*Food' Problems Grow
After wc-cks of discussion and circulating pe
titions, students in the Nittany-Pollock dorms
feel that solutions must be found :to the food
problem in the Nittany-Pollock dining area.
The dissension has not arisen over the quality
of food, but rather the quality. of service. The
problem, as seen by many' students, is chiefly
that there is insufficient time alloted for stu
dents to get through the service line, especially
during a lunch hour when students have both
eleven and one o'clock classes.
The dining hall is equipped to handle two
lines simultaneously, but Food Service has seen
fit to open one line only. Since the first week
of the semester the students, through their
dormitory counselors and later through Pollock
Council, have repeatedly asked Food Service
to open a second line. Food Service has an-
On Exam Schedules
The schedule for final exams, released yester
day, has provoked much dissatisfaction among
the student body. The chief complaint seems to
be the lack of a buffer day between the time
classes end and exams begin.
Fall semester classes end at 5 p.m. Wednes
day, Jan. 19. Exams begin at 8 a.m. Thursday,
Jan. 20.
In past years classes ended at noon on a
Saturday and, exams, although beginning the
same afternoon, fell mostly in the following
week. This left a full day, Sunday, during which
students could "collect their thoughts" and pre
pare themselves for the bulk of their tests.
While a single day certainly is not enough to
cover completely all the work assigned through
out the semester (as many students admittedly
expect to do), it does provide a relief that is
greatly needed by students, both psychologically
and practically.
This semester's exam schedule has been
spread over eight days. This is advantageous
to students and professors alike, for it does to
a great degree alleviate a maximum of con
flicts and overloaded individual schedules.
However, this time element will not compen
sate for the lack of a buffer day so far as stu
dents having exams during the first two or
three days of the schedule are concerned.
Little can be done about the schedule now.
But we would suggest that, if possible, the
scheduling office try next semester to provide
at least one day between class termination and
exams.
Safety Valve—
On Chapel Choir Tour
TO THE EDITOR: In Wednesday's (Daily Col
legian) article concerning the Chapel Choir tour
to Europe one important consideration was
omitted.
This
each
is being undertaken at the expense
of each individual involved. It is not backed by
any organization nor is it requiring the use of
Chapel or University funds. Parents of each
choir member were contacted and the student
and his family are assuming the financial obli
gations of the project.
The idea of. the project, started within the
membership of the choir and interest in it has
continued to grow. Unfortunately Wednesday's
story was published before the committee in
tended its release. As a result much had to be
omitted since plans are not yet complete.

swered by saying that if a second line is opened
the quality and quantity of the food will de
crease.
The students circulated a petition and pre
sented it to Food Service. Once again they met
with an abrupt answer. These incidents, com
bined with others such as running out of food
before all students have been served, have
provoked much dissatisfaction within the stu
dent body.
Judging from student complaints, it Would
seem that Food Service is paying no attention
to the students who patronize it in the Nittany-
Pollock area. If Food Service would he willing
to meet the students half-way, much of this
needless misunderstanding could be straightened
out.

The Wils erness
Every time we had• mentioned the University Health Service
in a group conversation, someone would invariably either spit on
the ground or break into a cold sweat. We already knew what the
dispensary was like. Years of experience in these porticos of so
cialized medicine had hardened us and inured us against sneering
modern-day Florence Nightingal
Hippocrates.
Still, we were not prepared for
the infirmary, and when required
to go there, we were shocked.
The slowness, inaccurate treat
ment, and lack of reason so com
mon to the dispensary was noth
ing compared to the blundering,
calloused stupidity we found gen
enrally present in the infirmary.
The lack of judgment used in
admitting and releasing patients
would be outrageous in probably
any place but the University, but
here it is somcthing that has come
to be expected. It is common
knowledge that some students
later found to be seriously ill are
refused admittance to this so
called hospital, whereas others
with nothing more than a minor
disturbance are made to remain
there for several days.
We didn't mind being awakened
every hour far into the night to
take pills, but when we later
learned that these pills were ab
solutely needless for our trouble,
we could not help but be dis
gusted.
Because of a shortness of space
here it is impossible to illustrate
all the erroneous things that hap
pened while we were there, but
we find it hard to believe that any
worthwhile hospital could permit

es and fumbling descendants of
all of its nurses to leave the floor
for. approximately 30 minutes dur
ing mealtime.
Perhaps our judgment is biased
as it is the result of personal ex
perience, but we were later told
by a town doctor that our ailment
did not require any hospitaliza
tion nor in fact any special treat
ment at all.
When we reflect on the time
wasted in the clutches of these
supposed guardians of the health
and consider that we might have
deprived someone actually sick of
a place, we cannot understand
how such goings-on can be al
lowed. How is a student to tell
if he is ill nor not when his only
source of information is the hir
lings of an inconsistant group with
haphazard standards?
