BeU Saturday, November 22, 1941 The Money Could Be Used Proponents of continued aid to China’s Lingpon University by means of the entire Penn State chapel collection have asked, at least indirectly, "How could SI,OOQ a year (approximately half the chapel fund) he used to benefit needy students on this campus?” That question can be interpreted in two ways: first, do students need the money?; second, how would the fund be administered? Any student can supply his own answer to' the first. Each of us knows at least one fellow stud ent—probably several—who requires financial aid. There can be no doubt that the money is needed. The answer to the second question is almost eh simple. The Penn State in China committee does not seem to believe any present fund, in particu lar, Mrs. Hetzel’s Fund for Emergencies, could Toe adapted for the disbursement of large sums of money, They point out that Mrs. Hetzel’s Fund now has a balance. That is true, But the re ns on is that Mrs. Het jrel’s Fund lends only amounts for short period? of itime. The fund is used, but money is paid back almost as fast as it is lent. What Penn ,State needs is a fund from which comparatively large sums could be lent on a long-term basis. Needy students hesitate to bor row $lO when they know it must soon be paid back, but they would feel free to borrow $26!) if they knew it would not be necessary to repay it until after graduation—when they would be working and earning. Other colleges have funds of this kind. As a matter of fact, so does Penn State but only enough money is available to benefit a scant handful of students, More is needed, and the way to get it is to use half of pur chapel collections which rightfully should be used tf>F that purpose. Correcliom * In the November issue oi tjhe Penn State Parm er, Doan Fletcher of the .School of Agriculture argues the eauge of Penn State in •Ghana. He rea sons, by implication, that the money should be sent to Dirvgnan in order that we may continue to have "Daddy” Groff there as our representative. However, Mr. -Grpff is not our representative any more than he is a representative of several other American colleges. It is little more than coincidence that he is a Penn State alumnus. He is not paid by Penn State alone and, presumably,, would continue to work for Lingnan even if all of our Chapel collections were taken away—and it is proposed to divert only half. Everybody Agrees Considering that it is about time for below grade? to be. sent out and that most student's dis like them, it might not be .stretching the point 100 far to substitute below grades for the word "sin” in the following anecdote of Calvin Coolidge: Mr. Coolidge, who was noted for his terseness, went alone to church one Sunday morning. When he returned home, Mrs. Coolidge asked, "How was the sermon?" “Good,” said the ex-President. “What was the sermon about?" “Sin.” “Well, what did iho preacher say about it?" “ICo was agcinst it ” iiiiuiuiuiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuimiuiiiiiiiiimiiiiiimiiimmimmimiimiimi ill old Rallies ciit In Peace To our two readers who today will sit amid the desolate ruins of a once thriving community, we humbly, dedicate' this column Be it ever so sooty there’s nothing (ike a big bite of Panther tail with Krouse’s kiddies and 6998 other rah rahs nipping away (at the Panther please) it ouglvla be just about the easiest job we’ve ever had. And speaking ol' Krouse, one of the 10-year-o.ld faithful rooters set the stands a-rock}ng at the West Virginia fray with "What color is Krouse’s hair, it looks so light in the middle and go dark on the sides?” Thqt ain’t hair, son, that’s jest plain lied.

Bob Jeff rey (we still don’t know about those orange blos soms) will import the lovely from Cleveland via air. Ex-Phi Delt and ex-student Bobbie Cochran and his Pittsburgh love Mary Jane Reichenbach— a never-to-be-forgotten-import, rare as those creatures are, will be much in evidence. Ad vance notice from talent scout Z-65000 gives, great build-up to a red-headed siren with a reserve on the last seat at the Schenley Bar. and her name is Betty. Honor Among 'Thieves Obviously Frothie’s latest issue far surpassed all previous eggs laid or hatched,' and obviously everyone noticed the amazing change for the better, but obviously few knew that a Dnily Col legian hopeful in a moment of blissful ignorance took his first eolumn up to the' office one day, ’ waited in quiet pain for -his first feeble attempt to grace this lovely pillar, and suffered a serious shock to see his mighty work en toto in the next issue of Froth. Let them steal, pilfer, or borrow Itilieir tripe from other college funnies but let them not trespass on our sacred ground again. Obviously Obvious Betty Rose Broderick, Gamma Phi, and Jimmie ' Lenton,- Sigma Nu, - are ' among' those punned of late. Tink Gambol and Polly Vaneman sneaking about like quiet lovers, but bepinned. Jimmie MulhoUand, Beth, putting in time with Sue Clous er and Bob Morgan doing a mighty bit of excava tion under the nose of Charlie Bowman for glam orous Betty Christman.

But the game continues .to thrive in nearly /every-other university and most of the smaller colleges. Furthermore, the sport as it exists today has the approval of near ly nine out of. every ten college students. Only 5 per cent of the nation's collegians would substitute the big-time games with an intramural program, it is found hi a study conducted by Student Opinion Surveys of America, the national weekly poll of college thought sponsored by 150 -J. A. B undergraduate newspapers, including the Daily Collegian. Hundreds of students were interviewed every where from the University of Maine to Stanford in California, with the question, “Would you rather see football in your school continued as an intercollegiate sport, or would you rather sub stitute it with an expanded intramural football program Per all students?” These were the re sults, including only schools that sponsor inter collegiate football: Continue intercollegiate Substitute intramural ~ Undecided THE DAILY COLLEGIAN iii!ii!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimifiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiumiiiiuniiui!i CAMPUS CALENDAR iiiiiuiimimiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiuniiumiiiiimniiiu Riding Club advanced instruc tion, Riding Club paddock, 2 p. m.
