Faculty Ought to Join
University faculty members ought to consider joining
the campaign urging the $23 million appropriation for
Penn State, since they seem to be bearing the brunt of
past and current austerity periods. •
The American Association of University Professors
annually rates the salaries of university faculty members
on a scale of double A, A, B, C, D, E, and F.
In 1958-59, Penn State received a D rating and all
other Pennsylvania "State" Colleges except one received
and E rating or below. Such is the state of higher educa
tion in Pennsylvania.
The AAUP usually gets the salary figures on which
to base its rating from the university and college admin
istrations.
Since 1958-59 the Penn State administration has re
f used to supply this information. Consequently, Penn State
was not rated last year and this year the local AAUP
chapter has had to institute a survey to compile the
for the rating.
The administration said that the faculty salary infor
mation was not provided this year because the Pennsyl
vania Association of Colleges and Universities last October
passed a resolution in which its members decided not to
release such figures.
But some of these colleges have already sent in the
information for this year.
Apparently the "D" and "E" ratings embarrassed the
other members.
We see no reason for the administration to be em
barrassed. Rather it is .the state legislature which should
be ashamed to see the state schools of Pennsylvania near
the bottom of this national chart.
A booklet published by the Uni - Versity titled "Penn
State and the Future of Pennsylvania." illustrates that
Penn State's faculty salaries rank very low in comparison
to nine state universities with whiCh it competes most
actively for competent scholars and scientists.
Penn State ranks 7th in compensation of instructors,
Bth at the full professor level and 9th at the associate
professor and assistant professor levels.
If Penn State's appropriation is limited to the $l7 mil
lion currently recommended by the governor, the faculty.
will take it on the chin again.
The deplorable faculty salary scales should not be
hidden but rather should be waved in front of the men
who will determine whether they improve or not.

Letters
Fix Sentences
Decried Again
TO THE EDITOR: In regard to
Mr. Blum's article in Wednes
day's Collegian, I too cannot
see what motivated Judge
Ganey in giving such light
sentences to these men who
perpetrated a crime of such
magnitude (if one were to try
to estimate the money illegal
ly made). It would seem that
this Judge is setting a prece
dent not only for following
decisions, but also for any
other executive who, having
similar ideas and not fearing
the light sentences, wishes to
enter into 'collusion' as if it
were a game (price fixers vs.
consumer demand),
. Some say that since they did
not take any money personally,
only the corporations are liable
according to the 'separate enti
ty concept'. But they do not
see that the executives were
probably looking forward to
other rewards not in the mone
tary vein, such as company
prestige, possible promotions
in job (many were only v.p.'s),
country club presidencies and
even election to the Board of
Directors.
But the worst is yet to come,
for these men who are syn
onymous with cancerous tissue
are being placed again into
positions, if not the same, of
equal importance. In their new
jobs they will have the re
newed opportunity to spread
their disease to the consuming
public.
Just What Is .
Mature Fun?
TO THE EDITOR: (In rebut
tal. to Neil C. Buckley's letter.)
After reading your . letter, I
wondered what you would
have us do for "mature" rec
reation. You, Mr. Buckley,
have criticized the clean fun
on campus, but gave no ex
amples of what you consider
mature fun; and you also made
no mention of where we should
go to have this kind of fun.
As for Sunday night's con
cert—many people on campus,
and an equal amount of others
who came just to see it, thought
it was excellent. I'd like to add
at this point, that Ray Charles
and his band are considered
some o 7 the best jazz men in
the nation today.
I'd like also to say that Ray
Charles DOES NOT play rock
'n' rol. He is strictly a jazz
and rhythm and blues man.
And I soberly declare that
there is a difference between
rock 'n' roll and rhythm and
blues.
Now if this is immature fun,
please tell us what mature fun

More Charles Controversy
TO THE EDITOR: I would like, if I may, to comment on the
misconceptions concerning the Ray Charles concert. As a member
of the Jazz Club, I can truthfully say that this concert was
successful despite the fact that I am not a Charles fan. Mr.
Buckley's criticism, however, had no value whatsoever since
he was not at the concert and,
therefore, did not hear the first
half of it.
Dave Newman is one of the
top soloists of jazz in the coun
try. I hardly think a musician
of this kind would tolerate
Ray Charles if he were strictly
a rock and roll artist. Never
theless, the main criticism has
been aimed at Charles rather
than his personnel.
On the other hand, Mr.
Schmitt and Mr Roth had this
to say yesterday: "Everyone
came to Rec Hall expecting a
performance such as the one
they received." This is some
what true, since the majority
of the people who went to see
Charles were rock and roll
fans
I believe the members of the
Jazz Club expected to see and
hear more jazz than was play
ed by Ray Charles; however,
I also believe that Charles him
self had an "off night" as far
as his general performance was
concerned.
Not everyone came to Bee
Hall to hear rock and roll, but
whether they did or not, they
certainly received an earful.
Therefore, the Jazz Club mem
bers, particularly, did not ex-

'may show contributed strong

highly dangerous Communist
power in the world..
.Since then the Soviets have
zigzagged between a well
feigned attitude of peaceful•
ness, military belligerence and
political boorishness.
Peacefulness is the Soviet
mode of the moment, and so
President Kennedy is sending
another message to Moscow

Thompson.
The administration appar

view, which Prime Minister
Harold Macmillan has been at
tempting to sell ever since his
visit to Moscow last year, that
Khrushchev really is interest

The administration, howev

adopting the view; also preval

pect to hear a performance of
this kind. Why should they?
They were expecting to hear
jazz at its best, but did not.
It is, indeed, difficult to put
Ray Charles in any one cate
gory. I hesitate when I hear
some people say he is a jazz
musician. Also, this transition
al period between rock and
roll and rhythm and blues has
caused a bitter controversy. I
prefer the latter. What I can
not understand is—why Ray
Charles? Why not someone
with a real background of jazz
—someone that. is more of a
REAL jazz musician.
- Are we going to let the Artist
Series outdo the Jazz Club by
presenting someone like Erroll
Garner, and the IFC by -pre
senting the respectable George
Shearing. These two just men
- tioad are truly jazz giants.
On the other hand, I realize
that those who like Ray Charles
will stick to their choice; those
people who do not like Charles
will naturally stick to their
choice. I am therefore a bit
skeptical as to whether•or not
this controversy will ever be
confined or settled.
