Effective Sunday, March 11, 1956 The University Creamery Salesroom from 11:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. offer the "essentials" of a bal anced meal at a "reasonable price." Although she did not explain the exact menu of "plate special" Miss Baker indicated it probably would include a main dish, vege table, and a beverage. A "student special" differs from a "plate special," Miss Bak er said, in that a student special contains extras of bread, and juice or salad and dessert. Cole, in the interview, pointed out differences between prices in the dining room and the Lion's Den on certain items. If any dis crepancies exist., Miss Baker re plied, the food service wilt rem edy the situation. Operates at Cost The food service operates at cost, she said. Food prices depend upon initial cost of food, she said, and wages paid to employees. Cole reported prices on juices, and ice cream were lowered in the dining hall at the evening meal last night. Although the price drop came just two hours after Cole and Emerick spoke with Miss Baker, she indicated last night that any food price change is unknown to her. Such a change, she said, would be merely routine. Food prices in the dining room are constantly changing, she added. Welcomes Help In. the interview. Miss Baker indicated her willingness to have a committee from TIM or other interested groups aid her to alle viate food service problems. The question of food prices in the HUB was brought up by Cole Wednesday night, at a TIM meet ing. Cole appointed a committee of two consisting of himself and Emerick to investigate the situa tion following discussion which centered around milk prices. Lion Plank Denied— (Continued from page one) trot, read to the Lion clique mem bers and the Committee a state ment made yesterday by Wilmer F. Kenworthy, Director of Stu dent Affairs. Kenworthy said, "There will be no book store on campus in the immediate future. Anyone who says differently will be mislead ing the students. A new book store would involve a state insti tution going into competition with free enterprise (State College merchants)." Before the final vote was taken, Hood summarized the feelings of the Book Exchange representa tives by saying, "Let the Lion party stick to politics and the Book Exchange will ..tick to sell ing bluebooks." Spadaro said "This issue shouldi be part of the Lion party plat form because it affects the stu-1 dents' pocketbooks. The issue to night is not to prove the Book! Exchange's case but rather to disH prove Lion party's. We will ,re-, vise our platform to ask for a! modification of the Book Ex-i change--not a new book store butt a non-profit one. This valid plank! deserves a place on our platform."; Storm Damage Slight Only slight damage was done to University property by the storm Wednesday night and early yesterday morning. will be open Sundays THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA -' -" West Halls' Constitution Amended The West Halls council has passed an amendment to the As sociation of Independent Men's constitution concerning the im peachment of members of the AIM board of governors. Under the proposed amend ment, a member of the board of governors can be impeached by a vote of three-fourths of the board. According to the AIM constitu tion as it now stands, "Impeach ment proceedings against a mem ber of the board of- governors must be brought before the entire voting membership of AIM' Loophole Present John Carlson, president of the West Hails council, pointed out that through a loophole in the constitution, impeachment pro ceedings against a member could be halted if any member of the board of governors absented him self from the proceedings. The amendment must be ap proved by three of the four AIM councils at two successive meet ings before it can be written into the constitution. During the meeting, Carlson gave a report from the food com mittee. He said he had talked with Otto Mueller, director of housing, concerning the place ment of candy and soda vending machines throughout the West Halls area. Now in Thompson Such machines are presently located in Thompson hall. Ac cording to Mueller, Carlson said, the machines were placed throughout the area during the summer months when the snack bar located in Waring Hall was closed.

MARCH 9. 1956 Convention Held by ICG Hell Week (Continued from pane one) veterans returning to the Univer sity, looked upon Hell Week as a childish practice. One again, Hell Week began to fade out, and pledges undertook civic improve ment programs during Hell Week. Public Displays Outlawed Public nuisance displays, pre viously characteristic of Hell Week, were outlawed by the IFC in 1949. Such practices as mis sions to dorms, and weirdly garbed pledges cavorting in the down-town areas were considered a disgrace to the fraternity sys tems by the IFC. Hell Week tended to revert to previous extremes as the Univer sity became more and more in undated with a younger brand of student, fresh out of high school. As college life reverted to pre war normalcy, there was a stron ger feeling in favor of a harsher Hell Week. The IFC attempted to halt the movement by levying fines on fraternities permitting detrimental Hell Week activities, according to 1951 Collegians. Bullock Comments Robert Bullock, IFC president, commenting on Hell Week prac tices, said there has been a grad ual evolution of a more grown up treatment in progress since he has been a student at the University. Hell Week in some instances has been carried out between semes ters in order that the so called derogatory influence on scholar ship would be removed. Want a New Candy Treat?
