Freedom of Thought
Essential Today
Pennsylvanians, Americans, and members
of the United Nations we enjoy today certain
defined freedoms, among which is the liberty of
free worship. This week at Penn State we are
c ? by. a living and working example
of this essential liberty, represented in Reli
gion-m-Life Week.
. We are fortunate to have such an example
as . we are fortunate to have such a freedom,
without interference by government, without
the force of armed soldiers, and without the
pressure of totalitarian rulers. This freedom
enjoyed carelessly here today, is impossible and
non-existent m many areas of the present-dav
world.
This freedom is evidenced by the feeling that
even the atheist would not denv the right to
ts }°se who wish to take part in RILW. The words
of Voitaire are relevant today—l disapprove of
what you say, but I will defend to the death
your right to say it. .
But let us allow this Week to give us the
chance to reflect on. our freedom. The first
amendment to the United States constitution,
wherein our freedom of religion is expressed
also relates the freedoms of speech and of the
press. The Bill of Rights of the United Nations
sets up not only freedom of religion, but the
light to freedom of thought and conscience.
.Bet us look at the state of these liberties today
Although protected under the same legis
lation these important freedoms are falling
to the wayside, being canceled by "more im
portant liberties of war, destruction, and
mob ideas. Oaths, doubts, and fears restrict
1 thought and speech freedom; the nervous band
of apprehension and dread slaps down the
voice o£ the truth. Laws, bans, and fears of
condemnation choke the very sources of news
paper freedom.
We are living in a time when truth and lib-
are mortal yirtues, becoming ephemeral,
pei haps soon to disappear. If this were to hap
penour country will have lost the battle fSr
nght by becoining its own enemy; we may com
nut the murder of freedom by legislating to
protect liberty.
This then is a lesson we may take from this
Week.We must think now so religious freedom
like these others, might not be washed away
today 6 fl °° d ° f fearS legislated into the people
Let us set up new hope for new freedom.
Let us be unafraid to face the fearful little
men who would tear our liberty from its
pedestal.
Joint Open Houses
An Excellent Idea
The proposed combined open houses which
arose out of the recent Inter-School Coordinat
ing Board meetings is something which should
be watched carefully with a view toward mak
mg it a regular affair in the future.
Unfortunately, the late date of the affair
may be a drawback to the success of the pro
r_^rn *. May 2, most high school students
who intend going to a college have pretty
Tuf” - 5? ec , lde . d where- they wish to go.
The ideal situation would be for these open
houses to be held in the fall, with all the
schools participating.
re - al wor fo °f the combined open house
, ldea hes in providing a mixed high school group
with an opportunity to split up into smaller
groups of people whose interests lie along one
hf 1 ®- those interested in engineering could
w>-3 e op ? n house being held in the School
of Engineering, while those who have tenden
that schools display! visit
the Pfh each school held.its open house
at different times. That they might not have
been big successes is easy to understand when
one considers the difficulty in gathering to
* ittsm a&attgh Aseue of hi&h school stu-
—Marshall O. Donley
THE DAILY COLLEGTAN STATE COLLEGE
dents interested in one phase of a college edu
hiake a trip to Penn State worthwhile.
With the joint open house plans, “entire senior
high school classes can make such a trip and
still be sure of finding something to interest
every individual in the- group. , -
Unfortunately, this Year's, combined open
house will be lacking thd- participation of two
of the schools of the College—Agriculture and-
Home Economics! These: schools had already
made extensive program arrangements which
could not be changed before the combined
idea was considered. If the program proves
successful, -these schools should plan lo hold
their open houses in conjunction with those
of the other schools in the future.
Safety Valve
Keep Classical Music
TO THE EDITOR: In a recent “Strictly
tr PP?~ Ungar column you mentioned that a
petition was being circulated to-have classical
music replaced by hit tunes in the West Dorm
dining halls. -1. strongly object to this proposal
and am convinced that those people in accord
with it are already taking WMAJ’s course
Groovology 54.”
I cannot appreciate the thought of sifting
down to a meal and having Tin Pan Alley's
worst pushed down my throat with other in
cncfesiibles. Those who make Ihis request
should realize that, one person's interpretation
of hit music is not another's. It is hard to see
the foods department taking popularity polls,
then running to the nearest record emporium
to pick up these gems at its own expense, of
course.
, __ Some of the music we now hear is popular.
Khachatunan’s “Gayne Ballet .Suite” contains
the Sabre Dance” which was on the hit parade
not so long ago. Gershwin’s “American in Paris”
is played often and contains popular tunes such
as “Our Love Is Here to Stay.”
Though I do not necessarily' believe that
classical music is the "THING" to listen. to,
I do think that its place is in the dining hall.
Lets keep it there just for the sake of digest
ibility.

Less than a month ago on the
campus of Penn State, the in
famous crime of examination
stealing and selling was revealed
in all its- true dastardly colors.
But no one has yet uncovered a
method whereby the dirty crim
inals may be brought to justice.
We have a way! Through the
sleuthery of Sergeant Sunday and
Sherlock Roams, we will see the
deed unfold before our very eyes!
THE MYSTERY OF THE
STOLEN EXAMS, or. Don't
Send Me to Penn Stale, Mother,-
We Can't Afford the Finals:
. The hour—midnight; the place
—Sparks. Outside the . mimeo
graphing room stands a black
robed figure, wearing mask, and
gloves, working quietly on the
door lock. Time passes. There -is
a click. The door opens, and the
sinister figure creeps into'-'the
room, hastens to a pile of papers
and; by the light of a match, se
lects a few and pockets them,
then hurries , out. .As he, shuts, the
door, he catches the cuff ; of. his
sleeve, but rips it free. He 'crfeeps
away. ■ - .
, Three weeks later, in the Cam
pus Patrol .office,, -three, men are
.talking: --
“Are you two the men from the
FBI?”
“Yer right, there, bob; we’re the
ones, righto.”
■ Yeah, our job is to' get them.”
- “You’re Sergeant Sunday?”
The short, dramatic detective
nods dramatically. 1
“And you’re Sherlock Roams,
from England?”
“Righto, chappie. I’m the bloke.”
‘ Well, I’ll tell you why you’re
here. We’ve been having some
trouble .with examination papers.;
ijA copy of them has been stolen
and then sold to students';- Your
job, find the thief.”
"Righto,". says the. taller de-3
tective, puffing on his pipe. The:’
shorter one > nods dramatically.
They walk out. heels clicking
on the Old Main bricks. ■
. “What do you think, Sunday?”
asks the tall one. .;
“I don’t know. Let’s go up to
this building they call Sparks and
look around. We might find some-;
thing.” ;•
“Righto.” ■
A few minutes later, in the
mimeographing room in Sparks;
the two detectives are looking
around Roams is roaming back
and forth around the mimeograph
machine. Sunday is leaning on the
wall in one corner; puffing on a
cigarette. He speaks first: /
“I don’t like the idea of this?
No standard MO. Doesn’t look
like they broke-in,..can’t .get. them
for 179-235-278,, page, 48372,;,.5e.c£,l
.THURSDAY, .FEBRUARY/.19,-1953
tion 8594, paragraph 48279,’ sen
tence 48 or the penal code.' But,
wait, Roams. Look at this. A-burnt
match shaped like ■ a gas' pump.
And it says Zoomoco Gas on "it.
This may be a clue.”
"Bui, look, 'old mein," adds
Roams. "Thai match couldn't
have been here for three, weeks,
it would'have been cleaned, up,
don't you see?"
"Don't be silly. Roams. This is
Penn State, not U of P. These
farmers don't clean up.
“Righto, old main. But, say,
check this-—a piece, of torn, bla£k
cloth caught on the door. It'may
mean something.”
“Let me see. Hmmm. I think
you’re right.. You have got some
thing. And I. think I have--the
answer to the whole crime.’!-.. -
“By Jove,” says Roams.
“No, by deduction,” answers
the dramatic detective. “Listen.
Who is the richest person in a
college., town?” -•' •
“The pub owner, no doubt.”
“Right. So let’s be on our way.”
Some minutes later the two de
tectives' are seated at the Pow
Wow, finishing a bottle. The
Englishman speaks:
“So where’s the criminal?”
“I’m afraid we’re 'on a false
lead, Roams,” the dramatic detec
tive says, dramatically. “We didn’t
figure on. this being just a beer
borough, .Someone else must, get
the money here.”
"Yes. Let's ask the bartender.
Maybe he'll know who gets the
students' money. Hey, Bill/'
(They had been there a while
. now , and could call the bar
tender by name.)
. “Yeah.” .
the money in this
borough,. anyway? It doesn’t look
like you. get it here.” .
.“Oh, you better check the movie
houses. All the students go there; *
they make -millions.”
The two detectives (after a few
more 1 rounds) left the bar and,
after checking with a phone book,
went to the mansion of the owner
of the borough movie houses. They
knocked un the door. The butler
’answers': •
“Yeas.” '
. “We’re from the FBI,” says Sun-’
day, dramatically. “Does your
boss have ar-chauffeur?”
* "Yeas." answered the butler,
"I serve as both butler and
chauffeur. What can I do for
-you?":'
t "Come with us," Sunday says
dramatically. "You're under ar
rest."
