'the arguments ever advanced for continuing to !send the entire chapel fund to Lingnan Univer .nity: instead of splitting the collections half-and hah: between. Lingnan* and a local student charity, In the first paragraph of the letter, the corn )iiittee said: "We think this statement will serve to throw light on some of the issues which have been under• discussion" The letter did not do that. The statement was not of fact, but of naturally, the opinion of the Penn State in China committee. It ?lid not "throw Light on some of the issues" but merely surrounded. them with another Layer of darkness iii the form of generalities similar to those which. have always hidden the true signi ficance of Penn State in China. We are not saying that Penn State in China is not a wor`thwhile project, On the other hand, we are saying that the work it helps to do at Lingnan. has been misunderstood by Penn State 43tudents. Ask any student this question: "What is Penn. State in. China?" His answer, in substance, wilt probably be " 'Paddy' Groff." That is wrong. Mr. Groff is not directly con•- nected to Penn State in China. lie was hired by Lingnan itself to teach and do research work in horticulture. Consequently, his position is mu parable to that of any professor of agriculture on this campus. . The Penn state h. China committee's letter also Ided.ared that chapel collections have been used "to cover a part .of the expenses and salary" of Mr. ,Grog. • Lingnan gets some of its funds from an Ameri can Board of Trustees which. in turn, obtains money from several colleges and universities, in cluding Penn Mate. 'Thus Penn ,State's chapel collections—wbich total about $2,000 a year— are . not used solely for Mr. Groff but are distribut ed among all staff members and all departments of .T.ingnan. A. reasonable conclusion is that the withdrawal of part of our donation would not curtail Mr. Groff's work. . The committee also wrote of the system of excla.nge scholarships between Lingnan and Penn Stale, and - of the Penn State Lodge at Lingual'. These two phases of the committee's work are riot financed by our chapel collections, and have no olace in the controversy. That, in. brief, is the . Collegian's answer 'to the flruinents presented by the Penn State in China Conlmittee, We ask you to consider both sides of the issue, We ask you also to remember that 4.he basic question is this: Should. all of our chapel. collections be used to help support Lingnan Uni ver,,ity in China or should half of them be donated. to a charity which would aid needy ~ma rand wo • Downtown Offjce It 9-12.1 South Fra2.lor St Phone 4372 Dlstribu(or of _r• avi Oatn.u.eig ___Gordon Coe Fula: Eldwanj Lapc:7 Louis a.

Of all the screwed-up, jerked around weekends that ever whirled Penn State students into a madly drunken state of suspension, the coming bargain basement combination tops them all. Soph Hop assured itself of skidding down the traditional Soph Flop trail by getting tacked onto 1-louseparty weekend. Fraternity men, out to "get" Soph Hop for intruding on their traditional spree, are putting on spite dances Friday night. Instead of auditing its accounts in red ink in a quiet, reserved way, Soph Hop has insisted in ,gbing down in a flare of animosity inspired by its trespassing on the hallowed grounds of House party. And the fraternities, instead of graciously accepting the' dictum of Student Union Board, have insisted on making. it a battle to determine which founders with less poise. Houseparty or Soph Hop. All of which means that this weekend will be remembered most for the lousy time had by all. not as one of the highlights of the Fall season. - How Do They Do It? To top all off, along conies Thespians with one of the best shows they've' ever put on. Not the best, by a long shot : but good. Which is rather amazing when one considers the obstacles faced by the intrepid foollightes. By all rights, Thespians shouldn't even be Able to get a show out this weekend. For the past month, the clowns have been groaning under the weight of a Monstrous pile of inefficiency, grand standing, and lack of cooperation. Jimmy McAdams, nominal•head of the motley crew, has contented himself 'with issuing weighty dictums on discipline, cooperation, et al. Ig noring his own rigid words, the top TheSpian has declined to enforce his regulations, and has been accused of using his authority to play up to some fro:sh skirt in the chorus. Of course, all the prima donnas have had to shove each other around getting in the spotlight's way, while the hard-working faction, until re cently, found itself ramming head-on into the stone wall of Lack of Organization. keystoned by McAdams. The Thespians surprise everybody, though, so it wasn't with too much of a shock that I preview ed a fairly competent show the other night. The music is solid. The Glee Club bats out a neat boogey woogey bolero and Marce Stringer gives with her own refreshing novelty numbers. There's a nice bit of accordion squeezing done by one Marty Kline, a newcomer to State. who's done some arranging .for NEC.
