              then when there is a performance or event which requires a bit of mental exercise could it be that their slide-rule manipulations have so fatigued them that they no longer deem

seventy-first year as an organization here on the lehigh campus mustard & cheese is not to blame either in choice of personnel productions or thespian ability prof h barrett davis m&c di rector said

dining services as a man agement firm in the university center mr theodore heeps general-manager of the wood firm who admits there will be no comparison between food served in the center and that served in lamberton hall will manage the operation the terms of the one-year contract see story page 7 state that the firm will operate on its own credit that wood will submit menus for university approval that he will assign only employees acceptable to the university that periodic physical examinations will be required to regular employees and that only students recommended by lehigh will be employed heeps who was present at the meeting said that wood would hire about 130 students for 50,000 a year the management firm setup was picked as the best of three types of dining hall manage ment wood was chosen from a large group of firms seeking the contract dean preston parr in announcing the decision to the university center advisory committee last week said that student opinion has not been disregarded we recently re-exam ined our previous thinking he added we are conscious of your concerns mr heeps shares your con cerns he said wood as a management firm will supply full-time personnel to the university and operate the dining facilities on a non-profit basis we have all felt very strongly against the concession arrangement he said this is the set-up now used in lamberton hall a resident manager parr said would have to be hired by the university and would be a lehigh man in that he would identify himself with the university he said this system was rejected for several reasons 1 because such a manager would have to come from outside the local area and would be buying in an unknown market 2 he would have no depth or flexibil ity of staff nor be equipped to handle staff turnover 3 he would have the problem of operating dur ing the summer when school closes 4 if such a manager did not work out we must get rid of him and start again management firm operation would have the advantages of having a flexible staff in that see heeps page 3 by bill le clere announcement of the appointment of prof william h schempf as director of music at west point brought
