Baker, director of College Food Service, said yesterday. ' The action resulted from a pro test in the Nittany-Pollock dining hall by 135 residents of the Pol lock Dorms. The men, who dis approved of having only one serving line, came late to the eve ning meal and consequently de layed the closing of the building by . several minutes. P. W. Hart, assistant food super visor of the Nittany dining hall,- said the men were objecting to the closing of one of the two serv ing lines duesto the recent trans fer of many students out of the Pollock area. He termed the display “un successful” since the closing time was delayed by only ten minutes. A small percentage of. the 450 men are served in that line, he said. The men based their protest on the belief that the one line was not fast enough to take care of the need at lunch time when a long walk to and from classrooms is- necessary. Hart stated that the one line was satisfactory and met with College policy. He cited for ex ample that while the one Pollock line handles the 450 1 men, there are two for the 1000 men in Nit tany, thus keeping the same ratio. New Members To Be Initiated By Players .

Penn Professor Calls Loyalty Law Harmful A law professor at the University of Pennsylvania has called the state loyalty law more harmful to loyal citizens than to danger ous subversives. The professor, Clark Byse, wi view that the loyalty act “contril harms,.innocent persons of consc: of resentment, fear, and mistrust.” Byse listed the dismissal of teachers as one of the few “tan gible results” of the legislation, referring apparently to dismissals such as that of Wendell S. Mac- Rae, who was removed from his position at Penn State last year. Macßae was eventually reinstated after months of unemployment through the work of faculty com mittees and other investigating bodies. Other Results Byse wrote that three teachers, a social worker, three doctors, and a nurse were dismissed in the state because of the law. .Other tangible results of the law, Byse wrote, were a feeling of resentment on the part of many teachers and other employees and the resignation of an employee' of the Philadelphia City Planning Commission. This employee signed the oath, then left his post in pro test against the oath law. Gives Reasons Byse summarized these actions as evidence that “a forced loyalty oath does not contribute in any way to making public employees loyal,” and ; added, “Loyalty can be earned, but it cannot be coerced.” Byse gave three reasons for the original passage of the law, which was presented to the state by Sen. Albert R. Pechan. The reasons are: 1. There was a faulty estimate of the subversive problem; it was merely assumed there were Com munists in public employ. • 2. The law was a reaction to a typically American hatred-of the Communist methods;' the law demonstrated this hatred. 3. “Laws are passed by the peo ple’s elected representatives and voting against ‘loyalty’ legislation can be misrepresented.” As an alternative to the law Byse suggests that loyalty prob es are “real, complex, and vi tal and that the solution “calls for sustained thought and study.” Pechan, reached for comment m his Ford City dental office,, had (Continued on . page eight) rote in the Pennsylvania Law Re >utes little or riothing to security, ience, and creates an atmosphere 'Major Barbara' In 4th Weekend Players' production of "Ma jor Barbara/' social comedy by George Bernard Shaw, will go into its fourth weekend of a six week run at 8 tonight at Center Stage. _ Tickets, priced at $l, are available for tonight and to morrow night's performances at the Student Union desk in Old Main or at the door of the theater, Hamilton avenue west of Allen street. -2 Replaces W For Absentees Changes in Regulations for Un dergraduate Students, section M, abolish the grade of W for stu dents not attending a course after the first four weeks of a semester and provide that such students be given a -2.

'■ 20-cenf Hike Still Must Get Trustee OK By CHUCK OBERTANCE Final approval of a 20-cent per semester hike in student fees to support a campus ra dio station was unanimously passed last night by All-Cot lege Cabinet. The fee, slated to. go into effect next fall, was passed after defeat of a mo tion to table it. The 20-cent assessment will be presented to the College Board of Trustees for final approval when they meet this month. First approval of the fee was given by cabinet Jan. 15. Matters concerning student fees must be discussed and then passed by a two-thirds majority of two con secutive cabinet meetings. College May Match Students Originally the fee was to have been 15 cents per student, sup plying one half the necessary $6OOO for radio station operation. It was indicated the College would provide the remaining $3OOO. However, an amendment increasing the fee five' cents to aid in station expansion was pass ed at the last meeting. With the 20 cent fee, students would pro vide a total of $4OOO. College officials have indicated that if funds were available, the College would match student con tributions. The College will algo supply room and facilities for a transmitter, studios, and heat and lighting. Favor Town Expansion Whether to earmark the $lOOO to be raised as a result of the five cent increase specifically for ex pansion of the station facilities or development of receiver units in the downtown units was discussed. Emory Richardson, chairman of the President’s radio committee, suggested the money be used to get more equipment for the stu dio and to facilitate transmission. He added that the fund should be used for a - reserve over the $3OOO operating budget since the budget was so closely set. What was left over, he said, would be used for downtown development. However, the motion passed stated the money obtained from the five cent increase should be used primarily for expansion of radio facilities in the downtown area. What money left would then be used for station expan sion. RILW Report Made Cabinet voted down a motion by Mineral Industries Student Council president David- Fleming to table the assessment until cab inet could give it more consider ation. Assistant Professor of Speech David R. Mackey urged cabinet to take immediate action because of time needed to apply for a Federal Communications Commission building permit, to run necessary tests, arid to apply to the FCC for license. The delay, he said, might do considerable harm and hurt morale which has be 3„ built up over the station. William Griffith, chairman of the Religion in Life Week pro gram, made a committee report and asked cabinet for $2OO. He explained plans to have RILW discussion topics on present day (Continued on page eight) DON’T FOR6ET TOUR CHICK ON FIVE CENTS
