Dog's Tale Seek Teeth THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Hour Shifts Said to Irk Custodians Shifting custodians from day time work to the physical plant nighttime shift has made it im possible for workers to provide' the essential services needed for] efficient classroom teaching, Mar-! cellus McClellan, a University] custodian, said yesterday. J According to McClellan, who is president of District 50 of the United Mine Workers of Ameri [ca, he has received service com plaints from many faculty mem bers, especially about the poor j visibility of blackboards which I are now washed only once a day. j A July 1 cutback of from 34 to 112 workers on the daytime shift meant that lecture room boards which previously were washed after every class are now cleaned only twice daily, McClellan said. He added that in large classrooms it becomes very difficult to read from the board by the end of the day. McClellan said the union hadj discussed the problem with the physical plant before the cutback was made. Since two custodians are now assigned from six to nine build ings, additional problems have re sulted from the cutback. On icy days, he said, it is practically im possible to spread sawdust and open all the buildings before classes start. McClellan said cus todians begin work at 6 a.m. end must open all the lecture rooms and check all classroom doors before 8 a.m. Timetables Are Available Far Summer Sessions Students may pick up timetables for the summer sessions at the offices of the deans, the schedul ing office and the office of sum mer sessions.

Mean while, Council will draw up an ordinance with a barking dog clause. However, Dorneman said, whe ther or not the dog’s barking can be considered a public nuisance, must be determined by the radius in which the dog can be heard. «:W .

These devices are not the result of a desire for privacy, but of attempts to raise the temperature in some of the rooma of the new dormitories. • The chilling winds of the cold front have found their way into the rooms on the northern side, causing the temperatures to drop 5 to 8 degrees below what it is on the southern side. The rooms on ih* southern tide are not similarly affected because the wind, blowing con zisianny from the north, hits the building only on that side which receives very little sun light during the winter months. Custodians m the dormitories attribute the entry of the cold to the walls of the building—only one 8-inch concrete block and one brick separate these rooms from the elements. Those coeds who are so lucky to have rooms located on a corner find their habitat has even more resemblance to an igloo because they have two outside walls. The cooling process in all tha rooms is aided by the presence of cracks around the window frames. These, in addition to admitting all the cold air per mit fine clay silt from the con struction across the street to enter the rooms and settle in layers upon the Window sills. These chilly rooms, besides stimulating wide-awake study, have aided in the development of some original fashions. Cos tumes range from coeds wearing 2 or 3 sweaters and pairs of socks to others using the study lounge, a corner room, attired in coats and gloves.
