The added feature of music in the dining halls makes eating there much more enjoyable; the atmosphere becomes much more comfortable rather than a cold, lifeless cafeteria.

However, I do not find the choice of music a "stomachache." Many times the music just blends into the background, and I do not even notice its presence, as is the case when I do my homework or talk on the telephone.

Obviously, my tastes in music are not shared by everyone, as shown by the front page of the Feb. 12 edition of The Daily Collegian. The suggestion by the AFA that the dining halls play classical music is fine, but the University should not consider playing Christian music in the dining halls.

If the AFA succeeds, many, such as Jewish people, Hindu believers and anyone else who does not practice Christianity, will be offended in the same respect that the AFA claims to be offended.

In addition, if the University chooses a religious form of music, this choice says that the University, supposedly catering to all races, religions, sexes, etc., favors one particular group. That would not be a wise image for Penn State to project.

One solution is to take a vote and see how other students feel about the music; should the type of music be changed or not? If the majority feels we should, then we should.

If the majority does not see a problem with the music format in the dining halls, then "let the music play."
