Music Festival Demise The Senate Committee on Student Affairs has just about erased all possibility of having a musical all-star revue as part of ihe 1957 Spring Week. This decision has left us with mixed emotions. Yesterday we evinced strong doubts on wheth er or not it would be wise to stage such a music festival. This was based mainly on two reasons: 1. It seemed that the Student Scholarship might be edged out of the profits of the show (Spring Week profits have traditionally gone to this fund.) 2. Until yesterday not very much con crete evidence had been presented as to the de tails of the show. We must agree, in part, with the Senate com mittee’s opinion that the festival would tend to overshadow the rest of Spring Week. In fact, this is one of the things which disturbed us about the original plan. Students would have been looking forward to the music festival in stead of to the rest of the events of Spring Week. It had been the intent of the Spring Week committee to have the proposed festival cut down on the time students would have to spend in making Spring Week a success. It is for this reason that the Senate Committee’s citing this as a bad feature struck us as being odd. Sidewalks Change Styles Penn Stale styles have changed—muddy shoes are the latest thing in footwear. This is prob ably not voluntary as splattered socks is prob ably not voluntary on the part of the students. The sidewalks were fixed in front of Mac- Allister Hall, but there are many other areas where the sidewalks have little or no drainage. Puddles and mud are seen all over campus on the many walkways. Although the weather man seems to be some what unkind to the Nittany Valley each winter, there seems to be little that -we humans can do to change this situation. Due to the poor weather the sidewalks are almost constantly a mess for several months of the year, but the University could do something to improve this very bad situation. Students constantly track mud and water into the dormitories and classroom buildings. They must be cleaned out each night, adding extra work for the janitors. It does not enhance Rec Hall Mystery TO THE EDITOR: Have you ever thought about the reason for paying a $2 deposit fee to secure a clothes basket in Recreation Hall? Well, I wonder whether you arrived at the same con clusion that I did. It has been my belief that the dressing room facilities in Recreation Hail were for the con venience of male students to change clothing and to store athletic equipment. This provision deserves high praise from the students using the Recreation Hall facilities as long as the ad ministration of the dressing room does its job conscientiously and efficiently. This, in my opinion, has not been the case. During the Fall semester I had been sched uled to take health education instead of physical education for the last eight-week period. For that reason I have had no necessity to use the dressing room during the last two months. However, when I returned to physical educa tion this semester I found that my clothes basket was noticeably damaged and my sports equipment had vanished. After making routine inquiries, I convinced myself that this evidence constituted outright theft. Is the University going to reimburse my personal loss of equipment? Most certainly not. Is the University responsible for safeguarding the sports equipment left in the dressing room? Most definitely. Being that my assigned clothes container is directly in front of the attendant’s window, I persume that the theft was accomplished at a time when no one was in attendance. If this be the case, then the doors of the dressing room should have been securely locked. B'NAI B'RITH HILLEL FOUNDATION. Sebbath Et, Service,. S p.tn.. Hlllel Foundation NEWS AND VIEWS MEETING.

PENNSYLVANIA DAVE RICHARDS, Business Manager Research and Records Mgr. In the Spring Week committee presentation it seemed as it the music festival would cut down on student lime spent in preparation. However, the Senate committee must have made a deeper investigation into just how much lime would be spent by everyone involved. We must remember also that the whole idea isn't dead just yet. Robert Krakoff, Spring Week chairman, will go before the Senate committee again with a “toned down’’ version of a festi val or with another alternative. The way things stand now, we would have to agree with the Senate committee. We weren't sure of the original “big name show" because there seemed to be too much risk on something which was too vague. However, we weren't in favor of killing an idea which would bring good publicity to the University along with a good show tor the enjoyment of the student body and others. The happy medium of a “toned down” show or a standard like the Fred Waring show (which has visited the University on several occasions) seems to be the best'thing right now. And if the Spring Week committee is trying only to stage something at which to give away their trophies maybe picking them up at the HUB desk wouldn’t be such a bad idea. —The Editor the appearance of the buildings. It could also very possibly be the case that cold wet feet tend to raise the percentage of colds which students suffer each year. In addition to the average size puddles which are sprinkled down the sidewalks, there are also several puddles which more closely resemble small lakes. Examples of lakes are the ones near Grange and Willard Halls. These small lakes leave students the choice of wading through.or sinking into mud which is several inches deep on the edges of the side walks. One of the worst features of the puddles and mud on the sidewalks is that it looks terrible and causes students to become messy and dirty. We feel that the conditions could be improved considerably and that a better system of drain age should be installed. The present situation is a bad inconvenience at best and should be remedied. Waiters Defended TO THE EDITOR: We are glad Miss Conklin has shown her appreciation of the privilege that has been accorded her of being permitted to eat in Waring Hall. However, we regret to hear that she has found fault with our waiters. After eating in Waring Hall for more than a semester, we have failed to notice the dis courtesies which were the topic of the editorial of Feb. 14. Could this have slipped our attention because the greater majority of us try to coma to the dining hall before closing time? Could it be that we have learned to follow the orders given by the head waiter because we realize he is only carrying out orders from his super visor? Also, some of us don't mind being separated from our friends for a few moments. We find that this is an excellent opportunity to meet new people. < Perhaps, Miss Conklin, if you would dine downtown you would find the waiters more courteous and not given to “Whispered com ments and “disgusting jokes.” We appreciate your attempt to solve our so called problems, but we haven’t found the situation so intolerable as you would like to have the rest of the Universtiy believe. —Melina Mazza, Dorothy Voelker. Diane Morrocco, Mary Lou Becker, Sue Sunderland 1 sincerely hope the administration of Rec reation Hall will take steps to correct this exist ing malfunction of security procedures in the men's dressing room.

"X like this course—it's so practical." Girl's Best Friend The New Yorker magazine is highly recommended as good reading for the student, but you’d have to own a money tree to take advantage of most of the advertising. In one ad, Tiffany and Co. suggests as a gift, a pendant necklace with graduated pear-shaped rubies radiating from two circles of round diamonds. This comes complete with a platinum setting for a modest $41,800 (including tax). If this is overstepping your budget, there’s always a simple gold bracelet accented with dia monds, for a mere $4400. Maybe they’d even consent to a student discount. Purchasing such trinkets as these wouldn’t be a strain on the pursestrings of King Saud, the richest man in the world. He gave away over $20,000 in tips during the first few days of his visit to the U.S. and takes in $1 million a day in oil royalties alone. It takes a lot of money to support a family today, especially one like his with 3d children, but one day’s salary would keep them in bubble gum and lollipops for at least a year. It makes me wonder why we should consider sending Amer ican dollars over there. Grad Salaries This year’s college graduates won’t be making a million a day, but the average starting salary for male ’57 grads is the highest on record $4OO a month a Northwestern University survey has shown. This is twice the aver age offered 10 years ago. The largest demand and highest pay will be for the engineer. This reminds me of a joke showing a grad still in cap and gown being whisked away at gunpoint by hooded characters and ending up in the personnel office of a corp oration. The caption read: “I hope you’ll excuse our rather unusual hiring policies.” According to the survey, 10,000 engineers , will be hired this year, 1500 accountants, 1100 chemists, 3800 -general sales workers and 1700 in general business training. Lost and Found Department Have you ever seen someone staring upward into space for no other reason than to see if. he can collect a crowd around him doing the same tiling? The other day a student was standing in front of Main Eng staring con centratedly at the ground. There was nothing at all to watch, but there he stood for five minutes. This student, however, was just hunting for a tooth that had popped out while he was laugh ing. Classes are well under way again and professors have made their views known on cutting. Most of them adhere to the three cut policy. In one class a profes sor, appealing to our mercenary side, said. Why cut? You’ve paid $5 for each class hour so why not take advantage of it? . FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 15. 1957 by Bibler >y evie onsa Kowalski Given West Hall Post Lawrence T. Kowalski, junior in arts and letters from Hazleton, has been appointed temporary vice president of West Halls Council until a permanent presi dent and vice president can be elected. The appointment was made nec essary by the placing of Daniel Thalimer, former president, on academic probation.

A committee would be set up to choose 15 men and 15 worn men to attend the dinner, de signed to promote student-faculty relationships. The dean of men’s office has approved the plan and will share half of the expenses up to $lOO, the council was told. A trophy was presented to Francis Fochler for having tha highest average in the West Halls area for the school year 1955-’56, His average was 3.94. Sittig's Post Given To Montgomery A new assistant dean of women, Agnes C. Montgomery, has re placed Helen Sittig. Miss Sittig plans to marry Glenn C. Nelson, Omaha, Neb- Feb. 23.
