Letter To The Editor:
Dear Editor:
Recently we were simply appal
led when at an evening meal we
were served uncooked food which
ivas in insufficient amounts to sus
tain even the average college girl.
Also, for ones who strive to eat
well-balanced meals, we find that
tlie abundance of starch in the
menus is discouraging.
We recognize the fact that at
boarding schools food is not ex
pected to be of home-cooked qual-
it.y, and we admit that food here is
often acceptable; but at times
such as the above mentioned, one
wonders wh,v the food and service
falls so far below par—considei'-
ing the dining fee which we pay.
Unfortunately, there seems to be
no s.vstem for suggestion or com-
jdaint, or no supervisor around
where conditions are unsatisfac
tory. Perhaps a suggestion box is
in order?
We congratulate Saga Food
Service for the progress made this
year, but we believe there is still
room for improvement.

Focus On The Democrats
In the May 1 issue of Life maga
zine Richard Stolley, chief of
Life’s midwest news bureau, re
ports on Sargent Shriver, Director
of the Peace Corps.
Shriver is now being considered
as a likel.v vice-presidential run
ning mate for Lyndon B. Johnson
in the 1964 presidential election.
Shriver, 48 years old, and brother-
in-law to the late President Ken
nedy is chief of President John
son’s “War on Poverty’’ and also
director of the Kennedy Founda
tion for mental retardation.
Well known throughout the
world because of the friends the
Peace Corps’ volunteers have
made for our country, “Sarg” has
so impressed Congress with his
competence and ability as an
organizer as well as an adminis-

Tom Jones Reviewed
To read Tom Jones is to read a
social history of England in the
early 18th century. Henry Field
ing gives an accurate and hilar
ious account of both city and
country life in this period. Coun
try squires, hypocritical clergy
men, sassy servants, ready liars
and cheats—no one escapes Field
ing’s keen eye and quick pen. The
author proposes to portray life as
he sees it, without idealism. How
ever, Fielding is still sentimental
and his main ciiaracters are lov
able and of heroic statue. Tlie
minor characters are realistically
developed and presented with that
bright spark of humor that makes
Fielding irrestible.
This year’s “Best Movie of the
Year,’’ Tom Jones, is a splendid
production and adaptation of the
novel. The movie rushes froin
scene to scene with breathtaking
speed, but retains the original
inirpose and humor of the author-
Though many people have show
ered praises on “Tom Jones,
there are certain people who dis
like and even condemn the movie-
An Episcopal clergyman froU'
Victoria, Texas called the movie
“vulgar, indecent, and amoral-
No doubt he would have made the
same comment about the novel fe^
both are realistic pictures at life a
certain time in a certain place. 1

coll-
seems to be his actions on the e
troversial Civil Rights questie'
and Bill. Because of these actioi*^^
Kennedy probabl}- does not^ ha'
a strong following in the Son _
Even though Johnson, a “southei^
boy,” has great support hei^
would it fade if Kennedy rvere
run on the same ticket? No don

trator that it has appi-opriated
nearly all of the money that the
Peace Corps has asked for.
When his father lost all of his
fortune in the Depression, Shriver
worked to put himself through
Yale and law school. Later he was
hired by Joseph Kennedy to work
in his Merchandise i\Iart in Chica
go. He became chief executive and
also married Kennedy’s daughter.
We must agree with Mr. Stolley
that Shriver does hold a favor
able position for the vice-presiden
tial nomination, but there is a
brighter star on the Democratic
vice-presidential scene than he.
Robert Kennedy, United States at
torney general, is considered by a
great many to be the favored nom
ination for the job. The main fac
tor against Kennedv’s nomination
this will be an important qu^^^
for Democrats to consider.
Returning to Shriver,
that he has developed a .,ji
vorable image with the AmeU ‘
people. The stamp of “tiglit
erty—encourage peace” has
placed on him, perhaps in gg,
favorable light ; neverthe
