A VERY SERIOUS problem confronting us today—and far more serious than most observers believe it to be—is the agitation and turmoil on many of our college campuses. Historically, the campus has been a place for learning and a center where students, professors, and administrators can meet together in a rational, intellectual manner to work for and attain many needed solutions to the problems of the day. But the situation on many of our campuses today does not reflect a rationality and objective intellectualism that proved so valuable in the past. In fact, we seem to be witnessing a trend toward the opposite direction. Students strike, taunt police, abuse educators, and even riot — all in the name of campus freedom. Some professors help foment strife by teaching courses in which students are encouraged to commit violence for the sake of "gaining insights into contem porary destructive and self-destructive art" which means. I sup pose. that mastering the art of destruction is part of the learning process. In too many instances, administrators are either too weak or 100 scared to take a positive stand against campus disorder. The record so far shows, regrettably, that when militant students resort to rioting and lawlessness, they usually get what they want, even though in the process education is disrupted and entire campuses closed down. IT MAY BE TRUE that students have certain grievances, real and imagined, against universities and society. And no one can deny that young people have a right, and in fact a duty, to work for the betterment of both. But in our free society, whether in government or on the college campus, the way to bring about worthwhile improvement, is to work legally and sensibly within the established system — not by trying to completely tear it down. The "campus revolt" has progressed much too far. What is needed now is for the proper authorities to take charge of the situation and turn our schools hack into the institutions they were meant to be. where teaching and learning are the primary objectives. The way to do this is to demand that law and order and edu cation prevail on our campuses and to take whatever action is necessary to back up that demand. *4*4 f FENCES WILL BE MOVED IN AT ATLANTA STADIUM; DISTANCE TO 'POWER ALLEYS' SHRINKS TEN FEET Ihe fences at Atlanta Stadium will lie moved closer to home plate for the 1969 National league season.

Added to whatever there is about Penn sylvania that might be conducive to the de velopment of musical talent. Daniel B. I owner had the advantage of being retired in a family of musicians. And the father. Singer J. G. Towner, had young Daniel reading notes before he was old enough to read the Blucback Speller. After writing, teaching, singing, and di recting cho rs for churches in New York state and Cincinnati. Daniel Towner joined Evangelist Dwight 1.. Moody, as song di rector. in 1885. It was while leading the singing at one of Moody's revival cam paigns, at Brocton, Mass., when he was 35 When we walk with the Lord In the Light of His Word What a glory He sheds on our way* While we do His good will, He abides with us still And with all who will trust and obey.

Southern Bell 0 j years old, that Towner chanced upon the iheme for a hymn by which he has been remembered ever since. In response to Moody's invitation for personal testimo nials. a young man rose and said, regarding his salvation. “I am not sure . . . but I am going to trust and obey.” Si ruck by the phrase. Towner jotted the words down and sent them to his Presby terian minister friend, J. H. Sammis, in In diana. Sammis, a native New Yorker turned minister in the Midwest, executive of the Los Angeles Bible Institute and author of 100 hymns, wrote some verses around the phrase and sent them back to Towner, who set ihem to music. D. B. Towner started singing when he was a baby at his father's knee. He sang all oxer America and Europe for Moody and other evangelists. He was singing at a revival in Longwood, Mo., on October 3, 1919. when he was suddenly stricken and died. Ihe world is still singing his music to a hymn that was born when a young penitent said he was not sure about his salvation, but he would “Trust and Obey.” Not a burden we bear, Not a sorrow we share, But our toil He doth richly repay; Not a grief nor a loss Not a frown or a cross, But is blest if we trust and obey. Then in fellowship sweet We will sit at His feet, Or we ll walk by His side in the way; What He says we will do, Where He sends we will go— Never fear, only trust and obey I riday before the Valdosta game.
