Vacation Policy Protested
TO THE EDITOR: For some time,
the University administration has
been painting a picture of a grow
ing intellectual community at
Penn .State. We have heard a
great deal about the development
of this University as one of the
best schools in the countrv.
We are told that the public will
expect a great deal of sophistica
tion from a graduate of this Uni
versity. This is as it should be.
However, the administration of
Penn Stale is not consistent.
First, they do - not have the
foresight to allow students to join
their families for the’ Thanksgiv
ing holiday. It would have been
a simple .matter /to cancel the
classes on Friday and Saturday
following Thanksgiving. After all.
the University, administration has
added a thrpe day examination
period to the regular term. This
lack of foresight is bad enough
in itself, but ft is made a thou
sand times worse by .certain-de
partment? within the. University,
namely the English department.
This department has instructed
the/ English professors to note
the names of any students who

Brotherhood Religion Plea Lauded
TO THE EDITOR: (Re: Letter
from Barbara Evans, Nov. 9). Paul
Tillich, a modem theologian, de
fines religion as "the ultimate
concern of every individual "
Hence, it is our opinion that the
advertisement for Brotherhood
Religion was the most significant
ad that The Daily Collegian has
published.
If, in Miss Evans' opinion, it
was rin bad taste -for a liberal
new to publish this article,
may we assume from her logic
could print the .same article in
good taste?
And of what consequence is
grammar, style, and punctuation?
This is clearly nrgumentum ad
homimim! Obviously. Mr. Arnold
intended -to convey certain ideas
of "ultimate concern”—not ex
amples of exaction literary form.
We sincerely believe that- Mr.
Arnold's plea for world unity un
der -Clod is offensive to no- re
ligion, and in fact, man should
consecrate his utmost endeavor
tow.ud'this goal! /
