Homes for Profs
When College administrative officials revealed in
tihe Spring of this year that by 1949 Penn State
wou-d probably have an enrollment of I'O.OOO stud
ents, the people of State College suddenly realized
that they they had to expand their community to
keep pace with the College.
A a a result, the Borough-College Coordinating
Committee was formed with the primary objective
of getting enough housing to provide homes for
111,000 expected residents.
The College has already been hurl a great
deal because of the many instructors who wish
ed to come to teach at Penn State, and then
changed their minds because of the critical
housing shortage. And right now good instruc
tors are harder to find than town cops directing
traffic at College avenue and Allen street dur
ing the 12:20 rush.
The Boro-College Housing Ccrporation is now in
line for congratulations because, after months of
attempting to overcome such difficulties as mater
ials and labor shortages, contracts were signed yes
terday for the immediate construction of 19 single
unit type dwellings. Other State College contractors
are being interviewed to bring the project, which
is located in the South Hills district, to a total of
38 units.
A very fair po.icy has been formulated by which
the houses will be sold to those families which can
show tJhe greatest need for a place to live.
The Corporation is to be oommended also for
taking the needs of the College into consideration
by granting priority to persons who are needed by
•he community, and persons in essential positions
who might otherwise be forced to leave town.

THE SUMMER COLLEGIAN—STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA
Thanks, Gov. Duff...
Editor's Mailcall
Wasn't Hungry Anyway . . •
TO THE EDITOR: When I heard that the Old
fyTain cafeteria was going to be open all summer
for men students as well as women students I was
Eleasantly surprised and fully expected to make a
ig saving on the food problem.
Little did I know how disillusioned I would
be! After eating only one meal at Old Main I
found that the prices were not lower but
actually higher than the town restaurants. I
was stupefied to discover that for an order of
macaroni containing approximately 23 maca
ronies I was charged 20 cents. (That's one cent
per macaroni.) After paying 15 cents for a nor
mal-sised bowl of soup I was told by the
cashier (who had difficulty in keeping a
straight face) that the crackers were 5 cents
extra.
Why does the cafeteria charge 10 cents for a
half pint of milk when you can buy a pint of milk
downtown for 13 cents? What possible reason can
there be for all this? ...
—George Van Artedalen.
We Hang Our Heads • • •
TO THE EDITOR: We’re sorry. We hang our
heads in shame. We hasten to apologize to those of
you who are visiting our campus for the first time,
those of you who have come from universities
such as Minnesota, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Purdue,
Cornell, and who are accustomed to spending your
free moments in Student Unions. We don’t have
one and are as sorry as you are.
Our Student Union is a desk in Old Main and
daily you inquire there—Where is the Student
Union building?
Where? If has been in dreams of Penn
Slafefs for years, and for years students have
fried to raise the money to erect one.
The dream is here, and the plan, but the plan
calls for $2,000,000. Some day you will return to
Penn State and we will not need apologize. We
are only $1,985,000 from our goal.
, —Joe Kelly.
Bottlenecks and Hot Dog Stands
TO THE EDITOR: The main prerequisite for, en
trance to this college seems to be the ability to stand
in line for hours 1
lit is obvious that the bottleneck which occurs in
every oolT.ege registration is at the first desk at
which everyone must ask the inevitable, “Where do
I go from here?” More information desk s directing
the mass of people quickly and effectively would
eliminate that line Which trails out of the tjfud'lridng
and down the street.
Forms could.be made available in advance to stu
dents desiring to attend a summer session who are
not college students. (Thi s was already done for
regular students:)
Waiting in Old Mein nearly an hour to have a
heme card taken from a box is an unnecessary
waste of time! Can’t the administration take, action
against these tortures—or at least build an ade
quate supply of benches and hot dog stands for our
use while we wait. . . and wait... and wait...
