Chapel Offerings Needed on Campus Students attending Chapel Sunday will have an opportunity to vote on how they would like to see the money given at Chapel services put to use. These donations now come to about $4500 a year. The balloting Sunday will be used merely as a guide for the committee studying the future use of the Chapel funds. Because other colleges have expressed interest in the for eign projects which have been mentioned for the funds, it would be unwise for the com mittee to even suggest the vote be made binding. For over 40 years these funds have been con tributed 'to the American Boa r d of Canton Christian College, to be used as part of its annual $3,000,000 budget. Three years ago the funds were shifted to the American Board of Trustees for Lingnan University with the under standing that they would be used to support the work of Prof. G. Weidman "Daddy" Groff and R. E. "Dick" Pride who are collaborating in the 'development of an international plant exchange and the preparation of a manual on subtropical plants in Florida. Now that it is expected that Groff and Pride will be finishing up their work soon, a new use for the Chapel funds is being sought. Six suggestions have been made by the com mittee working on the disposal of the funds. Of these, three are proposals for projects similar to the Penn State-in-China set-lip, that is, monetary aid to foreign colleges. Three other suggestions would keep the money here on campus for various use. Of the suggestions which have been offered, we feel the small meditation chapel is the best. All the suggestions, of course, are worthwhile, but the school already has a number of schol arships for foreign students, and many col leges, working through the World Student Service Fund, contribute aid to foreign col " leges and universities. , 'The chapel, which would''cost an estimated $lOO,OOO, would be used for individual medita tion, small group worship, and meetings of reli gious groups. For a community ,of 10,000 stu dents, a chapel of this type is a necessity. Granted it might be some time before the chapel becomes a reality, but progress has to begin somewhere. Now is a good. time to• begin. TI E'spAITN: COLLEGIAN' STATE .COLLEGE ; I ,RENNSYLV Frizzell Contest Valuable to Students Six students at the College participated in one of -the oldest contests on campus Monday night. This contest, the John Henry Frizzell Ex tempore Speaking Contest, is open to any stu dent on campus except previous winners. Altogether, 48 persons participated in the contest's preliminary rounds,' which were sparsely attended by the student body. But, Monday night, when some of the best speakers at the College were competing, there was still a meager student turnout in the audience. Topics discussed in the contest included the burden of destiny, religious and racial intoler ance, American government ' power, and the dependency of the younger generation. All topics were down to earth and of definite stu dent interest since the talks were being pre sented from the viewpoints of individual stu dents. It seems negligent on the part of students to forget ,activities like the Frizzell contest. Progranis of this nature continue to, exist de spite the students' disinterest to attend as an audience. However, it seems to us that each student is missing a fundamental part of his education when he fails to be interested in hearing the viewpoints of fellow students, when he fails to take one hour's time to sit in on a student presented educational program. Has the students' apathy, so often referred to, become so great that their fellow students no longer can draw their interest? We would like to congratulate all the con testants in the Frizzell contest, and in particu lar, David 'Lewis and Eugene Kolber, who placed first and second, in the contest. We enjoyed all the speeches and the few others who attended have expressed the same opinion. May more students be able to express opinions in the future. We certainly hope that some more students will soon begin to crawl out of their shells and share with the few others the values of programs like the Frizzell contest. Gazette . . .
