Religious Quest In-Air VOL XXIII, No. I 7 Religion Investigators Ask for Student View Will Submit Four-point Questionnaire to Undergraduates for Opinions At Chapel Sunday , Tho student committee, appointed' recently by President It. D. Hazel to investigate the present religious situ ation upon the campus, has prepared a four-point questionnaire l‘hich twill be distributed at chapel and all church services Sunday. This movement is entirely a stu dent undertaking and is in no way connected with the churches. It is simply a method of obtaimng student opinion conceining Icligious worship upon the campus. Four Questions ' It is expected that these four ques tion• will elicit the opinion of the student body as to whether there is adequate religious training at Penn State at present, whether a mid-week religious service is desirable and whether the students favor a con vocation at which time out of town speakers and faculty members would address the gatheting. Three thousand copies of the ques tionnaire are nosy being prepared and will be ready for distribution Sunday morning. They will be collected Tues day bs means of boxes placed at val ians campus points. This time, the committee believes, will be ample for thorough consideration of the points. Extra Copies In Old Main On a table in Old Alum gull be plac ed a number of copies of the question sheet for the convenience of those not attending any Sunday religious ser vice The committee desnes the co opecation of the entire student body on making this undertaking a success. It is also icquested that each pet son express his views in full, either on the back of the sheets or by sending them in letter form to the letter box n . f this newspaper. o_ Freshmen To Meet For Presidential Elections A freshman class meeting well be held at seven o'clock tonight in the Bull Pen Primers el ection for president will he held after which Piof M M.
