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

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.

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.
