It seems that Penn State is taking back ward steps while other colleges are building m a manner befitting the twentieth century. How ever I can partially dismiss these monstrosities ; actually a combination of American Colonial, aroque, and Roman Architecture) as being due . the personal tastes of the trustees, etc. However, now something is being done that is mpossible to forget. It seems that a nenfr dorm .y ill be covering the entire area between Phi Gam „nd Carnegie Hall. That part of Pollock Road Will really look grand completely encased by build ings. Our once beautiful campus is rapidly ap proaching that of Penn, Pitt, and N.Y.U. That should seem just a little strange out here in these spacious parts. Please, for the sake of those who have am at tachment for this place, let’s do our future build* ' •<* on some of our wide open spaces. —Herbert Bechard Wants Action i u the EDITOR: It seems that the residents of i■. litany Dorms and other school-dominated board ing houses will never get their problems solved by Tying to the Collegian. Why they don’t raise their volume and make he sound heard in Harrisburg, or go to the “big .capers” is a thing I don't see. These men are worthy of consideration! Not cause they are probably veterans, not because hey are asking the impossible, but, because they ■rp paying for a service from a State institution. Unfavorable publicity would hurt the future the school, it sems to me, yet, it is the only solu n to an otherwise uncalled for situation. This condition is far from desirable and it ought be rectified in short order. Instead of crying the ops, you Men of The Long Line, why don’t you operate and demand action? There is nothing ’re disconcertig to a man lost in the moutains r to hear his own voice echoing back to him. r wouldn’t want such condition on my con rice when The Long Line slowly wends its way ’ the inadequate mess hall, after being buffeted '.old blasts of wind, rain, snow and sleet on a morning or an equally dark winter evening, something to think about!

AH-CbHege Cabinet, convinced that the food problem was of campus-wide portent, and that subordinate bodies had been stymied ht their efforts, or were still unorganized, named a committee to study the situation. Thte committee, by the formation of a sub-committee on com plaints, has provided a medium for the diners in Kittany Dining Hall to report concrete criticisms. It will meet for the purpose of collecting comments in foe Dining Hall at 4:46 pm, Monday. Criticism, of course, must include more than complaints if it is to be honest and constructive. Praise for any worthy accomplish ments m the difficult Held of institutional feeding should make of ficials more inclined to reform any inadequacies. Practical and workable suggestions should also be included in reports to the complaint sub-committee. Students who are satisfied are especially urged to state their satisfaction. Complainers are al ways eager to be heard; satisfaction too often goes unexpressed. Temple’s Interfraternity Council evidently has put some teeth into its rushing code.
