Walk to Breakfast
Protested by Coed
TO THE EDITOR: No doubt Food
Service has perfectly valid rea
sons for not opening Redifer, its
brand •new fully-equipped dining
hall next semester. They may be
even more than justified in asking
students to walk three-fourths of
a -mile or more for their break
fast, who knows!
I question the wisdom, how
ever, of assigning the girls in
the most distant of the new
dormitories to eat in Atherton
and Mac Allister Halls. while
the girls in the dorms closest to
the campus are being assigned
to Simmons and McElwain.

Pros and Cons
Of Waring Party
TO THE EDITOR: Friday you
published a letter (by Jeffrey Pol-:
tack) which condemned the West'
Hall council for the Christmas
Party fiasco. We wish to extend
our thanks to the writer for saying
something which had to be said.
Yet we, with what might be
termed apathy thought only to
mumble to ourselves and forget
the miserable matter.
It should not be forgotten. For
getting disappointments an d
failures is what causes this type
of apathy. . -
It is our belief that bctter plan
ning could have been used to in
sure a larger turnout of girls. Mix
ers and socials are lots of fun, but
only when held with girls.

TO THE EDITOR: In reference to
the letter of Mr. Pollack, pub
lished in this column on Decem
ber 13, we feel that a few items
are in need of clarification.
The purpose of the West Halls
Council is to provide a place for
students, including Mr. Pollack,
to present and air their gripes.
All council meetings are always;
open to the public. Students be-1

'Fishburn Wrong,

!TO THE EDITOR: Thursday night,
I was, for the first time, actually
a part of the student body of Penn
State. lam ashamed to say it. '
Thursday, at the University
Senate special meeting which
Was called to discuss proposed
calendar revisions, Peter Fish
burn, student representative on
the Senate calendar committee,
was to give a report to the Sen
ate regarding the students'
viewpoint on revising the pres
ent calendar.
But Mr s . Fishburn did not do
this. Instead he very bluntly an
nounced that the students had no
viewpoint! Certainly, the distin
guished Senators got a chuckle
out of this, but just who were
they laughing at, Mr. Fishburn or
the entire student body? It was
implied that the students simply
didn't care and actually had no
opinion whatsoever.
Well, you're wrong. Mr. Fish• I
