Otticet Nittany Printing and Publishing Co Buhding Telephone: 129RW, Be% Member of Ensle= Intercolleglato Newspuper Association News Editor this issue TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1924 CHAPEL EXCUSES When a notice, stating that no excuses would be granted t'Or ab sence from chapel, was posted at the office of the Dean of Men last week, a wave cf protest swept through - the student body Under graduates at once Jumped to conclusions and many were the indignant statements directed at the authorities, whose ruling would entail hardships to the student working Ins way through college As usual such alarms arc groundless and the news to this issue of tho COLLEGIAN canes as a needed explanation of the ambig uous notice The college authorities, far from taking away the pri %ilege of chapel excuses, have merely signified their intention of lim iting the prixilege to students who really deserve exemption Last year it was estimated that appro ornately eight hundred students had obtained excuses on the ground that their employment interfered with their attendance at chapel. While there are a great many students who are supporting themselves at Penn State, certainly it is true that nothing like one quarter of the student body is employ ed at work which conflicts with chapel hours. Part of this large number of excuses was due, no drake, to the fact that students, work ing only for a short time at the beginnidg of the fear, failed to re port the fact that they were no longer working and no longer had a legitimate right tc be excused from chapel But probably the worst side of this situation was exposed when it became known that scores of students had obtained chapel ex cuses by dishonest means As an illustration of this evil, a case can be cited of cite fraternity caterer \Au) was '.noun to have signed excusesTergriteen men • Under the circumstances the college authorities could hardly have done otherwise than to take this definite stand on the chapel situation and to make an honest effort to excuse only those students whose work definitely contlicts with chapel attendance. And the principles of fair play will dictate that the students should support this stand It iricht also be v.c.11 to point cut the significance of this pro blem Tv.ro years ago the student body petitioned the Board of Trustees to do away with compalsory chapel attendance But that body refused to consider the abolishment of this institution Des pite the fihality of the decision, student sentiment has not changed and the indifference of the average undergraduate to religion finds ample testimony in the recent attempts to evade chapel attendance THE NITTANY LION Long before the majority of students thought abcut returning to college for the year 192.1.25, same forty or fifty Penn State men were busily engaged in putting themsches in physical condition for a hard season of the greatest sport in intercollegiate circles—the foot ball team had already been Y,orking for a month For the past two weeks all eyes have been fccused on the schedule which still includes nine of the most strenuous games ever arranged for the Nittany Lions Coach Hugo Bezdek and his assistants have produced a team that last Saturday proved it could play football The outlook is exceptionally bright this year and if the Jinx can be eluded the misfortunes of last season may he entirely surmounted. But "Bez", like all true leaders, is not satisfied with medium ex cellence; he wants perfecticn And to that end the Penn State football team will be drilled until it is thought that further scrim maging and development is out of the question 'I he result will be a team as good as its personnel. no more can be expected and no more is risked. Yet here is an e•nmple Ns herein rout ego, perseNerence and hard work will bring forth unet.pected results If college men and women would work as hard to attain standards of scholarship as the Penn State football team works to perfect its plays there would be mighty few failures. COMMUNICATIONS INVITED The attention of that part of Penn State's reading public which includes the COLLEGIAN on its list is directed to a notice in the masthead inviting communications of interest to students and friends of the college. Letters to the editor on questions of current interest are alway's' welcome and, if accompanied by the signature of the writer, will merit the unbiased attention of the editorial board. It is planned to devote a column of the , editorial page to be used exclusively as a medium for the expression of public thought and opinion as voiced in letters to the editor As herein-before-stated, the writer's signature must accompany the article or letter. Upon request the name of the author may be omitted from print if the article warrants publication. The COLLEGIAN assumes no respon sibility, however, for sentiments expressed under the column entitled "Letter Box", and reserves the right to exclude any whose publication would be palpably inappropriate. A suitable box has been placed in the hall outside the COLLEG IAN office in which all communications and notices of any nature may be deposited. Assurance is given they these notices and ex pressionsof ideas will be accorded immediate and deserved attention.
