Reid Urges Peace
in Racial Problems
The road to racial peaCe'is - a - long one—one that - bears
watching if that which is moral and ethical is to come to
life; and the world has to move on this road or in the opposite
direction, warned Dr. Ira De A. Reid at the fifth annual
Brotherhood Banquet.
Reid referred to the four famous ancient roads of Damas-
cus, Jerusalem, Jericho and
Irasthmus because of their ability
to survive the many hardships
and attacks against them. The
road to peace is not one of these
ancient roads, but a combination
of all four, he said Wednesday.
Mankind's bitterest struggles
are not of wars but of national
ism, religion, race and economics,
Reid said, and nationalistic and
economic problems have tended
to be solved in the course of
years, while those of religion and
race still remain. We live in a
sort of armistice with these two
problems.
If Europeans hid not moved
fiom one country to another,
many problems would not have
arisen. But in a world of com
munication, isolationism is a road
which, leads to artificial peace,
he said.
. The question which is in the
minds of everyone today, Reid
Review of Wcilker Article:
Defeat 'Faculty Conservatism'
Among , the suggestions for
modernizing 'scientific educa
tion listed by President Eric
A. Walker in a recent article
is a plea for education research
in an attempt to "overcome the
faculty conservatism that
keeps us from increasing the
aciericy cf the leachers."
In an article -iu "Brainpower
Quest," a book . published by the
Macmillan Company, Walker
called this "an obligation" not on
ly, "to ourselves and to our effort
to keep our higher-education sys
tem healthy, but it is also an obli
gation we have to those whom we
serve." -
Walker analyzed the problem
of scientific' education as the
need to develop the -scientist
engineer-lerhnirian team," not
only as a scientific problem but

By CATHY FLECK
said, is "how to deal with peace
in such a way that it can be
achieved?"
He said the United States has
achieved this peace partially
through the introduction of all
peoples into the armed forces: the
various labor acts which dealt
away with discrimination in job
fields, and the Supreme Court de
cisions. Reid said that he feels
that unless the U.S. is able to im
plement these measures into peo
ple's daily lives, the road traveled
since the Civil War may be
destroyed.
Reid cited the University be
cause of its equality of oppor
tunity for everyone regardless of
race and religion. He said since
the University has achieved this
equality it should strive to keep
it. Now youth must be given a
chance to walk these roads to
peace, he said.
as a part of U.S. culture. Sci
entific people, he said, have re
sponsibilities in both of these
aspects of their - field—"to un
derstand the theory of their
work" and to "take a second
look at what they are doing."
The first of these responsibili
ties, Walker said, is an outgrowth
of the changing methods in sci
ence. The trial and error method
is becoming- less important, he
said, and in its place science is
developing the method of "theory
. . . first and experimentation
later."
The second responsibility is
the result of the increasing im
pact of science on society. Walk
er said, whereby the engineers
and scientists "are changing the
face of the earth and are re
vising our social and economic
systems."
Therefore, he said, "it is proper
for society" to demand of them
"a sense of social responsibility."

Tunisian President
Threatens War
TUNIS, Feb. 13 (I}—President Habib Bourguiba declared
today, "We are ready to make war for Bizerte." But he held
open the door to mediation by the United States of Tunisia's
quarrel with France.
"The President also suggested in a broadcast to his tense
nation that, while he is deter
mined 15,000 French troops sta
tioned in Tunisia must go, the big
French naval base at Bizerte
might still be used by the North
Atlantic Treaty powers.
That base and French army
_garrisons are blockaded. Jittery
Tunisian civilians and national
guardsmen, patroling with light
arms. - manned roadblocks to
prevent the movement of
French troops. They threatened
to fire on any French ships at
tempting to enter or leave
Bizerte.
Bourguiba's blue eyes flashed
as he spoke on this sixth day of
a crisis brought on by a French
air raid on the frontier village of
Sakiet Sidi Youssef.
Tuinsia put the toll at 68 men,
women and- children killed, 84
wounded and 10 not accounted
for.
The French said the raid was
to punish Algerian rebels who
had fired on French planes from
their border hideouts in Tuni
sia. But several diplomats, in
eluding U. S. Ambassador G.
Lewis Jones. are reported to
have confirmed that there were
heavy civilian casualties.
Using international reaction to
the bombing as a springboard,
Bourguiba has been trying once
again to force withdrawal of
French trocips who remained in
the country when France recog
nized Tunisian independence
nearly two years ago.
The trouble began when French
soldiers entered the sovereign
country of Tunisia,• allegedly in
pursuit of Algerian rebels. The
Tunisian government protested
the action to the UN.
Tunisia is an ex-French colony
and is located between Algeria
and Libya.

- Walker's trichotomy of the sci
entist-engineer-technician team
gives a picture of the modern Sci
entific method. As he describes
it, "the scientist deals with ideas;
he tries to find out 'why' and to
fit nature's facts into a logical
equation or theory," although he
"may not produce immediate tan-1
gible results."
The engineers. Walker said,
make up the creative element
which takes basic scientific dis
coveries and turns them into
"ideas, plans, and blueprints
which can fin- human needs.
"The technician." Walker said,
"must be an intelligent follower
able to carry out accurately and
completely the directions he re
ceives from the scientist or engi
neer."
The technician, -Walker indi
cated, turns the ideas - , - plans and
Tendof the engineer into
end products ready for human
consumption and use.

Exec Board
Enlargement
Is Proposed
The University"will move Mon
day to increase the elected mem
bers of the Board of Trustees
executive committee from seven
to nine and to change the proce
dure for electing alumni mem
bers of the board.
A petition will be presented in
Centre County court Monday to
ask approval of an amendment to
the University charter to effect
the changes.
If the court approves the peti
tion it will go to the State Coun
cil of Education at Harrisburg for
approval and then back to the
court for final disposition.
Members of the executive com
mittee are chosen by ballot at
the annual meeting of the board.
The two ex-officio members of
the board are not affected by the
' proposed amendment. The ex
officio members are the president
of the corporation, who is also
president of the board and chair
man of the executive committee,
and the president of the Univer
sity, who is the recording secre
tary for the board and for the ex
ecutive committee.
The alumni have nine repre
sentatives on the board. Three are
elected each year for three year
terms. Under the amendment,
alumni will vote for trustees one
year after graduation or one year
after having left, instead of three
years as is done now.
Alumni will be required to be
members of the Alumni Associa
tion or contributors to the Alum
ni Fund to qualify for the offi
cial mailing list. This requirement
was proposed because of the.
growing cost of mailing separate
nomination and election ballots
to 43.000 alumni, only 20 per cent
of whom reply.
Ballots will be made available
to other alumni upon request. To
encourage their participation an
application form will be print
ed in The Penn Stater which is
mailed four times annually to all
alumni.
