. May I request, again, that all further problems that arise pertaining to our community be imme diately presented to Council so that action may be taken. —Albert M. Honig; Pres., Pollock Circle Couricil /Go.cri Lurk, Bridge Club' TO TI-IE EDITOR: The undersigned were inter ested to noie in :the Colleian of March 4, 1947 that the cream pit Penn State's- bridge players have fin ished the preliminary round of the 1947 National Intercollegiate Bridge Tournament. Some time ago it was stated in the Collegian that there would be a College tournament to deter mine the teams to represent the school, the details of which were to be announced later. To the best of our knowledge such details have never ap peared. portunity to compete fox the team Perhaps the members of the Bridge club think they are the only peciple in State College who play the game! Good luck to the members•of . the Bridge Club. • —Harry D. Kutz; Charles Kenyon, J. K. McHtigh. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Max accuses us of libel. He had better check the definition: to be libelous, a statement mutt be UNTRUE. I'm not apologizing. I'm still looking for three good CONSECUTIVE meals. Very Interested TO THE EDITOR: I greet the announcement that the College is preparing housing. for 1000 addi tional students with 'a rather pertinent question— When are , they going. to take care of the students, they. have now? 85 psycholbgy students in a classroom with' 72 seats; an instructor in mechanics telling the stu dents he can't check daily work as he would have too much to do—he had over 200 students last semester;, an instructor in architectural engineer ing telling his students that "At the present time, there arc too many students .. in this course," .cer tainly shows a need for a revision of college poli cies and tactics.
