End Food Woes In Democratic Way Last Wednesday, a number of men staged a ‘‘protest demonstration” in the Nittany-Pollock dining hall. The men came late to the evening meal, thus delaying the closing of the building by several minutes. On Friday it was reported that the names of the participants in the pro test had been turned over to the Dean of Men’s office for disciplinary action. On Saturday, 21 residents of the Nittany area sent a: letter to the Daily Collegian objecting to the idea of disciplinary action being taken on the students involved in the protest. The whole affair has arisen over misinformation and ignorance. - To begin with, the letter printed in Saturday’s Daily Coßejgian stated in one place, “Students have no other way to show their objections except by causing such inconveniences to the College.” How students connected with student gov ernment must have shuddered at that sen tence. No mailer what the situation, student government can in some way handle the prob lem without the students themselves resorting to their own measures. In this particular instance, the chargrin was even worse. For only two weeks ago in All- College Cabinet the All-College foods committee presented a report in which steps were enum erated as to how food complaints were to be handled. Somewhere along the line, someone has failed to pass on the information which could have prevented last week’s dining hall incident. ' , The All-College foods committee was set up to investigate complaints concerning food and food services as well as to work with Mildred A.. Baker, director of food service, and the menu planning committee in an effort to perfect the present system. On this committee are the chairmen or members of the individual dining hall committees. . The duty of these local dining hall com mittees is to attempt to settle local problems. >. If. however, a solution cannot be reached, the matter is to he brought to the attention of Miss Baker. The All-College foods committee has -also devised a complaint form which these ; dining hall groups have in their possession. ' Any student may request one of these forms ' to state his complaint. But the men from Nittany also objected to the possible disciplinary action to be taken. Their concern was valid, but the men should have realized that the likelihood that such ac tion would be taken was negligible in this case. : hi the first place, the Dean of Men’s office decides whether disciplinary action should be taken. A recommendation that such steps be taken need not be acted upon by the dean’s office. Secondly, it should have occurred to these men that for the Dean of Men’s office to “prosecute” the 135 men who took part in the THE DAILY COLLECT AH. STATE COLLEGE.; PENNSYLVANIA protest would take weeks and that the “crime” involved was not so serious that it demanded such exhaustive work toward disciplinary ac tion. The men who participated in last week's demonstration were most likely led by a few rabble rousers who either didn't know or ig nored the proper democratic procedure to be taken. In the future we- hope students will think twice before causing a disturbance which could be settled much more sanely "out of court." In Memoriam •.. The unexpected death yesterday morning of Dr. Stuart A. Mahuran, professor of journalism, was a shock to more than those who are asso ciated with the Journalism department. Dr. Mahuran made many friends in his 12- year stay at the College. Outside of his teaching profession, he used to entertain many audiences with' his acts of magic. His students will long remember his interest in the journalism profes sion as well as his interest in individual stu dents. Dr. Mahuran, one of the six men in the world who had a Ph.D. in journalism in 1941, will be missed by all persons who have been associated with him in the College and town communities. —Mimi Ungar Gazette...

The poll was conducted by the Associated Col legiate Press.) College students have little’ hope of either a speedy end to the Korean war or of peace between Russia and the United States. In a survey taken by the ACP national poll of student opinion, students across the nation were asked: “Do you think the Korean war will be over within six months?” THE RESULTS: YES. FIVE per cent; no, 82 per cent; no opin ion, ten per cent; other, three per cent. Students were also asked: “How do you feel about chances for a peaceful settlement of differences between Russia and the United States?” Here are the answers: chances are good, three per cent; chances are fair, 27 per cent; chances are poor, 54 per cent; no chances, 12 per cent; and no opin ion, four per cent. In a student opinion poll taken last year the same question was asked. At that time only 45 per cent of those interviewed said “Chances are poor.” MOST STUDENTS LAY BOTH the Korean war and the cold war at Russia’s doorstep. “Russia is not looking for peace but for TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1033 By Bibler ■gzK- -ty s ' a half geiiin' ready for; a big >ed by an' suggested a movie." power,” says a junior from Mount Mary College, Milwaukee. And a Purdue University stu dent sees “no chance” for peace “unless there is a civil war in Russia.” An enginering student at the Citadel, military school in Charles ton, S.C., comments on Korea, “The situation should be turned over ,to the military 'entirely; ‘statesmen’ have already blun dered, away two years in Korea.” "THERE WILL BE NO COM promise,” says a sophomore coed from'Regis College. Mass. “Either Russia or the United States will be. the victor.” Those who feel there is still a chance for peace tend to pin their hopes on: a revolution in the Soviet Union and its satellites, Soviet fear of Western power, U. S. “patience and diplomacy,” Eisenhower, and “a turning back,” as one student puts it, “to reli gion and God.” But a goed at Trinity College, Washington, D. C., sums up the feeling of many students when, having granted there’s a chance for peace, she adds, “But it will take a miracle.”
