Eighteen months : have glided on their swift course since an intensive campaign was directed, through the columns of this newspaper, against compulsory chapel. At that time a student ref erendum gave conclusive evidence that the under graduates were overwhelmingly in favor of the al olition of the institution of compulsion. In spite of the one-sided ballot. Penn State students are still attending chapel and—in far too many instances—not because they so desire. Scores of letters at that time were received and printed showing the attitude of the students in regard to involuntary chapel attendance.. Not a communi cation favored the retention of chapel in its pres ent status! We take this opportunity to invite letters set ting forth reasons for maintaining compulsory chapel. Any individual who believes he has logi cal data defending - the "cough-cough" chapel-ser vice, is urged to place all such: ideas on paper and address the communication to this publication. (No letters are solicited voicing opinion against the present: system—this, as protection against a veritable flOOd of notes.) Surely compulsory chapel must have its merits, else the institution would crumble of its own weakness. Those per sons having knowledge of the merits of compul sion in religion are invited to inform those who think differently. Compulsory chapel supporters. you are challenged. What is your answer? TEN DOLLARS A WORD-AND FAME With the announcement of the prize contest awarding twenty-live thousand dollars to the man or woman in the United States submitting the most acceptable article of not more than twenty live hundred words in length on the subject, "What Woodrow Wilson Means To Me," all per- SCIIIE between the ages of twenty and thirty-live :ire afforded an opportunity such as seldom ap peam wenty-five thousand dollars for a twenty live hundred word essay setting forth the ideals and principles of Woodrow Wilson and what they mean to the writer is the reward that awaits some rathey fortunate young : map or iwoman.:,.

From the vast »umber two, one from a female contributor and the other from a male, will be selected as the best. The writers of the prize-winning contributions will receive a small fortune, satisfaction and congratulations while the other ninety-nine and forty-four one hundreths who once entertained high hopes will get—nothing. But hold! Every person who at tempts, to snatch the prize will. win or lose, be a winner. That person will get an insight into the life of a man whom history is preparing to re ceive as greater than George Washington or Ab raham Lincoln. 'le even entertain the faintest hope for the prize, the candidate must spend hours in search of material covering every phase of Wilson's life. He must know the significance of Wilson's every achievement, he must interpret Wilson's entire I i fe. .English classes here are being informed of the contest by the professors. Will a Penn State man be the ultimate winner? . Surely, there are many who are capable if they would but put forth the effort. The vast fame that the winner could bring to his Alma -Mater would be vast. the glory that would be- his own, everlasting. Ten dollars a word - • HAIL THE CHAMPIONS! Once mol.e. the 'name, Penn State; has been vated.to the top rung of the sporting world ladder. Again the Nittany Valley rocks in tribute to a championship team bearing the:colors of the. Blue and White. A Penn State boxing team journeyed to Syracuse for• the intercollegiates Friday and Saturday and, returned to a rousing student come here Snnday night with the crown, symboli cal of the 1927 intercollegiate boxing chathpion ship, securely resting on its brow. Conceded - only an outside chance against pow erful opposition. the Nittany ringmen battled Val iantly to the ultimate victory and championship that fell their lot. 'l'o the three sophomore inter collogiate boxing champions in their respective weights, Steve Bendick, Allie Wolff and Steve Hams; to Captain Grazier; Filegar, Kolikoski and Mahon who gave their all; to Coach Leo Houck is extended the heartiest congratulations for the brilliant success; that has rewarded a season of diligence and training, and to Manager Collins and the :•est of the squad the sincere admiration at the College.

Say something startling. Co on now. startle away. "I suppose you want to know what I thought of the concert? Well. Smithers. if you must have an answer, it was better than most girls' concerts. The monotony of girlish voices, even if you insist, of pretty girlish voices. is the great handicap in a women's recital. Director (It'ant overcame this difficulty. and must be given credit for the excellent arrangement of the program. Miss Gobrechis marimba selections worked wonders, while Miss Wright's recitations afforded me much pleasure. And I must con gratulate Miss Romig. Her singing won the audience." SESSION TWO "I went to the Ileattx Arts Ball Friday night, Smith- Smithery:—Visiting again you social hound? "No you old fossil. I didn't go visiting. I parted with three greenbacks at the door before tripping the light fantastic." Smithers:—Three dollars? "Yes. Smithers, and it was well worth it. That ar chitects affair was a real treat—beautiful costumes, splen did decorations. unique lighting effects, and inspiring walt zes. What's more there were no stags threatening you from the sidelines. Why, would you believe it. I wasn't cut in on once during the whale evening." Sm it hers:—Not once? "We need more dances like that to improve our sociai atmosphere at Penn State. Dances in this town are so few that one is really removed from helpful social life during the four years here." Smithery:—Bullosopher, have you forgotten why you came to College? Do you crave tea dances every afternoon, dinner dances every evening and half dozen club dances every week-end? Why you gray-haired old codger, I really believe you-have forgotten the call of the books." "Smithers, you always go to extremes. I mean 'that wo should have enough social opportunities presented to us here so that when we go" home we don't have to read the "Book of Etiquette" and "Why I WaS l ' Never So Embar rassed in. My Life" to lie at ease when in select company. I'm tired of playing bridge or sitting in a bull session Saturday nights. It's hard on the pocketbook to go to Lock Haven for week-end entertainment. More culture development and training, not found in books, is what we reed. Smithers.” "Say, Smithers, what did you think of Doctor Tweedy's sermon on fear?" Smitherst—Tweedy? Sermon? Beer? "Fear, you poor egg. fear. Didn't you go to chapel on Sunday?" Smithers:—Oh, sure! I haven't missed a Sunday yet. "Well, then, didn't yen hear Doctor Tweedy?" s m tth ers: —W e ll, yes, Hut you mightn't say exactly heard. You see a freshman sits in my seat tot me. . What!
