Chapel Funds Plan A Wise Decision After much discussion and debate, the fate of the Chapel collection funds has been decided, and decided wisely. The recommendation that the funds go toward construction of a meditation chapel and scholarship aid to bring students from Silliman University, in the Philippines to the College was reached by a student-faculty committee which has been studying the use of the funds for several months. The committee was much impressed by the visit of Leopoldo T. Ruiz to the campus in De cember. Ruiz is at present the consul general of the Philippine Republic in Chicago and will become president of Silliman University April 1. When he appeared before the committee, he suggested that the funds could be used to pro vide for an instructor to spend a year studying here or scholarships for Silliman students to study here. He also said the money could be put toward the purchase of books, laboratory equipment, audio-visual aids, or other equip ment needed at the university. As for the chapel, not only will it be an asset to the campus, but it will perhaps im prove the Christian morals of at least a few students here. While it may be some time before the chapel becomes an actuality, gifts from outside sources should provide the cam pus with one without necessitating student financial support. - The problem of what to do with the chapel funds arose when the communists took over China and refused to allow money to enter the country. For 40 years prior to that, the money was sent to support Lingnan University in Can ton, China. The project was then known as Penn State-in-China. Under the present proposal, the plan to split the funds between the meditation chapel and scholarship aid will he reviewed in two years. This will enable the committee to study any change in the situation and make adjust ments accordingly without hurting anyone's feelings. The committee’s decision was in the best in terests of everyone concerned. WD Facilities Move Should Be Obeyed The West Dorm Council has taken action to eliminate the practice of fraternity men using the West Dorm area washing facilities. It was pointed out at a council meeting Monday night that members of at least four fraternities down town and several houses on campus have been using the dormitory facilities. It should be. apparent that the West Dorm Council is justified in its stand. Since frat ernity men are in no way connected with dormitory living once they live in fraternity houses, it is totally unfair and unethical for them to use the washing facilities. But, the West Dorm Council, while it is at work trying to establish justice, should also get at the independent men who live downtown and use the dormitory washing facilities. These men, too, are not connected with the dormitories and should not be using the facilities. These facilities have been provided by the College as an added convenience for students living in the dormitories. These facilities are a part of what they are paying for. On the other hand, men living in fraternity houses and in independent units downtown _ are using facilities which are not theirs—which they are not paying for. We hope that after Harold W. Perkins, assis tant to the dean of men and adviser to the In terfraternity Council, receives the council’s rec ommendation for the elimination of fraternity use of dormitory washing facilities, fraternities will comply to the request. Town independents should also be informed. This appears to be the only fair conclusion. —Mi mi Ungax THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Safety Valve Rockets May Be Used TO THE EDITOR: Attention loyal State foot ball fans! Make your “Rocket” reservations early for' the excursions to > Philadelphia, Syra cuse, Morgantown, or “what have you.” This phrase may become common-place in the gridiron seasons to come, if the College Senate abolishes the Saturday football holi day because it "no longer, serves its original purpose in THIS DAY OF MODERN TRANS PORTION" (quoted from Tuesday's Daily Collegian). It’s true that the horse and buggy have been replaced by the automobile, locomotive, con ventional airplane, -and more recently the. jet, and rocket. However, air and rail service from State College is poor. It is- conceivable, though, that a student having classes until noon on Sat urday, operating a “souped up” Cadillac or Rolls Royce, might be able to complete a 200 mile trip before half the game were over. The College might even be able to arrange for the sale of “second half tickets.” Upon consideration of the safety in a speed ing Cadillac, and the desirability- of seeing a whole game, chartered rockets'would be a better solution, I believe. Since I am a senior. 1 would be unaffected by the new policy, but I am nevertheless amused by the reasoning behind it. Gazette...

Open By MARSHALL i i • / .DONLEY MLnd A few days ago we found ourselves involved in a typically male action—getting our hair cut in a local tonsorial emporium. While the dark-haired,'white-suited barber threw the thin striped sheet around our neck and followed-it with the ever-present white paper choker, we could not help thinking about barbers in general. What is it with them—just what do they think of while they peer knowing ly into our furry heads? This particular barber wore a carefully-kept black mustache; why do barbers wear well-trim med mustaches? Perhaps they use the mustache as a chance to show off their bartering ability—the way the skilled mechanic shows off his ability by hopping up the engine of his car. It’s a kind of industrial pride, a demonstrating of the potentialities of the busi ness, perhaps with the sly thought of encouraging others to under take similar ventures, thus bring ing more business to the mechanic or barber. But, we could not help wonder ing as we observed the smirk on the face of our barber, what does the barber think as he clips his scissors and runs his mechanical gadgets through his customer’s hair? His face gave some small indication • of the thoughts—-the lips curling in slight disgust as the task continued. . He is thinking, no doubt, of the great West, where sheep herders line up thousands of helpless, baaing animals and drive ' them against their will into a huge wet pit where chem icals are poured over their bodies to clean. the wool and make it easier to shear. The barber thinks this as he douses our hair with some liquid, his mind subconsciously compar ing the liquid with the chemical sheep-dip. And his thoughts go on to the sheawing of the critters as he runs electrical cutters vio lently through our hair. Perhaps his mind ponders the comparison between sheep wool and human hair. Charles Antelle, the now-famous hair tonician, hires spielers all over the country to tell people that sheep and hu mans are the same when it comes to hair. The reason for this, ac cording to Charles A., is that the human hair also contains lanolin, a fabulous product found else where only in sheep. (Of course, Charles A. will sell you this gay product, stolen from the hapless sheep, for a nominal cost. The reason you can't steal it from the sheep yourself is that it has to be re fined after it is stolen.) Then, again, as the white-suited tonsorial master splashes liquid in our hair, we thought that per haps we were getting something really beneficial to the scalp or something. But,alas, the barber THURSDAY, - FEBRUARY 26, 1953 By Bibl is also a businessman, and, upon inquiry we discover it is merely water. (You can get real stuff put on, but it’ll cost you more, he tells you.) . . „ „ Have you ever noticed how stealthily the barber conceals the fact that it is water, not a valu able tonic, that is in the bottle he splashes on your head? He picks up the bottle, which is an elegant ly designed unlabeled contrivance, swings it gaily above his head, and applies. it very liberally to your hair. He rubs it around, care fully allowing a bit of it to run down the sides of your face so you get the idea he is being very liberal with it. Of course, when' you pay him and he uses real stuff, it is, a different story. Then the amaz ing liberality with which he previously doused your hair be comes niggardly conservatism, and the tonic falls, drop by drop upon your hair. You notice also, if you look close, that the open ing on the top of the tonic bot tle (which of course proudly announces itself as TONIC) is small and especially designed so as to allow drops of the costly fluid to fall only after violent shaking. And so the barber goes on his way, clipping and splashing, ever retaining his smirk which gives some hint of his opinion of hu manity as seen from the view point of one foot above and two feet over the top of man’s head. He sees man, doubtlessly, as. a tragic figure, doomed endlessly to enternal trips to the clipping shed, there to have his wool cut, strained, shook, and wetted (with real tonic 'if he’s rich). But even in his dispassionate reaction to man's head, the bar ber serves a purpose—he re minds the person whose hair is ' being snipped' that he is just another animal, just a. thing that must be regularly run through the sheep-dip chemical pit and sheared. Women, with their many advantages in many fields, miss out in his ego-level ing experience. They must go, not to a philo sophical barber, but to beautic ians, who are of a different sort, using all types of mechanical mon sters (hair driers, etc.) to inflate, not deflate, the ego of the female. The women don't get a chance at the philosophic sheep-dip.
