Gc.rbdo'e'.Pail, We
We commend 'the Department of Food , and
Housing on its new ; policy of providing second help
ings of all food served in the'dining halls. '
It certainly is an indication of the department's
understanding of the needs of growing, active stu
dents, when it allows students to fill their stomachs
—if there is enough food left!
We also find amusing the stipulation that stu
dents can take a second helping only if they intend
to eat it.
Evidently they j think that if they don't make
this stipulation, students will take seconds of mashed
potatoes to patch up cracks in the l walls4
But something really ought to be done about the
first helpings, too.
We don't care on what authority dormitory food
has been deemed adequate for subsistance,
Nye don't care by what standards food is selected
and purchased.
- .We ' don't care what expert dreamed up the
,
men us.
• Dormitory food is bad. It is better in some dorms
than in others.
But nevertheless, it is bad.
And when a, person can't tell the difference
between the roast lamb and the mint Jelly on his
plate because they are both green and silmy, when
the Savory. Noodle Goulash tastes like dog food,

LETTER POLICY
What's there?
...7ite ;Dairy Collegian,
BUSINESS CANDIDATE
when the roast beef can be used to resole an old pair
•of shoes, when students who have third period classes
get less food than those who can make it to lunch
earlier and when non-Churehgoers have to wake up
to, fried chicken on Sundays then it Is time for Mu-,
dents to raise their voices in protest.
Students have actively and effectively protested
the food situation on other University campuses
around the country in recent months.
Various protest methods have been employed—
including dumping food-laden trays onto dining hall
floors.
This of course is a rather radical practice, and
one which the Collegian does not advocate.
We urge you to remember that willful destruc
tion of University property is illegal.
But there are other, equally effective, means of
protest whereby plates and glasses need not be
broken.
For one, students can dump Just their food—
before or after it is eaten—onto the floor.
We pay 'for our food; this year, we are paying
more than ever for it.
We have. a right to insist that it be healthful,
palatable and digestible.
The Collegian is not convinced that institution
food need of necessity be as bad as it is here. '
TO THE EDITOR: The front page of your October 4 edi
tion of the Collegian carried an intriguing bit of writing
entitled: "Art Controversary Rages". Aside from the title
itself, it would'seem that the article did little to actually
represent anything more than the biased
. opinion •of its
writer.
The article gives the impression that Tom Cooper,
assistant West Halls coordinator, took possession of two
students' I.D. cards simply because of their involvement
in the so-called protest against the. new art work in the
West Halls quadrangle. This was not the case. Despite the
impression presented by the article, Mr. Cooper's. acted
with restraint in this 'situation and he should be com
mended for it.
• The- article also gave the impression that a, crowd
of about one hundred people assembled before the art
work was there primarily to protest its presence in the
quadrangle. Having been there at the time we do net
feel that this was true. Many in the crowd were merely
there to see what the fuss was all about and, did not pro
test anything. If anything, the art work proved itself to
be - a-boon to social life within the West Halls area. Rarely
has the West Halls area witnessed such a shoir of fellow
ship.
In the future we feel that the author should give
us more facts and less secondhand resumes.

Artist's Purpose Fulfilled
TO THE EDITOR: By applying Goethe's guide lines for
criticism, I rate the new welding sculpture in the West
Halls quadrangle a tremendous success.
What was the artist's purpose? Judging by the re
sponse I believe that the artist's intention was to initiate
conversation and to inspire the residents of t West Halls
to new heights of creativity in the arts of sly comments,

quick quips and graffitti. I
How did the artist go about accomplishing this pun
pose?•His media was to piaci on a pedestal a poorly de
signed metal structure that is incongruous with the West
Halls style of architecture.
Was it "worth doing? Anything that breaks the ice
and enables a group of students to get together in humor
ous conversation is extremely valuable.

Best of the Old and New
TO THE EDITOR: The recent "sculpture contro
versy" raises some pertinent questions that not only
have not been raised as of yet, but which also extend
beyond that of merely objecting to the appropriate
ness of a piece of art.
To, begin with, the controversy seems to center
around the fact that West Halls, is old and this piece
of sculpture is new. Well..students. I urge you ;to re
main true to your reactionary tendencies, and have
your committee bin all. rock music (Beatles, especial
lyl) from your dorm complex and castigate all-coeds
who dare wear mini skirts(' Why stop at sculpture,
I ask? , •
Secondly, there may have been reasons for ob
pecting to this particular piece of sculpture, but I
don't remember ever having heard them mentioned.
Some of you could have said, "It's not original, it's a
copy of a David Smith. Let's have an original work
at least." But you didn't. (Who's David Smith?)
Some of you could have said, "We want a voice
in choosing what sculpture will be pla'ced in the area
where we live." But instead, you talk4d of tearing it
down.
Ironically, you didn't even have enough initia-

tive to go ahead with that; you merely turned over
your matric cards and continued to let life be dic
tated to you. (Is it worth risking your college career?)
Finally, and most importantly, art is,riot created
to make up pait of a decor. It is a living creatiop
which stands by itself and must be fudged by itself.
Any attempts to speik of it in a .utilitarian sense
merely serves to reval a lack of knowledge of what
art is all about. Most of the students who protested
this piece of sculptUre,probably think of sculpture in
terns of the Venus dip Milo or the Statue of Liberty.
and from the looks of thing, will continue to do so.
The University (citing their democratic petition)
shall probably give in to their request and art shall
humbly bow out of stately West Halls, leaving the
inhabitants to study, undistracted, for their chosen
professions and the ensuing lucrative financial re
wards given to college graduates.
Eyeing the Emperor's Thumb
TO THE EDITOR: I can tell by the flurry of words that
the political arena is once more being prepared for the
noble gladiators. There is promise of an exciting contest
this year; for the participants are well 'versed in the
nature of the competition.
The emperor from his perch high above, will preside
over the spectacle upon which the eyes of the spectators
are so intently fixed. The eyes of th"gladiators, however,
see only the emperor's thumb. All will be as tradition
teaches.
Let the games begin!
