Get Out 4, ailll Totirgtatt And Vote! or" "TOR A BETTER PENN STATE" VOLUME 49-NUMBER 44 1050 Students Cast Ballots Council Suspends Food Problem Action A period of watchful waiting was adopted over the ticklish food situation existing in the Nittany Dining Hall by a motion of a com bined Nittany Dorm Council and food committee Tuesday night. The problem was precipitated Monday night over a mass demon stration held by Nittany and Pollock Dining Hall patrons. Before a hastily-called session of 26 councilmen and food com mittee workers held in the Nit tany Council room, it was pro posed and carried that the dorm council take no demonstrative ac tion until an Easter deadline. Results Promised This measure was • taken with the assuranc e of Mildred Baker, director of food service, that she will "go to work on the problem immediately." In a 2-hour food committee meeting with Miss Baker Tuesday afternoon, she promised imme diate results. Meanwhile Daniel Cottone, Nittany Dorm Council president, asked that the men of Nittany and Pollock areas have confidence in the food commit tee and in Miss Baker's guaran tee, Miss Baker offered an explana tion that the recent alleged "let down" in the quality of food served in the Nittany Dining Hall is due to the dieticians changing from a winter to a spring type of food. Specific complaints aired to the College foods buyer concerned meats, vegetables, cheese sand wiches and varieties of meals to be served. Miss Baker was told that the only thing that will paci fy the men in the dorm areas is action. The food committee was as sured that the dining hall would go back to the level of the old menus which were used before the present two-week period in which the grav e situation has arisen. Halt On Strikes Cottone asked dining hall pa trons to desist in any more dem onstrations that would reflect on the area government. The Nit tany Council prexy appeared op timistic that a satisfactory plan would be worked out bet Ween the food administration and the stu dents. Paul Kritsky, chairman of the food committee warned, "If the boy's want a strike or a boycott after the two-week waiting per iod, then it will be the duty of the council to lead that action. But the Nittany-Pollock residents must be sure that that solution is the right one." The council also stressed that if no progress is made evident they will definitely back the Nit tany and Pollock men. Proposals One of the proposals made was that if the food situation is not improved the council resort to state-wide publicity campaign ing through the newspapers in order to receive action. Riding along with the motion to await Monday's regular meet ing of the Nittany Dorm Council is an amendment that each Nit tany dorm president broach the type of action his respective dorm members wish if the situation has not improved.

No definite time for closing dents having classes up to 5 p.m Lions, Staters Argue Politics Lion party charges that the State party is unrepresentative because its nominations and plat form policies are controlled by a select steering committee of 10 -1. men or less were effectively an swered by State party repre sentatives Robert Gabriel and Robert Keller during an informal panel discussion at the TUB last night. The panel discussion replaced a scheduled informal debate which was cancelled because of poor student turnout. Answering Lion All - College presidential candidate Ted Al len's arguments, Keller said that control of the party by a group of politically-alert campus lead ers made for a better all-around slate of candidates than selection by the rank-and-file of the Col lege voters. In addition, the State party senior class presidential nominee added that the State party sys tem of proportional representa tion was actually more demo cratic than the Lion system of allowing anyone who has attend ed two or more meetings to vote. "The Lion party is in danger of having candidates selected by a `packed' meeting," Keller said. He jumped on this year's primary election figures as evidence that certain fraternity and independ ent groups can control Lion party nomination meetings. Lions Allen and James Mac- Callum countered by saying that the State clique was merely a figurehead to approve State steer ing committee recommendations.

McLain requested that the stu dent should try out the model machine on the registration desk before going into the voting booth. Since voting was very heavy in the late morning and late after noon periods, the Elections Com mittee chairman suggested that students try to vote either early in the morning or from 12:15 to 1:00 p.m. when the voting is rela tively light.
