Of course. it's much too early to tell, yet, but Thursday night's Cabinet meeting sounded very encouraging. A new culture plan was proposed under which student le& would be increased two dollars a semester. To the individual student whose total bill will be raised this may seem like just another one of those little extras the University tacks onto the fees ever so often. This will be the case especially to those student's who aren't interested in the kind of programs which may be coming to •_he University under the new plan. However, when the present state of "culture" is viewed closely, two dollars per student is a paltry sum. Culture here cannot go anywhere but up. It has hit bottom. And the plan pre sented to Cabinet by Dr. Albert Christ-Janer, director of the School of the Arts. seems to be the means to getting culture back on the up ward swing. The increased interest in the Community Concert series gives some small indication that Penn State students really do want some type of culture.' The new culture plan is the step which might firmly entrench a solid culture program at Penn State. As Chrirt.Janer said and we hope Cabinet realizes it, the decision was a momentous one. Hymn Rehearsal Gives Meaning to Music TO THE EDITOR: Activity is the essence of true religion. Through such activity one may • seek and find religious truth, and still have the means by which he can dedicate himself to it and live according to it. Activity is the essence of a living religion, and there is no disortion produced by linking educational activity to re ligious activity. Education exists for something, and religion is the proper means for seeking these goals. When religion has become a passive means for the many and has limited its action to the few. it is generally ripe for reformation. With this in mind the Roman Catholic church for many years has been reforming its liturgy to give the congregation a greater part in its action. Protestantism has its roots in the affirmation that the layman has an active part to live in the religious life. Corporate worship for both these Christian traditions is led by a priest or a minister, but he performs his action in the name of the congregation. The Jewish syno gogue developed out of response to the realize.. tion that the ultimate in religious action need not take place at the Temple in Jerusalem. which by then had been destroyed. A problem which religious groups have always had to face has been: how can the greatest sense of participation and action be effected among people, who, left to their own devices. might shun activity altogether. In the case of the University Chapel, there is a two-fold ten dency which must be counter-acted. 1. The service must not become a Sunday morning lecture on religion. 2. Neither must the service by a Sunday morning recital featuring the choir and the clergy. To offset these tendencies, the congre gation has been invited actively to participate by reading the psalms and some prayers_and by singing- the hymns and some _responses. It is assumed that the vast majority of col lege students may be able to read the words ' TOMIIMIIIMP LOX AND BAGEL BRUNCH.. 11-12 noon. Hillel. ELECTIONS COMMITTEE, 7 p.m.. Daily Collegian Office.

PENNSYLVANIA DAVE RICHARDS, Business Manager A University as large as this one should have many things to keep up standards. It needs so many things that there isn't enough money to get them all—not all at once, anyhow. But the poor state of culture has been existing for too long. A good culture program is an absolute must. The almost total absence of culture here though is due in great part to the students. No culture program, no matter how well organized. can work without all-out student support and interest. So finally the students who weep at the lack of culture are getting their chance. Indications are that if the students show interest the ad ministration will be favorable to such a plan as the one presented to Cabinet. The possible attractions that might be booked for the campus is impressive. Victor Borge, Raymond Massey, Catherine Cornell. and the Boston Symphony are top-flight and they will add great prestige to the University by coming here. But most of all, the students will benefit by hearing and seeing these people. This might, as we have said, be hard to understand for some students.-However, the in crease in fees will be well worth the benefit that more culture will bring to the University and the students. in the service. But can they read the music? Most of us come from churches which thrive on the singing of the - sentimental lullabyes" and ''bombastic warhorses - of the nineteenth century pietism. What happens when we are confronted with the older hymns which give our faith its tra ditional significance or the equally inspired newer hymns which give this same faith modern meaning? Their very newness distracts us from their content. What might have' been an act of religious devotion becomes a musical frenzy in which one cannot see the meaning for all the notes and words. To assist the congregation in becoming fa miliar with these new hymns, it has been de cided to let the choir lead in the learning of the hymns before .the service has begun so that the service itself may have more meaning. There is ample and distinguished precedent for this step: at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City, a similar policy has been inaug'irated. Before the Sunday morning service, ti.! congregation of several thousand is led in the hymns, chants and service music for the day. New York Cathedral has a highly liturgical service, but recognizes that the mean ing of any effective liturgy must lie in the per sons of those worshiping. By following this policy, the chapel has no plans of becoming denominational. Because of its inter-denominational character, the chapel must unite all Christians. of all denominations. in the worship of their unique God. It must glean the meaning of denominational life and refine this meaning with the meaning of Christ. The chapel has no place at the University unless it conforms to the high standards of the University. Living ,education demands activity on the part of the learner. Living religion de mands_activity on the part of- those who adhere to it.

M. ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst Britain and France gave no indication that they will heed the United Nations appeal for a cease-fire in Egypt. Instead, reports from Paris and Anthony Eden'S refusal to promise abstinence indicate the two Western powers are about to begin land operations. France says reduction of Egypt's air power in preparation for the entry of troops is about complete. It appears that whatever reply the two governments will make to, the UN will be made against the; background of a continuing opera-1 tion The United States went• to the UN with a limited objective, at any rate, and it was achieved. It was to focus world opinion against the use of war as an •army of diplomacy. Seldom has there been such a display of unanimity in the organization. Even among the Commonwealth members, Britain was able to carry along only Aus tralia and New Zealand. The United States and the Unit ed Nations now face a period in which they can do little except talk and wait until something happens to end the fighting. • There seems to be a possibility that Israel will withdraw from the Sinai Peninsula, keeping the Gaza Strip and ending operations in that sector. Prompt world re action against her attack, especial ly the disapproval of the United States, may make her think twice before undertaking operations in Jordan. - The Anglo-French operation seems likely to continue until there is an imposed quiet or until President Nasser of Egypt is forced out in favor of a regime which will accept international control of the Suez Canal. Two ironies have developesl out of the situation. - J3ritain and France, who made such a. to-do about keeping the canal open to international traf fic, have closed it. - Nasser, who was going to get Anglo-American financing for his big Aswan Dam project, lost it by mortgaging Egypt's economic fu ture to Russia in return for arms. Now the airplanes; the most im portant part of the Russian ship- Ments, are gone or practically gone, and the rest seems likely to go,- so that- Egypt will be left with nothing except a big debt. Nasser himself seems likely to go. too. France arid Britain Could 'have destroyed Nasser but not the arms without resorting to war. There is I a good, chance -that they .could have neutralized the arms without resorting to war. Economic and political presSures would have done it in time.
