Since the an nouncement m TuescLij’s COLLEGIAN of the proposed rcieren dum, the nature of the inquiries which h.ue besieged this office mahos it anpeai that undergi initiates have not awakened to the ti ue status of the present crusade, if it be suen One man asked. “Is it tuie that we aie not Bein': to hate any moic daily chapel r ’ His ljrnoianco c.m be likened on l y to hi-, viler lack of know Icdj/e ot the situation. For some lime a av tr.ui student taction has piotcsted against compulsoiy chiih ciianek has held it up to ridicule because of what has been called its utter uselessness. Another element has piaised compuUoiv daily chapel and has slated that to do away with it would be to deprive Penn State ot one of its most saeied traditions. Which loads us to v eiyh tiadition with compuMon, especially ir compul- Mon is at the sncuhcc of religion. True, the question oT compulsory daily chapel has been called to the atlertion ot tnc Eoaid of Tiustees time and again But it is doubtful if anj tacts and statistics were presented to tb«s body It is the desire of the COLLEGIAN to take this matter up cnee and tor all. to obtain a true idea of student sentiment, to diop tre discussion it undergraduate opimon so do-.nes, io catyy it faithcr li it is the w ill of Penn Stale If opponents of comptil&oiy daily chapel aie sincere m thou convictions, lot them e.vpicss their sentiments in the columns ot this paper Those in lavor of the piescnt system aie oTeied the simc opporlundy Let those opposed to chapel as it now stands ofic. •-o’utions foi its bettei ment. The COLLEGIAN, as was vtatod m a ici.cnt'editoiial, desnes to conduct the is-nc with s in con' impaitialily. Foi, alter all. Uu.s paper is the organ ot the vn !oigraduates the one medium Ihioitgh which thev may ox* pi ess then opinions and ideas. FOOTBALL ET AL “So I look the fifty thousand and did away with football.” Or at least, that is what Antioch College did scvtnal ycais ago al though thcic was no liftj thousand connected with it Said Picstdeni .Morgan of that institution “Athletics, acco.ding to out stanclaids arc as important an item in education as any othei part ol a student's vvoik. and tor ,llmtjreabon wc did awa> v.irh iootba’l ■ it was tending to monopolize not only the time ot the mc-n engaged m it, but the attention oi everyone to the detri ment ot othei games ” Pet haps Piesident Moigan docs not realize that without foot bad, it v oulcl be impossible to have “other games ” In piaciically every institution of highei learning in this country, the piolils l evolved fiom football aie used to cover the deficits that almost cvoi y othei spoil incuts. The gridiion hcio does occupy a lotiv pedestal—he deseives it. An’—pardon the allusion to a well-known adveitisement— “its popii’anty must be deserved.” Study a game that will chaw soventv thousand spectators despite the cold and rain, as did the Jlhncis-Chjcago game last week, must be worth presenting. If football will chaw thousands ot Old Giads back when all else tails, it is vvoith the puce tor this icason alone Yeais ago, little Centre College down in Kentucky realise 1 that its student body was depleted. Additional undergraduates weie needed if the institution was to continue on its high plane Tncn a Contie football team came North and deleated Htiv.u cl The following join, Centre was foiced to turn away hundreds ot applicants, Nov Centie football teams have practically been for gotten. But those eleven men that defeated Ilaivaul did moie ■*ov then eol’ege than any other thing that could possibly have happened You can aigue night and day about the “evils” of football Perhaps it is an evil, but a necessary one PENN STATE-WEST VIRGINIA To Penn State’s football warriors falls the honor of dedicating West Vngima’s new stadium. It is doubtful if cvoi before m the Nittanv institution has such an honor been bestowed upon the Lion. Pennsylvania officials will attend the dedication ceremonies to mmgle with those higher up m the goveinment of West Vir ginia. It will be the beginning of a new eia of friendship between these two parts of the Union, a renewing of fuondly hostilities between the institutions repicscnting Pennsylvania and West Virginia The COLLEGIAN, in behalf of Penn State, congratulates West Virginia on its new stadium. May it be an everlasting memorial to the immcrUl heroes of the mountain state. May it help along the cvei-giovvmg piestige of West Virginia in the field of inter collegiate athletics. And may it be the scone of a glorious battle on the gridiron tomorrow.
