But ell II !Darkness
The letter from the Penn State in China corn••
mittee in yesterday's' Collegian is typical of. all.
'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 •

Soph Flop or Louse Party?
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.
