Hotel Greeters Plan 2d Buffet Supper The second in a series of buffet suppers sponsored by the Hotel Greeters Association will be held from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. tomorrow in the Maple Room cafeteria of the Home Eco nomics Building. The supper, open to the public, will feature a main course of top sirloin of beef. Two weeks ago, the Hotel Greeters Association sponsored a buffet supper which featured var ious kinds of foods as they are prepared in different sections of the United States. For the price of $1.50, a cus tomer was offered as much as he could eat of dishes such as: sukiyaki, a Japanese national food consisting of vegetables over rice; southern fried chicken; Pennsyl vania potato stuffing; New Eng land style seafood newberg; Mid west chef's salad; Pennsylvania Dutch sweet and sour green beans; New England cranberry muffins; West Coat fruit bowl; and New England Indian pudding with ice cream. The ingredients for each of these dishes, prepared accord ing to authentic recipes, were purchased and cooked by stu dents in hotel administration who were also responsible for serving the finished product. The buffet was the first of its kind ever sponsored by the Hotel Greeters Association. According to Bernard Hudanick, senior in hotel administration from Si.voy ersville, corresponding secretary of the Hotel Greeters Agsociation, the main purpose of the buffet was to raise money. The affair also served as a means of adver tising the hotel administration curriculum, which is not very well known on campus, Hudanick said. Tickets for th i s week's supper nay be purch..sed for $1.50 from any stud nt enrolled in VERN THE MAPLE ROOM hotel administration, or in the hotel administration office lo• cated on the ground floor of the Home Economics Building, A buffet featuring international dishes may be held at some tine in the future, Hudanick said. Theatre to Give Farce-Comedy An unusual farce-comedy, "Par tition," by Morton Levy, senior in arts and letters from Hazleton, will be presented at 5 O'Clock Theatre Tuesday. The play takes place in the rest rooms of a British railway station. It tells how Cockney janitors, Dowdie and Henry, help patch up a broken love affair be tween two young people in a humorous, and sometimes risque, fashion. The comedy gets its name from a partition set in the center of the stage, separating the two rest rooms. The cast includes Marlene Ben singer. Sherry Gennel, Joseph Servello and William Bennett. Richard Mazza is director. The setting, costumes and lights will be simple and stylized with the use of a new color experiment. A script-in-hand technique will be used. The play will be presented in the Little Theatre, basement of Old Main. There is no admission charge. .'S I RN RESTAURANT Have You Tried TAVERN PIZZA OLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE.

According to Hosier, the $98,600 grant from the National Science Foundation should last for three years, but if progress is being made and additional funds are re quired they will probably be granted. The Army Signal Corps also has shown considerable in terest in this project and might provide financial aid if it is re quested. he added. Through the woo . -mitili Looking Glass I had the most beautiful dream last night. It was the weekend of the IFC ball and the wea ther was NICE! But, alas and alack, 'twas only a dream If you walked through the mud and slush last night to flee Hall in your plastic slippers, you'd be more likely to call the whole thing a nightmare SAY, WHILE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT WEATHER, and who isn't these days, Ethel has umbrellas by the dozen. If you like the long, slim type (of umbrellas, that is), you'll find them in colors ranging from lavender to pumpkin. Then again, if you prefer the small folding var iety, Ethel has this type, too. Of course, these aren't as ef fective for fighting your way through the mob on the steps of Boucke—but you can't have everything. TO AVOID THAT HAGGARD FEELING at the end of a long trip, don't leave all the driving to us. No, just have yourself much fuss and trouble in the pack ing process and buy a tote-all bag These small plastic, zip per-bound bags are equipped with a toothbrush holder, two _Plastic bottles, two cold cream jars and a hair pin box. PAMPERED YOURSELF LATELY? If you haven't, get a move on clown to Ethel's and pick up a pastel colored dusting mit. Great for after bath time, these mits hold your favorite dusting powder which allow the powder to filter through. Only Ethel's dusting mits have 20,000 tiny filter traps.
