Telephone: 292-W, Bell Member of Eastern Intercollegiate Newspaper Association Nows Editoi ibis issue FRIDAY, JANUARY 22, 1920 NOT A LOST CAUSE Compulsoiy daily chapel must stay at Penn State was the edict of-the Bonn! of Ti ustces when members of this bodv met in Hamsbuig last Monday. An o\ei whelming student vote against compulsion and a stiong petition fiom Student Council Jailed to convince the Trustees that that this obicctionable feat in c m the daily chapel semecs .should bo abolished, and for the time being, Penn State undeigraduates must continue to gi.icc the Audilonum e\eiy morning against their wishes, awaiting the time when icligion will not be to*ced upon them, when they may absoib it vohmlunly While the Tmstecs agree th.it compulsion is nccessaiv. they evidently believe that thcic is something to the clause in the Student Council petition which mentions “an inadequate, inef ficient service to which attendance is grudgingly given,” for they have decided to appoint a committee which will contcr with the Council group in .in attempt to better conditions And llicicin is the one ray ol hope In the opinion of the COLLEGIAN, howevei, it is almost Impossible to belter conditions as long as compulsion is piescnt. And.) pci haps, when members this committee fiom the Boaid ol Ti ustces visit Penn State, they wall realize this fact It they fail to comprehend the situation after they have studied it them selves, then the undcigiaduate faction must be piepaicd to show them When the news ot the Tiuslecs' action fust 1 cached the campus, there weie shouts ol disapproval and muiminings ol “paternalism ” It is useless toi anyone to make any lash state ments oi lineals. It would avail them nothing The student body believes it is justified in attempting to do away with com pulsion The Hoard ol Tnistees no doubt teels that it is justified in iclusing to abolish compulsion. The only way lor things to be ..eltlerl once and for all is through the medium ot a meeting be tween membeis ot these two groups Foi ycais, Penn State undergiaduates have cried out against cmnpuNoiy daily chapel. For yeais, then pleas have been tinned down In all fairness to the students who demand only an even show, let this committee liom the Board of Tiustces be appoint ed at once The mattci must not be allowed to slide 1 BIAZING THE TRAIL At one ot the fust 1927 class meetings this year, a Blazer fommitLee was appointed, its primaly puipose being to discuss ihe advantage-, and disadvantages of inaugurating a new and distinctive class custom, that ot vveanng blazcis Membeis of that committee have communicated with students ot othei col leges and nniveisilies in legard to the prevalence ot this custom aL then institutions, and have also attempted to sound out mem beis ol Penn State’s itmioi c'a-.s as to then feelings concerning the pioject The rindings ot the committee leveal the fact that with the exception ot Biown University, every institution m the East has accepted the idea unieservcdly Piineeton is to give lunior biaz eis a trial this spimg: Yale is anothei univeisity winch has signed its older ior a prennci dehveiy oi the striped coats in the ■'pnng; Pennsylvania last ycai had hei semoi class adopt the custom ot wearing blazeis alter the classes “move up" in the spring, and was so satisfied with the idea that it is to be letaincd as a university custom And so on through the list, if the col leges have not aheady started the custom they will do so this year. The plan is ripe for discussion. A junior custom oi vveanng blazers irom the spiing ot the thud ycai until graduation should meet with appioval. When class hats were cast away, it was a step m the light dncetion. The adoption of blazeis by a class near the end of its junior year would be another good step, a son ol “pace-keeping” with the largei institutions of highei learning. However, to assure the proposed custom success, it is neces sity that every jtinioi back the movement without hesitancy. H 1927 men desue to blaze the ti ail, let them do so at once, )ml not without a majority sentiment expressed. OPPORTUNITY What value do Penn State students place upon the woik of “Daddy” Grofl at the Canton Christian College’> What would they give to send a Nittany giaduate to China toi the purpose oi extending the woik of the College in the East v The answer of the campaign committee is, “Loss than one bundled dollars!" Last Sunday when the drive was launched to finance the ■founding of an extension in agricultuic at Canton, there seemed not the slightest doubt oi its success. It was felt that the interest ot Penn Sato undoigraduates m the woik that has already done so much for the College needed only an oppoi tunity to express itself in generous pledges. The fate of Penn State’s outpost in the Orient hangs in the Letter Box To the Editor, Penn State COLLEGIAN.
