Dining Hall Service OK —Gardecki Pollock food problems are be ing adequately handled, Joseph Gardecki, Pollock Council presi dent, said yesterday, after the council met with Bruce Robert son, food supervisor for the Nit tany dining hall.- The serving of soup and sand wiches at noon on Mondays, and Thursdays should no longer be a problem, Gardecki said. The com bination has been continued des pite an earlier statement by Rob ertson to "the contrary. Because menus are planned weeks in ad vance, Robertson continued serv ing the meal. It was served on Monday without trouble, Robert son said. He' stated- he felt certain there would be no further trouble with the combination. • The problem of long lines, which set off a small uprising in the Pollock dining hall earlier in the semester, has been alleviated, Gardecki said. He explained that many students have moved to the West Dorms. The problem arose because one line instead of the usual two was used in the dining hall at the start of the year because of the de crease in students. The ratio of students to lines was out of pro portion some students contended. This is no longer true, Gardecki stated. Further meetings are anticipat ed, Gardecki said. He said he felt the meeting was a success, in that it helped bring College . officials closer to students and their prob lems.. Dr. John C: Benneiir Will speak at Chapel Radio Station To Get News From Collegian Staff members of The Daily Collegian will, compile, write, and edit news for the planned campus FM radio station. In making the announcement, David Pellnitz, editor, said the radio news will be under the direction of a senior board wire and radio news editor who will have a daily staff of six. Present plans of the radio committee call for minutes of local, national, and sports news during the broadcast day. The broadcast day, accord ing to David R. Mackey, member of the radio committee and an assistant professor of speech, will probably be from 8 to 10 or 11 p.m. daily. Collegian Has Facilities . The actual hours of broadcast ing will be determined from a proposed survey designed to find out which listening hours are most acceptable to the students. The Daily Collegian was select ed as the news gathering agency because it has the facilities and it would be foolish to duplicate them, Mackey said. Serving under the radio news editor will be a staff member to handle local news, one for As sociated Press wire news, and one for sports news, Pellnitz said. A senior board assistant sports editor will write and edit the sports news. The AP wire news will be handled by the junior board night wire editor and the local and campus news by the junior_board night copy editor. Test To Check Plans No plans have been made as to who will read the radio news on the air Mackey said. It could be either a member of the radio station or the newspaper staff, or a combination of the two. This plan, along with most of the radio station plans, is still in the tentative stage' and is awaiting tests of the station. These tests, to be ruxK after completion of the station, are scheduled for the spring before the end of the present semester. The 20 minutes of news is ten tatively scheduled to be split be tween two newscasts, one of 15 minutes and the other 5. The 15- minute broadcast may be held near the beginning of the broad cast evening and will have five minutes each of local, national, and sports news.' Wilmer E. Kenworthy, chair man of the President’s radio com mittee, has said that the applica tion for a permit to build the station will be mailed on or be fore Monday. \ Vets Club to Form New Committees Several cpmmitte.es will be formed by the Penn State Vet erans Club at 7:30 p.m. Monday in 109 Agriculture.
