The Chapel Dispute Nears Its End
•It is interesting to watch the progress, slight as
it is, which is being made toward settlement of
the dispute over All-College Cabinet's authority to
say that two chapel collections each month shall
go to a local charity instead of Lingnan University
for the support of Daddy Groff.
Cabinet's action, taken more than a month ago.
came. about after two months of consideratidn.
The reasons for the delay were two: a financial
report concerning the expenditure of chapel funds
at Lingnan could not be obtained, and Cabinet
members themselves were not too certain that they
had the power to regulate chapel funds:
However, - both questions were cleared up to the
satisfaction of a Cabinet majority. -The financial
report was obtained and a committee found that
cfferings were first sent to Lingnan by action of
the student body .in 1911. From this, it was con
cluded that chapel is a 'student activity and thus
subject to regulation by Cabinet.
• Then Cabinet acted. A motion to continue
sending chapel collections to Lingnan was defeat
ed by a vote of 9 to 6. Another motion to send
two offerings a month to "some local charity" was
passed. - 9-7.
-Next -the Penn State in China committee came
into the picture. It argued that chapel is not a
Student activity because a large proportion of those
attending chapel regularly are faculty, staff and
administrative workers. The committee decided
to appeal directly to President Hetzel on the
grounds that Cabinet exceeded its authority.
Not wanting to be left out of the fight. All-Col
lege President Arnold C. Laicrh '4l also asked for
a ruling on the matter. The next move was up
to President Hetzel.
' The President did not do the expected. It was
supposed that he would take direct action but in
stead he threw the fight back to Cabinet and the
Penn Slate in China committee by suggesting that
a. special committee be set up to recommend a de
cision.
- This mei some opposition from Cabinetmembers
but Cabinet finally agreed to the suggestion. It
was opposed principally because it was felt that
the committee would be "packed" in favor 'of the
Penn State in China committee. •
As suggested by President Hetzel, Cabinet would
appoint three members to the committee and the
Penn State in China committee would appoint
three. The chairman would be Chaplain John IC
Frizzell, chairman of the chapel committee. _
We can say with a fair amount of certainty that
Chaplain Frizzell sides with Penn State in China:
Thus,. Cabinet has three votes and the Penn State
in China committee has four.
It is not likely that President Hetzel will be in
fluenced very strongly by the special committee's
; gecominendation. What is ; ,more probable is that
- he wants the opportunity to hear both sides of the

"Whoosh!" is the way my head goes every time
I survey copies of our contemporary .journals.
Shrieking black headlines describing the apparent
rcad rush of civilization to escape an honorable
death are the inspiration for my ripping cranium
whirl.
Secluded as we are in the usually •complacent
and ivory-towered atmosphere of Nittany_Valley,
we still find it difficult to remain aloof from the
strain of current happenings beyorid the pale. I
oftimes imagine that we would. all be much hap-.
oder, relatively speaking, if the news-spreading
facilities of modern print and radio had not de
-'eloped to such an efficient extent that we know
what new disaster, has_ struck the world even be
fore. its first rumblings are extinct. The cliche, .
"Ignorance is bliss," still has some escape value!
Of course, it. isn't the newspapers' fault that
we're so unhappy. And with the state of affairs
in the shape .they are 'in the Year of ' Our Lord
1941, we definitely have cause for mournful re
flection. It's not just because we read about a war
in Europe, an "incident"—as the wily. Nipponese
so tactfully put it-in China, campaign's in Africa,
fifth columns in the Western Hemisphere, and
draft boards in every county that we're disturbed:
What really bothers Ili_ is that these things don't
stay in the papers, like Superman or Flash Gor
don, and devote themselves to being exciting
reading matter. Instead, they have the- . very un
happy faculty of jumping out of black and white
into ghoulish, yet real, nightmares that upset all
our carefully planned post-academic dream castles.
-The intention of - this column is to pursue the
pleasant duty of informing its reader of what's
v,•rong with everything. While super-patriots (of
the DAR variety) proudly exclaim the perfec
tons of our imperfect society, I will be right in
there, reminding You that here we are, in 1-941,
and something's wrong somewhere. By the way,
hcw to correct these grave—or not so grave, de
pending on your viewpoint as Sammy Wyand
would hasten to' point out—injustices is the job of
a much more mature or occult person than-myself.
.I'll probably end up being a riddle column—with=
out answers.
- The German Library . ,df Information's "Facts In
Review," makes much -of -a British slogan, "Butter
Bengazi" allegedly used to console the English
for the ever growing fat shortages. The German
propaganda organ shrills triumphantly that the
slogan shbuld be "Neither Butter or Bengazi."
The "Facts in Review" thing provides many amus
ing moments. For instance, a translation of Hit
ler's April 6th proclamation contains these absurd
ities:
"Since I have lived to see eight years of friendly
endeavor (sic!) -proVe in vain, I have . resolved
to re-establish in Europe bearable !) relations .
ty entrusting the future of German interests to
that force which alone seems to be capable of pro
tecting right and common sense."
Britain's Library .of Information throw-aways
are much more gratifying fo read, but a trifle dull.

Students Believe Professors
Don't Preach 'lsms' In tlassroom
By Student Opinion Surveys
AUSTIN, Texas, May 7.—The Dies committee
has often pointed a finger at colleges and univer
sities in various parts of the nation, sometimes
accusing faculty members for the .spread
. of *un-
American "isins." Just •how much such •propa
ganda is being spread through pedagogical meth
ods will perhaps never be accurately known.
But it is possible to measure at least how many
students think attempts are being made to influ
ence ,them. Student Opinion 'Surveys of America
has taken the question directly to the collegians
who some defenders of Americanism claim are be
ing taught to believe in the' 'wrong" doctrines:
"Have•you ever felt that a faculty member while
teaching in a class was attempting to influence
you in favor of nazism, fasciSm, • communism, or
.socialism?' The answers of a representative
sample of stticlerits taken 'the country-over - were
these: •
YES
YES. but apparently not purposely
The above figures must be interpreted

servations: The students who answered were

- dents were yenresmted, but each student's . own.

To the Editor
I saw - , last night for the - first
time, the annual Penn_ State
Circus, - and was very much:im- 7
pressed. by it. 'Those who- took
part in - it are to be complimented
very highly -= they put on a great
exhibition. _
I have only one criticism to
offer—a glaring and very con
spicuous wrong was committed
when the large American flag,
which was placed where the - new
scoreboard previously hung, was
hung. incorrectly! The blue field
should have Veen to the left of
the observer, not the right.
I am of 'the opinion that a
little reading of the treatment
of "Old - Glory" would do no one
any harm,
