New Hope for the Hill
After almost two years' efforts the food situation at
Pollock Circle at last shows a tremendous possibility of be
lag remedied.
On Monday evening the men on the "hill" met and were
impressed with Miss Mildred Baker, the College's new foods
supervisor. Miss Baker, complete with an Arizona drawl,
comes to Penn State with years of experience in food super
vision of college dining facilities. Her record at the Univer
sity of Arizona is an excellent one, and one we believe will
be continued at Penn State—providing she receives the
proper cooperation.
The points that impressed the Pollock Circle leaders
most were the efficient manner ip Which Miss Baker acted
and the attitude she displayed toward the entire situation.
At past meetings the complaints of the men usually boiled
down to eaclh side making charges and courier-charges
without changes made either in the "hillmen's" attitude
or the quality of the meals.
Miss Baker diligently took notes on every complaint
made, and at the end of the meeting stated that she was
going to track each one down. In the past the complaints
have been noted, but number of cases where improvements
were made have been negligible.
The thing that has been avoided up to now, however
has been the general attitude of the men Which is difficult
to pin down to specific examples. We are happy to see that
Miss Baker recognized the fact immediately and showed
common sense in her relations with the men.
While Miss Fall, supervisor of Pollock Circle and Nit
tany dining commons, called the men who live on the "hill"
vicious, Miss Baker at the same meeting stated that she
was glad to know what the gripes are so something can be
done to correct them.
Another example of Miss Baker's insight and sincere
desire to do a good job was her action as soon as she arrived
at Penn State to go through the Collegian files and see for
herself what the students were doing and thinking. At the
same time Miss Fall indicated her lack of interest in student
problems by stating that she doesn't read the Collegian.
Our congratulations to Purchasing Agent Harold Lo
man for bringing in such a competent person as Miss P►ker
to head the College's dining commons.
is now up to the men at Pollock Circle to cooperate
with Miss Baker. By working together, the Circle can be
come more attractive and rather than having men talk
about moving out, the 200 empty rooms won't be empty
next September.

Dear Boss,
Who is this guy Dave Adelman who write s "My Twisted Tale"
for Collegian and what does he have against me? Did you see his
column on Saturday when he took me across the coals for having the
word "editor" on the inside of the door in my cartoon. Where does
he get off being so catty?
The solution is s o simple. Editor Allan William Ostar is so im-
pressed with his position that he
had the word "editor" printed on
the inside so he could always
gaze on it an•d be reminded that
he is th e William Allen White of
Penn State journalism.
As fo r Mr. Adelman—let me
ask him one question. In a col
umn he wrote last month, he sup
posedly explained the Rec Hall
basketball scoring record but
listed three different players with
three different totals as holding
the record. Mr. Adelman, my
amend, who does hold the record?
ff you don't know it doesn't mat
ter. We don't know either. But
please don't g o around writing
columns about something you
know nothing!
For the firsf time in two years,
I feel o ptimistic about the Pollock
Circle food situation. The reason

is that I've just met Miss Baker
who come here recently from Ari
zona, to take charge of the cam
pus dining commons. Miss Baker
sat through three hours of legiti_
mate and illegitimate griping
from the peasants at a mass
meeting in the mess hall Monday
night.
After the meeting, I went up to
her and apologized for the ac
tions of some of the peasants
there. "Why, I'm glad the boys
are so outspoken! That's the only
way we'll get this cleared up.

TO THE EDITOR: This morn

reading all about what Senator
Hartley had to say on the impor
tant and disputable Taft-Hartley
Bill. I was especially intereLted
since I. as were many. was un
able to hear Senator Hartley
speak in the forum series. But
your news coverage of the Sen
ator's speech was very brief and
contained but a few major points
with a few of the Senator's com
ments and feelings.
Didn't Senator Hartley have
Now I have something concrete
to work on."
As one of the chief gripers Said
after the meeting, "Miss Baker
has more sense than apybody at
the meeting, the fellows in

•Hartley emphasised in his
dramatic, eloquent speech that
his bill was designed to curb
union abuses as enumerated in
the Daily Collegian story. Hart
ley stated that he would "pro
pose" applying the anti-trust
laws to unions but this state
ment was not expanded or ex
plained and so was omitted.
Otherwise the story was deemad
an adequate coverage of the
speech for the space allotted.
