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.

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.

About
`Spring Madness'
What makes this spring any different from others, we can't be
sure,"but this year's warming rays'of sok have certainly had a stimu
lating effect upon college students not only in .State College , but
all over the country. 1.

The dormitory raids have now reached, propor tons where the
Associated Press is reporting them by the: doiens. an colleges aren't
getting the singular notoriety as when the almost unheard of fiasco
occurred here the night of April 7.
The whole mad craze started
, innocently enough at the Uni
versity of Michigan, and Life
magazine, which without a
doubt •can claim the honor of
spreading the "spring madness"
to a nationwide mania, reported
it like this:
"All it took 'to touch off the .
riot that broUght the coeds to
their window ledges . . . was a
little warmth and sunshine."
Blame old sol then, if you like,
as responsible for the initial out
burst at Michigan on precisely
the first day of spring, but let
Life stand the rap for the rest.
Since the Michigan affair and
of course the Penn State fracas

add, outdid the WolVerines five
