NO STRUMMING ALLOWED on ihe classical guitar, which requires nearly all fingers
to be at work simultaneously. Geoffrey S. Holister, professor of engineering mechanics,
i Is one of ihe few classical guitar virtuosos in the state. Here he shows the technique to
Alice Paterson (81h-English-Hunlingdon).
Engineering Professor
Plays Classical Guitar
Once a week an engineering
professor lays down his slide
rule, puts aside his research on
man- made composite ma
terials, and disappears into a
small room where he spends
the day vibrating strings.
A mad scientist?
Not really. For Geoffrey S.
Holister, professor of engi
neering mechanics, is also one
of the few classical guitar
virtuosos in the state. And on
a part-time basis he’s teaching
students the i first classical
guitar courses eyer held at the
University.
This engineer’s part-time ap
pointment to the music depart- ’
ment makes the University one
of the few universities in the
'nation offering classical guitar
instruction to students.
In fact, trained classical
guitarists are so hard to come
by that less than a handful in
the state are qualified to, teach.
But no beatniks, pop dr folk
guitarists need apply for Hol
ister’s course.
Bau Habits
He is firmly discouraging
such fans, not because he dis
approves of their music, but
because he says that type of
guitar playing teaches them bad
habits . . . habits that are dif
ficult to break.
“They learn to hold the
fingerboard like n baseball bat
and the fingers of the right
hand become immobile from
holding a pick. In the classical
guitar, virtually all the fingers
are at work simultaneously and
independently,” Holister said
in a recent interview.
The two instrments are dif
ferent—so different that he
thinks they should have differ
ent names.

The classical guitar requires
a long apprenticeship of hard
and devoted practice before an
acceptable standard of per
formance can be reached. Five
years of practice is minimum,
he said, before a classical
guitarist would consider show
ing his face and instrument in
public.
The pop or folk guitar, Hol
ister said, appeals to the ‘I-can
teach-you-to-play-in-sevei -days’
syndrome.
While the idea of an engineer
wearing the hat of a music
virtuoso may seem strange,
Holister maintains that it is
not strange at all.
Music and Math
“It is only recently that the
schism between the arts and
sciences has appeared.” As
early as the Sixth Century,
B.C. the Greeks used the vi
brating strings to relate music
to mathematicians and it was
the early Pythagoreans who
were thus responsible for the
introduction of music—as a
mathematicial discipline—into
the curriculum of the medieval
universities.
“It is also not generally
realized that the modern laws
of planetary motion were estab
lished by Kepler as a result of
his attempt to relate musical
harmony (the myth of the
music of the spheres) fo plane
tary motion.”
Holister arrived at the Uni
versity last ear by way of
the Univesrity of Wales where
he taught engineering.
He first studied the guitar
at the Spanish Guitar Center
in London while he was a stu
dent in physics at London Uni
versity. A fellow student then

sidered one of the thiee great

From Oxford
Holister later taught guitar
at Oxford, England his home
town. He founded a school
there which is still active
under the guidance' of a for
mer pupil.
Holister feels that the
guitar is probably the most
personal instrument that can
be played. “You hug it to you
and experience direct physi
cal contact between fingers
and strings • dthout any
mechanical interm edia r jy
such as a bow or keyboard,”
he said.
When Holister isn’t teaching
guitar, he teaches engineering
mechanics and conducts re
search into the properties of
man : m ad e composite ma
terials, trying to determine
strength and stress behavior
for making components like
turbine blades and deep-sea
submersibles. He has written
two books in the field.
And when he has a little ex
tra time, he practices judo with
his eight-year-old son. He holds
a green belt in the sport.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, UNIVERSITY PARK, PENNSYLVANIA
St. Francis Students Seething
Over Library Clothing Rule
T .ORETTO, Pa. (AP) St.
Francis College students! went
to the brink of a demonstration
yesterday in the library
clothing feud, but ended up
keeping their cool.
They heeded a student
group’s plea to handle the dis
pute through negotiations with
the administration. Talks were
scheduled to start today.
Some students are clamor
ing for the right to wear casual
clothes to the library, but the
college has a rule requiring
more formal attire.
, Robert Cox, an editor on the
school paper, said 200 to 400
students planned a march on
the library yesterday evening
in defiance of a ban on sweat
shirts, jeans, sneakers and
slacks with patch pockets.
But the Student Government
Association held an emergency
meeting yesterday aft >rnoon
and appealed for suspension of
the demonstration. The associa
tion said it felt the dispute
might be settled “through nor
mj channels.”
Cox said the students have
been trying for over a year to
get the college to change its
policy about dress in the li
brary. Things came to a head
last week' when the librarian,
New Aid Plan
Introduced
Students who are holders of
Commonwealth scholarship s
will automatically receive a
special rene al application
from the Higher Education As
sistance' Agency during the
Spring of 1968 to determine the
students continued eligibility
for Commonwealth scholarship
assistance.
The new plan is intended to
facilitate a smoother renewal
procedure between the institu
tion of higher learning, the ap
plicant, and the Higher Educa
tion Assistance Agency.
The renewal application will
be an abbreviated form used
primarily to update the fi
nancial status of a sc' olarship
holdler’s family and take into
account any changes that have
occurred in the student’s fi
nancial situation. It will also
serve to update PHEAA rec
ords on any outside aid the stu
dent may have received since
he was awarded a Common
wealth scholarship.
