Campus Religious Poll Raises Many Questions A cross-section of interests, doubts, and problems touching on religion were revealed by an informal campus opinion poll in preparation for Religious Evaluation Week, which begins Sun day. For five days the campus will take time out to evaluate its religious life, emphasizing the need for “First-Hand Religion.” Dr. Charles W. Gilkev, who arrives from New England Sunday, will deliver a series of addresses on this theme Sunday through Thurs day. Innovations this Year The opinion poll, directed by Gerry Smith, is an innovation this year. A representative sample of student thought was obtained by questioning members of 10 living organizations. A total of approxi mately 500 answers was received. A section of the form asked for questions in 11 areas of interest. Most often checked by students as topics on which they would like further discussion were marriage, including intermarriage between persons of different religious faiths and religion and science, with em phasis on the apparent conflict be tween scientific theories such as evolution and accepted teachings of religion. Other Questions Also frequently noted were ques tions on the compatibility of relig ion and Communism, comparative religions: "is there one true faith?” religion and education, racial tol erance, and religion and politics. “Probably the most valuable sec tion of the questionnaire was the one asking for additional questions of personal interest to the student,” Smith stated. • Challenging questions submitted included “can Man live happily gov erned by a philosophy instead of a religion?”, "why is individual re ligion frowned upon?”, “must one attend church, or is it sufficient to conduct one’s life by personal ideals?”, and “are students auto matically exempt from religious Annual Heart Hop (Continued from page one) used tickets to Lois Williams at the Delta Gamma House by 1 p.m. today. The progressive dance will be held at Kappa Alpha Theta, Sigma Kappa, Alpha Chi Omega, Zeta Tau Alpha, and Gerlinger. There is not set progression and students may go to any or all of the dances. Campus clothes are in order for the affair. It is sponsored by the YWCA sophomore commission. Last year net proceeds from the dance were $200. "We hope to have a large turn out for this dance and urge as many Oregon Staters as possible to stay for the dance,” Co-chair man Marylin Thompson said. Committee heads for the hop include Betty Boner and Miss Thompson, general chairmen; Jeanette Houf and Marion Galla, decorations; Lois Williams; tick ets; Bonnie Birkemeier, posters; Frances Gillmore and Jeanne Hoff man, promotion, Carol Udy, re freshments; Pat Mullin and Bar bara Clerin, King of Hearts; and Virginia Kellogg, publicity. ideals and activities during col lege ?” Question Boxes Provided Results of the questionnaire will be used in leading firesides and stu dent discussion groups during Re ligious Evaluation Week. Further questions arising as a re sult of Dr. Gilkey’s lectures or other portions of the week’s pro gram may be submitted through question boxes to be placed in the Co-op and at lecture locations. Informal interviews will be held with Dr. Gilkey Monday through Wednesday evenings, 7 to 8, at Westminster House. Saturday Last Chance To Get Athletic Cards Students who have not yet se cured Athletic cards must pick them up by Saturday, Howard Lemons, athletic business mana ger announced Thursday. These cards will be available the rest of this week at the ticket of fice in McArthur Court. Fun Fest Petitions Due Petitions for arrangements, pro gram, registration, and invitations chairmanships for the Interna tional Fun Fest are due by 5 p.m. today at the YWCA. Picnic Scoop— (Continued irom fiage seven? ments. Beer is frowned on by the administration, but most everyone else thinks it’s dandy. It does pre sent its own little problems, though. Now the stage is set, and we can give a few pertinent pointers for picnic participates. First, size up you oppon—your date, unless it’s someone you’re sure of—er, someone you know. Such subtle, tell-tale indications as kicks in the ribs, loud screams, and headlong flight will tell the keen observer much about how the even ing is likely to shape up, unless this is an afternoon picnic, in which case he’ll find out about the after noon. Another good thing to notice is which direction people leave in when they depart for a moment to see whether anyone has stolen the car. Then if you decide to notice whether anyone has stolen the car, too, you can look for it in a differ ent place. I hope this is clear. Actually, a seemingly innocent little thing like a picnic can turn into a major science, but probably there won’t be enough room here for a complete account . . . One other thing, though. Rust ling grass is usually assumed to be i caused merely by transient rattle snakes, and ignored. Might just be the wind. 11 a.m. "YOU MUST CHOOSE" REV. W. M.

Alexander Mersdorf Blaclily and Deadwood Young People Participating Ba'ptismal Service FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH Broadway at High Foreign Committee Established A five-person foreign students service committee has been organ ized on the University campus, Chairman Bob Carey, senior in speech, reported Thursday. Other members are Bud Lanser, senior in mathematics; Carol Udy, sophomore in music; Ann Gillen waters, junior in psychology; and Lorna Larson, sophomore in liberal arts. Hope to Defray Expenses Purpose of the organization is to raise funds to help defray foreign students’ expenses in the University. The committee hopes to provide funds covering unremit table fees not taken care of by University scholarships, incidental living, text books, and emergency expenses. First project of the committee, planned at a meeting Thursday afternoon, will be to hold a draw ing, with the prize a gold-plated typewriter. Tickets, at 50 cents apiece, will be sold through living organization representatives be ginning Monday. All profits will go toward paying expenses of foreign students in the University. Money Available Lowered Several factors led to the com mittee’s formation. The number of American dollars available to for eign students has been lowered by the devaluation of foreign money. Groups sponsoring foreign students here need a fund from which to draw in case of emergency. Also, most foreign students ar rive here with just enough money to cover traveling expenses.
