University Food Service, which operates eight dining halls on campus, is carrying out its many regulations concerning students to the farthest point possible. This may make for a smoothly run food service, but it does not make for a satisfied students body. Such rigidity might be justified if the serv ice offered to students was as exact as is the response students are expected to give to help make the food service operate at top effi ciency. Students are not allowed into dining halls for meals without meal tickets. If they mis place this bit of paper, they are forced to buy a new one. This costs one dollar. The matricu lation card must be carried with the meal ticket in order to get into meals. Metric cards cost one dollar, too. This makes two dollars, which is a rather expensive penalty for mis placing a two-and-one-half by four inch piece of paper. In previous years there has been a "grace period" during which a student could get a meal by telling her number to the checker. Two years ago the grace period extended for two days. Last year it was two meals. At the be ginning of this year the dietitian would fill out a slip of paper so the student could get into one meal without a meal ticket. At present the policy is "no ticket; no meal." Doors close exactly on time.

However, the doors do not always open with such split-second percision. Doors are only three or four minutes late in opening some days, but there are no days when the closing deadline is extended three or four minutes. Dietitians often misjudge the number coming tox_a meal. This means the student who comes through the line in the latter half of the service period frequently doesn't get the same food as earlier arrivals. The later student gets left overs from previous days or an improvised menu. It is hard for the dietitians to take care of the rush period just as the doors open. Later, the line is gone and the dietitians are not kept busy. Perhaps if enough food were prepared to take care of all students attending a meal, the lines might spread out over the entire service period. Students can make mistakes. They misplace their meal tickets and still want, to come to meals. They arrive on the "border line" time and want to be served. They pack the ,lines as the doors open. This annoys the dietitians. Dietitians misjudge the number coming to meals and run out of . food. They do not allow grace periods. They open doors late but close them exactly on time. This annoys the students. Obviously both students and•the food' service staff can make mistakes. But perhaps : if dining hall regulations were planned with a mind towards the students who patronize the food service, these students might be more con siderate of the mistakes that can evolve in 'the process of running a large food service. On Weekend Driving A big weekend starts tonight. Don't let this be anyone's LAST big weekend. The excitement of the Junior. Prom and house parties will this weekend as always turn the campus into a high-tensioned community. This, combined with the rain, snow and slippery roads, will make traveling this weekend ex ceptionally hazardous. Therefore students must not only make sure that they enjoy the festivities to the fullest, but also that they survive to, enjoy IFC-Panhel Ball, the Senior Prom, an remaining big weekends. Drive slowly this weekend, especially through the narrow streets surrounding fraternity house areas. Keep an eye out for pedestrians— they'll be at a disadvantage. And if you're driv ing, stay sober. Smashed fenders too often are the fault of a smashed driver. BABCOCK & WILCOX CO.: B.S. in Chem.E., lE, ME & Metal. on Nov. 16.

Bill . my ex-husband is a veteran." • Sorority Houses . Adam's Othet • Rib The idea of sorority houses is a novelty to most women students on campus now. It's been a good ten• or 15 years since Penn State sororities have been housed in individual living units. But the idea is no longer illusion . . . it is a very live prospect that stands a 50-50 chance of becoming a reality. Whether sorority houses are brought back on campus will in the long run depend on sororities themselves. This week Panhel has been asked to carry the proposal back to sorority members. Panhel 'as yet has no answer to the question. Nor do we. However, the issue lends itself well to prolonged discussion and debate; and the more one debates the matter, the more clearly de ' velops the two quite valid and authentic wides to it. From the very personal view point of a Greek, sorority houses bear a faint resemblance to Utopia. What individual ..:would deny some desire for, a private home on campus, living quarters which she and her "sisters" ex clusively could utilize and regu late, facilities for Parties, enter- taining, or just plain lounging? But this is perhaps a .very minor element. It does to a cer tain extent deny the gregar iousness of all women students promoted on campus by the pre sent dormitory housing; Al though sorority houses would not necessarily distort relation ships between sorority and in dependent women, they would admittedly create somewhat of a wider gulf between the two groups. Sororities must, in all fairness, consider the matter in the light of what is best, not for individual sororities, but primarily for the entire University and secondly for the Panhellenic system. It is at this point that sorority women will feel the greatest con flict. Sorority houses would do much to strengthen the Panhel lenic system on campus. The houses would be similar, perhaps quadrangle type buildings. They would cause no friction among sororities; indeed they would probably promote a closer unity here, if only because of the geo graphical proximity of the houses. Such a housing system might also lead eventually to more unity between sororities and fraterni ties. With their own facilities and area for entertaining, sororities could quite definitely engage in a wider social program. However, it is just - this poten tial exclusiveness that raises doubts about the proposed hous ing arrangement. After having lived most of their university careers in : the impersonal and definitely unexclusive dormi tory environment, students are _ .~~.~ ....... r r ~ .~ ~~~ _ .. N _._`~ tl ? i / BY PEGGY McCLAIN , in a poor position to judge to just what degree sororities can , isolate themselves from the rest of the campus without losing rapport with non-sorority , stu dents. - This latter is the area that de serves especially close scrutiny by the entire University sorority affiliates, independents, and the administration. Whether a Pan ' hellenic system 'has the right to hold itself aloof from whatever it chooses,, or whether it should make : special effort to associate itself with all phases of university life is a question that hardly ever has , been answered directly and impartially. It is apparently a question that must be answered by Penn State itself as far as our own Panhel is concerned. And if this is the case, Panhel might be trespassing on student rights to hold itself aloof. For as evidended in the fall formal rushing program, there is not room enough in Penn State sororities for all rushees. Of the approximate 450 women who went through rushing in September, a little more than 200 were ribboned. All sorori ties did not fill their quotas, but nevertheless, there would not have been spaces in them for all of the remaining 200 rushees. If the sorority housing proposal were adopted, a • greater distinc tion than now exists between sor ority and non-sorority women would be created. And yet at the same time, opportunity would not exist for all eligible women stu dents to affiliate with a Greek group. - Bringing more sororities onto campus is not feasible. Hence the only solution would seem to be raising the membership quota for present sororities. If the quota were raised to let us say 75, and (Continued on page eight) Tonight on WDFM 25 -_______ :30 Starlight Serenade :30 _ :15 News .and Sports :30 ------__ The Master's Palette :00 ___ Dorsey Interview :30 Sign Off MEIN :30 IMMEI Hi-Fi Open House Sign Ott 00 _.
