Marine Invasion for Olympics
Fifty-two of the finest musicians in the land
will display their wares Thursday afternoon
and evening in Recreation Hall.
The Marine Band will give two concerts for
the benefit of the Olympic Fund and we are
slightly disturbed at the present condition of
ticket sales.
We realize that students are probably rapidly
tiring of being told to contribute to various
funds. They ale con,tantly asked how they can
possibly refuse worthy charities, such as the
hundred or so which come to the students each
year asking for funds.
So even if we are alarmed, students needn't
start writing letters of complaint to the editor.
We get alarmed about many things.
However, even if seeing a band concert isn't
a strict necessity such as donating to the Can
cer Fund or something similar, we' still think
many students are missing out on something
very enjoyable by not going to this concert.
It -cannot be because the event hasn't been
advertised well enough or because the sales
men haven't done their respective jobs effi
ciently. No matter where you go on campus or
downtown these days you caret miss seeing
something about the Marine Band.
And yet we hear that ticket sales are only
fair. It's not that they are discouragingly poor,
but the sales thus far are certainly nothing to
cheer about.
This Marine Band is a fine group of musicians.
They have regular radio shows. The band is the
Lions Serve in Lion's Den?
Are they lions or people behind the counter
in the Lion's Den?
From the attitudes of some of the food serv
ice pers,,nnel in the Lion's Den one might sup
pose that they hate the whole world, and have
a grudge against students in particular.
The impoliteness becomes even more obnox
ious when visitors are in line. On several oc
casions we have witnessed incidents where
visitors who were not familiar with the set up
were treated quite rudely, even to the point
of embarrassment.
Several of the members of the staff behind
the counter are new at the job. It seems that
new people are often put in during the busiest
hours. Not only are they inefficient, but they
also slow down the rest of the staff. Very few
of the staff members seem to be quick or ef
ficient.
We. feel that this is not entirely the fault
of the staff. It is caused to a great extent by
the system used in the Lion's Den.
The waiting line organization is extremely
poor. It leads to inefficiency. There are three
lines. One for drinks, one for sandwiches, and
one for coffee. Students and visitors often get
confused by this overdeveloped system.
The line system is also unfair. A person would
have to wait in three lines for milk, coffee, and
a sandwich. By this time he would deserve them
free. It should be set up so that a person could
order everything at one time.
The hne system also moves slowly in its pres-
Let 'Em Choke
TO THE EDITOR: In reference to Mr. David
McKinley and his answer to my diatribe on
the choice of the concert by the Pittsburgh
Symphony on Nov. 20:
My well-meaning friend appears to have
missed the gist of my argument. To me, his
reply was little more than an attempt to
rationalize a poor piece of judgment on the
part of the committee. I will give this a label:
unenlightened stodginess.
Why is it that the students appreciate only
music as familiar as Beethoven's Fifth? Is it
not because they will not listen to other music
or is it because they are not provided with an
opportunity to hear music? If this concert can
be listed under "culture at' Penn State" then I
think the committee was obligated to see that
we are advanced a little along the way musically
as well as being entertained.
Arthur Honegger at one time also confessed
that he was overcome with' envy after having
heard the Beethoven Symphonies two or three
hundred times. He adjured the American people
to listen to something new. And there have been
people like Koussevitsky. Whitney, and Stokow
ski. who have given a great part of their creative
lives to stamp out this stagnant, complacent at
titude on the part of hearers of music.
I think that even if the students did not vote
for this something else should have been shoved
down their throats. Many would have appreci
ated this but not until long after perhaps. My
own case attests to the reliability of such a pro
cedure. The rest need not be concerned with.

hower. We are sure that the concert which they
have planned will satisfy the listening tastes of
practically every kind of music lover—from
march to semi-claisical.
And of course, behind all this lies that group
which is going to receive the profits which the
sponsor. Sigma Chi, gets from the concert. The
United States Olympic Fund must certainly be
deemed "a worthy group?' We can be proud that
we are able to send a fine group of athletes from
our country who are always capable of making
a fine showing athletic-wise, who always win
respect from fellow-athletes for their personal
conduct while in other countries, and who are
yet not sponsored by the government in any
way. The American people have always sent
their team to Olympiads on their own hook, we
hope they will always be able to do this.
Without the help of everyone this will not
be possible.
Penn State has six representatives at this
year's Olympic games. This brings the U.S.
Olympic Fund even closer to home than usual.
We are sure that ticket sales will increase in
these last days of sale; the campaign will be
even more intensified and there will be tickets
available at the door on Thursday.
We hope that everyone who is interested in
giving the U.S. Olympic team a boost will go
to Rec Hall Thursday and catch some very fine
music at the same time.
ent condition. It seems to us that the method
used in the Waring Hall snack bar last year
could accommodate more students more quickly.
Other complaints have been voiced concern
ing the Lion's Den. Students claim that the
tables are not cleared as frequently as they
should be. Some say that you must clear your
ow•n table when you eat lunch there.
It would seem that the Lion's Den is under
staffed. We suggest that more help be hired.
Many students say that they do not buy any
thing when they are there sometimes because
the line is long and they must wait for ages.
Perhaps more help would pay off in more sales.
The fact that the Lion's Den is understaffed
is also evident by the number of orders which
get confused. This complaint is almost as fre
quent at She University as is the weather com
plaint.
The Lions Den is one of the mainstays of Uni
versity social life. A few dollars should not be
saved with its success as the price.
We think that food service makes enough
profits in many other places to cover what
they don't gain in the Lion's Den. Food service
should get more people to work in the snack
bar and encourage them to give quick courteous
service.
Efficiency in the "Den" would be greatly
improved if the present line system were dis
pensed with. .

Crowded Chapel
TO THE EDITOR: Last. Sunday, Nov. 11, there
was quite a large turn-out for Chapel service in
Schwab Auditorium; in fact, about 30 people
were turned away as there were no seats left.
Quite a few people were standing in the back
of the balcony and down in the lobby but those
in the balcony were politely told that it was
against regulations to stand there and they
would have to go downstairs.
The doors leading into the auditorium proper
from the lobby were closed so it was useless to
stay in the lobby if one wanted to stay there
and hear the service and perhaps take part in
the singing of hymns.
Wouldn't it have been possible to open the
doors so that the people who might have
wanted to stay could have, at least, listened
to the service?
It seems to us that if many people were in
terested enough to come to Chapel service,
some effort could have been made to let them
hear what was being said.

UN Gains Stature
In Egypt Cease-tire
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
Acceptance by all parties
. of the United Nations cease
fire solution in Egypt gives the organization a new standing
in the world.
Here was a situation involving an attack by two big
powers and one smaller on one small country which had
offered grievous provocation.
Britain and France, using the
Israeli invasion of Egypt as an
excuse, had intended to settle the
Suez Canal problem by force. In
the beginning, it was not expec
table they would retire without
doing so.
But public opinion, brought to
bear through the UN, was over
whelmingly disapproving, and
it appeari they will get out
without pressing their final ob
jective. They had created too
great a danger of general war.
Egypt:s acceptance of a UN po
lice force does not mean the crisis
is over. Too many details remain
to be settled. Russian aid for other
Arab countries could still set the
fuse for a general explosion. But
Russia, if she ever intended to'
send "volunteers" to Egypt, cant
hardly do so now that a period'
of transition seems begun.
This is not the first time the
UN has been able to avert or
delay critical actions.
But it is the first time it has
been able to organize a police
force which would be effective in
such a situation. The so-called
"police action" in Korea was
largely a case of the UN being
used as a vehicle for American
and allied policy. The United
States ran that show.
This time the UN is running
its own show, although with
strong American initiative - and
support.
In the beginning the founders'
of the UN envisioned the main
tenance of a permanent police
force of this nature, but larger,
able to react immediately and di
rectly against aggression.
The postwar conflict between
the great powers, who had been
expected to provide the backbone
of such a peace organization, pre
vented the police force just as it
prevented the making of any real
peace for the UN to keep.
Of course if even a shaky
peace is made in the Middle
East now it will not be pro
duced by the police force, but
by the body of public opinion
which sends it there. But the
force does offer a vehicle by
which France and Britain can
get out of a situation which
developed far greater danger
than they had expected.
And it does offer the possibility
—the precedent—for eventual de
velopment of the UN into the
power it originally expected to be.
