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

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE. 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?

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. "Give or forever remember your 1.8. M.
card."

'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.

Schwab Auditorium, comes here
from a recent Carnegie Hall per
formance. 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.
