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—

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.";

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.
At the beginning of the fall se
mester, the food service commit
tee ordered the machines re
moved from the dorms, Carlson
said. The vending machines were
left in Thompson.

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.
