PAGE Tl#o The Crux The College yearly launches Religion-In-Life Week and the potential benefits to be reaped by students from it are countless and effective if the students take advantage of the program. WITH DUE HUMILITY, we believe there is need for an occasional inventory of our spiritual stock, be it any denomination. Through the hubbub of our economic, political and social problems, we tend to lose sight of the prime fact that nations have ascended and crumbled under one small word—religion. Certainly no profound conclusions can be reached in a one-week discussion of the world's religions, but any students interested in the tickings of their contemporaries or their predecessors cannot afford to overlook the philosophies behind our many religious be liefs. And it follows that they cannot afford to regard Religion-in-Life Week too lightly. But many do. In our mind Religion-in-Life Week is not a success at Penn State. Too few students take advantage of discussions and seminars held during the Week—delving into Ideal and other aspects of religion, and featuring top religious speakers who usually have a pointed niessage that sticks. But it is shameful that so much money and effort is injected into a program in which too few students take part. People promoting the Week do a good job—certainly the students know at the proper time that Religion-in-Life Week is being observed. SO, AT LEAST on the surface, it appears that Penn State students full of college bounce and juices don't call themselves religious-mind ed' and end by scoffing at Religion-in-Life Week when it arrives. There's some truth in the statement that many College students let their religious We "go to pot" rather than give up some other supposedly more glamorous or "required" col lege activities. That's where the crux lies. Religion semi nars and other meetings during the Week inevitably conflict with regular group meet ings in the evening and with actual classes during the day. Inherent in the evening -hour conflict is a need for various campus organisations to forego meetings during Religion-in-Life Week if the Week is to click. In a campus com munity such as this, such cooperation must be .forthcoming—as it must for other import ant all-College events, for example the Com munity Forum. Tied up with the daytitne conflict with class hours is a need for proiision of cutting all classes on one or more afternoons (luring Relig ion-in-Life Week. WE CANNOT ENVISION' greater student participation, and consequently inherent suc cess, in Religion-in-Life Week until such prob lems are attacked and solved by the College and student groups, Safety Valve... Charges "Propaganda" TO THE EDITOR: Just a few lines suggesting that you either minimize the amount of anti discrimination propaganda which you have been hariding out to the readers, or change the Daily Collegian's name to a more appropriate one, for instance "The Daily Social Reformer." —Frank Lucia Jr. • Ed. Note—We don't feel that we have been handing out "anti-discrimination pro paganda." We do think, however, that the function of our news columns is to print the news; that is what we are doing as well as the Collegian knows hovr. What Reader Lucia points to, in our 'mind, is simple news cover age. Who can contest the fact that what es tablished groups like the Inter-fraternity Council, PSCA and the Senate Committee on Student Welfare discuss is news, just as the intramural handball championships and the dean's lists are news? Collegian news colUmns, then, are primarily a reflection of what these groups are now considering and are not Col legian-inspired "propaganda."

Wert) must have had it upside-donnt." Coaching Plan Upend Football New May Those who view the current football coaching. situation With alarm are, in our opinion, needlessly excited. For thos6 who don't turn to the sports page, the "current football coaching situation" simply refers to the vacancy in the head coaching position caused by the resignation of Joe Bedenk. WE DON'T VIEW the situation with alarm for the simple reason that, if the lack of a coach does nothing else, it does create some thing new ,in' the way of football at Penn State. For years, the com plaints have been long and loud that the thing that, was wrong with Penn State football was that nothing different ever happened. Year after year, the complaints went, it wai alWays 'the same, slow-moving, dull single-wing. The ball it centered to the full back, who fakes to the tailback or the wirigback.. sticks his head down and drives into the line. The whittle blobs, an official runs in. unpiles the mess, and Places 'the bill down. The team runs back into the scrimmage, runt out, the ball is centered to the fullback ... Well, here we have Penn State finally trying something new in the way of foOtbEill—running the team withotit the services of a head coach—and the same folks are still complaining. People just can't be satisfied. FROM WHERE WE sit the "Penn State System"--i.e., a football team without a coach—may well reVolhtionize football s much as did the rebirth of the T-formation. If 'the Penn state ysteth' cati survive one season without a football cotieh, the sucteea ill Omani stration may Well serve as an example for other , colleges. The idea might easily catch on and be adopted by other blg4ime forkhall schools, who would surely grasp at the opportunity of saving the $6,000 or $B,OOO they are paying top-flight football coaches. If Penn State's first football experiment since the yaleolithic age becomes successful, it is also not hard to envision such names as Earl Black, Frank Leahy, Maly Bell, George Munger and other's added to the growing list of the unemployed. Then--and this is the core of the whole program—Penn State .could step hitOthe glutted market of jobless football coaches and buy up a top-le*el coach for as little as $3,000 or $4,000. Football having become the big-money proposition. that it is today, the program might endanger a good Dart of our economic system, putting several , thousand 'football coaches and their assist ants out of jobs. That the fans might stay from the stadiums for, a few years because of the deterioration of the brand of play is also another danger. Admittedly the short-term effects of the Penn State system might be disasterous. But it's the long-range picture that .really counts and we should be prepared to make sacrifices for the long range good Safety Valve.... A Good Tonic TO THE EDITOR: Something I alWays wanted to do while a stu dent at Penn State, but never did, was to write a letter to the Colleg ian commending the personnel at tached to, the College! infirmary. Now I am going to do just that. Having been a patient there on two occasions, and also having been subjected to some rather brisk treatment by other depart ments of the College, I feel quali fied to voice an Opinion. 1 in not mean that • some departmenwts are rude, but they are What might be termed "abundantly impersonal," On the other hand, the infirm ary staff was always kind, effici ent, helpful, and courteous.
