Simmons Diners
Ask Food Increase
Coeds who dine in Simmons
Hall desire an increase in quan
tity of food served and less
starches in their diet, a recent
survey by the All-College Cab
inet food investigating commit
tee disclosed.
A similar complaint a b out
starches was received from the
men dining at Nittany commons,
as reported Thursday. It was the
second highest item mentioned
by both men and women.
Men did not join the coeds,
however, in demanding greater
quantity of food, the most fre
quent complaint listed on the
women's survey.
Other coed suggestions in
cluded a plea for more green
vegetables, less pork and ham,
more variety in desserts, a return
to the cafeteria style of serving,
and more muffins for breakfast.
The committee reported that
action. has been taken on the
meat, muffin, and dessert ques
tions. The cafeteria mat ter
"would have to be discussed with
the dean of women's office," the
report said.
Less pr eval en t complaints
which the committee said have
been settled concern requests for
less apples and apricots, more
chocolate milk, posting of menus,
and separate serving of gravy.

Nittany Gridders Close
1948 Home Season Today
The undefeated Nittany Lion football team will make its final
1948 appearance on New Beaver field at 2 p.m. this afternoon when
it aims against Temple for game number 17 without a loss.
Rated fifth in the country by the Associated Press poll, the Lions
will try to keep the Templars from scoring on the Nittany gridiron
as they have ever since the inception of the series in 1931.
The Temple team specializes in upsets and will be aiming for
one this afternoon. In 1944 a highly-favored Lion eleven barely
licked the Owls at Philadelphia,
7-8, and last year a fair Cherry
and White team held the unde
feated bowl-bound Nittany squad
to a lone touchdown.
The Penn State team will enter•
this afternoon's game with vic
tories over Bucknell, Syracuse,
West Virginia, Colgate and Penn
and a tie with Michigan State,
while the Templars can boast
only two victories, Bucknell and
Syracuse, against five defeats.
Only Lion regular missing from
the squad list will be Larry Joe,
speedy back who injured his rib
in last week's game against
Penn. Joe will probably be ready
for next week's clash against
Pittsburgh.
So far this season, no team has
been able to hold the Owls score
less although four teams—Leba
