Missed the holiday dinner in the dining
hall? Do not despair. There are still a
few places you can take your special
someone on Feb. 14,
The West Halls Residence Association
is sponsoring an after-dinner social for
Valentine’s Day. Association President
Dave Lutz said the Buffalo Chipkickers
will provide the entertainment for the
social. The event, to be held at 4:30 p.m.
in Waring Dining Hall C, is open to the
public, he said.
“The social isn’t really a dance-type
situation,” social .chairman Mike Ed
wards said. “It’s mostly just •to sit
around and talk.”
The residents of Pollock Halls are
celebrating the 14th with a Valentine’s
dance. Pollock Halls Residence
Association President Paul Gorgol said
a disc jockey will play records for the
dance, which will be held in the Pollock
rec room, probably from 9:30 to 11:30
p.m.
If you want to take your valentine out
on the town, there are a few restaurants
serving special menus for the occasion.
LaChaumiere will be serving three
special dinners for two.

cup of soup du jour, the entree and a
heart-shaped pastry for two,” Karen
McCreight, the restaurant’s/ manager,
said.' The three entrees, offered are
Chicken Cordon Bleu, Beef Wellington,
and Coquilles St. Jacques, which is
scallops and shrimp in butter. Mc-
Creight said each lady will receive a
complimentary red carnation. Reser
vations are suggested.
The Allen Room is also offering a
Valentine repast for two.
“We are having a special menu for the
evening, and the dinner includes dancing
at Mr. C’s,” Dennis Boedewig, general
manager of the Allen Room, said.
Flaming desserts will also be included in
the meal. Boedewig said this is the first
time the Allen Room is trying table-side
preparation.
“We will be accepting reservations,”
he said, “but dinner isn’t by reservation
only.” Dinner will be served from 5 to 10
p.m.
If distance is not an object, the Mt.
Nittany Inn on Rt. 144 is offering a
special “T for Two” dinner.
“The dinner includes two 12 ounce t
bone steaks, potato, bread, salad bar
and a half-litre of wine.!’ Bill Zang,
owner of the Inn, said. The Inn is located
about 20 minutes from campus.

lamp-lit.”

Computer climate system
saves University money
The University saved an estimated
$155,000 in energy expense during the 10-
day holiday break through the use of a
computer climate-control system, of
ficials said.
The decision to lower temperatures
and shut off ventilation in all but a few
locations saved more, than $13,000 per
day in steam-production costs, Ralph E.
Zilly, vice president for business and
chairman of the Executive Energy
Conservation Committee, said. Ap
proximately $2,500 per day in electical
, expense was averted.
“We were able to more effectively
turn back temperatures this holiday
period than in past years for several

energy conservation programs, said.
He said the longer 10-day break made
it “more cost effective.” The holiday

break in 1977 was six days long. The
second factor was the new computerized
central control system, which he said
“made it easier to accomplish the
cutbacks.” •
Temperatures were not lowered in
buildings with special events or critical
research. Animal quarters were
maintained at required conditions
during the holiday period.
“We’ve had limited use of the system,
and at various times used parts of it, like
during the coal strike last year,” Dean
said. He said the system is continually
being expanded, but that the University
does not own it. It cost between $1 and 2
million and was funded by the state
Department of General Services, Dean
said.
