Put Faith in God's Insight
TO THE EDITOR: Contrary to Mr. Serrill's edi
torial, "Faith in Science," run in the May 22
issue of The Daily Collegian, the consensus to
day is that there is an over-emphasis on tech
nology. The recent evaluation made it clear
that there is too much technical emphasis at
Penn State. The very mood created by tech
nology is not cheerful and exciting, it is anxious
and lost because spiritual values have not ad
vanced with technology.
The danger lies in the use of the vast powers
resulting from advanced technology by people
who lack responsibility to their fellows. Such
a person with the strength of an adult pro
duced by technology and with the responsibility
of a child having no sympathy for his fellows,
is a monster: such monsters are appearing with
more frequency as technology allows more peo
ple to control before they are prepared to do so.
If sciences won't save us in this world, what
will' Psychiatrist G. B. Chisholm has set forth
an answer based on responsible Christian love:
In order that the human race may survive on
this planet, it is necessary that there should
be enough people in the world who do not have
to fight each other, who are not the kinds of
people who will fight each othei-, and who are
the kinds of people who will take effective
measures whenever it is necessary to prevent
other peoples' fighting."
That sounds to me more like strong moral in
tegrity than strong technology, Which is why
the answer lies in denying neither technology
nor God, but instead in achieving a good bal
ance between technology and responsibility,
guided not by faith in the mind of man but by
faith in the insight of God.
'Only at Penn State .. .`
TO THE EDITOR: Only at Penn State could an
elephant cavort on the steps of a main campus
building unnoticed by some students.
Monday's showing of Judy, sponsored by the
Young Republicans Club. had some 200 on
lookers. Unfortunately, we do not know how
many students just passed by. Many did, and
they weren't all Democrats.
These were some of Penn State's apathetic
students.
It seems a shame that a childish demonstra
tion, such as that the freshman ROTC boys
from the West Dorms staged last week, aroused
so much interest and participation.
Ted Serrill goes to the plays on campus, sees
the elephant on the Mall, and although his
opinions are not universal, at least he is aware
—and not apathetic to the whole world about
him.
I definitely do not mean we should all be
come "gung ho." I'm writing this to advocate
awareness, and denounce apathy.
You're right, Mr. Serrill, the campus needs
some publicity and promotion gags. But, first
of all, it needs some public. A living, mature,
aware public!

Give R-and-B a Chance
TO THE EDITOR: In this controversy over the
merit of rhythm and blues music, we should
like to add our voices. To our minds, r-and-b
embodies much of the jazz tradition to Ameri
can music. It is different from the current
sophisticated modern jazz (this is not by any
means meant as a criticism to modern jazz)
and popular music because it is based primarily
on honest feeling which is not tempered with
any intellectual musical theories of counter
point, etc.
It is really a continuation of the Dixieland
tradition, not the commercial type which pre
dominates today, but the Old King Oliver.
Freddy Keppard stuff. This is because it is
played with real emotion—from the heart, so
to speak. The trumpet which used to serve
as the answer to the vocalist has been replaced
by the sax in rhythm and Blues.
In this pseudo-sophisticated college atmos
phere, real feeling is too often forgotten for
the cheap sentiment of the Jackie Gleason
variety. Many disc jockies criticize, as you do,
rhythm and blues without giving it a fair
chance. It is not a passing fad nor a momentary
craze. Unfortunately it has been capitalized
by such artists as Bill Haley and Mike Pedicin
whose rock and roll is far from rhythm and
blues . . . and the commercial pop singers as
Georgia Gibbs and Pat Boone who destroy its
essence because they lose its meaning.
This is our rather original theory. We feel
that rhythm and blues is to be encouraged as
part of American jars, not as a corruption of it.

Retain Our Faculty!
TO THE EDITOR: The graduate students of the
physics department wish to make known their
views on a situation which they feel is of great
consequence not only to the physics depart
ment but to the University as well.
We have been extremely fortunate to see
brought to the department physicists of superior
creative and teaching ability, only to experience
the misfortune of seeing them leave a short
time later.
Their presence has resulted in a period of
augmented intellectual stimulation, benefitting
thereby the students, the department, and the
University.
Having once secured such men, we feel that
the University should make reasonable efforts
to keep them here. In a number of cases, the
men of whom we speak have not been lost to
Industry (with which no University can com
pete salary-wise), but have gone to other uni
versities which have provided them with better
salaries and/or facilities than are available at
Penn State.
The situation described here may exist in
other departments, with similar detrimental ef
fects on the University. We do not attempt to
minimize the complexity of the problem nor
the difficulty in finding a solution but we feel
that conditions at Penn State should be made
such as to attract and retain these faculty
members.

Radio listeners at Penn•S
despite what anybody says abi
lately about Mutual Network's Bob and Ray Show.
From samples of some of this talk and comment we
gather that this unique show is
,going over in pretty
fashion in these parts.
- Coupling short samples of pop
ular music with their satirical ver
sions of current headline events,
the two have gathered for' them
selves a rapidly-growing follow
ing.
Such celebrated American in
stitutions as soap operas, give
away shows, celebrity interviews,
sports play-by-play, and tourna
ments have become the principal
targets of the humor of the two.
The comedy team started nine
years ago in Boston at station
WHDR. Bob was a disc jockey
and Ray was a spot news an
nouncer. Ray began to stray from
his regularly scheduled newscasts
and interrupt the record show.
From then on, the zany pair
began to make this chit-chat a
part of the show and the local
Boston listeners were delight
ed. Thus the off-beat humor
was born, and it has carried all
the way to the George Foster
Peabody award for the "best in
radio entertainment."
Both Elliot and Goulding are
Boston-born and both showed
early show business interests. Ray
became a radio announcer at 17,
and after an Army stint came

tate (and there still are some,

back to the Boston radio station
where he and Bob patented "mus

Bob did radio work while still
in high school and then - entered
the Feagin School of Drama and
Radio in New York. After this
he haunted radio stations until
he got his first announcer's Job
in 1941. He joined Ray in Boston
in 1946.
The Bob and Ray Show, which
is carried twice daily by Mutual,
is recorded during the mid-day
period and the tapes are sent over
the air at different times in the
