Religion-ln-Life
International relations, war and peace and the
problems they pose for Christians, and race rela
tions are some of the topics that will be discussed
at the Religion-in-Life Week meetings. Plans for
the occasion, which will occur February 20-24, are
being made by a general committee composed of
students, staff and faculty representatives from
each of the church groups and from the Christian
Association, as well as representatives from
campus organizations such as All-College Cabinet
and the Interfraternity Council.
The purpose of Religion-in-Life Week is two
fold. First, to reach out to the students who are
not being influenced by either the church groups
or the Christian Association and to help them to
see the relevance of religion to their daily lives;
secondly, to deepen the religious convictions of
those who are already mildly or vitally interested.
The committee expects to do some of the out
reaching work by sending speakers ihto living
units for meals and subsequent bull sessions,
through class room appointments, and through
seminars or discussion groups.
On February 20, plans will be made for a mass
meeting of which the student church groups will
probably constitute the majority. Another mass
meeting will be held February 24 to which Nor
man Thomas has been invited to speak.
Religion-in-Life Week, an annual occurrence at
the College, is an extremely worthwhile thing for
students to become acquainted with and to par
ticipate in.

"f Only Imagined ...
TO THE EDITOR: I was one of those 91 dis
contented souls who complained to the Food Com
mittee about the starches in the food being served
at the Nittany Dining Commons. The article in the
Daily Collegian, which informed me that Miss Fall
and the Food Committee had come to the conclu
sipn that such a situation did not exist, relieved
me no end. I’m glad that I only imagine that the
food is starchy.
One Sunday shortly after the beginning of the
remester, the noon menu consisted of greasy pork,
mashed potatoes, bread tilling, bread and butter,
milk and dessert. Because I call that a bit too
starchy, the Food Committee has the intestinal
fortitude to call me a ‘‘liar.”
According to the Collegian, the Food Commit
tee and Miss Fall arrived at the fact that the starch
complaint was unfounded by examining old
menus. Did it ever occur to them that perhaps we
ion’t get exactly what is printed on those joke
heets? For example: Listed—Baked Potato, Swiss
eak; we got—Boiled Yam and hamburger.

rooms, but also gives the estab
lishment owners more protection
because everytime a bartender
or owner is fined by the State law
for scrying a minor, it will also
be possible to fine the minor un
der the local ordinance.
This ordinance will not apply to
fraternities, clubs, or private resi
dences.
If passed by the borough coun
cil, State College will be the first
town in Pennsylvania to adopt
such an ordinance although in
some other states there are simi
lar state-wide laws and ordi
nances.
Local Enforcement
Local police officers will play
a bigger part in enforcing the
Minors’ Ordinance than they now
do in enforcing the State Liquor
Control Act, for the ordinance
provides that “any person who
shall violate any of the provisions
of this ordinance shall be deem
ed and adjudged to be a disorder
ly person, and upon conviction
thereof before either the Burgess
or any Justice of the Peace shall

be sentenced to pay a fine of pot
less than ten-dollars and not
more than $lOO for each and every
such violation, and upon default
iii payment of said fine or fines,
shall be sentenced to serve one
day in jail for each one-doller
fine, but not to exceed 30 fieys."
The local WCTU is almost the
only organised group which
strongly opposes the Minors’ Or
dinance. Mrs. E. L. Mpftift, presi
dent of the State College chapter,
said the WCTU “will definitely
protest the transfer of responsi
bility of sales from the licensee
to immature people.
“The real reason for the ordi
nance is to save wear and tear on
bartenders who cannot easily tell
who is a minor. Taxpayers would
be giving protection to the tap
rooms which otfier businesses do
not need or get,” said Mrs. Mof
fltt.
The WCTU chapter in State
College numbers about 125 wom
en. “The WCTU," *aid Mrs. .lfof
fitt, “will never support any ordi
nance which is backed tar any
liquor interests"
