(Editor's Note: This story was

Green, and Gary Huddleston

Five women residents in the
Quadrangle set up a table Monday niglit in Donovan Hall cafeteria to collect names for a petition in protest of the food and
the food service.
On the table were several

In less than 20 minutes after the cafeteria opened yesterday, more
than 115 students had signed the p tition begun by women in the
Men's Quadrangle who protested the Donovan Hall Cafeteria food
and the food service. Sign at the table says, "Are you hungry?"

Bette Gabbard, who organized the protest move, said that
copies of the petition and the
complaints would be sent to
President Oswald, the deans of
men and women, the residence
hall director, and the head of the
food service.
The petition read: "We, the

No other former president except John Adams, the nation's
second president who died at 90,
had reached such an advanced
age. Adams lived 90 years and
eight months, Hoover, 90 years
and two months.
Hoover, who passed 90 on
Aug. 10, 1964, said in a birthday
message that the key to America's
abundance is its freedom.
"Freedom is the open window
through which pours the sunlight of the human spirit and of
human dignity," he said.
As president when the "great
depression" hit the nation in
Hoover endured much

abuse, but he lived to regain wide
affection and esteem as a wise,
humane elder statesman.
He was sought out for counsel
by Democratic officeholders, as
well as Republicans. Countless
friends and admirers came to love
him as a man of immense sympathies and gentle wit.
Even his grave illnesses of
recent times did not stop him
from leisurely conversations with
callers, and from keeping two

Following services there, his
body will be flown to West

where he was born in 1874.
Repeatedly, and sometimes

years, he had fought off serious

Typical complaints on the
"Gripes" sheet were:
"There's no substitution."
"We don't get seconds."
"There's too much grease in
the food and too much jello."
"There's no variety; we have
spaghetti every other day."
"The breakfasts are always
the same."
"The mashed potatoes are
like cream of wheat."
"The bread is always stale."
One of the biggest complaints
heard was that there were insects
and other trash in the food. One
girl said she found a hair in her
soup. Another said she had found
a fly in her spaghetti.
The other girls were Judith
Hapner, a transfer student, and
freshmen Tricia Smith, Priscilla
Pettigrew, and Jane Jones.

The group then began discussing the food and decided to see
what they could do about it.

"Everyone's been sick lately," one of the girls said,
"and at the Med Center,

they keep asking us where we've
been eating. First, we just want
to bring people's attention to the
problem. Even before the sign
was put up, people were ready
to sign the petition. We want
only serious, legitimate gripes."
"We can't understand why
we're paying the same as Blazer
and the food is twice as bad,"

said Miss Hapner.
Sophomore Meredith Smith,
who ate in Blazer Hall last year
and now lives in theQuadrangle,
said, "I think the food over
here is very poor in comparison
to what I ate at Blazer. Just as

Robert Bolt's "A Man For All Seasons." This will be presented
Oct. 22, 23, 24 and 30 and 31.
The time of the play is the historical era of Henry VIII, a
time of severe religious conflict.
The background of the play is based on Henry's marriage to
Catharine, his brother Arthur's Spanish. widow. Although such
marriages were forbidden by church law, the Pope had permitted
this one after appeals from the English and Spanish governments.
Henry, however, sqon fell in love with Ann Boleyn and felt
he should be granted a divorce. Rome refused to grant this and the
Pope would not release him from his marriage contract.
Sir Thomas More, Chancellor of England, refuses to give public
approval of the divorce, yet Henry needs his approval.
More Is a pious man of high principle and an orthodox Catholic, so he feels it is impossible to condone this action of Henry

The Sportswear Mart, on

the UK coeds maintain this
reputation.

* More Action Needed
Many University students often complain about various aspects
of campus life which they consider
unjust and not in the best interests
of the student body. These students
file their complaints with their
peers and usually take no steps in
an effort to alleviate the particular
situation.
Many of the things which are
considered problems actually are
in the best interest of the most
students. There are, however, some
problems which justify action.
Likewise, most of these problems
will not be corrected unless someone takes an initiative to get students together, in protest of rules
or regulations which they deem
unjust.
Early in the semester a group
of students circulated a petition in
protest of registration procedures
and the method of paying fees. The
petition was submitted to President Oswald and a committee was
appointed to advise the faculty on
possible improvements in this area.
Several students; Monday col- lected naYresfor

The students represented residents

Men and Women, the residence
hall director and the head of the
food service.
We will not

sides on these particular issues at
this time. We do feel, however, that
such problems will go uncorrected
unless students show concern
through legitimate protests.
Campus organizations, such as
Student Congress, actually are not
representative of the entire student
body. Many students complain
about this lack of representation,
yet only a small percentage of students vote in campus elections.
Most campus organizations
have shown a desire to take' steps
to benefit the entire University
community. It is almost impossible
for these groups to benefit the whole
campus if voting members, do not
represent the whole campus. It is
possible, however, for students who
are not members of such organizations to use these campus bodies
as a media for various protests.
Opinions which are expressed in the
"letters to the editor" column of

do not express their opinions and

Decisions Facing Britain
Britain's election brings to an
end a demoralizing interregnum
that has lasted almost two years.
Critical decisions in defense and
foreign policy, long postponed, now
will be in the hands of a new government.
A crisis already is at hand in
Britain's economy which will affect
the nation's opportunity for choice
in every field. A balance of payments deficit now is running at a
jate that, without borrowing
could wipe but the nation's
"gold reserves iri 16' to 22 months.
Trade deficits and gold outflow
in the past have led Tory governments to brake expansion intermittently by deflationary measures, a
policy that has
meant a growth rate half that of the
Common Market countries. This
year, with an election in the offing,
significant brakes have not been
applied. The problem now is whether urgent corrective measures can
be devised that will not curb
growth. Import controls and exporting subsidies a form of partial
devaluation are being discussed.
But even outright devaluation of
the pound, which is not expected,
would only be a palliative without
painful structural reforms and modernization of British industry and
labor practices.
The Conservative party, divided on the issue, tried to achieve
modernization painlessly by entering the Common Market, despite
Labor opposition. Hut confusion

vative party and a prolonged electoral campaign. With London's attitude increasingly ambiguous, the
six Common Market countries now
may shortly begin talks on political
union without Britain.
Britain's dilemma over this development is complicated by conflict with Washington over the proposed eight nation multilateral
force (MLF) of Polaris ships that
has aroused the opposition of both
Britain's major parties.
London must decide within a
matter of weeks whether to risk
staying out of the MLF on the
chance that this would kill the
project rather than lead to a
nuclear force, as
Bonn and Washington have warned.
The alternative is to agree in principle, then bargain for concessions
similar to those the outgoing Conservative Government recently indicated it would seek, if it decided to
join. Britain's nuclear deterrent,
the future nuclear organization of
NATO and Britain's untimate relationship with Europe all will be
vitally affected.
No government in Britain since
the war has faced more critical
decisions than the one now about
to take office. These decisions may
chart Britain's role in the world
for decades ahead.

When a candidate- relies on
'help him win the great
American vote he should make sure
that 76 trombones are waiting to go
into action on his behalf. We suspect that Henry Paolucci, a candidate for the United States Senate
in New York State, did not even
count his saxophones. He seemed to
be listening to Grecian shepherd
pipes, or the classic measures of
Cluck's "Orpheus."

Like so many great ideas, this
one appears dangerous to the man
who first has the courage to utter
it. That is how unfair politics can
get. Politics itself has leaned on
music for both moral and tactical

advantage. The national convene
tions of the American parties always
give ear to a "keynote" speech; harmony in political ranks is sought
with cacophonous fervor.
We doubt that Mr. Paolucci
was thinking of this kind of "music"
when he said that it "tunes the
heart." What is music to a politician's ears is not exactly what made
Beethoven tear up his dedication of
the Eroica Symphony when Napoleon declared himself emperor. It
is not the beat of a Toscanini but
the count of the computer.
Yet we look forward with Mr.
Paolucci to the arrival of the
political life in which a
g
president will simply
give way to a 'cellist when the time
for a change has come, in which
elections will be superseded by
contests like that in the "Meister-singer,- "
and may the most melodious tenor win.
But for the moment, well what
is the count in Winooski?
