Mac Hall Food Service Poor Inconsistency in menus and long lines seem to be the recent trend for food service in Mac- Allister Hall. The situation this past Sunday night was so bad that over 100 women students were chanting "we want two lines." This we consider an indica tion of a poorly-handled situation. Women stu dents are not ordinarily demonstrative when situations displease them. The issue started at lunch Saturday when several girls had to wait over one-half hour for their food because the cafeteria was out of ham burgers. Several people were late in meeting people to go to the football game because of this incident. We feel that the people running the cafeteria could have expected a goodly number of stu dents for lunch on the day of the last home game. We feel that it was unnecessary for them to run out of food at this time. It certainly showed poor planning on the part of the Mac Hall dietician. The incident which really brought the situa tion to the fore in the students' minds, occurred Sunday night. At this time the dietician decided to use only one of the two lines. As a result Give Hungary a Christmas TO THE EDITOR: In a world which is in such tension and distress, we, as students, have much for which to be thankful; for we are privileged to live in a country of the four basic freedoms. However, we also have much with which to be concerned. There are students and their fam ilies and friends in the world today which will never be together again, will not have warm clothes to wear, food to eat, or any shelter in which to sleep. Their homes are now rubble and many thousands have been - unmercif.illy massa cred. The food supply is almost nor. -existent making starvation imminent if the situation isn't relieved, and winter is moving upon these courageous people who are short of fuel and of warm clothes. In these valiant people the spark of freedom deep within their being glows bright er than ever: to them freedom is worth the ulti mate sacrifice of their lives. Our country was founded to provide a haven for those persecuted for religious and political views. We should be champions of the cause of freedom throughout the world; are we going to Unethical Soliciting TO THE EDITOR: It has come to the attention of the members of our dormitory that the ad ministration has adapted a new policy pertain ing to the collection of charity funds. Needless to say, we object most strenuously to the proced ure adopted. A member of our dorm walked into his room this afternoon and found an envelope contain ing 42 1.8. M. forms each containing the names of his friends. This envelope also contained sug gestions on how to solicit from these friends. He was told to tell these boys that their dona tions would be put on their permanent records. Is this any way to solicit funds, and especially charitable funds? Are we being led to believe that if we do not give, and give generously, th at . this factor might have bearing as to our standing with the University officials? Is this the true spirit of a charitable campaign? It is hard to believe that the originator of this campaign is one of the gentlemen who governs our student body. If the body shows a poor in terest, financially, in this charity then far be it from us to criticize those who might criticize us. But to solicit funds in a threatening man ner is one of the most undemocratic methods, in a college of supposedly democratic-minded .• • • • „.... . cf.w,- r‘ - goas , Everyone will be leav ingso have your fare well parties tonight ...

PENNSYLVANIA DAVE RICHA.RDS, Business Manager there were a great number of students who waited as long as 40 minutes. This is unneces sary. We heard that only 150 women were expected and 350 showed up for this meal. From the situation this was obviously true. Even more un popular than the long wait was the change in menu for the last 50 students. Missing from the original menu was bacon, for bacon lettuce and tomato sandwiches, salad, cake, and coffee. Is it the right of the dietician while trying to save a few dollars to deprive many students of a good part of their dinner. We say it is not! The dietician showed poor planning in that she could have known there would be a large turnout for the dinner when a popular menu was put forth. Also, how many students would leave campus the weekend of the last home' game, or on the weekend right before a vacation? We think a small number only. We suggest that the Mac Hall dietician plan her meals a little-more carefully. The women who eat there have every right to complain as - they are if the situation persists. Valve let down our fellow students and friends in Hungary? We live in a land that has peace and pros perity, a land that has never suffered the whole sale destruction and resulting desolation from the armies of foreign powers. When we sit down with our families at Thanksgiving dinners let us not only be deeply thankful to the Great Provider but determine in ourselves that we who have so much will gratefully share our abundance by backing our Hungarian friends with financial aid and support. Instead of devoting our time and efforts toward lengthening the Christmas holiday, our concern would certainly be more rewarded if we devoted our efforts toward giving someone else a seinblance of Christmas. We of Alpha Phi Omega strongly urge the University and town in entering into the true Christmas spirit of giving and sharing by con tributing both clothes and money towards giving our freedom loving friends of Hungary a real Christmas. Expensive Butter TO THE EDITOR: Why is it that our non profit (?) cafeteria in the HUB charges so much for a small square of butter? One pound of but ter yields 90 such squares. At the currently ridiculous price of three cents each, we see that a pound of ready-to-sell butter costs students $2.70. Even by the most conservative estimates, the cafeteria makes 200 per cent profit on this one item. There seems to be no reason why a cent a square should not be sufficient to cover costs. We come to one conclusion—a price revision is in order here. How about it, Food Service? —Robert Baskwell Robert Reeder Earl Freeman students, that we could ever dream of. We are all quite sure that a Chest Drive will not erase ' the name f Penn State University from the list of accredited colleges in the United States. The slogan, - Give from the Heart," can never be overlooked in a charity of this type. Ap parently, the Penn State governing body dis agrees with this and has substituted instead the slogan.

According to Moyle 'Alarm'-ing Conftision Students in Hamilton Hall were really coming and going Sunday night amidst a near-panty raid and ringing fire alarms. Despite the fact that no fire drill was scheduled, the fire alarm system was set off on two separate occasions. Further adding to the confusion was the fact that some of the counselors after -the first false alarm sent students back into the courtyard on the second alarm, convinced that this was the "real thing?' However, upon reaching the courtyard they were told to get back into the dormitory by no one less than the counselor co ordinator of the West Halls. We dread to see this fire alarm system in action when a fire breaks out. With all this ringing of fire alarms as "jokes" dormi tory students are going to be in stilled with a lackadaisical atti tude and they may find them selves lying in bed while the dorm is in flames. With all these revolutions in Europe and the Middle East it seems as if Penn State is trying to get into the act, too. We've already mentioned the trouble on Ag Hill involving the threats made toward the Ag Council president. Well, it seems that Lash Howes, president of the Association of Independent Men, has been finding clever, little notes pinned to the door of his office in the HUB. The notes in clude threats of impeachment and requests for "gripe sessious." No body's safe these days.

The New York Times review of the concert praised the orchestra and its conductor, Wil liam Steinburg, very highly. A new twist to the Christmas vacation question has come up. It seems that one of the reasons for shortening the vacation was to accommodate certain labora tory courses which had to get in a minimum of 15 labs to be certified. Also, a calendar' committee member has admitted that the problem of traveling on a holiday was completely overlooked when the committee shortened the vaca tion. They must have really been looking the other way to have overlooked a point like this.
