PAGE TWO
Food Problems
Aired by Group
(This is the last in a series ol articles on the resolu
tions adopted at the first annual Student Encampment.)
Problems in the areas of dormitory food service, student co
operation and responsibiities, and recreation, were discussed at the
first annual Student Encampment at Mont Alto Forestry School
Sept. 4 to 6.
The dormitory food service committee, headed by William
Griffith, considered problems concerned with informing students
on menu planning, computations
involved in planning the price
of meals, and student help in
planning meals.
The committee made the fol
lowing recommendations:
1. All-College Cabinet should
coordinate the work of the sev
eral food committees and have
these groups select, from their
membership, responsible students
to work in close cooperation with
the menu planning committee of
the food services department.
2. All-College Cabinet should
request the food service to serve
a choice of meat or fish on Fri
days.
3. All-College Cabinet should
inform the student body of the
manner in which the price of
meal tickets is computed in or
der that students may better un
derstand the reasons for the non
transferability of meal tickets.
4. All-College Cabinet should
inform the student body of the
College policy regarding the sale
of meal tickets to students who
live off-campus.
5. All - College Cabinet should
inform the student body of the
policy regarding meal tickets for
guests.
6. All-College Cabinet should
inform the student body of the
practical reasons for restricting
coeducational dining to exchange
dinners.
Group Discusses Recreation
In discussing the possibility for
a more effective student govern
ment, the cooperation and respon
sibilities committee con sidered
the removal of All-College Cab
inet’s power to amend its own
constitution. The committee also
considered a joint judicial body
for particular cases, instead of
the present men’s Tribunal and
women's Judicial bodies.
The committee on recreation,
headed by Frank Hartman, de
voted much of its time to the pre
sent shortage of recreational fa
cilities. The committee presented
the following recommendations:
1. A statement concerning the
availability of the Student Union
Building should be made by Pres
ident Eisenhower early in the
fall semester in the Daily Colle
gian. The statement should give
full particulars to date on rea
sons for delay and probability of
completion, and include a brief
review for new students unac
quainted with its history.
Set Up Permanent Group
2. The problem of better organ
ization and participation in men’s
independent intramural recrea
tion should be examined.
a. Independent intramural com
petition would be better organ
ized by the formation of area
councils of the living units with
an athletic program chairman
meeting periodically with those
persons in charge of intramural
recreation.
b. Indepen dent intramural
spirit would be increased by lim
iting team representatives to
small living units only, which
would be combined in case of in
sufficient support in a particular
unit.
c. Intramural competition be
tween fraternities and indepen
dents would be beneficial to
both, and the possibility of such j
competition should be considered.!
3. A permanent cabinet com
mittee should be created to carry
on the work of the encampment
committee to consider and seek
a solution to all future recreation
problems which may arise and to
consider the problem of student
seating at athletic events.
Ask Resurvey of Space
The following additional rec
ommendations would help alle
viate problems of inadequate rec
reation facilities:
1. Compiling of an up-to-date
master list of recreational facili
ties and the procedure and re
quirements for obtaining them.
To be maintained bv the recrea
tion committee, the list be
kept at the Student Union desk
for the use of all students.
This record could include the
following;; 1
a. A resurvey of all available
campus room space, including
classrooms, with description of
the room and facilities available.
b. A list of College transporta
tion which might be available,
and procedure for obtaining and
keeping a list of student drivers
interested in driving at standard
rates and their vehicle capacity.
A list should be made of nearby
off-campus recreational facilities
with a description and procedure
for obtaining their use. A list
should be made of all entertain
ers (bands, masters of ceremony,
or square dance callers), student
or non-student, available in the
College area.
The recreation committee also
recommended the following.
1. Outdoor areas should be
lighted, particularly those of soft
ball, football, and tennis.
2. Filling in and leveling should
be done on the Nittany-Pollock
baseball field, using dirt from
present excavations.
3. Requisition and lighting of
thre fields near the golf course
for West dormitory softball and
football games.
4. Volleyball courts and equip
ment should be included in all
■areas.
5. Additional central campus
area should be alloted for wom
en's recreation and temporary al
lotment of any unused portions
of it for the use of men’s town
groups.
6. Additional lighted all - wea
ther tennis courts should be pro
vided.
7. Mt. Tussey recreation lodge
should be rebuilt and expanded,
and a north wing sho Id be added
to Recreation Hall for expanded
floor space as soon as possible.
8. The use of church and high
school gymnasiums \yhen not oc
cupied should be requested for
town men’s basketball or other
recreation.
9. Hard surface courts or other
suitable areas for winter ice skat
ing should be flooded.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1853
State Week
Projects
Suggested
Suggestions for Pennsylvania
Week projects were made yester
day at the first meeting of a 16
member student, faculty, and staff
committee.
Fred M. Coombs, professor of
physical education, was named
chairman of the committee, after
Richard C. Maloney, central re
gional vice chairman for colleges
and universities for Pennsylvania
Week, briefly explained the pur
poses of the committee.
Bell Formation Planned
A subcommittee also was -ap
pointed to discuss suggestions and
report back to the entire com
mittee Wednesday. Coombs asked
the committee to investigate the
costs of such projects and the
amount of assistance needed on
the project. Members of the sub
committee are James Plyler, All-
College vice president; William
Shifflet, president of the Associ
ation of Independent Men; Joan
Hutchon, president of the Wom
an’s Student Government Asso
ciation; Lincoln Warrell, presi
dent of the Coordinatng Board of
Student Councils; Thomas Ham
monds, Division of Central Ex
tension; Dr. Philip S. Klein, pro
fessor of American history; Ma
loney; and Coombs.
Suggest Motorcade
Although no definite plans were
made, Warrell reported that a lib
erty bell formation has been de
veloped for the flashcard section,
and* will be used for the home
coming game. The homecoming
game, scheduled for Oct. 18, is
during Pennsylvania Week, War
rell said the bell formation would
be in keeping with the theme for
the week, “Pennsylvania Defends
Freedom.”
Other suggestions include a
competitive motorcade of Penn
sylvania Week displays at half
time at the Homecoming game, a
special Blue Band program at
halftime, exhibits from the Col
lege’s schools for downtown dis
plays, a folk festival in Recrea
tion Hall, a library exhibit, and
dramatic presentations by the
Thespians and 5 O’clock Theater.
Festival to Cost $l5O
Dr. Kline said that Elsa Lisle,
circulation librarian, had request
ed a Pennsylvania Week display
in the Pattee Library.
Coombs said that the folk fes
tival at Rec Hall would cost about
$l5O. Most of the cost, however,
could be made up by the sale of
tickets he said.
A suggestion also was made
that a Pennsylvania Week exhibit
be displayed at the Hort Show,
to be held Oct. 18 and 19.
A lawn display in front of Old
Main, similar to one rejected by
All-College Cabinet last year, was
also suggested.
