Union student waiters received a quick reply to their complaints on working conditions and wages yesterday, when John W. Holt, director of the Student Employment Bureau, reminded them that "if you want results, you must first make complaints."
Holt said he believed that the waiters were "misinformed" about the value of a change in the wage scale, but declared that he would be happy to discuss the matter with the group, and make any changes he felt wise.
He mentioned that a wage revision was made last year, with the result that student waiters received free meals when on duty. Since other meals, however, had to be paid for at the coupon rate, which is higher than the basic board rate of $11.50 a week, the change proved unpopular.
Emphasizing that student waiters are entitled to the same food that other undergraduates eat, Holt urged that any employee who arbitrarily withheld food from a waiter be reported to him.
