Food service does have a pzoblem pleasing everyone in its choice of menus, but its standards of service should re main constant and be beyond reproach. So far this semester we feel that some of the service lias fallen below the standards that ought to be maintained. In the morning wnen students are more rushed than at any other time during the day they like to be able to get their breakfast promptly. In both Atherton and McAllister Ilalis we are told that lines move slowly in the morning. We told Mildred A. Baker, director of food service that we had heard these complaints repeatedly and asked her what could be the cause ol slowness in the lines. Miss Baker said that at the beginning of the year both old and new students had to get back into the routine of handing trays quickly and efficiently and that these adjustments look lime. She also said that particularly during the fall semester students often moved more slowly through the cafeteria lines because their al tenion was distracted by the sight of friends they had not seen since last semester and ihey spent time renewing these friendships. Miss Baker also said that the food service had made studies of cafeteria lines and found that some meals were served more slowly than others. As an example she cited the days that soup is served at the noon meals, and said that students are cautious about lifting a soup bowl from the counter to their trays and slow down the line in their care. While Miss Baker may have some points to her argument we wondered jf tn the case of McAllister Hall particularly the use of two lines at the breakfast meal wouldn’t be the answer to the students getting their breakfast more quickly. Investigation of supply versus demand for waiter jobs in the dining halls did show that there were more jobs than there were waiters to fill them. John J. Huber, assistant in the Uni versity Placement Service, said that more fra ternities have applied for waiters through the employment office this year than ever have in the past. This would seem to indicate that the waiter supply is particularly limited this year. Huber also said that many students found that they had to leave waiter jobs because their academic load was too great to allow them to give so much time to a job. Discarding this idea we thought of one other suggestion that might help to speed the line in McAllister Hall. We have noticed that the waiters fill each beverage order individually, and wondered why they couldn't keep filling cups of coffee, tea. and cocoa as quickly as possible and placing them on the counter as long as the cafeteria line was solid. We realize that they may have been told that students like to have their drinks served hot and were probably taking extra care to see that everyone was satisfied, but we feel Parking Comment TO THE EDITOR: At last the University has made known by wav of Dr. Walker’s comments in Wednesday's Collegian, its real intentions in dealing with the parking problem. Dr. Walk er’s admission that all student automobiles will be banned need not, however, be particularly disappointing in view of his further suggestion that peripheral parking lots might be made available enabling students to drive between home and the University. Certainly Dr. Walker's outright and honest approach to this problem is much better than the evasion and doubletalk that students re- CEIIMAN CLUB. INTEftI.ANDIA DANCE CLUB. 7:10 n m.

PENNSYLVANIA DAVE RICHARDS, Business ‘Manager od Service that lhe beverages would be hot if the line was continuous. The other system would be more adaptable if there were long breaks in the line. Miss Baker said that anyone who picked up a cold cup of coffee, tea. and cocoa had the right <o ask for a warm one in place of it. We have also received reports that the dining hall in Atherton opens late in the mornings. We asked Miss Baker about this and she said that all of the dining halls operate on radio time, and it was possio'.e that students had set their wristwatches and clocks by Old Main’s chimes making their conception of time dif ferent from that of dining commons. Some stu dents seem to feel that dormitory and dining hall clocks should be governed-by Old Main time, but we understand that atmospheric con ditions make the towers time variable and that such a system' would require rather frequent changing of the electric clocks in the dormi tories. When we asked Miss Baker why dinner service in McAllister Hall had been slow par ticularly on Friday nights she said that she was not aware of this and would do everything possible to see that students were not further inconvenienced in this way. When the service has been late it seems to be because the supply of prepared food runs out after approximately half the dining hall is served. The dietician seems to know approximately haw many students to expect as just about the right number of tables have been closed, there fore it seems strange to us that the estimation of the right amount of food has not come closer to the amount required. One evening when the food supply did run out, the scalloped potatoes and scallops were noticeably undercooked when they finally did reach the students. We ap preciate the fact that the kitchen staff was probably trying to hurry the food to waiting students, but we also believe that these stu dents would like to wait a few moments longer to feel that their wait had at last reaped them some reward. We also feel that when special food such as pancakes or french toast is a part of the break fast menu on weekends it should be prepared in sufficient quantity to last from 7:20 until 3:00 or 9:30 rather than for only the first 20 minutes that the dining halls are open. So few students eat breakfast on Saturday and Sunday that we feel the foods budget could stand the slight added expense. If sufficient facts and figures can be presented to show that the bud get will not stand this expense we feel that food service should definitely pinpoint and publi cize the time limit in which these foods will be served as this has never been very clear and is subject to vary from one dining hall to another. Miss Baker and her large staff have a com plicated task to perform; they have more stu dent contacts per day than practically any other organization; Miss Baker said that food service wants these contacts to be pleasant; and we can assure her that the students share her desires. Therefore, we hope that the students understand Miss Baker's problems and that she will be willing to listen to the problems of the students. Carole Gibson Valve ceived last year from the administration. With such a show of good faith on Dr. Walker’s part the way is now paved for effective action on the part of All-University Cabinet to imple ment his suggestion. Last year this same suggestion of peripheral parking lots was rejected by All-University Cabinet as a result of certain private concerns m campus politics. Now, however, these politi cal considerations need no longer bind Cabinet or pur All-Universitv president. The way is clear for student government to begin work along the lines suggested by Dr. Walker and contribute to the solution of a really important problem at Penn State.

M. ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst One thing about Adlai Stevenson and the H-bomb, he has made the Republicans accept a campaign issue where none grew before. Just how much impact the dispute is having on voters, none can. tell. But where the American public had appeared to be the world’s least interested people, at least a few letters to the editors are beginning to ap-, pear over the country. I Stevenson’s statement of his ideas on the subject are still open to dual interpretation. Either he is proposing to stop American bomb tests and ask others to join, or he is proposing to initiate ne gotiations looking toward an agreement for simultaneous stop page. In either case. Stevenson would rely on scientific detec tive methods to preserve Amer ica's safety in the case of a re sumption of tests by others. A lot of people who know little or nothing about it are arguing over whether this would be safe. Some of the facts may be cleared up by an official government statement next week. However, in view of the traditional secrecy— much of it necessary—about nu clear matters, perhaps it is doubt ful whether the public will be given enough information to form an intelligent opinion. Stevenson has said that if elected he .would seek an agree ment with Russia lo ban the tests. An agreement might be reached quickly—provided Rus sia sticks lo her public state ments that she is ready lo enter such a pact. The question would then re volve around the efficacy of American safeguards against Rus sian violation. Russia is not noted for keeping her political con tracts. Her ideology teaches her to make or break them as her self-interest dictates. If, as some contend though why they should know is not clear—all explosions may not be detected, any slackening in America’s drive to retain super iority would be a precarious thing. And if Moscow did not keep its word, the agreement might prove lo have been precarious —if it had encouraged a feel ing among the’ Western peoples that they could rest on their defensive oars. There is a degree of this feeling already, causing worry among the authorities responsible for main taining Western defenses. Con cern about it has been expressed at this week's NATO meeting. Relief from the fear of fall-out would be a great thing for people everywhere. For America to take the initiative would enhance her FRIDAY. OCTOBER 19. 1956 political standing among the neu tral nations. But the experts of both the British atvd American govern ments have decided that it is impossible at this stage of the game, The British arrived at their decision independently, and under far greater pressure from .public opinion than the Washington administration has ever faced. Since everybody wishes the tests could be stopped, it is very difficult for the lay mind to go behind these decisions. Prof Predicts Business Boom Will Decline Strong undercurrents are de veloping today indicating that the present rate of business momen tum cannot be sustained very far into 1957, according to David H. McKinley, professor of banking and assistant dean of the College of Business Administration. McKinley, in making this fore cast, was pessimistic about pros pects for the third and fourth quarters of next year, and em phasized that his prediction was without reference to the presiden tial election. ' Boom Is Longest “The present boom,” he said, “is the longest in American his tory, extending over a period since 1940. It continued in i 956 with population rising and vast capital expansion.” McKinley explained the twin dangers threatening this boom are over-expansion of credit and inflation. “Wholesale and consum er prices are breaking away from the indirect pressures placed on them by the Federal Reserve and Treasury authorities,” he said. McKinley Warns Bankers Noting that the vast expansion of credit has resulted in the li quidation by banks of govern ment securities, McKinley warned bankers that such tactics lead in evitably to a deterioration in the quality of bank assets. Every possible safeguard should be trot ted out and put stubbornly ■t® work,” he said.
