11. The New Chapel: Picking a Style
,(Last of two editorials on the new AU-
Faith. Chapel.)
The current squabble over the architectural
style of the new All-Faith Chapel overlooks -the
real problem: lack of a consistent architectural
style in University buildings.
Forces are now circulating petitions that ad
vocate changing the style of the new chapel
from Georgian to contemporary. Supporters of
these petitions have attacked Georgian design
as outmoded and. have allied it to a particular
religious belief. They have, in general, a favored
contemporary design.
Whether the chapel itself is of Georgian or
contemporary design is rather insignificant. The
real question is: how long will the University
continue to construct buildings, each of a dif
ferent style?
Because there has been no really consistent
architectural style at Penn State, the campus
has become a hodge-podge of architecture. What
is the vogue today may be archaic in a few
short years. As a result of this unplanned oper
ation, the campus lacks the uniformity that
would add much to its beauty.
One need only compare the University
The Big Top
Spread the sawdust and strike up the band.
The circus is in town—via your nearest tele
vision set. The McCarthy-Army controversy is
on the air.
The entire handling of charges that there was
unlawful pressure put on the Army in David
Schine's behalf is questionable. Emotional ap
peals, vague denials, and countless counter
accusations seem to be the stock-in-trade of
this hearing. A good offense is proving to be
the best defense, it seems, for an indefensible
position.
Confusing the issue is an old dodge that
fools none who keep a level head. One can only
hope that McCarthy's many countercharges will
not hide the real issues in this case: Was there
pressure put on the Army to lighten the duties
of Schine?
The most recent of the charges hurled, in
obvious desperation, against Assistant Secretary
of Defense H. Struve Hensel, had no substance
whatever. They had even less substance than
those against scientist Robert Oppenheimer a
few weeks ago—so much less that Secretary of
Defense Charles E. Wilson himself discounted
the possibility of any truth in the charges.
McCarthy is obviously cornered, and fighting
for his political life. It's an outcome that few
foresaw—though many welcome—in his short,
but influential, career.
Of course yesterday's show is only the begin
ning. It should get bigger and better as the
plot thickens—and the clowns come in.
Debate Champions
The University gained national recognition
last week through the excellent performance of
the women's debate squad in the Grand Na
tional Debate Tournament at Washington Mary
College of the University of Virginia. The Penn
State women won four national titles in the
tournament.
Students should take pride in the accomplish
ments of these women, who have demonstrated
the ability of Penn Staters to finish at the top
in all types of national collegiate competitions.
The University needs more than athletic titles
to keep its name in the news. Groups such as the
women debaters are responsible for a well
rounded sort of recognition.
By calling attention to the record of the debate
squad, students can show their appreciation for
persons who are doing a fine job of represent
ing Penn State.

Library, Willard Hall, and the new Student
Union to see the inconsistency in design. Add
to these Sparks Building, Whitmore Laboratory,
and Old Main to further illustrate the variance.
Those who believe the chapel should be con
temporary are not very far-sighted. How con
temporary will the Student Union be in 15 or
20. years? Should buildings •of the 1970 s and
1980 s• also be built on .a contemporary design?
What is contemporary today is not necessarily
contemporary in the future.
There has been, it seems, a general pattern
of modified Georgian architecture on campus.
But modifications have weighed so heavily that
consistency has• been sacrificed. The new Stu
dent Union is of a modern flavor, but has been
designed to fit into the scheme of campus build
ings. This, in itself, brings, an almost new type
of structure to campus.
It seems advisable that one distinct style be
chosen for campus buildings, and that style
followed closely. Perhaps then, Penn State could
become either a red brick and vine-covered
university or a glass-walled modern university.
At least, it would have a personality of its own.

Hits ROTC Editorial
TO THE EDITOR: After reading (Tamsin
Bloom's) editorial "Campus Grass and the Mili
tary Step," we have a suggestion to offer you—
get the facts, ma'am, get the facts! Not only
did you not have the facts, but your article
was very carelessly written.
... you got off on the wrong foot by getting
confused about Monday and Tuesday . . .
AFROTC (does not) have leadership laboratory
on Monday. Obviously you meant Tuesday.
Then you continued by criticizing the
AFROTC department for conducting "rainy
day drills." You should have stopped to think
that there might have been a reason for march
ing in marginal weather conditions . . . it was
decided to have the .cadets . inarch because, of the
lack of time to prepare -for the important in
spection (April 27.)
_ According to the buildings and grounds de
partment, the drill in the rain did no more
harm to the grass than an ordinary sunny day
drill.
We heartily agree ..that a new drill field
should be locateit:ls - iiraintil it is, we wish you
would get the. facts about ROTC drill—or not
write about 'it at all.

Collegiate Chatter
The Rev. William F. Cunningham, professor of education at
Notre Dame University. recently defined the specific and essential
. -
function of a Catholic college.
It is, he maintains, the "development .of 'its students as contribut
ing citizens in a free society and apostolic members of the Church."
Having explained this precept,
Father Cunningham specifies
"what college is not" in his new
book, "General Education and the
Liberal College."
First, "A college is not a clinic
or a hospital, though it will safe
guard the health of its students
and promote vigorous living on
the campus as the best guarantee
of health in later life."
Second, "it is not an orphan
asylum or a home, but it will man
ifest paternal solicitude for the
well-being of its students and ex
ercise a fatherly care in all spheres
of life."
Third, "a college is not farm,
factory, store or office, but it will
give a fundamentally broad train
ing 'that will prepare its students
to become efficient producers of
gdods and services."
Fourth, "it is not a park or coun
try' club, but it will give a well
planned program of social activi
ties and physical education."
Fifth, "a college is not a monas
tery or a church, but it will have
a vital religious . program which
. . . will develop the moral virtues .
through a life of Christian:ielf--
denial on campus."

The • Maryland Diamondback,
University of Maryland, thinks
there is a subtle analogy between
women and tobacco. It declares:
"Sophomores want their women
to . be like cigarettes, slender and
trim, all in a row, to be selected
at will, set aflame, and when the
flame has subsided, discarded only
to select another.
"A junior wants his woman to
be like a cigar. They're more 'ex
pensive, make a better appearance
and last longer.
"A senior wants his girl to be
like a pipe, something he becomes
attached to, knocks gently but
lovingly and takes great care of
at all times. •
"A man will give you a cigar
ette, offer you a cigar, but will
never share his pipe."
