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.
