Program Chairman Jim Paul presented Professor Oscar
Patterson of the Communications Department of PSU,
and a member of the College Speakers Bureau.
Dr. Patterson said. "I am very concerned about the
Right in this country to speak freely as is provided by the
U.S. Constitution." Hie right to speak is guaranteed as
there is no such thing as a bad idea. Hie best idea comes
to the top as a result of communications with one another.
We have fought two wars, developed an intolerance to
other people. Example "The Japanese man in Hawaii
said. 'Go back to the main land white boy. You don't
belong here.' This fctolerance type is due to a lack of
communication and 8 not good. It is a major unethical
response, a delemmg as we don't seem to know why we
do what we do. For example, we drive 66 in a 56 speed
zone a real break in ethics. And this may become
universal. Kant, the great philosopher said 'Do what you
do will become the law of the universe.' Be happy, said
Kant. Love your neighbor as yourself. And also said by
Christ What is the ethical, mora) way to live? How many
children are abused? Who do we owe our behavior to? Do
we behave ethically for ourselves or others? How may die
trying to live ethically? Hying to keep up ethically? DOes
the nation tell you what to do? Yes, you do all of these
things in order to survive, to protect yourself. In combat
you kill. In society, H is wrong to kill. The Bible tells you
to live tight Obey orders. Honesty demands you do
things to be successful. Dr. Patterson said he was the only
survivor of 250 men as he played the game right in
Vietnam. Played the game to survive. Mlllikenplayed the
game and got ten years. Kids will do anything to win.
Hiey haven't had the Bible in years. Hie Constitution is
never discussed ando ur pluralistic society must live
together and be able to communicate. There would be no
revolutions.

THE COACH'S CORNER
NFLftayofft
It's truly a tight race with the wild
card race for play-off positions. Even
Dallas with its win over the Redskins
may make it because of the extra wild
card in its division. There are 14
teams, six in the AFC and 8 in the
NFC, all because of parity and the
draft, and all have a chance to make
the play-offs since they all have
between five and seven wins.
Cincinnati is in first place in the
central division with seven wins, and
the Rams are in second place with
five wins. Kansas and the Raiders
have eight wins each in the west
Even Minnesota having won five
the rnrr 'n the *???(.
along with San Diego and Seattle
with their lix win*. In the NFC
Philadelphia and Washington have
seven wins and a wild card edge.
Minnesota will have a tought time aa
they face the New York Giants, San
Francisco and the Raiders. Ikmpa
may be out of it as Testaverdi won
out over Ray Perkins who had
benched him for two gamee. Perkins
has probably gotten Tampa ready to
roll next year and sad to say, loat his
job. Hie NFL race is just as tight as
the baseball playoffs. The 49ers win
over the Giants 7-3 Monday night
shows how close the race really is.
